D.G.E. Hall article

Dear Tim, thanks for your offer of help with my article on D.G.E. Hall. I have to admit that I am completely new to writing and editing Wikipedia articles. I did try to study and follow all guidelines but it seems I am not getting it right. I believe the subject matter is of interest: D.G.E. Hall wrote the definitive history on SE Asia and was the leading authority on the region at the time when world focused on Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.

I realise I need a couple more references and will get them soon.

I have posted a photograph of D.G.E Hall to Wikimedia Commons, I now need to work out how to use this in the article.

Thanks very much for your offer of help. I greatly appreciate it.Chriseve (talk) 00:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I did some improvements to the article. Right now the article is unreferenced, other then the autobiography. I would suggest adding some more references. Other then that you shouldn't be worried (right now) about loosing your article. I am waiting for a response from the user who suggested the overhaul in the first place, Ill report back when I hear from him. Tim1357 (talk) 00:22, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I am very grateful. I will get a couple of other references.Chriseve (talk) 01:49, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I didn't have anything better to do, so i went ahead and fixed the article. Looks better now if I don't say myself. I used all your information, I just re-formatted it. Also, I added an infobox. Infoboxes are those nifty little things you see on the sides of articles. I think they add to the encyclopedia-ness of the article. Anyways, I added what information I saw on the article. Fill in any of the fields that you can find and reference (and its ok to leave some blank). Ask me any questions you want. --Tim1357 (talk) 00:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

About the edit war

Yes, I am participating in an edit war, I admit, but bear in mind that not only I but also is the IP 69.125.77.106 which is also participating in the edit war. I knew something about this would happen, but tell me not only to me, Tell the IP, which is not only in this war, but also insists that placing a redirection is invalid. I was explaining it but he just does not understand, so this edit war. I apologize for that, will not happen again. Archibald Leitch (talk) 02:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I warned the IP too. Tim1357 (talk) 02:41, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

(However, I agree with you, the name should have accent marks) Tim1357 (talk) 02:42, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Tim, I'm here because the IP is keeping with the edit war and puting the redirection again. Try to make him undertsnd please.Archibald Leitch (talk) 16:06, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Questionable Revert...

Hi Tim, can you help me? I made a change on the "Post Falls, Idaho" page, and your bot keeps reverting my change for "Andrew Seltice". My change is justified, because someone before me, has linked "Andrew Seltice" to "Jesus Christ". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.79.7.18 (talk • contribs)

 Done responded Tim1357 (talk) 19:05, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

GNUstep

I disagree with your revert on GNUstep. The link to EggPlant was in good faith, because developers are porting it from Mac OS X with the help of GNUstep (just see the GNUstep mailing list). --TMC1221 (talk) 02:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh really? I guess i need to read the style guideline on external links because it seemed kind of spammy. Then again, I hate external link sections (they all seem to me to be link dumps-sections). Also, it was listed as a spam link on WP:Wikiproject Spam. In any case, I did not assume bad faith, I just reverted it because It was not a very resourceful link (see www.testplant.com): it adds no information to the subject. But you are entitled to your opinion, and Iwill not contest you reverting my edit. Tim1357 (talk) 02:09, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Watching the watchmen

Thanks for keeping me honest. I just started using Huggle, and that bed red revert-and-warn button is hard to avoid. --SquidSK ^(1MC•log) 17:06, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I understand, I've done it too! Tim1357 (talk) 17:08, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Drayton Manor Theme Park

Just a note to say how impressed I am by the speed you reverted this vandalism. Jan1naD ^{(talk • contrib)} 21:05, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Tim1357 (talk) 21:09, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Adding Sources

Could you please explain to me how to add a source when editing an article?Cheddarjack (talk) 22:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Sure! To add cite something, put it between two <ref> tags. So that means, if you wanted to cite google.com, you would add <ref>google.com</ref>. Note the forward slash at the end of the second <ref> tag. The source will automaticaly be added to the Reference section of the article with a footnote. Good Luck!

Block Review Por Favor (moved from user talk:PhilKnight)

Hey ther PhilKnight,

I was wondering what the reason was behind the block on User:Cheddarjack. It seems that the last edits he/she made were legitimate. If you could, either un-block him/her or reply on my talk page. Thanks Tim1357 (talk) 22:32, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Tim, I blocked the account because it engaged in vandalism. I don't consider that asking a couple of questions makes any difference. PhilKnight (talk) 22:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes but were they not in god faith? The only vandalism like edits appear to be the ones saying that Disaster Movie Was the "worst movie.... He/she later defended that edit, citing the reception. If they were in good faith, then they were not deliberate attempts to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. . Tim1357 (talk) 22:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, take a look at the user's talk page, where there is an unblock request going on. Tim1357 (talk) 22:43, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Looking more closely, I agree, the only edit that is definitely wrong is the unsourced opinion. I've unblocked on that basis. PhilKnight (talk) 22:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I am going to help this user a long so that this doesn't happen again. Cheers! Tim1357 (talk) 22:49, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes I felt awful for reporting him -- since I based it all on that one edit and the multiple warnings on his page. After I reported him, I looked through his contributions, and seen a lot of box office (gross on films) changes on different films. I thought oh great, more reverting. But after I read through and seen that all of the edits were actually genuine, and I even seen that one he made on Disaster Movie and didn't think that was vandalism. He was just adding what another site had said (obviously he didn't/don't fully understand WP guidelines). So I understand why he got all those warnings, because it did appear he was vandalizing and we should have AGF (which can be difficult, I admit). I'm just glad PhilKnight got it sorted out in a timely fashion -- and lesson learned on my part.  :)

