Thank you!

Thank you a million times! Your friend in cyberspace, GingerLeader 15:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Psst

I added a well-deserved new barnstar to your User page, and put them all in a table for you, I hope you don't mind.

Also, please check out this page, and pass it on! — Catherine\^talk 01:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from Danielos2

Thanks for your replies to my questions! It´s good to have someone to ask to learn all the features of the awesome Wikipedia-site! (--Danielos2 11:23, 13 March 2006 (UTC))

thanks!

Iam glad that u have responded to my message....if i have any doubts ,i will let you know [anjan217]

hndis

Thanks for the heads up on {{hndis}}. I was just doing some (Northern Hemisphere) “spring cleaning” to get articles with surnames to sort by them instead of given names. Changing out all of the hndis uses looks like a job for a ’bot. — Bellhalla 13:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks n_n!

...for helping me with Añil --Orpheo 15:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

It's not often I see users treat others the way I think people should be treated on Wikipedia. Thanks for that :-) --HappyCamper 01:25, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the help me abuse

Yeah, I just wanna apoligize to you about my abuse of the template last night while blocked. --Hamedog^Talk|@ 11:37, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

About changing article title

Thanks for the quick reply. I had wanted to change the article title "Harold Klemp" to "Sri Harold Klemp" for the reason listed on the talk page. Thanks for the info, I can definitely understand while waiting 4 days is required. —This unsigned comment was added by Celebrityguyxy (talk • contribs) .

Consensus by a landslide

Sorry for suggesting two articles be merged? That's good form. No apology needed. What a good discussion it started, pressing us to think and rationalise about the processes (and to question edits that have come before). Hopefully we'll edit as much on the articles as we did on the comment page. Cheers, Daniel Collins 05:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC).

Hey Commander

Hello there. I just joined Wiki today, and dove in (be bold?) by drive-by-editing the first portion of the the Mach 3 entry. Would you help me out by telling me if I "overdid" my edit for clarity in the first section? Also this razor is called the "Mach3" by Gillette, they oughta' know they own it. How does that get added (leaving the "Mach 3" since that's everywhere as well).

Looking forward to your help! : ) —This unsigned comment was added by Ziggles Metropolitan (talk • contribs) .

New user with a similar name

I came across a new user ComKeen (talk • contribs). I thought you should know because of the similarity to your username. It's probably just a coincidence. --TantalumTelluride 04:16, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Re:helpme on templates

Well, I didn't really mean "cubes". I really ment the sections. an example would be:

{{{name}}}

Data 1:	{{{data1}}}
Data 2:	this text displayed if data2 not defined
Data 3 (data hidden if data3 empty or not defined):

Is there a "Workspace?"

Hey there! Quick question ... is there a way to create a temporary "working" page for content I'm working on? It would be nice to have a place (not as public as the sandbox) to test edits and formatting changes. Other than "my talk" page, is there a way to add a temporary or "placeholder" page as an editing space? Thanks for your help! Ziggles Metropolitan 00:03, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yelled for help

• Yeah - yelled for help. May need a RFC deleted by the originator (Mel Etitis's the subject) I've got the lady cooled, am trying to chill this all the way to gone. You are an admin I trust? If not, that's who we'll need. FrankB 08:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Ending it - If the filing party contacts you (I gave her this talk page link), you should be able to speedydelete it, or at least archieve it. Mel should be up, if he's not already, and he'd know. Drop him an email. I'm going to bed (4:30 local Mediating!!!) FrankB 09:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Reply from Angelikmeg

Thank you for your advice Commander. I followed it, took me some time, but I translated my article "Gilbert Sinoue" to English. It's not that easy but I learned new words tonight. Now how can I save it from its current miserable fate and categorize it? Merci Merci --Angelikmeg

Thank you for your tips and changes. you are just wonderful :-) I will take a look at everything again tomorrow. --Angelikmeg 09:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandal Hamsacharya dan

Dear Commander Keane,

Dan Kogan, an ordained teacher of the Hamsa Yoga Sangh cult has been creating havoc for the past weeks by relentlessly inserting the name of his guru, his guru's book, quotes from his guru's book, and external link to their website on the following articles Kriya yoga, Mahavatar Babaji, Nath, and Adi Nath when the majority of the editors (actually all of them) who are experts on the subject agree that his guru is illegitimate, his inserts does not enrich (add anything substantial) the already existing articles, and only aims to promore the personal interest of their organization.

