Your comment
The "List of Drug:x" is what name of the drug started with that character, or intinal. your example is D, meaning all drug name what started with D, e.g. dalfopristin. Thank you. Bus88MRT (talk) 02:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- yes thank you for pointing that out. I made a goof. That was the last remaining article who's most recent edit was from 2005, so i guess i ruined that. ! Tim1357 (talk) 02:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Sentence Function
Hello there.
Hi, wasn't sure how to message you but i figure you can delete this as soon as you read it. I just wanted to let you know that I originally started the 'Sentence Function' article (you can check this yourself) and was merely reverting my two interrogatives back to what they were originally as I need two separate examples: 'what do you want?' is an example of a question procurring previously unknown information, while 'is david gay?' is a question validation for a preconceived notion. This is not any form of tagging. Thank you.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Nimic86 (talk • contribs) 00:00, 3 November 2009

D.G.E. Hall article
Dear Tim, thanks for your offer of help with my article on D.G.E. Hall. I have to admit that I am completely new to writing and editing Wikipedia articles. I did try to study and follow all guidelines but it seems I am not getting it right. I believe the subject matter is of interest: D.G.E. Hall wrote the definitive history on SE Asia and was the leading authority on the region at the time when world focused on Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.
I realise I need a couple more references and will get them soon.
I have posted a photograph of D.G.E Hall to Wikimedia Commons, I now need to work out how to use this in the article.
Thanks very much for your offer of help. I greatly appreciate it.Chriseve (talk) 00:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
- I did some improvements to the article. Right now the article is unreferenced, other then the autobiography. I would suggest adding some more references. Other then that you shouldn't be worried (right now) about loosing your article. I am waiting for a response from the user who suggested the overhaul in the first place, Ill report back when I hear from him. Tim1357 (talk) 00:22, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you so much. I am very grateful. I will get a couple of other references.Chriseve (talk) 01:49, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't have anything better to do, so i went ahead and fixed the article. Looks better now if I don't say myself. I used all your information, I just re-formatted it. Also, I added an infobox. Infoboxes are those nifty little things you see on the sides of articles. I think they add to the encyclopedia-ness of the article. Anyways, I added what information I saw on the article. Fill in any of the fields that you can find and reference (and its ok to leave some blank). Ask me any questions you want. --Tim1357 (talk) 00:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

About the edit war
Yes, I am participating in an edit war, I admit, but bear in mind that not only I but also is the IP 69.125.77.106 which is also participating in the edit war. I knew something about this would happen, but tell me not only to me, Tell the IP, which is not only in this war, but also insists that placing a redirection is invalid. I was explaining it but he just does not understand, so this edit war. I apologize for that, will not happen again. Archibald Leitch (talk) 02:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- I warned the IP too. Tim1357 (talk) 02:41, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Questionable Revert...
Hi Tim, can you help me? I made a change on the "Post Falls, Idaho" page, and your bot keeps reverting my change for "Andrew Seltice".

Adding Sources
Could you please explain to me how to add a source when editing an article?Cheddarjack (talk) 22:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- Sure! To add cite something, put it between two <ref> tags. So that means, if you wanted to cite google.com, you would add <ref>google.com</ref>. Note the forward slash at the end of the second <ref> tag. The source will automaticaly be added to the Reference section of the article with a footnote. Good Luck!

Block Review Por Favor (moved from user talk:PhilKnight)
Hey ther PhilKnight,
I was wondering what the reason was behind the block on User:Cheddarjack. It seems that the last edits he/she made were legitimate. If you could, either un-block him/her or reply on my talk page. Thanks Tim1357 (talk) 22:32, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Tim, I blocked the account because it engaged in vandalism. I don't consider that asking a couple of questions makes any difference. PhilKnight (talk) 22:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes but were they not in god faith? The only vandalism like edits appear to be the ones saying that Disaster Movie Was the "worst movie.... He/she later defended that edit, citing the reception. If they were in good faith, then they were not deliberate attempts to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. . Tim1357 (talk) 22:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- Also, take a look at the user's talk page, where there is an unblock request going on. Tim1357 (talk) 22:43, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- Looking more closely, I agree, the only edit that is definitely wrong is the unsourced opinion. I've unblocked on that basis. PhilKnight (talk) 22:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

