Hey, that page, Magic4224, is just a joke a will probably just be deleted in possibly a matter of minutes. I really don't care though...just saying.BackspaceCloud 22:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care, it should never have been created in the 1st place, adding nonsense is considered vandilism and will result in you being blocked if you carry on creating nonsense articles RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 22:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't create it...magic4224 did. Blame him.

Your signature

Please shorten your sig. In markup, it's incredibly long; in fact, it's probably the largest sig I've ever seen. It could potentially make it very hard to edit a page when eight lines of text are taken up by a signuatre. Thanks. -- Kicking222 22:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your the second person in a day to say that, its only long because my names so long! On a serious note, I'm planning to sit down in the next few days and create a new shorter one. Sorry for any problems RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 22:43, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Much appreciated. I honestly enjoy the coloring of your name- I love the alternation- but it's simply very long in terms of markup. Have a good night! -- Kicking222 22:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Half as long = twice as good! Bravo. I have one issue, which I know is very, very pedantic: "let's" should have an apostrophe. If you prefer it as "lets", or if this was intentional, then completely disregard this comment. (It's picky as hell, but my mother was an English teacher, so blame her!) -- Kicking222 16:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for your comments and I've added an apostrophe just for you! As you can probably tell, I'm a Pharmacology student and not an English one, but guess we should always get grammer right on Wikipedia!! RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 16:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not at all an English student- my majors are Math and Econ- but I do love copyediting. It's just in my blood, I guess. -- Kicking222 19:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Whispers "grammar" ;-) Tonywalton  | Talk 19:40, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad the new signature is short in code. However, it is a bit long in actual length. However, it is a great improvement over the other one. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 22:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Translations of one page

Hi, I would like to have the save an amazon rainforest page translated into different languages... i tried to manually do that... but it now says it is not in english and will be deleted?!

Please advise :-) Thank you,

Basically you can only have english articles on english wikipedia. There are loads of different wikipedias in different languages, so if you want to add the page in different languages, it has to be on the wikipedia for that particular language. To be honest, it would be far easier just to leave it in english, unless you can be bothered to register with every single language wikipedia that you want to put it on. However if you do want to put it on I'd suggest looking at this as it has a lot of the most comon language wikipedias on RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 10:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ryan. I see you've tagged Risparmi l'organizzazione del Amazon Rainforest as {{db-notenglish}}, which puts it in category WP:CSD#A2. Since that category is for "Foreign language articles that exist on another Wikimedia project" could you let me know which other project it exists on? I'd assumed it would be the it Wikipedia but l'organizzazione del Amazon Rainforest comes back as "no such page". If your intention was just to tag it as "delete this as it's not in English" please note that WP:CSD says: "If the article in question does not exist on another project, the template {{notenglish}} should be used instead." The instructions in the notenglish tag request that the page be added to WP:PNT for translators to take alook at it. Regards, Tonywalton  | Talk 14:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. i just read the above from Kellyanne. Perhaps she needs to know about WP:PNT and the like! Tonywalton  | Talk 15:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It should be tagged {{notenglish}} and added to WP:PNT. I'll do the necessary and have a word with Kellyanne. Cheers, Tonywalton  | Talk 15:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers, I've been trying to help her out with all the edits as shes new to wikipedia, I even tried adding it to italian wikipedia but it was subsequently deleted (I think!) RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 15:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Doing it now. I've pointed Kelly at Wikipedia:Translation as well. Tonywalton  | Talk 15:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a million, sorry if I messed it up!RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 15:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No probs. I don't envy Kelly, registering with ever-such-a-lot of Wikipedias! (Whatever did happen to the mythical "single sign-on"?) Tonywalton  | Talk 15:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Already blocked by someone else. They're quick on the draw round here! Tonywalton  | Talk 15:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. I misread the log. Blocked now for a week. Tonywalton  | Talk 15:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Brilliant - looks like we're both safe for a week then :) Thanks again RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 15:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, good grief. Thanks for the revert. I get the feeling they'll get bored with this before we do. Tonywalton  | Talk 17:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was just writing to you!!! I'm going insain with him, can feel another block coming along! RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 17:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Bigegossmallminds is blocked. I await his next sockpuppet account with interest… Don't bother going insane with him, just sigh with exaggerated patience and WP:AIV him. Cheers, Tonywalton  | Talk 17:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good work

Keep it up. Agathoclea 23:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers! Same to you - We'll double team them tonight - no nonsense pages or rubish bands will get through tonight!! RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 23:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ghaffar masomi

Hello, I have WP:SALTed the article about Ghaffar masomi. I will check the user contributions and block if necessary. In the meantime, please consider shortening your signature, it is over three times the maximum of 200 characters that is suggested at the guideline. Thank you! -- ReyBrujo 01:37, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks, a lot of people over the past few days have mentioned my sig, I'm sitting down this week sometime and sorting it out, sorry for any inconvenience its causing at the min RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or lets have banter 01:38, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hey

creating an article about my frat which has 4 active chapters, new to wikipedia so it going to take me some time to fix it up.

21 Demands

They mightn't be new, but they are relevant. If Jade Goody can have a page (bad example, but I dont know anyone else who's been in Big Brother), they should too. Hello, by the way. I'm Kevin. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Admiral K (talkcontribs) 23:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

What do you do all day??

Do you just go around contesting other people's contributions. I do not see the problem with allowing this page to stay. It helps raise awareness for those with celiac sprue. I would like to see you handle the situation of not being able to digest gluten. I can't believe you would crush victims of this disease in this manner. You must be one horrible person. Maybe you should delete all pages that reference cancer as well... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.107.226.133 (talk) 23:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I shouldn't really reply to a pathetic message like that but I will.......... They Fail WP:MUSIC, end of RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 23:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relevancy?

If you take it upon yourself to seek and delete pages you deem as "irrelevant" (which, I might add, can be a noble endeavor), how can you justify having a page about yourself? Are you that important? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.65.194.150 (talk) 01:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

See WP:USER as to why I can have a page about myself i.e. a userpageRyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 01:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

?

Do you have a job, or do you make a living by being a little bitch?

Would you care to explain??? Left you a final warning on your talk page RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 01:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I would appreciate very much your help. Iam new to wikipedia as an editor, even if I am an old internet user. Such, I find it hard to understand the tags and how I should explain it better in a more objective mode.
