How can we get this bona fide company on wiki?

Wait till the company meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for companies. Until then, can't be done. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 02:18, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

It does meet those guidelines. Please could you pay more notice? Thanks Allowfellow (talk) 02:20, 30 September 2009 (UTC) allowfellow

I believe that you would benefit most greatly by reading WP:WEB; specifically the Criteria subsection. – Katerenka (talk • contribs) 02:37, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I have and believe you are treating the matter with prejudice and judgement. Please shed more light. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allowfellow (talk • contribs) 02:40, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I do not see how you can possibly construe my comment as "prejudice" or judgmental. If you had read the policy page I linked you to, you would see that your article and its subject fail all three of the guidelines for inclusion for websites. Sorry. – Katerenka (talk • contribs) 02:43, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I beg to differ. Have you actually studied the article? It does meet some of the guidelines. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allowfellow (talk • contribs) 03:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I read your article. You have two editors and an admin (who repeatedly deleted your article and then applied create protection) that are telling you that your article does not meet the guidelines for inclusion. It's nothing personal, so please do not take it as such. OliverTwisted left you a welcome message similar to the one at the top of this talk page with many helpful links in it that it may benefit you to read closely. – Katerenka (talk • contribs) 03:09, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I am not taking it personally at all. I am taking the matter professionally. I understand you have read the article but have you actually done any research on the subject the article was dedicated to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allowfellow (talk • contribs) 03:11, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Enough to see that it didn't meet the guidelines for inclusion. If you truly believe this deletion is in error, you are more than welcome to file a report at deletion review. – Katerenka (talk • contribs) 03:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Did you know...

Hello! I noticed that you've been reviewing a lot of nominations at the DYK suggestions page. Thank you for your help, and I hope you will continue to contribute! As you know, you don't need to be an administrator to review hooks or to move hooks to Preparation area, so your help is more than welcome.

You may already be familiar with the DYK rules by now, but in case you aren't, you can check out the official rules and the Additional Rules. You may also want to look into some useful tools that can allow you to review nominations more quickly: the Cut & Paste character counter is a helpful JavaScript to calculate the length of hooks, and DYKcheck is a script you can install on your own Wikipedia account for more heavy-duty verifying.

The best way to learn is by doing, but here is also a quick reference of the things to check for each hook you review:

Quick Reference Is the hook under 200 characters? Was the article written or expanded within the past 5 days? Is it over 1500 characters long? If it's an expanded article, is the expansion at least 5x? Does the article have an inline citation for the fact? If there's an image, is it free to use? Is the hook interesting? Are there any other miscellaneous problems with the article? Useful Links DYK suggestions DYK discussion Preparation area DYK templates

Thanks again for your help! I look forward to continuing to work with you at DYK, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me or anyone else at DYK. Now get to reviewing some noms! Dylan620 (contribs, logs, review) 11:44, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Short Question on Dyk

Hi Katerenka. Now that I've added the article to the nomination list, what happens now? When will I know if the article has been accepted or not? Is there anything else I need to do or do I simply wait? Thanks for your reply. Amsaim (talk) 23:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Amsaim. :) The article that you nominated has been reviewed and approved, so it's just a matter of waiting until it makes its way to the main page. We've been rather slow on updates lately, so it might be a day or two. Hope this answers your question. Warmly, –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 23:25, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

yes, it does answer my question. thnx very much. Amsaim (talk) 23:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Incidentally, Giants27 has made an additional comment on your entry. I was unaware that he had other issues with the article. I've removed a POV-y term from the hook, but would suggest you follow his advice on the references. Warmly, –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 23:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

thanks again very much for your assistance. what exactly is the difference between citweb and the normal ref-command line? What effect does the "retrieved" line have behind each reference? Amsaim (talk) 23:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) It just shows when a website was accessed. I prefer {{citeweb}} over the regular ref-command line as it is much easier to use (particularly if you install WP:REFTOOLS) and it makes formatting easier. Warmly, –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 00:02, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

super. learned another new wikipedia thing today. this refTool-gadget is really handy. thanks for showing me. Amsaim (talk) 00:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. :) Feel free to drop me a note if you have any more questions. Warmly, –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 00:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Selina Davenport

