Goclenius’s page
Dear Torritorri,
Actually the Style Guidelines category tag for my user page is a mistake. (I haven’t been using wikipedia very long either.) I was trying to link to Categories:Wikipedia Style Guidelines, rather than trying to put my page in that category. Using [[Category:Wikipedia_style_guidelines]] doesn’t work—it puts your page in the category.
Glad to see you're a grammar and French fan. I work on Descartes, Malebranche, and other French philosophers, and I read quite a bit of French literature, especially nineteenth century, but also recent authors like Raymond Queneau and Georges Perec.
Goclenius 02:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Good catch on the beam/ball of light thing. Thanks for fixing my mistake! Travisl 01:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Re: Toa Mata
Actually, the name "Toa Mata" has been confirmed by Greg in the past day or two. I referenced the source in the Toa Mata/Toa Nuva article, but to clear up confusion I'll add it to the Characters and Toa articles as well. Drakhan 18:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
*doffs hat*
Ello there Torri.. Just wanted to greet you since I saw you along the Eureka (TV series) edits and you reminded me of another friend of mine who has the same exact first name and so forth. She's more into The Hitchhiker's Guide though. DrWho42 20:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Ellen G. White article
Thanks for helping out with cleanup. I have reverted the entire set of anonymous/PilgrimRoad contributions (along with minor edits in between) as they were Original research. However, in order to make it legitimate we must focus on referencing what is left so we do not have the same problem again. If you see any minor changes or substantiated changes that I reverted could you please re-insert them. Cheers, Ansell 02:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Just a comment about your vote. The main issue of contention isn't the i in iPod, but rather the n in nano. Apple says the n is to be lower cased as it is with all of their products and that's what the move is trying to do is put it at the proper name according to Apple which is "iPod nano". Currently it is residing at iPod Nano. Gateman1997 03:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Could you please review you vote on Talk:iPod Nano? You appear to be suggesting that the article belongs at "IPod Nano" instead of "IPod nano". AlistairMcMillan 20:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern California
Hi. Welcome to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern California. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Since you are in the San Bernardino area, one thing I'll warn you about is a very slow Edit war over the inclusion/deletion of some information about gangs at San Bernardino County, California#Gang violence. IMHO, what is really needed is to create a better written, better referenced replacement for the section than what the one anon is trying to add. On the other hand, the two individuals in the edit war seem pretty committed to 'their' versions, so the odds are both of them will not like any changes to the section. ;-)
Since neither of the editors has created a user account, it might be necessary to get the page semi-protected for a little while to get them to quite edit warring and start discussing matters on the article's talk page. User:Will Beback is the most active administrator involved in Southern California articles, so you might contact him for help and advice. BlankVerse 15:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

ASUE
Lemony Snicket Roll Call
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:34, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi There!
It seems that you are intrested in San Bernardino and the Inland Empire (California) area. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Inland Empire and join if you like. It is a newly formed wikiproject that I just created so please cheak it out. Any questions contact me! Thank-You House1090 (talk) 04:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Inland Empire Template
I reverted you because the name is the same as other metro-area templates, they use the nickname. Ex: Template:Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, when the official name is LA-Long Beach-Santa Ana. Does that make sense? If not we can come to some compromise or something. House1090 (talk) 00:54, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- Assuming she changed it to Template:Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area, it should stay that way. Let me explain. Lets use your example House. First of all the Template:Los Angeles metropolitan area uses it's core city as a name. The official name of the "Inland Empire" is Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario. Now if we take those core cities, RS & SB it would be Template:Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area. After all the Template:Los Angeles metropolitan area would be Template:Southland metropolitan area if we went by regional names. However this only applies to if she changed it to Template:Riverside-San Bernardino metropolitan area. Otherwise forgive my intrusion. SoCal L.A. (talk) 00:02, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, I replaced "metropolitan area" with "region" but it's a moot point now anyway. Thanks =) --TorriTorri(Talk to me!) 01:14, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think we should start using Template Talk:Inland Empire to discuss this. I replied there. Cheers! House1090 (talk) 05:50, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Links
When you changed Greater Los Angeles from a redirect into a disambiguation page, you seem to have overlooked the fact that over a hundred other Wikipedia articles contain links to "Greater Los Angeles". When you change the target of an existing page title, "it is strongly recommended that you modify all pages that link to the old title so they will link to the new title." --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:54, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Help requested
While revamping the Metrolink (Southern California) page, I moved some information on Metrolink's governing body, the Southern California Regional Rail Authority to its own page. I thought that the original version was a bit confusing for someone who was not familiar with Metrolink so I split up some information for the purpose of clarity and style.
Another editor, however, disagrees with my edits and we cannot seem to come to an agreement with how the information should be handled. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a look at our discussion here and offer a tiebreaking opinion. Many thanks! Butros (talk) 09:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Please don't move pages around without discussing with others first. All LACMTA lines are using the Metro_Name_Line_(LACMTA) format. Esirgen (talk) 01:04, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