This person wants to turn WP into a propaganda material for a highly questionable (possibly harmful) pseudo-Hindu cult while pretending to be an impartial concerned Wikipedian who only wants to enrich it. The situation is really bad. He has just been banned but as soon as he gets unbanned he begins to relentlessly vandalize the pages with irrelevant and immaterial cult propaganda once again.

It is futile to try and protect the integrity of an article when someone like this person Hamsacharya dan, like the Energizer Bunny, keeps on reverting them and gets away with it without being taught a lesson.

To see for yourself that Hamsacharya dan is really an ordained teacher of the cult he keeps on inserting to the articles and not just a concerned Wikipedian with no alterior motive, please see the following website [List of Authorized Teachers] and scroll down a bit for Hamsacharya Dan Kogan.

Please help us. Will you help us?

Thanking you in advance,

No To Frauds 11:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Just regarding the 'Penrhos' article and its deprodding: It seems to me that it's just vanity. The history of the house may be of interest, but a search for "Penrhos Knights" on Google returns only the WikiPedia page. Surely the history could be total fiction, especially since the rest of the article is about how they have lots of storage for drinks and weapons to defend themselves.

If the article really is notable, then I'll say no more, but I just wanted to be sure. Drop us a reply with your decision.

Many thanks, and I apologise if I'm forcing the point...

Thank your for responding. This is regarding an article. I can not seem to figure out what this user is doing with Lego Star Wars: The Video Game, is he improving it or vandalising it? Here is the Older Version before this user began most of his edits for comparison. Thank You! Tutmosis 14:38, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay Ill try asking him or post something on the talk page. I do not know much about the subject either and I was just a little suspicious. Can you suggest a way in which I can ask without insulting his changes if they are genuine? Thank you for your assistance. Tutmosis 14:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation Black Patch - Black Patch PARK

Dear Commander Keane.

Sorry I've posted this elsewhere as well.

Thanks for past help. Can you assist with resolving confusion between Black Patch and Black Patch park. It seems to me and others with whom i have spoken about these two articles that it would make things a lot lot more straightforward if the two were combined under the heading "Black Patch Park". I say this becasue that title is rarer and therefore less ambiguous than "Black Patch" which occurs (as you'll see if you google 'Black Patch"). Can you establish who is the main author of Black Patch so that I can suggest this? The person who is the local history expert and who i thought had written most of it is not the author (Ted Rudge) and Ted agrees with my proposal. Can you help?

Best Sibadd 21:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

As a note, I've reverted the user article to clear the previous message. Well done for changing to the proper article! JJE 21:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Browsebar

Hi Commander Keane. Based on the discussion we had at Wikipedia talk:Questions, I thought you may be interested in commenting about {{browsebar}} at Template talk:Browsebar#Is this bar useful?. I have the feeling that some people are concerned with global "usability" which transforms individual articles like Wikipedia:Questions into flashy things which are rather unusable. Your insights on this matter are appreciated. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Book plug?

Hi, Keane ! I've not encountered this before, and don't really know where else to check on this, so I've brought my question here. Is it acceptable for someone to plug their own book on a Wiki talk page ? [[1]] Sandy 23:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Keane ! Sandy 01:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Attilas '74

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. This is in reference to this edit, which took out both an AfD notice and a Speedy Delete for a blatant copyright violation notice. It is a little hard to believe that I have to tell an admin this. --Descendall 07:34, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Damn, only now do I notice that you also deleted the copyvio material. Sorry for getting so upset about the edit. Nevertheless, I think that the AfD tag cannot be erased as long at the article is is listed on the AfD page, which it is. --Descendall 07:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Arrrggg, and now I realize that you went to AfD and speedy kept it. I hope you forgive me for all this. --Descendall 07:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

IP Block, 24.97.51.118

Hi there- I've been actively monitoring contributions made to Cheverus High School, and have contacted the teacher sponsoring article edits for use in an assignments. This teacher says she will appropriately mark students who did not contribute correctly and/or vandalized the pages (and hopefully lecture the students on how not to use Wikipedia), so I think revocation of a block for 24.97.51.118 is in order. Upon further investigation with the school, it is the only IP the school uses to access the internet. Chris Saribay 19:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the update, I will pursue this further. Best regards, Hall Monitor 20:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Helpme

Thanks. I am trying to get permission from the AP to use one of its photos on my new article, Richard C. Casey. I copied and pasted the "Boilerplate" example of a permission request from Wikipedia, asking them for permission under GFDL. I'm new at this, so I just need a little help. They responded and said:

After reading a bit of the Wikipedia license it states "permission is granted to copy, distribute and/ or modify...". We could grant access for AP Images to appear on Wikipedia but could not allow our images to be copied, distributed or modified by any user of Wikipedia. Please let me know if you would have interest using our images under these terms.

