Number of articles on English Wikipedia: 6,875,236

A barnstar for you!

	The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
	Thank you for deciding to unblock me , I am very greatful and i hope i will be able to improve and contribute to Wikipedia; however, What is happening about the "adoption" process? Goldblooded (talk) 21:21, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I usually skip the formalities and start the adoption/mentoring process once you said "I accept." So what are the main articles you tend to work on? User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 21:25, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could you tell me what exactly is a wikipedia adoption?

And of course ill be happy to work with you , I have a deep interest and passion in History , i am actually writing a biography about Pétain, i might actually go ahead and possibly get it published if all goes well.

Ive also made a dictionary of all the prominent politicians , generals and soldiers from the Axis powers in WW2. My area is modern history , 19th and 20th Centuries, paticulary European history and i also have an interest in politics (im a member of the conservative party) -Dont groan lol. Goldblooded (talk) 21:30, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then you will be in very good company. I am a history buff and I study politics as my university major. From what I experienced on Wikipedia (and I been here since 2004), adoption is where one older user decides to mentor another user when it comes to editing, answering overall questions about Wikipedia as a whole. While some mentors do just that, others become heavily involved with their mentorees and solve their overall editing disputes. There is no set guidelines or rules, but even if there were, I usually tend to ignore those things and do things my way. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 21:34, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. By the way is it possible to change the name of an article?

I was thinking of making a list of the people interview in the world at war tv series, although do you think it would be a notable enough article? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Goldblooded/Notable_people_interviewed_in_the_World_at_War Goldblooded (talk) 21:40, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning article titles, yes, we can change titles. See WP:MOVE for more details. Concerning your draft, our manual of style should be applied to it. After you do that, it might be ready for the article namespace.Jasper Deng (talk) 01:40, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Launch Away! (of sorts, at Talk: Senkaku Islands)

Pinnacle Islands currently is only a redirect to Senkaku Islands (and I mentioned it on the article talk page as well). - Penwhale | ^{dance in the air and follow his steps} 05:57, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Senkaku_Islands_-_admin_COI_intervention. You might be interested in THAT discussion, too. - Penwhale | ^{dance in the air and follow his steps} 07:24, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that. Mostly it is railing about you being Chinese dealing with this article leaving a POV tag in place. I personally have no problems with what was done (I am sure if I did someone, people would have cited my Japanese connections as a POV issue).

Template

Is there some kind of list of templates i can use for my user page? Goldblooded (talk) 11:05, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and also is there a way to see how many contributions you have made? Goldblooded (talk) 11:08, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To see your contributions, you can see them at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Goldblooded. To find this easily, go to the top of the page and see "My contributions" which is between "My watchlist" and "Log out." As for userpage templates, Wikipedia:Userbox.

For your research re: SI

If you want other examples of WP articles to see how we usually treat them, name-wise, the easiest place to look is Category:Disputed islands. I think you'll find that the Liancourt Rocks "compromise" is actually the exception, rather than the rule, of how we treat such islands. However, I haven't looked at all of them, so it's possible that my initial scanning impression is wrong. You may get more specific results through a systematic search.

This is what I was looking for, thank you. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 22:55, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Kremlin.ru

Could you plz restore old versions of template from deleted history for historic purposes? As it was made on Commons and in Ru-wiki. Alex Spade (talk) 19:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 19:50, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On several Singapore-related articles

Hello, Zscout370! I will see how I can help you get Coat of arms of Singapore to GA status; it is very close. I recently rewrote Money No Enough and Xiaxue, both of which are on peer review in preparation for GA nominations. Could you give some constructive comments at Money No Enough's peer review and Xiaxue's peer review? Thanks! 谢谢！Terima kasih! Nandri! Arigato! --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 04:50, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I remember seeing Money No Enough on the copyeditors page, but I will try and look at it soon. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:53, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I appreciate your administrative action on Libya. Hopefully this content dispute can be resolved more peaceably with the page under protection. -Kudzu1 (talk) 06:30, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest to look at Kosovo in the terms how that page is done. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 06:40, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are 2 separate arguments being debated/contended there. I hope that fact will not be lost in searching for the resolution. They both need to be agreed upon. One is the use of the term 'Libyan Republic' and the other is about the infobox(es). Kudzu1 seems to think that those two issues are inter-dependable, that a solution for one resolves the other. But there is no justification for such a view. I propose that the debate for them is separated and I will start another topic on the Talk:Libya page, 'The Infobox' albert humbert (talk) 15:44, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
