A potential chat session with Bill Oakley

We at the Simpsons WikiProject have managed to get into contact with the one and only Bill Oakley (who showran The Simpsons from season 7 to 8) and he has agreed to send us some images and to do an IRC chat in the future with us so that we can ask questions about things that we can use in articles. The transcript of this chat will hopefully be posted at NoHomers.net, which I think will be a good enough sorce. Failing that, we'll try The Simpsons Archive. Every member is more than welcome to take part, which will be held at our #wpsimpsons channel. Because not everyone will be able to make the chat, a page has been made where any member can post questions that can be asked. Remember, no fan questions, and due to a lack of time, try to limit it to ones that will help improve an article. That page is here. If you have any questions, ask myself, Xihix (who is the one in contact with him) or post it at WT:DOH, which is where any future updates will be posted. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please make the fixes, and remove the tags, after making such fixes, as suggested. Thanks. Bearian (talk) 18:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Work in progress, Fictional places of Eddings, would you help

Hello Adolphus79...Would you be interested in helping with an article/list about the fictional places of the works of the Eddings that I am currently writing in my user space? I really don't know what to do with it, but if you were willing to help me with it, that would be great! If no one thinks it is worth it, I will just get rid of it. Pop on over if you want. - LA @ 06:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Adffactsandfictions.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Adffactsandfictions.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 15:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

August

Earlier you reverted a change to the August page. In fact the change was correct. The page clearly states Augustus did not steal the days from February. If you read through the given link you will find out the page does in fact state Sacrobosco's theory regarding the months length was proven wrong (see below).

edit: no offense though :)

The Julian reform set the lengths of the months to their modern values. However, a 13th century scholar, Sacrobosco, proposed a different explanation for the lengths of Julian months which is still widely repeated but is certainly wrong.

Notable Rhode Island

Sorry if I was snippy about the citation, but I figure that a citation to a web link would take only a minute, and removes any future questions about notability or not. Plazak (talk) 22:46, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem... like I said, I should have just been bold enough to start the damn article myself... ;) - Adolphus79 (talk) 22:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for removing the duplicate {{reflist}} I used for previewing Principality of Trinidad. I'm usually good about removing them before saving. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 20:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

Hello, Adolphus79! I have received your June 7th welcome message on My Talk page welcoming me to Wikipedia. That was very kind and sincere of you. So far, I have enjoyed Wikipedia pretty well and I am still adapting to it. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat with me, please feel free to contact me. Thank you. :-)

I'm sorry, I saw the blanking of a section, and was reverting that. I realized my mistake directly afterwards (note: no vandalism warning message on your talk page). Feel free to change it back. Happy editing... - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:32, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User page

I've semi-protected your user page again, but this time without expiration. If at any point you want it unprotected, just let me or another administrator know. -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again... I don't know who this person is, they don't seem to have the guts to let me know who they are or how I offended them. It's one edit to my user page, then switch IPs. I don't mind if the page stays protected permantently, if it will keep this childish behavior under control. - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

બ્લોગ

What makes you say that this is vandalism ? Do you know the language used ? Cenarium ^Talk 21:17, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry if I overreacted on this. I didn't see how it could be classified as vandalism. Cheers, Cenarium ^Talk 21:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mark it as vandalism, I added the original db-nonsense, then when you removed that, I added the notenglish tag... - Adolphus79 (talk) 22:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see what happened, when I went to add the notenglish tag, you had removed another editor's db-vandalism, and added the notenglish yourself, then my edit overwrote yours and put the db-vandalism back... I should have noticed that myself, sorry... - Adolphus79 (talk) 22:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see, I should have considered this based on your edit summary. Cenarium ^Talk 22:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comedy Clubs

