Checking file log

Hi, please check the file log before tagging an image for deletion as you did on Image:Lll.jpg. Some users upload a image with same name and it replace previous one. Thank you. Carlosguitar 10:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I award you the Philippine Barnstar!

I'm impressed with your contributions to Philippine-related articles and your enthusiasm to learn much about the workings of Wikipedia. I hope that more new contributors are like you! Keep it up! (You can place the barnstar image anywhere in your user space.) --seav 05:53, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

		The Philippine Barnstar
		I hereby present you this Philippine BarnStar Award for your outstanding efforts and great contributions to Philippine-related articles.

Try not to be too zealous

Like what you did by unilaterally nominating the Zamboanga lists for deletion. You do not want to turn off contributors who are well-meaning in their contributions. It's better to discuss with them and argue your points in talk pages before making disruptive actions. See, for example, my discussion on Talk:Dipolog City. --seav 09:58, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

I really need to study for the entrance exam so I'm not editing on wiki right now. You could self-nominate the article in T:TDYK under Articles created on November 12.--Lenticel ^(talk) 05:56, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

About the official portrait picture of PGMA

It is fair use according to R.A 8293 or Intellectual code of the Philippines. You click the photo and you see that it is a fair use. Thank you.--Joseph Solis in Australia 10:11, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

{{PhilippinesGov with fair use}}

The meaning of This tag must only be used in conjunction with a fair use tag is that, this tag on above as you see, will use with fair use tag. Thank You. Joseph Solis in Australia 10:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Remember, the official portrait picture of PGMA cannot be deleted because it is a public property and it will use as a fair use and if it is private property, it will be deleted but since it is public property, it cannot be deleted.--Joseph Solis in Australia (talk) 06:26, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The source of the copyright of the official portrait picture of PGMA is R.A 8293 or Intellectual code of the Philippines and on chapter 8, section 184.1 (h) says that The use made of a work by or under the direction or control of the Government, by the National Library or by educational, scientific or professional institutions where such use is in the public interest and is compatible with fair use. [1] And since the official portrait picture of PGMA is in the public interest and under control of the government, the portrait of PGMA should be in fair use. Thank you and I hope that you understand.--Joseph Solis in Australia (talk) 06:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

DYK is not only for new articles

While new articles are the focus of DYKs, articles that were former stubs but expanded fivefold are acceptable. Before I expanded Pasig River sixfold, it was a stub. :-) ---- seav (talk) 16:51, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Editing conflict

Hi BritandBeyonce. I was wondering if you could help me solve an issue I have right now with another user of wikipedia. User: RM41194 and I have been (in what I believe) an argument that began on the Rihanna discography talk page. A user had been continously including the wrong peak positions so i stated that it might be best to protect this page. However User: RM41194 posted a comment stating that "great now no one" could edit the page. I decided to explain to this possibly newly registered user, that accounts older then 4 days could edit any semi-protected page. However this user was probably not happy and decided to delete some content on my user page. So I would really apprecitate it if you could give me a tip on how i could resolve this issue with that user, or if you could solve my problem yourself. Yours sincerely --JayJ47 (talk) 06:57, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to request protection for user pages? If so would it be necessary for mine to be put under semi-protection for a priod of 1 week? If not then please let me know. Thank you --JayJ47 (talk) 08:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Try using better edit summaries

Edits on a talk page is likely a comment so "Commented" does not help much. Try "I agree", "Asking for help/assistance" or "Stating my opinion that...". This is not a hard and fast rule and short summaries are acceptable especially if you're feeling lazy, but try to make your summary more meaningful. :-) See Help:Edit summary for details. --seav (talk) 08:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Marcela Agoncillo

Hi Mark,

I don't understand the meaning of your message on my talk page. I have not suggested that there are biases in the Marcela Agoncillo article, nor have I even read the article. My only connection with that page is that it happened to be one in a list of pages that included an incorrect spelling of the word "themselves", which I corrected this morning.

Neelix (talk) 14:06, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, It's User:Dekimasu who placed the tag. He seems to be interested in Japanese culture. Perhaps the tag is due to the cruel Japanese part in Marcela_Agoncillo#Post-exile_and_death. As for User:Neelix, I think he really just fixed the spelling.

I'm not yet "back", I do edit from time to time if I have the time but not yet in full force. -Lenticel ^(talk) 23:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

It appears that you (irrespective of gender) are the "mother" of the Marcela Agoncillo article, as she is the mother of the Philippines flag. Therefore, be it hereby known unto thee that I have ripped, torn, and re-sewn some of your handiwork in the interest of the common good. Please feel free to edit my edits if I have mistaken your intended meaning in any way whatsoever. Writtenright (talk) 05:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Writtenright

It's fine. I am always looking forward to those who have the grasp of the language to modify all my articles which are apparently not that good. Anyway, I am too young and new on this to reach that level. Thanks for reviewing it, I learned something. Cheers! --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 07:29, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

The article should be submitted to Peer Review after offline sources (books or periodicals) are added. Too bad I can't help with finding the sources. The UP Main Library is just 10 minutes away from here but it is near closing time after I finish my work. Maybe you could request other UP students/faculty wikipedians to help you (Sorry, I can't help you find them here. Might as well ask the Tambayan) --Lenticel ^(talk) 01:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I believe it should. Try Google Books if you can't really find offline sources. I don't use it often but I think you could get some online books there. --Lenticel ^(talk) 03:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Of course, those are just "teasers" so you'll be forced to buy their book :)--Lenticel ^(talk) 03:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but I think it is still "not there". I believe you should study other GA's listed in the Tambayan page. For example Rizal's article has 44 refs. By the way, I'll choose you as vice coordinator for EDSA I. We need that article to become FA. If we could raise the article to that status then we could vote for Marcella Agoncillo as the next collaboration. --Lenticel ^(talk) 23:24, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

