Hi Kathleen - we're planning a third meetup in Adelaide sometime in the coming weeks, and would love to have you there. If you can, please help decide a location, a date and a time here. Thanks! ~ Riana 12:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Stub categories

Hi there, and thanks for tackling the stub categories. If you need guidance on how to format them (or templates), take a look at the main stub page or ask on the talk page (where you were before). Welcome to it - Cheers! Her Pegship (tis herself) 00:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem - I'll take a look tomorrow (I'm in California). Usually the template is created first, then the category; more on that later. G'night! Her Pegship (tis herself) 05:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Context MBA and the Macintosh?

Hi Kathleen, I can't find any evidence that Context MBA was ever available for the Mac, just for the pre-Mac Apple III. Should this be reverted, or alternatively, do you have anything that can be added to the article that discusses this?--NapoliRoma (talk) 14:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

It has now been reverted. Kathleen.wright5 21:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!--NapoliRoma (talk) 01:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

A quick lesson on stubs

...if you don't mind... After a stub type is approved, the template is created. Here's the typical code to use:

<div class="boilerplate" id="stub">''This article related to [[<topic>]] is a [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub]]. You can help Wikipedia by {{plainlink|url={{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit}} expanding it}}''.</div>[[Category:<Topic> stubs<noinclude>| </noinclude>]]

Once the template has been created, click on its category. It should be a red link at the moment and you'll get a "create this category" page. There you can use this code:

{{WPSS-cat}}{{popstub}} {{Stub Category|article=[[<topic>]]s|newstub=<stub template code>|category=<parent category>}} [[Category:<parent category again>|μ]]

You just fill in the topic in the template, the same topic in the category page, the stub template code in the category page, and the parent category in the category page. (For example, the parent of "Book stubs" would be the category "Books".) I hope this isn't too confusing. You can take a look at the two categories you created earlier if you want to see more; I have cleaned up the code a bit. Cheers! Her Pegship (tis herself) 17:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Cite your sources

  Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Virgo (astrology). Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. These articles are enough of a mess without established editors adding unreferenced qualities. Pairadox (talk) 00:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope, and the same is applicable to all of the astrology articles (I just didn't want to give you twelve different warnings). Each instance needs to be sourced directly to a reliable, off-wiki source - Wikipedia can't use itself as a source. Pairadox (talk) 01:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
So are you going to provide sources or am I going to remove your additions? Pairadox (talk) 20:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, you can remove the additions, but Virgo I added to someone else's work. Taurus and Sagittarius I did myself and Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pices were done by other editors, which is why I thought it was OK to use the medical astrology link. Kathleen.wright5 21:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Understood. I really have no opinion on the info itself, I just want to make sure that it's tied to a third party source. Pairadox (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Question about Importance ratings

Hi Kathleen,

I'm TrickyApron, and I recently went through a bunch of WikiProject Christianity articles on films and removed their Importance=top ratings in accordance with the guidelines on Assessment. There, the criteria for assessing articles as Top Importance is that "The article is one of the core topics about Christianity. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are are included as sections of the main Christianity article." I see that you've changed many of them back to Top Importance - perhaps Mid Importance would be better? I'll wait a few days to hear from you before I revert the changes.

Peace, TrickyApron (talk) 04:54, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Responding to "How to create ICU page when template has been deleted?" on my talk page

Hi,

If further discussion is needed, let's please keep it here rather than ping-ponging between your talk page and mine.

You asked: "How do I create an ICU page as outlined in - To admit an article to ICU, when the template - Wikipedia:Intensive Care Unit/Article name, has been deleted? I want to formally admit 2 articles in Category:Articles placed in the Wikipedia Intensive Care Unit, Allen Joines and Senang Hati Foundation"

What I did was, working from the instructions in Wikipedia:Intensive_Care_Unit#To_Admit_an_Article_to_the_ICU, click on the redlink Wikipedia:Intensive Care Unit/Article name, and then change Article name to the actual name of the article which I wanted to admit (e.g., Allen Joines). Having done that, the rest of the admission process went smoothly, if a bit tediously. Does that help? If not, I'll try to help more.

If you can improve the admission process instructions, feel free to do so.

Cheers, -- Boracay Bill (talk) 13:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Microsoft Windows and software articles

Hi, please don't tag articles that are not about Microsoft Windows with {{WikiProject Microsoft Windows}}. This Wikiproject is solely for articles about the operating system itself. A similar policy applies to other Wikiprojects about other operating systems. Thanks. -/- Warren 22:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Fiador (tack)

Hello!

I would use a {{horse-stub}} tag and just make it a general horse stub. I don't see a more specific stub category for horse tack, and there seem to be some other horse tack articles (such as Aurigan) in there.

Hope this helps! — KathrynLybarger (talk) 18:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikimedia Australia incorporation meeting

Hi there Kathleen.wright5! As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation has recently approved Wikimedia Australia as an official chapter. In order to acknowledge this, and to appoint an interim committee, approve our statement of purpose and our rules, and appoint a Public Officer, Wikimedia Australia will be having a meeting at Computerbank in Melbourne. For those of us who are located in other cities, we shall be holding conference calls to the main meeting.

