From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (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).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
• 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!

Hmm. By moving your talk page I'm pretty sure you've broken the new messages notification. Re: the Brunswick Centre photos. Black and white is more commonly used in architectural photography as it highlights the shape of the building. I am not sure whether I have the colour originals - but to illustrate the architecture I think black and white works better anyway. Secretlondon 08:06, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rv blanking on My Messenger

You've reverted blanking on the above article twice now... Notably, a vote of deletion has been placed on the article by its author and only editor who had blanked it. I am a relative newbie, so please explain if there is a reason that it should be unblanked, and not just speedy-deleted...? --jnothman ^talk 08:44, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Thank you for your support on my RfA! When I submitted it, I was unsure of how I'd do, but the support was great. I promise that I won't do anything too stupid with the trust you've given me. humblefool®^{Deletion Reform} 19:44, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Stop by Wikipedia:Deletion reform!

[edit] Style Manual

The link in your comment to the Style Manual is a dead link (it's red). I tried to find something like that, but couldn't, so I just assumed the articles I was looking at were sloppy. However, I do think some of the changes I made were appropriate, like making separate sections for the card series vs. the movie, and deleting a dead external link.

[edit] Songs/Album colors

Thank you for pointing that out - both sides were incomplete, and gosh it was hard to kind the key. Noticed some inconsistencies so i went in to clean up - thanks for pointing out the extra table. though it doesnt seem to include a couple other single categories, like the lightblue for 12" MAXI singles. Barrettmagic 12:20 10 August 2005 (UTC)

You responded saying there shouldnt be additional color codes for singles. Too late :) - they already have been.

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_a_Virgin_%28song%29) I didn't make the color code, but it made sense so I added it to the album table (see Madonna's MAXI Single list for example - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_a_Virgin_%28song%29) all in lightblue.

so they all need to be adjusted to yellow, or this additional category which seems to be in place needs to be promoted. :) Barrettmagic 12:29 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Func's RfA :)

Flowerparty, I want to thank you for not being rude and supporting my adminship, thank you very much! :)

[edit] More Gopal Das!

Regarding the Rami Nuri and Gopal Das articles, which were the subject of that dramatic VfD; they now have a category, and that category has four articles in it. Looking through those four, however, they're rather stubby; I was thinking about merging them into a new article called ECK masters, and explaining what the hell an ECK Master is. Looking at the Eckankar website, there's more of these guys, and researching them and writing on them would be a learning experience for me, which is always welcome. It would also make them less vulnerable to VfDs; "ECK Master" gets a substantial number of Google hits, whereas "Rami Nuri" performs dismally. In fact, the second thing that pops up is that note you left on my talk page. What do you think? CanadianCaesar 19:57, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds like a sensible, nay excellent idea. Much more managable, anyway. I thought about tidying up the Eckankar page before but was kind of worried about showing my face 'round there, and never got much past the first paragraph; "brought forth"? "...for spiritual upliftment"?! But if you're feeling bold I'll have a look at it. I think it's got a long way to go before it follows Xenu, though! Flowerparty ^talk 22:59, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

The Eckankar main article has problems. So do the subarticles, actually. But, I'm just writing to say that I took out a book in the university library and am going through the website, and the new article is going to be different and thoroughly referenced. It has the potential to be just as horrifying as Xenu. It's a work in progress, but none of it is yet saved in Wikipedia, just on my computer. CanadianCaesar 00:13, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rubik's Cube

Sorry about that; I'm not sure what happened (I was editing the external link section). I've switched back to mathematics, but I think it's better to not use the main article format. I've heard that using "main article: " is only used when that section is about twice the length of the lead of the article being linked to, and in any case, the section doesn't treat just the contents of that article. The article I split off is just about math, not about physics, so the main article link doesn't really belong there, in my opinion. --Spangineer (háblame) 18:23, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

What do you think of my latest change? We lose the link to group (mathematics), but it's easier to find the more important link. --Spangineer (háblame) 18:49, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cookie Day

Awww no, i cannot give information for cookie day on an external link yet but hopefully there will be a site for it soon. I suppose we will have to wait until then

[edit] Signature

Howdy. Did you know your signature shows up like this? If you're intentionally using white text on a white background, I don't mind; just curious. Cheers. android79 00:32, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, thought it would add some excitement to my life, though it's clearly just annoying. The background's not quite white, though. Flowerparty ^talk 00:39, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I'll go with this for a bit: Flowerparty ^talk 01:12, 18 August 2005 (UTC)... chic!

