Sure, I'll help. Even better, I'll tell you how you can do it. There's nothing to it, really. First you need to come up with a name for the Ragdoll computer modell article. Let's call it [[Ragdoll (computer modell)]]. Now you can just click on that red link and get to a blank page where you can cut and paste in the text from the Ragdoll article that you want moved there. In case you want to try doing it your self, I'll wait some minutes and give you time to try it out. If you don't feel like doing it, I can do it for you. But it's really easy. |
|||
:I think I should present you with this: |
|||
To make the disamb link, you just edit the [[Ragdoll]] article, and put the following at the top: |
|||

:And there's one more thing. If you really want to do a good job when splitting an article like this, is making sure that articles with links to the original Ragdoll article are pointing to the right one. It's not a big deal, since people following a link to Ragdoll from a computer-related article, will see the disambig link on the top and click on it, but to save people a click, the perfect thing to do is to go through the various articles linking to [[Ragdoll]] (click on "what links here" in the toolbox to the left for a list when viewing the [[Ragdoll]] article). And then go through all the computer-related ones and change the links in them to point to [[Ragdoll (computer model)]] instead of to [[Ragdoll]]. But I'll do that myself now. Just FYI.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Coon.jpg]]== |

Is it really everyone else's problem that you have to share a computer? I don't think so. Do you? Do you honestly think that Wikipedia shouldhave to put up with this because some people aren't vandals? The fact is that your computer is compromised, so it should be bocked until you can take care of this. Good luck, I don't envy you, but it really has to stop. Don't you agree?[[User:Gator1|Gator1]] 17:10, September 3, 2005 (UTC) |

[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:File:Coon.jpg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F9|section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the image appears to be a blatant [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. |
|||
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:File:Coon.jpg|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[File talk:Coon.jpg|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. <!-- Template:Db-dbimgcopyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Bidgee|Bidgee]] ([[User talk:Bidgee|talk]]) 20:15, 10 January 2010 (UTC) |

== Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity == |
|||
== Question == |
|||
Sorry about the tone, I had no intention of affending. Actually, the questions were not meant as mean, they all make sense if you look at them through your answer on my talk page. Consider them now: What do you have against the inclusion of Katrina material in the Hurricane Andrew article? Your answer was nothing, you support informational updates, just as long as they are not rumors and guesses. Do you just hate those of us who are updating the information? Your answer says no, you have compassion for the victims and want the end number of deaths compared to andrew as low as possible. Do you want the glory of the Katrina edits? Absolutley not, otherwise you answer on my talk page would have had one of those tones that suggested you already had a claim staked. Lastly, the question of whether you would rather we wait until after new years to update the information? This one would probably be a yes, beacause some news reports are estimating the amount of time it will take to get the city drained and the body count finalized will easily be into 2006. |
|||
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] |
|||
When looked at like this, your answer says alot about you. Out of respect for those efected by Hurricane Katrina I will refrain from editting Andrew until our numbers - both lives lost and cost- firm up some. Again, I apologize if I came across as rude. Have a good day. [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] 19:38, 3 September 2005 (UTC) |

|||

About your question. I see you've [[Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|been bold]] and already gone through with the merge, which is fine, I guess. So this is just a late reply about how I would have gone about it. |

If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions).

I don't know anything about the subtle differences between Betta and Siamese Fighting Fish, but assuming they are the same, the prefered way of merging, is to pick one of the existing articles to merge the other content to. I see you chose a third brand new title, like we did when we split the cat-article. But in merging, sticking to one of the existing names is usually the best thing. For one, we then get to keep the talk-page and edit history of that article. Now finding the old talk-pages and edits are trickyer. Second, you save a redirect for other articles linking to that old page. And third, one of the original names are usually better. That's why they were chosen to begin with. |
|||
<!-- Delivery approved by [[User:Xeno]]. --> |
|||
== Suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity == |
|||
Then when you've desided on what article-title to keep and what to move, you add a [[Template:Mergeto]] tag in the article with the name you want to move the content from by typing, say <nowiki> {{mergeto|Siamese Fighting Fish}} </nowiki> on top of the Betta article. And then add a corresponding [[Template:Mergefrom]] in the other article, the one you want to keep the name of. Like this: <nowiki> {{mergefrom|Betta}} </nowiki> to the top of the Siamese Fighting Fish article. Then you write a short note on each talkpage with an explanation for your request. Like you did. And then you wait a few (3-4) days. Now you didn't wait very long before going through with the merge, and if it was an obvious one, it probably didn't matter. But usually it's best and more polite to give people watching the articles time to notice the request and comment on it. Just in case there were reasons for why they should be kept seperate. But asuming there were no objections after a few days, you could go ahead with the merge, and when finnished put a redirect on the article you merged from to the article you merged to. |
|||
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] |
|||
You should also check for any [[Wikipedia:Double redirects|double redirects]] after a merge like this. I see there are quite a few now after your merge. Example: If you go to the [[Climbing gourami]] article, you'll find a link to [[Siamese Fighting Fish]] near the bottom. But clicking that link, only brings you to the old Siamesee fighting fish, article that is now a redirect. And the reader will have to click again. This is because the [[Siamese Fighting Fish]] already had a redirect to [[Siamese fighting fish]] (low caps), and now that page is yet another redirect to the article you made. That's what is called a double redirect, and we try to avoid them. Use the "What links here" link in the toolbar to the left to find more. |

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the [[WP:ADMIN|administrator policy]] that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the [[WP:BN|bureaucrats' noticeboard]]. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through [[WP:RFA]]. Thank you.

