[edit] Your ER

Hello, I had to archive your ER due to your inactivity and the inactivity on that page. Don't hesitate to open another in the future.--Truco 02:46, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hi FingersonRoids. I noticed that you are a member of the Guild of Copyeditors. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at my latest FAC, the Han Dynasty. The prose needs to be improved a bit, especially in regards to long sentences that need to be broken up into two or three. If you have any spare time to copyedit the article, it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.--Pericles of AthensTalk 02:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] UAA

Hi - thanks for your comments at UAA. Just a quick note - there is no requirement for the alleged promotional username to be "blatant". That word is not mentioned in WP:U. There are two known facts about this user: 1) it is a name of a group/club, and 2) it was promoting it's own group on a page with the same name. It seems pretty clear that violates policy. Regards, JCutter (talk) 03:55, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Raw Signature

Also just a friendly note that your raw signature doesn't include a talk link. I don't know if they are required, but it seems pretty common to include them when customizing. Regards, JCutter (talk) 03:59, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re:AfC

Alright, thanks for the heads up :) CanadianNine 01:41, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, where can you find page protection articles? Ie. to find the protecting admin/reasons for original protection. Thanks, CanadianNine 01:47, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] KQJZ issues

I've overhauled the KQJZ article recently created at AfC because, as it stood, it was little more than a poorly-patched copy of the KIBG article with most of the infobox data and all of the history copied verbatim. This meant that even the most basic things were wrong, including the FCC database link since this is an AM radio station and the template was for FM station data. I've already left a note with the IP "author" of the first version of the article. - Dravecky (talk) 17:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Not my name, just giving credit for who actually wrote it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Communism123 (talk • contribs) 22:25, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

She helped create and design the "Forreston History Book", a 400+ page book on Forreston, and yes, I do personally know her as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Communism123 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Kolaid page

The page creation was vandalism, except the vandal misspelled "Koolaid" (Koolaid redirecting to Urine). As far as I know there is no word "kolaid" in any language, certainly not in English. The same editor is mostly a vandal-only account. I think it should be deleted. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 03:01, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm really not getting your point. Why should someone who is looking for Koolaid be redirected to urine? Koolaid has nothing to do with urine except in the mind of a vandal. As a secondary argument, I don't think the manufacturers of Koolaid would appreciate the redirect to urine. If I had had a beverage company that redirected to urine on Wikipedia, I would invite Wikiepedia to take the matter up with my libel attorney. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 03:08, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
OK, my apologies. I misunderstood and thought you were reverting to a urine redirect. That's what I get for not reading carefully. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 03:13, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit request

Hi. I saw your name at the GOCE, and was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at an article. Ralph Bakshi is currently listed over at FAC, and reviewers have suggested that the prose needs work. Could you help out? Thanks in advance. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 17:49, 15 May 2009 (UTC))

[edit] Your edits

After taking some time to look over your edits, I'm impressed. Keep up the good work. I especially like things like this (and the talks that came beforehand) and the cluefulness of this. Also, keep up the good work with the edit summaries. Your vandal fighting is good; keep up with the warnings. Also, this didn't hurt either. ;-) Again, you may want to consider an editor review. They are much better at reviewing now than they used to be. wadester16 | Talk→ 20:25, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Moth genera articles

Hi, I noticed that you're creating a good number of moth genera stubs. The problem is, they seem to be devoid of references. Do you plan on adding them? Or are you just leaving them as is? Regards, ƒingersonRoids 23:06, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Technically, since they're only stubs, they don't require references, although I do intend on adding them if/when I add more content.   JJ (talk) 23:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Really? I have to say I've never run across that policy. Can you point me to it? Thanks, ƒingersonRoids 23:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Don't know if there is one one way or the other- it's more of an "unwritten rule" IIRC. (not everything is written in a clear-cut policy...) However, feel free to prove me wrong if you find a link somewhere- I'll go back and add refs if need be. It just never seemed to be a problem in the past.   JJ (talk) 23:22, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, I'd have to say the first sentence of WP:SOURCES pretty much says that there should be references. ƒingersonRoids 23:36, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Hmm? Howso? Keep in mind these are one-sentence stubs meant as almost placeholders for articles to be written at some point, not entire articles in themselves... if I were to add any more content, then yes, I would add refs. With the current lack of anything that should referenced at the moment, though, I still don't see anything to convince me why I should reference the stubs thus far... hope I said that all correctly, it got a bit confusing. :)   JJ (talk) 23:57, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, it's not really a big deal, since there's no material in there that would be disputed and probably nothing that's factually wrong, unless you made a mistake on the whole article, which I doubt would happen. I guess I'm just saying that it would be nice if you put refs up to show that the genera actually exist, something like what is expected for articles on towns or cities.ƒingersonRoids 00:06, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Ah, OK, I see what you mean now. :) But yeah, I'll see if I can incorporate some additional info with refs when I create those in the future.   JJ (talk) 00:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Criteria for Proposed Task Force

How do we know what the criteria is for a proposed task force to become a new task force ? --InnocentsAbroad2 (talk) 00:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Anybot's mess

[2] You identified errors early on, but the bot owner did not correct them and the community ignored you. Good work for noticing what was wrong, and for continuing to try to correct it. I think the barnstar is supposed to be posted on your discussion page then moved to your user page, you probably know better than I.