- Yes I felt awful for reporting him -- since I based it all on that one edit and the multiple warnings on his page. After I reported him, I looked through his contributions, and seen a lot of box office (gross on films) changes on different films. I thought oh great, more reverting. But after I read through and seen that all of the edits were actually genuine, and I even seen that one he made on Disaster Movie and didn't think that was vandalism. He was just adding what another site had said (obviously he didn't/don't fully understand WP guidelines). So I understand why he got all those warnings, because it did appear he was vandalizing and we should have AGF (which can be difficult, I admit). I'm just glad PhilKnight got it sorted out in a timely fashion -- and lesson learned on my part. :)
- PS: Great job at reverting the IP vandalism on Ice-T, I was about to click roll it back, but you caught it. --Mike Allen talk · contribs 00:50, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
LCHS edit
I can see taking out the objective material, but why do a blanket deletion? Way to delete factual material in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.114.41 (talk) 23:13, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, yore right. My anti-vandalism software reverted all of it. In any case, the other removed content was not very neutral, feel free to add it back (this time without the objective material) Tim1357 (talk) 23:18, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
So you're not even reading what content you're removing, you just rely on a software program to do it? Great.98.244.114.41 (talk) 23:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- Nope, i reverted the edit that said "cool guy" (or whatever it was) and the software reverted the previous one as well (assuming that it was un-constructive too). Like I said, feel free to re-add the section on wrestling. Ask any more questions you have here! Good Luck! Tim1357 (talk) 23:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with your revert on GNUstep. The link to EggPlant was in good faith, because developers are porting it from Mac OS X with the help of GNUstep (just see the GNUstep mailing list). --TMC1221 (talk) 02:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oh really? I guess i need to read the style guideline on external links because it seemed kind of spammy. Then again, I hate external link sections (they all seem to me to be link dumps-sections). Also, it was listed as a spam link on WP:Wikiproject Spam. In any case, I did not assume bad faith, I just reverted it because It was not a very resourceful link (see www.testplant.com): it adds no information to the subject. But you are entitled to your opinion, and Iwill not contest you reverting my edit. Tim1357 (talk) 02:09, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hello dear comrade. This same user has been creating multiple accounts and hasn't stopped hounding my edits or user page for the last 5 years. I don't know how to deal with this problem. His ip addresses are synonymous with 166.137.6.132, 166.137.8.158, 166.137.6.25, 166.137.9.58. All have a 166.137 denomination. He also uses other computers and runs around to annoy and instigate problems from different accounts. I've tried to avoid it entirely in the past, but what he does is put up afd (article for deletion) proposals on many of the articles I've worked on, or even deletes much of my information, or just plain vandalizes my user and talk page. I don't know why this person does this, but is there a way to block this person entirely from editing in a way that we can avoid this problem entirely. He instigates me to revert his vandalism and I've been blocked before for breaking the 3rr rule on numerous articles; where I've reverted his madness over 3 times; and that's resulted in my being blocked before. I seriously want to avoid that dilemma, so I'm hoping my asking for help doesn't fall on deaf ears. There has to be a way to stop this person from vandalizing and adding nonsense and gibberish on my user and talk pages. I appreciate any and all help I can receive. - Zarbon (talk) 14:40, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- So, I will try to address all of your concerns. You have the right to remove the AFD templates, so you are right there. However, IP socks are a bit iffy. Sometimes IP addresses change, due to the ISP. I suggest that you bring this up at WP:AN/I. They are a bit better at these complex conflicts. In fact, Ill do that for you, however I am not going to side with anyone, and whatever happens will happen. Ill send you the link when I've finished. Tim1357 (talk) 04:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, seems like he is already blocked, and cannot create any more accounts. Tell me if you have any more problems! Tim1357 (talk) 04:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

- This user Lord Freeza is yet another sockpuppet of the aforementioned ip addresses. He has been adding afd tags like I had warned prior; he is also the person responsible for having all the numerous sockpuppets. He has a long history of following my contributions and either vandalizing or reverting them, or adding afd tags. Please help me deal with this situation. I had hoped that he would have stopped this incessant vandalism and gibberish, but after 5 years, he's still an idiot and has continued the same moronic behavior. - Zarbon (talk) 16:13, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

