User:Donald Duck/Navbar

Hello! Welcome to my talk page!

Please feel free to to leave me a message, whether it's informing me of something
I screwed up, just to say hello, or anything else! I won't bite!

I have a few requests that I hope you'll respect while posting here:

First and above all, be civil.
- If you don't agree with an action I made—be it reverted you and left a warning, marked your page for deletion, or anything else—please be calm and polite. I am a reasonable man, and we'll straighten it out a lot quicker without screaming and name calling.
Please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)
Please start new conversations at the bottom.
I generally like to keep conversations together.
- If you post here, I'll reply here and leave you a message informing you of my reply.
- If I leave you a message on your talk page, I'll keep watching it, but if you want to make sure I notice it quickly, leave me a {{talkback}} template.
  - I always keep conversations together. If we separate the messages, no big deal, I'll probably go back and cross post here.

Since that is out of the way, please click here and leave a message!

AIV report

Regarding your AIV report, I don't think these contributions are vandalism. Problematic, perhaps, but not vandalism. Frank | talk 17:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mess up

This was actually an attempt to make things neater; it's much shorter. Frank | talk 17:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay. It only shows when one is editing, though, so it makes no difference when viewing the actual talk page. - Donald Duck (talk) 17:43, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite true; check out the difference between this and this. The first (with the little arrow icon) usually indicates either an external site or a diff. Frank | talk 17:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They're both the same link. - Donald Duck (talk) 17:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they are, but they look different on-screen. Users expect the first one, with the arrow, to point to a diff or an external site; the second one, with no arrow, is clearly meant to be an intra-wiki link. Again - it's subtle. No big deal. (And personally, I always try to type fewer characters if I can!) Frank | talk 18:02, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've still got no idea what you're referring to, but if you really want to help, be my guest. =)

- Donald Duck (talk) 18:06, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a clearer example, hopefully:

External	Internal
July	July

If you look on screen at what is printed below "external" and "internal" in the table above, the two pieces of text look different. The first one (external) has an arrow to the right of it, that usually indicates an external link or a diff. The second one is a "regular" link to an internal page on Wikipedia. There's another difference: if you hold your mouse over the two links, they behave differently. For example, the second one pops up a balloon right under the link when you hover over it; the first one doesn't. It is true that both go to exactly the same place, and that if you look in the status bar of your browser, the link will show the exact same for both, but the visual cue to the user is different between the two.

Does that explain it any better? Frank | talk 18:24, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does. Go ahead and feel free to fix all that up for me. =) - Donald Duck (talk) 18:57, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't necessarily need "fixing" but you now know another way which may be easier. Frank | talk 21:21, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please check to see if you meant to purposefully rollback this? NW (Talk) 19:23, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Kerela"

Hello. As you are undoubtedly aware, Kerela (or Kerala) as a word is foreign to the Latin alphabet, being written in Malayalam script originally. Therefore, the word can be romanised in different ways. The spelling Kerela is used by many people and companies; so it is justified to make this page a disambugation page. (Please see: [1][2][3]; many more examples available..) Infact, the "Kerela" in Mali does not even feature on the first five pages of Google Search! I hope you understand my stance; that it is only right for a disambugation page to be added. Indeed, it doesn't cause any harm at all.. --92.8.198.159 (talk) 20:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rv on my talkpage?

Thanks for watching my talkpage, but this probably isn't necessary, since I think this editor is contributing in good faith. Tim Vickers (talk) 19:15, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. However, that was a slip-up on my part. Sorry about that. - Donald Duck (talk) 19:48, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, keep up the good work. Tim Vickers (talk) 20:04, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Original Red Boyz

How is adding a db-spam tag considered an attack? 69.181.249.92 (talk) 01:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still waiting for a response... 69.181.249.92 (talk) 01:32, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Use of minor edit

Hi there. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Thanks, 117Avenue (talk) 14:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Miniature Mentor

Regarding your revert of Miniature Mentor and warning issued to the editor User:Taskmaster101, instead of reverting him for blanking the page, you should re-tag the article as {{db-author}} since he is the only author. Warning him about blanking his own page is also unnecessary. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:27, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Best (song)

A 'final warning' for a dispute over content? 90.207.105.117 (talk) 21:31, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see, perhaps you could explain why other editors removing content to do with this song did not receive 'final warnings' as well? Thanks, 90.207.105.117 (talk) 21:37, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to butt in, but I just gave a 3RR warning to the other editor in the edit war (Monkeymanman (talk · contribs)) at The Best (song). —C.Fred (talk) 21:39, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Language

Good evening, I wrote her a replica of the English as I can. So it complies with the rules? Mistery Spectre (talk) 21:51, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine. If English isn't your best language to work with, then just do the best that you can. - Donald Duck (talk) 21:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Taskmaster101

A new editor blanking a new article they've created is not a reason to issue a warning. Instead tag it with {{db-author}}. Kindly rescind the warning you left the editor. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 22:36, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm beginning to wonder if you ever admit to and/or correct mistakes you've made in warning editors. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 19:47, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of RJ Murray

How did my page attack an entity at all and if so what did it attack.(Mcmaster108 (talk) 03:22, 6 August 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Sorry

those were accidents —Preceding unsigned comment added by MetalShark (talk • contribs) 00:11, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What page did I vandalize?

You said: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3aLow-alcohol_beer?diff=378447582 was vandalising? How is it vandalising? I consider it relevant and would like contributers to explain to me how it isn't. 71.51.50.38 (talk) 23:35, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:PN. - Donald Duck (talk) 23:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't post random characters (like asdfghjkl) and I'm pretty sure what I posted was fairly staightforward. But I'm glad (sarcasm) that my contributions have been called Patent Nonsense by another contributer. That didn't answer my question. I seriously want someone to answer why it is that people think religious people can't drink alcohol. It was a question that I had hoped would be answered by a quick link to a section of the article, but I wasn't. My english isn't the best so maybe that's why people think it's nonsense. But I guess I'm not welcome in an english encyclopedia. 71.51.50.38 (talk) 23:46, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reversions at Moorish Science Temple of America

Hi, the MSTA article is one I have on my watchlist, and I noticed your recent reversions of massive inappropriate material by User:Moorishscience7. I totally agree that the info needs to remain out of the article, but I don't think the templated Huggle messages to the user are helping. I can completely understand why a new user would be trying to add this information, because I'm sure that it seems to them to be important information that the world "needs to know." Of course, the problem is that WP isn't the place for soapboxing, or however we want to describe these edits. But I think someone needs to explain this to him/her (in non-templated form). I would be happy to do so myself, but I don't want to go to his page and make it sound like I'm just contradicting you. Do you think you might be willing to make some sort of explanation, or, if you prefer, let me do it? Qwyrxian (talk) 23:43, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, go for it. - Donald Duck (talk) 23:45, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Computer 2000"

Please feel free to delete this page. I blanked it as my comment was posted there in error. Fiedorczuk (talk) 17:07, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page for user HHHH.

Hey, why did you revert a change I made to the talk page in correspondence to Wikipedia guidelines when requesting to usurp a user? I will add the notification ({subst:usurpation requested}) again otherwise I will not be even considered for the usurpation. --Hellahulla (talk) 13:26, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RE: 18.09.2010 Yakuts article edition

The article was renamed without vandalising intends. A proposal to rename it was on the article's discussion page for more than a year. Please revert your reversion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.49.163.21 (talk) 06:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
