Thanks

Thank you for your recent vandal reverts on my user page. You seem to know your way around Wikipedia quite well for a new user ;-) κaτaʟavenoTC 02:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

You're quite welcome. I've been editing for a while but only just recently registered, and the Twinkle and Friendly tools make RC Patrol really, really easy! Ashanda (talk) 02:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

HI!

Thank you so much, I wrote Cacua language in like 4 minutes. Look at my user page I have been writing articles for lots of native language since a lot aren't covered but episodes of TV shows are! So I just started to look them up on Ethnologue one by one. I want to cover all of South America and we'll see how it goes after that. I have also translated a few into Spanish but its kinda hard especially how the infobox is much more complicated over there. I have also added the infobox to any languages that don't have one that I have come in contact with. Have any advice? Maybe you could rearange the sentences for me, I don't think I do a good job of that or of naming the sections. I don't know what the standards are like and the guides on here are very convoluted and longgggggggg and jardon ridden. haha. cheers, Troy.Latinlover-sa (talk) 04:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there's much for me to fix on the articles you've created, they all look like pretty good starts to me! For obscure subjects there is often only one reliable source to be found, but if you can find more, that would be great. You may also be skirting close to original research by synthesis, but your conclusions seem pretty uncontroversial so it's hard for me to tell especially since I'm not a linguist by any means! Keep it up, the encyclopedia needs more hard science articles to balance out the pop culture stuff. Happy editing! Ashanda (talk) 04:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

The Berne Trial

Nice, very, very, nice picture on your home page.

  • I still cannot believe that you are here only since April 21, 2008! Tell me it's not true.
  • The above matter is what Urs Luthi is supposed to be the world's greatest authority on. Can you find a way to prove it? --Ludvikus (talk) 09:14, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
In the interest of keeping the discussion in one place, I shall reply to this along with your other points at your own talk page. Ashanda (talk) 09:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Revisionism & Historical revisionism

I wish to Wikipedia:Move the former into the latter! Lets talk first here (since it's a new topic). I'm willing to discuss with you this objective here, if you wish. But I think it's much better to do so on the main talk page(s) of the article. So let me know first here how you wish to proceed. --Ludvikus (talk) 19:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

But in brief, let me say that I cannot move the the Latter into the Form! Sorry! --Ludvikus (talk) 19:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I cannot do it because the former is currently Wikipedia:Occupied (by an orphaned REDIRECT page). --Ludvikus (talk) 19:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, you could have done the move yourself... until you made a second edit to Revisionism after you did the page move. The software allows non-administrators to move pages over redirects only so long as the redirect only has one entry (it's creation) in it's history, see Help:Moving a page#Moving over a redirect for details. At this point you'll have to get an administrator to perform the move for you, and I suspect that since we're talking about a major article that they'll require consensus before doing so. I'll happily chip in my own opinion to the discussion you have started on the article talk page in question, though I'll reformat it in accordance with the procedure described at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves. Cheers! Ashanda (talk) 20:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • OK. You did the easy stuff. No tell me this - you say I could have done the move myself. So I messed up by talking (ti myself no doubt) on a talk page. That being so an Administrator should consider that and Move the page for me. Now could you please contact an administrator in my behalf? I do not know that procedure. You would be very helpful explaining that "I could have done it all myself." If that's so, there should be no problem. Please contact an administrator in my behalf. --Ludvikus (talk)
  • But also, what's the Tag for Splitting an Article? Is there one? I think there is. If so, can you tag that on for me? Thanks.--Ludvikus (talk) 20:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
No, it was nothing you wrote on a talk page that prevented you from being able to perform the page move, rather it was the fact that made any edits to Revisionism after you did the page move. As it is explained at Moving over a redirect, a page can only be moved over a redirect if the redirect's page history only has a single entry. After you moved Revisionism to Revisionism (disambiguation), the page had such a single entry history; once you made an edit to Revisionism, however, you made it impossible for a non-administrator to perform the move you're requesting. As for contacting an administrator for you, I have already started the process by placing a listing at Requested moves and starting the discussion on the article's talk page.
Yes, there are several templates one can use to tag an article for potential splitting. They're listed at Wikipedia:Template messages/Merging and splitting. Unfortunately I'm not clear on what article you want to split.Ashanda (talk) 21:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • I promissed myself to take a break, but curiosity got the better of. I just finished a meal and am going to go far away from my PC for at least several hours - taking a break is good and even often necessary.
  • In the mean time I want to say thank you so much. It can be frustrating working alone. So it's nice to find some co-operation - as you are demonstrating.
  • Also, I'm going to hold off on Tagging for Splitting because I want to see what happens with the Moves. Also, with the {{fact}} Tags, as well as with Cleanup Tags which I'll Tag before I leave.
Cheers! --Ludvikus (talk) 22:00, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Before I leave - let me bring to your attention that the Merge Tag clearly states the alternative - ... Article or a Section .... That's how I used the Tag - Sections should be merged into one another. I did not specify which, however. When I'm gone, please notice how much these developed articles require your editing work - much harder to do, though, than my Stub - as I'm sure you realize. I hope you look carefully at how much un-referenced statements are being made there - and act accordingly. By now! --Ludvikus (talk) 22:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

