The Irish Warden

Hi, I am using rollback with Igloo atm. If I encounter any problems or see something I want to learn I'll message you, it is easier that way. Thanks a lot TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 12:15, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 12:17, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, can you teach me about new pages patrol? I'm going offline now so I reply to your messages tomorrow. Thanks TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 21:20, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Sure! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:44, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Just message me when you are about, I'll be on here and there today. Thanks Thєíríshwαrdєn - írísh αnd prσud (talk) 07:49, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Can you help me out?

Background: Vivek, a new editor, who i have been helping out, wanted to create an article, so created it here: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Vehicle Factory Jabalpur. Of course, later he could not find where it was, and so contacted me on my talk page: User_talk:Anir1uph#Vehicle_Factory_Jabalpur. I found it from his list of contributions, and copied the code to User talk:VivekMishra2010, in his userspace.

Now, the page [[Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Vehicle Factory Jabalpur must be deleted. I tried looking at the CSD tags from the Twinkle drop-down, but found no suitable tags. (I, due to a bad click, my mistake, got the mouse clicked randomly, and that led to a tag of G3:Vandalism, which i immediately reverted.) So what can be done to remove it? An AfD, in my opinon would be too long and pointless, as this was a faulty creation, and must be speedily deleted, only i cannot find the right tag. Since i am new to this, can you lay out what should be done (and correct me where ever i have been wrong? Thanks a lot! Anir1uph | talk | contrib 22:12, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't think that this should be speedy deleted. It probably wouldn't pass an AfD, though, but your CSD tags would just be declined. Best, Electriccatfish2 (talk) 01:18, 20 July 2012 (UTC).

Hmm, thanks! I'l leave it be then. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 01:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You generally can't speedy an AFC submission unless it is a copyviolation, BLP vandalism, or general forms of vandalism. -CTS talk 01:59, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Also, if you decline a submission as vandalism, a joke, attack page, or as a copyright violation, it will be automatically blanked. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 18:37, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Another request

This is a little funny. To apply as an instructor at CVUA, one must fulfill 4 criteria. Now, can you check my block log here, and this comment. Will that ever be a problem if and when i decide to apply? Thanks! Anir1uph | talk | contrib 01:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

No problem! Please join us! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 10:54, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! My semester is just about to start, so will apply as soon as i am comfortable with the work load. Regards, Anir1uph | talk | contrib 17:45, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Great! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 18:36, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Your question in Teahouse chat

Hi Electriccatfish2! Someone with your nick was in the Teahouse help channel and asked about becoming a host. I wanted to let you know you can ask any questions on the Teahouse Q&A page. We also have information about being a host at this host info page and lots of good info in the "host lounge". I look forward to seeing you around! heather walls (talk) 20:44, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks-yes that was me. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 20:45, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Hidden feedback

I noticed you hid Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Bersa_83/181003 but it appears to be a constructive request for an image of the subject. Why did you hide it? Monty₈₄₅ 16:46, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

It tripped an edit filter as AFTv5 abuse for having repeating characters. Electric Catfish 16:47, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Tripping an edit filter isn't a reason to hide a feedback, it just alerts us to a potential problem to review. Monty₈₄₅ 16:49, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't you hide repeating characters? Electric Catfish 16:50, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

There is some discussion about whether one should hide posts with repeating characters that offer no constructive feedback, and there isn't consensus on that point, but if there is constructive feedback with it, we shouldn't hide it on the grounds that there are also repeating characters. Monty₈₄₅ 16:54, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

 Done Unhidden. Electric Catfish 16:54, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Apologies

I apologise, I am having a family party right now and my immature younger brother and cousin decided to vandalize the page Atelopus. Feel free to block the IP. --The Lord of the Allosaurs (talk) 17:18, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

It's fine. Thanks for letting me know. However, the IP will be blocked if they vandalize again from, it so please keep an eye out for them. Best, Electric Catfish 17:20, 23 July 2012 (UTC).

AFC

Yeah I'd love to try something new like AFC and I have created 2 articles in my 4 weeks here so I have so experience. How do you do AFC checks? And could you activate the reviewer feature for me. Kindest Regards Thєíríshwαrdєn - írísh αnd prσud 17:17, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

First please enable the AFC Helper Script. Go to "My Preferences" and than click on "Gadgets". Then tick the box by "Yet Another AFC Helper Script" and save the page. Than, please come back to me. Electric Catfish 13:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry again for not replying quickly, I have been very busy today. Anyway I have completed what you requested me to do, what's the next step? Thanks Thєíríshwαrdєn - írísh αnd prσud 17:20, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Review a submission and than I'll check over it. Electric Catfish 18:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

What do you do? Where can I see the AFC list? Thєíríshwαrdєn - írísh αnd prσud 19:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Click on the down arrow on the left of Twinkle and there will be 2 oprions: Review and Move. Click review. Electric Catfish 19:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Sockpuppet Investigation

Hi,

I have opened a sockpuppet investigation on an editor with whom you have had dealings:

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/User:81.129.112.196#24_July_2012

Your input would be much appreciated. Thanks! Ebikeguy (talk) 17:44, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	Thanks for your anti-vandalism work and reports over at WP:AIV. -- Luke (Talk) 18:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism Template

I am not sure what you are talking about? Kairportflier (talk) 19:27, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Replied there. Electric Catfish 19:29, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

There is no template, I just wrote it. Kairportflier (talk) 19:31, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

You write it manually every time? Electric Catfish 19:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

No, I wrote that as a "template" for my self every time a situation passes the 3 main warnings. Kairportflier (talk) 19:43, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! Electric Catfish 19:44, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Dimensional Transformology

Hello Electriccatfish2. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Dimensional Transformology to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 20:06, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Actually, Mifter put a G1 tag on it, which was totally not called for. I replaced it with a G2, but you're right, it should've been a PROD tag. Best, Electric Catfish 20:07, 24 July 2012 (UTC).

No worries. It's promotion, and OR, and verging on made-up-one-day, but not speediable. Now to explain to the author and hope he sees the light and we don't have to go to AfD... JohnCD (talk) 20:11, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! Electric Catfish 21:55, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Sir I need your desperate help. Please make it possible for me to make this article to become the part of wikipedia. Please help me out as I am new to wikipedia. Thanks

It needs to be expanded and needs to have claims of notability. Electric Catfish 21:55, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Why my article is rejected?

Hi,

I just read that you declined my article. I was told in an earlier occasion that my submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. However, I added plenty of reliable sources this time, but I received the same answer.

I can clearly see that all my current references and resources are adequate, so why do you use the same justification as the person before you to declinr my article!!! Thomas LeClint 2012-07-24

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomlec (talk • contribs) 21:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC) 

Which article? Can you please provide a link to it? Electric Catfish 21:53, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Although it is sourced, the sources are not considered reliable. Please see WP: Reliable Sources . Electric Catfish 21:57, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

CVUA

Hi EC2,

I've been thinking about your offer to become an instructor at CVUA. I think I should postpone doing so until my life settles down a bit. If I do it, I want to do it right, and I am worried that I just don't have the time to devote to it right now. Sorry about that. Cheers, Ebikeguy (talk) 15:50, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) That would be my suggestion, wait until you have time. Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 17:30, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding, Callanecc. Cheers, Ebikeguy (talk) 17:56, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to wikiFeed

Hello Electriccatfish2,

I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.

For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

Thanks! WorldsApart (talk) 21:11, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