On October 7, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Selina Davenport, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Agree with Dylan, although I'd be glad if you could satisfy my curiosity and tell me whether you have previously edited much under a different name or IP. Regards SoWhy 10:54, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I've previously edited under a different name. However, per WP:CLEANSTART "If you decide to make a fresh start, and do not wish to be connected to a previous account, you can simply discontinue using the old account(s), and create a new one that becomes the only account you use. This is permitted only if there are no bans or blocks in place against your old account, and so long as no active deception is involved, particularly on pages that the old account used to edit. That is, you should not turn up on a page User:A used to edit to continue the same editing pattern, this time as User:B, while denying any connection to User:A, particularly if the edits are contentious." The Arbitration Committee is aware of my old account and will be able to verify that this account and the old account have neither edited at the same time nor voted in the same AfDs, MfDs, RfAs, etc and that my old account has a clean block log and is not, nor has ever been under any Arbitration Committee restrictions. Hope that this answers your question. If not, let me know. :) Warmly, –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 17:29, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I have assumed as much. I will not inquire further since it is really none of my business why you chose to do so. I hope whatever made you give up your old account has been resolved by doing so. Regards SoWhy 17:39, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Katerenka, don't think you haven't been under my microscope as well :) But you seem like an exceptional editor, so I have no concerns. Regards, decltype (talk) 17:57, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, SoWhy. :) Happily, the situation(s) that led me to abandon my old account have been resolved by doing so. I also appreciate your kind words, Decltype. It's nice to know that one's work is noticed and appreciated. :) Warmly, –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 21:55, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

DYK, newest articles....

Hi Katerenka. Would you happen to know how I can check if a nominated and approved article for DYK like this one has been or is about to be featured in the Did you know... section of wikipedia's main page? Amsaim (talk) 01:48, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

We've been severely backlogged lately, so it may be a few days. Your hook is still at T:TDYK. From there, someone will move it to one of the two prep areas where it will then be moved by an administrator to one of the six queues. Once it has made it to the queues, it will be moved to the Main Page by DYKadminBot (talk · contribs) once its queue number comes up. Hope that answers your question. :) Warmly, –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 01:53, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

thanks very much again for the informative reply. Amsaim (talk) 01:58, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Katerenka! I want to report this IP address because he has already been given sufficient warnings to stop vandalising and now he did this edit to my talk page which you reverted.

Muhammad of Ghor

Hi. This edit of yours, though certainly in good faith, is contra-productive, because it reinserts falsification and POV into the article. It is a revert to the POV version of 119.73.6.155 (talk · contribs), the IP of banned User:NisarKand. Though it may seem sourced to someone who is not into oriental studies, it is factually wrong. There are better, authoritative sources, for example the Encyclopaedia Iranica or Encyclopaedia of Islam, which fully disprove the IP POV edits. A scholarly article on the Ghurids is available online, written by British historian Clifford Edmund Bosworth. I frankly ask you to revert the article to the last stable version, before it was falsified by anon IPs. Thank you. Tajik (talk) 11:43, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I apologise. Feel free, of course, to revert my edit. –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 19:32, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not a sock of NoR, why he commented about the e-mail thing, is unknowen to everone but him.--Orangesodakid 18:40, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I would like to believe you, but assuming good faith only goes so far. –Katerenka (talk) 18:41, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

If I was a sock, then why would I report NoR for socking himself--Orangesodakid 18:42, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps a lack of understanding of the checkuser tool? I really don't know. I can't comment intelligently on people's motives for their actions. –Katerenka (talk) 18:44, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

well, I'm not him, I have people to vouch for me.--Orangesodakid 18:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Please forgive me for not believing you. –Katerenka (talk) 18:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Ahh come on Kat! do you think im a sock? I have been accused of being a sock 4 times! in 3 months! Why does everyone on wikipedia hate me?--Coldplay Expert 18:52, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

No one hates you, Coldplay Expert. –Katerenka (talk) 18:53, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Its ok, but I just want the drama to be over, If I can stop this, I would. but I don't think I can anymore.--Orangesodakid 18:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

It appears Tanthalas39 has put an end to it. –Katerenka (talk) 18:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Are you mad at me? please dont be!--Coldplay Expert 19:08, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't have any reason to be mad at you. –Katerenka (talk) 19:11, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict)Nobody's mad at you! You've done nothing wrong! Anyway, I would like to apologise to Katerenka for my conclusion-jumping. Without researching the situation with sufficient thoroughness, I assumed it was a bad-faith accusation. I thought Katarena was, you know, more or less implying NoR was a sock without proper basis, ans using it as an insult, if you know what I mean. Sorry, and have a nice day, Lord Spongefrog (review) (I am Czar of all Russias!) 19:14, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks I hope this is all behind us now. I hope someone just blocked NoR and OSK for only a month or so....--Coldplay Expert 19:16, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

It was a tad longer than that. Either way, it's best to not beat a dead horse and to go work on improving the encyclopedia. –Katerenka (talk) 19:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey!

