[edit] Old stuff

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

[edit] Newer stuff

Hey, I noticed the Caterpillar thing too. Trying to start some discussion on the talk page. I'm not sure the controversy is a big enough deal to be noteworthy, but it's already been deleted and reverted a bunch of times. Friday 29 June 2005 16:04 (UTC)

About the Illinois State Route 40 article... here's what I posted:

Well, there's the timeline for Upgrade 74 -- they're closing the bridge for 6 months so that they can remove 150 feet of truss. It would probably be impossible to completely replace an entire bridge in 6 months. Also, a mile-long bridge by itself would cost well over $300,000,000 -- the new northern St. Louis bridge has a price tag of well over $1 billion, assuming it gets built. See http://www.newriverbridge.org/faqlist.asp. Add to this the fact that the construction zone is about 6 miles long. ---Rob 03:46, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] buyblue.org

I and a few other people have noticed 12.221.202.125 and some other users adding links to a site called BuyBlue.org and ignoring requests to stop. Since the link seems to be added with a similar description to multiple articles, and the user ignores requests instead of responding, I suspect Wikipedia:Spam or whatever they call swarms of link-adding these days. I intend to remove this link from at least twice as many articles as I see someone spam every time I catch someone doing it, and including the ones I think cause them to get ranked the highest on Google. Helpful links:

Anyone else notice this and/or know what they're up to? The site itself claims to be applying for 501(c)(3) charity status, and it looks like it could be a legitimate site, but the way their followers(?) are adding cookie-cutter links to Wikipedia doesn't look very charitable to me. If they're legitimate, shouldn't there be a template or something?

Um . . . what's wrong with people linking to buyblue.org? LegCircus 17:15, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

It looks like someone has started this up again (or it has never stopped). I'm currently undoing additions made by User:Dave Mott this morning. There still a bunch out there, and in the past it has been added in alphabetical order. I don't think this is just a well-meaning person adding a link they think is interesting now and then. It is methodical and systemic. Mostly I just wanted to say that I'm glad it isn't just me that sees this as a problem. --Straif 19:14, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why is American Coot not American coot instead?

Somewhere on the Wikipedia, and I can't remember where (maybe the Manual of Style or the Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life) it is stated that bird names are capitalized for all words in the name since that is the common standard for ornithologists. ^Blank ^Verse 18:14, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Peoria Category

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that your idea of a category for Peoria related articles is great, as are your contributions regarding the subject. I made a tiny collaboration by adding the category to Peoria War, which I recently created and which you may like to review. May I also ask you, if I may, where does your interest for Spain and Argentina comes from? Regards, Phaedriel 23:29, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I'll make some sort of Peoria-area category next weekend when I have time and can move items that affect the area as a whole but are currently Category:Peoria County, Illinois, Category:Tazewell County, Illinois, Category:Woodford County, Illinois, or uncategorized. My interest in southern Spain comes from having a friend who lives in Murcia; I've visited there and learned a bit about the area. My interest in Telecom Argentina was sort of side effect: On some article (probably AT&T or MAE-East) I stumbled onto a mislink to Equant that should have been to Equant (France Télécom). While researching that, I noticed that the France Télécom article had a huge section about Telecom Argentina, so I split that off. I'm interested in telecom subjects in general and telephone companies I haven't heard of before, though. --Closeapple 03:26, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Feedback

Hi Closeapple,

You have removed my posts from the bankruptcy section (and others). Actually, thanks for doing that since it forced me to read the guidlines for adding content to the site more carefully. I assure you I'm not a spammer and will continue to add useful information to the site (if allowed) that meets the guidelines. For example I added two new sections:

Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) and Superintendent of Bankruptcy

Thanks again for your feedback.

