User talk:Bencherlite

Bencherlite is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon.

This is a Wikipedia user talk page.

I have a legitimate second account - Bencherlite (AWB) - to keep my AWB editing separate from my main editing. Discussions are archived after 7 days, but you can copy older discussions back to this page if necessary. I will reply on your talk page to messages you leave for me here, unless you tell me otherwise - I know it splits conversations up, but this method does at least generate the "You have new messages" banner for you. Please click on the "+" at the top of the page to leave a message on a new topic, or "edit" to carry on an existing discussion. Thanks.

Quaere re templates

Hello and thank you for your recent welcome when I joined the Law Project. Could you help me understand a couple of things regarding templates?

First, let's use the Law Project for an example, say I come across a page that obviously should be part of the project and is a stub. Should I tag it as a {{law-stub}} on the article page, tag it as Law Project article on the talk page and assess it as a stub, or both? Is there any harm in it being both? Will it get double reported if it is tagged in both places?

Further, do I understand correctly that if I should happen to create the stub, it would be fine to tag it as a {{law-stub}}, fine to add the Law Project Template to the talk page, but inappropriate to then give it any class rating or importance assessment? If someone else, or some group of editors of which I was only a minor contributor, later built the article up beyond stub class, would it be appropriate for me to assess it then or should I forever abstain as the article's creator?

Finally, when tagging a talk page, should one sign the tag? or is that sort of an exemption from the signing rule? Is it better to make a comment as to why one thinks the article is within the project or why one is assessing it a particular way? There have been a few articles I have run across that have no project tag, clearly belong within law, and have no comments at all. Upon tagging the article, I've added my signature after the tag, but later if a comment is made, it does look a little odd. In these cases, the tag itself didn't seem to require comment as it wasn't a borderline article.

Thanks.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 20:38, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: category duplication

Hi Bencherlite. I have tagged Category:British Formula One series with {{db-author}}. Thanks for the tip! DH85868993 15:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry!

Still alive and kicking Bencherlite. I do say on my talk page that I am busy in Real Life. Hope you're feeling good, and please don't think that i'm just abandoning wikipedia. The truth is, i've just had my summer holiday and I haven't had access to a computer, so as you've probably guessed i'm now writing to you from college. Please keep in touch with any new tasks,

Thank you

I am most appreciative of your revert of the vandalism to my user page. I am amazed at how fast you caught it—less than two minutes! Again, many thanks. Unschool 22:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Private Eye

Not at all, a list like that doesn't add any understanding or greater knowledge to the subject, so it was rather pointless.--Crossmr 12:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hello Bencherlite. "Whilst I admire your enthusiasm" for pulling people up for vandalism, I want to inform you of a certain thing. Myself and FM07GOD are one and the same. That's right, sockpuppeters. I'm sure that you enjoy being a respected user, but in terms of spotting sockpuppeters, let's just say "unfortunately, you're not there yet".

Kindest regards

Double Warning

Hi Bencherlite, Yeah we must have reverted the edit at the same time. Sorry, I should have checked the edit history before I warned him. Thanks for removing it! Loopla 11:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2 accounts

I can safely say that I have only one account. Krummy is a friend's idea of a joke. Also, why is it that some people have two legitimate accounts. (This is not me challenging you by the way, jusy asking out of curiosity!) GOD 12:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
