User talk:Dan Koehl

(Jane Rose Barry (talk) 19:14, 9 May 2015 (UTC)) Hi[reply]

I did everything asked in your edit comments but it didn't save - or someone is vandalizing the page; the images ARE by him - who is removing them?? on what basis??

I had added lots of internal links and citation, categories everything - but they are all gone!!!

I don't know what is happening. I hope you can help.

There was (is?) a version with images, captions, citation, categories - the lot. But somehow it is not visible.

With any luck you can find this and reinstate it. And please stop whoever is taking it upon themselves to delete the pictures from the creative commons. This is ridiculous!

WP:BLPPROD doesn't apply to pages that have references, as this one did. He doesn't seem to be notable though, so an AFD might be a good idea instead. --Jakob (talk) 23:48, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree @Jakec:, I changed to ADF. Dan Koehl (talk) 00:46, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was actually a speedy deletion tag, but no matter. It seems to have been deleted now. --Jakob (talk) 03:01, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Lewis Hilsenteger

Hello Dan Koehl. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Lewis Hilsenteger, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There's one source which is enough for A7. Take to AfD if required. Thank you. Ged UK 12:49, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then please tell them how to write a news item that doesn't take up an entire paragraph

Because all I've been trying to do is shorten it down to one or two sentences and they keeps reverting it back to their version. I don't know if it's a language barrier or their parents dropped them on their head, but they're not grokking it.--71.62.250.238 (talk) 21:41, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diplomacy

For stepping in to help mediate an edit war between two IP users. Your messages were an example of helpfulness, civility, and good faith, and rendered administrator intervention unnecessary. Efforts such as these really help to foster the collaborative environment that we strive for here, and for that, I award you the Barnstar of Diplomacy. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Thank you @Swarm: for your kind words.Dan Koehl (talk) 03:53, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AWB

Thanks for your kind words.

Regarding stubs: what kind of stub-sorting are you looking to do? Category:All stub articles contains all articles tagged with every single stub tag. Also, AWB automatically adds a stub tag to the bottom of any article it deems short enough to require it - those require further sorting, though.

As for the template, a way around the problem is by using the "what links here" option. So instead of finding every instance of "ait" on the encyclopedia, you can find only those pages that link to the template. Would that help? --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:42, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should have explained more details, the issue is not here on EnWp, but ona sister project, Wikispecies.

I want to use AWB to locate all stubs, which yet have not been categorized with Category:Stub. So my question is more generic; how I can search for and filter out stubs, so I can mark them with Category:Stubs, using AWB. Alternatively, how/where can I activate the automatic stub marking you mention? (But then AWB must go through all files on the wiki, sounds not easy.

Regarding the template, the idea is to remove that template on over 2 000 articles with AWB. But without risking that files with plain text Ait also get that text removed. So the question is how to filter out only where its written {{Ait}} but not just plain text Ait? I tried useing the two "XXX" around, like "{{Ait}}" but AWB still lists files with plain text Ait.

Thanks for your time. Dan Koehl (talk) 21:22, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, for the former: AWB adds the tag automatically, as long as the boxes under "automatic changes" are checked. (I never bother unchecking them - they do some helpful formatting stuff.)

For the latter: this is the template, correct? This is the page I would use. It shows you what pages link to the template, so you can avoid catching anything that doesn't. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 23:47, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks alot! Dan Koehl (talk) 00:49, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Any time - happy to be of help. :-)

Happy editing! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:53, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Paris Zoological Park

Just for the record, there is already an article for one of the zoos in the list on your front page. The article is very basic at this point but it's there. Zoo de Vincennes (+Vincennes Zoo, Bois de Vincennes Zoological Park, Paris Zoo) just need to be redirected to Paris Zoological Park. Cheers, 62.107.216.186 (talk) 16:04, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that message, much appreciated! Dan Koehl (talk) 00:11, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Understood edit in my user page

Hi! I'm an user of the italian wikipedia, and a month ago (16 March) you edited my talk page writing a Template of your Wikipecies user page... why you did this?

Pierre Carbonnier

I removed REF www.kcff.net/photography/animals/fish/anabantoids/betta/splendens/article.htm from Pierre_Carbonnier. It appears to be a self published website. (And I got black text on a black background? I had to select-all to read it.) The kcff.com page appears to cite amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1890087122/ as it's source. Baensch Aquarium Atlas (Vol. 1, 6th Edition). That might make a valid ref for the article, but I didn't check. Alsee (talk) 18:33, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Alsee:, I didn't notice that bad link. Dan Koehl (talk) 19:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