You may not know that there is currently a discussion at WT:CITE about whether replacing duplicate footnotes with "named" footnotes should be required. That discussion needs to conclude before anyone can discuss the order of footnotes, because the use of named footnotes is the only way to cause footnotes to appear out of numerical order in the first place. I do agree that, once the issue of named footnotes is resolved, the issue of numerical order should also be addressed. WP:CITE is the appropriate page to discuss requirements on formatting of references. — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:Biosynthesis of nonproteinogenic amino acid (SVG).svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
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.
- Please avoid generating images using a tracing utility and uploading them straight to Wikipedia. Firstly, the image you uploaded mentioned above contained a linked raster graphic and so couldn't be rendered by the Wikimedia server. Secondly, the image you uploaded over the corresponding PNG file was in SVG format - the file type has to correspond with the file extension of the file on the server, otherwise things get very messy (and broken). Thirdly, images that are generated by tracing tools are in general lower quality than the original raster graphics - particularly if the originals contain text, lines, and antialiasing (the antialiasing results in multiple shapes being created; the lines result in splodges, and the text is converted to loosely-similar shapes rather than SVG text - all of which were evident in the image you uploaded). If you are interested in learning to create or convert SVG illustrations for Wikipedia, I suggest you ask at the Graphic Lab for some advice. Stannered (talk) 20:43, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yea, the images I've been trying to upload only work on my machine. Also, I looked for some sort of tutorial from the Graphics lab, but there is none, so I was on my own. Thanks for the suggestions, I've pretty much given up on becoming a member of the graphics lab, its to confusing and tedious. Tim1357 (talk) 21:23, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Tim, I have rollback and I use Huggle, but I saw one of your edits where you reverted 3 different editors at once with Huggle. How did you rollback multiple users in Huggle? Thanks! Kevinmon•talk•trib 21:45, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- See those blue arrows on the top of the huggle window? You can use those to navigate through the page's history. When you find the good revision, and if you revert to it, Huggle mentions all of the editors whose edits you are reverting, in the edit summary. I think that makes sense.

untill->until
I know its nearly inevitable when using AWB or something similar that when one has altered many pages, not to look too carefully at what is being altered, but please be careful in the case of this edit you altered spellings within a {{quotation}}. If one reads the quote it is easy to see that the spelling with in the quotation is archaic and one needs to look at the source to see if it is or is not a spelling mistake. --PBS (talk) 08:43, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
- Whoops! sorry i didn't see the {{quotation}} or know that "untill" was an archaic spelling of "until". Thanks for the heads up! Tim1357 (talk) 16:28, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
- Its not so much archaic, but spelling was not consistent (No dictionaries), so spellings vary from person to person, for example in this particular quoted text "dominions" and "ninth" are spelt Domynions and nynth. Further the text like this are often hand written and transcribed into print at a later date, the secondary sources that exist in things like Google Books, often chose to transcribe them in different ways, so the same text can be found with different spelling etc in different sources. -- PBS (talk) 16:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

{{help me}} There's this user who is being completely biased and unfair in several arguments I'm having with him regarding the American Civil War. He isn't reasonable, always gets his little Wikipedian friends to support him and reports me for the 3RR rule thing, just because I started it first. How do I report him or get him kicked out of the Civil War project on Wikipedia? Thanks!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Valkyrie Red (talk • contribs)
- Well, ill try and help you guys figure stuff out, let me take a look through what's happened and ill get back in a sec. Tim1357 (talk) 02:52, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Im having trouble finding where the conflict has been. Who is the user that you have a dispute with? Tim1357 (talk) 03:07, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hal Jaspersen, but he goes by HLJ whenever he's signing his posts.Red Wiki 03:16, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Im sorry i cant find one example of you two crossing paths. To the best of my knowledge, neither of you have ever edited American Civil War. Please give me a link to a diff or something. Tim1357 (talk) 03:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Plus Hlj hasn't edited in like 3 months! Tim1357 (talk)`
Hi Tim - I think Red is referring to the TL;DR discussios at Talk:Battle of Gettysburg; here and here.
- And, erm, good luck with that! AJCham 05:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, it seems like you guys had a fairly civil conversation, it may have been a bit heated, but it seemed fair. As for your blocks, I cannot do anything. Im sorry to say that you brok the 3 Revert Rule. Even if it is a meaningful reason, you should never revert a good faith edit more then twice. The best thing to do, when you have conflicts like this, is go to the corresponding wikipeoject's talk page and ask for input. More then likely, you will get more then you neeed. Finally, you can ask for a topic ban for Hal Jasperson at AN/I but it will probably not come to anything. As far as I can see, he did not do anything wrong. Ask any questions here, Ill try to get back to you sooner then I have! Tim1357 (talk) 00:00, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Moved from "HLJ" Section on this page.
- Hey Tim, just wanted to tell you that he hasn't only been bugging me on Talk:Battle of Gettysburg but also here andhere.
Hope you can helpRed Wiki 02:51, 26 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added byValkyrie Red (talk • contribs)
- Still I see no reason why he is being unfair. Maybe I am missing something big, but he seems completely reasonable. I have looked through all of your conversations, and it seems like you two are simply having content disputes, which is perfectly suited to the article's talk page. Im going to see if I can get Hal to comment here, to see what he thinks. Tim1357 (talk) 03:04, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

