Thanks for protecting my page.
Thank you for reverting the edit made by User: Kalcheri on October 8, 2008. I am not very active on Wikipedia anymore, but I do check Wikipedia articles once in a while. By the way, he has also vandalized my User talk page, which you missed, but I have reverted it.
I am suspecting that User: Kalcheri is a sock puppet of User:GoToWizetWiz, User:WizetWiz and 99.244.23.130. All of those users have been banned besides User:Kalcheri, I believe. I am thinking this because no one else has targeted vandalism at me. He's a previous student of my school as noted from some of his vandalism. I am telling you this because I do not have the time (as stated above) and I trust you with this information.
Please report him if you believe you must do so. I would really like someone to do so. Respond or do whatever you must. Please update me about whatever's happening that needs to be done. Once again, it may take a few days or some time for me to respond, even if you email me.
People like you really do help Wikipedia incredibly. I thank you for your work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NotYouHaha (talk • contribs) 05:15, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

No content in Category:Hidden Palms episodes
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Hidden Palms episodes, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Hidden Palms episodes has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Hidden Palms episodes, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 08:10, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. I'm glad (but somewhat surprised) to see that the vandal didn't go after you for doing so. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 13:36, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

How to upload photos
Thanks for your help; I created the page (although the links aren't as smooth as they could be).
Do you know how to upload photos? I tried "upload file" but it says that to do so, I need to be a "better" (not that exact word but I can't remember the terminology). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jockinmystyles (talk • contribs) 03:55, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- In order to upload images, your account has to be at least four days old. When your account is old enough, use the "Upload file" link as you tried to do before. If you want to know more about how to upload, please read Wikipedia:Uploading images. Thanks and please let me know if there are any more questions. --Mysdaao talk 03:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Updating occupational therapy
HI, thanks for the feedback. I left those messages there as there is a group of us working on this article across the globe this week. Any chance you could put it all back? --VirtualOT (talk) 00:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- VirtualOT, the comment you made, "This needs to be made more succinct. readers will only read one or two paragraphs!", does not belong in the Occupational therapy article itself. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it is appropriate to have encyclopedic content in the article, and not communications between editors on what should or should not be placed there. Every article has a talk page specifically for discussions between editors on how to improve articles. At the top of the page, there is a tab labeled "discussion". The talk page for Occupational therapy can be found at Talk:Occupational therapy. I see that you have already added your thoughts on how to improve the article. That is the appropriate place for you and your group to write messages on how to work on the article. Please see Wikipedia:Talk page and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines if you'd like to know more about how talk pages work. Thanks and please let me know if there are any more questions. --Mysdaao talk 02:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanx
We wanted to get back to you to thank you for your various edits on the article we set up on mid-east human rights activist Wissam Tarif. It's not easy working out how best to fit in with the Wikipedia format - we found this particularly difficult when approaching a biography-type article, which this is. However, your edits have given us good pointers and we are grateful for your intervention. One question still remains for us: we note that the photo of Tarif has been removed from the article. We don't exactly understand why including a photo of the person whose bio is being written should not be legitimate (there are no copyright infringement issues and its taken from Commons). Would it not be ok for us to re-introduce the removed pic?Futcha1975sam (talk) 11:06, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- Futcha1975sam, uploaded images require information on the source in order to verify that there is no copyright infringement. The photo of Wissam Tarif was removed under criteria for speedy deletion I4, which means that it did not have licensing information. I didn't look at the image's information before it was deleted, so I don't know what was included there, but here is the deletion log. The version in Commons was deleted too for the same reason. All of the information on the policy on images can be seen here. In short, you have to add a image copyright tag and give information on the image's source.
- I'm glad to give assistance on this or any issue on Wikipedia. If you have any more questions on anything, please let me know. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 13:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanx again - another question!
