Re: Dreamachine

Hi. Why did you remove the gallery? Shouldn't there be a commons gallery link to replace it? Viriditas (talk) 01:58, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi to you, too! :-)
I remove all galleries I come across, when I can. I believe they just take up space. If a picture will benefit an article, the picture can do that just as well, or even more!, outside of a gallery instead of inside.
I've never done a commons gallery link. I'm not sure I know what a commons gallery is. --I dream of horses (T) @ 03:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the interesting answers. I'm curious about your position. Do other editors also remove galleries like you do? I think in the future, if you remove a gallery, you should make an effort to replace it with a link to {{Commons category}} in the last section. That's what I was talking about when I mistakenly called it a "commons gallery". What do you think? Viriditas (talk) 07:46, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if other editors remove galleries like I do.
Oh, so doing {{Commons category}} will link to the proper gallery on Wikimedia commons if I do it right? --I dream of horses (T) @ 23:31, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes! But many times, the gallery (category on commons) will be located under another name or will need to be created on commons. Viriditas (talk) 23:42, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I'm sure I can teach myself how to make a category in Commons. Thanks for telling me about this! --I dream of horses (T) @ 23:44, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Magness, Cable TV Pioneer, Billionaire

He was the first one to recognize the importance of Cable TV in the 1960's when programming wasn't added, it just carried better TV signals. He hired John Malone, now of Liberty Media. He wasn't mentioned very much. Without his vision and financial support Mr. Malone wouldn't be this huge success in Cable TV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thething88 (talk • contribs) 23:50, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your request. It was accepted ;-) . --Dэя-Бøяg 00:34, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! And thank you for making quality articles. --I dream of horses (T) @ 02:44, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

You took me by surprise. I noticed a few changes on the article No Regrets, so thank you for that...I'm a bit of a rookie so I needed that. I'm up all night with my insomnia and about to work on her other album in a bit lol, so if you can help me there too, that would be appreciated :) Garry says OK (talk) 05:53, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's how Wikipedia works, everybody working together! I found your page while new page patrolling.
I now have added the page to my watchlist, and added it to two wikiprojects. You can check out, and possibly join the wikiprojects on the article talk page. --I dream of horses (T) @ 21:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Indian Officers of 29th DCO Bombay Infantry 1899

Hi! Thanks for your input, and I am not that old! But I am the Official Historian of the Baloch Regiment. I came across a rather inaccurate and incomplete page of the Regiment on Wikipedia and decided to update it. Unfortunately, being new to it, I am having trouble with some of your procedures. The picture in question is held by the battalion (now called 11 Baloch) and as the Regimental Historian and Archivist, I have full authority to use it. In fact I also have a number of other images that I intend to put up on Wikipedia, which are solely owned by the Regiment with no copyrights issues. I would be obliged, if you would let me know how to go about doing this. Thanks. Beloochee (talk) 11:06, 9 October 2010 (UTC)Beloochee.[reply]

I think you meant to go here. --I dream of horses (T) @ 21:43, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suicide methods

A Parrot,

I received a message about a "personal comment" left in "suicide methods." I have not even looked at that page in recent memory and have not edited any article in months.

I have no idea what this is about.

I have to admit, I have no idea what you're talking about. --I dream of horses (T) @ 20:57, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A Parrot's talk page is user talk:A. Parrot if that's who you're looking for. —Soap— 22:25, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who Live

Please note that I have commenetd on your PROD on the article's talk page 62.25.109.196 (talk) 10:32, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've sent the article to articles for deletion. --I dream of horses (T) @ 03:06, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you 62.25.109.196 (talk) 07:00, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

...for the dove! I will take good care of her! Don't tell anyone, but my favorite food is french fries as well. : ) Viriditas (talk) 02:53, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, you're welcome. I was in the mood to cheer somebody up! (And your "secret" is safe with me!)--I dream of horses (T) @ 02:54, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Podalyria calyptrata

I'm puzzled by the as to why you put up the inuse tag on that article, and then going off to do other edits ([1], [2]). I made an addition [3] and then removed the tag [4]. Minimac (talk) 06:03, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the improvements!
I put up an {{inuse}} tag because it seemed obvious to me, at the time, that the article was, indeed, "undergoing a major edit", but I thought it was by the articles' creator. I know that isn't the "norm" to put up that tag up unless you're writing the article, but I was hoping by doing that, I'd help the article not get deleted.

