Due to my recent RFA, which passed 58/1/1, I am now an administrator. This means that I edit as I used to, however I have some more tools which allow me to protect and semi-protect pages, delete pages, block users, and have access to some more pages. I can also undo all of these actions. If you would like to contact me about any of these actions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page, or if you're blocked, or it's a private matter, I can also be contacted on email. Please keep all messages nice.
Be civil- I will remove messages that are vandalism.
I will respond to all messages on your talk page, unless it's a "group" conversation here.
PLEASE SIGN YOUR COMMENTS by putting ~~~~ after your post. I don't really want to be searching through the page history to find who posted the message!
And a special thanks to Riana for some codes I found on her talk page, and also thanks to Erich and Editor at Large, who helped with the codes on her page. I have put these codes onto my own to make them look colourful! :)

Hello. I have found your user-page because you are an administrator who grants rollback privileges. I am performing academic research and I am particularly focused on usage of the rollback feature. I have imported en-wiki dumps into MySQL for analysis, and flag RBs by parsing revision comments for the "automatic comment" left by RB edits.
My question: In February 2009 and the months preceding it, about 200k RBs were being performed a month. Beyond that, usage of the RB feature seems to decline sharply; in September 2009 I show only 1k RBs. Can you help me understand this? Did the automatic revision string change? Did the use of anti-vandalism bots (with their slightly altered RB strings (which I don't try to parse)) become so prevalent that no one does it 'manually' any more?
My current research has found no reason for this 200x change, and I hope you can help. Of course, your help will aid my research -- which in turn will help the Wikipedia community in combating vandalism. West.andrew.g (talk) 16:40, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

At the end of your signinature? HTML. I do a little bit of that on Neopets.
You can check out my Neopets page. Just type in [1]
and scroll until you get to a search bar. Then search danielle_krefft.
If you're not already a member and want to join,
make sure you put that you were referred by danielle_krefft! :)
If you sign up you can have NeoFriends, NeoMail, and NeoBoards!
Anyway go ahead and check it out! That's all for now!
OH WAIT!!!
Why is my text in boxes like that? And how do I get it out?
P.S. Reply on my talk page. Thanks :)

