World No. 1
Is it necessary to discuss such a minuscule change? On every player's talk page? Do you realize that would be the end of Wikipedia? You'd do best pointing me to a page where it says it should be written World No. 1 instead of world number one. ☆ CieloEstrellado 06:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I've already told you it's a point not worth discussing. It doesn't need to be world number one on EVERY Wikipedia page. It just is in the ones I've already changed. If you want to revert this, it's your problem not mine. ☆ CieloEstrellado 06:39, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you, GlassCobra. See my post on CieloEstrellado's discussion page. Tennis expert (talk) 08:35, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Can you explain to me why is World capitalized? ☆ CieloEstrellado 02:44, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Semih Aydilek semi-protection
I did not protect the page for any reason connected to the PROD.


 * First, the anon, having been previously blocked by someone else, had requested unblock. I declined, since he had previously declared it was his intention to edit-war. He responded to the decline by threatening to evade the block.


 * So, as we usually do in such circumstances, I decided to protect the pages he had been editing disruptively, rather than leave some other admin the headache of possibly having to rangeblock. There were three, of which Semih Aydilek was one. The possible deletion of the article was not an issue to me; the PROD tagger is supposed to start the AFD if the tag is removed, instead of just reverting it back. In addition, I do not believe from his edits above that he would have participated in an AfD. Therefore, the protections were an overall response to his disruptive editing and threats, not an attempt to gain an advantage in a content dispute in which I was not a participant at the time.

I know. That is why i reverted that edit soon after it happened. JB keeps pretending to be an admin.(Planecrash111 (talk) 01:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC))
 * A long time way back when I was a newcomer here on Wikipedia, JB posted a block notice on my talk page, but he wasn't an admin, so i was really confused that I was blocked instead of him.(Planecrash111 (talk) 02:53, 12 September 2008 (UTC))


 * I agree with you. I was doing a good job at that until he started vandalizing my talk page while I was starting page cleanup. The only reason I did "page cleanup" was to find my messages easier.(Planecrash111 (talk) 03:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC))

 * I glanced over, and it looks like a good block, that isn't the problem. Its just the summary of reverting someone because they're edit warring. The edit stands alone. Especially when you're the blocking admin: otherwise it makes it look like you're in a content dispute with tools, and that causes all sorts of stupid. I'm sure you didn't mean that though.--Tznkai (talk) 15:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikis Take Manhattan
WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and has evolved to include StreetsWiki this year as well.

LAST YEAR'S EVENT


 * Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Spring 2008 (a description of the results, and the uploading party)
 * Commons:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Gallery (our cool gallery)

WINNINGS? Prizes include a dinner for three with Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales at Pure Food & Wine, gift certificates to Bicycle Habitiat and the LimeWire Store, and more!

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:


 * Wikis Take Manhattan page at The Open Planning Project


 * 349 W. 12th St. #3
 * Between Greenwich & Washington Streets
 * By the 14th St./8th Ave. ACE/L stop

FOR UPDATES

This will have a posting if the event is delayed due to weather or other exigency.

Thanks,
 * Pharos

Lil Wayne talk page
How would you feel about taking the unusual step of semi-protecting the talk page of ? It has really degenerated ... no discussion about the article takes place, and most of the edits are either anonymous forum/chat comments or vandalism and named editors reverting them. You indefinitely semiprotected the article nearly a year ago, and now the talk page takes the brunt.Kww (talk) 15:06, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

pp-semi-template needs to be noinclude'ed, I think
I think when you add pp-semi-template to a template such as Google, you need to put it inside the noinclude tags. See for example the usage in Countries of Central Asia. The pp-semi-template does strange things if it gets included. Thanks. --Teratornis (talk) 19:36, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 05:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Matt lee(guitarist)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Matt lee(guitarist), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Matt lee(guitarist) is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Matt lee(guitarist), please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Collectonian again
I have noticed that Collectonian has been bullying and deying consensus in relation to this article, see talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:My_Neighbor_Totoro I am not an admin and don't much have the patience to take this through whatever disputes/arbitration process is recommended in such situations, but I'm getting a bit sick of this sort of tactic. It seems to be bullying and it's a pattern. S/he also ignores consensus (again). I don't know much about the subject matter, but even I can see some of the grounds given for these tags are both wrong and defying consensus (what is the difference between 712 words and 700 that requires a tag? Why not just delete 12 words?). None of it seems constructive, it seems inherently negative, and my guess is that this is similar to some of the dragonball tagging (which I've been fighting where I notice), namely an attempt to build a paper trail to let him nuke the article quickly later via either a merge or AfD. Can someone please talk to this editor?JJJ999 (talk) 07:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind, this appears to be getting resolved.JJJ999 (talk) 09:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Is it just me or does anyone else find it odd that JJJ999 never touched that article before noticing a dispute about the tags, and he then quickly inflamed the entire situation with more of his extremely nasty remarks and lack of bad faith all around. He made it pretty clear, to me at least, that he only did it to further his attacks from the Dragon Ball dispute, and offered nothing to the discussion at all except to falsely claim that consensus is required to tag an article, and making outright outrageous BS claims of "The tags are probably intended viciously, seem to disregard consensus, are inherently negative (the user doesn't care to search for references or improve it themselves), these tags are to deface the article and to create a papertrail for future deletion." I find it disgusting that he is being allowed to make such accusations that I'm "defacing" articles (basically calling me a vandal) and an acting "viciously" or in bad faith. I also find it extremely insulting that he is claiming some future intention to attempt to delete one of the top anime film articles of all time. I am both an active editor in the Anime and Manga project and in the Film project and I'd really appreciate someone putting a lid on his abuse. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 13:07, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Aren't you an admin?
Why on earth would you restore Image:Revan.jpg? It doesn't meet the WP:NFCC requirements for inclusion since it is hardly distinct from the image in the infobox. Rather that blithely reverting my edits to consolidate and diminish in-universe plot summary and non-notable tripe, perhaps you should review WP:WAF, WP:GNG, WP:NFCC. The onus for restoring or retaining information is on the adder/restorer -- yet none of your text reverts did anything to address an absence of citations to third-party sources. --EEMIV (talk) 13:26, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Of course, I'm not as rogue as NawlinWiki is, but I suppose that if I got attack as frequently as he does, I would be somewhat more cynical than I am now. BTW, if you have Huggle, you should get on. There is a freeking lot of vandalism. J.delanoy gabs adds 18:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

One of the advantages of not having many supporters at your RFA is that there are fewer people to thank at the end. Thanks for your support and your willingness to look at my complete record. I'm going to try to interpret this resounding defeat as a statement that I should choose my words more carefully in the future, and remember that every statement I make gets recorded forever, just waiting to get carefully transcribed onto my next RFA. I would go insane if I believed that it was repudiation of what I truly meant: that no editor should consciously and willfully ignore guidelines and policies, and editors that repeatedly do so should not be rewarded for or supported in doing so.

I'm sure I'll get back to full speed editing soon, because, after all,, every day, and in every way, I am getting better and better.&mdash;Kww(talk) 05:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

2000s Name Problem
Well, amazingly enough the editor who created this article has removed the deletion tags.