Thanx for that, Mysdaao. I wonder if you can help on another matter: we're setting up a similar article in Spanish. One of the sections requires us to include some Arabic language quotation, but although we know the editing code for that in English, it doesn't work out with the Spanish version. Where can we get that info? Thanx again.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Futcha1975sam (talk • contribs) 21:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not that familiar with the Spanish Wikipedia, but I've found Plantilla:Lang there. This template can be used by putting {{lang|ar|Arabic text}} in the article. You can also ask your question at Wikipedia:Café/Portal/Archivo/Ayuda/Actual on the Spanish Wikipedia because they might know a better way to do what you want there. --Mysdaao talk 13:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

thank you! i have another question!
thank you so much for your help... yes, I actually mentioned a new product that is available in order to isolate autologous platelet rich plasma... i appologize... so i can republish it without the name? only mentioning the new technology and no more? do you think that would avoid any problems? and can I include then a link for more info to a webpage of the technology or that would delete the article again?
--Anto217 (talk) 15:00, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Anto217, without knowing exactly why it was deleted, it is difficult to tell you what needs to be done to address the reasons it was deleted. A general explanation of what is and isn't blatant advertising can be found at Wikipedia:Spam, so you should read that. I suggest you then talk to Nihiltres on his or her talk page and ask what needs to change in the content for it to remain on Wikipedia. Another option is to post your request to Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thanks and please let me know if there are any more questions! --Mysdaao talk 15:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
RE:Removal of content during stub sorting
I apologise for those edits, I will be more careful in the future. Waacstats (talk) 07:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- No need to apologize. I just wanted to let you know it was happening. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 11:58, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for coming! I indeed need some help...
Hi Mysdaao, the "tag" of my nickname ("343KKT_") comes from my former "virtual squadron", some kind of friends association, but I simply left it... so now I'm not allowed any more tu use the tag "343KKT_". I just need to move my current nickname, "343KKT_Kintaro", to, for example, "Kintaro-san", and all will be ok. I guess I can move myself the name of my user page, but I ignore the consequences... do you know if there's any official Wikipedia procedure to change my user page name ? Thanks for answering ! 343KKT Kintaro (talk) 15:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- You have to request a username change at Wikipedia:Changing username. While logged in with your current username, follow the instructions on that page to make a request. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 15:36, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

removing an article
Hello. There is an article about me that I would like to be removed. Some of the info, I don't want associated with me. Please help me. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kimofr (talk • contribs) 14:41, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Kimofr, if you are truly the subject of the article Chris Bradds, then you are strongly encouraged not to edit the article because it is a conflict of interest. I suggest you read the section at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#Editors who may have a conflict of interest on how to handle the situation. You should not remove large amounts of text because of your personal preferences that the material not be on Wikipedia. You are allowed to make minor edits (such as grammar, spelling, and fixing vandalism) any time you want to. If you wish to make substantial edits, please suggest your changes on the article's talk page at Talk:Chris Bradds, stating specifically what you want changed and why, and you should also state who you are. If the changes are agreed upon after discussion, you or someone else can make those changes. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 14:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. This is definately me and if you could help me remove the article I would greatly appreciate it. I would rather not have info about me in wiki if possible. I won't edit the page, will let someone else do it. I am no longer in the music business and have moved on in other ventures. If you can help, I'd appreciate it. I have never edited before and really have no interest in it. --Kimofr (talk) 16:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- Neither you nor I can delete an article. Only Wikipedia administrators can delete an article, but any user can nominate an article for deletion. The article has already been nominated for deletion, and the discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Bradds. Five days after the nomination (which will be May 2), an administrator will look at the discussion and decide whether or not to delete the article. If it is deleted, then all of the content, including the history, will be removed permanently. If it is not deleted, then I can help you make changes. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 17:32, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. Hopefully it will be deleted but if not you could help get the info right. I appreciate you helping me. Best wishes to you!--Kimofr (talk) 22:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and best wishes to you too! --Mysdaao talk 01:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm an ORPHAN!