UCLA US News ranking
I am not what source you are looking at, but here is the url for the UCLA's US News ranking:[1]. Where are you getting that UCLA is ranked 16th? Ameriquedialectics 02:56, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- That's strange. This is the source I've been using (it's the one linked to in the UCLA Wikipedia article): [2] --TorriTorri(Talk to me!) 03:00, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- That ranking puts Stanford at 16th and UCLA at 32nd best in the world. UCLA is currently ranked 24th in the nation. The previous wording was correct. Ameriquedialectics 03:09, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- Why is UCLA the 16th school from the US in the link I listed? --TorriTorri(Talk to me!) 03:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, so that's how you got UCLA at 16! I have no idea. The "world ranking" is probably based on some other survey statistics. Have no idea as to the metrical differences between the world ranking and the national ranking. Ameriquedialectics 03:28, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- Why is UCLA the 16th school from the US in the link I listed? --TorriTorri(Talk to me!) 03:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Content Edit Reasoning
Please in the future, if you're going to refer to someone's edit as vandalism, please provide a valid explanation. That's a serious accusation. Thank you for your time and contributions. Shyngo (talk) 07:57, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Formstack. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:04, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Edit Summary
I was going to revert your edit Here, for not using the edit summary to explain the edit to other editor's, what stopped me is that it was a good edit. In the future please try to remimber to use the Edit Summary so other editor's don't have to guess. Thank you Mlpearc MESSAGE 04:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Will do. --TorriTorri(Talk to me!) 04:16, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Paramore
I'd like you explain the following about the removal from the lead (figure I might as well give you the heads-up).
- I highly doubt that even lowercasing the whole title counts as a stylazation nor has it even ever been done before.
- There isn't even a source for the matter
- There isn't even supposed to be the certain different stylazation in parethesis in the lead, there's nothing at all notable about how the title for something would appear in funny spellings.
Furthermore if I could ask, be sure to refraim from making edits like this, they're supposed to be seperated in commas, breaks aren't supposed to be used that way ( see WP:ALBUM). • GunMetal Angel 07:24, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- I did not realise about the commas, thanks. However, for the stylization, here is a source, and MOS:TM states that " it is acceptable to use decorative characters the first time the trademark appears, but thereafter, an alternative that follows the standard rules of punctuation should be used". Examples [[Yellow Tail {wine}|here]], [[Skate (video game}|here]], here, and here. Cheers! --TorriTorri(Talk to me!) 07:40, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Edits
- ive put this here and on my talkpage, although now i see this conversation already here i realise that i became subject to being accused without knowing it, you yourself even realised the problems with the edits. so heres my message, and since this is the second time someone has done this to me, im not happy at all: Im sorry if you took my edits the wrong way, but i reverted everything because the deletion of a list format made it look scruffy and unco-ordinated, ill admit that it was ignorance on my part that changed the genres, i didnt see that it was then alphabetical...sorry about that, but i put back in links and information they for no reason deleted and changed a title format to make it noticeable. even if their edits were in good faith, i dont see why im being accused of vandalism...--WhereTheLinesOverlapXX (talk) 12:38, 19 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by WhereTheLinesOverlapXX (talk • contribs)

I just fixed that. I didn't realize it was on our website as well as on non-copyrighted promotional materials. I think I just fixed it so the copyright review will be unnecessary.

Thank you for your edit to Cal Poly

Inland Empire 'recent revert'
I reverted you recently to tell you my explanation ,which you can see on the edit summary. Please write your thoughts here, I'm open to a compromise. House1090 (talk) 23:01, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm curious. Why is it not a main article? --Stepheng3 (talk) 01:33, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- IMO, a "main article" actually discusses the topic that the category covers, e.g., something like Universities and colleges in California. If anything, Education in California is more of a main article for that category. Perhaps the list article can be included in some kind of "see also" template? --TorriTorri(talk/contribs) 01:36, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- My thought is that substantive material on the topic is likely to show up in the list, not Education in California, but I might be wrong. I haven't found any guidelines on how to determine the main article. Even without the catmain template, the list is prominent, so I'm not going to sweat the issue. Cheers, --Stepheng3 (talk) 05:13, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- I've added both the list and education article with {{See also}}. --TorriTorri(talk/contribs) 17:45, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

What the hell are you doing?

You going to do the same thing with the Los Angeles Dodgers? --JonBroxton (talk) 05:49, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, and BTW, I didn't know the logo had been deleted. Had I known this was even being considered I would have fought against it. I thought it was a broken link, but when I couldn't find the original file I decided to upload a better version of it. --JonBroxton (talk) 05:54, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- WP:NFCC is very clear about logos. On a side note, the Dodgers logo is actually in the public domain. --TorriTorri(talk/contribs) 15:50, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Populated places CfD question
I'm asking the people in the Consensus? section of the "Populated places" discussion about a key point that has created strong division in this giant nomination.

Citrus Plaza
If you want Citrus Plaza to be categorized as a shopping center instead of a shopping mall, then you need to actually create an appropriate shopping centers category. An article is not allowed to sit in categories that don't already exist (i.e. ones whose category link is red when you look at the article), so whether it's the best category or not, the article has to stay in the "malls" category until you or someone else has actually created a "centers" category instead.

A reply from a veteran editor to your baseless and self-serving accusations.
- First I would like to remind you that you must be very careful when you go around accusing veteran editors of wrong doing, which you seem to be implying with your accusations.
- Second. Is it that you really think that I did this, or is it that you can't possibly fathom the fact that there are others (quite a few by my count), who think that the portals are completly out of place?
- Third. As far as your baseless accusations go, I would not stoop to trying to hide my identity to try and remove a portal that is obviously in no way related to the articles subject. I would just do it right out in the open. Its fairly clear that these portals are misplaced and it seems that others agree.
- Fourth. How long do the two of you going to continue to hold this subject matter hostage? No one else seems to agree with any of this silliness, yet you still ignore the fact that Orange County is in no way related to the City of Los Angelas.--Jojhutton (talk) 23:59, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