Is that acceptable? What should I do? --Hyphen5 22:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Penrhos

Hi there. You recently contacted me regarding the Penrhos article. I can confirm that all the information within the article is correct. The reference to 'Military supremacy' is in accordance with the current factual weaponry statistics. We are currently experiencing a period of enduring peace and tranquility at Penrhos, rendering the weapons purely as a deterrent.

We appreciate the fact that there are very few other resources documenting the activities of Penrhos but as a non-commercial and selective organisation we have no need to publicise ourselves any further than the historical reference on Wikipedia.

Kind Regards,

GW Knight of Penrhos

original work and copyright issues

Hi, I just finished working on a biography of Abraham Serfaty (short bio available only on the french wikipedia), but I didn't save it yet as I really have no clue whatsoever on what they're talking about in the copyrights section (I need help understanding the copyrights' help section!!!), I don't know where to mention that this article is an original work and not copied from someone else, and if I need to mention that at all. Can you please help me? last question: should I nonetheless save the page, so you can have a look at it? Thanks --Angelikmeg 21:45, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

It's me again and I just saved the page by mistake. I meant to preview it as I just added links... Hope you get to see it before it gets deleted or worse, nominated for the grand prize of copyright issues. Let me know what you think about it. thanks, yours faithfully --Angelikmeg 21:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, it's in the translation archive now, thank you so much for your help and precious advices. I knew I could count on you! however, I didn't start the talk page for the article as the french version does cite the source, and since there is a link to the french version in the english version anyways, I thought it would only be a repetition. Thanks again --Angelikmeg 23:11, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

New bots proposal

Very interesting, it looks good to me. I took the liberty of telling everyone who was on IRC of your post as it doesn't seem like you've talk page messaged everyone yet. freakofnurture suggested a private wiki to discuss bots, I'm not sure if you're looking at consensus or individual "test" permissions but its an idea for the list :) -- Tawker 03:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Helpme!

Catholic Church. It has been a redirect to Roman Catholic Church for months, and there is a vote underway to change it to a disambig page. (But most editors have opposed it in the vote.) In the meantime, people have been preempting the vote, making a disambig page anyway, and there's basically a revert war going on. --Hyphen5 06:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. --Hyphen5 06:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

The consensus has already been established that Catholic Church and Roman Catholic Church are not synonymous. Protecting the page as a redirect makes the terms defacto synonymous. The discussion Hyphen5 refers to is whether to temporarily make it a disambig page, and in fact most editors have said either yes, or no rather merge the other three articles asap as per our earlier consensus. Why are you taking the minority opinion here? Fishhead64 07:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Commander Keane, could you please revert the protected Catholic Church article to this version? I do support the protect, but it seems the current version does not reflect consensus or policy. Please contact me if you require more details. [I'm not involved in the dispute. I visited the article since it's listed at the mediation cabal; I was asked to take a case and needed to know more of the process.] Thanks! AvB ÷ talk 08:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

