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]
1) Ask JohnCD, not me (but do bear in mind that some of Tw3435's will have been deleted, and you can't see those). 2) I didn't call you kid, as I did not address you personally. 3) I've already explained why the two articles cannot remain in userspace, and if you still don't understand then you'll have to go ask someone else. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Tw3435's edits are sometimes good, and sometimes bad. e.g Tamási Eszter, List of television stations in Crete, List of anchors in channel 7 (Thailand) are all good edits. But after March this year he hasn't edit, only move pages. And I've asked Tw3435, as I see he's not a bot. (He catched me, I lied that he is a bot controlled by a Burmese people). And no more progress with Myanmar articles?--125.25.236.126 (talk) 10:51, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Look, I'm not interested in discussing Tw3435 here - I've no idea who he or she is, and I had nothing to do with the indef block. If you wish to discuss Tw3435, you'll have to go find someone who cares - I've suggested you ask JohnCD if you want to know more. Now, I think I've explained the situation regarding the two articles quite sufficiently, and if you wish to take part in the deletion discussion process, you know where to do it - not here -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:59, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Further - stop trying to order me around here, and don't tell me what I can and cannot edit! If you want to say something about any specific articles, say it on their Talk pages, not here, because I'm not the only one with an interest. And if you want to chat to someone, go find somewhere else to do it, and leave my Talk page alone - I will remove anything else you add here, as I did with your last comment, without further reply. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:53, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Concern review

Hi, I'm the 37-year-old (now 38) American. I want to review your concern on List of Cambodian singers, but I was shocked when I clicked on "View history" on User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers page, the edit count is reduced to 3. 2 by you and 1 by "Thai adult" who recently talked to you.

This is a strange one. It was moved to user space In February 2010 by someone who has since been indef blocked for page move vandalism, and I've just moved it back to main space as I see no reason for it having been there (The user whose space it was in, User:Ganerer appears inactive and to have had nothing to do with it). Since then it has been heavily edited by a number of IP editors, 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). It is completely unreferenced, and one of the IPs even claimed "NO SOURCES NEEDED FOR THIS ARTICLE, IT IS NOT A MAIN ARTICLE" in an edit summary. The whole thing is a mess - I'm sure a good article could be written, but I wouldn't trust a word of what has been written here, and I think deleting it and starting afresh with proper sources is probably the only way to go.

Why not telling them it's Tw3435? And did Tw3435 get indef blocked? Why didn't you let me know? For the reason for having it there, I don't want to talk now. And it seems like Ganerer user doesn't exist. Heavily edited by a number of IP editors - But that's history isn't useful anymore after an anonymous editor has reverted to the old old old version.--125.27.54.210 (talk) 14:44, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss it on the article's Talk page if you have something to say, not here. And if you disagree with my PROD nomination, remove it and we can take it to AfD. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Because I moved it, the history is now all at List of Cambodian singers. As for User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers, an IP has been messing about with it without understanding about page moves and page histories. I've reverted the IP's change now, so the article and its history is at List of Cambodian singers, and User:Ganerer/List of Cambodian singers is a redirect. And if you want to discuss it, the place to do that is Talk:List of Cambodian singers. (Also, if you expect people to inform you of things like this, you'll need to create a registration - I'm certainly not going to run around trying to track down dynamic IP editors who refuse to register). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:11, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've reported for speedy deletion. I think I understand what you said. If you can't leave it in userspace. But tell me more why do you have to move it?--125.27.54.210 (talk) 16:54, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
