== Before I move Forward ==

Chzz, You have been so helpful. I am going to be requesting translation of the page in Hebrew to creat a page on the Israel wiki page. First, before I move forward, do you have any suggestions or reccommendations? Second, once I have the text in Hebrew, I can place it on the talk page you created for me. Is that what you would like?

Lastly I still have a Hebrew graphic that I also would like to add. I will get back to you on that soon. [[User:Clou2epstein|Clou2epstein]] ([[User talk:Clou2epstein|talk]]) 17:24, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 17:24, 23 October 2009

Go on

I think it's time to accept a nomination. Wikipedia has suffered for long enough without your skills as an admin :) Please say yes. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much MSGJ; for now, suffice to say that I'm very flattered in your confidence. I am currently on holiday, and not on wikipedia as much as normal - but I assure you that I will give your suggestion due consideration, and will respond further ASAP. Thanks again,  Chzz  ►  22:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I look forward to your (positive) answer. Happy holiday, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:26, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Have you had a chance to think about this yet?? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
MSGJ, I certainly haven't forgotten about this; I am currently working on lots of other stuff - I hope to 'clear the decks' soon. I don't want to mess you around...please, rest-assured, I will respond further as soon as I have time. Thanks for your patience,  Chzz  ►  20:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hope I can get in line for the co-nom. :) GrooveDog (oh hai.) 01:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty sure I'd support you if you accepted. -- Atama頭 16:11, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh, can I co-nom? (That is, if MSGJ hasn't taken every word right out of my mouth... ;)) --Dylan620 (contribs, logs, review) 17:22, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's it guys, someone hold Chzz down, I'll tie them up, and we'll torture him until he agrees to run for adminship. ;P -- Ϫ 18:03, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, hopefully it won't come to that. Would you mind if I at least made a start on the nomination page? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:24, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I tried really hard to clear down my outstanding stuff, and on 7th, I pretty much had [32] - 6 days later, and as you can see from this page, I seem to have a whole bunch of new things :-S I guess this is just the way of things. Aargh.  Chzz  ►  03:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)  Chzz  ►  06:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Poke, to stop the bot. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:54, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Gah, there is no escape! \o/
MSGJ, if you still wish to arm me with a mop and inflict me on the community, please go ahead and write it up; please give me a shout before transcluding though - but I don't anticipate messing you around any further; apologies for the delays - I hoped to clear things, and I have done so to a reasonable extent. Let's face it, my 'to do' list and talkpage is unlikely to ever be quiet... I don't suppose there is ever an optimum time for these things. I'm not sure about who wants to co-nom or whatever; it doesn't bother me. Thank you very much for your patience.  Chzz  ►  22:26, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spoons 2

Hi Chzz. In terms of quality, are you able to give a reassesment of Artis the Spoonman as the article right now? Is it still of stub quality? I want to try and make it a Good Article or Featured Article and it would be nice to know how I'm progressing. Cheers.--Spoon Maniac (talk) 01:07, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's no longer a 'stub' because of it's length, so I have reassessed it as 'start class'. To progress up the scale, it will need much better references to reliable sources. For further help, I suggest asking for general advice on it in [[WP:FEED], and - perhaps later, having added references, get a peer review to see if it could be graded as C or B class. Reading Wikipedia:Article development might help. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  07:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay thanks. I'll see what I can do.--Spoon Maniac (talk) 19:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

helpme template

Thanks for telling me about the {{helpme}}, I and some other users created the template {{unanswered}} and {{answered}} one or two years ago to mark what questions had been answered or just forgotten, shame that instead of catching on it resulted in a handful of users actively hunting down the people using them (as "it promotes people asking for more attention than anyone else" or something stupid like that). hope help me works better than unanswered! --Squidonius (talk) 09:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes, I noticed that; I spotted that it was a bit 'historical' and that there were some very old things lying around in the unanswered category, so tried to clean it up a bit. Yes, I assure you, {{helpme}} works extremely well - it alerts helpers in an IRC channel, and they tend to get answered very quickly - often within minutes. Depends who is around, of course. Perhaps you could pop in and say 'hi' to the helpers some time; this is a way to instantly connect to it. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  09:49, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I saw you drop in; didn't get chance to reply though, as you left so quickly. It's pretty good there; a bot pops up a message when people need help, and there are always several helpers there, keen to guide people. Anyway - see you around.  Chzz  ►  10:05, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for comments

