Wax Tailor warning/deletion

Hi Luna Santin, Im a wiki rookie and started a page for Wax Tailor. Being a rookie I kept making mistakes and editing them.... I was the one who started it and made all edits. So I can do that but not in one sitting - well 24hours? So I should use preview instead of save. Also how can I get his bio up on the page? I have permission to use his bio as im promoting his music in Australia. So I should footnote that and im ok right - can I just footnote source? thanks fred

13:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC) Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Luna Santin 13:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

how can we delete a page which I consider as dangerious?

Hello I think that the page about the duo prussian blue must be deleted beacause its content could be dangerous, specially for kinds. Is it not possible? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wnxbcv (talk • contribs) 7 August 2006.

User talk:74.237.15.152 The Bold and The Beautiful

The edits I made on August 7, 2006 were done in the interest of brevity and in order to provide an overview of the show as opposed to rehashing storylines in detail. Storyline details can be found in the archives of the show's website and are not necessary to be included in a summary site such as Wikipedia. Please consider restoring the edits. Thank you.

Bizarre blanking

Thanks for fixing that so quickly. I was trying to do it myself, but got an edit conflict. Do you know why that happens? It's the second time I've tried to remove that user's speculation from the trivia section of that article, and both times it has blanked huge chunks, even though all I did was go to the previous version and resave that. Any help would be appreciated! Jenny Wong 07:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reposting a welcome message to Nellistc's talk page. I was attempting to work in my own sandbox and accidently (God knows how) copy/paste on Nellistc's talk page.

Thank you

Hi Luna... I have only recently begun contributing to Wikipedia, and even then hesistantly despite the entreaty to be bold (trust me, it won't take long), and I logged on today to find your "Welcome" message. Thank you very much. It's that sort of greeting that reinforces my comfort in being here. I look forward to being a contributing member of the group where my limited knowledge allows. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Don Ellis (talk • contribs) 12 August 2006.

A message so soon :-)

You're either next door or in a time zone far, far away... thank you again. I imagine I'll confine my contributions to things I know about -- or at least know a little more about than what I find in a particular article -- plus minor grammar corrections on other matters. I'm an advertising copywriter and somehow, mostly by osmosis, I've accumulated some grammar skills over the years, probably from looking up answers for clients questioning my usage and phrasing. I'm American but have lived in Hong Kong for 20 years, so I even have a bit of fluency in British and American English. Which brings me to a question -- is British or American English preferred on Wikipedia? Or is it so international that we can do what we want? Or match the English to the subject (like Westminter versus Kansas)? Cheers... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Don Ellis (talk • contribs) 12 August 2006.

Edit on Holy Cross College, Ryde

I believe my edit should not have been reverted due to a degree of accuracy. A former teacher and year coordinator at the said high school was arrested for sexual misconduct with several students (notorious for being "trouble makers" and having many disciplinary issues) in which sodomy took place. If you feel the reference to the incident was too satirical, i apologise, but I still wish for it to be included in the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.30.200.208 (talk • contribs) 13 August 2006.

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, Freakofnurture, and Titoxd 05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

I'm a little surprised to hear that really. I've seen so very many YouTube links on Wikipedia over such an extended period of time that I simply assumed them to be commonplace. Am I correct in assuming that you've adopted a policy of deleting every single YouTube link you come across on the website? If so, you will certainly have your work cut out for you. 217.136.49.99 09:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Subst: templates

Hi! I see that, using AWB, you've replaced some tags with their subst: equivalents. For my education, what does this actually accomplish? The language is exactly the same. (Basically, why are subst: tag templates more valuable and/or appropriate than their non-subst: tag counterparts?) -- please don't say "beacuse of the Wikipedia substituion guideline" -- I've looked at that, but I don't quite get it. I need a simplier explanation. Thanks.

I'm sorry for making a mistake on editing your page.

Ah, gotcha; it's cool. Thanks. :) Luna Santin 09:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note!

Yep, the 3O dispute worked out fine. There was never any question; just the usual troll putting up a vanity page and then getting huffy when I listed it on AfD. I'd actually offered to work with him to salvage some core of an actual article, but he preferred to descend to invective and attack. I mostly listed it at 3O so that he'd see that it wasn't just my opinion that his page was less than notable.

So... thanks for your interest! Cool that you go to DVC; a couple of my former students go there now. Ta! --Graham^talk/mail/e 22:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Crosses! Skulls! Visual hysteria!

(Paging Edward Tufte. . . .)

