September 2010

GOCE drive has begun

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment and announce that the September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive has started, and will run for a month. Thanks for signing up. There's a special prize for most edits on the first day, in case you've got high ambitions. --Diannaa (Talk) 02:36, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

... for the feedback ... responded on my talk. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:42, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you say "Go away"

Saying "Go away" is inappropiate. Don't use it. And I'm making movie and do I need reliable sources?--125.25.14.239 (talk) 06:57, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can not use Wikipedia for your own non-Wikipedia purposes, and the actions you did on those two pages constitute vandalism. If you continue, your IP address range may be blocked, or the pages you want to edit may be protected. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:59, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But if my IP address range is blocked, that means whole continent (South East Asia) is blocked from editing. And how can I make a movie that have Wikipedia in script?--125.25.14.239 (talk) 07:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And why the warning I got is the last warning? Because you confused with your Thai vandal that vandalized Myanmar Radio and Television article? And what are 3 more warnings I get first?--125.25.14.239 (talk) 07:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't care how you make your movie, and I'm not interested, so please don't bother me with talk about it here. And no, IP address ranges can blocked a lot more selectively than "the whole continent", if necessary. And also no, the warning I gave you was not a final one. I will not reply to you further on this -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:07, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I gave the final warning. I'll pick this up. GedUK  07:15, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, cool - you do realise this is one of the Thai IP editors who has been giving us headaches for a very long time regarding TV stations (especially Polish ones, for some reason), don't you? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:18, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know much about Polish TV. I'm hardcore of Hungarian, Czech and Slovak. Not Polish. Not that one. Sorry.--125.25.14.239 (talk) 07:28, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have already investigated and have found Thailand and Poland IP edit warring together. I suggest to lock TVP1 and TVP2 articles forever.--125.25.14.239 (talk) 07:30, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Don't discuss this on this talk page, use mine. TVP1 is already protected, and I'm watching TVP2. GedUK  07:36, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I will not using this page anymore. I will use yours.--125.25.14.239 (talk) 07:51, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?!

Obviously, I'm not getting something on the word count script for this month's Copy Editing drive. Would you prompt me a bit......I want to work on some articles.....but I don't know how to make the word count script install? Thanks for any assistance.Buddpaul (talk) 14:40, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've looked at your vector.js page, and it looks like the script is installed there fine. Once I have it installed, under the Toolbox section in the column over on the left of the page, I see a "Page size" link. Are you sure you've refreshed your browser properly, to flush any cache? Maybe quit and restart the browser? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:57, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I got it worked out about 2 minutes after I sent you this! ........thanks anyway. Would you mind doing a 1-minute look-behind on some of my work.......am I doing it right? Am I posting my word count stuff (etc.) correctly? thanks! Buddpaul (talk) 18:28, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'd be happy to - off to bed tonight though (it's already 1:30am where I am) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:30, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Howdy......you awake yet? Buddpaul (talk) 18:46, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Really sorry about that - I've been taken ill with some sort of virus and spent the last couple of days in bed. My head's not up to any challenges at the moment and I won't be getting back to copy editing for another day or two, so it might be better if you could get someone else to look over that for you. Sorry again. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

October drive

Sorry, guys. The wikification drive has been bumped to October. You might have noticed already, however. I'm amazed how many people came on as soon as I sent out the invite. With a few more, we can easily meet our goal. Just remember. Concentrate your firepower on the 2008 articles, and you should have no problems. Great work! Also, if you have time, please also invite other users to participate. Thanks!

User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers. Since you had some involvement with the User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:19, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Signpost: 6 September 2010

Out of retirement

I thought I would let you know that I've decided to return to Wikipedia, only in a semi-retired state instead of completely retired. Life has somewhat settled down for me, and since I'm ditching pre-calculus I'll have a little more free time on my hands. The Raptor You rang?/My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions 00:58, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pleased to hear it :-) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:41, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Boing! said Zebedee. You have new messages at Daviessimo's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

On your RFD on User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers article seems to be good on userspace. And you're calling all users kids. This article seems to be edited by American editor, 37 years old and another Thai kid, 12 years old. I have already posted who are who here. And in the notice you said "including some who are kids who have a known history of making unreferenced and unsupportable additions to pages related to SE Asia (and usually having them deleted)." - YOU MEAN ME?? I EDITED BURMESE TV. I've found out the American editor is 37 years old, and not editing pages related to SE Asia (except Vietnam). He interests East European TV. And not 12 year old either. He is Thai and he's 12 years old but he likes Polish TV. I'm adult but I won't tell you how old am I. But I'm younger than you. So you think everyone who are younger than you are kids? (I'm not claiming you're old, but you said you lived in Thailand half of your life, and another place is "25 years", so you're 50 years old, i think, sorry if I'm wrong.)

Can you make the interview of American tomorrow? The best way to make intervie is to leave on the talk page of the article he edited frequently, Vietnam Television and Magyar Televizio (I don't have Hungarian keyboard, sorry). I don't have time to interview because I will be away tomorrow and I will come back on September 10.

By the way, why can't that stay on User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers? We must discuss first, also with that American 37-years. Don't touch List of Cambodian singers and User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers until we finished. I'll have to ask Tw3435, who is perma-banned, via his talk page.--180.180.109.229 (talk) 09:49, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The RFD is only for the redirect left after I moved it to List of Cambodian singers, where I have proposed it for deletion. If you disapprove of my deletion proposal you can contest it by removing the PROD template from the article itself, and I will take it to AFD for discussion instead. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:59, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And why should it be in mainspace?--125.25.236.126 (talk) 10:01, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Because that's how encyclopedia articles work - articles go in mainspace. Users can keep work-in-progress articles in their own userspace temporarily while they're working on them, but not permanently - and User:Ganerer is clearly not working on it (and never has been) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:11, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But User:Ganerer/List of computer pranks, why it's there? For 4 years already--125.25.236.126 (talk) 10:15, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's being discussed for deletion at MFD, because I thought it seemed like a far poorer candidate for a real article than does List of Cambodian singers, but if it survives MFD it will be moved to mainspace. Either way, move first then nominate for deletion, or nominate for deletion first and move if it survives, the outcome is the same - the article ends up in mainspace or deleted -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:21, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not to be in Tw3435's side or anything, but why JohnCD blocked Tw3435? He isn't a vandal. I've checked all his contributions, but he had no edits since March 2010, he only move the page. But why did you call me kid? And why shouldn't these two pages stay in Ganerer?--125.25.236.126 (talk) 10:29, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
