User talk:Pedro

Back from a hiatus to find...

...a strange and unsettling development at Enigma's RfA. I've read the talk page, but I somehow feel I'm missing the big picture. Care to enlighten me in case I decide to weigh in? Also, despite that it's placed..err.."on hold'..are !votes allowed to be cast.. because I don't foresee my opinion changing. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 00:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind, it was protected anyway - and looks as though it maybe reopened. Sigh. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 00:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Circumflex redirect

Hi Pedro,

After having tried to reach a page titled Ṱ, I noticed that you have deleted all of the following redirects to Circumflex: Ḙ, Ḽ, and Ṱ. Why is that? Ḓ, which has a circumflex below, redirects there, as does Ṷ, too (plus lots of other characters with circumflex above). I think it's pretty common practice to redirect a character to the article on its diacritic, if nothing more specific is written on it. The reason why I did try to access Ṱ, was that - being unfamiliar with the character and seeing it being used in a linguistic transcription - I just copied the character in my browser's address field preceded by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ to find out what it is used for. Could you please restore the redirects back? Malhonen (talk) 11:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 Done You make a good point that a user might cut and paste from another document to find out about the character. Thank you. Pedro :  Chat  11:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Admin coaching

Hi. I'm interested in beginning admin coaching, and noticed you have a slot open. Would you be willing to start coaching me? I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding what I've done on enwp so far. Thanks! — Twinzor ^{Say hi!} 16:50, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Of course, all though I would warn that "coaching" has been seen to harm at RFA rather than help.....! In addition I'm not really into "go make twenty AFD contributions and I'll review" kind of coaching - more an informal discussion forum to review actions, for you to ask questions and really find your own feet with the odd bit of gentle guidance or input. If you're after something expansive or task based I'm not the guy. If you're hoping that it will increase your chances at RFA I'm also not the guy. But if you like the sound of a useful page to monitor and review your actions, where I can ask a few questions and where I can point you to the few bits you do need to know then I'm up for it. Let me know. Pedro :  Chat  18:54, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

This is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm not looking for a strict program to follow, but rather some helpfull pointers on what to pay attention to, get some feedback, and a place to ask questions or help when needed. All in all, what you're proposing sounds perfect. — Twinzor ^{Say hi!} 19:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Pedro's coaching style is one that I respect and thinks works...---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloonCSD Survey Results 19:14, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Balloonman, that's not even a sentence it isn't. (oh, and Hi pedro!) Keeper | 76 19:16, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Keeper, ilu. لennavecia 20:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

That makes one of us :P ---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloonCSD Survey Results 20:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Ah see, that was the problem all along! You were talking with your tongue sticking out in the shape of a capital P. Explains everything. And don't worry B-man, iljv/ll. :-) Keeper | 76 20:25, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

(and by the way, your "correction" above is still grammatically uncorrect. Keeper | 76 20:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:-P ---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloonCSD Survey Results 21:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and Twinzor, I should point out that the odd interjection from Talk Page Stalkers is possible ....... :). I'll set up a page for us. Pedro :  Chat  07:38, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Page created at User:Pedro/Twinzor Pedro :  Chat  09:58, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Gah, was just about to get that. :-) I was using the undo button though. Thanks for your help. — RyanCross (talk) 10:54, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

It staggers me that no huggler beat me to it :) Pedro :  Chat  11:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Heh, I was never really a fan of huggle. Actually, I was never really a fan of any automated tool. Well, I do use Twinkle, but only for RFPP reporting really. Other than that, I only use rollback and undo. That simple. :-) Again, thanks for your edit. — RyanCross (talk) 11:36, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Contribution about OB10

Hi,

The article on OB10 that was deleted in April 2008 has been re-written. Can you please advise on what can be done to create the page again? --OB10marketing (talk) 14:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I've uploaded a pfd with the new copy.

Thanks for the hard work. Sorry to keep filling it up. --Chasingsol^(talk) 09:30, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Pedro! You have deleted the article in the past. Thought you may want to know that it has been recreated and to take a look at its current state of affairs. Best regards, gidonb (talk) 15:02, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up - I'll take a look. Pedro :  Chat  15:09, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

No problems here - it was uncontroversial WP:CSD#G7 deletion last time and with the books and refs notability is asserted here - could do with a tidy up I admit. Pedro :  Chat  15:14, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

You are most welcome. Thank you for giving the article an extra look! Best, gidonb (talk) 20:26, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Oops

Temporary lapse in judgment. Happens to the best of us :).- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 21:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Could you review my question I left on CRG's RFA | here

This has to be terribly discouraging for CRG to read some of those oppose voters' reasoning. I haven't checked to see how you voted on him, but its a sad RFA. Its almost like the oppose voters are hazing him. I don't need but 5 minutes of your time, just 3 quick easy answers. Thanks Sentriclecub (talk) 06:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