I'm sorry you are dealing with a family emergency right now and may not see this. If people had listened to you, this whole mess could have been averted or at least minimized. --69.226.103.13 (talk) 17:51, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar is awarded to User:FingersOnRoids, who has first noticed serious problems with bot-generated algae articles and attempted to work with the bot owner and the community to fix the problems early on. Thank you for your contributions to an accurate and reliable encyclopedia. 69.226.103.13 (talk) 17:51, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! I thought I was alone on trying to fix them, and I finally gave up, a while ago. It's nice to know other people noticed the errors and tried to fix the articles, though the sheer amount of articles with errors is astounding.FingersOnRoids 10:40, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism hunting

The link was for a high school reunion apprently. But since its been broken for two years and no one has fixed it and the page no longer exists and has been left in its present shape, Its hard to tell wether the website was spam or not. I think the contributer didnt intend on it being vandlaism as some of the other material that he added was valid but it still was embedded. Feel free to remove it, i think you had a good eye for tracing it back so far ;) Ottawa4ever (talk) 16:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New page User:Floropolou

Hello!


I was asking the question about creating a new page named CITY College, International Faculty of University of Sheffield. Many thanks for your help and quick answer. I am sorry because I obviously misunderstood how article should look like. As far as I understood now it should be more neutral with basic information. Can I please rewrite the article and then send it to you to tell me if the content is appropriate? I will start working on the text now and as soon and it is done, I will send it to you. I hope that you can help me. Many thanks so far and in advance. Best regards, Floropoulou. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Floropoulou (talk • contribs) 09:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I think it'd be better if you submitted it at articles for creation. Doing so would give the article a much better chance of surviving, because you would get more input from different editors, while if you only sent it to me, you would only get my opinion. Regards, Fingerz 02:04, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fedcap Rehabilitation Services

Hiya,

You asked me a couple of weeks ago why I'd declined an AFC for this; the version I reviewed here was a copyvio, and hence (on that page) the info has now been blanked.

[edit] DYK for Fedcap Rehabilitation Services

Updated DYK query On July 8, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Fedcap Rehabilitation Services, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Correcting redirect

Did you make this edit based on knowledge of the algae or were you merely correcting the bot's misplacement of the redirect? If you know something about the algal genera concerned and want the redirect to remain, please do nothing. However, if your correction was only of coding, please request the redirect be deleted by copying and pasting this line:

* <s>[[:Microglena]]: (1 edits, 1 major, +279) <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=272296379 (+279)]'''</span></s> '''delete'''

[edit] Re: Journal of Cheminformatics

In its current form, merging sort of makes sense, I guess... the merger did loose some information, such as ISSN and feed URL... I liked the split set up, as the info box information is available as RDF via the DBPedia project... about independent info about the journal, that is pretty scarce indeed... I'm not affiliated with the journal, and wrote a critical note about it in my blog [4]... would that qualify as independent? and the fact that I would add that to WP myself is no problem?

Hi! I just had to delete it again; it was yet another copyvio by the user who originally posted the article, one User:Stevensclan.

[edit] Grab some glory, and a barnstar

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 14:46, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

[edit] You are now a Reviewer

Redaktor Wikipedia 600px.png

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:20, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Paramathasara

Hey! I noticed you removed my speedy deletion. You said "There's context there". Yeah, that's true, but there's not enough, nor is it real. (I looked it up, I got nothing that has to do with that.) So are you okay that I go ahead and add it back? Thanks for helping! :) Endofskull (talk) 22:06, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

One last thing. I'm about to archive my talk page, because it's getting kind of long. So don't think I'm just ignoring you. My reply was "Oh, I understand now. I never knew that. Alright, thanks for the notification!" Again, thanks so much for notifying me on that! Endofskull (talk) 22:11, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
It doesn't have enough context? I believe that the first few words in the article,"Paramarthasara" is a sanskrit word", make the subject of the article very clear. Regardless of whether the definition is correct or not, or whether the word even exists, the article doesn't fit under A1. However, feel free to PROD it if you like for not having correct information, or adding the correct information yourself. I don't believe that the article fits under any other CSD.

[edit] Proposed deletion of Holly wain

Ambox warning yellow.svg

The article Holly wain has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable model, fails WP-BIO

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Paste Let’s have a chat. 17:27, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

See agonist. Sure is weird to see a common-language word like "antagonist" with its negation prefix removed. DMacks (talk) 03:48, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
