Articles with topics of unclear notability Graph

I just spotted your posting from a few months ago. The graph looks great! I'd say "implement". Thanks! --Stormbay (talk) 19:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh my, has that been four months already?
I have to fix one remaining issue with it (the number of months to show isn't automatically detected yet), but I guess I'll just do it then and move it to the category page afterwards. :)
It will probably take me a couple of days though.

Hi

I've done some more work on it in the last few weeks - at least that over zealous Saddle Club fan seems to have disappeared, thank goodness. Paul Austin (talk) 20:09, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

That's good, but all of the inline sources were apparently lost in her last editing spree. I'll have a look at the article, but only after the holidays.

CSD decline script

Hi there. Seeing your talent with scripting and Animum's apparent lack of time to work on it, would you consider creating that CSD decline script I was fantasizing about? Regards SoWhy 13:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Sure. I won't make you any promises as to when I get it done, but I'll put it on my short-term to-do list, and will drop Animum a line when I start working on it. Amalthea 13:23, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, it would be great, if you could but I won't lose (much) sleep over it if it takes a bit. Here's my original request to Animum and here's a list of some things I'd like it to do. TIA SoWhy 13:25, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

If this materializes let me know... ---I'm Spartacus! ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 21:39, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: Your recent edits

Hello, you recently expressed some concern in some of my recent edits.

The Women's American Football article was edited because it appeared that the photograph was referring to the male quarterback as a female and hence an attempted insult towards the individual; coincidentally having a female name 'Donna'. After closer examination, it appears that the Defensive end was in fact the female, but it was slightly difficult to discern as the equipment and masculine features somewhat mask the gender.

I felt that user: radiant chains was being snide towards me, saying such items as "Welcome to Wikipedia!", offensive because I've been a registered user and frequent editor since 2006. Furthermore, he has unjustly submitted a deletion request against an article I created, so I took the liberty of reverting some of his edits that I felt were incorrect.

Do not accuse me of sinister activity, as I am only here to better Wikipedia with my wealth of knowledge. However, at the same time, I will not take vulgarity towards myself or my work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bloodknight (talk • contribs) 00:46, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not accusing you of sinister activity. I expressed my concerns about your rather hostile posts on Radiant chains's user and user talk page, while he didn't do anything wrong. Concerning the song article, Wikipedia has rather strict guidelines about which songs should have a standalone article, which is laid out at WP:NSONGS. As you can see in the AfD, this guideline is still backed up by consensus of the editors here. He could have approached you first with his concerns, but most probably it wouldn't have changed anything. Retaliating by undoing his edits in turn is really not going to help anybody.

Twinkle Bugs

I would like you to re-vise the case closure of my bug report on Twinkle - on the information that my account is auto-confirmed - therefore the conclusion it's a twinkle bug which is now becoming extremely inconvenient in it's restriction of my anti-vandalism activities. I would be most appreaciative if you could assist me in this matter.

Hi! Sambot 11 is now up and running, so if you want to turn off automatic tagging in Twinkle, now would be a great time :-) Thanks for your help with the code. [[Sam Korn]] ^(smoddy) 11:02, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Done. Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea 11:20, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I've moved your question to my talkpage, to avoid the bot stopping every time either of us posts anything :-) [[Sam Korn]] ^(smoddy) 14:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Bad image list

Good idea. Now why didn't I thought of that. :) Garion96 (talk) 23:59, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, this list is getting a bit long, and if we don't want to end up having all of commons:Category:Nudity and commons:Category:Feces in it I guess putting expiry dates into the comments is necessary.

