Hi - just a quick question - here you said that the user was not warned correctly, but the reason I reported was because they had already been given a level 4 (by an admin) for creating the exact same page. Is your concern that the L4 was too old to count? Just wondering if there is a statute of limitations on these... Thanks. 7 01:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * (Please respond here - I'm watching)  7  01:02, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Typically yes, as the last L4 I see was from May. Usually they are only valid for a few days. --Admrboltz (talk) 01:14, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok - thanks.  7  02:21, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure this was content deletion?
Re this revert: I don't see anything wrong with what this IP added. It's not sourced, but a quick scan of any Utah Highway map will confirm that what they added is correct. Dave (talk) 07:18, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * He added content and split one paragraph into two. Unless I'm missing something, nothing was deleted.Dave (talk) 07:21, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

202.171.172.90
Hi, I recently reported this user for vandalism and it came back that the user had had insufficient warnings. I reported them because the user had a final warning posted on his account I think within the last few weeks and had had 3, I suppose you could call them blue, warnings since then. I took it that these warnings counted even though they aren't the ones that say if you carry on editing like this you will be blocked. I'm just wondering how recent the warnings have to be because I thought they were recent enough?

I agree with you that it is worth keeping an eye on this user which is why I've added him to my watchlist. It's just it's pointless me reporting them again if they've still not had sufficient warnings.

Thanks --5 albert square (talk) 00:59, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, thanks for clearing that up. I will keep an eye on this user --5 albert square (talk) 01:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Looks like he has now been blocked (again). Thanks for the advice again --5 albert square (talk) 21:36, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Hand sanitizer with aloe.jpg
Hi,

How was the source of File:Hand sanitizer with aloe.jpg unclear?

Thanks! kmccoy (talk) 14:43, 10 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The PD-self template actually says "I, the copyright holder of this work". That gives you the information needed.  Regardless, it could have been cleared up with less confusion and stress on the user with a quick message, rather than fairly imposing-looking CSD templates.  I know that it's easy while patrolling for vandalism and such to just throw down some templates and move on, but these sorts of cases are where we lose good contributors by treating them like vandals simply because they couldn't navigate our fairly complicated image use policy.  Instead of templating users who are clearly making good-faith, honest efforts to improve the encyclopedia, I implore you to take the time to leave a personal message explaining the situation, and do what you can to help them.  Please.  Thanks! kmccoy (talk) 18:20, 10 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I appreciate the work you're doing in trying to prevent vandalism.  kmccoy (talk) 03:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you so much for giving me another chance. Next time I will check to see if I am not meeting the rules before I post anything. Lokiwintergersky (talk) 04:52, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Question
Hey, you said that I could ask you any questions. Well I was checking out the help page about imputing a picture into a page. What I don't understand is how do you know what to put after the [[image: part. Any help or advice you could give me would be wonderful.  Thx.  [[User:Lokiwintergersky|Lokiwintergersky]] (talk) 03:50, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Im trying to use a wikipedia picture, but I don't know what to put after the [[image: part. How would I know to put a .png or somthing like that?  Also what would I put befor the .-- part? [[User:Lokiwintergersky|Lokiwintergersky]] (talk) 04:08, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

But how do I know if it I put example.jpd?Lokiwintergersky (talk) 04:15, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Umm, just any image because Im just confused if I was going to use an image on a page then how would I know what to type?Lokiwintergersky (talk) 04:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, OK now I get it. Umm I hate to be a burden, but I have two more questions, are we allowed to write about people, places, or like a review? Also, what would I do if I wanted to use a pic form a website or one I took? Lokiwintergersky (talk) 04:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

OK now I get it thx.Lokiwintergersky (talk) 05:08, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Douglas Road
I see that you have flagged this article requesting inline cites. When I came across the no references flag on the article, I thought I would footnote particular facts but reading the two sources, both of which I have in front of me, I had trouble sorting out what to cite without adding a footnote at the end of each sentence, most of which would cite Ormsby and some of which would also cite Ency BC. In the end, I decided, contrary to my initial approach, to add the two cites as general references instead and removed the no reference flag. Looking at When to cite, I note that there aren't any quotes, and none of the statements in the article seem to me to be exceptional or contentious but that is just my impression so I thought I would ask if there are some particular parts of the article that you challenge or that seem to need a particular cite, please let me know and I will cite them specifically. -- KenWalker | Talk 18:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, go ahead and remove the notice I placed. Generic references are fine in this case then. Thank you. --Admrboltz (talk) 18:45, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, will do. -- KenWalker | Talk 18:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

What to write about
Umm hey its me again, I was wondering if you had any helpful topics to write about to get me started because everything I try to write about has been taken. Also, I can't think of what to write about. Lokiwintergersky (talk) 21:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

OK. Also, I was wondering how do you do a table chart. If you were to go to a random article then there would be a table (usually on the side, also, how do you put it on the side?), but how would you make one of them?Lokiwintergersky (talk) 21:25, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Okay thx. Oh, also how do you change the color for it because I've seen green ones and gray ones. Lokiwintergersky (talk) 22:09, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Thx Lokiwintergersky (talk) 22:30, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Help
Im having trouble putting images onto a page. Whenever I click on an image like you said on the top of the page it has a thing like file:.... but when I try to put it on a page it doesn't show. Lokiwintergersky (talk) 00:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Ya, but I don't put {{image:file:... but when I look at at the top of the page it has spaces between the words and they have caps. Do I include all of that as well? Lokiwintergersky (talk) 00:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, never mind I figured it out, it was because I was using {{ instead of Lokiwintergersky (talk) 00:25, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Thx for the help. Lokiwintergersky (talk) 00:26, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

UTA TRAX/UTA Color
“… you broke UTA TRAX”: hardly informative as to exactly what the problem was (and also, incidentally, contrary to Be bold). If you want to do something useful, write some documentation for so people don't have maker trial-and-error changes. Useddenim (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Since there's a dearth of explanatory documentation about many of the templates, I had simply done a “cut 'n' paste” from Template:LUL color, and I guess I missed a couple of &lt;nowiki&gt; tags, or maybe a transclude. I'm trying again, this time without being so fancy. Useddenim (talk) 15:15, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Maintaining a Personal Wiki Page
Good Morning Russell,

I was signing onto wikipedia today to make some edits to the page my brother had made for me, "Justin Geer", in which i keep my music and acting career up to date, but when i signed in a got a message saying the page had been deleted by Admrboltz because of lack of notability after the results of online searches. Just wondering if there was info on there that led to the page being deleted, and what we can do in the future to keep it from happening. Hope this message finds you well!
