Few more things
Two Things:
- Is there anyway to sort out newpages (I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't) to only see articles with a certain word count or something else?
- Did you think of anything that shows all Boston Celtics related articles?
Thanks. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Bot
This list says all common mis-spellings. You think (I know you are not so experienced with bots) you could make a bot for me, If not I know where I can suggest it. It's just that I want a bot so bad... - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- That's great! Which one do I download? I use WIndows XP, if that helps. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, looks like I'm bothering you. I was actually reading through the directions in the Oython attachment, those look easier. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Confused
I was reading the directions in the Python manual (confusing) - those are easier (the ones you just showed me). How do you open a text editor? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:03, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Done. I did everything up till "Other wiki pages". Now what? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Bot 2
Here is what it says:
mylang = 'en' usernames['wikipedia']['en'] = u 'Oreobot'
- Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Nope. Just want to get it right: When you open command line, all you do is type in user-config
Cause thats what I have been doing. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, yeah, I forgot it up there but I did type it:
chdirC:\Documents and Settings\Desktop1\Desktop\Python\pywikipedia
and I also tried:
chdir C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop1\Desktop\Python\pywikipedia - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
One word: HOPELESS - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Nope... I'll try it on my laptop tomorrow this doesn't have service pack 2 - that might be the problem? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Question
Would it be plagarising/non-free use to use the info in this pic to make an svg file for wikipedia (specifically, Sirius)? I wasn't sure, so I would appreciate your opinion on whether that would be ok or not. Thingg⊕⊗ 04:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
SANTANA TO METS!
BREAKING NEWS! SANTANA TRADED TO THE METS FOR 4 PROSPECTS! --HPJoker Leave me a message 23:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Just heard! Wow! Do you think you will write something about it in the newsletter this week? jj137 (talk) 03:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- You think? You think! Hell yeah I will! Story of the off season. I just wish we had more readers.
- ALSO! How can I apply myself for an RFA? I'm considering more of myself as a vandal fighter than an editer. More like a power running back in football. Could you give me some editing tips? --HPJoker Leave me a message 03:17, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Can you nominate me? Having some trouble finding it....?
- By editing tips, I mean how do I find bits in articles to edit? HPJoker Leave me a message 23:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Would that affect me in getting an RFA later? HPJoker Leave me a message 01:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
RfA thanks
I am not one for sending round pretty pictures, but after my recent RfA, which passed 68/1/7, I am now relaxed and this is to thank you for your support. I will take on board all the comments made and look forward to wielding the mop with alacrity. Or two lacrities. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 21:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey, tried it on the laptop - didn't work :(. Also, can you email me the text that was deleted on Gianfranco Contini, someone said it was copyrighted. I'm not so sure because he placed a speedy on some other articles and they have been removed by other admins, so.... thanks. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, just read it over - doesn't look like a copyvio to me, can you look it over? Thanks. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:49, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Go to my sandbox all the way at the bottom is the exact text. Is that still a copyvio? And also, the guy has received quite a few requests of articles that have been restored. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Do you think History of the Byzantine Empire (1430-1453) should be deleted - it's already in Byzantine Empire and its written in a better way, and Byzantine Empire is a featured article. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Bot
Are you experienced with any other types of bot creations (Python doesn't look like it's going to work) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- I am familiar with AWB, which is very efficient, but I haven't really tried any other types. jj137 (talk) 23:21, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Fantasy Baseball