It still doesnt work

My username still won't show up. I will not be able to answer immediatly. Abce2

What do you mean, "still"?
You can always go to your preferences, uncheck the "Raw signature" checkbox and blank the associated textbox, and you'll be back to the default. Amalthea 12:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I changed the code I've left on your page, could you try again please? Amalthea 16:41, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

It still does not work. What am I doing wrong? --[[User:Abce2|<font face=Fantasy color=#36F>Abce2</font>]]|<small>[[User Talk:Abce2|<font face=Verdana color=#09A>''How''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Abce2|<font face=Fantasy color=#FA1>''dy!''</font>]]</small> (talk) 21:13, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm guessing you've left "Raw signature" unchecked? Amalthea 21:20, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

And you're not using the code I corrected above, with the font face and colors enclosed in quotes. Amalthea 21:21, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Title replacing

Hi there Amalthea. Remember the discussion we had about replacing the page title on user pages? It seems like One (talk · contribs) managed to create a working version for text-only (see User:One/Title). Just fyi. =) Regards SoWhy 16:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but it's using CSS to roughly position the text div on top of the real title header, and look how it makes your talkpage look in modern skin. :| Amalthea 22:02, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

But who is really using modern skin nowadays? ;-) But seriously, I wish the software had an option to display stuff only on a certain skin... SoWhy 07:17, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Not me, but there are some, apparently.
And I'm afraid that a feature like this would lead to very questionable use (and I think it'd be hard to prevent its use in main space for all browsers) :) Amalthea 08:16, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I saw the redirects' fixings you did. I am not really sure if they are covered by this. Stricto sensu maybe not. But ... --Yannismarou (talk) 17:48, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. After the first four I did remember that there was an injunction in that area and I looked it up, but decided that it wasn't covered, and that it would be against all commons sense to leave a double redirect broken because of it; They all lead to Macedonia anyway, only with a stopover at Republic of Macedonia. If you disagree or think that it might I'm happy to bring it to attention at some forum though.

Courtney Love

Hello Ameltha, how are you? About Courtney Love's backround i have sourced the information in the past, but honestly i do find it hard to believe that she would just make up something like that, unless, of course, she was missquoted, but if a problem seems to rise, i will try and discuss it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.173.210.223 (talk • contribs) 11:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Could you please leave at least a comment at the talk page of the article anyway? I'd expect that some other editor, or All Hallow's Wraith, might otherwise just undo it with the comment that it doesn't say anything about her heritage in the article, only about her claims of her heritage. And I couldn't fault them for that. As I said, it appears sound that if none of her parents are of Jewish ancestry, that she can't be either. I haven't tried investigating any of it myself, but it's quite possible that the was misquoted, or the quote was misinterpreted, or that she was speaking metaphorically, or ...

Le French May

why did you redo the description of le french may?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lefrenchmay (talk • contribs) 15:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello
I had to remove your change of Le French May since the text you added was taken verbatim from http://www.consulfrance-hongkong.org/spip.php?article3012 and http://www.frenchmay.com/pages/about_us . However, that text is copyrighted and hasn't been released under a free license, so Wikipedia cannot accept it. If you want to change the article, please do so in your own words. You may take information from other pages, but not sentences.
Kind regards, Amalthea 15:53, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I see that you restored your change while I was writing this message. I will have to undo that again, since it is still a copyright violation. Please, do not readd it again. Amalthea 15:55, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

but what you have on le french may was badly written....

who are you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lefrenchmay (talk • contribs) 15:56, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

and if i don't want to write it myself? can i put up a request saying that i want to learn more about le french may or a certain person, and someone will try to dig up more information and put it up on widipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lefrenchmay (talk • contribs) 15:57, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, nonetheless, Wikipedia can still only accept free content. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or have a look at Wikipedia:Copyrights.
If you do not want to write original content yourself, you can try and ask nicely, for example at the WikiProject Hong Kong. However, bear in mind that this is a project written and maintained by volunteers, so there are no guarantees that your request will get a timely response. If that article is of importance to you, why not try yourself? Pick out the part that you dislike the most, and try to improve it.

Paris Hilton

Hi, I moved the messages regarding the edits Tarheelz did to the talkpage of the article. As I'm sure you noticed, the user has a long history of making questionable edits without any sourcing. A lot of good edits, but still a fair number that aren't helping out either. Either way, if you would like to add to the discussion there, feel free.--Terrillja _talk 20:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Already did. I suggested to move it since you make a good point, and it's easier to find it there in the future.
Tarheelz, yes, I think I left him a couple of messages myself already. It's a bit sad that he is often so non-communicative, and refuses to use edit summaries. :\
