RE:Baseball uniform

Sorry I had to step away from my computer for a moment, but I'm back! Its shaping up quite nicely for a new article. I'm not familiar with the DYK criteria but yours has not met DYK's first criterion (it must be 5 days old, see here for more details). That's not a big deal though and five days usually flies by pretty fast. Of course, fix those verification needed tags as well ;). All in all it isn't bad at all, nice work!¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh my bad! Well, fix the verifications and see how it goes.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
As a vandal fighter I have experience with most of those tools ;). So far you have been using them appropriately. I noticed an edit you reverted some time back that was in good faith but haven't saved the diff. I have no qualms with how you are using it at the moment.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 01:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


Further on image

OK - I feel like an idiot. Since you wanted one from the 1800's to 1900's the image's copyright would have expired and it would be public domain. I'll go look now. Sorry for all the confusion. Milk’s Favorite Cookie (Talk) 12:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem! iMatthew 2008 14:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I can't. I have not worked with DYK at all yet, but I'm working on getting over there. iMatthew 2008 14:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

DYK articles

How is the article coming? Are you any closer to DYK? Also, I should've realized 5 days ago that this would've made a pretty good DYK. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 14:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I helped on Yao Ming, which is still GAC. I haven't created any though. I am working on some of the articles here, which I'm sure could make DYK, and in the future GA, but I can't find many websites that talk about those subjects (but that's why Wikipedia is here). Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 15:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Has the article been nominated yet? I think I'm going to try for a DYK, as well. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 19:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know yet. A lot of the songs I created are still eligable, but I need an image. I'm sure I can dig up something on Stefan Chaput, as well as an image. Also, do you have a link for that nomination. I've been looking over some of the DYK pages, but can't seem to find it. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 19:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
It's a good article, indeed. Ready, I believe it is. How much work do you think is needed on Stefan Chaput? Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 20:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I am going to work on that. I thought I saw an image of him somewhere. Terrible as it was, it was an image. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 20:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Nevermind. I'd might as well create another article. Some aspects of information on Chaput aren't that clear. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 20:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar

Wow, thanks for that. I am aiming to get the AWB so that I can properly revert the vandalism and so on. But at the moment it is rather tedious trying to revert the vandalism and can understand why it takes people so long to move up the ranks in wikipedia. Once again thanks for the Barnstar Christopher140691 (talk) 16:43, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you help me get AWB please? I really want to use it but don't have enough edits. But i am really good at fighting Vandalism thats why I want it. Christopher140691 (talk) 16:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't have 500 mainspace edits I only have about 100 rouhly. Yes I know that now because I have had a complaint. Do you think that there is a chance that I can get AWB? Christopher140691 (talk) 16:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm currently going through your contribs to ensure that you did warn at least 400 vandals since April 10th (as I did shoot you over those three barnstars a bit early). In the future, I'd be incredibly appreciative if you did something like this (he just copied and pasted the lines from his contribs), as it's easy to sort through and can be checked in an instant. I'll get back to you when I'm done scouring your contribs. --SharkfaceT/C 20:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Questions

Only that of what does the AWB actually do? I have been thinking about getting it and have read the documentation but don't really understand it much. Can you shed some light on it for me. Christopher 140691 18:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes i know i realised that as soon as I had written it. I tried to changed it to make it a fancy colour but couldnt and forgot to change it back. Well if I find out anymore I will tell you about the AWB. Apart from that I cant really think of anything to ask. Anything you want to talk about? Christopher140691 (talk) 19:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes I do edit articles alot I usually revert vandalism or im recategorising articles that are in the wrong place. Christopher140691 (talk) 19:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know how to create articles. Christopher140691 (talk) 19:10, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: DYK

Baseball uniform hasn't been put on DYK yet. As for your nomination, it will be added to DYK at an administrator's discretion when it expires, which shouldn't be for a couple days yet. Hersfold (t/a/c) 20:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I have replied at the main DYK discussion. Like I said there, it's been approved and you're good. You just need to wait for the 5 days to expire. Time to sit on some ice and chill out. :) I know that I've seen you somewhere before; I thought it had been at DYK. I guess it was somewhere else. Royalbroil 03:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Baseball uniform

I'd say it looks pretty decent so far, but I think a modern-day uniform of a famous player such as Barry Bonds would greatly improve the quality. I'm greatly suprised that this article wasn't created before. Another article that I'm gratly suprised wasn't created before myself is Tourism in Kenya, which is currently at DYK? Then again, there is a huge bias amoung editors to not cover such important issues in developing countries such as Africa. I will have to someday fill in all the "Tourism in... places", and right now Tourism in the United States (who would've thought) is so much of a mess that I had to stubbify it. If you want to see some of my DYK?s, they are at User:Editorofthewiki/Awards. I guess it really isn't fair to have called you a newbie, since I have been registered only a month before you, but I have been editing since 2006.