== ArbCom 2017 election voter message == |

== No, don't. == |
|||
{{Ivmbox|Hello, Gator1. Voting in the '''[[WP:ACE2017|2017 Arbitration Committee elections]]''' is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December. All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. |
|||
No, don't. The RfC, as far as I can tell, needs to follow certain formatting guidelines. It caused me confusion, too. Take no action and say nothing for the moment; I don't want anyone annoyed. |
|||
The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration|Wikipedia arbitration process]]. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. |
|||
The signatories, if you will, of the RfC "own" a large portion of that page. It is for their exclusive use, and rightly so. |
|||
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2017/Candidates|the candidates]] and submit your choices on the '''[[Special:SecurePoll/vote/400|voting page]]'''.

My section "evidence of improved" was created by Hip after I mistakenly added in their section. It really caused confusion, but now I'm beginning to understand it. Check in with me to acknowledge this message, pose any questions, and let me answer your questions in detail. |

:Cool. I re-read your message and you didn't indicate you were going to do anything; sorry. |
|||
:It may seem a bit biased, because it is their RfC, and their opinions. However, you are allowed to add content. |
|||
:The problem is, I don't know exactly how to advise you to format it -- yet. I am working on it, and will share with you when I know. |
|||
:I do urge you to weigh in on this RfC, though, with a well-rounded view of the situation. You don't have to necessarily do it refute them, unless something there actually needs to be refuted -- in that case, by all means refute. You can give as thorough and thoughtful a view, organized and written well, as you can muster. You should really be honest about valid criticisms about BD as far as they are presenting it with respect to WP policy; but if there is context to that criticism, that will help a reader give BD a fairer hearing, you need to add it. RfCs can be a good mechanism for helping a user change behavior, and tracking efforts to help him do that. By not participating, you are not really making the point you may think you are making. When we respect RfCs and the people who bring them, even if we disagree, we do actually help the whole process. I am becoming increasingly trusting of the process when it is used correctly. If the RfC was brought for the wrong reasons, etc. etc., the evidence will speak for itself. By providing the evidence and trusting the judges to review it intelligently, we are doing what we want all WP'ians to do. |
|||
:I haven't added more, because I just have too many questions about how and where to leave remarks. Let's both review the rules of RfCs and examples thereof, so we can go about it the right way if we do. |
|||
:Hipocrite has offered by guidance on this if I come to him, but I want to respect his time and do my own research first, instead of expecting him to do my work for me. I will format it how I think I want to submit it, but place it on a sandbox page for him to review before I place it on the RfC.

::Don't know about Nightshade, but there does seem to be a view out there that the "motion to suspend" may not even have been okay to do. I don't know enough about the process and rules to comment intelligently on that. Let's both do some reading, and I have additional thoughts for you. |
|||
:::To try to head off some questions - you can do anything you want in any section you want as long as all of the people that have signed that section agree, or could be expected to agree with your actions. The proponents have the responsibility to lay out the dispute, and justify that they have attempted to solve the problem, so they have substantially more space. Because Kizzle and myself wanted to make it clear that our dispute was not about content, we wrote substantially more than is typically included. You can certainly change the section headers if you feel they are biased - Outside View 1, Outside View 2 is a typical convention, but Outside View of X is much more common. The RFC page is currently terribly formated with way too much discussion on the main page, but I do not intend to move anything else to talk at this stage.

Sorry for responding this late. Looks like it's been setled. Never heard about the knives, but I made an edit, moving the simpsons ref down to it's own trivia section (and add what episode it was, hope it was the right one, think so). The intro should be a short description of the subject, and I don't think having been parodied in the Simpsons is that notable. |
|||
And, yeah, claims like the ones you were disputing should preferably be backed up by a reference. Not sure if that bulletin-board like reference he added is very authorative, but it's better than nothing. [[User:Shanes|Shanes]] 04:22, 22 September 2005 (UTC) |

:You aren't doing anything wrong. I am surprised that someone sophisticated enough to understanding POV tags isn't able to detail his objections. All I see are links and no presented recommendations. What I have seen from your edits is an ability to compromise and include some criticism. If he will only tell us what he wants it might be good to add. Hopefully we can convince him to work with us instead of stomping off without a discussion. - [[User:Texture|<font color=red>Tεx</font>]][[User Talk:Texture|<font color=blue>τ</font>]][[User:Texture|<font color=red>urε</font><!-- TANSTAAFL -->]] 15:02, 22 September 2005 (UTC) |

This user may have left Wikipedia. Gator1 has not edited Wikipedia since May 2017. As a result, any requests made here may not receive a response. If you are seeking assistance, you may need to approach someone else. |
- Sign and date your comments by inserting
~~~~
at the end. If you do not sign, I may ignore or delete your comments. - Unless you are contributing to an ongoing discussion, start a new topic.
- If the discussion begins here, I will make my responses to your queries on this page. Be sure to put it on your watchlist if you want to see my response immediately. (Conversely, if the discussion begins on your talk page, I will continue the conversation there unless you explicitly tell me not to.) Fragmented discussions are difficult to follow.
- If you are having a dispute (or a lengthy conversation that I probably wouldn't be interested in) with another user, please take the discussion to his/her talk page instead.
- Remember to refrain from personal attacks, to be civil, and to assume good faith.
I archive this page about once a month. Archives can be found here.

TfD nomination of Template:Testg2
[edit]Template:Testg2 has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. MBisanz talk 18:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Coon.jpg
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:Coon.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
[edit]Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

File:Coon.jpg listed for deletion
[edit]A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Coon.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — ξxplicit 22:45, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Notice of change
[edit]Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
Notification of automated file description generation
[edit]Your upload of File:Belfast sunrise.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