That wasn't a vandalism edit; artificial sweeteners are proven to be worse for your health than sugar. Also, if you look at your revision, you restored the vandalism that I corrected a few days ago. Why? 98.216.203.117 (talk) 02:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- I never said it was vandalism what i said was:
. It is important to cite anything and everything that you change in the encyclopedia. I restored the vandalism by accident (removed again here) because when I hit "revert" it reverts to the last revision that wasn't yours. In other words, it was my screw up. Thank you for removing the vandalism in the first place, and don't hesitate to ask me any more questions!

How do I cite info? 98.216.203.117 (talk) 03:01, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Well, anything you put between two <ref> tags becomes a footnote at the end of the page. For example, if I wanted to cite google.com , I would put it in the article like this <ref>google.com</ref>. There are more fancy ways to do it, but this way gets the job done. Remember that the source has to be secondary and reliable. Tim1357 (talk) 03:20, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Request for Reconsideration of Deletion / Canasta
Hello Tim -
I posted a request for reconsideration of deletion to Alphachimp on October 1st. I see that Alphachimp doesn't appear to be very active any longer.
Would you be able to help me with this request? Thanks -

- Sure, the NPR source seems to bee good enough to assert notability. I ask the admin to unserfy the article in question, and Ill help the user get it ready to be moved to the main-space. thanks! Tim1357 (talk) 16:17, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- I have undeleted it to Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Canasta (band). That gives you and Gouache23 a month to get it ready for the mainspace. This is a useful but fairly new idea: see Wikipedia:Article Incubator for details of how it works. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:33, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, that works too. Thanks! Tim1357 (talk) 16:34, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Daily FfD pages and this discussion
I haven't heard back from him. You asked me to let you know.--Rockfang (talk) 06:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- Okey Dokey, Ill get to it this weekend. Would you want the bot to add a box to all the previous days? Or just start from current? Tim1357 (talk) 12:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- You could just start from the current I'm thinking. Thank you for this.--Rockfang (talk) 12:52, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- And just every night at midnight kinda thing? Tim1357 (talk) 22:34, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- Every new day (12 am) going with UTC time would be my suggestion. Or maybe like 5-10 minutes later to make sure Zorglbot has started the new day's FfD page.--Rockfang (talk) 05:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

The tool discussed on IRC
I thought I would let you know, I've posted the motivation and purpose statement for CollabRC (tenatively-named), the tool I was discussing in IRC a few days ago that I would like to develop to improve the capabilities of rollbackers on Wikipedia. I thought you might be interested in it and wanted to invite you personally to look it over and let me know if you have any specific features or criticisms that may be constructive for the project. I hope you don't feel this is inappropriate canvassing; I just respect you and figured you might want to get a better idea of where I am going, and I value your input. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, or if you have any comments regarding the project itself, feel free to bring it up on the talk page there. Thanks! --Shirik (talk) 06:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Database dumps
The way to process these is by scanning them which is actually pretty quick. The articles "only" dump takes between eight minutes and an hour, depending on what I am doing with it - probably it could be sped up more. I use perl, I can write a script in a few minutes from scratcch and if it is one I already have something similar, even quicker. For example I was trying to find a language stub I created, the following code listed all where I am the last editor. (Didn't actually find the stub, but that's another story.)
while(<>){ chomp; if(/<title>(.*)<\/title>/){$title=$1;} if(/<username>(.*)<\/username>/){ if($1 eq "Rich Farmbrough"){ $mine=1; } else {$mine=0;} } if ($mine ==1 && /lang-stub/){print "$title\n";} }