Seems that ESPN will never open league creation, so I created a new league on CBS Sportsline. You should register an account there, and the draft is this Sunday at 1 P.M. If anything Is wrong, please tell me. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 00:15, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- That's odd. Do you have an account? STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 11:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Try searching for "League of the Wiki" on league search, and join. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 12:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Parish of St. Monica and St. James, Capitol Hill
Hello, This topic is re "03:46, 1 January 2008 Jj137 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Parish of St. Monica and St. James, Capitol Hill" (Deleted because "CSD G11 - spam". using TW)" I created this page. As someone new to Wikipedia I am not sure what "CSD G11 - spam" means, but to the best of my understanding the page is not spam. Can the page be reinstated? Thanks, StMJ
Big hole brewing company
Greetings. I noticed that you switched the speedy deletion on Big Hole Brewing Company to a prod instead. I don't necessarily object, as clearly you have edited far more than I, and thus presumably are better acquainted with deletion policies. But I am curious as to the reasoning, so I can be sure to properly tag any future articles. Thanks. Zahnrad (talk) 12:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I have deleted this article (which you created) under CSD A3, because it had no content (consisted only of empty tables and template transclusions, most of which were broken). You're welcome to recreate it, but I thought I should let you know because there was possibly some issue with whatever script you were using to create the season articles (I came across this one via the random article button). —Random832 20:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- OK then. There's about 2000 or so of those baseball seasonal articles, and some of them which aren't yet Start-Class or higher still need to be expanded. Unfortunately, I have been delaying the expansion of these articles (which I really shouldn't have done), but since you have brought it to my attention, I will take care of it. If it's all right, I'd like to restore the article, expand it, and expand all of the others around it (or as many as I can). jj137 (talk) 21:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've restored the article (though I don't really see how it's useful in its current form). Sorry for deleting it, I'd actually assumed that this was supposed to have been created with the tables actually populated and your script had had an error or something. —Random832 21:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi! This article, that you deleted as a result of an AfD, has been recreated. I don't know how close the current article is to the one that was deleted, but the sources look identical to me. Please let me know if there is a step I should take here, or if you can handle this. Thanks, Darkspots (talk) 21:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
"An error has occurred"
Each time I try to join the league it keeps saying, "An error has occurred" - Any suggestions, or is it just me again? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- No, it's not just you, it's doing that to me too. I'm stuck. jj137 (talk) 22:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
2 things
Where is the list that shows all pages that need Disambiguation on Wikipedia? And, on the little images on top of my talk page - why do the feautured images when you click on them lead you to nowhere? Thanks, - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Vince Lombardi Trophy
Looks like you should semi-protect Vince Lombardi Trophy. Good amount of IP Vandalism, I RPP. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not going to - there's only been two different vandal edits. jj137 (talk) 02:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Alright - also - Boston Celtics I added about 35 references to that, now I do I split the ref list at the bottom into two sections like, well most other featured articles? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Johan Santana
Want to help me here. Kind of an edit war going on the Santana page. I'm wanting to put Mets on there and he reverts it talking about a physical, which is scheduled for Saturday. My case is that a pitcher like him ain't gonna crash at that moment. Everyone passes the physical, or at least 2 time Cy Young Award winning non-power pitchers that I wish I could write about but can't since I can't find the newsletter. =-) HPJoker Leave me a message 05:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Here's the link to this week's newsletter. On the Johan Santana article, it looks like it has since been changed to Mets. jj137 (talk) 16:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