Okay, but where do I start in terms of Article Talk and WP Talk?
Also, I already went for an editor review. I wonder if I can still find it?... Two One Six Five Five discuss my greatness 19:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sorry it's been so long! Things are pretty hectic this end, but hopefully I'll be online more reguarly now.
Where can you start? Well, just by adding your opinion every now and then, or perhaps commenting on what could be done on the article. Any productive talking is good!
Another sort of Wikipedia namespace editing you can do is helping out on the talk page. Even if you don't know the answer to a question, it's always good to research and you'll find your knowledge of wikipedia grows quite a bit. And I always find it good to include a link to the page I found the information on anyway.
Anyway, that was pretty brief, but I must be off for the night. Cheers- CattleGirl talk 10:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Boy, am I getting bored waiting for my approval on VPRF. Right now I'm using Huggle, which is actucally freakin' amazing, but I also want VPRF for means of comparison
PS: What is generally an acceptable level of experience in terms of edit counts and policies to RfA? Two One Six Five Five τ ʃ 23:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Hi :)
I miss Wikipedia! I've hardly had any time to work on it since the new academic year, and aargh.
Anyway ;)
I think I was waiting for a while for Vproof as well... it's worth the wait though. Occasional bugs, but it's worth it.
But I just looked up Huggle, it looks pretty good (both aesthetic-wise and function wise...)
Being an admin? I know it's cliched, but it really is just as normal. Like, there's the time just after you're promoted where you're sort of scrambling, but other than that it's the usual routine. And also, it's weird to look at my edit count- because the deletions don't show up on it, and they're what I like to focus on! But other than that, really, it's just as per usual with a few more tools for the job, and it's also easier to help people out.
I base my !vote in an RFA case-to-case. For instance, usually I'd like about 1000 mainspace edits, and a few months at least on the Wikipedia, but that can vary. Because like me, there are some that really can't be bothered to do the actual article editing! I'm sorry, that sounds bad... but what I mean is that I take much more pride in behind-the-scenes editing than working on the actual articles- although, that of course can be fun too! :P
Policy-wise, it's usually fairly obvious through your contributions whether you know enough policy to get you by. Even know I'm usually looking up a few policy pages every day, even if just to check what to do, or how to do things. But since you're looking at adminship, I think it's a really good idea for you to look at the Help Desk or 'adopting' a user yourself. Even though at first it can be a bit harder to answer questions and help people out, after just a little while you find you know heaps more, and it's worth it.
I think that's about it! Hopefully I'll get some time to go on Wikipedia tonight. Cheers- CattleGirl talk 09:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
ZOOOOM! My edit count's going through the roof with Huggle! I went from Burba (lv1) to Journeyman (lv3) in a month!
I'll see what I can do to advance more in the road to RfA. Thanks! Two One Six Five Five τ ʃ 17:34, 26 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
[outdented] Well, I think I have 1000 mainspace edits, I've got a PNG screenshot of the WP:FIVE saved to my disk, and I'm pretty sure I have a couple months of serious editing. Thus...
Here's your present--so far the best song I've heard from these guys.
PS: How old are you gonna be? I'm gonna be fifteen come the 15th! (You can fix the blank space I left labeled "Happy __th Birthday" if you feel so inclined.
Addendum: Drop in here if you get a chance. I'm in there weekdays beginning at 2-4 PM and weekends whenever under Two1655. (No IRC client?) Two One Six Five Five τ ʃ 16:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, the last few weeks have been hectic! I've been either camping with the kids I look after on weekends, or helping my friends band play on their tour every night >.< So todays the first day I could get back online. Seems I have catching up to do.
Thanks for the birthday wishes =]
I just looked over your RFA, sorry it didn't work out! Don't take it to heart though. Really, the only thing I saw there was constructive critism, nothing you can't work with.
If you don't want admin coaching, that's fine. You don't have to have admin coaching to pass an RFA. If you don't even want to go for an RFA, thats fine too. Honestly, adminship is really, really overrated. You're doing the same thing you used to do, only more people want help, and you can do it a little easier. And lets face it: with rollback now available, theres only a few things admins can do that other users can't already.
Honestly, just take it in stride and you'll pass an RFA. I went through 3 editor reviews, I think, and a number of months before I even thought about adminship. It's more scrutinising than it should be, but that's the way it is.
Meh, forget the stupid admin stuff. I tell ya, WP:RFA is a total battleground. I'll just stick to the only thing I can do well around here, and that's destroying so many vandals that Wannabe Kate will crash trying to count my contribs (okay, not really).
I have no clue what I want to do now, really. I already finished Adoption, I severed AdCo....now what? Two One Six Five Five τ ʃ 13:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
I'm with Keeper in your 2nd nom. I wouldn't completely rule out an RFA. I'd leave it a while, get some more experience in different areas of the wikipedia, learn more about adminship if you're interested. I'm still up to be your admin coach if thats what you want. Or, you could leave it alone completely, and that's fine too. Not everyone wants to be an admin.
Just don't get down! People aren't against you at all. They just don't think that now's the time for you to be promoted.
Um, things to do. First thoughts are to tackle backlogs. I'm probably going to go do a bit of that right now! Theres heaps to do over that way, and general fixing up and editing. I miss that. CattleGirl talk 09:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Merry Christmas, or more precisely, Happy New Year to you too.
I got erroneously warned for REVERTING vandalism, which is a bit goofy the way I see it.
Also, I proposed a new barnstar. Check it out here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_awards.
One question though: how do I make custom signatures like yours?
Two One Six Five Five (talk) 22:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
:) thanks
Well, you were reverting vandalism! The editor realised he made a mistake, so that's ok.
I checked out the barnstar too. I think it looks good! Well done there... I'm shocking with images >.<
Custom signatures? Fairly easy. Takes a small amount of knowledge in html though.
So simply, I have the link to my userpage right at the front, and then after the line- | - where I put what it's displayed as, I use HTML formatting, such as font colours, etc. If you don't know that, which I sure didn't then, then just google HTML codes or similar.
Once you've gotten all the coding, then just put it in your preferences and check Raw Sig.
Oh- and I should mention that you need to be careful with how you customise your signature- colour sensitivity, length, etc. But it sums all that up in WP:SIG.
I at least hope my new sig won't irk the sysops, even though I'm none too sure that there's such thing as red/black color-blindness. Two One Six Five Five discuss my greatness 17:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
'Nother question: If adoption isn't forever, then how do I know when it ends? I mean, it's not like I WANT it to, because you're a great mentor, but I might go for an RfA sometime this year. But not in the first quarter unless I'm feeling particulary brash. Two One Six Five Five discuss my greatness 18:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yep, that's the one I saw :)
Your sigs good! Very nice indeed >.<
Adoption? I was actually going to ask you about that. You can break it off anytime you want, after all, we've been working together since... well I think it's archived now. So a while :) . And you sure know the ropes, which is what the program's all about.
So it's up to you!
I saw your userbox page, btw. Very nice, I also don't like Green Day >.<
How's my edit count? I can't do it myself, but perhaps if you were to just look me up and and hit Ctrl+PrintScreen or something, then email the pic to me or something.
PS: Pardon the egocentricalness. It's a good way to keep up self-esteem.
PPS: Fun fact: My home country of Brazil has the largest cattle industry in the world, as well as the most cowboys. I figgered since your username is CattleGirl, that was a fact woth mentioning.
PPPS: The lead signer of Green Day states he doesn't want to be an (American) idiot, but it's too late for that, eh? [audience laughter]
Your edit count's fair good. I'll printscreen in a minute.... One thing though (although it's pretty minor now) is the edit summaries. But you usually fill that in, so that's not a big deal.
I'd be happy to nominate you, or your admin coach when the time comes, so don't worry about that! I think however that it'd be a good idea to sever adoption before submitting an RFA- although there's nothing wrong with being adopted, I think people would just be more comfortable if you weren't? If that makes sense. It probably doesn't.
Honestly, I think that you've got enough experience, and I think that maybe about a month or something after adoption you could consider adopting other editors. That'd probably be a good time to look at admin coaching as well- which I see you've already been looking at! (well done).
League of Copyeditors, hey? I think I'm going to join that, actually.
Thanks for reminding me if it's existence! I've been looking for some more variety.
Braziallian cattle? I honestly did not know that. But I guess I focus more on the australian and american industry. But thanks to your comment I now have 3 tabs open about Brazillian cattle >.<
And how I absolutely detest that song. Good quote though :P
I see you don't like MCR! (shocking. We could never be friends >.< . I just went to their concert!) Are you into any metal? Love it. Cheers- CattleGirl talk 08:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Bah...the frick with RfAing this year--have you seen how many people freaking nominated Pheadriel? I could never find enough people who found my edits any good, except for reverting vandalism, and people don't support RfAs for just that. Besides, I have way too few edits. I'm a BURBA, for crying out friggin' loud!
Don't worry about that! Phaedriel's very experienced, and could have been an administrator a long while ago in my view. I mean, on my RFA of course there were those who've I've met around the project, and many who only noticed me for the first time during my RFA. It doesn't matter- they'll review your contributions just the same :). And when you think of how many users are on wikipedia, you can be sure that you're well known around here!
And I'd be quote happy of course to nominate you when I feel you're ready- not quite yet, but you sure are getting there :).
If I were you, I'd go for an editor review. Every day I find more parts of the project that I never knew existed, and there's people reviewing who can suggest things I've never thought of.
Some quick advice I can give you now before I head off...
Edit summaries- just be sure that you fill in all of them. If you wanted, you can change your preferences in My Preferences -> Editing -> "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary"
And more directly, with rounding your editing, I'd have a look at more Wikipedia namespace discussion- and mainspace discussion. Where you have many user talk edits (which is great!) people would like to see some article discussion as well :)
But you really are doing well, so keep it up :) Cheers- CattleGirl talk 07:28, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

