Problems with neutrality of article

Hi! You helped me out twice before and I thought that you could again. If you have other things to do I won't bother you again.

I objected to the article 'Persian people' because it was biased, unfair and Contained factually wrong statements. You told me to share my concerns on the discussion page of the article and include a token that stated that the neutrality of the article was disputed. I have done all of that, where do I go from here? How can I get the article deleted and replaced with the correct one that was in place before they change it?

Thanks agains

Question

What script is this?--Truco 15:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

That looks like it was from User:Plastikspork/monobook.js/script.js using the 'Spork: WS/Repair' button. Plastikspork (talk) 16:47, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Yep, that's exactly it. Thanks! –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh okay, thanks.--Truco 17:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

But how do you run it?--Truco 17:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

You paste importScript('User:Plastikspork/monobook.js/script.js'); into your User:Truco/monobook.js, and it will show up as a bunch of Spork buttons in your 'toolbox' on the left side of the screen when you are editing a page. I can explain more about how it works, but basically it runs a bunch of regular expression search/replace strings then shows you the diff. Plastikspork (talk) 20:36, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Plastikspork, does this work instead of, or beside Lightmouse's script? Matthewedwards :  Chat  06:04, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Adminship question

I generally would have asked this question to Tiptoety, but since you are online, I want to ask you whether you think I will be a good candidate for adminship or not. Yes, I am a relatively new user (only four months), but I have been editing WP since August last. Please check my contribs and tell me whether I will be a good candidate for adminship and what areas to improve in. Pmlinediter (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Please can you tell me approximately how many edits I require? Not an exact value, just an approximate. Thanks. Pmlinediter (talk) 14:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! Pmlinediter (talk) 14:54, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Question

Hi Juliancolton, I was just having a look at your current evidence. Can I suggest this edit for the RfR dispute over Jpoelma13? It shows the entire discussion that took place. Just a thought anyway, not a criticism over what you have provided. Thanks. Acalamari 17:12, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Email

Hello Julian. I was wondering if you'd considered what I emailed you about at all? Thanks. :) TheAE talk/sign 18:22, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Haha, okay. :) TheAE talk/sign 18:53, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I need help ASP

A user on Talk:Highway Requested a split for "Highway systems by country" and I Created a Sub-article (List of highway systems by country) and now User:Synchronism Reverted my edits 3 times. What do I do? All I was doing is trying to help this article out. Can you go back and Revert it back to my Edit and tell this user to stop. Thank you.--Michael (Talk) 03:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the Help. By the way, Do you like my new signature?--Michael (Talk) 03:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Ok, Time to get back to work on Category:Articles to be split.. See, what happens next. I hope that user doesn't follow me and revert my edits. I am keeping a eye on that User. I will let you know if something else comes up.--Michael (Talk) 04:23, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Since you're my admin coach/adopter...

...I only think it's fair for me to let you know about my editor review at Wikipedia:Editor review/Dylan620 (2). Cheers, Dylan620 _{Efforts · Toolbox} 15:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Queen Hyde Park AFD

I was curious about your closure of this AFD nomination. There were only a few votes, and you closed it as no consensus. However, it seems to me that it would have been more appropriate to have relisted the debate to get more input, not just close it because not enough people had contributed. Closing a debate as no consensus should only happen after the debate has been exhausted, but consensus has still not been reached. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 19:51, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

AdjustShift RfA

Thanks for your note. Obviously I guess it was closed while I was still reading diffs and looking through contributions. My apologies. Dean B (talk) 20:36, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:A/Projects

Thank you, very much! I was actually quite surprised with how fast that went. -- A ^talk/_contribs 21:00, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

RFA thanks

My RFA passed today at 61/5/4. Thanks for participating in my RFA. I appreciate all the comments I received and will endeavor to justify the trust the WP community has placed in me. Have a nice day. :-) AdjustShift (talk) 21:04, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

IRC

You left quickly from the IRC channel. I don't think the WPTC should be focusing so much of its time on articles that didn't affect anyone, and which nobody looks at. That time adds up, from GA reviews to endless discussion of whether they should exist! The storm are already being covered in the season articles, so usually there is hardly any new content in an additional article. I only think a very select type of article should not exist, which is tropical storms that did not affect land. Otherwise, I'm usually fair game :) --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:17, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I was going to write a long, rambling response, laden with uppercase bluelinks. Instead, I'll just point you to Titoxd's 3rd Law: "Telling others how to stop wasting their time is a good way to waste yours." :) –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

What about Slowking Man's law? - As a debate over user conduct or article content continues, the probability of one user accusing another of being a deletionist approaches one. I am a mergist, not a deletionist! :P --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:56, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Closed AfD.