There is a consensus. 15 editors opposed renaming "Roman Catholic Church" "Catholic Church" (compared to 5 in support). A redirect accomplishes the same purposes through the backdoor. In the second survey, five editors support a temporary disambig at Catholic Church, 3 oppose unconditionally, and 2 oppose because they want the merge done immediately. Moreover, Hyphen5 himself has said in Talk:Roman Catholic Church and Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-03-23_Roman Catholic Church that he supports the merge proposal. The consensus is clearly against a redirect. Fishhead64 08:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reasonableness about this matter. I'm hoping we find an amicable solution as well. Fishhead64 08:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hang on a minute! Why do you think there are not two sides to this story? That's exactly why you should protect Catholic Church. Fishhead is spinning the details. There has been a redirect from Catholic Church to Roman Catholic Church for months now. Recently, I proposed a move from Roman Catholic Church to Catholic Church. This failed, as Fishhead notes, by 15-5. But then Fishhead offered a compromise whereby Catholicism, Catholic, and One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church (which all contain redundant material) would all be merged into Catholic Church. I cautiously supported that, but I wanted to see the merges done before there was yet another redundant disambiguation page at Catholic Church. Anyway, the other day JzG went ahead and switched Catholic Church from a redirect to a disambiguation without consulting any other editor. Since then, there has been a revert war. Fishhead has put the issue (whether Catholic Church should be a disambig) up for a vote at Talk:Roman Catholic Church#Survey 2, and a majority opposes his and JzG's disambiguation page. That is why I reverted it to a redirect -- as was the status quo for months -- and asked you to protect it. The fact is, people didn't want to move Roman Catholic Church to Catholic Church because there are several denominations that claim to be "catholic" in nature. However, there is support for a redirect (and a disambiguation link at the top) because that recognizes the simple fact that the overwhelming majority of people who type in "Catholic Church" are looking for our article Roman Catholic Church. PLEASE protect the Catholic Church article as a redirect, as it has been for a very long time. There is an ongoing vote about this very issue, and it's not proper for them to be trying to preempt it. --Hyphen5 12:25, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I would appreciate a response. --Hyphen5 20:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Conversation with AvB

That applies to the original protection request. I think it would be best if you would visit the discussion at Talk:Roman Catholic Church and assess whether consensus has already been reached as indicated by me. If you think it hasn't, please attempt to resolve the dispute. I guess my real point is that this causes the temperature to rise even higher which is not conducive to the consensus process. Honoring my request is one solution, the other being your presence on the talk page to explain and to attempt to resolve the dispute. AvB ÷ talk 09:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Just a note to say the page is not listed at Wikipedia:List_of_protected_pages AvB ÷ talk 09:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. AvB ÷ talk 09:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

French dissambiguation in irony mark

Hi Commander,

I noticed that you did a bot dissambiguation on the newly-created article (or, rather, newly-translated) irony mark. I appreciate it, but I also noticed that you removed the French definition (with its subsidiary link to the fr counterpart). While I'm not adamantly opposed to this, I think I should let you know that I put that fr definition for a reason, and I would like to know your rationale for removing it.

I've noticed that articles in which an additional-language definition is important have included it in the first paragraph description (such as the articles on Canadian parliament and Canadian government offices, which always include the fr equivalent immediatelly after the en term is mentioned. In this case, the article on the irony mark is a direct translation of the fr article, and as such, the title itself is a translation of the subject of the article. As far as I know, there is no pre-existing en name for "point d'ironie, so that the translation that I've included is, in effect, akin to a neologism. Therefore, I believe that it is important to include the original fr terms, so that the linguistic roots of the en terminology may be apparent. I would like to re-post that definition, but would first like to hear your reasoning.

Thanks for your attention. Rod ESQ 05:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the restoration of the translation. I can see how the actual link to the fr article would contravene guidelines. I'm fine with the plain translation, sans fr link. Rod ESQ 06:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Help request in "welcome" messages

I noticed your observations on the talk pages of User:Rory096 and User:TBC to the effect that a "welcome" message left by each turned out to include "helpme" as a template; looking at the edit histories of the talk pages to which they posted their welcomes, it appears that, as here, ZsingjBot, using AWB, substituted the template, removing "code" "/code" syntax from the "helpme" and "four tildes" components of the welcome message. Perhaps Zsinj should be advised that AWB usage is disfavored on user talk pages and that, in any case, there are places at which templates are not meant to be fully expressed. Cordially, Joe 02:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: ZsinjBot

I'd love to discuss it. I've previously recieved a message from Jfingers88 stating me of the problem. I immediately stoped it's operation. After analyzing the problem edits, as noticed in the pause in the contributions, I then resumed ZsinjBot doing every edit manually. I might have been going too fast, hence the autoblock, for which I appologize. If there is anything else you would like to discuss, we can do it here on your talk page. --Zsinj^Talk 02:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hm, I intentionally did not tough the tl|. It must have been an accident on my part when I was going through the diffs. Thanks for catching that "screw up." --Zsinj^Talk 03:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I have since found and corrected my error. I would like your explicit permission to continue the bot, specifically on those pages which include the code it was wrongfully changing. Thanks. --Zsinj^Talk 03:18, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[2] and [3]: Successful edits on pages that include the tags. --Zsinj^Talk 03:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Deleton of Soviet (disambiguation)

I strongly oppose your move and subsequent deletion (un-disambiguation) of the Soviet (disambiguation) page. I hope you only intended this as a temporary measure.