John S. Curtiss

Can you help - in this related item? Can you finish the tagging , names & universities? There's a notability challenge there too - but it's much easier to do & finish. Thanks! Ludvikus (talk) 18:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're asking me to do. I could do some cleanup and tagging, but I'm not sure you'd appreciate the results...--Ashanda (talk) 18:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I would. Use your best discression. I only oppose Strongly the non-notability Tag. The other issues are minor. I want to keep the ALL CAPS - because I'm really kind of Quoting directly from the book - which I happen to own and have in front of me. Then I want to keep the Tags in blue to emphasize notability. Finally, the Red should also stay because these are all notable historians neglected by WP. But I only feel Stronly, like I say, on the notability issue. So I trust your judgment on the rest. Ludvikus (talk) 19:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Herbert Baxter Adams Prize

I messed up on this REDIRECT. There are apparently 3 prized named the Adams Prize. See if you can fix things please. Also undo my redirect without an Administrator. THNX. Ludvikus (talk) 19:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I see nothing wrong with the redirect, unless you want to have it deleted or you want the pages swapped. I've added a disambiguation hatnote to the article and will be reformatting the dab page you've created. In general, disambiguation isn't needed until an actual article is created, though. --Ashanda (talk) 19:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I'll deal with that later. Now check this Adams Prize (disambiguation) out (I just created it). Ludvikus (talk) 19:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Already did, and already reformatted it. --Ashanda (talk) 19:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Good work! Finally I really feel like I'm not working alone. I do not not want to spend time on these prizes - it interests me not. So if you can deal with, fine. I want to move on to my main interests. Ludvikus (talk) 19:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

For your good work & cooperation I give you my acknwoldgement!

Ludvikus (talk) 20:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

That's your privilege. I never saw the hangon tag, evidently the deleting admin decided not to pay attention to it due to the copyright issues involved. Ashanda (talk) 20:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
You are right on that. And I see that therefore I cannot blame you for that mistake. However, it is what I consider your recless tagging which cause this problem in the 1st place. Also, I think you are absolutely mistaken in merely changing the official name of the prize by turning its Capital "P" into a small one like so: "p." I cannot understand your justification for that. My "x" was not misleading - like what we have now. Ludvikus (talk) 21:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

For the work you have done now, I decided to give you back the award I gave you above. After reconsideration, I think you acted in Good Faith and that the Speedy Deletion was probably inadvertant on your part.Ludvikus (talk) 23:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diligence
I award you this Barnstar for your work on the Adams Prize articles. Ludvikus (talk) 23:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Regarding the Red Links - do not assume that these named historians are non-notable just because their names are in Red. I think that just because Wikipedians have not researched them. Why don't you surf the Web with Google and see if you can start a Stub on some of them? --Ludvikus (talk) 07:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
So you can do the same thing to them that you did to the one I wrote up yesterday? Uh, no thanks. Ashanda (talk) 10:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Kaidan