You added an orphan tag to my Elfin Rabbit article. How do I link other articles? There are a few that relate. For instance: Rabbit Show Jumping. Maybe you could link that one and I could see how you did it. I clicked on links, but it was too complicated for me to understand. Gyldwiz (talk) 23:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC) Hi again! I forgot to ask another question I'm struggling with. How do I add keywords for searching? For instance, can I make a search for "rabbits" show Elfin rabbit? When I view page source I see the html code with keywords, but I don't see that I can modify it. Gyldwiz (talk) 00:03, 16 May 2009 (UTC) Whoo hoo! I think I got the link thing... just brackets the pertinent words! ... still don't know how to add keywords for searching. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gyldwiz (talk • contribs) 01:54, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
- There's no way to directly add keywords for searching. But the internal links that are present in each article determine its keywords for searching. Having more relevant internal links in Elfin rabbit should influence it to show up in related searches. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 03:05, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Pics upload
Hi mysdaao. thankyou for your warm welcome to the wikipedia family and responding to my messages. i have the same query as i havementioned before that i want to add google map to my college wikipage i.e. bhim rao ambedkar college but dont know how. also i would like to format the style of infobox and make it a bit more attractive the way oxford people have done ..howver i failed o create a template for the same. could you guide me with these problems. also i would like to upload my college pics and logo on the page but am not allowed to do so.so can you upload it on my behalf.
you can read my page and let me know if anyother it can be enhanced.
Thanxx again. Amitverma86 (talk) 14:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Amitverma86
- Amitverma86, you're quite welcome, and I will answer your questions as best I can.
- You should not create a new template just for this university. What you should do is modify the usage of the already existing template, Template:Infobox University, in the article. I see that the article Bhim Rao Ambedkar College is already using that template, and you can add information to it. There are a lot of fields for information there, so it should cover what you want to include. Instructions for using it are also at Template:Infobox University. If you have more specific questions on using it, please let me know.
- Instead of adding a Google map image, it's better to use the already existing field of the template to add map data to the infobox. There is a field for coordinates, and you use it by adding a line like this:
coor = {{coord|12.345|-98.765|display=inline,title}}|
- to the infobox of Bhim Rao Ambedkar College after replacing the samples coordinates with the correct ones for the college. That is the suggested way to add map data to a college or university article.
- You will be able to upload images when they are autoconfirmed. Users automatically get autoconfirmed when the account is at least four days old and when the user has made at least ten edits. You have made enough edits, but your account is not old enough yet. I will gladly upload the images for you if you do not wish to wait, but I suggest waiting until your account is old enough so you can upload them yourself. Then you will be credited as the uploader instead of me.
- As I explained, the template you created at Template:Delhi University Infobox is incorrect and not needed. You should request its deletion by adding {{db-g7}} to the top of the page, and an administrator will come along and delete it.
- I hope I've answered your questions. Please let me know if there are any more. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 16:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Template hell
Thanks very much, I get in such a tangle with the templates because the way I do it is to borrow a page that looks like what I want, I used The Listener (TV series) as my example: copy pasted it and then amended it to how I want it for Zorro. I now have the will to live and will slowly work my way through the 88 episodes. Thanks again!!REVUpminster (talk) 19:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Bots
Hello you just commented on my help request for bots. You told me to look at the bot page on wikipedia. it didn't help much. could you help me please? NormiaD and the Gods 17:32, 5 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Normiad (talk • contribs)
- I've never created a bot, so I'm not the right person to ask. Very few people on Wikipedia will know about how to create a bot. If you've read the entire page at Wikipedia:Creating a bot and you still have questions, I can only suggest contacting one of the key people listed here. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance to you. --Mysdaao talk 18:50, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm back
I have just completed 88 episodes of Zorro (1990 TV series) and I know wiki like long episode lists seperated from the main article. I looked at the move procedure and I have not got the nerve to do it in case I mess it up. Could you please help me out? Thank YouREVUpminster (talk) 22:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- You shouldn't move the page because moving a page means changing the name for the entire article Zorro (1990 TV series). Instead, copy the content with the list of episodes into the existing page List of Zorro episodes and then replace the original list in Zorro (1990 TV series) with a link to the new page. If you still have questions, or would like me to make the changes for you, please let me know. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 23:25, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