Why did you delete my post about Takeout Comedy? It is the first and only fulltime comedy club in Asia. Gchuva (talk) 07:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a stub for Takeout Comedy to show that they are worthy of wikipedia. Gchuva (talk) 09:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article you started was about a comedy club that was found to not be notable enough to warrant an article. I did not delete the article, I do not have the ability to do so. As far as the list on Comedy clubs goes, the comment stated to only add clubs that are notable. Since your club was found to not be notable, it should not be on the list. Do not take offence to this, there are a lot of people and places that do not pass the guidelines at WP:NOTE... - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The stub has stayed up so far. Do a search for takeout comedy and you will see it. Can we add it back to the list of comedy clubs? 116.48.49.113 (talk) 00:04, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you moving for speedy deletionGchuva (talk) 00:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recreating deleted content without addressing the problems is against the policy. I think I addressed the notability problem. What can I do to remove the speedy deletion tag? I actually do care what you think and want to follow the guidelines. How can I address your concerns?Gchuva (talk) 00:23, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the tag... happy editing... - Adolphus79 (talk) 00:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In response to what I hope wasn't rhetorical

Not really. But it feels like proper process to inform someone when it seems like there's even a chance that they legitimately don't understand, rather than that they're simply being deliberately disruptive or beligerant. Not to say they can't be both, of course. If they make any effort to communicate on the issue, I think it's best to explain WHY what they're doing is wrong, not just tell them that it IS wrong. I'm not trying to say you've not done that or anything. I mean, the speedy deletion warning template explains it pretty clearly. - Vianello (talk) 06:05, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

well, I started with the speedy and a warning... but not wanting to bite the noob, I followed up with the message on both the article's and the user's talk pages... then I figured I should just help him and show him what I was talking about... hopefully he gets the idea and doesn't take offence to it, I thought I explained pretty peacefully... - Adolphus79 (talk) 06:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shoot, I think I misunderstood what you meant. You meant YOUR comment on his talk page (which I didn't notice until just now), didn't you? Well, most of my comment still stands for that case anyway. You're being about as diplomatic as can really be expected, I think. Whether or not it actually works/helps is up to him. - Vianello (talk) 06:12, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my original statement on your talk could have been a little more concise... what I should have written was 'do you think the messages and the move will fix this situation?'... that will teach me to stay up and edit at 2 in the morning... oh well... happy editing... - Adolphus79 (talk) 06:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! –xenocidic (talk) 21:01, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to post on RfR regarding the responses to the concerns I mentioned, but I wasn't able to, as the request got archived while I was responding. Anyway, I read the discussion, your answer, and also reviewed some other reverts of yours, and I believe granting you rollback was a good decision. My apologies for any trouble. Best wishes. Acalamari 21:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thank you... - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I didn't even see the RFR thread so sorry for not chiming in there. The reason I granted rollback was because he's a long standing user and I didn't see any complaints on his talk page about his actions. Since he hadn't used Twinkle there was no "identified as vandalism" edits to poke through. As long as he knows that rollback is only used in clearcut cases and undo (preferably with an edit summary) should be used in other cases, I'm sure he'll do fine. –xenocidic (talk) 00:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I do everything the old way, no twinkle or huggle, and rarely even any undo... but thank you for the vote of confidence, and rest assured that I know rollback is strictly for vandalism... - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging of (SJ)

Please be careful in applying G1 (patent nonsense) to an article. This tag should only be used for articles that contain a load of gibberish (random strings of characters, etc.). It should not be used for articles with poor writing, impossible facts, hard-to-understand things, and so on. Let me know if you have any questions. --cremepuff222 (talk) 03:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The Darren Stevens edits

The reason they're angry at me is that, while they can change IPs to get around a block, they can't get around page protection so quickly—and I protected Darren Stevens. —C.Fred (talk) 04:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jackahuahua