I'm stopping by really quickly to say hello and wish the best in your on-Wiki (and off-Wiki) struggles. I consider myself your friend, in least in the cyberspace sense, and am glad you haven't left the community - this is a community that will accept any excellent contributor like yourself, no matter what. :)

I am currently on indefinite leave as real life is demanding way, way too much of my time and I must curtail the addiction. I hope to be back soon, and to see you then!

Yours, The V-Man ^{(Said · Done)} 14:16, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Vicenarian :), I must say that it is great to hear from you and to know that you're still around. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a note and hope to see you more active soon. :) Yours, –Katerenka (talk) 18:05, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm so sorry for putting you in a difficult situation. Please forgive me. All the best, decltype (talk) 16:47, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

It's fine, I suppose I should have expected this to happen. In the words of the main protaganist in a musical that I enjoy very much, "there's nothing that I blame you for; you've done your duty, nothing more." Hope to see you around. Yours, –Katerenka (talk) 18:07, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Ha, I didn't even think of the implications that you may take from that comment, and meant nothing by it. Just a quote that I like. :) I, too, hope you don't end up sharing his fate. Yours, –Katerenka ^☆ 18:10, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

YAY! Your back!!!! I was getting mad at you (not really) because of you not beliving OSK (I swear he is innocent) but I cant belive your back! Your amazing Kat! CAn you replace the Javert sig with Katerenka on my sig page? WOW I cant belive its you! (Oh and Im waiting for my review) Just one question though, why did you go to me (As in talk/interact) before anyone else like Spongefrog. After all you are closer friends with him than me.--Coldplay Expert 22:26, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I actually never left. I was trying to disassociate myself from the "Javert" account, and if you'll read the page I linked you to, you'll see why. Best, –Katerenka (talk) 22:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I read the page. (I hope your ok) and It just seems like you left. But yeah in reality you never did. Thanks!--Coldplay Expert 22:31, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm actually pretty emotionally drained, as you can imagine, but I honestly appreciate your concern. :) Hopefully this doesn't cause another batch of drama and we can all move on. As I said on my old userpage, if you feel deceived, I'm truly sorry, but I did what I thought was best at the time. Best, –Katerenka (talk) 22:33, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Orangesodakid actually came up on the CU results at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nemesis of Reason, so I'm not sure if you'll have any luck there. "Indefinite" doesn't mean "forever", tho. Just tell him to wait a nice amount of time (3 months or so) before requesting another unblock. Best, –Katerenka (talk) 22:59, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I came up on there too because we all edit form the same place for 6-7 hours a day, School. So I understand why people think we are all socks but none of us (exempt gurrenlaggan and poornutz) are.--Coldplay Expert 23:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

don't feel bad CE, NoR saw me editing wikipedia and made his own account. so his joining could be linked to me.

RfA/previous accounts

Hi there Katerenka :). Just letting you know that (if you haven't already done so and I'm blind) you may want to provide evidence that you were Javert (committed identity for example?) Also, I've sent you an email :). Best, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 14:32, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kingpin. :) I had scrambled the password to "Javert", but forgot to disable email first. So, if you think it is appropriate I can make an edit to the RfA using that account. And I'll be sure and reply to your email as quickly as I can. :) Yours, –Katerenka ^☆ 14:37, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, I sure trust you, but only cos I trust Javert :P. So yeh, probably good idea to make an edit, not necessarily at the RfA, mebbes at User:Javert. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 14:41, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

user:Javert is fully protected. Other suggestions? –Katerenka ^☆ 14:50, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

At any rate, I have to be off for a bit, so I will take care of it when I come back. :) Yours, –Katerenka ^☆ 14:57, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Just edit the talk page, any page with a dummy edit, and an edit summary to confirm tis you should be fine :). - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 15:00, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Kingpin is correct. Call me paranoid but I also think that such a proof is essential if you want to claim Javert's edits as your own. Regards SoWhy 16:58, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