You recently closed an AfD for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greece-Nepal relations. However, it seems the article was moved during the discussion itself to Greece–Nepal relations according to the history. Can you please take a look and confirm if this is above board and/or delete the article per the discussion (again)? Thank you. --BlueSquadronRaven 22:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Outline of knowledge project summary, and future direction

In response to a friend on Wikipedia who was wondering about how I've been and what I've been up to, I got to spewing about our little endeavor, and well, I got so carried away I pretty much told him everything.  :) The message turned out to be a pretty good summary of what we've accomplished so far and the overall plan.

See User talk:The Rambling Man#What's up?

Unneccesary SPI

Hi Julian. For the vandalism to Ned Scott, I created an SPI here, unaware that all parties had been blocked (without block notices on relevant talk pages). As such it is unneccesary and I'm not sure how to close it. As an admin, can you do so. Thanks. Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 03:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, another admin (PeterSymonds) closed it. Thanks anyway. Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 03:04, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Erick (2007)

I have nominated Tropical Storm Erick (2007) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 13:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

• I added 16 links. Parse them and add the info. There should be no problem now. Ottava Rima (talk) 18:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Question

Would this AfD qualify for a SNOW close? How does one judge when an AfD should be closed early? thanks, Enigma^msg 21:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of philosophical theories, the editor who created the nominated page mentioned that the material he used to create that list was previously AfD'd.

Therefore, the page is subject to speedy deletion (WP:G4).

Had I known this, I would have tagged it for speedy instead of nominating it for AfD. What should I do now? Withdraw the nom, and tag the article for speedy?

The Transhumanist    23:50, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, The Transhumanist, this discussion is different to the previous one. It also has differing opinions at present. Leaving this AfD to run its full course is best here. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 23:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

NPWatcher/Checkpage/Request

I was having a problem with adding my request for NPWatcher/Checkpage. I hope, I add my Request the right way now. I'm having a bad day. I am sorry about this--Michael (Talk) 23:55, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Nice pic

Looks like it was bright and sunny in the Empire state too - nice pic, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Kinzua Bridge

Glad you liked it. Being a meteorology major, I particularly enjoyed writing that section. --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 01:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Not me

I was home peering into my computer all day. It was Ruhrfisch and you who were photographing creeks. It looks like the leaves haven't come out yet along Jackson Creek. Brrrr! Finetooth (talk) 01:11, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's still pretty chilly up here, and the wind didn't help either. Ah well, Spring will hopefully arrive shortly. Anyway, good luck with Forest Park (Portland), which I see you've been working on! –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:15, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Yes. Based on my limited experience, I'd say that no two FACs are the same and that it's impossible to predict how they will go. Finetooth (talk) 01:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Quite true. I'll try to review the FAC within the next few days. Cheers, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Georgia (U.S. state)

It seems we had a protection conflict. I protected it for a week, you for a month (I believe). If you want to revert it back to a month or change it to something else I'm cool with that. Icestorm815 • Talk 03:47, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

My talk page protection

I have been notified of the request to have my talk page indef semi-protected. I would rely on more experienced editors' opinions on the necessity. Personally, I don't have a strong opinion either way. I do regret that frequent reverting of vandalism takes valuable time from volunteers' efforts (mine as well as others). I can see it's utility from that perspective. If page protection would cause more work, or if it would impair the efficiency of the project in some way, I would say don't worry about it. Let the good of the many rule. Tiderolls 04:47, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that should cut down on some busy work. You granted my rollback, so I'm sure you'd let me know if there was anything I should change in my approach. auf Wiedersehen Tiderolls 04:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Heads up...

I just assigned Robert Skyhawk 50 AWB tasks.

He might need your help.  :)

Contrexx

I'm not sure why the Contrexx article was deleted. The universal adaptability of Contrexx® is reflected by the fact that over 38’000 websites worldwide have already been produced. It's one of the most famous CMS Software in europe and is growing very fast.