Hello, I wish to help with the whole "Kaidan/Kwaidan" issue. I'd like to suggest that we relable the beginning part Kaidan (alt. Kwaidan) (not the title) as Kwaidan was the older spelling and not just a mistake by Lafcadio Hearn. This is only an idea, and I just wish to help because it seems the issue is quite oppinionated. Yojimbo501 (talk) 19:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I believe you are referring to this edit of mine. I really have no opinion on which spelling is to be preferred. My reason for reverting was that the title of the article shouldn't be different from how the subject is referred to in the article; although alternative spelling should be addressed in the introductory sentence. If the consensus of the regular editors of the page is that the other spelling is to be preferred, then the page should be moved to the new title along with changing the spelling within the article. Thanks for your note! —Ashanda (talk) 19:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree we souldn't have defering spellings inside an article already labelled as something. I also think Kaidan is probably the most appropriate spelling, as it appears to be the more well known English and Japanese spelling. But, I'm not a linguist and I think I'd need to contact someone who has good Japanese to see what to put down. Thanks for your opinion. Yojimbo501 (talk) 20:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I have added the alternative transliteration to the introductory sentence per your suggestion. You may note also that the origin of the spelling differences is addressed further along in the article. Cheers! —Ashanda (talk) 20:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, I would've done it myself, but I was waiting to see if people thought it was a good idea. I hope this goes well with everyone. Yojimbo501 (talk) 23:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

No problem. If you need any help concerning rollback (or anything else) my talk page is always open. Rudget (Help?) 16:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Leopard Gecko

As clearly stated in the discussion page I cleaned up the links as there were a ton and liked to that site which has Info on the leopard gecko species and also links to all those sites on that page . I checked the linkage guidelines and It is in agreement with my proposition .Pagosapunk (talk) 21:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that is why I didn't restore the links you deleted, however your forum is also not appropriate so I unlinked it as well. If you think a link to your forum should be on that page or any other, you should bring the subject up on the article's talk page. Thank you for your note and for your understanding. —Ashanda (talk) 22:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

First of all it is not my forum I have just visited it many times . why is it unappropiate ? I agree I may have mass promoted it at first but the forum does support leopard gecko,Tokay gecko and creasted gecko species . There are many well educated individuals there and the site links to many sites on those topics . PLease allow the link to at least stay in those 3 catigories as It was already in the tokay one for quite some time (probably a year or more) and was not removed until you did today . Pagosapunk (talk) 22:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Bring up the subject on the articles' talk pages. If the regular editors of the articles think the link is appropriate, then of course it may be kept. —Ashanda (talk) 22:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

what was your reson in removing the tokay gecko link ? Its has been there for a very long time —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pagosapunk (talk • contribs) 22:11, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

The length of time it was there is irrelevant, web forums typically aren't allowed under the external links guideline. I'll say again, if you want to have the link on the page, bring the issue up to the regular editors of that page on its talk page. —Ashanda (talk) 22:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

why is http://www.gekkonids.info constantly linked on all gecko wiki pages ?Pagosapunk (talk) 22:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm no expert, but my guess would be because it's a non-commercial/no-ads site with plenty of information that wouldn't fit into one of our articles. If you think that it's inappropriate, you may bring that up on article talk pages too. —Ashanda (talk) 22:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Its the exact same as http://www.geckofile.top-site-list.com except it is commercial because it is sponsered by a very popular crested gecko breeder . He did the same thing I did with gecko File just with that site and no one deleated it . this doesn't seem fair to me . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pagosapunk (talk • contribs) 22:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