(resetting indent) I am the coordinator (unwillingly) of the collaboration. I'll try to work on the article later. I'll finish some stuff in work first.--Lenticel ^(talk) 00:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

More tearing and re-sewing. Does it still fit? Writtenright 04:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Writtenright

Dear βritandβeyoncé: Perhaps I am at fault for being both too brief and too abstruse at the same time. I only meant by "ripping" and "re-sewing", continuing the Filipino flag analogy begun in my first note to you, that I had "ripped" out some of your words and "sewn" in mine, to make a better "cloth", that is, the article itself. When I asked if it "fit", I meant to enquire whether or not the meanings currently expressed are compatible with what you had meant to say, had you the facility with English which this editor enjoys. Writtenright 07:34, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Writtenright

βandβ: I will be more than happy to assist you at any time. Just leave a message on my "discussion" page. Writtenright 08:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Writtenright

I thought you were

Hahaha. I think you're the second user that thought I was a girl. Yeah, I think "Lenticel" is a feminine sounding name but it was the first unique name that I saw on Wikipedia. By the way, just tell me when will we expand Parol since you must prepare for something in real life--Lenticel ^(talk) 05:59, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Middle of December then (Dec. 15-20). --Lenticel ^(talk) 06:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

To do

Place the the text {{todo}} on the talk page of the article you wish to collaborate on, or add the todo box to. Info at Template:Todo.
There is a handy second template that you can put inside of the "todo" box that gives a list of typical items. That would be {{tasks}}, and you can take a look at Template:Tasks to see how you might use it. Hope that helps.
-- Yellowdesk (talk) 16:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I guess you're thinking about Wikipedia:Peer_review. Take a look there, and see if that may be a useful avenue. You may only get an automated (non-human) review of the article text, as that review page has a very large backlog.
Also, on the NPOV tag for the article, ask another editor who has worked on the article to review the complaint, and decide for you if the tag can be taken off.
-- I hope that helps. Yellowdesk (talk) 04:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Can you remember the item that caused you to write to me? Maybe there is some other process that I cannot remember. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

What item? --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 02:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

This item:

I have seen in an article about Bio where you added To Do list. Where in Wiki can we ask for that? --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 09:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Don't assess most American soldiers

My script is not that perfect and so it may include in the Assessment worklists some articles that are not really Philippine-related, such as American soldiers that just happen to serve in the Spanish-American War/Philippine-American War/World War II. Only include them if they're high-ranking and most of his service was served in the Philippines, or if he is notable in the Philippines otherwise (like that guy who shot a Filipino soldier in San Juan which led to the start of the Phil-Am War.) --seav (talk) 07:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Hehe. That's one of the factors on why I chose you in the first place. Anyways we really need offline sources. --Lenticel ^(talk) 09:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

{{unreferenced}}

When tagging pages with dated maintenance tags, remember to include the year as well as the month, i.e. {{unreferenced|date=November 2007}}, otherwise they don't categorize properly. Thanks – Gurch 12:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

User:rm41194

Hi. I noticed that user: rm41194 has been recieving several warnings on his/her talk page. I also noticed that after the comments posted by myself and user JayJ47 (which both contained "idiot") that rm41194 wrote "great, now no one can edit the page". I don't know why he/she had to do so. I also realised that you had sent a reply to JayJ47. I think that he was only repeating what i said; which contained the word "idiot". Anyway i am asking you whether if it is possible to block users for a short period of time; in this case blocking User:rm41194 for a short period. Thanks. --220.101.48.106 (talk) 00:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

It would be better if you signed in before you send me a message. Deliberate or not, as long as it's personal attack, it's wrong dear. Wiki do not allow such word. We might hurt someone; please assume good faith. Anyway, you can request user block for a given time as long as it is considerable for blocking. Thank you. --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 04:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Gimme More - But not much more

As the thread title suggests, I don't think you need to do much more. Some minor prosal issues, but probably not so much that it wouldn't pass GA. What will inhibit it passing GA is the lack of references early in the article, like especially the lead and the next two or three sections (there's plenty within the middle section, about the track listing, the music video, reception etc etc). The charts need to be individually referenced, otherwise the entire chart list is compromised. If you want to, you can do something like this with the references to keep them tidy. Now, I've changed some stuff. The infobox looked way too messy. The release dates should be succinct: when was it released? I've removed all the cruft, since there's plenty of info throughout the article to get you that, and it's listed in the releases section too. The chart listing I've merged into one column because it doesn't sort properly being split into two, even though it make the page longer, it needs to work that way. Other than that, and a few little things here or there, I'd say shoot it over to GA, even if just to see how it floats. --lincalinca 11:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

From Johnny542

Hey so you like Beyonce too. Wow, she is so hot and sexy and her music is not that bad either. Britney SPears did used to be hot but now she really isn't. Anyway, nice to meet you. Johnny542 (talk) 16:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah nice to see you too Mark or is that your name? Beyonce, Marey Carey and Britney Spears are the hot, sexy girls. So what are you doing for Wikipedia? Johnny542 (talk) 13:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh cool, so how is like in the Phillpines? Are there a lot of storms that come along. Also are the local tress just like in Florida? Have a nice day. Johnny542 (talk) 13:51, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, well Florida is like that to. I live in Chicago but I used to live in Gainsville Florida, luckly we didn't have hurricanes coming near our city or what-ever its called. Johnny542 (talk) 13:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Blonde Spears in Gimme More.png)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Blonde Spears in Gimme More.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Ilse@ 23:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead, delete it. --βritandβeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 00:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