The meeting will be held at 2:30PM on Sunday, 20th April 2008, Adelaide time. In order for us to organise this meeting, we need your help! Please drop by at our meta subpage with suggestions as to venues, conference calling services, etc. It will be at 2:30 so we can meet up for lunch beforehand if anyone's open for that!

Hoping to see you there! ~ Riana 01:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because you are an active Wikimedian in Adelaide and are on this list. If you think I've missed anyone out, please feel free to copy-paste this and send it to them too!

Blanking of articles

Please stop blanking articles. Blanking of articles is (almost) never the proper way to handle bad content on the project. And already tagged copyvios do not fit the "almost". All of your blankings are now showing up on reports of blank pages, mixed in with vandalism blankings. I'm going to revert the blankings to their copyvio tagged state so that they can be properly handled, and not bloat up the reports. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Let me stress that I too have full assumptions that this all happened in a good faith effort to do right by the project. I used admin roll-back on some of them because of the sheer number that needed to be reverted. Admin rollback is normally supposed to be used for reverting vandalism. I want to stress that my use in this case was not in any way intended to show or imply that I thought that these edits were vandalism. As for what next, I'll let you deal with Moonriddengirl on that. She sounds to be much more an expert on handling copyvios than I am. For myself, I'm a short pages patroller, and it was on the short pages reports that I found all these blankings. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Awesome edits

Just wanted to comment on the addition of stubs to the radio stations. Hopefully that should spark some expanding of them. Keep watching my edits, I'll keep creating radio stations and more than likely some of them will be religious. Thanks a lot! Milonica (talk) 18:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for expansion of the categorisation of religious programmes

Dear Kathleen, thank you for expanding the category of "Religious programmes".It is good of you to do this, and to leave a note on my talk-page. I was also pleased to see that you had included an Australian programme, which will prevent the programme from having too biassed a coverage (being based in the United Kingdom, I know mainly about British programmes).You might be interested to know that at WP: Council, quite lively discussion is going on about whether we should have a project group for religious programmes. I was interested to see that you belong to something called "WikiChristianity". I did not know of this.I have heard of Conservapedia, but I take it that this will not be so heavily orientated to ultra-conservatism as Conservapedia (I have not read Conservapedia all that often myself. Thank you again for the message. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Redundancy

The aforementioned category is redundant, as it already covers the same topics already covered in Category:Religious television series and a new category, Category:Religious radio programs, as well as more-specific subcategories within. Please be more careful making categories in the future, and double check to see if similar categories exist. -- azumanga (talk) 03:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Edit to User:John Carter's user page

Hey, I noticed you recently removed a redlink to a deleted article from User:John Carter, it was in a list of articles he had created. It's not generally cool to go tampering with editors' user pages except to undo vandalism, at least not without mentioning it. Some editors will remove dead cats after a CSD but even that's controversial and I'd normally let users manage their own redlinks. --Doug.(talk contribs) 17:05, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Many thanks for reclassifying the contents of the category I created "Religious programmes". At the time of creating it, I did not know of the similar categories, and I agree that it is rather superfluous to multiply categories here. Although I tend toinclusionism rather than deletionism, I think the "Religious programmes" category could be deleted now. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:16, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Mom jeans

I rescued it. What I did was to type in Mom jeans and press go, which took me to Saturday Night Live but at the top was a little note saying I had been redirected from Mom jeans, which was linked. I was then able to access the page history and took the page back to a previous version. However, the redirect was a good faith edit. If there is not much more to say about this term then maybe it should be merged with SNL. The correct way to do this would be to tag it for merge and invite discussion. Best wishes.

Re: Updated:Redirects at User:Grutness/Stub discoveries to vet

Hi Kathleen - you wrote: I've updated your Redirects list on the above page. Every strikethru or removal has been explained.

To be honest, I wish you hadn't, though I realise your intentions were good. As it says at the top of the page, "If you take any of the other stubs to either WSS/D or SFD, score through it on the list using <s> and </s>"" - a lot of those you scored through haven't been near either the discovery page or SFD, so shouldn't have been scored through ({{cook-tool-stub}} is one that immediately springs to mind that hasn't been to either) - I still need to go through them and see whether any of them are possible sfd candidates (again, cook-tool-stub is one possibility). I'm going to un-score the lot for now and check through them when I get the chance to see which ones still need to be looked at. Grutness...wha? 06:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

NZ stubs

Hi Kathleen! What that means is that the template {{NewZealand-poli-stub}} is upmerged; since it doesn't yet have 60+ articles, it temporarily deposits the article in both Category:New Zealand stubs and Category:Politics stubs. Once it has enough articles, its separate category (presumably Category:New Zealand electorate stubs) will be created. HTH, Her Pegship (tis herself) 16:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Re Cat:India geography stubs

Hi Kathleen - you wrote: I've de-redlinked and cleaned up a section of the Agartala article on the above page. I know it's not a stub anymore, but it looks so much better now. Would it be OK to do the rest of the articles on the above page?