If you bring it up on the articles' talk pages, and other people knowledgeable on the subject agree with you that the links are not appropriate, than I will be happy to assist in removing them. —Ashanda (talk) 22:34, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Like I told you most of us ony check wikipedia yearly to make sure its all the right info . and we link to forums like that to assist newcomers more . But after looking through artical history I came across this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/76.91.31.26 he did the same thing I did for the same reason I did (to help new herpers) please allow both of our links to stay on all the pages as they are helpful and if not then please remove all his like you did mine . Thank You Pagosapunk (talk) 22:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Upon closer examination of that site, I see that it is a web-forum, even if it doesn't have banner ads and such. I'll be taking it down from the articles too. Thanks for pointing it out to me. —Ashanda (talk) 22:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

thank you . Can i ask you to please check on all gecko topics on wikipedia at least once a month to fix things like this ? expecially leopard,day,creasted and tokay gecko. It would be of great help as no one else does it and stuff like this happens all the time . Pagosapunk (talk) 22:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

The pages are all on my watchlist now, but I can't promise I'll catch stuff as I'm not on all the time. —Ashanda (talk) 22:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I am going to be placing gecko file links on the tokay ,leopard and creasted gecko pages as no one has a problem with it . if a problem arises I will remove them until it can be solved . Pagosapunk (talk) 22:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, since you asked on the appropriate talk pages and no objections were raised. Happy editing! —Ashanda (talk) 01:59, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

also all geckos herpers dont spend much time on wikipedia . look at the last edits . they date back to 2007 . By giving a link to a forum it gives newcomers a page where newer info is and helps them better in the long run .Pagosapunk (talk) 22:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to debate the guidelines, thank you. —Ashanda (talk) 22:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Naijapals

Hi, thanks for your effort in improving my writeups, i noticed that you marked the Naijapals article for speedy deletion, may i know why it qualifies for this? i am not too versatile with using wikipedia as a matter of fact i just discovered this is the way to exchange messages with users. Will be glad to know more on the guidelines and what we can do to improve my articles, am a technology savvy African and am looking to create more articles (related to web 2.0 in African Nations) once i get from free time.

Hope to hear from you soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samuelodofin (talk • contribs) 22:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your note. The article doesn't conform to the relevant notability guideline. Click that link to see the guideline and what it is you need to do to bring it up to par. Thanks. —Ashanda (talk) 23:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Search box position

Hi! Since you participated in the last discussion about where the "search" box should be located, I wanted to let you know that I've started another thread on the topic at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Move the search box directly beneath the puzzle globe. —Remember the dot (talk) 03:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I have added my thoughts to the discussion. —Ashanda (talk) 01:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Would you object if I got more editors into the discussion by posting a link at the Community bulletin board? —Ashanda (talk) 21:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Not at all. In fact, that sounds like a very good idea. —Remember the dot (talk) 21:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Then I will. Thanks! —Ashanda (talk) 21:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

reply

I've seen users who get 3 or 4 welcomes. I usually just add one to a new user's talk page. Sometimes if there's already one, I add another one (which you already know). Just become a habit of mine. :) Burner0718 Jibba Jabba! 18:39, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, I suppose.
The reason I leave welcome templates is to give people the links to the help and policy pages more than just to simply welcome them- I even give them to vandals ({{subst:welcomevandal}} & {{subst:welcome-anon-vandal}}) in hope that they'll "go forth and sin no more". I'd leave a personal blurb of welcome and thanks if they already had a template- something like, "Hi! Nice job on the Foo article! I really like how you described the inventor's intentions. Welcome and keep up the good work!" I figure they've already got the navigational links, so a personal bit of encouragement and praise can mean a lot.
That's my two cents anyways. Cheers! —Ashanda (talk) 19:00, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
I do that occasionally. Annarox94 added 3 or 4 spam links to my talk page to vandalize it after you placed the welcome on her talk page. But that's a good idea, I should do it more often. Have a great day! Burner0718 Jibba Jabba! 19:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Good work!

My recent edits

Hi my recent edits on the el salvador page and academia britanica cuscatleca were contributions not advertising.

The Geogon site is a wiki about el salvador created at our school which is the academia britanica cuscatleca here in el salvador.This is the reason I added the links to the two pages.