RageSamurai21655 16:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
PS: I can never seem to remember to uncheck the "Minor edit" checkbox. Maybe if it was unchecked by default or something?Reply
Yeah, you're going pretty well! Just remember to fill in an edit summary :)
Minor edits- when you go into your preferences, and click on the "editing" tab, there's a lot of boxes there. Perhaps you have the "mark all edits minor by default" box checked? That's all I can think of.
Edit summary, got it. You'd be surprised how much effort Wikipedia puts into helping its users get a foothold on editing. :) RageSamurai21655 14:18, 21 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yee-ha! I'm on a vandalism-squashin' roll! It makes me wonder why I've never been to Lupin's page much earlier than this...
Sorry for my random absence :S , but I'm back now.
You're doing really well! Your reversions are accurate, and you're warning the vandal in question every time, which is great :)
If you find a vandal is persistent, then don't forget that after they've gotten their final warning you can list them at WP:AIV, which always has eyes on it.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Do you have any questions?
Keep up the (very) good work! CattleGirl talk 10:44, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Which AV tool is better - Lupin AVT or Twinkle? RageSamurai21655 20:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Also, is it a good idea to use 'em together, or would they conflict and make an absolute mess outta my monobook? RageSamurai21655 (talk) 21:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
I could have sworn I'd replied to this, but it seems I hadn't.
Well, I have them both- it really depends on what you want to do. Lupin's better for just reverting and warning vandals, but Twinkle has a lot more functions.
So far it hasn't made a mess to my monobook, so I'd say it'd be a good idea to have them both :) Cheers-, and sorry for the late reply- CattleGirl talk 22:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Bah! No problem.
Now, what I want to know is how I can become as good a vandal-fighter as, say, RickK or The Rambling Man. Is length of service everything or is there more? Plus, I'm not sure how to contribute majorly to a featured article like almost all admins have. Two One Six Five Five (talk) 22:47, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
(outdent) I guess the only thing I can really say is to do a lot of it. You have the tools for the job, but remember, one of the reasons the two users you listed are so notable is because they did it, and did it accurately. There's no quantity without quality, after all, but I think you've got that!
With the featured articles... hm. I've never edited noe significantly myself, but as you said, a lot of people have.
If you want to edit an article to become featured, your best bet would be to choose a good article, have a look at the parts where it failed to become a FA on the criteria sheets (all links are at WP:FA or WP:GA), and then edit mercilessly!
If you have more persistence, then perhaps editing an article that's not even a Good Article, and move it up through the ranks.
So yes. Really, just pick an article you're interested in, have a look at the WP:FA criteria, and give it a go. And usually there'll be a few other people wanting to edit with you, so it'll be all good.
I think that's all... sorry if I missed anything, I'm a bit distracted. You heard of The Red Shore?
Sad day for Australian metal.
Cheers- CattleGirl talk 08:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hmmmm. Red Shore? Never heard of it. Not even on WP.
As for these failed FAs you speak of, I can't find the links. Could you perhaps include a direct link to this and the criteria in your next message? Two One Six Five Five (talk) 17:59, 27 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hello again :)
A late merry Christmas.
Yeah, they're not notable enough for WP. Actually, they might be now, they've definitely had extensive news coverage lately...
Their link's at [www.myspace.com/theredshore] if you're interested. But I don't know what music you listen to, so...
I think they're fantastic, anyway.
What I meant with the featured articles was to find a page that's been reviewed and upgraded to a Good article, and have a look at the criteria linked to on the article talk page (or you can find them at WP:GACR). Then you can have a look at the Featured Article criteria to see on which points the article failed to reach FA status, and to edit from there judging on the differences between the FA criteria and the GA criteria.
I hope that made sense! Cheers- CattleGirl talk 08:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good Evening. I'm Tintin, male, from the Philippines. You know, I've just been recently editing some articles [i.e. the 2006 Pacific typhoon season and a "new aricle", Typhoon Cimaron (2006)]. To be more familiar with the editing and deletion policies here in Wikipedia (I think that you can update me of any editing new policies in Wikipedia), can you please adopt me?