- So sorry I couldn't do it yesterday. I was so busy yesterday with homework and getting ready for the Super Bowl. I can make it up to you. Have anything in mind? HPJoker Leave me a message 16:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- PATS! Trying to create a userbox right now. Have any tips? HPJoker Leave me a message 16:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm trying to create a userbox that says "This user is rooting for the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl". I'm copying User:UBX's template for the Pats userbox and modifying it. How do I get it to be a subpage? HPJoker Leave me a message 16:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Also, when you get back. Could use some help. HPJoker Leave me a message 16:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Super Bowl...
...and you don't see every games pre-game show starting like 12 hours before the game. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 19:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yep :) - I saw that, when I saw it edited in Recent Changes. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 20:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
2 years ago (was it?) I was watching the Super Bowl - going for the Pats (like every time...). "The Super Bowl now only 15 mins. away..." said one of em pre-game show guys. So, I ordered Pizza had it delivered, and I was thinking I would be eating pizza, and drinking Pepsi while watching the Super Bowl - both things were done and the Super Bowl hadn't even started :(. So this year I'm going to wait until one team actually kicks off :). I don't trust the guy who just said it's only 15 mins. away now... - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

re:rollback
wow that was fast!--KerotanLeave Me a Message Have a nice day :) 23:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- well I have an obsessive habit of watching every single page I visit, so my watch list is about 12,000 pages, which makes it rather useless.--KerotanLeave Me a Message Have a nice day :) 23:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah it is rather, I recently realised that I could be much more efficient if I got rid of all those pages and only watched the ones that I needed too, and I made a mental note of this not to watch every page that I went onto any more. Within 30 seconds after purging my watch list clean, I realised that I had watched the last 2 pages that I had viewed without realising, and then I also realised that I can't function on wikipedia without clicking on the watch page tab.--KerotanLeave Me a Message Have a nice day :) 23:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Not even close to anything I expected... We actually have a game here. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Um... I know you're an admin and all, so I kinda feel funny telling you this but... you should welcome users that have made a few useful contribs... at least that's what I learned. --Alisyntalk 01:43, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Super Bowl
Sorry to hear that your pats lost. ;( RC-0722 communicator/kills 23:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ah well, they got really lucky... were you going for the Giants? jj137 (talk) 23:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, sort of. RC-0722 communicator/kills 23:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think Plaxico Burress is my least favorite person right now. jj137 (talk) 23:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- You're probably not liking eli manning right now either. Oh well, You guys need to draft a running back... RC-0722 communicator/kills 23:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Do you guys have second or third round? RC-0722 communicator/kills 23:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Then you need to draft Someone like Jamal Charles. Actually, he'd be good for you guys cuz he can catch. Anywho, thats my opinion. RC-0722 communicator/kills 01:42, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I thought the Pats traded for another 1st round pick? BTW, being a Buckeyes fan, I know all about losing the big game. :) Burner0718(Jibba Jabba!) 02:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think they might have... I don't keep up with every NFL news, but that sounds right. jj137 (talk) 02:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- I saw on a mock draft a couple weeks back that the Pats had a top ten pick. Burner0718(Jibba Jabba!) 02:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Then they should draft RB Darren McFadden or MLB Laurenaitis (is that how you spell it?). I want to see the Chiefs draft Super Mario. The Pats don't need him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RC-0722 (talk • contribs) 02:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

BAD NEWS (well could be)
Asante Samuel has a really good change of nnot staying with the Pats next season - they say he wants too much $money$. NO!!!!! - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Tell me about it - and today I overhear this conversation of someone going: "Remember when the steelers won the Super Bowl" - "Yeah" - "And now they suck" - "Yeah" - "I bet you the Pats are going to as well next year".
- If only I had a gun during that time. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Is there a way to get rid of the title at the top on your user talk page - similar to this guy? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Bot Help
With your experience, I thought you might be able to create as bot (or possibly two). Please tell me if you could and I will give you more details. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 11:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sure I could help. I'm very familiar with Python wikipedia bot and AWB software. What exactly do you have in mind? jj137 (talk) 20:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- I was thinking about a different type of anti-vandalism bot, one that removed gibberish from pages (I'm sure there's a code for that somehow...). My other idea was a bot that patrolled userpages for vandalism, which is something that ClueBot and VOA Bot II both do not do. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 21:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm leaning towards Python, and think the user vandal bot would be the best to go. I am pretty sure there is find a way to make it that only other users are counted. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 23:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Mabye PHP would work? STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 01:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't really have a lot of time working with PHP. I could try and learn it, though. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 11:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA
Someone wanted to nominate me for Admin! So I'm going to run right now - No just kidding, (someone did nominate me, but I'm not running). NOT TILL MARCH :). - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, that's good news to hear! There's someone you know will support you when you run :) jj137 (talk) 01:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yep :). I told him you were already nominating me - he said he will co-nominate me instead. :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah - I was really surprised that Stormtracker's didn't pass. He must have had 10 co-noms. Also, the bot think does not seem to be moving forward. And is it required (I'm pretty sure it is) that the title be bold in the article, like the first time it appears in the first sentence? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah - great editor! Just asking the above because well, a bot should be created to simply bold the title. Oreobot does seem to be moving forward BTW. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- And oh yeah, I was checking my mail, and if you have Yahoo Beta - I suggest you don't check it. Or close you eyes when looking at the front page, and click "Inbox" without seeing it. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Can you see the deleted text of Shrewsbury High School (the one in Massachusetts)? I didn't make the article, but it was deleted as nonsense, and the school exists, so I don't see a reason for that. Just post the text in my sandbox. (Not going to have you email it to me).