I've just now very belatedly noticed your comment here. Sorry I didn't see it earlier, but I stopped paying attention to that discussion after a time, and only revisited it today when I wanted to point Woohookitty toward it.

I'm still sure I'm right about that.

I'm particularly wary of doing things that aggrandize "counter-vandalism". As I see it, vandals are boring, countering vandalism is boring; if you jolly up the latter task too much you risk attracting some screwy people to it: you get "counter-vandals" who at one level or another actually crave vandalism. Indeed, at about the time I was writing that commentary, I was intermittently dealing with a curiously keen vandal hunter -- who quickly turned out to be a part-time vandal. (He claimed a split personality or some such. He switched ID, and now the old ID is banned as an imposter. Or similar: I've lost track.) -- Hoary 11:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you.

I'd like to thank you for your friendly introduction to Wikipedia, a resource which I have been following and using since its very roots, but have yet to make the impact to it that I owe it. I was not fully aware of the 3RR rule though, and that was very kind of you to inform me of that, before I blow it for myself right off the bat. If I seem like I have an ill-temper in the other pages in which I am currently active, don't take that as my usual conduct. I am just trying to post some relevant information to a page for something I am very experienced in, such that others who may come here to learn what is happening will be informed. My irritability merely stems from the haughty accusations of vandalism and more-or-less impolite manner that is being used to deal with me by certain members.

I am deleteing this paragraph simply from reason of common sense. Skailc is Croat- THERE IS NO ANY KIND OF CONTROVERSY (ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE SUCH A IGNORANTS, BUT REFUSE TO THINK FOR THEM SELF!) ! If you were a slavist as I am you would be knowing that Skalic, Skalich, Skalić etc. are all of slavic origin. Further, in a modern Croatia there are many familyes with that kind of surname ( also important to mention that all that family names are notorious in country for centuries). And on the end- I don't think that Wiki should keep on with old,(for scientists) well known mistakes of "solid" encyclopedias like "Britannica", "Americana"... concerning some matters (esp. when it comes on smaller nations!). If you don't have better (more accurate,much more recent!) sources and letters you shouldn't insist on "CONTROVERSY". On this way wikipedia is becoming more and more ridiculous for the anyone who knows somewhat better on this ( and some other) matter than usual user. This also means that Wiki is missing to provide a scientific proven informations for it's users.

But why am I so surprised- it is said fact that even country like England still doesn't have a department for Croatian language and culture (not a single university!). If you want it, you can check it easily!

I'll respond here, since you seem to be using a dynamic IP address. Given the sourcing provided in the article, encyclopedias such as Encarta and Brittanica don't seem to corrborate your claim that there is "no controversy." Quoting from Encarta [3], "In 1559 the Encyclopaedia; seu, Orbis Disciplinarum, tam Sacrarum quam Prophanum Epistemon … of German writer Paul Scalich was published. This survey of the entire circle of science, “sacred and profane,” represented the first use of the term encyclopedia." Care to explain? Luna Santin 09:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You haven't proven anything new- only that Brittanica and Encarta are shamely ignorant concerning some matters ( I wonder if you have read this part: If you were a slavist as I am you would be knowing that Skalic, Skalich, Skalić etc. are all of slavic origin. Further, in a modern Croatia there are many familyes with that kind of surname ( also important to mention that all that family names are notorious in country for centuries).)

Your proces of corroborating is different that this of many countries in Central, Eastern, South-eastern Europe, also many countries in other continents which aren't of western origin...

While others rely equally on sources and common sense (which means to use little more your own brain!), your proces is reduced to basic repetition of something from some sources, doesn't matter if they are true/accurate or false/mistake. In fact your kind of corroborating doesn't pay much of attention on checking... it's enough that it is written in "Scientific Bibles" like "Britannica" ... But why am I so surprised- it is said fact that even country like England still doesn't have a department for Croatian language and culture (not a single university!). If you want it, you can check it easily! But,I guess, all of you are just a products of that kind of society/es. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.131.53.28 (talk) 26 August 2006.

I highly encourage you to read policies/guidelines including verifiability, no original research, and reliable sources. Probably most importantly, per WP:V -- "the standard for inclusion on Wikipedia is not truth, but verifiability." With that in mind, please find reliable sources to back up what you're saying. These philosophies have been developed over time in an effort to improve the factual accuracy of Wikipedia; if it makes sense, it's not our place to decide whether Britannica or Encarta are accurate, but to report what they've said (and, if there's disagreement among reliable sources, to report that). Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing your sources. Regards, Luna Santin 10:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I see! But what else could you espect of countries like England, Usa, ... Yes, it has long time ago this countries abandoned a basic TRUTH!