I plan to create a new disambiguation page for Soviet. The present contents should be moved to Soviet (russian word) and Soviet redirected to Soviet Union.

Regarding Northrop Grumman

The problem is that Sarah crane and Henrik is what's based on their personal opinion and negative views of this company especially reading poorly sourced information and materials not even related to the subject. They don't know much about it and they keep pushing it forward insisting it's "correct" when in fact it is not thus resulting in a POV that is not acceptable. It's just as bad as the myth that people were pushing which claimed that the Pentagon admitted they called White Phosphorus "chemical weapons" in a HUMINT report when in fact two brothers thought it was chemical weapons.

Hi again. Things have gotten worse over at Wikipedia:Peer review/Northrop Grumman. I worked very hard on that article, and I've tried to be nice to everyone, but Izuko has accusing me of all sorts of things and deleting parts of the article he disagrees with.

Re: Username

Greetings Commander Keane,

You can't see into my mind...can you?!?!? It's actually very strange you mentioned my username as I found out about name changes a day or two ago and was thinking about changing my name. When I made my account, I wasn't fussy about my name and just started randomly typing (hence the reason only 3s, 4s, and 5s appear in my name). As it stands, I'm taking up your offer of changing my name to 334, but as I read the create account page, it says my name must have "a capitalized first letter". We'll see how things turn out.

Thanks, Keane -- that was what I needed (to know how to handle such situations, so I don't have to keep bothering you :-) The second case seems to be more clear, but my concern about the first is that it seems to be a case (???) of burying vandalism among changes that appear legit -- that is what was done on the TS page (see talk page [6]) Might need to be looked at in depth.

April 9, Robot-assisted disambiguation link repair:horror

Generaly a nice job on the disambig repair. I found quite a few role-playing games that you directed to the horror (video games) rather than the horror fiction article. Horror (video games) is just a redirect to horror fiction, I fixed all the ones I could find. — Asatruer 03:00, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I did the links to horror (video games) on purpose to facilitate the creation of an article in the future. I guess removing them doesn't do any harm.--Commander Keane 07:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

All of the articles that I fixed the horror link on were role-playing game articles, and not video game articles. So for future use a horror (video games) stand alone article would not be appropriate for these role-playing game articles to link to. — Asatruer 16:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Emergency bot shutoff button

Hi, I just noticed your posting about the autblock of the IP address. Presumably people know that this can cause a real problem - it actually happened to me on es.wiki recently. I was running a 'bot that did two passes over new redirects, the first to create them and the second to remove an artifact of the pywiki process. An admin objected to the way the redirects were looking after the first pass and blocked the 'bot (without any discussion) in mid-stream. That left me with no way to even contact him, let along continue the cleanup process. I had to create a new account which succeed in leaving one message on his talk page before it was auto-blocked also. Dlyons493 Talk 11:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

McKhan

Commander Keane, would you consider taking a look at McKhan's behavior on Talk:Al-Ahbash?Timothy Usher 05:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Timothy, Are you trying to get me banned? Didn't you just writ these lines: McKhan, I agree with your comment way back in the talk page, "However, Al-Ahbash / Habashies / AICP don't appreicate that nor the fact that if I will write that page according to my wishes, that page will NOT be somewhat NEUTRAL like the way Tearlach has written."Timothy Usher 02:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC) - McKhan

Your relentless personalization of discussions is unacceptable, as a glance through the page's history will show. It is also entirely inappropriate to say you've been watching my edit history and insinuate that you somehow know where I live or what I do. Finally, consider the content of the article as it stands. Everything I've seen from you in our brief period of contact constitutes an ongoing violation of several wikipedia policies.