If ArbComm says she's good regarding both accounts and to not make any more edits from Javert then your request is a bit of a quandary. To edit from Javert to prove ownership of the account to you makes some sense as there is no confirmed identity but she also greatly runs the risk of getting in trouble from ArbComm by doing so. That would look worse on and likely be the death of her RfA and any potential subsequent ones. Katerenka really doesn't need another sockpuppetry investigation. There has to be a better way. At this time i am not sure what that is other than to trust ArbComm. delirious & lost ☯ ^TALK 20:22, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I doubt ArbCom meant it this way, since such an edit would not mean any contribution to the project. I guess they offered to confirm it before Katerenka told the rest of the community anyway, as a means to allow her to protect her privacy and that now that she revealed it, they would not mind a single confirming edit to be made. And of course they can easily be asked whether they would mind it or not. But I greatly doubt they would. Regards SoWhy 20:34, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, Arbcom isn't run by robots. I imagine that her making an edit as Javert might not convince some of the opposers, though, since they could just say it was a meatpuppet, and most of the opposes aren't based on just that rationale anyway. -- Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 20:54, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I wonder how this RfA would have turned out if you had stayed with the Javert account all along and never changed. -- Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 21:48, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps better, perhaps worse, but I suppose we'll never know. ;) I understand those who are saying that it makes me look less than stable, and perhaps I should have waited a few months before requesting. It may have made a difference, but I don't really think so. :) @SoWhy and Kingpin: here is a diff, as you requested. :) Yours, –Katerenka ^☆ 21:59, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

RfA

I've added my co-nom, despite the large opposition in comparison to support. Simply put, you rock – see details in the co-nom. Cheers, Dylan620 (contribs, logs, review) 20:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Aww, that means a lot, Dylan. :) I appreciate that you would attach your name, even though at this point it looks headed for no consensus. Either way, I have received some constructive criticism that I'm going to definitely put to use once this is over and hopefully by improving myself as an editor, it will improve Wikipedia as a whole. :) Yours, –Katerenka ^☆ 20:54, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Kat, if my really long comment actually hurts your chances, I dont deserve to run for adminship my self in the future :( sorry I was only trying to help but that seemed to have the opposite effect :(--Coldplay Expert 22:24, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

They would mostly have opposed anyway (24 of the 29 opposes were in place before you wrote that paragraph). It's true, though, that you may have come across as being a bit too eager. -- Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 22:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm really dumbfounded by the fact that enthusiastic support is somehow frowned upon if it comes in the form of a post-transclusion co-nomination. Now that I know, I will refrain from doing so in the future. I just hope RfA participants will see it as intended - a strongest possible !vote of confidence.

This was closed as unsuccessful. Please work on the concerns and try again. — Rlevse • Talk • 19:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Best of luck, Katerenka. My take on the comments in your RfA is that people were generally supportive but felt your experience wasn't varied enough to suit them, and voters generally want to see a longer span of time with one username. I think no one knows currently what's the minimum time to wait after a failed RfA; 5 or 6 months is my best guess. Please feel free to ask me for help any time. - Dank (push to talk) 21:47, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry to see that your RfA did not pass. Please don't take most of the opposes to heart; I saw them as being unnecessarily scathing, although some had some valid points you could grow from. Maybe next time, Airplaneman ^talk 00:31, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

IP user page question

Hello Katerenka! There is an unusual situation going on at User talk:75.141.100.115, and I'm hoping you might be able to shed some light on it. This is an IP who you helped to create a user page for on October 9. He says that he contacted both you and Gogo Dodo for assistance. Without revealing any personal information, could you tell me how you became aware that this IP wanted a user page? (There's a very puzzled thread about this at WP:ANI, and the IP is currently blocked for some misbehavior). You've not done anything wrong at all, I'm just hoping you might have a clue about what's happening. Thanks! EdJohnston (talk) 14:31, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

to Katerenka

Hi, Its orangesodakid, I just thought that I should tell you that I'm going on a wikibreak. I should be back some time before thanksgiving, or sooner, I'm kind of fickle when it comes to things like this. Sorry for any inconvenience. so, good buy for now.Regards.--Orangesodakid 03:46, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Signature

Dear Kat, I was wondering, would you allow me to use this: Coldplay Expért  |  ^Talk as my sig. (You obviously know whos sig this is based off of). I dont want to offend you or look like a copy cat, I just think think that it looks cool.--Coldplay Expert 19:59, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

(to lazy to make a new section) I'm back. that was a nice wiki brake, (even though it wasent that long) regards--Orangesodakid 19:56, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Here is a modified version of Coldplay Expert's planned sig that I might use: Décémbér21st2012Fréak  |  ^Talk.