Sorry if I couldn't talk with you these days. I've been especially busy of my school requirements, though I've been editing some more articles for grammatical errors or deleting a few nonsense words. Ah, I almost forgot... you can adopt me anytime. As of now, I don't have any questions but I'll approach you immediately if I do have. Thank you for replying, my dear friend...--Pika ten10 (talk) 12:33, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Done.
Exactly the same here, I've been away unexpectedly for a week, so sorry about that.
That's fine :) If you think of any questions, be sure to ask, and I'll give you suggestions along the way.
Thanks for adopting me...
I may ask that can I write nothing to my "Edit Summary" box? You know, I always write a summary about my edits on a page, but that I think it just wastes my time, especially on a talk page. Please, I need your urgent reply... -Pika ten10 11:30, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Is the Wikipedia Signpost subscription free(i.e. you'll never pay anything)??
You know, I want to subscribe on the signpost! :) -Pika ten10 11:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome!
Well, of course you can write nothing in the edit summary box, but it's generally a good idea, because it shows other editors exactly what you've been doing. It saves time so people don't have to look at diffs to see the differences in a page- and of course, if later on you'd be looking at being an administrator, accurate edit summaries is something that editors look for.
The Signpost is free, and it's a pretty good idea to subscribe, it's pretty interesting.
I think that's it- feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Cheers- CattleGirl talk 22:52, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Why is it important to wikify a page instead of using HTML??? -Pika ten10 (talk) 13:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I think people editing Wikipedia must be given freedom on what format to use in an article.Reply
Sorry for taking so long to reply... christmas etc.
The way I see it, wikification is important because most people, myself included, don't know sufficient HTML to edit a page. Also, HTML is a bit cluttery... as it does the job, there's a lot of text there (just look at my signature!)
Just something I noticed to improve your editing (wikification again, I suppose...)... It's a good idea when you reply to a message to start a reply with a colon= : . That'll indent your message the way mine will.
So one colon will look like this
Two will look like this
Three will look like this
and so on and so forth.
Just makes it a bit easier to read replies, etc.
Cheers- and if I don't talk to you before then, have a great christmas- CattleGirl talk 08:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Although I agree on you indentation, can you please allow to do non-indentation...? This will be our format if any of us will start a new topic for discussion. That is so that we will understand that one of us has started a new discussion.
Can I make a bot account? I think I can't since I have my account under a year of age...

