Your "merge request" for psychometry

What you have been discussing on the talk page is a multiple page move, not a merge request; wherever the articles end up, there will still be need for a disambiguation page, although it is possible it may need to move to psychometry (disambiguation). The proper way to propose such a move is using the process described at WP:Requested moves. Please can I suggest you remove the merge templates and make a move request, if that is your intention? Thanks, --MegaSloth (talk) 11:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I see your point; what threw me off is the explanation for Help:Move did not seem to address this particular situation. So what I should really be proposing is a double move: Psychometry to Psychometry (disambiguation) and then Token-object reading to Psychometry. Does this sound right? - Steve3849 11:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Done, I think. - Steve3849 12:26, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Photo Images

Just a quick FYI, I've removed the photo credits from the images on several of the articles you created, per Wikipedia:Captions#Credits--Jac16888^Talk 07:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up; I'll stop doing that. - Steve3849 09:22, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I just took care of all the rest; some were uploaded on Wikipedia Commons. - Steve3849 17:30, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you very much--Jac16888^Talk 18:52, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

SPI

Have I offended you in some way? If so, I apologise. Verbal chat 16:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to have to agree here ... 2 users with completely different grammar styles, with different time of day editing? What did Verbal or Enric ever do to you? (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 18:09, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

If they are genuinely two different users, then as Verbal says, "one more for the list." - Steve3849 19:16, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

To clarify, it is the rather long list of people I've been accused of being. One SPI listed about 20 very active editors, several of which were involved in disputes with each other! Verbal chat 19:46, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Funny, though maybe not my place to say. - Steve3849 20:32, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

He means Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Verbal/Archive. The most hilarious thing: accusing Jack Merridew of being a sock of someone. --Enric Naval (talk) 21:41, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

...and seriously Steve, although it's your right to file this, do you hope to be taken seriously when there's an actual requirement in the future? One of the previous times that Verbal was accused of being a sock was because of an editing dispute, and the other editor has not been heard from since ... you do yourself a great disservice in reliability by filing one so obvious like this one. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:01, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I had an edit conflict with the closure of the case while uploading the following edit. So I'll post it here.

"User:Bwilkins has brought to my attention that this appears to be an obvious result of an editing dispute User_talk:Steve3849#SPI. It is implied that presenting this case jeopardizes my personal standing as an editor at wikipedia. In the past I have been the object of abuse in a much more dramatic example of sockpuppetry by User:JamesBurns. Fortunately, my involvement in his case was not necessary, but certainly I had edit disputes with that user and several of his sockpuppets. The level of suspected sockpuppetry presented as Enric Naval is dramatically less. User:Bwilkins appears to be turning this back towards me as a trangression on my part. If there is support among administrators regarding his statement to me then I will drop this as he suggests."

The timing of the edit conflict spared us all from this edit as a part of the case. The case is closed and hopefully you're association of myself with "not heard from since" users is done as well. My association with such a statement is similar to stories one hears about the Mafia and the CIA. ;-) - Steve3849 00:14, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:47, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Your vote would be appreciated! makeswell (talk) 20:50, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

• This permission does not give you any special status or authority
• Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
• You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page

If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 16:26, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing :-) - Steve3849^talk 09:14, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

American Stars 'n Bars

Huh? Now the same review is in the reference list twice--once properly templated, and once with incorrect punctuation. I have hopes of expanding this article and getting it up to GA status; you're not helping the cause. Drmies (talk) 04:49, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Admittedly I did not read the entire article prior to reintroducing the reference which had just been deleted. I was responding only to the last edit which commented that it was removing the Rolling Stone article reference and didn't mention duplication. Sorry. I can stay away while you're working. - Steve3849^talk 06:02, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

I just read your revision fix. "Get it right." Thanks for the advice. - Steve3849^talk 06:17, 22 March 2011 (UTC) I see also you've blanked a section on the talk page I introduced. Double-thanks now for helping me swallow my pride. - Steve3849^talk 06:45, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Sorry Steve--I think I was grumpy last night. Please accept my apologies. Anyway--I think the article has potential. Are you good at digging up reviews from the music journals? Drmies (talk) 15:14, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Accepted. As for reference material I'm not an expert. When I have the time and interest there is a local University with a periodical archive; otherwise it's Google. - Steve3849^talk 16:09, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Berkeley Psychic Institute (or however you spell that dratted name)

You seem to have this well-in-hand, and know what you're doing. Think I'm going to go off to articles that don't have highly capable editors watching over them =) If you want to discuss anything, I can, but main reason I edit Wikipedia is to try to cut down articles that might be dangerous or misleading - X treats cancer, Y shows evolution is wrong, that sort of thing - and there's nothing in this article remotely worrisome now. Only reason I proposed deletion was because of the sourcing, you've managed to find enough sources (which is rather good, actually - things that peaked before the internet really took off are much harder to document.) 86.** IP (talk) 17:01, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 6

Hi. When you recently edited Al-Qaeda, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Islamic Jihad (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
3. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
- '''<font face="courier" color="#487946">[[User:Steve3849|Steve3849]]</font>'''<sup>'''<font face="courier" color="#487946">[[User_talk:Steve3849|talk]]</font>'''</sup>

Fixed signature:
- '''[[User:Steve3849|<span style="color:#487946; font-family:'courier';">Steve3849</span>]]'''<sup>'''[[User_talk:Steve3849|<span style="color:#487946; font-family:'courier';">talk</span>]]'''</sup>

More information is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:19, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