I'd forgotten I put that there - that was a long time ago! Yes, sure - feel free to remove any that look like they're now written in proper English. It's worth noting that the list is very old - there are a lot of newer articles that are just as bad as those original ones were. I'm not sure why, but it seems to be a problem that is worse with subcontinental articles than any others (possibly a large number of Indian editors with English as a second language?) Grutness...wha? 00:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

ASGAP

Well done on your hard work - but hey linking species to specific ASGAP work groups - isnt that a bit misleading? Maybe you are going to do something to follow up but - the links appear to be going to the species/genera (good stuff) - but that is nothing to do with the specific work group - your hard work I am, not doubting - but I fear the equivalent of an american geographically challenged teenager (who person our project with amazing things like the trivia project) might feel that being directed to the species genera rather than a work group might wonder if its a road travelled without adequate sign post? please reprimand my ignorance if I have it wrong - cheers SatuSuro 09:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

What would you say to a change in the words at the lead into the list? I realise how long it would have taken to done those links - I am not trying to denigrate that - I am just thinking of some of the enlightened users of this old goldfishbowl :( SatuSuro 09:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

NOonono - please dont de link - I think I originally added the list because my parents were members from year zero for the association and I have all the publications - nah we need to think of a nifty lead sentence to the list - hey I am so impressed by the fact that you did the hard work - its the way the sentence read that will clear the issue - as for my talk - I speak with too many admins too much (see my talk stats) - one of them protected it at some point and probably forgot to undo it - not that I want it undone considering the number of twinkle warnings and reversions of IP's I have been doing recently :| SatuSuro 09:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok - suggestion - Study Groups - the following species/genera of Australian plants relate to study groups that have existed within the history of the ASGAP - some may not be currently active - however the following list indicates the comprehensive nature of the study groups and the extent to which ASGAP members have dealt with the variety of flora within Australia.

Please feel free to edit/re-write - but imho that would support your hard work and the article would be an excellent example of a lead into the diversity of oz flora SatuSuro 09:42, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do whatever you like - I would suggest that if it hasnt been mentioned above - that the groups do sometimes become inactive and then reform and they are not all constant at any one time over the decdes - and thanks for doing it - cheers (im off for a few hours now) SatuSuro 09:54, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Good luck

Indonesian airport stubs and arts are like looking into the mouth of hades believe me - you must have a constitution of iron and a head for unravelling confusion - one of my fellow indonesian project eds spent most of his on wiki time reverting deliberate fraudulent rubbish from a complex sock nuisance fella - trust you have a very good idea of indonesian geography and are able to sustain good sense of calm in the face of some very poor english eds from indonesia out to frustrate your attempts at cleanup. I admire your courage . Also my apologies if I undid your work or appeared rude at talk at Gordon Splits - I could explain but not on wiki - cheers SatuSuro 15:23, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

In that case ignore the above message, or most of it - the actual content issue is irrelevent to you then - what a relief SatuSuro 01:33, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Indonesian airport stubs

Hi Kathleen - It looks OK to me; all I did was change the template wording a bit and add parent cats to the stub category. What problem were you having? Her Pegship (tis herself) 17:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the message - well done with the hard work - please accept my apologies in advance for the highly unlikely event of any of them ever getting to higher status - appreciate what I think might be your sense of humour - glad you didnt meet the monsters SatuSuro 13:24, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Sotai (Bible)

Regarding the article Sotai (Bible) that you recently created;

It currently does not contain sufficient information or details to warrant an article on wikipedia.

Could you please consider either improving the article, or merging the information into a main article.

Specifically, if it is to remain as a stand-alone article, it would require a suitable paragraph or two at the beginning, explaining the context etc, with links to other articles as appropriate; for example,

Sotai is a character in the Hebrew Bible.

It would also require external reference(s) to establish the facts - perhaps a link to an authorized edition of the text?

If there is little or no content that is likely to be added to the article, please consider removing it.

I hope this is constructive advice,

Any questions, please ask on my own homepage,

Regards,

External Linking to DVD Retail

Hello. Can you stop adding links to DVDs to be purchased online. Such links are not acceptable and are regarded as spam. Think about it: if we accept just one of those links then there is no good reason why several hundred retailers cannot make a similar claim to be eligible for a link on such an article and pretty soon almost any entertainment article could become a five hundred strong list of retail copies of DVDs, videos, albums etc. Thanks --bodnotbod (talk) 08:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Left Behind

Hello, I removed this from Into the Storm because the article is about an upcoming film unrelated to the Left Behind series. I Googled for a possible answer to your action, and I see that there is a book called "Into the Storm (Left Behind: The Kids #11)". What you can do is move the film article to Into the Storm (film) and create a book article at Into the Storm (book), then treat the original Into the Storm as a disambiguation page (like Body of Lies, for instance).

Page move vandal on Envirowiki

Kathleen, a page move vandal has been very active on Envirowiki recently. I fixed the front page but heaps of others are still afflicted. The easiest way to fix it is for a sysop to rollback from the move log. I have left messages for Naught101 but he has not yet responded. Perhaps you can help?

He also attacked Greenlivingpedia but I have sorted this out, including blocking page moves for non-sysops.
