Re: Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage

Greetings! I've replied to your comment at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage, to which I'll add that being declined for access to extra tools isn't a measure of your value to the project—you do lots of good work—it only means you should consider honing your skills and judgement in your areas of interest before re-applying. Take your time, be careful and ask if you're not sure. Tyrol5 [Talk] 21:22, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but [1]. You can't try and get AWB through a bot either, especially when you don't know how to work it yet and vandalism reversions aren't possible through AWB anyway. Rcsprinter (talk to me) 16:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Sections template

I'd like to ask again your rationale for continuing to add the "sections needed" template to extremely short articles such as Camelot (State College, Pennsylvania), First United Methodist Church (Ilion, New York), Henry of Groitzsch, and Roman Catholic Diocese of Nha Trang. The template is typically (but not always) used to navigate through longer articles that the reader cannot easily see on the screen. These articles, at lengths of three or four sentences, do not fall in this category. I've removed the templates. JimVC3 (talk) 23:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Sure. I was once told that it was for articles that had at least two paragraphs in the lead. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 09:21, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

In case you need

Hello. I have recently discovered that you've editcountitis, a dangerous fever. I've come here to give you a script through which you'd fall more sick into editcountitis. If you need to check your edit count, you Go to your contribs, then click edit Count. I've modified it to put a quick link showing your edit count near the My preferences section. To activate, just put importScript('User:Dipankan001/Edit Count.js') in your vector.js page. Hope you have liked that! Dipankan says.. ("Be bold and edit!") 09:40, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

How are you doing?

Hi there, Tomtomn00. I've just got back from a short trip and wanted to pop by to see how you are. How are things going for you at Wikipedia at the moment? If there's anything you need, please let me know. ItsZippy (talkcontributions) 20:18, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Not perfect, I'll email you with the details if possible. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 20:46, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Anti-vandalism

Hi there, Tomtomn00. It seems that you are interested in anti-vandalism work, which is great. As you have had a little trouble before, some more detailed mentoring in this area might be useful. If you would like, I'll teach you everything you need to know about vandalism, patrolling rollback, warnings and the like. Just let me know (here or at my talk page).

Unfortunately, it's really not that simple. As I noted in my original post, sections are meant to help users navigate through longer articles that fill more than one screen and to assist users in finding material. Even if an article is two or three brief paragraphs, sections may not be needed and could even hinder navigation. For example, the articles on Paul Pate and Stephen Yurkovich which you tagged are too short for sections. On the other hand, the articles on Keith Lockhart and BBC Concert Orchestra probably could use sections. I wish there was an absolute rule to follow, but there isn't. If you'd like to get a better idea of the use of the sections template, check the listed articles in the backlog of articles needing sections for November 2011 and December 2011. Not every single one of these is appropriately tagged, but most of them are good examples of articles needing sections. Please take the time to study what other editors have done before adding more tags. Thank you.JimVC3 (talk) 22:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

redlinks

I partially undid your edit to Mount Hood Wilderness per the guideline Redlinks are Okay. Please avoid edits which serve only to remove redlinks. Two redlinks (as there were in MHW, are definitely overkill.

It looks like you are doing quite a bit of maintenance work: Thanks for that. I know how underappreciated it is. Thanks much! —EncMstr (talk) 18:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

I know. I'm also trying to get rollback meaning I don't have to go through the tiring process of using TW. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 18:06, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Do you mean enabling Twinkle? Or the one to two clicks to use Twinkle? —EncMstr (talk) 18:08, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
You see, rollback allows you to revert anything quicker than with twinkle, what I currently use. Rollback would just be a great help for me. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 18:10, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
(edit conflict)In my experience, the Rollback permission is useful when using Internet Explorer, where TW is not available. You may also want to consider using pop-ups, which are also handy for getting previews of pages without having to navigate to a new page, and also allow reverts (but with more clicks).--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:12, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Yes, all I'm saying is Rollback would be the best tool for the job! Note: edit conflict just happened. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 18:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Rollback right granted. Enjoy! —EncMstr (talk) 20:10, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 20:11, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Just to inform you that I've removed the YouTube logo from your userspace. Non-free works are not allowed in userspaces. Thanks. Dipankan says.. ("Be bold and edit!") 10:46, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit reversion

Did you have a reason for reverting some of my recent edits? Tsk-tsk, you didn't list anything in the edit summary. ;) -- 208.59.92.106 (talk) 15:42, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Section blanking and replacing content. If you want to add more content, make a NEW sentence or section. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 15:44, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Aeolus

Just letting you know, and it was probably a slip of the Huggle, but you reverted my revert of 2 vandalism edits and one of the vandal's, leaving the IP's first bad edit. — cardiff | chestnut — 16:04, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

I think it was. Sorry about that. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 16:06, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
No worries ... just letting you know. Best, — cardiff | chestnut — 16:09, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Scribe Publications

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Scribe Publications requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Trumpkinius (talk) 22:02, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