I would appreciate it being left at the very least on the page about the school.

thanks

mrsjgarcia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrsjgarcia (talk • contribs) 23:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for writing, Mrs. Garcia. I removed the link because it appeared to be a class project site of some kind due to the "Year 7" and "Year 8". As such, it would not be appropriate for either article under our external links guideline. If it is something else than what I assume, then you need to explain what it is in the articles where you place it, otherwise it is just a meaningless link. Something like:
  • geogon, El Salvador geography wiki
A link like that could be a useful addition to articles. Be sure, however, to put the link into *External links* sections and not in *References* sections. I hope this has addressed any concerns you may have had. Please feel free to ask me any more questions that may be on your mind. —Ashanda (talk) 23:43, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Military College of Signals page edit

With all due respect, you have just turned a very nice page into just rubbish. Why have you edited this page?? Abdul Haseeb (talk) 03:34, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for writing. All the sections I removed were word for word duplications from the college's website, my edit summaries make note of the relevant URL for each section. Wikipedia has a very strict copyright policy, such violations are not allowed and are to be removed on sight. You may certainly reconstruct the article, but you need to paraphrase your sources rather than copying and pasting from them. While you're at it, you might find some secondary sources rather than just the college's website. Articles are required to cite information from reliable sources to verify their information and prove the notability of the subject; articles that don't do this may be deleted. I hope I have addressed your concerns. Please feel free to come back with any other questions you may have. —Ashanda (talk) 05:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello Ashanda - I just wanted to say (albeit a little later than I had hoped to) thank you for the lovely welcome you gave me when I started with Wikipedia in April. I have kept it on my homepage and often refer to it. It was lovely to have such a greeting... VincenzoMc (talk) 20:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

You are quite welcome. Happy editing! —Ashanda (talk) 22:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Nell Newman

Hi there! Thanks for helping to fix up and expand the Nell Newman article. I would ask you to please cite the sources you're using for information so that problem can also be fixed. I'm going to be replacing the {{orphan}} tag since the usual cutoff for the orphanage is three or more incoming links. Thanks again for your help! —Ashanda (talk) 23:59, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Cut in the reference for the two quotes, apparently, while you were typing to me... it will take time to assemble some of the others. Should the template remain until others are provided or is that enough to justify removing the tag? — 83d40m (talk) 00:18, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Once a reference is added, {{unreferenced}} no longer applies. Others such as {{refimprove}} or others may still apply, depending- I haven't looked at the article yet since I got your note. —Ashanda (talk) 01:27, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Provided another link in as well, so perhaps that can be removed as well. Thanks for the notes and if you do not get to it soon I will remove the reference tag. ---- 83d40m (talk) 01:41, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

good thing

but can't we put something in wikipedia if we reference it properly???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.83.164.185 (talk) 21:18, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I do not know what you are referring to, but I can answer in a general way that no, you can't just add anything to Wikipedia even if it's referenced properly. New articles need to qualify under the notability criteria and conform to what Wikipedia is not. If you tell me what in particular you want to discuss, I can answer more fully. Thank you. —Ashanda (talk) 11:42, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

About the image of Dumitru Cornilescu

I copied the image from the Romanian page of Wikipedia so it cannot be an author rights violation. In addition I would say that it is a photography of public domain.

Camilo Barcelona Alcázar (talk) 16:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for writing. If you look at the Romanian image page, it quite clearly states that the image is indeed copyrighted and being used under the fair use doctrine. Judging for myself, I'd have to say the man looks to be about fifty years old in the photograph. Since he was born in 1891, that would place the photo in the 1940s sometime, too late to be in public domain automatically in most jurisdictions. If you have better information that proves it actually is in the public domain, please feel free to post it. If they allow it, what you should do is upload the image *locally* to the Spanish Wikipedia and assert the *fair use* doctrine. Make sure to read and follow the rules set forth for doing so on the Spanish Wikipedia- I know they can be confusing on the English Wikipedia. If you don't follow the rules they lay down, the image is likely to be deleted from there too. Thanks again for writing. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. — Ashanda 21:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Then, what problem has the image? Do you say that it is too late or too soon to this image to have a public domain? I do not understand you... On the other hand I do not understand why I am registred on the Romanian page of Wikipedia. I would prefer you to talk me in Spanish or French if you know them.

