Morgon (character)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Morgon (character), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Morgon. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 07:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Morgon and pasted it into Morgon (character). This is what we call a cut and paste move, and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming articles is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In two days, you will be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. --Oxymoron⁸³ 21:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Alsace grape designations and vineyard names

Hello Kintaro, and welcome on board. I just noticed that you had included many additional entries for Alsace in the list of List of Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée wines a week ago. As it happens, there are exactly three wine AOCs for the Alsace region: Alsace AOC, Alsace Grand Cru AOC and Crémant d'Alsace AOC. All the other are varietal designations or vineyard names (lieux dits) which do not constitute separate AOCs (as e.g. Burgundy's Grand Crus do). Because certain Germanic-influenced labelling/naming practices in Alsace are a little different than in many other French regions (although they all differ from another in some respects...), I assure you that you're not the first one to erroneously believe this. However, I explained this state of affairs on the article's talk page before I cleaned it up some months ago, and I assume that you didn't read that page before you made your changes? :-)
I believe there are actually many things that could be done to update the list (which I suspect to be far from perfect at present) and it would be great if you have the time and patience to do this - but please do check changes (both additions and deletions) against INAO's database on appellation rules [1] to make sure that everything gets correct (including spelling, which I don't always get correct myself). Each AOC has a document of its own at INAO, or shares a document with other AOCs in such a way that all AOC names appear in the title of the document. Things only appearing in the body of the doucument (vineyards, varieties, colors, sweetness levels...) are "designations" of various sorts, not separate AOCs.
By the way, if you're planning on spending a lot of time editing wine-related articles, you could consider joining WP:WINE. Tomas e (talk) 15:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Having looked more carefully into your AOC list edits I must ask what you were doing? It looks like you mainly reverted to an older version of the artice which contained a lot of French language terms (vin, vignoble etc.) and frwiki naming conversions, which broke a lot of wikilinks, i.e. gave us redlinks. To me, that is vandalism (perhaps unintended), so I reverted the article to an earlier version. I'm curious what you thought that you were doing to the article with this edit? Please remember that you're editing enwiki! Tomas e (talk) 22:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Please remove the entire section on the talk page. It has no purpose and is very confusing. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 19:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I see you've been adding a lot of hatnotes. I've reverted them because tehy are not needed. Please see Wikipedia:Hatnote, and in particular WP:NAMB. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 03:18, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Ars Magica

Hi. You had indicated [2] that you would work on creating the Ars Magica (Nerea Riesco novel) by translating the Spanish wikipedia article. Any progress on that? -- Whpq (talk) 17:12, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

It's taking more time than I expected, but I'm working on it, yes. Anyway I said I was going to start this weekend, not that the work would be finished so soon... regards. Kintaro-san (talk) 21:43, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

No problems. I've taken the liberty of creating Ars Magica (Nerea Riesco novel) as a stub so that Ars Magica (disambiguation) won't be a list of redlinks which might cause it to become targeted for deletion. Please feel free to replace the stub in its entirety when you translate the Spanish wikipedia article. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 22:08, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

You've done well, Whpq, thank you so much. Kintaro-san (talk) 22:14, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Your rename request

Hi there. If you really hold the username "Kintaro" on those wikis as you claim, we can solve this very easily: Just use es:Especial:MergeAccount on the Spanish Wikipedia to unify your accounts. Once you have done so, you can use WP:CHU/SUL on this project to request a quick and easy usurpation of the existing "Kintaro" without any troubles. Regards SoWhy 13:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Could you make the edit you made here about the merge of the accounts somewhere on the Spanish Wikipedia instead (using "Kintaro" as your username) and then post that diff to your rename request? I am sorry for the additional complications but it is to make sure that you really control both accounts. Regards SoWhy 22:08, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Request for help with Catalan roleplaying game book information

I noticed that you helped add artists to the RPG project list. I also noticed that you have a Catalan wiki account according to your user page. If it is not too much trouble, would you help expand the entry for Tibet: The Roleplaying Game? It was translated into Catalan and I did add a reference to that book but it would be nice to have a link to Catalan language references to help establish notability. Thanks! Vampyrecat (talk) 05:14, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the help. I didn't realize that it had been translated into Spanish as well. Also, I had hoped to add the name of the translator to the citations, so thanks for finding that. Vampyrecat (talk) 00:16, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Frontier Six-Shooter

A tag has been placed on Frontier Six-Shooter, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Admin help

{{adminhelp}}

What's your question? - KrakatoaKatie 22:54, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'm not a developer of the software, so I have two suggestions: the MediaWiki software's home is at MediaWiki.org, and there's m:Help:Contents for the MediaWiki software at meta.wikimedia.org. I'm sure someone there can help you. Thanks for the message. :-) KrakatoaKatie 23:22, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Of course you're not bothering me! That's what I'm here for. :-) I just wish I could answer your question. Admins don't necessarily know the tech details of the software - in fact, I'll bet most of us don't.

Hmm... well, WP:VPT probably wouldn't be the place to ask your actual question, but that's where a lot of the developers and programmers hang out. Why not try asking one of them your question, on their user talk page? At least they may be able to steer you in the right direction better than I. - KrakatoaKatie 00:27, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh, good - I'm glad I was able to help a little, 'cause I was afraid I wasn't much help at all and I really hate not being of any help. Let me know how it goes! :-) - KrakatoaKatie 21:40, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Yay! Have a great Christmas and a very happy new year! :-D - KrakatoaKatie 04:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Overlinking

Hi Kintaro, thanks for all the excellent work you are doing on scuba-related articles. I hope you don't mind if I point out a difference in practice between French and English Wikipedias: although it is common in the French Wikipedia to link almost any word that is linkable, in the English Wikipedia only "high-value" links are encouraged. There's a section at Wp:Manual of Style/Linking#What generally should not be linked that lists links that generally should not be made. For example, anyone reading Timeline of diving technology is unlikely to find anything of relevance by following a link to an article like England, so we wouldn't make that link in those circumstances. --RexxS (talk) 16:01, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nick Ryan (director)

The article Nick Ryan (director) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Only has done four short films. Fails WP:FILMMAKER

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