[edit] Wikipedia widow

As the author and after further reflection under more sober circumstances I have tagged this article for speedy deletion as I believe it meets the criterion of General article 7 (1.2.7) at WP:CSD. hydnjo talk 20:45, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Since you're the only author, and you've explained yourself reasonably, I don't think there'll be any problem there. Flowerparty 20:56, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

That's what I thought but Ryan Delaney seems to think otherwise. As an Admim I suppose his view trumps ours. BTW, thanks for your astute vote, I was just feeling whimsical at the moment and wasn't trying to inrtroduce a new phrase into our vocabulary (neologisms are not allowed). hydnjo talk 23:14, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template:MikeWatt

Instead of suggesting that the template be deleted, why wasn't I asked to edit it down? I attempted to do but someone reverted it back to its "unmanageable" format. Needless to say, I am not amused. Cjmarsicano 23:15, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I replied at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:MikeWatt. Flowerparty 23:26, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Johnson

sorry for not returning your mesage earlier, sorry if I came off mean by editing your "Clapton's band" part but I thought that you meant like most ignorant people do that Clapton was the leader of the band, you understand that wasn't true as you stated its like Ringo Starr's band The Beatles, sorry for the misunderstanding but now that its so long but I nor you have touched the the page of Johnson so I don't really think it mattered much to you or me so I'm glad there was no editing war. I think we should just let the article stand as it is and just leave it. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks, Patman2648

Hey, I'd completely forgotten. But yeah, I'm happy to leave it as it is. Thanks. Flowerparty 03:41, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Watt

Apparently posting a revised, smaller, more functional template doesn't wash in your eyes. As far as I'm concerned, you're being a total prick by suggesting the speedy deletion of this new version.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of music videos by year

In an effort to have this vote go as swimmingly as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of music videos by name, I'm pointing it out to all the people who voted on the previous one, as it's basically the same information, differently arranged. Had I known it existed at the time, I would have included it in the AfD. Too late now. Thanks. -R. fiend 01:52, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Album articles

Hi. I just thought, as you seem to be interested in such things, that WP:ALBUM and its associated template Template:Album infobox have been updated to more closely follow WP:MOS. You might want to drop by and see some of the changes that have happened. Thanks, and enjoy your editing. Jkelly 08:21, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

No, there wasn't any specific concern on my part. I dropped the note above after noticing you move some album articles to proper capitalization. Given that you are working on album articles and in the MoS, and not knowing if you kept up with WP:ALBUM, that you might like to know that we have deprecated wikilinking every year in the infobox, removed the min/sec time format, and made other style changes. Keep up the good editing! Jkelly 17:53, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] You're a sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on Votes for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=

Hello from an Indian wikipedian. I am wishing you a happy Holi, the unique Hindu celebration of color and brotherhood among all members of the humanity. The festival falls on 15th March 2006.

Congrats on your adminship Flowerparty.

The category is at Category:Images with unknown source. Most of the images have been removed from articles, but some may have been skipped.

