Istituto Italiano di Tecnolgia

Hi, I'd like to ask for a redirect. We have wikipage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Institute_of_Technology. The institutes name should always appear in Italian, a bit like British Airways for instance. The redirect should got to this wikipage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istituto_Italiano_di_Tecnologia Thanks Webmaster_iit (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:34, 14 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for new Online Ambassadors

Hi Looie! I noticed your activity as a Good Article reviewer, and wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.

If you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 23:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Parkinson's disease

While it has been some time I feel I have addressed all your concerns at GAN. I was hoping you could continue your great review soon enough. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 10:01, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the tremendous effort that you have put into reviewing that article for GA. I am concerned because I don't think it is a good article. It's a difficult thing. Not good enough for medical uses, too wordy for laymen use. TeacherA (talk) 00:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Terra Novus

Hi, Looie496. You originally blocked Terra Novus (talk · contribs) back on 29 October 2010 for one week due to disruptive editing.[1] He appears to have improved since that time, however, I've noticed a return to his earlier problematic editing in the last week.[2] I'm not sure where to go from here, but it would be nice to have some more eyes on this. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 11:36, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As it stands, he has also been challenging his topic ban.[3] It looks like he is trying to push the limits to see how far he can go. Viriditas (talk) 11:41, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2011 Asian Winter Games

What are the "3r rules"? And why is the article blocked for 3 days? the "warring" had stopped before you decided to blocked it. Intoronto1125 (talk) 02:02, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:3RR. If you and the other editor can discuss the problem and come to an agreement on how to proceed without edit-warring, I will be happy to lift the page protection. If you've already discussed it and I missed it, please give me a pointer to the discussion. Looie496 (talk) 02:05, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Titanic Thompson

Hi! I noticed that you said editing on the Titanic Thompson page will lead to a ban. I was going to make some changes to the page (and I do have citations for the information), but now I don't know if I should put them up. I was working with another admin on this page, and they said that since I know a lot about Titanic, I could change the information if I have 3rd party sources. Is it ok? Thanks so much for all your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Booklover85 (talk • contribs) 02:50, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Based on this edit it appears that you are Drahcirr41 in disguise. Is that correct? If it is, then you need to discuss what you want to do on the talk page and get other editors to agree with it before you make any changes. You also should avoid using multiple accounts, as it may lead people to believe that you are trying to hide the fact that edits are being made by the same person. Looie496 (talk) 03:32, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yikes! No. Not Drahcirr41 at all. I actually wanted to correct his edits. I agree with what is written on the page now, but thought I could provide further citation. Where shall I post the edits for someone to inspect and check my sources. If the page stays the way it is now, I'm fine with that, as it is more accurate than when Drahcirr41 was editing it. So, if it can't be done, that's fine. Also, I wouldn't waste my time with multiple accounts. Thanks so much for your help!:: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Booklover85 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. If you aren't Drahcirr41 and there is nothing fishy going on, you should feel free to edit the article as you think is appropriate -- but if anything gives rise to controversy, please start a section on the talk page to discuss it instead of fighting about it. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 03:42, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for all of your help! I won't reverse the edits if they are changed. I'll just post my cited sources to try to correct misinformation. Thanks again!