Fantasy Baseball
CBS Sportsline is up and running and the description is....
"A league for wikipedians that have organized it"
Apparently everyone EXCEPT us has joined it. I'll create another one.
ALSO! ESPN.COM OPENS UP ON THE 17th! MAYBE WE COULD TRY THAT IF SPORTSLINE DOESN'T WORK! HPJoker Leave me a message 00:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Before I set it up, anyone know the difference between Standard Rotisserie, 5X5 Rotisserie, Roto Plus, and Weekly Head to Head? Those are the different types of scoring options on CBS Sportsline. Should I do Head-to-head, like it was set up on stormtracker's league? HPJoker HPJoker Leave me a message 01:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- First of all, whats a good draft date?
- Go cbssportsline.com/fantasy, click play fantasy baseball, look below and click FREE FANTASY BASEBALL. After you've clicked that, click the yellow PLAY NOW button, then enter in you're team name (you're wikipedia name?). After you've entered in your team name, scroll down. You'll see a link that says Search for League by Name. Click that and search for Boston Red Sox Wikiproject. Description is A league for me, jj137, Stormtracker94, and Milk's Favorite Cookie. You should be there then! It's a private league so let me know if you can't find it.

- First of all, I need a draft date. Remember it doesn't have to be this weekend. I'm available all day tomorrow and Milk doesn't care. Do you have an IM or e-mail I can send the password too? You'll need to give it to me directly because the E-mail this user thing in the toolbox doesn't work for me. HPJoker Leave me a message 03:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

"Triple" Copyvio (or so I think)
- Uno: Admission Possible =[4]
- Dos: Audioscape =[5]
- Tres: Phillip Silverstone =[[6]]
Looks like sometimes the words have been switched around just a little but other than that... They are all AFD's and while voting and looking over the article I found they were all copyvio's. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think I'll just let them be deleted through AFD, since it looks like they will be. I don't know if they have enough word-for-word content to be considered a blatant copyvio and be speedy deleted. (Sorry, I'm no expert on that sort of situation.) jj137 (talk) 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

MORE fantasy baseball
So, do I join your league? Are the 3 people in it you, Milk's Favorite Cookie, and Stormtracker94? HPJoker Leave me a message 01:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Here. Should I leave mine and join yours? I like ESPN better because it has more options. I can have a league for 4 people. I also experienced MAJOR lag in a mock draft on sportsline today. I wanted Billy Wagner and ended up with Gil Meche after hitting Billy Wagner's Draft twice but nothing happened. If this league doesn't work out I can check out ESPN and try out that free league option that Stormtracker found. Is there one for baseball? There should be. I think I might scout Yahoo. So, should I leave my league and join yours? HPJoker Leave me a message 02:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

- I'm going to make an ESPN league next week at some point incase CBS doesn't work out, like the draft doesn't work out or something. I can create a league on there so we can draft with four people. HPJoker Leave me a message 04:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Most likely (Yes). Hopefully I can get to know you guys (especially Stormtracker) a bit better in a more playful kind of way instead of this serious wiki way. Would you follow me if CBS didn't work to ESPN? IT'S FREE AND MOCK DRAFTS BEGIN February 11th. HPJoker Leave me a message 04:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Would it be a good idea to upload a large image (seen extremely clearly) of every player's stats of the Celtics? I have a shot of just about everyone's stats. Tell me, and I will get started. Would you like to see an example? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think it would be better to just input the stats ourselves. They can be sortable, and plus, some people can't even see the images. I would still like to see an example, though. jj137 (talk) 01:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Article Devadasi revert war
Multiple sock puppets are adding false references about devadasis in this article. Devadasi phenomenon was an offshoot of old Hindu kingdoms in India. The phenomenon has ceased to exist for since 1925 AD. So everything in this article refers to the past not present.

I created some templates for the asssessments - is that ok? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure if that's a good idea. They're a little redundant, aren't they? jj137 (talk) 23:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- What do you mean by that - they seem to be working fine. Here is a list:
- {{redsoxassessment-stub}}
- {{redsoxassessment-start}}
- {{redsoxassessment-start-nested}}
- {{redsoxassessment-stub-nested}}
Is the article is mid/hign importance, or higher class, I don't use the templates. I'll stop if you really think so. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- (sigh) Ok. It just made it really fast. I would have '{{redsoxassessment' copied, and I would paste it then put '-stub', '-start', 'stub-nested' etc. Just made it 5x faster, but if you say so. Also, that some other assessments have that, and these seem to work perfectectly. :( - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Jj - I've jsut moved those foyur templates to more standard names (mainly so that two of them won't get mixed up with the hierarchy of stub templates on Wikipedia). Assessment templates usually take the form "X-Class Wikiprojectname". They're now at:
