Hello Wyllium, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for spotting all that vandalism you've been reverting. Just a tip though - it would be really helpful if you could explain in your edit summaries your reasons for reverting rather than just writing rv. Even though it's often obvious, a short description, even just "rv vandalism" saves people checking why you reverted. If you haven't already found it, you might find the tutorial helpful. If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Angela. 13:58, May 24, 2004 (UTC)

I made a comment I think you should read at [1]. Thue 22:22, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone can use it now. Come and help! It's all started off from Wikipedia:Categorization. Angela. 10:26, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]


Help needed

from the pump

This is probably not the right place for this request, so feel free to move it.

If you have time, or don't know what to do, I'd appreciate some help with the Chemical Elements category. It seems pretty essential that we have such a category, but adding the tag to every element article takes ages.

You'll earn my Eternal Gratitude

Have you considered subcategories? I'm thinking chemical series here. -- Cyrius|✎ 06:54, 31 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I have started a "Noble gasses" myself. However, and this applies to the antire principle of categories, if you have a parent category of "Elements" and sub categories of "Noble gasses" and "Metallics", should the parent directory contain all the elements of the subcatagories as well? I think they should, otherwise you'd never be able to browse the entire list of elements. Similarly, people in "WWII people" should be part of "People" as well.

Wikipedia:Categorization has a full discussion of this. Meelar 07:08, 31 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted article question

Wyllium, I hope you'll be able to help me out with something. I recently discovered the archived VfD page Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Steuard_Jensen, which apparently discussed an article about me that appeared here (inappropriately, I agree!). I'm actually somewhat curious to know who wrote that article (and for that matter, what was in it), and your comments when voting for deletion of the page seem to indicate that you know whom the author was. If you happen to have any record of that, could you let me know? Thanks. (And please forgive me if I could easily find out somehow myself; I'm still fairly new here.)--Steuard 19:00, Jul 9, 2004 (UTC)

Requests for comment/24.168.92.117

Hi. I've created Wikipedia:Requests for comment/24.168.92.117 (Keith Wigdor). I saw that you tried talking to this user on his talk page about his edits, and I was wondering if you'd want to certify the dispute. Quadell (talk) 17:30, Jul 29, 2004 (UTC)

Message to John Howard vandal

Wyllium, I think you mean John Howard. But thanks anyway. Lacrimosus 12:48, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Glossary

I'm confused. Here is a link to Encarta's article on Flaconry, which contains a glossary of terms, here is our policy stating that glossaries are ok to include, here is a list of glossaries that we already have. Obviously a glossary is not the same utility as a dictionary. Collections of specialist terms are entirely suitable for Wikipedia. Mark Richards 20:18, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Friendly reminder

User:Halibutt was somewhat upset when Category:Ogg_files_by_Halibutt was deleted without him noticing. I guess part of the problem was that the customary {{cfd}} tag was not added to his category when it was nominated. So, I thought I'd drop a line here. Other people who examined the category before it was deleted should have picked up on that, including me; I guess we just need to be more careful about that in the future.

Thanks!

Beland

Speedy Delete

It just doesn't look very encyclopedic. 66.245.21.126 01:17, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If you're talking about that Susan Pratt debacle, may I refer you to User:B-Movie Bandit? This nonsense has been going on for months. - Lucky 6.9 01:30, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi, again. Actually, a number of these articles have been speedy deleted. I appreciate your not wanting to lose factual information but this guy, gal, bot or whatever it is just keeps coming out with these things. It's been quite a donnybrook on the "user page" developed just for this, well, user. Tell you what: I'll put a substub notice on it. Several of these things have been cleaned up in the past by everyone except the original poster. In fact, this guy has actually decontented existing articles. - Lucky 6.9 01:43, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for making this a VfD. This guy isn't the problem he once was but anything he does that gets sent packing is OK by me.  :^) Best, Lucky 6.9 01:47, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

My pleasure. Maybe a real article will come out of this. - Lucky 6.9 01:52, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