Speedy deletion declined: "Lights Out"

Hello I dream of horses. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of "Lights Out", a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 08:26, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. That should show me that I need to slow down...again. I dream of horses (T) @ 15:45, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well I wouldn't have defended that one at AFD, but yes we need to be clear with newbies why their article doesn't quite belong, and what they need to do to meet our requirements. An upcoming single from a debut album has context, but not notability. ϢereSpielChequers 16:08, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Funny image

...chased out peacocks, and weasels...[5] Viriditas (talk) 23:07, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I do that frequently. I dream of horses (T) @ 23:10, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I like it. BTW, I have a list of funny vandalisms from many years ago that I just moved to a subpage. Viriditas (talk) 23:25, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've been inspired by the idea of having a funny vandalism subpage, and have created one myself. I dream of horses (T) @ 05:32, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neat. Your vandalism fighting is quite impressive. I've never used Igloo before. Is it worth trying? Viriditas (talk) 08:59, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it is. I thin you have to use chrome or mozilla firefox to use it, though. I know I had to change from safari to firefox to use it. I dream of horses (T) @ 18:05, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Awesomeness

Thanks, man! I hope that we can meet again, whether here or in IRC chat. I dream of horses (T) @ 06:15, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding warnings issued to Kathymyers (talk · contribs)

This editor was blanking an article that she originally created. Instead of repeatedly reverting and warning her, you should have tagged the article as {{db-author}}. The article had been blanked and deleted once before. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:46, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oooh, how embarrasing. I deserve a Wikitrout. I dream of horses (T) @ 07:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Great timing... here I just made an edit to the article about the inventor of the Filet-O-Fish. But then so did you... Hmm... -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:05, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Archive warning?

Hey, just wanted to ask why I was warned for archiving my talk page? :S I removed content and archived it to User talk:LostHavoc/Archive 1. It was my first time actually archiving it. Was there a problem? LostHavoc(talk) 20:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. You were right to revert the warning. As explained below, it was a false positive. I dream of horses (T) @ 01:32, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RE:October 2010

Hello, I'm user bwisok and I'm new, I'm trying to rescue the societism article from deletion, because I feel that would be more or less outrageous. So I'm working to provide some reference to related ideas of which I'm aware. There is nothing objectionable or nonconstructive in my changes, and they are not dilatory. They're very important concepts, and I resent whoever you are--though I'm not angry--for telling me like a censor who doesn't show any knowledge of the subject matter that I can't make these changes. If you're the author of societism, then please tell me what you find objectionable. I'm basically trying to support the author in identifying a very important social concept for our times. Bwisok (talk) 21:30, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it was a false positive. I've reverted and I've left you a welcome message. Viriditas (talk) 23:34, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Hello Wiki users. I am an intern at ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability USA and I work for Executive Director Martin Chávez in the Washington, DC office. I am trying to make changes and add photos to both ICLEI USA's and Martin Chavez's pages. How do I gain access to add photos? Cruzdaniel (talk) 16:06, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I don't think you should edit the article, so you don't get in trouble for conflict of interest. I dream of horses (T) @ 03:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My understanding is that people with a COI can edit articles provided they do so very carefully and without controversy. It helps for such people to make use of the talk page and to engage in discussion and propose changes before making them first. I will contact the user later and see if there is anything I can do to help. Viriditas (talk) 22:52, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you to Viriditas for explaining to both of us what the COI rules really mean. I dream of horses (T) @ 00:38, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I left Cruzdaniel some information on his talk page. Feel free to add to it or help him with the image uploads. Viriditas (talk) 01:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