Also, could you help me with User:Otolemur crassicaudatus over a relatively minor style issue on Zimbabwe Open University and escalated into him calling me a troll at the AN/I discussion. I have opened a mediation cabal discussion at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-05-04 Zimbabwe Open University, though it does not yet have a mediator.

Re: AFD

The AFD Barnstar
For taking the challenge and making over 50 contributions to AFD, I Milk's Favorite Cookie ( talk / contribs ) hereby award you this Barnstar. Congrats! Milk's Favorite Cookie ( talk / contribs ) 23:12, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I'd question these barnstars. While they do encourage editing, it's not about the amount of contributions, but the quality of them. Having 50 "per nom" votes, is still 50. I'm not saying thats what you did here RyRy, but my attention is drawn to these "challenges". Personally, I'm slightly tempted to MFD it, but I'll leave it for now. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 23:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually there was a a discussion about this (the challenge). I looked over some of RyRy's contribs, and most aren't per nom. Milk's Favorite Cookie ( talk / contribs ) 23:25, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

No, but I bet many on that page are per nom. And things like "Adopt five users" or "Welcome 1000 users", is just bad. Like I said, its about quality of contribtions, it's not about how many edits you have, how many people you have welcomed, or the amount of people you have had blocked. That's why I'm tempted to MFD it, I feel it has the wrong idea, emphasises that it's important to have a billion edits, and I feel, gives the wrong idea. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 23:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I have to agree with the welcome 100 users and the adopt 5 users. Especially the adopt 200 users. I took the welcome 100 users but for some reason earned 2 barnstars for it. But it actually was up for MfD a while back.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 23:34, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
It already has been "MFDed" Milk's Favorite Cookie ( talk / contribs ) 23:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
(ec) While I agree that IMO this page epitomises the worst of the Wikipedia=Facebook culture, it was MFD'd quite recently and kept (albeit with only 3 !votes). — iridescent 23:38, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

If it was altered to remove the things like, welcome 1000 users, get 10000 edits, and similar edit count things, I'd be appeased. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 23:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Steve, I suggest you view the Award Center talk page. Trust me when I say this: it was much, much worse just a few weeks ago. AWC has cleaned up much since then, dropping such ridiculous challenges as "Adopt 200 Users" and "The Deletionist Challenge". As for the Welcoming Challenge, I argue that welcoming new users is an important task, as nowadays a new user can just jump into editing feet first and end up brushing up against the wiki-bureaucracy (and trust me, I wish it were like the old days when IP accounts were mildly respected). The Award Center is continually making progress and shall continue to do so. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions/comments. --SharkfaceT/C 00:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Basketball110

While I fully respect your intentions in commenting on his talk page, I'd be remiss not to highlight that you're not helping on this occasion. It wasn't long ago that you were in your own form of trouble around various areas of the encyclopaedia, a quick look across your talk page suggests you're not out of the woods yet, and as the old saying goes, "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". While Basketball in my view at present shouldn't be an admin, most of what he's doing is correct and I think that should be encouraged. Orderinchaos 23:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Editor Review

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, but I've been offline for several days after my silly DSL modem got fried from a close lightning strike.

I think the best advice I could give you is to have patience. Slow down, learn what you're doing before you do it and stop being so focused on getting somewhere (like to adminship or a high edit count). If you don't do things correctly, its not going to matter that you did a lot of them. I think what's most frustrating for other editors is because of your focus on speed, if you get something wrong, you do it wrong a lot of times before someone can get over and explain to you that you're making a mistake. Keep up the good work with your adopter, don't be afraid to ask questions and give yourself a chance to learn your surroundings. Congrats on the DYK too! Shell babelfish 04:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I have redirected your article about the north campus of the college to the main article on the college.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dell970

Please take a look at WT:RFA#Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dell970, and my comment under the "Discussion" section of the RFA itself (which I added after it closed). I think allegations of racist slurs have a very credible explanation. Since the RFA is kept forever, I wonder if you would consider going back to the closed RFA, and strike any portion of your comments relating to the racist slurs? Otherwise, this is likely to haunt an otherwise good faith contributor in the future. Thanks. --barneca (talk) 04:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Checking in

Hi RyRy, I hope you're having a good day. I'm checking in with you, I gave you rollback rights about 2 days ago after a lengthy discussion where some admins didn't want you to have them back yet.

