PullToOpen's Userpage - User Talk - User Contributions

Welcome to Novels WikiProject

Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often refered to as "Novels".

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject_Novels_announcements}} there.
While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox {{User WikiProject Novels}}.
The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 07:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, PullToOpen, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact our administrator general Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

House episodes

Hi, PullToOpen! I noticed that you've created and/or worked on lots of pages for episodes of House. (Good work, by the way!) I wanted to make you aware of the guideline at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television), that says that if the name of a TV episode isn't taken by anything else, there's no need to put a disambiguating phrase after it. So, since House vs God can refer only to the episode, that's where the episode should be. I've moved most of the ones I've found, but wanted to make sure you knew why I was doing it, and that you put future episode pages under the right titles. Best, —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for telling me about the policy on episode names! I wasn't aware of it before. I will keep it in mind for articles in the future. PullToOpən ^talk 22:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to be of service. (It's just a guideline, not a policy, but the difference is subtle.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! --Lambiam ^Talk 23:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Talk:Rocket Boys

May I ask why you have marked a talk page for deletion under speedy deletion? It is the talk page of a current article so there is no reason why it should be deleted (and the template you used: {{db-nonsense}}) is for Articles, not talk pages. If you think the talk page has no meaningfull content, (which I agree with) just go ahead and blank it. I severely doubt any damin will delete it. Viridae ^Talk 23:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. As it is a usless talk page, either leave it or blank it - there is no need to delete it. Articles use the different speedy deletion templates and talk pages that remain after the article has been deleted have {{db-talk}}. Viridae ^Talk 00:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism to Sicily (not by you!)

Hi, I reverted some of the vandalism by 165.234.100.2 too and I've left a VW template on his talk page telling him about the vandalism and the anti vandal bot has also warned him, thanks for your ant-vandalism help!

Northern Secondary School

That information on the Northern Secondary School I posted is 100% factual. There is a middle aged hall monitor called Batman (by both the staff and students) who roams the halls. He also is quite a big dick. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.102.234.76 (talk) 20:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

3O on Liverpool-Parramatta T-way

Can you please explain how the table violates WP:NOT#DIR. I don't find your explanation very helpful; I expected some detailed explanation. Is 3O not the place for that? JROBBO 03:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know about the 3RR - that's why I asked for this. There is no alternate table offsite, by the way. What do you suggest I do further to get this dispute sorted? Try on the talk page at WP:NOT? JROBBO 03:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. I'm sorry for being annoyed - I obviously didn't understand what WP:3O was. I'll pursue the WP:NOT option for the moment. JROBBO 03:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou.

I thank you for my barnstar! It is very much appreciated. It took me an hour and a half on and off to write that nomination, so I am delighted so many people are so pleased with it. Thankyou again, Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 14:22, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! No one is perfect, and a self-revert one minute later shows that it just slipped out and was not really intended. Best, Dar-Ape 03:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The New Way Forward

It may sound communist, but Bush already said it. I encourage you to reconsider your vote. MPS 21:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I wasn't being WP:COOL, was I? I guess I took it personally when you put (what I saw as) a perfectly good article up for AFD. Someday I am going to write a wikipedia essay on how demoralizing it is to new article creators when people are trigger happy with AFDing and CSDing stubs. You know and I know that this article is going to happen eventually. I would suggest that your time on wikipedia would be better spent eliminating actual propaganda than articles needing cleanup. IMHO, in the "old days" of wikipedia, people were more patient in letting articles gravitate towards goodness rather than nipping them in the stub. Peace, MPS 22:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SNP Tryst Branch

I saw the message you left on Forthsider's talk page about this. I was actually going to Afd it, as a regional branch of a political party isn't inhenertly notable, and the article didn't sway me from that opinion. However after some investigation you may have been incorrect in saying it was a copyvio. allexperts.com is also known as about.com, and is a listed Wikipedia mirror [1]. It doesn't seem to be a fully up-to-date mirror, it seems to mirror from somewhere around August 2006 or before. I had to go back to August 11 to find the corresponding spelling mistake ("bor") in the first sentence of this article [2], which is mirrored here [3]. As the page was actually a recreation [4] it's likely it was mirrored around August, so it wasn't a copyvio I don't think. Regards. One Night In Hackney 01:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No I was going to Afd it anyway, just didn't get round to it yesterday and I saw it had already been purged. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 01:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

JS script

Add this to your js and the below to your css file. Obviously this code is not designed to create a single tab, and thus is slow, and unwieldy. It provides an excellent base for expansion though. Prodego ^talk 01:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, I forgot to include the warn tab for diffs! You need this version instead. Sorry about that! Prodego ^talk 01:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: On Vandal fighting and editor reviews

I use a JavaScript based monobook tool for reverting and warning vandals (see this post for more details on it). As far as the editor review, I'm doing it for both reasons mostly. I was encouraged to submit an editor review by Nina, if you look at the post on my talk page. First and foremost an editor review would be good anyways considering that the community has often given me good advice in several cases. Also, Administrator Husond and a few other users have been interested in nominating me for adminship and I have agreed to oblidge a nomination by February. I truly appreciate your interest to submit detailed editor review for me :), please have at me! Thanks.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 01:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking the time to write up my editor review and getting to it so promptly! I appreciate the advice and will definitely take it to heart :). Well, I'll see what others have to say, see ya around.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 06:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of House Episodes

Thanks your finding and putting in all those dates. Keep up the good work, and we'll be a featured list in no time!
Blind man shady 01:35, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for leaving comments on my editor review. I agree it seems like I am ignoring advice but I am not. If you take a look at zimzalabim's old talk pages you will see I thanked him for giving me advice. Also I think it is fine to cut-and-paste things when it is just a introduction. I agree that you need to personaly talk to each person. Also I have been trying to get into editing articles on religion. I really can not do anything major but I am trying to do small edits. The reason for me "shooting down" J Di was because he was a little bit nasty by saying that he would block me if I kept on doing it. I accept advice if it is in a friendly manner. If you find any other areas where I can improve then tell me on my talk page. Peace. James, La gloria è a dio 00:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mkill problem

I am requesting Mkill is banned from ever touching marciano page, I am requesting ((you tell him) NEVER to leave any messages on my talk page, I do not want to listen to him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cbrown1023#Problem_reply http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cbrown1023&diff=prev&oldid=102725043 There is most of the explanation, you can go on my talk page. Mkill had problems with many users before, some time ago somebody contacted me to watch over marciano page, so I am doing that, to mkil, everything is vandalism, I simply do not have any more time to reply to his every argument, he has time so he can put things together and it looks good, but it's not right, my current boxingwear version should be ok. There is no redundant info, if there is, he simply kills everything else, i wonder if mkil goes for marciano killer, he also uses 58.8 ip to get his point across, when he has no point, switches off and logs on thru his ip, the guy is totally out of line. Boxingwear

Why did you make up your decision to block me for 3 days, when I was not even aware there was poll, how can you make decision without WAITINF FOR A reply, come on now man... I simply want to keep things nice and well, i mean, he provoked me towards this edit war, but i did not start it. Do you know rules, you must wait for other party to reply?! And just so you know, I will be gone tomorrow, for few days at least. But I am sure I did a good job. And then some. He was pulled into war edit, excuse me, be neutral here, will you?

With so many edits, I thought you are an administrator, i mean, you are what's the word synops, that's same? User_talk: BoxingWear
