Connection

Sorry, RF. My entire ISP's been dropping the ball recently. A lot of people near me are having connection problems, and so am I. I'm sorry I could not help you out. Cheers, —Mizu onna sango15^Hello! 20:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC).

Question

Hi Reliableforever, I saw you're a member of Wikproject South Carolina. I don't see much going on there and you're active so I thought I'd directly ask you to assess an article I'm working on: Robert Ford (politician). The importance for Wikiproject South Carolina is missing - it's probably low. Thanks! Hekerui (talk) 16:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

UAA

Hi Reliableforever. I have removed User:Nazimshe from WP:UAA as I am unconvinced that it is a blatant violation of username policy. Nazim is a fairly common name in certain parts of the world - the user's edits appear to be good faith and don't seem to be pushing any radical agenda. I'll keep an eye on them, but I don't feel that I can block them at this stage. Best wishes, Rje (talk) 15:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

User talk:98.181.13.63

I reverted your speedy tags to the talkpage, since the content there was a warning, a non templated one, but a wholly correct one, based on that user's contribs. --Terrillja _talk 06:07, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Alturnertive Prize

Hello Reliableforever. Just to let you know, I declined the speedy deletion you suggested for this article, as I did not find that it met any of the speedy deletion criteria. Regards, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:34, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I'm still getting used to being back on here. Reliable Forever^talk 17:08, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Account Question

I just realized I have received Twinkle, I'm curious, did I get any special privileges while I was away? Seeing as I didn't have all these buttons  before. Sorry for  bothering you with this, if someone did give me special privileges I'd like to thank them. Reliable Forevertalk 17:10, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Twinkle is now more integrated than it used to be, so it's now available by default (but you have to turn it on in your preferences, I think). From what I can remember, it is now no longer possible for administrators to disable twinkle for a particular editor, but it used to be. Rollback rights are still allocated on a per editor basis (as I see you already found out). --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:35, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Your account rights can be checked at Special:ListUsers and there are no changes as of this time, I see you have requested rollback if your request is granted before you read this then your rollback status will be shown there. There are a lot of new buttons with Twinkle you can read this documentation and customize the settings here Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences. If you have any specific questions regarding Twinkle feel free to ask on my talk, if I can not answer your questions I will help you find them. Cheers Mlpearc powwow 18:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks everyone Reliable Forever^talk 18:51, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Huggle Question

A lot of the warnings are showing up as the "Hello and welcome! I edit Wikipedia too" Is there a way to fix this? Reliable Forever^talk 00:47, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

This is part of a project to see which kinds of warning are most effective. See Wikipedia:WikiProject user warnings/Testing. -- John of Reading (talk) 12:36, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

From Ocirne94

Concerning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ocirne94 I have blanked the page putting the "Now Commons" template (page is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Speed_Dreams_car_with_headlamps_on_and_glowing_brake_disk.jpg) because I have moved it to Commons; I thought I was following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Moving_images_to_the_Commons#Transferring_Manually; what did I miss?

Hi!

Would you like your talk page locked temporarily to stop IP edits?--5 albert square (talk) 02:17, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I put in a request for page protection already since it seems to be the most sensible thing to do right now against this IP Hopper.—cyberpower (Talk to Me)(Contributions) 02:21, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I've locked it, both the talk and user pages are locked for 1 day. If you'd like them unlocked before then, then just file the request--5 albert square (talk) 02:34, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Help

I am wondering if I can do anything to prevent anonymous users from impersonating me... Please let me know as soon as possible, it is making me stressed. Reliable Forever^talk 17:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I would take this to WP:ANI if you are being impersonated--SKATER ^{Is Back} 17:16, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

This will probably stress me out more, but if I have to,I guess I will... Reliable Forever^talk 17:19, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

You could also just go on the talk page of an admin and ask there.--SKATER ^{Is Back} 17:57, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much for all your help, but I don't know any admins that are currently active. Reliable Forever^talk 17:59, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm currently active!

I've removed your notice on ANI. Don't worry, it's not that you've done anything wrong - but in cases like this, trolls are doing everything they can to stress you out. And, sadly, they feed off of any attention, especially when their exploits are being paraded on a popular noticeboard such as ANI (they think of it as a badge of honour).

