A Gnome Explains

I became a WikiGnome after I found I had misspelt retrieved, as retreived (ei), three times in one article (one mistake, copied & pasted).
I set myself a "penance" of correcting the "ei" versions in Wikipedia articles, but only intended to do the 100 or so misspellings there were at the time
I then adopted "retrieved" (retreived, retrived, retreved) and then added "rhythm” (rhythem, rhythim, rhythym, rhytm, rythem, rythim, rythm & rythym)

I then got carried away, and adopted the Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings/R - all of it. Don’t do it, it's bad for your health

Broadcasted

The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states that the use is proscribed, so it should not be used.
The word also appears on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B

Broadcasted appears in some US dictionaries, but not at all in some UK ones, e.g.Chambers which states "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries and should be used throughout, as COMMONALITY - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".

A July 2014 Beta search for Broadcast gave over 144,000 uses, compared with a search for broadcasted which gave just 28.
Of these 28, 13 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon and the rest are misspellings in quotations or titles.

Frankly, not good enough

I have already forgotten how I found myself here, but I have now just decided that your contributions are of insufficient quality. There is no relevant barnstar, so this text will have to suffice, and let me be clear: quantity of edits is also deficient.

If this state of affairs does not improve, I will be forced to cancel your subscription to Wikipedia and I am bored at the moment. I wonder where I am off to next: an article? a discussion page?

Hi AntiqueReader

I'm sorry to hear you are bored

Perhaps a little DIY brain surgery might make life a little more interesting?

I note the edit you made before posting here was to Osama bin Laden - I'm not quite sure of the association of ideas that got you from him to me

Maybe I should suggest some more invasive DIY brain surgery? - Arjayay (talk) 11:20, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Permit me to reveal a crucial fact: I am long past the point where even the most skilled of brain surgeons could render me assistance.

Saudi Arabia: It is on my watchlist; I think that is how I got here.

I bid you farewell, but will keep an eye on you to ensure aforementioned deficiencies are remedied. AntiqueReader (talk) 14:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	Thank you so much for your corrections (on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silviu_Mih%C4%83il%C4%83 ) I really appreciate...! Best wishes! Loyd Sebastian (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Please have a glance

this page is a duplicate of an existing page List of airports in Andhra Pradesh. Any advice?--Vin09 (talk) 15:19, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

I saw your request for deletion, and edited the redirect in Andhra Pradesh to (your) older article. I realize you started List of airports in Andhra Pradesh so requesting deletion of a "rival" article could be seen to be in bad faith. The new article does have some additional information, (I assume it is correct?) so a merge would be better, but this should not be under the "AirPorts" title, as Wikipedia does not use CamelCase, however, if a lot of information is included, it should not be under the "list" title either, as it is more than a list. If you feel it difficult to suggest a merge, because you started one of the articles, I will happily do that for you. - Arjayay (talk) 15:35, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

No, actually I read somewhere that a duplicate article is not required for wiki, so I requested that. I'm moving it to Aiports of Andhra Pradesh and adding the required info which you mentioned.--Vin09 (talk) 15:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

You should agree the merge with the other editor (seeWP:Merging) and then ensure you attribute the additional information to the original editor, before making the "AirPorts" article into a redirect. - Arjayay (talk) 17:08, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

FYI, AirPorts has already been deleted. And the article should stay as a list. Including additional info will be redundant as the main article of each of these airports already have them and besides, adding info on each and every airport of the state makes it too elaborate. — LeoFrank  ^Talk 17:13, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

@LeoFrank:Agree, these airports have already been in Andhra Pradesh, their respective pages.--Vin09 (talk) 17:19, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Skogssamer

Hi, I was wondering if you could take a look at the article Skogssamer that I have created. I have nominated it for DYK. But before it will be finally approved some copyediting for Standard English is needed. So if you are interested please take a look. Otherwise thanks anyway :).--BabbaQ (talk) 17:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your request BabbaQ
I think you could be out of luck with DYK, as the article does not seem to meet the eligibility criteria:-
It is not new (<7 days old) nor expanded 5x (in the last 7 days), nor promoted to good article (in the last 7 days) Please see WP:WIADYK for the full criteria.

I always feel bad criticizing other peoples articles, but as you have asked for it, there are three points I would raise - all in the lead:-
The first sentence assumes the reader knows who the Sami are, and where they live - although they can click the link to find out, they have then left the article. I suggest that after woods, you add "of northern Scandinavia" or some thing similar, to help the reader.
The second sentence ends "northern parts of Ångermanland and north." North what?
The final two sentences appear self contradictory - if Manker's study was in the early 1900s, and "practically all habitations (plural) had been abandoned" how was there only one village? - and if it was "located in Malå during the 1800s" where was it located at other times - e.g when Manker carried out his study in the early 1900s? - This also contradicts the 1882 committee investigartion futher down

I am also concerned about the quotation, where it appears you have only translated part of it into English

Hope that helps - I'm off now but should be back about 07.30 UTC tomorrow - Arjayay (talk) 18:55, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

No I do not take it as criticism but as advice :) I will take all your advice and try to improve it. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:31, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Can you take care of the page? If other IP or user adding unsourced genre (for Eric Carmen's original).183.171.175.130 (talk) 22:01, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, although the page was already on my watchlist. Genres are always difficult, and AllMusic has changed the way they present them, but they only say "pop" - Arjayay (talk) 15:12, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Deletion

South Coastal Railway Zone, I tagged it for deletion, what is wrong with it, still existing?--Vin09 (talk) 17:50, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

As it says "This message has remained in place for seven days and so the article may be deleted without further notice." but, as I have explained before, I am not an Admin, so I can't delete it.
However,I'm not sure your reasons for proposed deletion are correct:-
As it already exists WP:CRYSTAL is not relevant - as for WP:TOOSOON that is usually used for people:- musicians, artists, sportsmen, politicians; or for companies, who have only just started and may, or may not, become notable. A bureaucratic body like a railway board does not normally become notable over time; it either is notable, or is not. - Arjayay (talk) 18:11, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