I saw that you recently listed yourself as available to admin coach. I am looking for an instructor. As stated at admin coaching requests, I have been on wiki for a little more than a year. I had about 3,000 edits the last time I checked, and have gotten an article to featured status pretty much on my own. I am more of a wikignome, preferring to stay in the background and work. I'm looking to improve my contributions and maybe one day be an admin. Please let me know if you are available. Thanks. KnightLago 03:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hi there :)
Sure, I'd be happy to coach you! Judging from your contributions alone, you are a very strong editor, and you're also involved in a lot of the wikignome stuff that I like :)
Do you have any aspects of wikipedia that you wanted to look at specifically?
Nothing specific jumps out at me right away. I would just like to become more familiar with admin tasks and improve my contributions along the way. Then, if all goes well, maybe RFA in a while. KnightLago (talk) 12:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have to head off at the moment, but I'll start a subpage for our coaching probably tomorrow, and then we can get started :)

I have created my first article, it is on Mary Styles Harris, and I am feeling a little confused. There are some problems with my references and I can't figure out how to link my article to others. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you Jaymes10
Hi, how are you?
Linking articles to others is fairly easy. Just add two square brackets around the page name- 'page name here' *minus the spaces of course*
Or did you mean linking your article to external links?
In which case, you only add one square bracket around the link- except before closing the brackets, add a space and then add what you want to call the link- for instance, [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/ Like This] would look Like This
I hope that helped you- do you have any more questions? If so, feel free to ask. Cheers- CattleGirl talk 22:48, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Based on what I can see, your edits to that article were pretty good! So well done for that- you added quite a bit of content, and wikified it.
My only advice for the moment would be to add references throughout the article (see WP:FN), and perhaps add more wikilinks into the History section where needed.

Hi,
My name is Dan G. I am 29 yrs. old living in NYC.
Over the past couple of years, I have been remembering my dreams vividly. I understand these are called "Lucid dreams." Sometimes when I'm dreaming, I know I'm in a dream and am able to create things to happen in them. It's very weird, since most people I know have never had these things occur to them when dreaming.
Alot of the times, I try to fly and walk. Most of the time, however, when dreaming, I'm unable to move, nor speak when I need to.
This has been a recurring problem. I don't believe it is sleep paralysis, because that is when I wake up and can't open my eyes or move. The problem I'm facing is stressful because when I try to discuss it with my psychiartrist, she feels I'm crazy.
I wanted to ask you if you have any idea of what my problem could be.
There have been many times, where I try to stand, or move, but I keep crawling. When I need to say something, I can't because my mouth is paralyzed.
If this happens all the time, for the past couple of years, what could this be?? A sign of stress, or maybe something that could lead to more serious problems?? I may be a hypocondriac in this case, but I really feel something is not right.
Also, when I am awake, when I move my eyeballs upward, I feel pressure and a windy sound in my head. It feels awkard. Again, no one I know has these problems a nd that concerns me.
What is your take on this??
Regards,

Hello again!
I'm having a look at that discussion now. Honestly, I don't think I can help you too much with the content- but if you'd like I can have a look at your progress and help with the Wikipedia formatting and such if you need it. Be bold!. Disambiguation pages are pretty easy- just the page name that's being disambiguated followed by "(Disambiguation)" in the title. Then simply a list of the pages that the search entry could be referring to.
They explain it far better than me at WP:DISAMBIG if you want to have a look.
But I think you can revamp the page without needing a disambiguation page- just include the information that refers to the other fields. That will probably be more organised than a group of pages.
Oh- Drill_presses was redirected to Drill before I got there, so that's all sorted out :)
Sorry this was so brief, I don't have very long on the internet here, but feel free to ask me if you need any clarification :)