I'm just noticing that she hasnt edited since October 25. It may be best to hold off on the sig thing. -- Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 03:01, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not up to me. You do, however, have to follow the directions if you don't want your RfA to keep getting removed as malformed. Additionally, I would strongly advise you not to run at this time. Five days and 200 edits does not an administrator make. Don't be discouraged, just find your niche, help to build and maintain the encyclopedia and, later on perhaps, request administrator access. @Kate (talk) 09:12, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Question

How can I be on the search list, for example if any one is looking for my profile the should type in my name and click on search and it should pop-up. Please advise . Thanks. ------Salen Singh

I'm not sure what you mean by "search list", but if someone were to type "user:Salen Singh" into the search box, it would take them to your user page. @Kate (talk) 05:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Header added

hey Kate i'm new to this and thank you for adding the tag I was trying to delete the article some how the title was indeed an error - Researchinghistorie

Ah, okay, that actually helps. Thanks. :) @Kate (talk) 08:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: Template:J.Reu

Re your message: I deleted the "template". As you said, it was in the wrong namespace, but if it were in the correct namespace, it would have been deleted under CSD A7. You could say it got deleted through the process of you "fixing it" by moving it into the correct namespace and then tagging it under CSD A7. I deleted the other copies by the same editor, too. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:09, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: No problem. =) It happens from time to time with new editors where they put stuff into the wrong namespace. Namespaces are very confusing for new editors. Usually they end up in Template, but you also sometimes see it in Wikipedia or Category. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:18, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Im like, way younger than you. I would rather not tell anyone my real age untill I have to. (aka RFA) as it may give people the wrong impression and striotype me. Anyway the reall reason I came over here was to say thanks (again) for fixing the grammar on the ww2 article!--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 04:15, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree, and even within the context of an RfA, it's best to not disclose your real age unless you are at least eighteen. See this for an example. And in regards to World War II, you're very welcome. If you can think of anything else you need help with don't hesitate to let me know. :) @Kate (talk) 04:43, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Wait a second, how old is juliancolton. I too thought that he was in his 30-40's. And I cant see why age has anything to do with the ability to preform the tasks that admins and crats need to do.--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 04:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Speculating about the age of editors when it is a known fact that they are below the age of majority is a very bad idea. In answer to your other question, some users disapprove of the Wikimedia Foundation granting extra user rights to those editors who fall below said age of majority. Hope this helps. @Kate (talk) 04:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh sorry about that. I still cant seem to understnad why people will make jugements based off of the fact that a user is not 30 or 40. Ist like racism. And more importantle, its not fair for other users to oppose in an RFA or RFB with the reason "your too young". That seem like the opposes that you got in your RFA "per majority" or "per above" And then I had this really long comment that got me a barnstar and the only responce I got was "agreed but this is in the wrong spot" I guess you dont remember that as you had a wikibreak (oct 25). Anyway its 12:00 here in America so I have to go to bed. Im really tired.--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 05:01, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry. Below user Wrongly accuse me as vandal, and keep stalking and harassment. --660gd4qo (talk) 05:35, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I apologize for you getting caught up in this. My reverts stemmed from links to the new archive page not placed and the removal of recent talking points; my edit summaries were clear. I have no problem with this on ANI since I've nothing to hide. I actually thank you for directing the user there so the admin canvassing can stop. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 05:33, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Clerking at WP:CHU/U

Hi there. Of course your work at WP:CHU/U is appreciated, I just came to remind you to be a bit more careful. You left a clerk note here for a username that was not registered. Oh and here you use US style dates in a MM.DD.YYYY way which is quite confusing to people who write them the correct way (DD.MM.YYYY) ... okay, I'm joking, but you ought to try to write dates in a way that everyone understands them easily (using month names for example). Other than that, keep up the good work Regards SoWhy 17:20, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Ugh, sorry about that. Usually I check to make sure that accounts are registered, and ClueBot even told me that it wasn't, so I'll be sure to be more careful in the future. Thanks for the friendly reminder. :) @Kate (talk) 17:22, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Flagged revisions infobox

