[edit] Rolling back
Howdy Carders. The rollback option appears when you look at the differences between two states of the article. I've rolledback the German armored fighting vehicle page. Oberiko 10:59, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- My apologies Carders, it's actually an admin function (been one for quite awhile, forgot that little point).
- There is a way for non-admins to do pretty much the same thing though. You can go to an articles history, click on an ealier version, then edit-save it. Oberiko 02:02, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] LInks on Historical sizes of railroads
No problem. I'd been meaning to start adding data like that to the "XXXX in rail transport" articles for some time. Rather than just a list of events, I'd like to see each of these have a general overview of the railroad scene worldwide. It would be tricky to avoid repetition in the prose without resorting to a list of statistics, but it can be done as long as the data are available. slambo 21:53, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Woodworking wikiproject
Hello, I have noticed that you have recently been making a number of valuable edits on woodworking-related pages. I would like to start a Wikiproject on woodworking if there is enough interest. Please reply on my user talk page if you think this is a good idea (oer even if you don't. I have taken a stab at a starting a wikiproject page in a sandbox page at User:Luigizanasi/sandbox. Feel free to edit it and to add your ideas. As soon as we have enough participants, I will start the project page at Wikipedia:Wikiproject Woodworking. This message has also been sent to User:SilentC User:Boinger User:RJP. Luigizanasi 20:42, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- In response to your message on my user talk page, yes the objective is coordination and identifying what needs to be done. On the time commitment, nothing less than 24/7 will do. :-) More seriously, I see it as mainly as a place to put ideas on what needs to be done with respect to articles on woodworking, and for participants to check when they have time to do something. Other wikiprojects have more ambitious goals, such as formatting all pages in a particular way, etc. The wikiproject page itself is editable by anybody, and this project could take any turn depending on what participants want.Luigizanasi 04:06, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Hello, I have started the Wikipedia:WikiProject Woodworking page. Please feel free to edit it in any way. There is also a discussion page where we can have general discussions (I think discussions about individual articles are OK in their respective talk pages).Luigizanasi 04:54, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image galleries
You have in the past commented on Image Galleries nominated for deletion. Most galleries are nominated because the nominators feels that galleries violate WP:NOT. The William-Adolphe Bouguereau gallery has been nominated for deletion (here). A proposal to modify WP:NOT is here. Please join either or both conversations and comment as you see fit.

[edit] Notability of GOAT (Ultimate)
A tag has been placed on GOAT (Ultimate) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Vgranucci 02:48, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GOAT (Ultimate)
Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article GOAT (Ultimate), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