As for your situation; there's not much we can do at this point aside from block them on sight. Aside from the editor you reported on ANI, are there any other instances of IP editors doing this? m.o.p 18:03, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much, as for editing, I will have to wait and see for him to come back... I'm sure he will anyways. I am thinking of adding Jim and HurricaneFan's pages to my watchlist so I can make sure he doesn't come back. I don't really like messing with sockpuppet accounts, but when I was very young I made the mistake of angering a sockpuppeteer. Sorry for bothering you all, but I have one last question. Since I am still pretty young, and I really have bad vocabulary/can't help out much on articles, is there anything else I can do to help wikipedia besides reverting vandalism & reporting vandals? Reliable Forever^talk 18:08, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

If the IP comes back and keeps harassing you, it's best to report instances of it to WP:AIV, as that board deals solely with vandals and is watched by hundreds of administrators.
As for helping out, there are a lot of things you can do! If you'd like, you could look into getting a mentor - there should be a few decent mentors active. I'd offer, but I'm a bit busy in real life at the moment. I can always give you a few behind-the-scenes areas of the encyclopedia which could always use some help.
And don't feel like you can't help out just because you're young - I started editing back in 2005. I was 14. One of the beauties of Wikipedia is that nobody has to know how old you are - there's always ways you can help out. Cheers, m.o.p 18:21, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

All right, thank you very much for all the help Reliable Forever^talk 18:23, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Any time! Take care, m.o.p 18:31, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I'll officially offer to mentor you if you wish. I just turned a8, when I made my first edit I was 13 and started editing frequently at 15.--SKATER ^{Is Back} 16:48, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

ClueBot NG Helping

Hey,

Thank you for your interest in helping get ClueBot NG up to speed.

There are 2 ways of helping, processing false positive reports and reviewing ClueBot's edits. The first, found at http://report.cluebot.cluenet.org is where users report false positives, of course, it requires human reviewers to check these FPs and bin those by, if you excuse my phrase, idiots who just send reports for the fun of it (with stupid comments as well). The second is at http://review.cluebot.cluenet.org and requires a Google account and approval, this review interface allows trusted users to overview ClueBot's edits to see if it's reverting the right thing, when enough users have given a rating to the edit, it directly goes into the dataset which improves ClueBot's performance.

You may wish to help with just one, or the other or indeed both, the choice is yours. Please follow the instructions below depending on what you want to do (please follow both sets if you wish to do both).

Report Interface:

1. Register on http://report.cluebot.cluenet.org 2. E-Mail myself by replying to this e-mail or using the "E-Mail this user" on Wikipedia. 3. You will be given access to go over the reports. Note: ALL actions on the report interface are monitored via IRC, if there are constant invalid reviews, your access will be revoked.

Review Interface: 1. Head to http://review.cluebot.cluenet.org/ 2. Click the "Here is a link" and log in to your Google Account and allow the Review Interface access to it. 3. Fill in the form it gives you. 4. E-Mail me with your Wikipedia name by replying to this e-mail or using the "E-Mail this user" on Wikipedia. 5. You will be sent an e-mail when your account is active and you can begin reviewing CBNG's edits.

Many many thanks again for helping.

IRC cloak request

Hello Reliableforever! You requested a wikipedia/ or wikimedia/ cloak on IRC, but didn't provide us a diff (or the diff you provided is not valid for some reason). Please edit your userpage and put in IRC cloak request as edit summary and send me the diff via memo (/ms send Barras <diff goes here) on IRC or drop me a notice with a link on my talk page on meta. -Barras ^talk 15:35, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Adoption request

Hi Reliableforever, I notice you've had a request for adoption up for a little while. If you would still like to be adopted, can I suggest that you contact one of the editors on the list of adopters? As Wikipedia is a volunteer project and many adopters are busy, a more pro-active approach would mean that you are more likely to be noticed. If you've got any questions, feel free to leave me a message. Worm^TT · (talk) 14:02, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Based on this, and the fact that you've since been offered adoption, I've removed the adoption template from your userpage. Worm^TT(talk) 10:07, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Years