DO NOT add digital channels to TV market templates. It looks extremely sloppy. Take a look at this to see templates that show what the template standard is. --CFIF 17:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction in Peoria article

Unfortunately, http://www.peoriatribe.com appears to be down at the moment, but if you look at their history on the google cache it appears that there was indeed a tribe of Peorias in Illinois. http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:B1C7nlGob7UJ:www.peoriatribe.com/history.php+&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1

[edit] Reply re: Tawkerbot2

The bot undid a copyvio revert. I put "rv copyvio" in the edit summary but, as per Wikipedia:Copyright problems#Instructions, I didn't add a copyvio tag, since the tag is supposedly only for complete removals where there's nothing legal to revert to.

Perhaps we should add a machine readable hidden copyvio tag or something similar to that, I'll have a look into filtering decisions based on the edit summary, currently the bot doesn't look at the summaries but I'll have a look.

The bot added a "reply" to the unrelated User talk:Closeapple#Contradiction in Peoria article instead of making a new subcategory like a normal comment would.

The bot essentially subst's in a warning template, I didn't have it add a new category due to the fact that most of these pages will already have lists of vandalism and wouldn't need a list but I'll see what I can do there.

Is there any way for the bot to tell a registered user with an established edit history from the usual vandals? (Not that "established" Wikipedians don't sometimes go rotten suddenly. Hopefully it's rare though.)

In short short of pulling a Wikipedia user's history each time the bot checks, there is no possibility of adding edit history support, the bot whould have to grab various pages from that users history to determine if they were trusted. The bot does have a whitelist, it's powered by pgkbot and we can add users there manually but auto whitelist is a bit of a challenge. If you have any idea as to how it would check, its a problem I haven't managed to find a solution for yet.

Thanks for the insight! --Tawker 17:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmm...I'd forgotten I asked that lol. Thanks for answering :) — Ilyan e p (Talk) 16:19, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About NRK 3

How did u get any info about NRK 3? I have checked the NRK themselves and they has no plans to air station. The only thing I have about it is an public radio channel (which may be NRK P3, i don't know), but that's the only thing I've got. Please inform me as I live in Norway myself. PS: I'm not an editor/regulator ivers 17:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I got the information from the Bokmål Wikipedia entries no:NRK and no:NRK3. I don't know Norweigan, so it could be different and I wouldn't know it. However, http://www.journalisten.no/ seems to have some articles about it, and http://www.nrk.no/programmer/tv/frokost_tv/5485577.html has a related interview video. --Closeapple 18:08, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, youre right. When the digital cable net will be aired the NRK 2 will go over to be an channel designed for children. It will contain news, documentaries and regional programs. It has actually some kind of similarity to SVT24 which is kind of the Swedish channel for this use. ivers 18:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diocese map

Ah, the diocese map. My roommate was amused and horrified when I spent a whole day making that. Your update looks pretty good. The Provinces of Washington and Los Angeles look to be the same color, though, and a few adjacent provinces (Kansas City, Kansas and St. Louis; Omaha and Denver) are probably too close in color. john k 08:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Upper Mississippi Baseball League

I am really curious is this real or not, I noticed that you commented on the Peoria Prarie Dogs talk page about their first game and it would appear that you know what you are talking about.

I really want to believe that this league is legitimate and that this article is true,

DO you know whether it is or not and if so how do you know?? so many people say that it is probably a hoax and also know other site other than Wikipedia has anything regarding this fabled league.

Please tell me if you know if it is real

[edit] Battle of Hatchie's Bridge state

I have cleaned up the inconsistency between Battle of Hatchie's Bridge and Troop engagements of the American Civil War, 1862. Per the National Park Service and the battle description, the battle occured (just barely) within Tennessee. I have not updated your User/To Do list, as it is, well, yours.

[edit] RFC: Old Farmer's Almanac

Hello,

I am an employee of Yankee Publishing, Inc., of Dublin, New Hampshire.

Two months ago, I volunteered to update the Wikipedia listing for The Old Farmer’s Almanac – a publication owned by my employer.

I am contacting you because you have previously edited this listing.

I have endeavored to follow Wikipedia’s guidelines to the best of my knowledge and ability, and would appreciate your input on the RFC I posted today on the Almanac’s discussion page.