The reason I wrote what you've just referenced is that it shows that you consciously and deliberately wrote the article in a non-neutral way (as if there was any doubt in any case).Timothy Usher 07:40, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I NEVER wrote the complete version of Al-Ahbash. Tearlach wrote it. All I did is to include that table and I invited all the knowledgeable parties to get involved. Lets be honest and fair here. I suggested to you many times, on the Talk page of Al-Ahbash, that please go and educate yourself about the subject (in this case: Al-Ahbash) before contributing to Wikipedia Islam-related pages. Rather taking my suggestion seriously and sincerely, you are simply trying to offer your arguments which constitutes to POVs under Wikipedia guidelines. And on the top of that, you are trying to get me banned which is NOT only inappropriate but also uncivil as you are trying to force your POVs over the POVs who are directly affected and have some know-how of the subject. As far as, the knowledge of your wherabouts is concerned, It was listed on your own User Page sometime ago. It is perfectly normal and legitimate to see through the History of Wikipedia pages. How does it constitue to violaiton of Wikipedia guidelines? Even the Administrators do that. And last but not the least, as far as Al-Ahbash is concerned, Tearlach's version, a NEUTRAL, non-Muslim and non-Al-Ahbash party, continues to meet the Wikipedia NPOV guidelines - than - Al-Ahbash / Habashies' partially and promotionally written version which does NOT only lack balance but also elminates all the contrary elements. It is disservice and blatant violation of Wikipedia NPOV-guidelines to support a partially and promotionally written version. McKhan

May I take your kind attention to this Request for Check User which is pertinent in due course. McKhan

213.84.3.14

A while ago you blocked User:213.84.3.14 as an open proxy (log). A user said it was stopping them from editing, so I unblocked it. They said it belongs to xs4all, a Dutch ISP. Could you re-check if it's an open proxy? I'll keep an eye on the IP's contribs in case it gets into mischief. I'd also like to know if you think my unblocking was ok, or if I should have asked first. Cheers, --Commander Keane 21:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

This is why I add to the block log, in a hidden field, more information about the open proxy. The reason for the block was http://213.84.3.14/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi, a nph-proxy CGI proxy. Since it's unreachable, it looks like it is not an open proxy anymore. Probably it was a home machine on a dynamic range, and the proxy either doesn't exist anymore or is elsewhere. You were correct on your unblocking (since it had a collateral effect, and was merely an open proxy, it's better to unblock first and ask questions later). There is no need to monitor the IP's contributions. --cesarb 22:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

If I can trouble you for a little Feedback

Hi again! Been a few busy weeks. I see you spend a lot of time with the newbie patrol.

• I'm having an informal sortof Pre-RFC on a rough article that just sort of happened.

Hmmmm not the best 'sounding' recommendation, but the 'rfc' is an attempt to be a collaboration on what direction to take an idea that's clearer to feel than to explain.

• Start By Reading This section Here, and then Arsenal of Democracy second. You can also cheat and see what others commenting are saying,
  or better yet, read the article then wade in.
• Since there is not ego involement, I called for help after all, all insights as to how it might be involved are greatly appreciated.
• If you abhor history- best to avoid the matter!

What tag do I put on an article if I feel the article requires more content so that somebody who has the information can add more.

Shijaz 18:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

If I could step in (as I was passing) - it depends on exactly what you are aiming at as there are a lot of different types of tags. You could just use the closest stub or drop in a verify tag if you think it needs sources. If you think there is an individual who might know more then drop by their talk page and drop them a note pointing towards the entry. Otherwise what I like to do is drop in a to do list on the entry's talk page outlining what I think would be needed to make it a good entry and thoughts on structure and the like. Then other people can drop in and kick ideas around and it might inspire someone with more informaiton to get cracking. (Emperor 14:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC))

Palo Monte, Palo Mayombe, amd Palo, Leyte

Commander keane, i left this message at the Palo Monte and Palo Mayombe pages, but i want to bring it to your attention here, as you seem to be a decisive and quick acting admin. If you check out the three pages, you will see what the poblem is. I first encountered it when i tried to add links to the page on Voodoo, in the section on Voodoo survivals in the Southern US. Here is what i wrote on the merge-discussion page:

I think that discussion is limited here due to the paucity of editors in this area and hence a lack of people interested in the matter. However, as an active editor in this area (African diasporic traditions), i would like to simply present a conclusive case that Palo Mayombe and Palo Monte should be merged and a disambiguation page or disambiguation links must be created to distinguish the two forms of Palo religion from the Palo, Leyte page. I urge that this be done as soon as possible, because i am working in a bunch of pages that should reference Cuban Palo religious traditions collectively, but i have so far been unable to make the links because i lack a firm, decided-upon place for those links to land. As a hopefully fluent writer, i cannot work up sentence structures that direct readers to both Palo Monte and Palo Mayombe, but directing them to Palo as a collective religion lands them in the Philippines. I suggest creating Palo (religion) containing the merged Monte and Mayombe texts and Palo (Leyte) for the city to fix the problem. SPEEDY resuloution by someone with administrative experience and skill is required. Thanks. I am also posting this to Commander Keane's talk page, as the Commander has been extremely helpful to me in the past. NOTE: As part of the proper names of these religions, both Monte and Mayombe should be capitalized. Catherineyronwode 18:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick help. I will work on writing a merged Monte and Mayombe article in the near future (this week) and will then return to you for help in coding the necessary redirects and such. I am not a code-head, just a writer, so please don't try to help me with "Handy Tips for Coding" just yet. I will pick up extra coding options as i go along. For now my main contribution will be writing. Thanks agin. Catherineyronwode 19:53, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Help with vandalism

