THIS IS AN ARCHIVE OF EREBUS555'S MESSAGES ON WIKIPEDIA, CLICK HERE FOR THE CURRENT DISCUSSIONS.UploadeditI have just added my first upload apart from an image onto Wikipedia. It is a .pdf file however it is under Image:. It is on the Birmingham redevelopment plan Birmingham buildingseditHello, I see you're doing a lot of work on buildings in Birmingham. To avoid conflict with some users (I don't mean me), could you try to write more encyclopedic information about the buildings and why they are relevant for inclusion to wikipedia. Otherwise you're going to get complaints along the lines of "Wikipedia is not a listings directory" (which is fair comment). If you'd like any advice, please feel free to contact me.

Right....editRight. After looking at cheungs talk page I think I better do something about my images. Now, to be honest, I don't know how to get permission off websites to use their images. But altogether, I don't have a clue about copyright anyway so I have decided to take the photos off the pages and ask someone to delete them for me. I will take my own photos now so it saves having to do lots of stuff with copyright. Thanks anyway. Erebus555 08:57, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Actually, the British didn't invent English. No one did. It evolved from the Indo-European language family. When the Angles, Jutes, and Saxons conquered England, they blended their Germanic languages with the Celtic peoples who already lived there. Furthermore, when the Normans conquered England around A.D. 1000, the French language was intermingled with the English language of that time; thus, nearly half the words of the English language are derived from French. → JarlaxleArtemis 03:29, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Excellent job! - UtherSRG 17:15, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
While, I am sure you mean well and I applaud your determination in going through and sorting and labeling everything, I don't think the little alphabetical labels are all that helpful in the smaller groups. Please see comment at Wikipedia talk:Requested articles/Natural Sciences. Dragons flight 00:52, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
VandalismeditMy talk page has just recently been vandalised with an unappropiate image put on it. I will make aware the user who did this soon. - (Erebus555 17:16, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC))
New TaskeditI will now start editing spelling mistakes and other minor edits on stubs and other pages since I cannot find the time to create new bold, detailed articles. - (Erebus555 15:50, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)) Stub templateseditHi Erebus555, Though I think it's laudable setting up a special page with stub templates for new Wikipedians, it's actually causing a problem. Your user page now appears in lots of different stub categories which the stub sorters are busy trying to empty, because you've put the templates themselves on the page, rather than putting template links to them. In any case, there is a much fuller and more comprehensive list of (as far as I am aware) all the stub categories at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. By the way, if you're interested instub sorting, the people at WP:WSS would be only to happy to welcome yu onto the stub sorting team! Grutness|hello? Edit summarieseditHey there. :) Might I suggest that you began using edit summaries? They are very helpful for other editors who have interest on the articles you are working on, since it's a way of keeping track of what is being changed. So if you are, for example, editing an article about a city, and you correct the date of it's founding, mark the edit as minor and that will do for the summary. However, if you make subtantial changes to the article, make a short list of the things you have changed. It takes very little time and it helps others greatly. Cheers! --Sn0wflake 15:00, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC) Why people use WikipediaeditWikipedia:Why people use Wikipedia has been moved, per your request, to User:Erebus555/debate1. – ABCD 22:10, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) Lake-stubedit...cuts directly across the current categories used at WP:WSS and as such is worse than useless as a stub! Please - if you intend to make new stub categories, get them checked out at the stub sorting project first. Currently all geographical items are separated by country or region, not by type of item. Double stubbing is unneccessary in these cases, since it is far more likely that individual editors will know about a country rather than a landform type. If there was a separate Lakes WikiProject (as is the case with ecoregions) it might be acceptable, but there isn't. Both template and category have been listed or deletion. Grutness|hello?
User PageeditI have done my user page up. It looks like the main page now so I am happy. - Erebus555 14:53, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Enhancing imageseditI have started enhancing images which look a bit faded. So if a user wants to use the photo, they have a better version to use. Article creationeditI have been looking through the list of unwatched pages (available only to administrators) and found 1824 in architecture. I see that you created this but were not watching it. You may want to go to your preferences and under the "editing" tab turn on "Add pages you edit to your watchlist". This will enable you to keep an eye out for any edits that are made to pages you create and help to revert vandalism. If you do decide to turn it on can you please drop me a note on my talk page so I can cut down my excessive watchlist. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Welcome!editWelcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject! I see you have contributed to some Atlantic hurricane articles, and we are glad you decided to join us. There are numerous ongoing projects are currently being worked on, and any help you can give we will greatly appreciate. If you have any questions, you can ask me or prose a question at our headquarters. Have fun, and see you around. Hurricanehink 17:07, 18 February 2006 (UTC) Vandalised articleeditI've just been informed of Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, which had some pretty nasty defamatory material left on it for a while. I've deleted the offending revisions - basically everything after 11th Feb - but there's always the possibility it'll come back again. I'm leaving it on my watchlist as normal practice, but as an editor recently involved with the page, could you keep an eye on it as well? Thanks... Shimgray | talk | 23:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
*Sor, Fenando, (1778-1839), composereditI can't imagine why your "Small edits" included removing him; i'm putting him back. If i am missing something, please let me know.
Image copyright problem with Image:Five_Ways_Tower.jpgeditThanks for uploading Image:Five_Ways_Tower.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Image legality questions. 10:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC) Monadnock Building and other American buildingseditI reverted your changes to the article on the Monadnock Building (and other American buildings) to the American spelling. Article on an American building should use American spelling, according to Wikipedia style. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English. -- DS1953 talk 15:22, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Erebus, unfortunately your edits of American spelling to British spelling on American-content articles contravene the Manual of Style, as pointed out to you above. The particularly unfortunate thing is that you have been using the AutoWikiBrowser which is a great productivity tool, but can cause a lot of damage in a short space of time if misused (even if inadvertantly). An admin has temporarily blocked your access to the use of AWB. Please carefully review the MOS spelling gudelines and look through all the edits you made. If you can agree to work your way through them systematically, and revert if need be, I am sure we can restore your access to the use of AWB. Bear in mind for the future that all AWB edits should be carefully considered before being committed. Please get back to me. --Cactus.man ✍ 18:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Please stop changing spellingseditErebus555, please stop using AWB to change spellings of words in articles to your own preferences. "storey" and "metre", among others, are the correct way to spell the words in some countries. Wikipedia accepts all variants of English, and prefers no regional spelling over another. Also, please do not forge your edit summaries - you are not "reverting" your changes - indeed, many of the articles you modified today have not previously been modified by you. Thanks. -- Tangotango 14:56, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Canadian articleseditErebus555, you have been changing the correct spellings of "storey" and "metre" in Canadian articles to the American spelling. Please stop. Skeezix1000 16:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Image:Help.JPG listed for deletionedit An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Help.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --Sherool (talk) 22:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Can you explain to me your reasons for changing the cataphile page? You didn't leave an edit summary, and you edited out some important points. -- hibou 12:29, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Category:Buildings and structures in ManchestereditHi. I noticed that you created a new page called Category:Buildings and structures in Manchester as "part of a plan to downsize main Manchester category". Has the creation of this page been discussed anywhere, as it introduces a problem with some of the recategorised articles and I want to see if corrective action has already been agreed before I take action myself. Thanks. Road Wizard 16:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask. |
