Wow, do your homework before you censor! I wrote none of the content for Jill Farren Phelps. I was simply mopping up horrifying sentence structure, serious grammar issues, and basic mechanics. You shut me down for biased POV? I actually added several "reportedly," etc. You restored an earlier version (original) that is more biased than my many edits for clarity and readability. If you have a problem with the article, shut the fucker down, but don't revert back to the unreadable entries prior to my edits. I was just having some fun with re-writes. I don't even watch soaps. I happened across this horrendous display of quasi-literacy and wanted to give it some shine. And then you had to come along, raise your skirt, and piss all over it. |

Next time you do that, check the edits a little more carefully. |

![]() | An editor thinks something might be wrong with this page. That editor can't be arsed to fix it, but can rest assured that they've done their encyclopaedic duty by sticking on a tag. Please allow this tag to languish indefinitely at the top of the page, since nobody knows exactly what the tagging editor was worked up about. |
![]() | Another editor has tagged the above infobox for deletion. It is not clear why he has done so, but he has his reasons. Please carefully review the above infobox, but please do not delete it without first counting to a googol and only then with reasons related to frogs. |

Hello
Chzz, I had not made any edits because i was catching up on Wikipedia policies. Is it ok if I copy and paste an article I have been working on in a subpage of yours so you can take a quick look at it before I publish it. Cheers. mauchoeagle 20:26, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, sure - but you're probably best putting it in your own userspace - so, maybe User:MauchoEagle/draft? Cheers, Chzz ► 20:27, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- OK, should be there. Mind taking a look for me. I have been reading policy an the references I have meet guidelines, eh. mauchoeagle 20:35, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Pretty good; a few comments;
- It would be better to add a couple more references, if possible. I generally suggest a minimum of three, to avoid notability issues. Maybe a few facts from newspapers? Google news archives might turn something up with a bit of a search, e.g. [1] (ie looking through, or using more creative search terms) - or, are there offline newspaper sources that mention him?
- Instead of;
- ...is a [[Canada|Canadian]] politician...
- ...I suggest,
- ...is a [[Politics of Canada|Canadian politician]]...
- Because 'Canada' is considered a very common term, and the link to politics seems more appropriate and exact for the subject.
- You don't need Mayor of Victoria, British Columbia in 'see also', because it is linked in the text
- It would be nice to add Template:Persondata, and maybe an template:infobox person.
- Hope that helps :-) Chzz ► 20:49, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Is there any website that you can think of that has good references. mauchoeagle 21:05, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Robert Cross (mayor) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- I see that the article is now live, as Robert Cross (mayor). Articles can improve over time; references do not have to be websites - in fact, often the best references are newspaper articles or books. I do not know any specific sources for articles about this person - as I said, I suggest searching Google News archives, or maybe looking to offline news sources. Best of look, Chzz ► 15:15, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Sandbox on Outreach wiki
Hi Chzz, can you set up the Sandbox header bot on outreachwiki so it replaces http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:Sandbox with {{Sandbox header/en}} <!-- Please leave this line alone! -->
every 24 hours and, if it's been removed, buts it back on every 5 minutes, please? Thanks in advance, Rock drum Ba-dumCrash 20:19, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, should be fine; as discussed, I'm improving the bot code - hopefully within the next few days - and then I can make that happen. Cheers, Chzz ► 20:26, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Re PEPID
Copyright permission was sent over and I requested that my user name be changed. How long does this process generall take? Below is a copy of our original correspondance and below that is a copy of email corespondace regarding the copyright permission;
- copyright problems
Copied over from User_talk:The_Earwig#copyright_problems [2]
The content that is said to infringe on a copyright, is in fact owned by us, it is also cited back to our website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awilliamspepid (talk • contribs) 16:34, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- (noting that a live article, PEPID Knowledge Base, now exists)
- Awilliamspepid, hello.
- Firstly - you need to change your user name. User names shouldn't be company, group, or anything like that - so, please head over to WP:CHU/SIMPLE
- You really need to do that immediately - request a change of name. Otherwise, your account may be blocked.
- Secondly, if you want to use the material from the website "pepidknowledgebase.com", then you'd need to give explicit permission - because, on that webpage, it says "Copyright © 2011 PEPID, LLC". If you want to give permission allowing anyone (including Wikipedia) to use it, then you'd need to declare that.
- To do so, please see WP:DCM#Granting us permission to copy material already online.
- Thirdly, you really need to read WP:BFAQ.
- If you need any more help, just ask. You can contact me on my own user talk page, which is User talk:Chzz.
- Cheers, Chzz ► 22:14, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