PS: Great job at reverting the IP vandalism on Ice-T, I was about to click roll it back, but you caught it. --Mike Allen ^{talk · contribs} 00:50, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

hello tim removeing all jatt clans from khatri clan its mainly in hindu no sarder or singh in khatri —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.125.152 (talk) 23:30, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

LCHS edit

I can see taking out the objective material, but why do a blanket deletion? Way to delete factual material in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.114.41 (talk) 23:13, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, yore right. My anti-vandalism software reverted all of it. In any case, the other removed content was not very neutral, feel free to add it back (this time without the objective material) Tim1357 (talk) 23:18, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

So you're not even reading what content you're removing, you just rely on a software program to do it? Great.98.244.114.41 (talk) 23:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Nope, i reverted the edit that said "cool guy" (or whatever it was) and the software reverted the previous one as well (assuming that it was un-constructive too). Like I said, feel free to re-add the section on wrestling. Ask any more questions you have here! Good Luck! Tim1357 (talk) 23:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I see, thanks for the quick replies 98.244.114.41 (talk) 23:33, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

No Problem Tim1357 (talk) 23:35, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

hi

Would you please indicate what I have vandalized. 152.3.249.70 (talk) 04:15, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh my gosh! Jesus that was a stupid mistake! Uh *slaps self on face* i am SOOO sorry. I am restoring all of your edits now. Hold tight, and please accept my most humble apology. Tim1357 (talk) 04:18, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done I still can't believe how dumb I am. Sorry Again! Tim1357 (talk) 04:26, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

And yelled at original contributor (the one who redirected to Sims 3) Tim1357 (talk) 04:37, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks bro. 152.3.249.37 (talk) 05:04, 17 November 2009 (UTC) (same person as 152.3.249.70, but not intentionally IP hopping)

Hey Tim

Hey Tim, remember the guy who kept removing content from the Mistabishi article? Its happened again Newportpriory's Talk page I was wondering If you was able to do something about it? Cheers Jayflux (talk) 16:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Gave him a friendly reminder. Tim1357 (talk) 22:42, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hello dear comrade. This same user has been creating multiple accounts and hasn't stopped hounding my edits or user page for the last 5 years. I don't know how to deal with this problem. His ip addresses are synonymous with 166.137.6.132, 166.137.8.158, 166.137.6.25, 166.137.9.58. All have a 166.137 denomination. He also uses other computers and runs around to annoy and instigate problems from different accounts. I've tried to avoid it entirely in the past, but what he does is put up afd (article for deletion) proposals on many of the articles I've worked on, or even deletes much of my information, or just plain vandalizes my user and talk page. I don't know why this person does this, but is there a way to block this person entirely from editing in a way that we can avoid this problem entirely. He instigates me to revert his vandalism and I've been blocked before for breaking the 3rr rule on numerous articles; where I've reverted his madness over 3 times; and that's resulted in my being blocked before. I seriously want to avoid that dilemma, so I'm hoping my asking for help doesn't fall on deaf ears. There has to be a way to stop this person from vandalizing and adding nonsense and gibberish on my user and talk pages. I appreciate any and all help I can receive. - Zarbon (talk) 14:40, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

So, I will try to address all of your concerns. You have the right to remove the AFD templates, so you are right there. However, IP socks are a bit iffy. Sometimes IP addresses change, due to the ISP. I suggest that you bring this up at WP:AN/I. They are a bit better at these complex conflicts. In fact, Ill do that for you, however I am not going to side with anyone, and whatever happens will happen. Ill send you the link when I've finished. Tim1357 (talk) 04:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, seems like he is already blocked, and cannot create any more accounts. Tell me if you have any more problems! Tim1357 (talk) 04:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Top of the morning!

Listen to me, keep an eye on Brendan Filone. there is some heavy vandalism going on there. I have reverted a IP of Zarbon (yeah, the guy above). Until we meet again... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord Freeza (talk • contribs) 15:29, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

This user Lord Freeza is yet another sockpuppet of the aforementioned ip addresses. He has been adding afd tags like I had warned prior; he is also the person responsible for having all the numerous sockpuppets. He has a long history of following my contributions and either vandalizing or reverting them, or adding afd tags. Please help me deal with this situation. I had hoped that he would have stopped this incessant vandalism and gibberish, but after 5 years, he's still an idiot and has continued the same moronic behavior. - Zarbon (talk) 16:13, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

SmackBot

You may not know that there is currently a discussion at WT:CITE about whether replacing duplicate footnotes with "named" footnotes should be required. That discussion needs to conclude before anyone can discuss the order of footnotes, because the use of named footnotes is the only way to cause footnotes to appear out of numerical order in the first place. I do agree that, once the issue of named footnotes is resolved, the issue of numerical order should also be addressed. WP:CITE is the appropriate page to discuss requirements on formatting of references. — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Biosynthesis of nonproteinogenic amino acid (SVG).svg

A tag has been placed on File:Biosynthesis of nonproteinogenic amino acid (SVG).svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

• Please avoid generating images using a tracing utility and uploading them straight to Wikipedia. Firstly, the image you uploaded mentioned above contained a linked raster graphic and so couldn't be rendered by the Wikimedia server. Secondly, the image you uploaded over the corresponding PNG file was in SVG format - the file type has to correspond with the file extension of the file on the server, otherwise things get very messy (and broken). Thirdly, images that are generated by tracing tools are in general lower quality than the original raster graphics - particularly if the originals contain text, lines, and antialiasing (the antialiasing results in multiple shapes being created; the lines result in splodges, and the text is converted to loosely-similar shapes rather than SVG text - all of which were evident in the image you uploaded). If you are interested in learning to create or convert SVG illustrations for Wikipedia, I suggest you ask at the Graphic Lab for some advice. Stannered (talk) 20:43, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