I am currently having some problems with the User:Maior and the articles of Osbourn Park High School, James R. Gillespie, and Eric Baldovin. As I am new to wikipedia, I am unsure of exactly the proper measures to take in asking for assistance, so if posting on an admin page is not the general route users take please inform me. The user in question is continuously updating the three stated articles with false information. Most of these falsehoods stem from the information found upon the James R. Gillespie page. My latest update of the page is more or less a complete rundown of the events as they transpired. I felt, however, for reasons of privacy that the student's name should not be mentioned. The User: Maior is contiuously updating this page with a students name, which I took measures not to do, and, at the same time, that name is not the student in question. The same type of errors are being put on the Osbourn Park High School page and the Eric Baldovin page (which I feel should be deleted as it is completely false). Thank you for taking the time to help me with this problem. Iodyne 22:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

If external links are not allowed then why are there any there?

Thank you for the response and the guidelines. However I feel like I'm just not "getting it" because if External Links are not allowed, then why are there so many listed? Since you're an admin, why not just remove ALL the links? Why remove "just mine"?

Of course, "being an encyclopedia" is a pretty blanket statement, cause information has to come from "somewhere" unless you're Einstein... So what's the problem with providing people with MORE informational sources?

I searched a LONG time to find "free" tutorials in French... Just try Google and you'll see there are tons of places that are "commerical" but few Free resources. I think others using wiki as a starting point, might like to know where to get more information. And I think it would be "dense" of you to expect to replicate ALL the information on someone else's site!

And if you don't think people should learn French on Wiki - then why don't you hose the entire topic and the Russian page too? I've been there and there's ton's of stuff on the Russian language!

I'd rather see it "fair n square" then "elitist"... so it should be "all in" or "none"...

I await enlightment on this issue...

Ready for the Completion of the Palo (Monte, Mayombe, and Leyte) Change-Over

Hello again, Commander Keane.

I have integrated the entirety of the Palo mayombe (note dreadful and wrong lower case "m") article into the new Palo (religion) page. I have eliminated duplicated information, added new information, cleaned up the book references, and added an external link. (For the record, i am not a member of this religion, but i am a friend of Dr. Eoghan Ballard, the creator of inquiceweb.com, the external link i cited.)

The page now should read well, barring typos. Please look it over for me. If it passes muster in its new form, i would like to request the following further administrative changes. I will number them for convenience

• 1) Palo mayombe (lower case m) should just Go Away because its text has been placed in Palo (religion) and the lower case "m" was a mistake from in front.
• 2) Palo Mayombe (upper case M) should be created to function as a redirect to Palo (religion).
• 4) Regla de Palo should be created to function as a redirect to Palo (religion).
• 3) Kimbisa should be created to function as a redirect to Palo (religion).
• 5) Palo Monte should continue to redirect to Palo (religion) as it now does.
• 6) Category:Articles to be merged should be removed from the Palo (religion) cat list.

Thanks for your attention to this, and for allowing me to write for the WP. I am enjoying both the social and the intellectual aspects of the work.

This message is being duplicated at Talk:Palo (religion), so the history of the page can be understood by subsequent editors. :-)

I will answer here in case your IP address changes. In the English Wikipedia we generally don't link to French articles - becasue we don't expect anyone to know the French language. Also, at the bottom of Meteor (disambiguation) you will see [[fr:Météor (bière)]] which links to the article already. This link is visible in the In other languages language section (under the search bar on the right).--Commander Keane 18:57, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Could you come over to Talk:Heaven's Stairway, where Simonapro (talk · contribs) is removing signatures, making personal attacks, and violating the 3RR? The user has also reverted every change I've made to Heaven's Stairway (somewhere around 10 reverts so far) and has been informed of the 3RR on his user page. Furthermore, the article has been under attack since February 8 [11], so this behavior has been going on for some time. Anything you can do to put a stop to it would be appreciated.