I went to the page indicated List of Zorro episodes and found a whole history the last one being a merger with Zorro (1990 TV series) so my attempt just took it back to where I started. The original episode guide was only titles and I deleted it before starting mine. So I am now stuck.REVUpminster (talk) 06:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
I know there is the undo button but I do not want to lose everything even though it will still be there somewhere in the mists of wikiepedia.REVUpminster (talk) 06:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- This is happening because the original content of the page, which is "#redirect [[Zorro (1990 TV series)]]", is still on the page and so the redirect is overriding what you added. Just remove that line to remove the redirect. Then the list of episodes will display normally in its own article. Please let me know if there are further questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 12:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks very much. It all seems to work including links and the previous history is there, so I am very pleased. Thanks againREVUpminster (talk) 14:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- You're very welcome. I've made some minor improvements to List of Zorro episodes and Zorro (1990 TV series). The only suggestion I have is to add the sources you used to the bottom of List of Zorro episodes in its own section. Other than that there's not much else I can see that needs to be done. Good work! --Mysdaao talk 17:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Me again, I've seen the tag. I've been looking at other episode guides guides and can not find a box to copy. In fact none were sourced at the bottom. My sources are Epguides, IMDB, and http://www.newworldzorro.com/ Is there a special template? or should I do it as external links? ThanksREVUpminster (talk) 13:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- There's no special template. Just add external links to those sources in a new section at the bottom of the article. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 13:58, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Images
Hi it's me again. Do you know what wikepedia policy is on images on talk pages? I do use my talk page to practice on and images I used and then put on the article remain in the article but disappear from my talk page although the link is there. The reason I ask was the editors do not like original research on an article page but what about on talk pages with the images. My problem is the only reference I can find are visual on youtube. Stupid as it may sound this is for Toronado (Zorro's horse). I am tempted to put the images on the talk pages there.REVUpminster (talk) 18:03, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Images are allowed on talk pages, both article talk pages and user talk pages, if they are free. Non-free images, which are copyrighted images without a free content license, can only be used in an article for encyclopedic purposes. If the images you plan to use are free, you can put them on your user talk page to work on content or on an article talk page to discuss improving the article. But if they're non-free, they can't be used in that way. These policies can be read at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy (see #9), Wikipedia:User page#Images on user pages, and Wikipedia:Image use policy#Image queuing.
- As an added suggestion, if you do plan to work on article content on your user page, it is best to create a subpage by following the directions at Wikipedia:User page#Creating user subpages, and working on it on the subpage.
- Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 20:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Content break
Mysdaao
is there a content break, like when you have a content then we talk about a different subject but on the same topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ob9889 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- When an article has content on a different subject under the same topic, it is best to use a subsection. After the main section heading, which uses the formatting ==Section title==, create a subsection with the formatting ===Subsection title===, which uses three = on both sides instead of two. You can read more about how they work at Help:Section. Please do not use the a horizontal rule (----) for this because it is deprecated, as explained at Wikipedia:Layout#Horizontal rule.
- In the future, please sign your comments on talk pages by adding ~~~~ at the end. This will identify that you wrote the comment and the date and time you wrote it. All of this and more is explained at Wikipedia:Signatures.
- Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 13:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Beyond the milky way
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Beyond the milky way, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Redirecting to page which contains material already covered in numerous other articles
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Jdrewitt (talk) 15:38, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- Proposed deletions apply to articles, lists, and disambiguation pages, but not redirects as described in the policy at Wikipedia:Proposed deletion#How it works. Redirects may be marked for speedy deletion or listed at Redirects for discussion. In the case of these two redirects, it looks like you want the redirects deleted now because you believe the article they redirect to should be deleted. You should wait to see if Beyond The Milky Way is deleted. If it is, you can request a speedy deletion of the redirects under criteria G8 by placing {{db-redirnone}} on the redirects' pages. Thank you. --Mysdaao talk 18:20, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
