Help me with Royall Tyler disambiguation

To whoever answers this help request, this is what I would like to know:

I'm currently reading a book that has been recently translated by Royall Tyler, a retired professor of an Australian university. This is not the same person as Royall Tyler, the American playwright who died some 150 years ago. I know how to make a stub for Tyler the translator, but I don't understand the help directions for how to do the disambiguation. Please help me. Thanks! --Tachikoma 15:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have two options:

If the translator is less popular than the playwright. In that case, create the translator's article at Royall Tyler (academic). Then put a notice like "For the Australian professor, see Royall Tyler (academic). at the top of the Royall Tyler article
Move Royall Tyler to Royall Tyler (playwright) (using the move button). Then create a disambiguation page at Royall Tyler, pointing to the two articles: Royall Tylerr (playwright) and Royall Tyler (academic).

I can help you with either option, just let me know.--Commander Keane 15:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All you do is write your article with a name like Royall Tyler (australian translator) or similar title. Then you make reference to the Royall Tyler page that contains a list of "Disambiguations" i.e. peopl of the same name, containing links and one liner description of what distinguishes them. If the Royall Tyler article is taken (i.e. exists) you can just make a link at the top of the article like {{dablink|for the playwriter of the same name, see [[Royall Tyler]]}} and another one on the top of the other article pointing in the other direction. If there are a number of such people you could generate a disambiguation article with number of pople of similar or same name like Royall Tyler (disambiguation). Hope that helps. Try something, let me know and I'll have a look at it. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 15:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IP 24.136.105.18

I'll go ahead and delete the page. You can place the warning on the user's talk page if you feel it's appropriate, but s/he seems to have gone. -- Vary | Talk 16:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But for the record, yes, I think it's acceptable to blank the anon's user page and move the comment to talk. If the talk page for that anon hasn't been created yet, it might be better to move the page, rather than copy and pasting, but in this case that wasn't possible, as the talk page already had comments on it. -- Vary | Talk 16:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re User:Froggles page

Hi there, I'm leaving you this message because a while ago you contacted me [1] about the aforementioned page. I'm sure there isn't much point to this, but it seems that page has been hit with vandals, as noted by [2], [3], etc. I"ve reveted again, but it seems the user is no longer here, so I am wondering whether, at this point, reverting even matters. What's your thought? --Pilo t|guy 21:48, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What you're looking for is [4] (godmode light) or [5] (popups). Either one works but godmode light is usually glitchy so I would just use popups. --Pilo t|guy 00:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder...

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 21:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot to subst: here -- User talk:81.159.96.49. Don't fret, everyone makes mistakes -- we're not perfect! Happy editing! — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 03:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If however there is a problem in the script itself, you could have a large but easy to fix problem. Many people use these two anti-vandal tools, so many people could unintentionally be creating raw test messages. -- that's actually not a bad thought. That may be the case after all. Would you mind looking into it? I'd do it myself, but I don't know which software you use and whatnot. See what you come up with. Thanks. In that case of course, all you'd have to do is fix the javascript. I don't know anything about Javascript, so don't look at me. :P

I'm a bit fuzzy on the advantage of using subst: versus the raw test warning. Does the subst: prefix put a non-editable copy of the warning on the talk page versus a warning that's actually linked to the template (and which could be changed if someone altered the original template)? That's mostly true, however the template text is not non-editable, but essentially, the warning is copied from the template at that instant. But essentially, you have the general idea of what subst: does. Happy editing! — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 03:19, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Status indicator

I went ahead and added to to your page. If you need to change it just go to User:Tachikoma/Status. There are three indicators you can use; online, busy, and away (offline). Just replace {{User:Tachikoma/Status2|away}} with one of those three. This was created (I think) by Misza13 as well, not by me. --Pilot|guy 02:23, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

"Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Cystic fibrosis. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Tachikoma 11:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC)!

I'd like to apologise on behalf of my bro for him mindlessly editing rubbish into articles. Little did I realise his edits would tarnish my own IP address. I'd like to know whether I have any official warning to my name now, or whether it was a purely verbal warning. - Si