Hi, Chzz. A few days ago you gave me directions and recommendations about the article I am writing. Thank you very much for this. In the process of writing this article I came across several things I am not certain how to handle. I tried to record them in the article's talk page. Please review the article itself and its talk page and I would appreciate your comments and suggestions.

TIA

Epstein Eagle Mascot/Crest

Chzz,

Could you please add the following Eagle mascot image to the left side of the page (opposite the school image or reverse the order if you feel it is more appropriate for school to be on the left and the Eagel mascot crest/logo on right) near the history section of The Epstein School article as well as the text below:

Epstein_Eagle_Mascot_Crest_logo_wiki.jpg‎ (164 × 170 pixels, file size: 9 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Please add the following text to the end of the history section:

The school's mascot is the Eagle, as represented by the Epstein Eagle crest.

Characters of Smallville

(original question was asked on User talk:Bignole; copied here to clarify thread and keep it in one place  Chzz  ►  12:07, 21 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Howdy,

Pls see Talk:Characters_of_Smallville#Questions_re._fact_tags, cheers,  Chzz  ►  01:31, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I have another suggestion, regarding that article, I welcome your thoughts on the matter; regarding the opening sentence; Smallville is an American television series developed by writer/producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and was initially broadcast by The WB. - I think that this could be improved; the very first sentence of any article is so critical, in explaining what it is all about. As an outsider, so to speak, I feel that I'd like to know what it is, from that first sentence - ie the genre, or something. The names of the writers/producers seems to me a bit less critical. Forgive me, because I don't know the programme. Considering the subject of the article, I would like to see something along the lines of "XXX is a ???(comedy/drama/sci-fi etc) US TV show with characters XXX, YYY and ZZZ" - or something along those lines.
Another small point; the lede should either be fully-referenced, or have no references at all - because, it should summarize, and thus all the info in the lede should be elaborated upon within the body; at present, the facts about "CW" are not explained within the body itself.
I hope that you will accept my suggestions as intended, ie constructive criticism. Best,  Chzz  ►  01:42, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]


It would be kind of hard to just pick one genre to put in the lead sentence, given that the show is classified as an Action, Adventure, Science fiction, Drama TV show. If I put all of those in there, that would be rather clunky, hence why none were included. It could also be considered a fantasy show as well. As for the citation thing, where in this section (or anywhere on the page) does it say "all or nothing"? What I see is a guideline that says cite quotes, and anything that makes exceptional claims, but avoid redundant citation for things that are more of a generalized summary. So, since the info about the CW isn't talked about in this article's body (because it has not overall bearing on this article, it's simply noted so as not to create confusing as to why it would say "The WB and then the CW"), that's why it receives a citation in the lead, to help verify that two programs merged into one.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the problems re. the first sentence, but I do still feel that some descriptive information about the genre would be better than the details currently, re. writers, etc. I'm looking for help here in FA's Characters of Carnivàle, Characters of Final Fantasy VIII and Characters of Kingdom Hearts - and I don't know. I'll think about it further.
I'll look at the rest ASAP  Chzz  ►  02:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but there is a difference between Kingdom of Hearts and Carnivale, and Superman. If I saw those two things I'd probably wonder what they were too, but when I see "based on Superman", it's kind of a given that it's probably going to be action oriented and adventure oriented. As for the pages for CoC, CoFFVIII, and CoKH, they have a lot of their own issues. I could never understand how articles on fiction could become featured with almost no real world coverage on the individual characters they discuss. If you look at Smallville, every character on there (with exception to the characters that have individual pages, as they were trimmed to basic info to save space) has real world information about character creation/development/etc. It may be that those pages were promoted to featured status 1 and 2 years ago, and a lot has changed since then.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:42, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Point taken, and I shall give it some thought; I tend to look for FAs for ideas, but I know what you mean. I'll get back to you. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  03:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much - I'm glad I could help. For your info (for the future), we have barnstars, that you can use to say thanks to other users - in this case, though, your message above is just fine, no need for a barnstar :-) Good luck with the article, and do let me know if you need help in the future.  Chzz  ►  23:55, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noemí_Carrión

Hi, I asked you to redirect Naymi to Noemi Carrion and Noemi Carrion with accents.