Camilo Barcelona Alcázar (talk) 21:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Desde que usted me pidió que le escriba a usted en español, voy a intentar la misma. Pido disculpas que mi español no es muy buena. Gracias por escribir. Si nos fijamos en la imagen de la página rumano, que claramente establece que la imagen es, en efecto, protegido por derechos de autor y que se utilizan en virtud de la doctrina del uso justo. A juzgar por mí mismo, me tienen que decir el hombre se ve a unos cincuenta años en la fotografía. Desde que nació en 1891, que pondría a la foto en la década de 1940 en algún momento, demasiado tarde para estar en dominio público automáticamente en la mayoría de las jurisdicciones. Si usted tiene una mejor información que demuestre que realmente está en el dominio público, por favor siéntase libre para enviar la misma.

Thanks for your effort talking me in Spanish, it is difficult to meet someone who do that. I had undestood it in English but my question was what do you refer when you say "too late" because in Spanish when we use "demasiado" it has a negative connotation.

I understand you do not want nothing to be in that page: "on my talk page there, not here". Sorry.

Normalmente, un trabajo tiene que haber sido publicado antes de 1923 a ser de dominio público. El hombre en la foto parece ser en su cincuenta. Desde que nació en 1891, la fotografía habría sido tomada en algún momento de la década de 1940. Elementos de la década de 1940 todavía están en el derecho de autor en su mayor parte. Por "a finales" Quise decir más tarde de la fecha habitual para estar en el dominio público, pido disculpas por ser poco claro. Usted puede encontrar el siguiente sitio web útiles.

Bobby Petrino

Would you like to explain please the reasoning for leaving a link to an article that is clearly biased against Petrino, and makes no mention of this "innovative offensive mind in the college game today"? I tried to link to an article from a reputable newspaper that talks about his innovative offensive mind" but you decided to leave the clearly is denigrating, and that is the only purpose of Pat Forde's article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clearlybiased (talk • contribs) 20:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for writing. I assume you mean this edit? Well to start off with, there's a little box underneath the edit window called the edit summary that you need to learn to use. None of us are working alone on the encyclopedia project and we need to communicate with others what we're doing. It is unreasonable to expect other editors to look up the URLs for all your edits, especially when you've changed a citation from a well known site like ESPN to a much lesser known source. It would also have helped if you had formatted your new citation properly so it was more obvious that it was from reliable sources like the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and Northwest Arkansas Times — I myself like to use citation templates to get all the details right in a reference. As it was, putting in a link entitled "ESPN:Worldwide Leader in Piling on Petrino" looked a lot more like vandalism than a constructive edit — all the more reason to properly format your citation and use the edit summary like I just explained. Now I just did check out the two URLs and there I found that yours does also serve as a reference about his offensive skills, so go ahead and re-add it if you like. To reduce the chance of another editor reverting you, you should heed my advice about using the edit summary and formating your citation properly as I explained above. Thanks again for your question and feel free to ask me any more questions you may have. Ashanda (talk) 00:43, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

User pages

Hello thank you for your welcome (in May) I have used wikipedia happily since then but I am just wondering something and didn't know who to ask. It sounds quite basic but how do you create an extra page for your user? ThanksTshiels1 (talk) 08:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Glad to see you've been enjoying your time editing! I think you're asking about subpages. You can read all the details about them behind that link, but briefly subpages are created by making a link of the form ''parent page''/''subpage'' then clicking the link and creating the page. My user talk archive page, User talk:Ashanda/Archive 1 is an example of a subpage. Hope that answered your question! Ashanda (talk) 11:18, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Go Man Go (radio show)

I made the recommended changes to this page in April 2008. Is it OK to delete the recommendations that still appear at the top of the page?