Hi, would you mind posting the address of the flagged revisions userbox? You use a CSS on your userpage, and I haven't a clue how to find the userbox! If that's your own version (the dark blue background), the original, if there is one, would be fine too. Thanks! - BilCat (talk) 07:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi Bilcat, the code for the userbox that Kat is using is {{Userbox|border-c=#FFFFFF|border-s=1|id-c=#000033|id-s=10|id-fc=#FFFFFF|id-op=|info-c=#000033|info-s=8|info-fc=#FFFFFF|info-lh=1.2em|info-op=|id=[[File:FlaggedRevs-1-1.svg|20px]][[File:FlaggedRevs-2-1.svg|20px]][[File:FlaggedRevs-3-1.svg|20px]]|info=This user supports the implementation of flagged revisions.}}.

Beta testing

Hey Kat :). Hope everything is well with you. I'm currently writing an editing tool for deletion tagging, WikiAlerter. At the moment I'm looking for some users to do a bit of testing for me, as I haven't used all the functions myself. This would basically involve using the program from time to time, being prepared for it to mess up on you, and reporting any errors to me :). If you were willing to do so, this would be very helpful, but feel free to say no :). If you do decide to, please let me know. Best, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 20:42, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Lol . The program is made for Windows, using .NET, so I doubt it would work on a Mac. If that's a problem, then tis okay, I won't kill you ;P - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 20:51, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

White people

I pulled that picture of User:Steveshapiro's honky ass out of White people a couple of times myself. It's image vandalism, isn't it? I don't wanna get into a WP:3RR thing with him. Crafty (talk)

Really, it's in kind of a grey area. I'm applying a liberal interpretation of WP:NOTWEBHOST as my basis for reverting his addition. The first time he put it in might of been in good faith, but I doubt it. It looks to me just like someone trying to weasel their way into a Wikipedia article as the image itself doesn't really help the article at all. He's reverted twice, so one more time and you should probably give him a 3RR warning. I've left him a note on his talk page, so we'll see what happens. Best, @Kate (talk) 04:41, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Hmm. Well, apparently he disagrees with me, but doesn't wish to discuss it. One more revert puts him at four, so if he does that, you can report him to WP:AN/3RR. Best, @Kate (talk) 04:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Nope, he's started to talk. He's trotting out the "BUT THERE ARE PICTARS OF TEH BLACKS ON THEIR ARTICAL!" line of arguments. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS I suppose is the line here. Crafty (talk) 04:52, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Heh, well, if he's up for discussing his antics, that's always a good thing. @Kate (talk) 05:33, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, I can see where he's coming from. There should be a photo of a real white person on the page rather than simply drawings of them. However, his is not suitable. As I said on my talk page, "it seems a vanity picture, possibly just to show his friends "hey, look, I'm on Wikipedia!"" Find a few suitable pictures and add them into relevant areas. I think that should satisfy his wish for a picture on the page and ours for not having to argue with him further. Just my opinion, though I could understand any reasonable objections given that I'd never even heard of this page twenty-four hours ago. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 18:20, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

There is a whole category on Wikimedia Commons. @Kate (talk) 18:23, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

In that case, use some of those, though I'd suggest someone with more experience with the article deals with it. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 18:31, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Consensus is everything. I'm all for being bold, and what not, but unless there is consensus to add photographs and which ones, I'll live it to someone who has done more with the article than just revert vanity pics. @Kate (talk) 18:32, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

← Oh. I was under the impression that you were familiar with it. I'll link the talk page to here and my talk page in a while and ask for consensus. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 18:41, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Not really; I just stalk Crafty's contribs. :) I left a note on the Talk:White people in regards to selecting a picture from Commons to use in the article. Hopefully everything is cleared up and no one ends up blocked. @Kate (talk) 18:43, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Thanks! And is there are a way to stalk someone's contributions without obsessively refreshing their logs? It'd be useful anti-vandal knowledge. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 18:47, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Meh, not really. Crafty and I edit a lot of the same pages (or at least he edits pages that I have watch-listed). You could probably write a script for it, but I'm afraid I'm not good with such things. @Kate (talk) 18:50, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

That would probably fall under WP:NOTSTUPID. There have been several discussions on AN/I about it, but I'm not sure if there's a particular policy that explicitly forbids it. *shrug* Add it back, if you like, I'm not going to make a fuss out of it, though someone else probably will.

Quite welcome. Best of luck in your new position. :) @Kate (parlez) 22:23, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I probably shouldnt be editing this...