User page, and WikiProject Panic! at the Discoedit
Latest comment: 16 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
Your user page seems to 'break the borders' in Firefox and Opera, it looks; but it works fine in IE. Perhaps you could change the code to this:
<removed code>
The blank space and <BR> has completely been substituted with {{-}} (or {{clear}}, and it renders fine, then.
Also, CattleGirl, about WikiProject P!atD, what's to become of it if the band has change its name to PatD? That, and seeing as I don't have the powers to do so, though I would do it if I could, would you be able to somehow retain the edit history of the original P!atD article and the recent edits to PatD? That would be great, thanks. It looks like some user (or users) manually moved the content. Qwerty (talk) 14:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh, thanks for that! I thought there must be some difference with the different browsers, seems there is :)
I'm pretty sure they have changed their name, but I'll have to check to make sure it's definite. Curses of holidays without internet- I'm out of the loop. Oh, and I just checked- Moonriddengirl Just did a history merge of both pages, so thats all sorted out.

Hello, Cattle Girl
You probably remember working together on the Romney sheep page. Looking at it recently, I see someone (a human being? a wiki robot?) has asked for citations on certain statements, some of which I wrote and some of which others put in since.
Someone has made an astute point in a commentary that in one place the article now says improvement has been entirely from within the breed and in another it says that improvements were made using Bakewell's Leicester.
I'd like to e-talk with the people who have worked on the article since you and I did and hammer out these conflicts, place citations or remove unverifiable statements.
Unfortunately, I can't remember how to open a discussion with all the people who have contributed since last April. Can you please remind me how to start one, and if possible, explain to me how to directly contact them via a talk page like yours. When I click on user names like "trigger12" I just get a message that there is no user page.
Hope your Romneys are flourishing. We are just beginning lambing.
Yeah, I just looked at the history of the page. They probably helped us quite a bit :).
Sure I can help you, and I'd love to keep working on the article as well.
To start a conversation, you just need to go to the history of the romney page, and have a look for the person who made a particular edit. You'll see their username, and then (talk) written next to it- which is their talk page.
Pages with a red link aren't created yet... but I just looked and I think trigger12 was created after you got there, so that should be ok now.
Our Romneys are great at the moment, we're just picking out our show team from last year's lambs. We also just bought a few Maremma puppies, so it's going pretty well.

Hi, how're you going?
I've looked at the page, and I'm really not sure how much I can do. Really the main thing I see that needs to be done is reorganising the way the references are set out, but I really don't know how to do that...
I've reformatted a couple of things, but other than that, I think this is someone else project.
I am fine, how would you prefer that the references were better laid out? ~ Cheers! Dreamy§ 20:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
I had some spare time, so I fixed a couple more things. With the references, they're pretty good, I've just deleted a couple of refs that were already cited just beforehand (you can see what I've done in the history of the page) or shuffled around the order they were in. It's looking good! Cheers- CattleGirl talk 08:37, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Dear CattleGirl,
I think it's pretty cool of you to edit Spencer Smith's page and stuff. I'm a huge fan of Panic At The Disco and I like to find out info about them on wikipedia. But when reviewing you page about Spencer I noticed a flaw. Spencer's birth place was previously thought to be Summerlin, Las Vegas like all the other members except for Jon. But recently in an interview I saw that Spencer said his birth place was Denver, CO and that he only lived in Summerlin and grew up there. I got this off of meinlcymbals.com. Just thought you should know.

Hello, I found you on the list of Admins who will grant rollback requests. I am pretty active on WP, editing a ton and I have created several new namespace pages as well, most proudly the entire NFL Expansion Draft series. I fight vandalism when I see it, and occasionally the rollback feature would be useful. I have the power right now really through the installation of Twinkle, but occasionally I use IE instead of Firefox, and Twinkle down not work with IE. Also, I wouldn't mind the vote of confidence. Please see my contributions and also recognize that I have never had any problems with other editors that weren't amicably worked out, no 3RR warnings, etc. I don't constantly vandal-fight, I usually stay in the main article space trying to create and or fix articles, but do at times.

