User talk:Imnotminkus

hi!

Welcome!
Hello Imnotminkus, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * Read the tutorial and learn how to edit a page.
 * Experiment in the sandbox.
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Try to edit from a neutral point of view.
 * Use talk pages to communicate with other editors.
 * Be bold in updating pages.
 * Eventually, read the Manual of Style and learn about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
 * And most importantly, have fun!

If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page.

I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — Bcat

You have an eye for detail : )

Your VandalProof Application
Dear Imnotminkus,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.

Your revert to Wikipedia:Introduction
Why did you revert that back to when the page said "WIKIPEDIA IS NOT RELIABLE ..."? Just wondering.

 * It seems I reverted only one edit when there were three edits that should've been reverted, or I probably could've just cleared the test section and replaced the "please leave this line alone" comment. Thanks for pointing it out.  Minkus 22:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

vandalized userpage
yea, so i vandalized your page so you need to update the number to 8 and the dude who reverted didnt, thanks minkus —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.128.139.226 (talk • contribs).

Hail Caesar!
Don't worry, happens all the time. I was going to tell you earlier about the mistake (as me reverting your edits might look suspicious), but glad you figured it out, just the same. Vandals beware! :) Kakofonous (talk) 03:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Awesome, thanks for watching my back. Guess I should probably be a bit more mentally awake when clicking buttons :D  And happy vandal-fighting to you too!  - Minkus (talk) 03:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but I'm more of a fan of Italian food. Also, unfortunately, my family has no dog.  Again, sorry for the terrible, scarring disappointment I imagine the acquiring of this knowledge has caused you. -Minkus (talk)


 * I'm Italian. You can eat my shit and we both win. 68.0.119.139 (talk) 04:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but I don't think it works that way. - Minkus (talk) 04:28, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

An invitation to join WikiProject Ohio
 Hi, you are listed under Category:Wikipedians in Ohio or one of its subcategories. WikiProject Ohio has been slowing down and we're looking for active Ohioans to turn that around! But first, let us introduce ourselves; we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ohio and we're sure there's somewhere you'll fit in just fine. The project's departments include article quality assessment: We have over 5,000 articles to assess for class alone, newsletter writing: This has been delayed by a few months, and new page patrolling: Which has also been slowing down. We also have a newly formed taskforce on our over 1,000 townships at WP:OHTWP.

We have 132 members, many of which are not active within the project. If you are listed there and still received this message please accept the auotmated porcess's apologies. If you are interested in joining us please list you name here. If you're not interested please note this is a one time invite and you will never hear from us again.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave a message at our talkpage or with any member of the project, we'll be happy to answer any of your questions. We look forward to seeing you around!

Huggle / Osney Bridge
Hi there, I noticed that you reverted this edit as vandalism using Huggle this morning. I'm not sure how you concluded it was vandalism; as you can see it was actually an anon doing rather a nice job of cleaning up the references and putting them in to citation templates. I've used Huggle in the past and know how fast and furious it can get but may be if you could just slow down a tad and perhaps see past the "IP" you wouldn't get false positives. It's better that a bit of vandalism is live for 10 extra seconds than a potentially productive contributor gets scared off the project. Kind regards, Nancy  talk  17:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Whoops, sorry about that, and thanks for catching it. That was actually the first time I used Huggle and I was still trying to learn how to use it and what all the shortcut keys are and everything.  I'll try to be more careful about that in the future.  - Minkus (talk) 18:43, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ''I had reverted the vandalism, your edit put it back and now I've reverted again. Thanks! '' LazyLizaJane (talk) 20:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching that...seems Huggle didn't catch your reversion or you were too quick for it. (replied on your user page too). --Minkus (talk) 20:53, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, yo
For this. Another attempt at giving the Internet-using population more than four seconds to get the impression that I have revealed a secret about myself on my user page has been foiled! Cheers. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 14:56, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