Not bad, you? It's true, the extra buttons do make the top of the page look happier, but I keep going to move stuff and being prompted to "confirm protection". I suppose I'll get used to that. I wouldn't worry about the anti-British thing, a bit of post-colonial anxiety is perfecly healthy ;) Flowerparty■ 00:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of Segall and Sons

Why was my article on Segall and Sons deleted? If you want to start deleting articles that you find to be "obscure," why not delete others like W.T. Grant or Woolco to name two. There are some of us out there that like to learn more about little-known businesses and places.Freddyboy 19:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, Segall and Sons was nominated for deletion on 11 March - you can read the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Segall and Sons. I merely closed the discussion, and, since three people thought the page should be deleted and one person left a comment that seems largely indifferent, I deleted it. The objection that people had to the article was that it did not establish the company's notability ('nn' stands for 'non-notable'). Was the article missing any information that would assert why the company was important? Flowerparty■ 00:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

It is just funny to me that I posted the article on 10 March, and it was nominated for deletion the next day??? I don't have anything that makes the chain especially notable, nor did I realize that an article had to be so notable. Seems to me any bit of information that expands knowledge would be welcome. Like I said earlier there are other defunct companies that are still listed that I do not see as anymore notable. Is it not policy to at least contact the author of an article to give them a chance to vote?Freddyboy 03:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

No, there's no obligation to notify the author, unfortunately, though it's usually polite to do so. If you add the pages you've started to your watchlist and check that you should see when other people have edited them. Deletion is a curious beast, really. There's no official threshold for what constitutes 'notable', and I'm sure there's plenty of stuff in the encyclopedia that's less worthy of inclusion than Segall and Sons. Generally a thing needs to have some verifiable significance outside of its own context to warrant an article. Have a look at WP:CORP#Criteria for companies and corporations - if it meets (or would have met) any of the criteria there, then there's a case for having an article. If not, there's plenty of other articles that need your attention! :) Flowerparty■ 05:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD on Molinology

Hi! Do you think there's evidence for a speedy keep on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Molinology? Obviously it's only been up for a while, but the result looks like it's going to be pretty clear-cut. --BillC 23:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infoboxes

Why are you removing images? This was discussed at the albums Project, and the consensus was to keep images. There's still indecision about which images, but that's another matter. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:49, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, it was actually at the village pump (there's a link at the end of the discussion at the Albums project) — but the discussion has been deleted. It'll take a while to track it down and resurrect it; I'll do that tomorrow. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peel category

Thanks for the comments - I did think about it for a while and decided on a capital S as they have almost become a proper noun with the release of so many 'Peel Session' albums etc. As you say it can be changed if people feel otherwise. Many of the bands/artists recorded are still quite obscure and don't have a Wikipedia article (and will probably stay obscure) - so it may never be complete but I thought I would have a go and people will add to it.

[edit] Copyedit request?

Hi Flowerparty, I was wondering if you would be interested in a grammatical look at one of my articles on WP:FAC? CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 23:43, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, sure. I had a brief look at it yesterday, actually, but was too tired to concentrate. Yeah, I'll have a go. Don't expect me to understand any of that technical mumbo jumbo, though. Flowerparty■ 23:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I need sleep. I'll have a proper look at it tomorrow. Flowerparty■ 02:37, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a little longer than I'd hoped it would be because people wanted more information about their favourite sections despite the fact that each section has its own article. :). Otherwise I hope this satisfies your concerns?[2] CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 03:51, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Flowerparty, I'm so sorry but I'm hoping you can have another look at it. Don't worry- just the history section. It's just that many edits have been made to it and I can't read it anymore without going insanely frustrated. Thanks a lot. 16:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll have a go later. It's ok to take a break from the article if it's getting too much, you know. Go and have a long cup of coffee, or something :) Flowerparty☀ 17:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FAC

Yeah, I was worried it might be a bit choppy. My style, as you might have noticed, is to write longer sentences, divided only based on what I feel flows. Not popular at this FAC, apparently. I was also worried about grammar, I just can't look at the thing closely anymore. And yes, the FAC is just dragging on. I wish they closed it the last time- I think, yesterday- so I guess I'll wait another week. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 07:58, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Snooker championship pages

