Adoption
I would like to offer you the chance to be adopted by me. I am an experienced adopter and can offer a structured beginning to your wikipedia career. If you would like to accept, drop me a line on my talk page. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk |Sign 18:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * All sorted! You will find your program page here. This is where we will conduct the adoption from now on. Welcome aboard! Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk |Sign 20:09, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This page is used by all my adoptees and another uses adoptees. It is not just yours. However, it is good to know that you can revert edits as this will be very useful when reverting vandalism. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk |Sign 12:55, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. I'm sorry for that mistake. I should be more careful in the future. Sorry... Evangeline (talk) 14:49, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi!


Marx01 (talk) has given you a WikiCake! WikiCakes promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cake, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!

Spread the tastiness of cakes by adding {{subst:GiveCake}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Hey I'm Dillon and I just wanted to say hi. I thought that if I want to meet users why not start with fellow adoptees! So yeah feel free to look at my userpage and get to know me a little better! Marx01 (talk) 21:57, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the pie! Your page is coolio too! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marx01 (talk • contribs) 02:41, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Sandbox
I see that one of your goals is to produce a sandbox. If you go onto my userpage you will see a "create page" thingy between two lines. If you type into that box your user name (User:Bejinhan) and a / then the name of your sand box (Sandbox, Work place, My page for creating utter genius etc). Then click "Create page" and you will have created it. Good luck, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk |Sign 18:53, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks! I'll do it when I have time.

Can I copy+paste that thing into my user page? Bejinhan a.k.a. Evangeline Talk   01:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Task
Ahem! Are you having trouble with your latest task? Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk |Sign 15:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * No... I don't have much time to come online now. I'll try to complete it as soon as possible. Evangeline  Talk   06:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright then. That's fine. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk |Sign 14:30, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

To our newest Rollbacker
I have just granted you rollback rights because I believe you to be trustworthy, and because you have a history of reverting vandalism and have given in the past or are trusted in the future to give appropriate warnings. Please have a read over WP:ROLLBACK and remember that rollback is only for use against obvious vandalism. Please use it that way (it can be taken away by any admin at a moment's notice). You may want to consider adding Rollback and User rollback to your userpage. Any questions, please drop me a line. Best of luck and thanks for volunteering!  wadester 16  14:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Bejinhan. I just wanted to let you know that I had a concern about your edits (comments here) relating to granting you Rollback. You reverted a few edits by Pourquoi Cherie, who added commas to a few articles where they weren't grammatically accurate. It's nice that you left the user a personal message about their edits that you reverted, but you labeled them as "can be considered vandalism", which really isn't accurate. There's a difference between "seemingly unconstructive" and the "vandalism" label. Just as a reminder, make sure to use rollback only for edits that are obviously vandalism. Let me know if you have questions. :-) Happy editing, Jamie  S93  14:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, no problem. :-) I tend to take the "when in doubt, use Twinkle" approach. Best, Jamie  S93  14:31, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

ACC
You closed request #34270 as "too similar". However, the account that it is similar to (user:Jmio) was created on 10 January 2007 and has only one edit from that day. What you should have done, when the pink box popped up telling you "this account is too similar" and gave you the username that it was similar to was click on "contribs". There you would have found out that this account is not active and had only one edit from 2 years ago. After having found that out, you should have then "deferred to flagged users" as users with special permissions can override these spoofing checks. I have gone ahead and created the account. Best, → javért stargaze 10:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for informing me. I'm sorry for that mistake. It won't happen again. Bejinhan  Talk   12:12, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'm pretty sure all of us at ACC have made at least one mistake. :) Best, → javért stargaze 20:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Saw where you might be considering entering a situation where, alas, angels fear to tread (the Dook / Duke Debate). It seems to be heating up a bit amidst some talk pages, so I did just want to mention that the entire case is a bit spring loaded... DukeEGR</i><i style="color:blue;">93</i> 04:49, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah... I know. I saw the debate going on in the Talk:Dook page. Since what you guys want is someone to facilitate communication and forestall edit warring, I can help. Bejinhan  Talk   09:49, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * So - not sure why but all seems quiet on the Dook front. I feel as if I've pitched my case and figured I would wait from a reply from those who disagreed earlier.  Not sure what that means, but still appreciate your looking at the situation nonetheless! <i style="color:blue;">Duke</i><i style="color:gray;">EGR</i><i style="color:blue;">93</i> 15:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I've noticed that. I wanted to 'poke' you guys and ask why. Okay, I'll ask the other party to present his case. Bejinhan  Talk   02:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Task
I've been watching your edits, stalkerish I know, and I see you been doing little bits of editing all over the place, which is good. I would like you to use your editing skills to improve some stubs to start class articles. It wont be hard and is a giant leap towards getting your own B-class article. Good luck, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk |Sign 20:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Article Question
I saw that you asked about how you get an article to b-class on Gaia's page, and I think it depends on what the subject is. Like with my antibody article I had to create a type of infobox for it because there was none of it's kind. But the Antibody article doesn't have an info box and is A/B-class. I think it has mainly to do with how descriptive the article is; the more sourced facts you have the better the article is. Also pics and tables and stuff help as well. Also you can check project pages for their requirements. I hope that helped!  Marx01  Tell me about it 05:31, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright! Thanks for the explanation. Bejinhan  Talk   05:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That's a very good explanation. There are about 6 things you should do to get an article to B-class. A longer version of the summary below can be found here.
 * Suitably referenced, with inline citations
 * Reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies
 * Has a defined structure, with an introduction and at least 1 or 2 content sections
 * Is reasonably well-written
 * Contains supporting materials (Images/tables/infoboxes)
 * Technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible


 * Hope this helps! Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk |Sign 10:37, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

You don't think this is an offensive username? Just wondering. <span style="padding:2px;background: #cccccc; color: #0000cc; BORDER-RIGHT: #6699cc 3px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #6699cc 3px solid;"> 7   talk &#124; &Delta; &#124;   06:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah. I went ahead and blocked it for the time being. Even if he is here for good purposes, I really can't see how it would pass the latter two parts of misleading, promotional, offensive, or disruptive. Given he knows how to request through ACC, I don't think it is too high of a barrier to entry to ask him to change the name now than when he runs into another editor on an article.  MBisanz  talk 07:10, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks MBisanz. Bejinhan - per your question on my talk page you can request an admin to look at a username by going to WP:UAA or using the ARV tab in twinkle.  Just remember to check a username against WP:U when helping at ACC.

 * Best to setup a generic gmail account if you want to be active in ACC.  Also - the real way to have notified them would have been to click "invalid" or "upolicy" which would prompt the system to send them a note that the account was not created.  If you just do DROP then the user just waits forever without notification.   <span style="padding:2px;background: #cccccc; color: #0000cc; BORDER-RIGHT: #6699cc 3px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #6699cc 3px solid;">  7   talk &#124; &Delta; &#124;   07:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I looked at your recommendations to see if you got any of the weird stuff I did and saw that you got a few. I guess that's one of the curses of reverting vandalism!  Marx01  Tell me about it 03:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Cite
I believe that you deserve an apology. Being the person I am I always look at the bottom of pages for the author, never the top. I saw King down there and thought he had written the article, but it was in fact Boje! You were right, and again I apologize... I have changed it back. Thank you for catching that!  Marx01  Tell me about it 04:28, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No I don't believe in Festivalism... it just seemed like an interesting subject. I'm a socialist democrat. I know that the section I wrote may be controversial, but I am also going to write an opposition section once I get the time :). Good job questioning that though. If you ever think that edits are biased, swayed, or are spam, you can remove them or change them.  Marx01  Tell me about it 13:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The orphan tag is for articles which do not have many articles linking to it. I'm going to try and fix it when I can, but with school starting back up edits may be slow. If you want to check the articles linking to it just click the link to it link within the article. Thanks for asking!  Marx01  Tell me about it 13:40, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That's cool! Just curious but was it a comparison or a part of festivalism itself?  Marx01  Tell me about it 14:48, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I wasn't too sure about that myself actually... I say we put it on since it does deal with ideologies but it also deals with politics. I would put both on there, just to be safe.  Marx01  Tell me about it 03:56, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not very experienced in the category creation process... or the template creation process... I would look around in the WP:Temp, WP:Stub, and WP:Category help pages.

Vilnius International Airport
Just wanted to let you know that Loginas made the correct edit. None of the airlines logos are free and don't qualify for fair-use outside of an article about the airline. The consensus currently is not to link destinations and frankly the overuse of flags to decorate is just page bloat and provides no extra information. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 13:16, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. everybody was just making good faith edits. One of those things. Here's a good way to use rollback and hope nobody notices. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 13:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, here's where Rosiestep remvoves the category and this is where I can't figure out what she is doing and instead of asking I just restore the category. 4 minutes later I figure out that she has a new category scheme and use rollback on my own edit. The bit about not wanting people to see is that it's a bit embarrassing. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 13:48, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

WOAH! You really revamped your userpage! Did you do that by yourself?  Marx01  Tell me about it 14:21, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

This is mainly an issue I have, but the two things which I hate on Wikipedia are red links and templates. The red links are fine: I might " blue " a few of them since I'm not getting very far with Festivalism. I do not expect you to fix the red links, that does not impair you from reaching b-class. I'm also horrible at finding citations for articles I didn't write, but I still cannot stand things. Basically I love love love love your article but I hate hate hate hate the template :) Good job I'll rate it right now! I would say it's a C-class since it has issues with citations, but if you fix those it is a B!  Marx01  Tell me about it 20:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

As for the Article; Mainly the Marriage and Family Section (an easy way to do this would be to include information about the children (such as careers, etc.) and maybe some of his past with his wife) and the "Later Life" Section. For that I would expand upon things like any awards he won or any other trivial things (without making it a trivia section). That's about it! Again nice article!

Adoption
I have an adoptee who I cannot adopt at the moment. Their name is Joshlind so I was thinking you could adopt them? You seem prepared! Marx01 Tell me about it 02:55, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you want to do this but with my program I am laying the bricks as I go. You can look at what I did here but I used their personal interests to help them move along at their own pace and doing what they're interested in. If you want to do it the other way (which might work better) that's totally cool! Just putting that out there! Marx01  Tell me about it 03:03, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good! I usually give them goodies for doing optional tasks or any "extra credit" so that they feel appreciated. For example: If they complete one optional task then they get a prize based on their effort. Prizes are based on workload. Also I give them extensive introduction tests so that I know their interests and can formulate new tasks and give them things to do. Just suggestions! Nice adoption program!

William Del Biaggio
Hi! I've declined speedy deletion of William Del Biaggio, which you tagged for A7. The article does contain a credible claim of importance/significance, and is even referenced to a reliable source (the Los Angeles Times), so A7 is not applicable here. Feel free to use prod or AfD instead. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 10:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and thanks for your support in my RfA, by the way :) Jafeluv (talk) 10:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