I guess, if you said something false for enough time it would become "reliable". In short, that is basic of your proces of corroborating and providing a "proven facts"! You know, there's a term for this kind of people in my (also some other countries) country - they are called "FAHIDIOTI"- MEANING, SOMEBODY WHO'S REPEATING SOMETHING WITHOUT ANY KIND OF understanding! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.131.53.28 (talk) .

Again, please cite reliable sources so that your claims can be verified by other editors, and so that Wikipedia can avoid original research. Luna Santin 10:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, there's no any point of this- you just keep on; let anyone think for your own sake- DON'T RISK THAT MUCH TO USE COMMON SENSE! WIKIEDIA IS unfortunatelly, as I can see, very poor kind of source- IT'S OWN POLICY IS A "REASON" AND "EXPLANATION" FOR PROVIDING FALSE/INACURATE INFORMATION. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.131.53.28 (talk) 26 August 2006.

I will gladly stop mentioning verifiability policy when I'm convinced you've actually read and plan to abide by it -- an excellent way of doing that would be to cite reliable sources. Again, I encourage you to do so. Thanks so much for your time. Regards, Luna Santin 10:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I can see that you are repeating yourself like as if you were a parrot, also a very big FAHIDIOT... So, as it seems, policy gained a decisive victory over basic scientific truth! Vive la démocratie! It seems that this "encyclopedia" is fool of lawyers and politicians, but there's none of, for instance: historians, linguists, slavists, ...

You (likewise some others there) are not worth while of any reasonable discussion- simply from the fact of their dogmatic blindness ( something similar as a dogmatic blindness of Christianity of middle ages).

Thanks for the Welcome

Thanks for the Welcome.

If you've got the time I would like your feedback on my first attempts to add to Wikipedia. My pages came about when under the Disambiguation for Orion I noticed a non existent page for Orion Expedition Cruises , the company I work for, which was listed under the disambiguation. I added a page for the company and the vessel MV Orion as well as a page on a previous now defunct Australian based cruise line Norwegian Capricorn Line. I am very much aware that this is not an advertising forum so I have tried hard not to make the article sound like an advertisment. If you have the time to have a look at these pages and give me some feedback it would be appreciated. Angra 08:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

like this?

is this how to do? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.74.159.194 (talk) 27 August 2006.

Thanks for the Sachs revert - you go away for moment and ... - glad I could return the favour! Cheers --Nigel ^(Talk) 17:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping the vandals on my UserPage. It is much appreciated. Cheers Canadian-Bacon ^(contribs) 17:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Wtf

What the fuck are you talking about I didn't vandalize shit and your saying I vandalized it?There is no need in that article as it has no point in an encyclopedia so stop deleteing my great additions so you can see my excellent work to the encyclopedia douchebag. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.218.155.135 (talk) 27 August 2006.

Edits like these [4][5] are pretty much textbook vandalism, though personally I'll prefer to assume that you're new and don't yet know the protocol for these things. If you want a page deleted, the proper method is to go through the deletion process. If you'd like to suggest policy changes (such as deleting all profile pages), the proper method is to post such a suggestion -- I'd recommend the village pump. In the meantime, please remember to remain civil in discussions. Thanks for your time. Luna Santin 19:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I can safely say that I was legitimately surprised when I saw that sitting there on my Talk page, and there's not much that surprises me around here anymore. Thanks again. BigHaz 11:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Danielle Foxxx and Delhi Public School

I have queries regarding both thse articles. Should I include the yahoo group which Danielle Foxxx operates in the article on her?

And second do you think the article on Delhi Public School is written in encyclopaedic tone because I think it is in serious need of wikification tag. Hope to hear from you soon. Unitedroad 15:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Another Opinion Needed

Hello Luna Santin, thanks for the welcome. If you get a chance, I need a neutral opinion on the actions of Duke53 concerning the George W. Bush article and its discussion page. Most of the problem is detailed under the discussion section titled "Deletion of Inappropriate Statements". Since I'm not 100% familiar with policy/guidlines, another opinion would be very helpful. Thanks! AuburnPilot 21:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for throwing in your 2 cents; we needed somebody who wasnt involved. AuburnPilot 23:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

...for your help with that odd vandal (who links to Yahoo instead of Reuters,and includes that strange spam message on talk pages). The backslashes are a sign of an open proxy with poorly written software (see WP:OP) -- anyone using one can be blocked on sight. Only vandals, spammers, and other such types have any reason to use them. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 05:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
