Talk Archive 1: February 2007
Bienvenido Boricua, welcome to Wikipedia. Here's some tips:
 * You can introduce yourself on the new users page
 * If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
 * You can sign your name using four tildes, like ~ . If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian De lo buenos quedan poco! Tony the Marine 17:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Olga Nolla
I am here to guide you and help you in any way that I can. Please do not hesitate to ask me for any help. I noticed your additions to Rosario's article and they are great. If I were you, I won't worry too much about placing Olga Nolla for faetured article yet. Peer review is very strict and they'll tell you it is too short or that it needs lots of inline references and such. Here is an example of a featured article that I wrote so that you will get an idea: Military history of Puerto Rico.

Anyway, you will run into some rude people along the way, just keep your "cool" (No dejes que te jodan). Try not to get into any heated arguments and if someone reverts your edits try to avoid a revert war because you may be blocked from editing if you revert something three times in the same article. Ask for help.

If you want to upload an image, the most important thing to check is that the image is of free domain and that it does not violate any copyright laws. The first step would be to upload the image to your documents, then go to this link: Images for upload and follow the instructions on the page. Tony the Marine 18:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * How do I write references?Charleenmerced 19:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced

Here is an example:

If you wrote this:

Tony the Marine was a very good-looking guy.

==Notes==

and then. So this is what you'd want to type: USERBOXES If you'd like to have the table including your project userboxes on the left side of your page just under the flag, edit your userpage and paste the aforementioned code above and below the table, then copy everything and paste it just above ==About me==. If you experience any problems with this, just let me know, or I can do it for you if you'd like.

Also, regarding your signature: please be aware that WP:SIG disallows editors from including images in their signatures-- while Image:SoleteRayosÑajo.gif‎ is a nice animation, it can slow down the loading of pages, can be distracting, and it would be best if you'd remove it. Additionally, while ediitng your signature, could you fix the link to your talk page? It currently links to Usertalk:Charlennmerced (note the missing space). Muchos gracias. Hasta luego, Dar-Ape 21:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Different flavours of English
In New Zealand English, -ise endings are generally preferred to -ize endings. On article pages I'm happy to stick with whatever type of English is in progress, but I think it's OK to use my native spelling on talk pages :)  Of course, given that post was on something fairly pedantic, I should expect that. --Limegreen 01:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Language differences are certainly interesting. In the past I've done a little social psychology stuff looking at differences between US and NZ useage of words, and a bit on accents. And on the flavor v. flavour thing, the ones I find weirdest are aluminium versus aluminum (on, and when honour was changed thus hono u r in the US, that it didn't become h ono u r). --Limegreen 20:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Olga nolla.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Olga nolla.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 23:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Wineries list in Carmenere
Hey Charleen! I notice that you added a list of wineries that make Carmenere wine. I didn't delete them but I was wondering if you could reconsider their inclusion per the essay Wikipedia is not a wine guide. A list, in general, is hard to maintain and will be a target for anon editors wanting to include their favorite winery (even if it is not notable). If a particular winery has made some notable and unique contribution to the production of Carmenere wine, they certainly merit inclusion but that would ideally be incorporated into a paragraph of text rather then a list. I know the best intention is to introduce others to this new world of wine and I whole heartedly encourage you to share your thoughts on your favorite Carmenere wines on the talk page of our Wine Improvement Drive. Thank you, though, for your enthusiasm and work on this grape article. I think at the end of the Wine Improvement Drive we will definitely be able to submit it for GA. :) AgneCheese/Wine 23:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * WOW!!! After not visiting the Carmenère article for a while, I marvel at how it has been enhanced! Gee, I'm awed. Excellent work; you and Agne27 deserve praise and my full appreciation. OK, I'll start work at getting the labels you have asked. But I must first unglue them from new bottles, prior to scanning them. Please give me some time. Or do you prefer photographs of the bottles? I can send either of them to you, if you'd be so kind as to supply an e-mail address. Mine is aka_ef@yahoo.com. Regards, --AVM 01:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiQuiz
Indeed your answers are correct! You win Round One. Round Two is coming soon. If you want, you can use on your user page. It is a mildly attractive userbox. Hooray! Goyston talk, contribs, play 23:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Chaleenmerced/monobook.css
You've placed editprotected on User talk:Chaleenmerced/monobook.css, without any indication as to why. In what way do you want your monobook.css edited, or were you trying to do something else? --ais523 18:17, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I was wondering about that, too. ;) Removing the request, for now (CAT:PER is backlogged a bit), pending some more information. If you're having trouble, feel free to ask any questions at the help desk. One thing I noticed, you may want to be editing User:Charleenmerced/monobook.js (the R was missing, before). – Luna Santin  (talk) 19:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want persondata to be visible to your own view, go to Special:Mypage/monobook.css and enter

table.persondata {display:table;}
 * (for most browsers) or

table.persondata {display:block;}
 * (if you use Internet Explorer) as the only thing on that page. Then bypass your cache and you should be able to see persondata. I hope that helps! --ais523 10:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Chilenian wine growers
Hi Charleenmerced, will you write also about Vina los Vascos, Veramonte and Vinedos Errázuriz Ovalle ?? --Symposiarch 10:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

User:200.50.20.234
Since I can't be sure this is a static IP and they have only vandalised on three days out of a month, I can't really block them. The policy is "The vandal is active now, has received a proper set of warnings, and has vandalized after a recent last warning, except in unusual circumstances." Sorry.
