Thanks!

Many thanks for helping fend off the vandals while Gregorian chant was on the main page. I wasn't prepared for the level of vandalism. It's heartening to know how efficient and diligent you WP admins and editors are to revert it! Peirigill 07:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome! Just trying to help out a bit in this community. Zephyr2k 10:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Br. vs. Am. spelling

edit

Just a friendly reminder that when fixing spelling and grammar (which is greatly appreciated!) like you recently did on Swallow, it is customary to leave out differences between British and American variants except for consistancy. The choice of spelling is usually left to the major contributor(s). The page history reveals that many article contributors live in Britain. --Swift 19:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Was that only for the word characterised? Sorry about that. But the rest seem fine. I'll revert the spelling. Thanks for the info. Zephyr2k 19:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yes, only that one. The others were good. Cheers, --Swift 21:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries

edit

I just wanted to let you know that I thought your edit summaries [1] [2] were really good. Personally, I think that the term "vandalism" is overused to describe edits like these and it's nice to see edit summaries like that on the reverts. Cheers, JYolkowski // talk 22:50, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know. I have actually just learned how to assume good faith when doing reverts. I think I've been using vandalism too often in my prior comments. Thanks again! Zephyr2k 23:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

How DARE you revert my edit! We DID have Greek olympics in 6th grade, so shut your mouth if you don't know what the hell you're talking about, you fat freak with no life! P.S.:Change it back, you moron! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.37.85.231 (talkcontribs) 23:12, August 25, 2006

Ashfaqulla Khan

edit

Myself and other Indian users will assist you in this endeavor. Ashfaqulla Khan is a revered patriot.Bakaman Bakatalk 22:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! And I'll try to help out when I can. Though I'm really not a subject matter expert on it. Zephyr2k 22:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

The tone is not NPOV though. I got some people to work the article out. They actually already have Shahid Ashfaqulla Khan. That should be merged sometime.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

We'll work it out, if not us, then someone else. I'm going offline soon. Zephyr2k 23:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Signature

edit

Hey Zephyr2k, just wanted to ask you to consider changing the color of your username in your signature. The pink is a little hard for me to read and I suspect that may be true for other users as well, especially color-blind ones. Just something to consider, thanks for your time. -- DrunkenSmurf 18:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I know it is hard to read. I had to change it to pink because people kept thinking I'm a guy. I planned it only to be temporary until I run across a nice girlie color on the talk pages. Didn't know it was that easy to google for it. Silly me. Thanks for taking the time to tell me.  :) zephyr2k 19:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
LOL, I figured as much, the darker pink is much better IMO. Happy editing! DrunkenSmurf 19:07, 8 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hyperthermia Article

edit

I see that a long article on Hyperthermia for Cancer Therapy was deleted because you feel that it was not original. As I am the author of it, it is very original. Nothing copywrited was taken and used. This is an article that I wrote for my company on Hyperthermia. I would appreciate your putting it back as it was written. Rrwhite54

Please look at this one: User:Little birdy. Some bad vandalism. I don't know my way around en:wiki how to block this one. --JohJak2 15:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

No worries. It's a userpage and the only editor is the user himself. zephyr2k 15:11, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
No, I meant his contributions. But, come to think of, I could revert it myself too :) as long as he/she stops. JohJak2 15:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I got it. Thanks. Was confused for a while. Lol. zephyr2k 15:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi

No. Because you helped me out on Ashfaqulla Khan, I'll Assume Good Faith and brush your inquiry off as curiosity. I've been accused of being many users socks, none of which were/will be substantiated. Might I ask you to be more careful in suggesting sockpuppetry?Bakaman Bakatalk 22:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. As I stated above, I assumed good faith with you, knowing you to be a nice and helpful user.Bakaman Bakatalk 01:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks also. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Sorry, I was really quite confused at that time. I think I'll stay out of the picture the next time I see 2 users battling each other out in a series of warns and reverts. zephyr2k 01:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

{{welcome}}

edit

Hello, Zephyr2k. When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Thanks, Sango123 01:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Understood - I tend to be a bit trigger-happy, perhaps, when I see an article formatted the way that one is; it just looks like it's been copied here without much thought. Could definitely stand Wikification - I'll tag it as such. --AlbertHerring 01:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re:

ITs not good faith. ITs just another way the anti-Hindu cabal finds ways to malign me. Since they cant contribute, they have to find something to cling to, like when I was feeling my way across wiki.Bakaman Bakatalk 02:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't know anything about anti-Hindu cabals or much of the things you get yourself involved in, but I did have a feeling that it was a report made in bad faith and couldn't sit around watching. I'm doing what I think is right at the moment and I don't want to get involved in the edit warring. Hope you guys sort out your differences soon. Happy editing! zephyr2k 03:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
That's all right. Its nice to see users stand up for what they believe, after all if it wasn't for you there would not be an Ashfaqulla Khan article.Bakaman Bakatalk 03:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

RfA thanks

edit
  Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 66/11/5. I learned quite a bit during the process, and I expect to be learning a lot more in the days ahead. I will be taking things slowly (and doing a lot of re-reading), but I hope you will let me know if there is anything I can do to improve in my new capacity. -- Merope Talk 13:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

My RfA

  Hello Zephyr ! Thank you for supporting me during my recently concluded RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 77/2/0. I hope I live up to the confidence you have shown. I'm still exploring the new tools, so feel free to tell me of any mistakes I might make in the process. I share your emotion about the India-related NPOV disputes, and hope to help out. In case you need help with anything, just leave me a message. Thanks again!--thunderboltz(Deepu) 06:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I appreciate that you took the time to comment, and I did pay close attention to your thoughts, as I find it a valuable thing to understand how I am perceived by others in the Wikipedia community. Though the RfA was unsuccessful, I intend to continue contributing in a positive manner to Wikipedia, and if there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. --Elonka 10:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

If I'm a bit pale in the face now,
it's because of the amazing support
during my recent request for adminship
and because of all those new shiny buttons.

And if in the future
my use of them should not always be perfect
please don't hesitate to shout at me
any time, sunset, noon or sunrise.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers

edit

Hi Zephyr2k~enwiki,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:30, 13 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