Hi, since your name's down on this project, I'm just writing to let you know that there's a discussion going on at the moment on how to format events – and in particular, events that go on for multiple days – on year pages. Your input would be appreciated. — Smjg (talk) 18:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi! I see you are requesting adoption and so would like to offer to adopt you. Myself and my replacement/assistant, RexRowan have an adoption school, which can teach you all the basics of Wikipedia. We believe the adoption course is a great beginning to your Wikipedia life and User talk:RexRowan, who has completed the course himself, will happily tell you how useful the course was.

The adoption school contains a series of 10 lessons, each focusing on a different aspect and with a short test at the end of each. The lessons are then followed by a final exam.

Should you be interested in getting adopted, please read this Code of Honour, then return here and press the button below, filling in USERNAME with your username with out the User: prefix. This questionnaire gives me an insight into you and allows me to adjust the course should I need to, so please fill it in.

Also, please drop a line to say you are interested either below this message or on my talk page at User talk:Adam mugliston.

Thanks,

Question

Hello, I have come back after quite a long time, I was wondering if it was possible to change my username? I would like a somewhat "fresh start". Sorry if I am not using the template correctly, I am planning on going over everything again. --Reliable Forever^talk 03:07, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi: Here's the page on changing your user name, just pick one that isn't taken and ask. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:17, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey, thank you very much for the information. --Reliable Forever^talk 04:30, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

A few more

Hey, I have 2 questions here, since I opened up huggle again.

1. Why is it that some users have random long strings of characters and numbers? I have never seen anything like this here before.

2. Is there any way to get this name on the whitelist, my old username before the change is still there.

Thanks. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 20:51, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

1. I think what you're referring to are IPv6 addresses which are used for some users who edit without an account; it's a newer version of the more common IPv4 addresses (like User:123.45.67.89).
2. If you mean the Huggle whitelist, that's unrelated to using Huggle yourself. It's a list of users trusted by Huggle not to be vandals. I don't know how that whitelist is operated or modified, but since you were originally added by Lucas Thoms, he may be able to help here. Huon (talk) 21:25, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

1. Yes, that is what I meant, thanks so much.

2. Ok, I will see if I can contact him then. Thanks again. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 21:38, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

In relation to number 2, the whitelist is added to (and removed from) by users of Huggle themselves, if a Huggle user comes across a good edit, they can mark it as such. When many users mark edits from the same user as 'good edits' then that user is added to the white list automagically. So to answer your question, just edit making good edits, and you'll get re-added eventually - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 19:31, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I see, thank you very much. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 20:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Requesting information

Hey, I am sorry I have asked quite a few questions since coming back here, but there is something I really would love to do, above all else.

I would love it if I could translate/help with translations of Articles not in English. Specifically Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Japanese.

Is there any way I can offer this, or request that I am able to help with it?

Thanks very much. I'd love to do such things. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 14:56, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

I don't see what would be stopping you. You can add yourself to WP:Translators available. Other than that, be bold, go ahead and translate what you can find that needs translation! You can also check WP:Requested articles; there might be a few requests where an article in another language exists (I'd try the biographies by nationality), or you may want to check out the respective WikiProjects such as WP:WikiProject Denmark or WP:WikiProject Japan. Finally, there's Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation and WP:Pages needing translation into English. Huon (talk) 17:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks very much again! I'll look into those. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 17:06, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Oh good, I see Huon mentioned WP:PNT. Please watchlist that; you'd be amazed what gets created in languages other than English, and there aren't many of us working on Scandinavian languages :-) Other than the suggestions, if you see a page on a foreign-language Wikipedia that does not have an equivalent here, and you feel capable of translating it, please do so! (I've done that fairly often, and now I get requests '-).) There are two things you should note, though: first, en.wikipedia is stricter about requiring references than most of the other Wikipedias - you should be sure to include at least two good references, whether drawn from the foreign article or researched yourself; and for full attribution, if possible in the very first edit summary when you start the article, even if you start it in user space, mention the foreign-language article you are basing it on, then when the article is complete and in main space, create its talk page with Template:Translated page - see my recent Bal Mabille for an example). All that said - do it, please :-D Yngvadottir (talk) 17:20, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks very much again, for all the help! It truly does mean a lot to me. I've added it to my watch list. I will keep that in mind, and I will observe closely as well. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 17:41, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Reersø

