The picture is taken in the pier, what's wrong with it? Gordon, J. G. (talk) 17:16, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's a picture of a fan and it's too large. I don't believe it contributes to the page at all.--BarsofGold (talk) 17:18, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So, where's the standing fan in the picture? I don't see it. Gordon, J. G. (talk) 17:21, 11 August 2014 (UTC)}[reply]

What? You can clearly see it is a picture of a fan.--BarsofGold (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The picture is taken inside the pier. When you said fan, are you referring to standing fan? Gordon, J. G. (talk) 17:25, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well it looks like a fan on the ceiling to me.--BarsofGold (talk) 17:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's just a background, the picture is to show a vaulted ceiling. Gordon, J. G. (talk) 17:28, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That may be but there is still the issue that the image is to large and doesn't really improve the page.--BarsofGold (talk) 17:34, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Image could be shrunken. Gordon, J. G. (talk) 17:36, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For info: I have indef. blocked User:Gordon J. G for block evasion. He's been posting this photo all over the place today. —SMALL JIM 19:30, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok thank you for telling me. I will keep an eye out for it in the future.--BarsofGold (talk) 19:51, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

How are you doing? Vvvgcfff (talk) 04:32, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I am very good thank you. --BarsofGold (talk) 04:33, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you like my edits? Vvvgcfff (talk) 04:35, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well that is a difficult question. Your edits all seem to be made in good faith but I don't dislike them.--BarsofGold (talk) 04:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And did you like the picture I added? There weren't pictures of recessed light so I added one. Vvvgcfff (talk) 04:41, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Are you the person who keeps using multiple accounts to insert pictures of fans to articles?--BarsofGold (talk) 04:44, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, no! I'm very new here! I just couldn't take a clear picture of light. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vvvgcfff (talk • contribs) 04:46, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but I am not at all convinced by that. I have already had to deal with about 4 of them and it's starting to annoy me.--BarsofGold (talk) 04:51, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Which users? Vvvgcfff (talk) 04:54, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well I can't remember all of their names but one of the accounts is listed above talk page section. All the accounts doing the similar behaviour as you all seemed to be operated by the same person.--BarsofGold (talk) 04:58, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Mark Petrakis article

Lambrini Papangelis here. I copied the Harry Mark Petrakis article from my Sandbox and pasted into the current Wikipedia article "Harry Mark Petrakis." Since that article was only one paragraph long, I figured mine was better. But now when I go to that article, all I find is the old, one-paragraph article. BarsofGold, I made a lot of changes. Is my work lost? Can you retrieve it for me? I mean the content I tried to replace the old article with. Is my work lost? Lambrini Papangelis (talk) 05:19, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I understand that you were trying to improve the article but your version needed a lot of cleaning up and could not be left there. If you want to see it again just look at the page history and click on difference between revisions.--BarsofGold (talk) 05:26, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BarsofGold, the reason my article needed a lot of cleaning up is that when I tried to replace the old HMP article with it, all kinds of things disappeared! Like, for example, all the italics of the book titles. I had to put them back. It took a long time. I had to clean up other things, too, for instance adding about 100 line breaks. Please, BarsofGold: if I make my Sandbox copy perfect, will you mount it for me?Lambrini Papangelis (talk) 06:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have put a link on your talk page to something called the Teahouse. It is a place for new users to ask questions to experienced editors about how to edit. I recomend you seek advice there. Happy editing!--BarsofGold (talk) 10:00, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BoG: If a new editor's work needs "cleaning up", please do so (as I have now done), instead of removing it, and doing so with no meaningful edit summary, nor talk page explanation until prompted. Please` think how your would feel, if your contributions to a new project were treated like that. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:35, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NEW INFORMATION, 11:30 a.m. Central, OCT. 19, 2014 Dear Andy,

Harry Mark Petrakis's new (2014) autobiography has been published. It is titled "Song of My Life" and I have added numerous bibliographic citations from it to the "Harry Mark Petrakis" article. Please approve them. Thank you! Lambrini Papangelis ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lambrini Papangelis (talk • contribs) 16:30, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Halo 4

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Halo 4 you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jaguar -- Jaguar (talk) 20:21, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Halo 4

The article Halo 4 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Halo 4 for things which need to be addressed.

Thanks

Thanks for welcoming me to Wikipedia! Hope to talk to you sometime soon, (HEROBRINEROXTHEWORLD (talk) 04:42, 18 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]

That's ok I hope you enjoy editing here.--BarsofGold (talk) 04:46, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question related to WikiProjects

Hi BarsofGold, thanks for warm welcome! I have a question regarding the creation of new WikiProjects. I've created a proposal regarding esports and I am convinced there are others who would like to contribute to this sort of project. However, the list of people who are actively involved in the discussion/voting process of the creation of new WikiProjects seems to be limited. I would like to know if there is a place to ask/recruit others who might be interested in the contributing to the creation/development of this WikiProject. The reason I'm asking you is because I wouldn't like to come off as rude by asking people in the wrong places. Would the talk page of WikiProject Video Games be an appropriate place? -- Solomonarius (talk) 06:10, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. It may take some time for people to notice new projects and join them. I think it would be a good idea to post your idea on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games to get some feedback from other users who edit gaming related articles.--BarsofGold (talk) 06:33, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your rollback request

Hi BarsofGold, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism, spam and blatantly unconstructive edits; using it to revert any other type of edit - such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with - can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, as some admins do not warn if they become aware of any rollback misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, you should use a manual edit summary instead of the rollback tool. For practice, you may wish to review Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 22:16, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very muck!--BarsofGold (talk) 22:22, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"local churches..." In considered undoing the recent deletion, but I saw that most of that text duplicated the previous paragraph. MaynardClark (talk) 03:04, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shakti Mohan

I removed the deletion request because it was kept for deletion when there was no references to the information given but the references are now added. Thank you. Would mention the reason in summary when I make changes! :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.101.67.11 (talk) 04:00, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. An administrator will take a look at the page and decide wether to keep or delete the page.--BarsofGold (talk) 04:07, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks 175.101.67.11 (talk) 04:48, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

how can i upload images — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aditya pujari sagar (talk • contribs) 04:33, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not exactly sure. I recommend you ask at the Teahouse. The Teahouse is were you can ask questions to experienced editors.--BarsofGold (talk) 04:39, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Halo 4

Hey, just wondering if you're planning to do the review soon? I can put it on hold for longer if you need more time? I think all that needs addressing now are a few prose issues but the references are a slight larger problem. Anyway, please let me know! Regards ☠ Jaguar ☠ 21:50, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I'm still going to work on it. I've just been having difficulties doing the references because I'm using a tablet. I may have to remove the dead links and re-add them when I get my computer back again. I don't think it needs to be put on hold for a longer time though.--BarsofGold (talk) 22:00, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, I understand how awkward it can be using a tablet (or any touch screen really) for Wikipedia! Let me know if you need any more time at all. ☠ Jaguar ☠ 22:09, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just letting you know that I closed the GAN as I thought you were too busy to handle it. But don't worry, let me know as soon as you're ready again and I can speedily review it? All that needs addressing are the references and the prose in the lead - not a huge deal! Thanks, ☠ Jaguar ☠ 19:55, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I have written the report there. Thank you...149.140.10.166 (talk) 06:35, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's ok.--BarsofGold (talk) 09:21, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to your message

Sorry I did not follow protocol. The text I removed was redundant -- the same sentence appeared twice. You might want to doublecheck what you restored -- I don't remember what the page was. Thanks!

Your GA nomination of Halo 4

The article Halo 4 you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Halo 4 for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.