I don't know why you have it out for everyone who uses this ip, but I don't want to edit war with you. I was merely trying to clean up an article Jackahuahua you had reccomended for deletion to give you a little faith for this ip block and all your recent problems with it. In my opinion a photo , plus several sentences, plus a quote from someone else is more then a 'photo', even though it might be less then a full expose on the breed. 204.108.8.5 (talk) 19:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems funny that "everyone who uses this IP" just happens to troll my edits. Ever since I reverted the non-notable edit by Ahhbears, this IP has made 50 edits, and only 10 of those were not related to me or my edits/articles. I would believe that this IP was being used by more than one person if you could avoid trolling my recent edits and/or articles created for any period of time. This IP has been harassing me and my edits for almost 3 weeks now. I am willing to assume in good faith that you are not Ahhbears. I would also be willing to accept that more than one person is using this IP if you created an account instead of editing as an anon IP, and were to not show up on my watchlist for at least a couple weeks. - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:41, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you've had such problems. I do think an account creation would be in order. Sorry if this got you upset. 204.108.8.5 (talk) 19:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Repost

I've been told that articles only qualify for csd as reposts if they've been deleted through afd. Something to do with the text in the tag being about there being an archived discussion? -- role^player 10:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've used it before without issue, but reading G4 just now, it does say that it "does not apply to previsouly speedy'd material"... hmm... guess I'll have to stop using it for that... thanks for the heads up... - Adolphus79 (talk) 10:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Starzik

Hello,

The article I was creating had been deleted twice. It is said that it's because I didn't mention the subject's importance. But I was actually doing it. What's more, I have difficulty to understand everthing is sent to me because I'm not very good at English. Can you explain me what happened and what can I do to create a conform article ?

Thanks

Starzik (talk) 11:04, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly, I would first recommend you read the Wikipedia general guidelines regarding notability and specifically the guidelines regarding web content. You should also read up on verifiability. After you've done that, you should check out the links I provided you in the 'Welcome!' message at the top of your talk page. The basic information is that some of us don't think your website is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia based on what little information you provided. An option would be to make a userpage here, and work on the article (making sure you meet the notability and verifiability guidelines) before trying to add it to the actualy encyclopedia again. The userpage is not part of the actual encyclopedia, so you can write about yourself without worry of being deleted (take a look at my user page for example). Feel free to let me know if you need further help. Happy editing... - Adolphus79 (talk) 11:18, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Statusing

I gather you want your status display to show those status'es with the LED display and such? You'll need to robbe the code from Template:Statustop and create your own. I think the best thing to do would be probably subst it into a user subpage of yours and then if you want I can eliminate a lot of the cruft that you won't need because it's your personal status thinger. –xenocidic (talk) 00:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. Copy the code from User:Xenocidic/sandbox into a user subpage and it should work how you like it. later on I may decide to implement your idea of fully customizable status types. –xenocidic (talk) 00:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, that was the first try... I was halfway thru coding the new template myself when your second message popped up... awesome work, thank you... feel free to steal it back anytime User:Adolphus79/MyStatus... - Adolphus79 (talk) 00:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quinton catheter

I came across the deletion of Quinton Catheter (which you patrolled and tagged for deletion) while checking broken redirects (here, quinton catheter). I think we should have an article on this, or at least a redirect to catheter and the text placed there. We have articles on catheters at Category:Catheters. I will check with the deleting admin and then undelete (and maybe merge) if there are no objections. Carcharoth (talk) 11:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any objections, if I remember correctly, it was only deleted due to a lack of content. A redirect to catheter and a short section on that article is fine by me... - Adolphus79 (talk) 13:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SPROOSE

Hi, i'd like to know why my page SPROOSE was deleted, I did it very similar to the mahalo.com page, in the same manner, with the same basic information.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbelaunde (talk • contribs)

It was deleted on the basis of G11. Basically, it read like an advertisement, with no claims of notability. - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I read the guidelines over and over again, however it is almost impossible to mention notable features without it sounding a bit like advertising like you say, though this is not the intent. I reviewed Mahalo.com, even google... and I seem to have written everything in a similar fashion. If they're allowed to stay why can't this one, I did it the same way and stuck to the guidelines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbelaunde (talk • contribs) 16:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly don't remember your article word for word, but IIRC, there were not enough third party sources. Third party sources means having a newspaper article, book, etc. written about the subject. Google is notable and verifiable, everyone in the world knows what Google is, and there have been several books and news articles regarding it. I don't know about Mahalo myself, but there seem to be a good number of third party sources cited. Please check out the notability and verifiability guidelines.