I need a wikibreak. Good thing ill be away for a few weeks in late December. (Or will there stil be computers?)--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 00:06, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about this. (smacks Coldplay) You don't need a Wikibreak. The only thing you've lost your temper about lately has been AzureFury and he's not worth a Wikibreak. Just, in future, politely request that people e-mail you instead. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 00:10, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

OK then your the expert. Im just scared that ill get blocked any minute because of what IMatthew said. I cant seem to stop and I dont know why. But what happens happens. If I do get blocked I wont protest it as I guess I deserve it.--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 00:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

You just need to reserve talk page comments for things related to editing the encyclopedia. Threads, such as this one, which have nothing to do with building the encyclopedia should be avoided. I like you, and would have no objections to chatting with you sometime, provided you either email me (Katerenka@hotmail.co.uk) or find me on IRC (nick is Katerenka). Other wise, chat threads should be avoided. And, if you're scared of getting blocked, you shouldn't do things that could possibly lead to a block. @Kate (parlez) 00:14, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Kate, you ec'd me from posting "Is Kate's talk really the place for this? I don't know what either of you are referring to, but does it actually involve User:Katerenka? If not, why is it here?". Heh. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 00:16, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Awesome!

Thanks! I was looking at other people's userpages and not getting anywhere. Is there a formatting page for wiki newbs? Keegscee (talk) 07:08, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Haha, you're quite welcome. I'm not sure if there's a central place for learning the formatting used here, but Help:Wiki markup was very helpful to me when I first started here. @Kate (parlez) 07:10, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Cool. I will definitely take a look at that tomorrow. It's about time I start learning something other than pressing the undo button. Keegscee (talk) 07:16, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Glad to help. Let me know if you have any questions. @Kate (parlez) 07:17, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Your RfA starting position ...

Dropped by at nearly 6:AM ... and not slept yet ... so: "REALLY TIRED" looked like home. lol

Anyway, dropped by to applaud your starting point on RfA's as "support." There's enough negative bias in the world. ... Happy holidays. Proofreader77 (talk) 13:29, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind note. I appreciate the time you took to drop by, as well as for your kind words. :) I totally agree with you. Happy Holidays, @Kate (parlez) 17:42, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

re: WikiAlerter

Hi Kat, good to see you've got it editing. You can change the default edit summary by going to the settings (screw driver image, top right). In the settings, go to the edit summaries tab, and select "CSD", there should be a text box for the edit summary used when tagging a page and for messaging the creator :). I may add an option to change the edit summary when you choose to leave a custom warning (which will be the default warning by default, so it would be easy to leave a custom summary alongside the default warning ). Best, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 18:48, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

RFA question

For what it's worth, you stole this from me. I have updated it though here, so you might want to use that? :) Steven Zhang ^{The clock is ticking....} 22:21, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Haha, thanks Steven. I knew that I had took it from someone, but couldn't for the life of me remember who it was. Thanks for the note. :) @Kate (parlez) 22:22, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

BTW, do you understand the purpose of the question? Steven Zhang ^{The clock is ticking....} 22:32, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't have asked it if I didn't. @Kate (parlez) 22:32, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, that question was kind of a failed lead in to what I was going to explain as my reasoning for initially coming up with the question. I didn't mean to call you stupid :) Steven Zhang ^{The clock is ticking....} 00:07, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

No, no, don't worry about it. If you would like to tell me, I would be interested in how you came up with the question. @Kate (parlez) 00:09, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Heh, thanks :). I thought up the question because over the period I have been on Wikipedia, I have observed admins that a) Don't trust their own judgement b) Follow the letter of policies all too often, leading to inflexible interpretations of policy. and c) Don't use their common sense too often. I wanted to be able to assess the candidate's mentality of how they would approach being an admin, and ask a question that would give either a) An answer I'm looking for or b) An answer I'm not. I'm looking for admins that, of course, will follow policy, but when possible, use their common sense and administrative judgment to come up with the best possible solution, as long as it is in align with the spirit of the respective applicable policy. In short, I want to be sure that the elected admin will use their judgment to better Wikipedia, as opposed to mindlessly implementing policies as they are written. Kind of make sense? Steven Zhang ^{The clock is ticking....} 00:23, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it does, and I agree totally. Thank you. @Kate (parlez) 00:25, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Regarding my contributions to USS Cocopa (ATF-101)

