User talk:Extraordinary

Welcome! Bienvenue! Willkommen!

Greetings Extraordinary, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Please don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =) Gryffindor 12:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request

This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 22:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

That was an ideal job for a bot. It's done now. Feel free to move it to "done". --Russ (talk) 17:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

I appreciate the link clean-up you did at Independent Women's Forum. I've spent a lot of time working on that article, but I never culled all the garbage from those internal links that I copied and pasted. Cheers, DickClarkMises 20:15, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Clapham

I have no particular bone to pick on this one, but I would have thought that the ability for the public to descend Gaping Gill on the winch is still a local amenity worth mentioning - whether or not it's organised by the Cave Rescue Organisation. It does attract many people to the village.

I would like to see the sentence reinstated. Langcliffe (talk) 15:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Responded on Langcliffe's talk page. extraordinary (talk) 09:08, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Extraordinary. I didn't put the comment on the Clapham page, as I have recently upset someone who felt that they "owned" a page, and did not welcome suggestions. I have updated the page, but the winch meet in the context of a visit to Ingleborough Show Cave. I haven't put in links to the caving club winch meets, as they are currently on the Gaping Gill page, and I'm not too keen on duplicated data which can readily change.

Image:Pomodorovaticansphere.jpg nominated for speedy deletion

The Vatican generally uses Italian laws. This artwork is copyrighted by sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro, and this picture must be deleted unless Arnaldo Pomodoro gives a permission to use it.

Flatpack (electronics)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Flatpack (electronics), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Flat pack. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

See talk on the Flatpack (electronics) page. Was doing some redirect tidying... extraordinary (talk) 18:46, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jinny

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

The notability hasn't been established since May....

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. PorkHeart (talk) 10:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi, i'm blocked from editing when i'm in my office. I get the following message when try to edit the sandbox - "95.131.110.104 has been disabled by ProcseeBot". It says it's because of an "Open Proxy". I've no idea what this means! But presumably it's been blocked due to abuse from other who share this same IP (it's a big building)? Are you able to remove me from this block so i can still edit wikipedia? If this is something technical i need to discuss with my IT department can you let me know the details so i can pass it on? Thanks

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