Hey, I am wanting to translate this article from Danish Wikipedia. I was told previously that I'd need at least 2 good references, so I was wondering if there's a place where I can put articles I work on, without it actually going to Wikipedia (like a test page). I believe I've seen others with such things before and that it was mentioned above. Not sure if the user sandbox is fine though? Thanks. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 07:50, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

The most common place to work on this sort of draft is in your userspace. You can create a page with a name like User:KorinoChikara/Reersø; such a page won't be part of the encyclopedia proper, although it'll still be visible to people who know its name. (Once it's done, you can move it into the article namespace, where it will become marked as an article and generally searchable, etc..)

Note that if you create a draft, you're supposed to actively work on it; abandoned drafts can be (and regularly are) deleted after they haven't been worked on for a while.

You might also be thinking of the Drafts namespace. That's where article submissions that need review before going live are placed (for instance, submissions from anonymous users). If you want more information on how that works, see Wikipedia:Articles for Creation.

By the way, if you find another good reference, you might want to use it to improve the Danish Wikipedia article as well. The article's quite short, and more referenced material would make it easier to expand. --ais523 10:34, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thank you very much. I really appreciate it, and I'll see what I can do as far as further references and improvements go, along with the translation. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 11:24, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

I am wondering something

So I was wondering, if you are allowed to post on the AN/I or AN if you aren't an administrator or involved there? Is it considered impersonating an admin if you state your opinion? It wasn't clear. Thank you. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 19:04, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

It is perfectly acceptable to join in the conversation on those boards if you have something to contribute. If you look at the signatures, most of the people participating there are not Administrators. Anyone who wonders can always check your rights and see if you are one or not. —    Bill W.    (Talk)  (Contrib)  (User:Wtwilson3)  — 19:18, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 19:19, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Final question, I hope

If you could look at the bold paragraph on the top of my user page, it would explain a lot. I am having psychological problems with the English language (It's a long story, and I don't want to go into that much detail but if I have to I will. There are also other problems that do not help it at all.)

Usually when people are told that they are confusing and to please explain, they do so. For me, it hurts horribly. I still explain but it hurts. I am honestly just wondering if there is something that can be done. I want to help with Wikipedia, but my fear of the English language and people speaking it is not helpful. It's getting in the way with a lot of things. If you wonder why my English is worse than it was or so, it's because it is. The more people have been mean to me (in real life and on the internet), the less I want to deal with it. I honestly only use it because I have to, or so people can understand me (which isn't a good reason as I honestly feel they can't understand me anyways)

There's not much problem with my reading abilities. That's what I'm really good at. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 23:53, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

There are ways of contributing to Wikipedia that require comparatively little interaction with other editors; WikiGnome work comes to mind. In fact, you can probably do quite a bit of work in the less-frequented parts of the encyclopedia without ever having to explain yourself to another editor. Commenting on the "drama boards" such as WP:ANI, however, is not something I'd advise if being misunderstood and having to explain yourself may be particularly stressful to you. Since only the English language is an issue you may want to re-consider your decision to stay here instead of editing one (or several) of our sister projects such as the Norwegian Wikipedia, at least temporarily. Rollback rights aren't all that important, and I doubt they're worth the stress. Huon (talk) 00:47, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

@Huon:,Thank you very much for the response, I really appreciate it. I should probably move to the ones more comfortable to me, the Norwegian one is definitely one of the ones I'd rather be at, the other being Danish. Not exactly sure where I would start, but for the Danish one I can go with what is said above. I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out, until I feel better. I do understand it is a drama board, but I was hoping it would be more open to observations. Naturally though I'll admit that wasn't the best choice to comment on, but I still stand by it, even if words don't work. I think I should leave it to the others if they want it to stay or go, because perhaps someone understands it. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 01:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