Best, NH-Nemesis 21:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spalding

Not a big deal, but you noted you attempted to alphabetize this page. The idea is to get the most likely hits higher on the page, not alphabetize. If they are generally equally likely targets, then alphabetizing helps. See WP:MOSDAB. (John User:Jwy talk) 15:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rutgers TSUNJ 1000x1000x3c.png.

[edit] Tagging for speedy

First of all, thanks for bringing Institut de l'Égypte to everyone's attention for deletion. I have speedied it. However, next time you're speedying, please don't use the prod tag, and use one of the various "db" tags instead. Those tags are specifically designed for speedy deletion, and place the targeted page in the proper categories for easy disposal.

You may also want to consider adding TWINKLE to your account, as it makes tagging for speedy deletion quick and painless, and saves you from having to remember all the different tags. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the speedy tag you placed on Scott Mingus, as there were several claims of notability in the article text. If you still think the article should be deleted, please begin an articles for deletion discussion. Natalie (talk) 03:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits / Category:Acer

When going on a category adjustment spree, using the "minor edit" option might be a good idea. Those maples have been swamping my watchlist. Circeus (talk) 05:02, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, probably a good idea. The only reason I didn't is that I didn't know if drilling down would be controversial to anyone else because I was using Category:Maples instead of Category:Acer, but now that those have been moved, I'll tag the rest of the stuff as minor. --Closeapple (talk) 05:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I always assume that category stuff is minor. If worse come to worse, someone will put it up at CFD anyway, and the process will be automated during the conversion. I don't think too many people have minor edits hidden by default, actually, but it is appreciated when one need to hide them. Circeus (talk) 06:17, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

They should be categorised by scientific name as per WP:PLANTS policy, i.e., [Cat:Acer], not [Cat:Maples]; I'm changing to this - MPF (talk) 12:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm having trouble finding any mention of what happens when a category name is ambiguous with things that aren't plants; specifically, I don't see any mention that the scientific name of plants overrides. Note that I made Category:Acer Incorporated and Category:Maples specifically because the Category:Acer had about 5 computers and 8 trees in it, and was categorized as "Computers" instead of "Sapindaceae". It will be hard to detect bad additions if the ambiguous category isn't empty. Would Category:Acer (genus) be appropriate (like it is for the article name)? --Closeapple (talk) 19:35, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Typically, categories are disambiguated on the same basis as their main article (e.g. Category:Boston, Massachusetts), so in this case we're sort of split because naming convention for the article states that "Maple" is the most meaningful name, but as a category it conflicts with the scheme in Category:Sapindaceae. Although keeping Category:Maples and Category:Acer split makes no sense, I think we should maintain Category:Maples as a {{Category redirect}}. Circeus (talk) 20:13, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, if Category:Maples is emptied, I agree it should be a redirect for sure. It is permissible to have subcategories of Category:Acer that are subjects related to maples, not the plant types themselves, right? (For example, there is Category:Food made from maple and I was thinking of something like Category:Maple wood for the woodworking/lumber articles that deal specifically with maples.) If those aren't allowed, we would end up with a problem again, as people wouldn't know where to find the plant names vs. the related things, unless Category:Acer also became a subcategory of Category:Maple or Category:Maples, I guess. --Closeapple (talk) 20:23, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

"It is permissible to have subcategories of Category:Acer that are subjects related to maples, not the plant types themselves, right?" - Yes; that's a good idea. When dealing with products, they needn't follow the sci name rule for the plants themselves, so Category:Maple wood would work well - MPF (talk) 13:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Gaylord table

The table format in Gaylord Entertainment Company that was in place prior to your revisions (and restored after my revertion) is standard in other television-related articles. I don't see where you say it was "unsortable", if anything it is very simple and less clunky (unlike the extra unnecessary rows and columns your version contains).

Hence I posted the specific site for items that were specifically questioned, and removed the tag. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 02:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WILL AM-FM-TV logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:WILL AM-FM-TV logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:El Pais logo 2007.svg)

Thanks for uploading Image:El Pais logo 2007.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