Thanks for the compliments! It struck me when I was doing some editing while watching a match that it would be a good idea to document the knock-out progression. From there I did a little bit of experimenting to see if I could throw something together as a table, before deciding that it would be best to modify some of the world cup knock-out charts to create a snooker template. The rounds colours don't really have any significance; I just thought I would be nice to differentiate between each round in the heading! Hopefully in time I can get a good few of the other years filled in, the only problem being finding things out from years gone by isn't so easy. SFC9394 15:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah the colours do add a bit of life to the pages, but I don't hold any special attachment to them so please feel free to change the template if they are not making much sense (it is the type of thing that I arbitrarily just chose some colours to brighten when I was creating the template in my sandbox!). The only one that does make sense to keep is the gold for the final bar, which highlights it and makes sure that the user is more easily aware of its existence (also it has the gold = winner connotation). Nice work on the past winners page, I just dumped across the old table but it makes much more sense to have it all nicely laid out and have the all time league tables by person and country.

[edit] Infobox

Actually, like many people, I don't subst. the infobox — I copy it from article to article. That's largely because it's much easier most of the time, partly because it protects infoboxes from vandalism of the template, and partly because it's better for the servers if hundreds of thousands of articles aren't constantly calling on the template. Is there a reason for preferring the use of the the unsubst-ed template? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry not to have responded sooner; for some reason I missed your message, and I've only just spotted it. I hadn't known that the template is protected (I can imagine why), but is it permanent?

Probably because I've been using it so much, I find the subst-ed text easier, though it's also more flexible for those cases where the standard infobox makes unwarranted assumptions. I'll have to think about it, though — the issue is clearly not one-sided. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh right, no I think I must have overlooked the timestamps. I did notice that 2 people had endorsed its deletion though, and since the other one was unanimous it seemed reasonable to delete both.

Why was this page overwritten? We have multiple books by this author in our library, and were waiting on some kind soul to expand on the article. The fact he also teaches at a local school would mean you've deprived them of a small piece of fame by having a teacher on Wikipedia.

[edit] how to...

Hi Flowerparty,

you recently welcomed me to wikipedia and offered your help should I ever have any questions, and I want to thank you for that. And here is my first question: how do you delete an article? The article that imho should be deleted is "Distibution of terms" which exists only because of the missing 'r' in 'distribution'. An article with the correct spelling is already in existence, so I couldn't move it there.

Thanks very much --Arno Matthias 21:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Only administrators can delete things. I deleted that page so thanks for telling me about it, but if you find anything else which needs deleting, have a look at Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Flowerparty^☀ 22:56, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reader wanted

Hello Flowerparty,

thank you for deleting "Distibution of terms"!

Can I ask another favour of you? Since I am not a native speaker I fear (I'm sure in fact) that my contributions are not always in proper English. For example, I have just expanded the "Distribution of terms"-article - would you mind looking it over? Thanks very much again! --Arno Matthias 10:36, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Flowerparty,

thanks very much for the flowers (regarding my English)!

Articles (like my "distribution of terms") should, at least that's what I think, be helpful and comprehensible for people who are studying the subject, don't you agree? If someone has no interest in, say, logic they would not go there, and if they already know all about it, well, the same holds. --Arno Matthias 16:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Snooker request

As a member of WikiProject Snooker, it is requested that you watchlist at least the following pages:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker - if the project members do not pay attention to changes at the project page, especially its talk page, effective collaboration will be nearly impossible and the project would eventually fail.
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker/Wanted snooker bios - this is an important part of the project's to-do list.
• Snooker - our main article, frequently subject to vandalism and nonsense edits that (historically) have sometimes taken hours or even an entire day to be fixed
• Snooker season 2006/2007 - another important article
• Snooker world rankings 2006/2007 - another important article
• One or more player articles of your choice that you'd like to "adopt" as a guardian against vandalism, PoV-pushing, etc.

Keeping in touch with the rest of the team via the project pages, and keeping an occasional eye on core articles will go a long way to strengthening the project and protecting the articles. Thank you for your time and attention. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 03:05, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