The first was just blanked, as in it had its content removed. I undid that and placed a label indicating permission has been received. The article should be reviewed shortly. The other actually was deleted, but I have put in a request for it to be restored. I put a notice on the article's talk page noting that permission has been received.
Sincerely,
Aaron Adrignola

- There's a problem with your name change request - because there is already a user called "Awilliams". So please go to Wikipedia:Changing_username/Simple#Awilliamspepid → Awilliams the request page, and respond underneath your request, telling them what you want to do.
- You could 'take over' (WP:USURP) "Awilliams" if you wanted, because it has not been used.
- Or you could just pick something else, e.g. "A.williams", "A.Williams", or any random nickname.
- You can check if names are used using this URL, and changing the actual name part on the end: http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Awilliams
- E.g. http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=A.williams (shows that there is no such user)
- However, you may want to choose a 'nickname' that is not your real name; as it says in the instructions,
- "Using your real name as a username may put you at risk of harassment."
- Once accepted, the change of name usually happens within days.
- Re. the draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/PEPID - the permission has been received and noted, and that is no longer a problem; however, the other issues noted on that page remain - that it is 'advert-like', and relies too much on primary sources instead of independent reliable sources (such as newspapers or books; but not PR)
- You can try to improve it, and when ready, there are instructions (in the coloured box at the top) on how to resubmit it.
- I really strongly recommend that you edit some other articles - something you do not have any conflict of interest with. You'd soon learn more about Wikipedia by doing so, which would help greatly with the difficult issue of writing about a company you are involved in. See User:Keegan/Butterfly.
- Best of luck, and please ask for help at any time. Chzz ► 19:29, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Henderson Street
Hi Chzz,
I know there is a way I should be linking this to an earlier discussion on your talk page but I couldn't seem to find anything when I searched history....hence another new entry -sorry! Just to say, thanks very much for getting the article sorted for Did You Know... That's brilliant, very exciting! Cheers! There's been so much activity on editing the page, I can hardly keep up with what's been going on! (BTW I think I can fix most of the stuff you had to take out by including better citations but I'll get them all organised and run it past you before I put stuff back). Thanks again Lisaseventyfive (talk) 22:04, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- The linking - it's absolutely fine. As you can see, my talk page gets very busy - so, apologies, but yes, I put the previous stuff in the 'archive'.
- Unfortunately, because I did that just 2 hours ago, the search at the top ('where has my message gone?' doesn't work (as of now - it will later). The servers seem to be a bit slow. But, it is in User talk:Chzz/Archive 30.
- I'm glad you are pleased - and yes, it does sometimes get a bit hectic. The secret is, not to panic :-) The article might get more attention when featured - but that's generally a good thing, over all; it should become a better article for it.
- Feel free to ask me anything, but don't be afraid to be bold. Best, Chzz ► 22:18, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
two sides of the coin
Hi - your comment here is completely the opposite of your very vocal position throughout the pending trial discussion, "If it goes horribly wrong, we turn it back; no worries. The specifics - the process - will quickly develop, once we jump in to the idea. Change We Need. There is, I think, "general agreement" that something needs to happen; and we need to remember WP:BOLD" - here you don't even want specifics and claim the process will find its own path if we are bold - no worries indeed.
It appears your position is ignore all rules and be bold about things you support and what about the rules and don't be bold about things you don't support. Off2riorob (talk) 00:10, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not ignoring any rule at all; I'm just expressing which proposal I support - and I hope it gets consensus. Chzz ► 00:15, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I just think you should say openly and clearly that you do not support pending protection, without all the wikipedia rules comments, like the wheels will drop off if this and if that is not followed and we need specifics and clear guidelines, when on issues you support you comment to ignore all rules, and that guidelines are not required, just do it the wheels will not drop off. You have been actively vocal on this position against pending protection and to see you actively vocal in the exact opposite statements in regards something you support is difficult to understand - it appears what you support requires no guidelines and no specifics and so on and what you don't support must have guidelines and specifics.

Vandalism
The proper name of the river is Ganga and the official name of the Canal project is 'Ganga Canal'. Please stop vandalising the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heloworld321 (talk • contribs) 18:11, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- Hi there, and welcome. I've replied to this on the talk page of the article, which is the Talk:Ganges. It is you who are edit-warring, not others - because it was you who made the change. Whilst we encourage bold changes, when others disagree with you, it is necessary to stop, and discuss things. Thanks, Chzz ► 22:35, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
