AFD: We Came To Take Your Jobs Away
On the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/We Came To Take Your Jobs Away, you added your opinion as "Keep all per argument below." However, there is no argument below and I'm wondering if you intended to add this comment to this particular page or to another one. Regards, User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. :) In fact I finished the code and pushed it live earlier today, I'll update the bots user page now. Also, I had a bug so that bot wasn't running, it should be now.

I think these may be the same thing, but the descriptions are somewhat unclear (they are both very short). I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone is familiar with 17th century dances and can advise on if they should be merged, or if not, how they can be better distinguished.

Featured sound candidate
Hi, I wonder whether you have time to look in at Wikipedia:Featured_sound_candidates/When_Johnny_Comes_Marching_Home.

You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you
This might not mean much to you, but when I was a new editor about a year ago, you welcomed me to Wikipedia. I don't know what made me feel espcially nostalgic today, but I just wanted to stop by and say "thank you" for your extra work in "welcoming" a new user. I'm an admin now, and I've tried my best to be welcoming to new users and fair to those that come to me for help as an admin. Again, thank you for doing what you do, and I hope you are having a good day as a Wikipedian. Let me know if you ever anything, Keeper ǀ 76 01:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Category merging - need your help
Hello administrator Rigadoun. Thank you for all your help here at Wikipedia.
You created the category Category:Lists of radio episodes [2] back in 2009 and it currently has 2 entries. I have found a similar category created in 2007 titled Category:Lists of radio series episodes [3] that has 24 entries. I was thinking these 2 categories could be merged.
I looked around at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/All current discussions and read the rules at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion (a.k.a. CFD process).
I am not expert enough to feel comfortable going through the CFD process so I asked for help at the Help desk (see request for help). -
I am looking to you for expert help. Would you be willing to review the 2 categories and merge them if necessary? If not, would you help me with whatever the next steps should be? Thanks for your help. - Hydroxonium (talk) 07:18, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Hydroxonium. In theory there could be a difference, as radio episodes could group episodes of different series. (For instance, something like List of radio episodes from some year or treating some topic). However, it seems unlikely any such lists would be created, and the two articles that were in the Category:List of radio episodes really belonged in the other category. So I went ahead and recategorized them and deleted the category I had created, which really just duplicates the other. You could have gone to CFD, but this seemed clearcut enough that you could just be bold. Thanks for noticing the redundancy. Rigadoun (talk) 17:44, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you very much, Rigadoun. I sincerely appreciate your help. I spent several hours reading how Wikipedia works and trying to figure out the CFD process and I was thoroughly confused. Maybe in a few years it will seem simple to me, but right now I'm still learning. Thanks again. - Hydroxonium (talk) 03:45, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

language templates
Hi. As you may see above, I proposed that a couple of language templates should be deleted, but the decision was to keep them. However there did seem to be a consensus that some rewording was desirable so as to stress that the original script to be added should be based on WP:RS, rather than perhaps just on re-transliteration. Similar comments would apply to

MSU Interview
Dear Rigadoun,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
- Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
- Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
- All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
- All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
- The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at [email protected] (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
