November 2007

For some reason it's showing that you added the following to the Ciara article:

This was also the year that Ciara began her first celebrity relationship with rapper Bow Wow in 2005. The two split up the following year. No one exactly knows why, but rumor has it that Ciara has an uncontrollable bladder problem and when the rapper took him to the home of his mother's, she urinated on her carpet. Bow Wow denied this rumor saying that it wasn't true although the two had split up due to personal reasons.

Hopefully this was accidentally added by you. ≈Alessandro ♫^{T • C} 06:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that was accidental. I didn't see the part at the bottom, only the pare where Infamous was addig unreferenced info. Soxred93 has a boring sig 15:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Question waiting

Please see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/BOTarate. A BAG discussion about how to handle these type of issues has also been started at WT:BAG. — xaosflux ^Talk 17:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Basque pelota SVG icon

There seems to be a problem with Image:Olympic pictogram Basque pelota.svg, as it extends into the section heading line rule on this edit. It is also misaligned, with a different aspect ratio and size compared to all the standard png pictogram files. Andrwsc (talk) 17:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/SkylinBot

I agree that the user has no experience, but the research paper cited looks interesting. Perhaps we should propose to them that they hand the bot over to a more experienced operator? Unfortunately, as researchers, they're not likely to do so as they don't learn very much thereby and don't have direct control over the process. It's hard to tell new Wikipedians that they just don't know enough about running a bot for us to ascertain that it's harmless and useful. — madman bum and angel 05:04, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

1971 in New Zealand

Hi, would you care to explain which particular bits of 1971 in New Zealand you consider to be unwikified? I'm a bit puzzled, since like its 207 siblings the article is almost entirely links to other content. dramatic 08:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

That was an error on my part. Feel free to re move it. Soxred93 has a boring sig 17:53, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Syntax

Hello, just a note, that apparently Template:BRFA doesn't even have an output if you put the wrong parameter in it. Approved is what should have been there which has the output of NEEDS FLAG. As your penance :) I request you facilitate getting the instructions at Template:BRFA coordinated with actual practice. Template:BRFA works better actually than Template:BRFAA (allows for a space in the bot's name), so I'm not sure why there are two. - Taxman ^Talk 19:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I am aware of that mistake. I was in the middle of fixing it, when the bell rang for my next class and I couldn't fix it. Soxred93 has a boring sig 03:31, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Bot assistance

Thanks for your help in getting those viper categories changed over; doing it by hand would have taken a year. Much obliged. If there's a favour I can return, just let me know. Cheers, Accounting4Taste:talk 05:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Disambig page Big Slide Mountain

Shouldn't a disambig page be orphaned? I notice you keep placing an orphan tag on this page. Thanks, Gjs238 (talk) 12:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

It should be. The problem is that on pywikipedia, you use the disambig code, which includes {{disambig}}, {{dab}}, etc. If it finds a page with those templates, it skips. However, since that is a miscellaneous template not mentioned by pywikipedia, it added.

Template:Pp-template

Could you please point out where {{Pp-template}} is declared outdated? And I don't see the devs fixing mediazilla:10347 either ∴ AlexSm 22:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, sorry, I didn't notice that those templates are not protected, so "outdated" means "outdated on that page" ∴ AlexSm 22:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Snake redirects

Hi there: Some days ago you were kind enough to help out an editor who had come to me for help with some category changes -- all to do with snake taxonomy. He's asked me to intercede with you again with respect to the following changes:

If this is not something you feel like taking on, just let me know on my talk page and I'll look elsewhere. But thanks for your help with the last set no matter what. Cheers, Accounting4Taste:talk 23:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