Hi. Since I was the one who added all the ref's to the article. Cant I claim that I didnt just nominate the article. As it would not have passed without my contributions to it?--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 23:25, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Unless you "created" the article or "substantially expanded it", then the only credit you can take for DYK is nom credit. If all you did was add references, I wouldn't think that would qualify as "substantial expansion". When I was active in the reviewing process, there were several articles that I contributed references to, but didn't take credit for any of them. Hope this helps. @Kate (parlez) 23:29, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh well. I guess that means ill have to make one myself then :)--Coldplay Expért ^{Let's talk} 23:32, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

In my opinion, it's more rewarding that way. :) Let me know if you have any more questions. @Kate (parlez) 23:34, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Username Heads-up

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the notice! I just submitted for a change of username (from "bot" to "robot"). Thanks again for keeping me out of trouble :) JusticeBot (talk) 00:34, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. :) Unfortunately, "Justicerobot" is still inappropriate. A username with the suffix "bot", be it "robot" or just "bot" is prohibited. Is there another name you would prefer? @Kate (parlez) 00:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I thought "robot" was allowed? It all depends on if it arises naturally. A "robot" should get through, just the same as Nanobot did. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 03:16, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

"Unless your account is an approved bot, your name should not end with "bot", which is used to identify bot accounts." (From WP:U). @Kate (parlez) 03:19, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah, but it's not ending just with bot. It's got a "ro-" in front. Hmm... as I said, a Nanobot recently got through UAA. I'd bring it up there and as for clarification. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 03:23, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't think anyone is going to mistake Justicerobot for an actual robot. I would be in favor of allowing that name. -- Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 04:08, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah, but of course!

Haha, yep. Thank you for your help, as always, PMDrive. :) I wish you a great weekend, yourself. Best, @Kate (parlez) 03:14, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

(clears throat at Coldplay) Well, at least I now know PMDrive1061's gender. For some reason, I thought them to be female. Not sure why but... --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 03:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

re: WikiAlerter

Hmm... Have you moved the Alerter.exe to a place where it's not sitting next to the DotNetWikiBot.dll? Or are you using a shortcut? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 06:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, the problem was that the program couldn't find the DotNetWikiBot library, because it wasn't positioned next to it. If you want a quick link to the program from the desktop, then I think a shortcut (right click on the desktop, and select new>shortcut) should do the trick :) - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 18:38, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Some good news for ya: His three main BellSouth address ranges have been blocked for a year and AT&T has agreed to investigate the matter as a terms-of-service violation! I honestly believe we may finally have heard the last of him. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Ruthie Henshall

I've read over the article per your request, and have a few comments. First, I made some minor wording changes; you might want to review them and make sure I'm correct in my corrections. :P Content-wise, the article is quite good. It covers all relevant information, but probably not in enough detail to warrant a B or a GA. See Ian McKellan for a similar bio, but in much greater detail. Basically it needs more content, and to be more in-depth if it will advance forward on a class scale. It could also use an image. Flickr might have what you want, but make sure the license works. ;) That's all I can see with a quick glance. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 22:07, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate your taking the time to look this article over for me. I appreciate your suggestions. :) @Kate (parlez) 22:34, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

WP:AIV

Thanks for helping revert his fake reporting of me, I told him nicely not to remove the whois tag but got what was coming to him. Momo san ^Gespräch 19:10, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

You're quite welcome, I know how annoying that can be. ;) @Kate (parlez) 19:11, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

RfA

It's also rather poor form to try and get an RfA and request rollback with under 20 edits and have a very suspicious supporter right away... I wouldn't have done it otherwise, but it was all very fishy to me. I do understand what you are saying, though.  fetchcomms☛ 20:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Two wrong do not make a right. Instead of being sarcastic with them, offering assistance is probably the route that should have been taken. @Kate (parlez) 20:06, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I replied on their talk page. I understand that the edit summary wasn't very good though. It's just that I take things like socking, etc. very seriously, and it annoys me when a new editor thinks they can do whatever they want here.  fetchcomms☛ 20:17, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

As opposed to "old" editors who think that they can (and do) do whatever they want? ;) In all seriousness, though, I understand your position and thank you for being open to suggestion. @Kate (parlez) 20:20, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

If I know what you're talking about.... Thank you for understanding, and I am always open for advice, being (kind of?) new here.  fetchcomms☛ 20:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