If repeated vandalism occurs again, leave a message at WP:AIV and an administrator will consider a block (I don't have the authority to block IPs).  Thanks for lookin' out :)  --Minkus (talk) 08:06, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for removing my block
I think a vandal was offended by my reversion of his contributions, so he "blocked" me indefinitely. Thank you for undoing that (diff). Good thing blocks don't work exactly that way. –Newportm (talk • contribs) 14:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You're quite welcome! It would've been especially terrible if they did work that way, since the IP not only indef blocked you, but did it 10 times.  Meaning you would've been blocked 10 times forever.  Tragic.  --Minkus (talk) 17:52, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert and sorry for the trouble
Thanks for the fast revert on my talk page and I apologize about the revert error on Jo Stanley it looks like huggle was lagging and I didn't realize it had already updated to you. Jamesofur (talk) 07:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You're quite welcome, and no worries, happens to me all the time! I see you've only been using Huggle for a few days...after a while, when more and more users are added to your whitelist, Huggle will warn you when reverting an edit by a whitelisted editor, so such things happen less often.  Happy vandal fighting!  - Minkus (talk) 07:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Sarvangasana External Link Removed
Hello Minkus,

I write regarding the Shoulderstand link removed from the subject entry. Could you please give me a little more details why you deemed it inappropriate? I think the article in the link is an unbiased source of information on the topic, that is not of a commercial nature.

I've seen a lot of unreliable web pages being linked on Yoga articles in Wikipedia, sites that present erroneous or, at best, superficial information. The magazine where my link appears has been in publication for over 30 years, and it offers a perspective on Yoga that is very different from the majority of the relatively new publications talking about this subject.

I would greatly appreciate if you also advise how I can avoid having my links labeled as spam in the future. I am sincere in my wish to make good information on Yoga and Meditation available to the public, as I'm troubled by the widespread misconceptions and ignorance on this topic.

With kind regards,

Pedro (yogboy)

Alert
Hello Minkus,

I have created a WP Prominent Rajus to mention famous people in Rajus an Indian community. I had used that convention to specify only famous Rajus of Rajus community. I have taken other encyclopedia as reference: http://www.statemaster.com/encyclopedia/Prominent-Rajus

http://en.allexperts.com/e/p/pr/prominent_rajus.htm

But this user C21K(talk) is consistently moving the WP Prominent Rajus to List of Rajus though I have given the strong reason of using such convention.

But as Prominent Rajus is the keyword more often used to search. I suggest it to be like that.

Request you to involve in this issue n resolve it. Also request you to see the previous record of C21K(talk). Let me know If I hav followed wrong naming convention in this matter.

Thanks Indianprithvi (talk) 17:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Explain to me how exactly my edit to Begging was vandalism
I cited a reputable source and the statement is 100% true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.204.153 (talk) 02:07, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I never said it wasn't a reputable source, just that it wasn't constructive. The sentence added didn't match with the style of the surrounding text, and nowhere in the article are specific examples given.  Minkus (talk) 02:19, 14 December 2009 (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.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 16:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Ohio Wikimedians User Group - Invitation
Hi Imnotminkus,

I'm Kevin, one of the founding members of the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Created in July 2016, we're working to be a central group of Ohio Wikimedians who organize and support offline events, promote the Wikimedia movement in Ohio, build connections throughout our state, and above all, support each other. We already have a handful of members and have worked to support multiple events, including Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States and several Art+Feminism edit-a-thons at universities throughout Ohio.

I wanted to reach out to you and invite you to join the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Being a part of the user group will allow easy communication between active Ohio editors, notifications of upcoming events in the Ohio area, and, if you're interested, the opportunity to help organize events such as edit-a-thons or workshops. Some notes:
 * All members receive a monthly newsletter with recent happenings, upcoming events, and more. Check out our April newsletter here.
 * This Thursday at 8:30 EST, we're having our first online meeting. Check out our meeting page here for more details, an agenda, and a section to sign up if you'd like to join us. Topics will include introductions and brainstorming for future projects.

Right now we have a Wikipedia Takes Columbus photo event going on, a Wiknic coming up this summer, and opportunities to attend the upcoming Ohio Private Academic Libraries Conference. If you're interested in joining us, feel free to add your name here - and feel free to reach out to me (or post on the user group's talk page) with questions or discussions. Thanks! ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 07:33, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