If, after reading those two policies, you still believe that Sproose is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia, here's what I'll do for you. Go ahead and write/recreate the article in your userspace (a subpage of your user page, e.g. User:Mbelaunde/Sproose), and I'll take a second closer look at it. If it looks notable enough and verifiable, I'll try to help you restore it. - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:04, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Remember to sign your talk page comments with 4 tildes (~~~~), so we know who wrote it... - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:04, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see... I wasn't done with it, I definitely was not aware that I had to put all my third-party sources on my first edit, this is also my first article, and all this coding takes me a while, I'm not used to it. The guidelines specified that if my page was going to take a few edits to complete, to post an UNDER CONSTRUCTION at the top of it to let editors know the page wasn't done. I did that, but it still got taken out. I have more sources, I had posted 4, from newsweek, NY times, etc.

Please, put it back up, i will work on it this whole week, and have it ready. Thank you. Mbelaunde (talk) 17:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to try to put it up again, there's nothing stopping you from recreating the exact same article, but if someone comes across it and doesn't think it's "good enough", it could still be deleted again. A friendly hint, most editors (myself included) will build a page somewhere off the live part of Wikipedia (some even user Word or notepad), then once it's mostly done, put it live. I'd recommend the subpage of your user page per above (e.g. User:Mbelaunde/Sproose). If you do this, let me know when it's up and the link, and I'll help you with it. - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will reword the original content and make it so it is as non-promotional as possible. I will repost it later and -hopefully- it is acceptable this time. Thank you for all your help Mbelaunde (talk) 17:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, any time... happy editing... - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, i know you're busy all the time, but if u got a chance, could you bring back the article on my subpage and read it? I just want to know which parts you think are unacceptable, and maybe I can take them out... I don't know where to start since like i said before, anything i write could sound promotional...

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.99.1 (talk) 06:46, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I can't. I don't have access to what has been deleted. You might check with an admin, I think one of them could do that... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Usurp request

Just had a look at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations#Adolphus79 → Adolph78. I see no problem with the usurping (yeah, he made edits, but they weren't valid in my opinion), but could you register a throw-away account? That will make sure that the account stays in your possession. Just a "Adolphus Temp" account or something like that, and then plug that name into the request. Thanks! EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:53, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ok, so make a new account, and usurp Adolph78 with that new account? - Adolphus79 (talk) 15:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ayup. Ordinarily this would be an issue, but since it's just a vandalism-only account we're talking about, you should be able to usurp it without an issue. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:01, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thank you, I'll do that now... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:02, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

done... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. I'll probably be around on the 16th to perform the rename. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:17, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thank you

thank you. my coworker says he does have account on here for a long time. i have a message on my page about it. thank you! ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by I said wat wat (talk • contribs) 22:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sock Puppet?

Dear Sir,

I logged onto wikipedia today and noticed you labeled my account as a sock puppet account. I noticed changes to and back to my original page then your label. I believe my account was hacked and even though I can't find any traces of vandalism besides this talk page vandal most admin are chasing, I'd appreciate if you'd contact me before doing that again. I'm working on a church of the firstborn project that is very important to me just like I'm sure all your edits are to you. Anyway, please let me know if I can do anything to help. Thank you. Learjetsuperkingairmechanic (talk) 19:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the evidence of sockpuppety is here and here, not to mention the disruptive tagging here... if you are not the same user, why are you making the exact same edits? - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:38, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sir,

 As I stated before we share the same IP address and I'm sorry for any edits this vandalizing fiend has made to wikipedia. I have respect and integrity and I'm 110% committed to my project. If you would like you can email me at chase.molloy@chickasaw.net or even call my home phone 580-272-7527 and we'll talk. I've changed my password and things seem to be in order now. I'm sorry for the confusion. I am a true good faith editor. Thank you for your time. Learjetsuperkingairmechanic (talk) 20:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