Thanks and regards HonestArry (talk) 06:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for improving the article! If problems have been addressed, maintenance notices may be removed. I've done this for Go Man Go (radio show) but I felt it necessary to add the {{refimprove}} template since it not only seems that there is only one reference listed, but that reference is not cited in a proper manner. Correct citation is described at Wikipedia:Citing sources, I myself find the use of the Citation templates to be of great help. Thanks again for your hard work on the article!

re: Anon IP

Not sure I understand. I was agreeing with User:Cresix about an IP address with several warnings at its talk page and whose edits for days have been non-constructive / vandalizing. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:21, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Call out Order for antm Cycle 1, week 2

Ashanda, why do you reject the attempts made to fix the call out order. Giselle won the challenge that week, Shannon had first call out, and Kesse was in the bottom two. Those three things are listed in the episode guide for that episode as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stylekid411 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I had never heard of the show before I was granted the Reviewer permission. Since then I have been seeing edits over and over moving the contestants around. Since these shows aired several years ago, the contestant order obviously couldn't actually be changing. However, since none of the article's authors have provided a citation to a reliable source, I had no way to verify what the correct situation should be. I decided that the best strategy would be to maintain the status quo until somebody did come forward with references we could use. Do you have such a reference? If you do, I would be happy to assist you in properly citing it in the article. Thanks! Ashanda (talk) 03:38, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

The only reference I have is the youtube video of the show airing (User is felippesg, antm cycle 1 episode 2 part 5). --Stylekid411 (talk) 16:02, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

We almost positively can't link to the video on YouTube because it's very likely to be a copyright violation, however it can still be used to fill in the other parameters of the {{cite episode}} template. All you have to do is fill in the parameters as instructed on the template's documentation page, then place it in between a set of reference tags <ref> ... </ref>. Insert that in the article indicating that it references the table. Let me know if you need more help! Ashanda (talk) 20:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Okay, where do I go to do that, and do I put the title of the video, the URL.--Stylekid411 (talk) 21:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
It's as simple as pie, you don't have to "go" anywhere! Just click on the template link I provided above and copy the template code onto your clipboard. The code's the stuff with the {{}} brackets on both ends in the tables with the grey background. Paste the code into your text editor (notepad, word, etc.), then fill in the fields. Instructions for what goes in each field are a little farther down on the template page, for example "title" is the name of the episode, "series" is the name of the series, "time" or "minutes" (you can use either one) will denote the time into the video the event being referenced happened, etc. (In this particular case, do not fill in the YouTube address for the URL- we can't link to copyright violations and your edit will be reverted usually pretty quickly.) Once you're done filling in the fields you can (you needn't fill in all of them) put the whole thing in between a set of reference brackets <ref> ... </ref>. Take that whole thing and copy it onto your clipboard. Go to the article and open up an edit window. Paste the filled in code into the appropriate place in the article. Use the "Preview" button to make sure nothing's messed up, then save the page. You should see a numbered superscript where you put the citation, and you will see the full citation at the bottom of the article in the "References" section. If the article doesn't have a references section, let me know and I'll add one. Let me know if you have more questions! Ashanda (talk) 22:41, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Thin, non-breaking spaces

Recent experiences tells me that ANI won't do anything unless a succession of warning templates have been left. I'm leaving one now for Li-ion battery. Jeh (talk) 22:24, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I thought that was more the case with WP:AIV than with WP:ANI. In any case, I would hold off on templates per Don't template the regulars.Ashanda (talk) 22:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
As it says there, "If you have a question, why not ask the experienced user your question? You may begin a dialogue that will prove much more effective than a template." Trouble is, dozens of such questions have been asked by as many editors, with no apparent effect. I left a disruptive1 template, but with quite a bit of additional text that shows I at least thought about it (rather than just dropping a template) and to make it a bit less impersonal. Impersonal though they are, the templates do provide approved wording for a series of warnings. Jeh (talk) 22:41, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