I have noticed that you are listed as a member of the Star Wars WikiProject, which has been defunct for a long time. I would like to inform you that I am attempting to revitalize it. As such, I would officially like to invite you to participate in the project once again. If you are interested, please sign your name at Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Star Wars#February 2009 Roll Call. Hope to see you soon! FirestormTalk 15:21, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
I've been asked by my school to monitor our page, Hamden Hall Country Day School as we frequently get vandalism from other independent schools in the area. Having the ability to rollback these changes would be a big help for me. How could I go about doing this? Regards, peteg913leave me one 17:19, 8 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Message from the My Chemical Romance task forceedit
Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hello!
You may be interested to know that the WikiProject My Chemical Romance has recently been transformed into a task force of WikiProject Emo. Please visit the task force page to see what's new. This move allies the task force with a larger WikiProject that handles much of the administrative overload, thus allowing task force members to focus on the most important activity: article improvement.
The project's membership list has also been moved to the new task force page. If you see that your username is in the "Inactive/former members" section, please do not take offense; this is because you no longer appear to be active on Wikipedia. We may also take the liberty of removing the member userbox from your userpage if it appears there, to prevent you from automatically appearing in Category:My Chemical Romance task force members. Of course you are free to rejoin the task force and re-add the userbox at any time if you would like to become active again.
For active editors, it is our hope that this change will help spur you to improve articles related to My Chemical Romance. You may have noticed that the old My Chemical Romance project userbox on your user page has automatically changed to the new task force userbox. We may take the liberty of fixing the template link on your userpage, to avoid redirects.
Thank you and we hope you will continue to support the My Chemical Romance task force!
You are receiving this message because you have previously identified yourself as a member of WikiProject My Chemical Romance, either because your name appeared on the project's Participants page or because you have placed the project userbox on your user page. As a courtesy, if you have left the project, retired from Wikipedia, or simply no longer wish to be an active member of the task force, please remove the userbox from your user page. This will remove you from Category:My Chemical Romance task force members and help the task force to keep its active membership list up-to-date.

Hello there, I've been on wikipedia for a long time now, and have thoroughly enjoyed this amazing site, and would like to be able to more easily help counter vandals. I hate seeing a page with vandalism, and mercilessly undo it anyways, but would like to be able to do that a little more easily. Anyways, just wondering if you would consider changing my privileges so that I could do that, I'd like to move up a little on the wikipedia totem pole.

"The only confusion was, I think we all thought they were women. Kim was obviously a woman, but they all had this shaved-headed, pretty, soft look. And there were lots of lesbian bands at the time, and we always got booked with them, so we just thought the Pixies were another, like maybe they were like angry divorcees or somthing that formed a band.'" - Kristin Hersh

Hi, CattleGirl. I'm doing a study about Wikipedia (particularly about sysops) for my Masters in Communications and Media Studies at Monash Uni, and was wondering if you would be so kind as to take some time to talk to me. I'm contacting a few editors/sysops in hopes of hearing first-hand accounts of your day-to-day activities are and your relationship with other members of the community. If you're in Melbourne and can spare some time for a friendly talk (no more than 30 minutes), I'd greatly appreciate it :)
Please let me know if you're interested. Cheers, --In continente (talk) 06:33, 17 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Could you let me know if you are still interesting in being involved with Admin Coaching, or if you would prefer to have your name removed from the "reconfirmation" list and placed on the "retired" list. If you want to be involved, could you please move your entry from "Reconfirmation" to "Active" and indicate how many students you would be willing to have (obviously, if you are actively coaching at the moment, then please indicate this!)
If I do not hear from you within a week, I will assume that you would like to have your name removed from the list of coaches and moved to the retired list.

Hey I would like to apply for Rollback but I am unsure as to how this application works. Do I simply have to ask you and you will decide whether or not to grant it to me? If so this is my official application!

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivityedit
Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

File permission problem with File:Romneymarshsheep.jpgedit
Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Thanks for uploading File:Romneymarshsheep.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kellyhi! 21:23, 18 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanztalk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.

Hi there,
I'm messaging you to let you know that I've removed Template:Adopting from your user page because you have been inactive for at least 30 days. If you are active again, you are welcome to add the template to your userpage anytime. -- Gabrielchihonglee-Bot (talk) 11:33, 2 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cattle judging until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
Hey Cattle Girl, I hope you are doing good.? Been a long time. I needed a favor of you to administer a page as some one keep re writing the page content for their personal promotions. Please check this page for me