I have nothing more to add, as of late. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 01:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I bypassed, but it doesn't seem to be taking effect. Can you help? Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours at 01:56, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Only the popups aren't working, I think. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 02:00, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours has given you a WikiCake! WikiCakes promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cake, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!

Spread the tastiness of cakes by adding {{subst:GiveCake}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Ahh! Much better! Thank you! Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 02:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
JJ137's script for unreferenced article, automatically adding the template. I just removed automatic nomination for speedy deletion because my computer didn't get along well with it. I've got to go now. Cheers, Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 02:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I just tried popups. It's fast! Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 22:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Warnings

Either {{subst:uw-joke1}} or {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}, depending which you prefer, I'd say. The full list of user warnings is here and is well worth bookmarking. — iridescent 00:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:Review

Nope, I reviewed you during your first review and that should be enough. I don't understand why you created a new one so soon; of course you have been on the upside in many ways, but 1 review should last a few months IMO. Perhaps I will review you in a month, after a bit of time since the last review, but not right now, since there's not much to say which I and other users haven't said before.

E-mail.

E-mail me if you get the chance/want to/can? · AndonicO Engage. 01:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright (though if/when you have an RFA, you'll need e-mail). I thought it would be better to send you your review through e-mail, and hear (or read) your thoughts, comments, questions, etc. through google talk. I'll post on your ER eventually. · AndonicO Engage. 02:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
You haven't enabled e-mail from other users; you could either enable it, or e-mail me instead. · AndonicO Engage. 02:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Nuit

I really don't know. Since it charted on the French national chart, I guess it passes wp:music. You would then need to come up with an interesting hook for it and hope that no-one decides the article is unsuitable. No harm trying I guess. Gatoclass (talk) 03:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi RyRy5 ! Thank you for having nominated "Nuit (song)" that I've created. I just hope it does not contain too many mistakes of grammar or spelling ! (English is not my native language) :) Regards, Europe22 (talk) 11:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Rollback

Yeah, I do. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 01:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I know. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 01:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 Doing... (Watching). Also, are you associated with any non-sports related WikiProject? Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 01:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Going along with your review, I suggest you get involved in a WikiProject about some of your other interests. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 01:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I wanted to get 26328 Litomyšl a DYK, but both MFC and I can't find an image. What page did you notice me editing? Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 04:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I found one anyway. I was searching for it on Google. I should've looked under my nose. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 04:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean by "ready"? Is that your personal opinion or other editors'?Xp54321 (talk) 04:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

re:Burner

Yeah, Burner's doing OK. I talked to him today, and he didn't mention anything about getting back on. Maybe because he's preoccupied with following the Reds and finals exams. I'll try and get him back online as soon as possible. :) RC-0722 247.5/1 04:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Short is too general. I prefer concise. :) RC-0722 247.5/1 04:26, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Mentorship

Hi, thanks for offering to mentor me. As you can see from my talk page, I've been around a bit longer than you, although less active and with fewer contributions. My main reason for requesting mentorship is to find someone who can help me going from "changes that don't get reverted" to "Reliably able to make articles GA." I, too, wouldn't mind being an administrator someday, but it's not a pressing goal of mine. I do want to better understand the nuances of the bureaucracy and such. Think you can help me with these goals? If so, let's go for it. Jclemens (talk) 05:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Bahai in Niger

Sorry, I'm all reviewed out right now, but I can inform you that I could find no mention of Bahai and only one mention of Niger in the first link. Gatoclass (talk) 05:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

You have comments. :) dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 05:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Mentorship?

RyRy, what's up with this? Could you explain it for me? Thanks. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 05:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Bahá'í Faith in Niger

Updated DYK query On 10 May, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bahá'í Faith in Niger, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
