Why did you blank out my entire article, instead of deleting the copyright protected reviews. I put a lot of work into that article, and you just destroyed it without cause. And why is it that my corrected version is still sitting in the queu 40 hours later? Shouldn't it have priority over more recent pending articles?

Thanks for watching out for vandalism on Wikipedia - although that thing with the guestbook was watching out a little too much. Legolover26 (talk) 16:20, 20 September 2011 (UTC) |
Hey Monty! I have a question.
I love the idea of userboxes, and i have a lot of them, but how do you make them without the code being really really long? Or how do you make them at all? Legolover26 (talk) 17:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legolover26 (talk • contribs) 17:14, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
- To answer your second question first, there is a pretty extensive guide to making userboxes available at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Design and construct. What you would do if you don't want to clutter your userbox page with the code of any userboxes you make, is you create the userbox itself as a subpage in your userspace, and then you can transclude it into your main page like you do any other userbox. The userbox code may still be long, but it will be on the self contained page. If I haven't fully understood your question, feel free to explain it further. Monty845 17:21, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Re: Whorl
I added a description to the word Whorl and you removed it with one explanation about Wikipedia not being a collection of links. That's about 1/2 of what it is. In any case I've looked up a thousand things on Wikipedia and here are two examples, Coke and Angry Birds. What is the difference in those and what I added, a link to the Whorl! page?

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

The revert...
Did not notice it had been closed. Thanks. --Hinata talk 17:57, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi. How do you do this and get it to work? I have another look at Twinkle prefs and done what I thought was required by following the instructions and creating User:Kudpung/PROD log and User:Kudpung/CSD log, but I've obviously misunderstood something. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:24, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- The settings I have:
- Under Proposed deletion (PROD)
- Keep a log in userspace of all pages you tag for PROD (checked)
- Keep the PROD userspace log at this user subpage: Twinkle log
- Under Speedy deletion (CSD)
- Keep a log in userspace of all CSD nominations (checked)
- Keep the CSD userspace log at this user subpage: Twinkle log
- Do not create a userspace log entry when tagging with these criteria: (only U1 checked)
- Afaik, those are all the settings. Monty845 15:29, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Looking at User:Kudpung/twinkleoptions.js I don't see the PROD settings. Monty845 15:31, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- It shouldn't matter, but I didn't create the log page, Twinkle did. Doubt it matters, but that is the only other difference I see. Monty845 15:36, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Looking at User:Kudpung/twinkleoptions.js I don't see the PROD settings. Monty845 15:31, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the rapid response :) I'll try it out. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:49, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