Now when I click here:

Noemí Carrión - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia10 Aug 2009 ... Noemí Carrión is a Spanish singer (soprano and mezzo soprano), songwriter, arranger, recording artiste, producer and actress, who originates ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noemí_Carrión - Cached - Similar

It will not load but says:

The previous page is sending you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noem%C3%83%C2%AD_Carri%C3%83%C2%B3n. 

If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.

So for some reason, after your redirection, one can only access Noemi Carrion within Wiki.

Any ideas?

[[[User:Zanze123|Zanze123]] (talk) 20:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)][reply]

  • Please can you fix your signature again
  • What you actually asked for was, Can you redirect those who type Naymi to Noemi Carrion. - I didn't do that, because Noemi Carrion is a redirect to Noemí Carrión, as you can see here - hence it would create a double-redirect, which we avoid. Instead, I created the redirect from Naymi to Noemí Carrión, here.

So, what exactly is the problem; what are you clicking, on which page?  Chzz  ►  21:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks the problem is that most people will type Noemi Carrion not Noemí Carrión because this article is in English and designed for English speakers who do not have those accents on their keyboards, and dont know about accents. So in fact, Noemí Carrión needs to redirect to Noemi Carrion and Naymi needs to redirect to Noemi Carrion. That is way beyond me. Could you help?! Once this is all done we will work on the Spanish version of the article for the Spanish wiki. Thanks again [[[User:Zanze123|Zanze123]] (talk) 11:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC)][reply]

Arthur Adams

Nice to meet you Chaz! Aw, you don't know what you did by visiting me! I saw your userpage, and found out you know stuff!!! Whoopie!! (I don't mean, just stuff, but computer stuff!) The thing I really lack (like even coming close to understanding what the f*@>! it takes to understand the inner workings of Wikimedia Commons. I sometimes have some real problems when seeking help with things like that. Can I ask you in a pinch? I'm stretching thin the few people I know (after close to 3 years full time here editing).

Regarding the photo, really, thanks! About a year ago, I got so sick of seeing all the articles without photos (on biographies of musicians) that now I spend half my time on that, and got a list of at least a hundred of the couple hundred uploads (both before when I used an IP address and now). Really, see my userpage for some of the names and photos! If you need help scouring Flickr, I'm good at begging for photos. Oh! By the way, the photographer of the pic you like is one of the most talented. Could I beg a favor now, and before deleting his name, Mykal Burns from the caption, would it be OK to leave his attribution on the photo caption as well till the article is ready to be checked for GA status? Some new photographers (like him) get nervous and even give up prior book deals for money and instead give up their copyright, so I try to give them some exposure and respect for doing so. Could we do that at least while the article is still in the start phase? It would mean a lot. Thanks for the nice note, too! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 23:21, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, of course, you can ask for help with anything, at any time. I can find the answers to most stuff; that's what I mostly do - help other users.
  • Re. photo - my first thought was, that if Burns is notable - ie he has been in some newspapers or something - then we could write a stub article on him, and it would be appropriate to link to it. From a quick look in Google News [33], that might not be possible though. So... well, you could change the caption to say something like "Arthur Adams live at Sunset Junction festival, Los Angeles, California, taken by photographer Mykal Burnson 23 August 2008". That would possibly be challenged, and therefore, as unreferenced to a reliable source, it could be removed by another user - but, then again, it might not be removed - I suggest, per WP:BOLD, you give it a try. Can't see any harm in it.  Chzz  ►  23:44, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
