Ridiculously late
Hi Intelati :) This is a note to communicate my ridiculously late thanks for your voting in my RfA :) Astoundingly, and to the shock of everybody, the RfA passed :):) See you around. Sincerely.  Wifione    .......  Leave a message  15:50, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

References section
Hi there

Should I edit the reference section format? Right now, it seems like it is a continuous string even though the word document is properly formatted.

thanks

Pending_changes/Straw_poll_on_interim_usage
Just making sure you know, option two is to turn it off on the articles, rather than remove the extension from the Wiki, and then in November (when v.2 is released) we'll have a discussion (hopefully) about using it again, in another trial. Turning the extension off isn't going to happen, since the developers have said it could cause problems. Cheers, - Kingpin13 (talk) 19:02, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for clarifying :). Best, - Kingpin13 (talk) 20:03, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello Intelati. Thank you for the cookies!

i have an immediate question concerning the article i created. first, the photo link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tess_Broussard_2010.jpg) had a copyright problem which i believe i have corrected. unfortunately, no one has gotten back to me and it is due to be deleted tomorrow. Second, the article i created Tess_Broussard is still marked as unreviewed. i've asked for a review but have gotten no reply. any thoughts.

thank you!!!!!!

Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:36, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

It is very hard to stay away, If you would not mind starting the mentoring now. I will not make any non talkpage edits until you respond. Thanks, -- Inka 888 01:38, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

CSD G1
I noticed that on Inka 888's talk you mentioned that G1 (patent nonsense) is only used for articles which read like this:

ertbjw4e67nbiqw4i iaer ga7ertn8 w4tn7w45 8gwn96r7nbew9m w436

That might be the simplest way to explain it to Inka right now, but you might eventually want to point out that G1 also applies to random derailing sequences of words, incoherent babble, and articles with text that is in English but has little meaning and has no possibility of being made into a genuine article - for example, something like this:

I live in McDonalds and burgers are yummy. I like people. Give me yummy food.

Of course, now isn't the best time to bring this up, but just a suggestion for later. Access Denied [FATAL ERROR]  03:52, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Adopt-a-user reminder
Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:


 * If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list.
 * If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you.


 * You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter here.

PC poll
Hi. Whilst I disagree with your reintroduction of the comment in section 3, I have no intention of edit warring about it. I would, however, be grateful if you would glance at User talk:Begoon to see a clearer view of my reasoning. The only thing that isn't mentioned there is the comment in your edit summary. The only reaction I really have to that is - it certainly doesn't look like a suggestion, bolded at the top of the discussion. I would say it is almost certain to look to most commenters like an instruction. If you do read the discussion at my talk page, of particular interest might be that it seems to contradict Jimbo's stated position that he has no objection to the section, and values comments in it. In any event, you are obviously free to take as much or as little notice as you like of my opinion. I've asked Ronk's permission to move that discussion to the talk page so it can get wider comment. Thanks for any time you spend considering this  Begoon &#149; talk  14:09, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks from RCT3Critic13
How nice of you! I have created some articles, but have not updated them for a while, and am currently working on the Roller Coaster Tycoon Three article as it needs lots of expansion. I actually expanded on it a long time ago but the original creator got upset and changed it back to his creation. I do play the game and have expierience but I have trouble with referances and hard details. Another thing, is it possible to change a user name, mine is RCt3Critic13 but it should have a capital T. I also used to be a LEGO fan but I no longer am as big of one as I used to be.

Ooops... sorry. Poor wording...
Hiya, I was just digging through some old AN/Is and noticed your "I resent that" joke here. It was in relation to this statement I made (I think): " or ask intelati (or someone else more experienced) to help or offer advice."

My sincere apologies. My implication (and thus how the statement probably should have been worded for clarity) was: " or ask intelati (or someone else more experienced than Inka 888) to help or offer advice."

Very sorry about that... and congratulations to you both for the amazing amounts of progress!!!! Rob R OBERT M FROM LI  TALK/CNTRB 01:05, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Brahman
considering oneself Brahman (Supreme Godhead, Krishna) is spiritual suicide. To avoid:

‘chaitanya-mangala’ shune yadi pashandi, yavana

seha maha-vaishnava haya tatakshana

If even a great atheist hears Shri Chaitanya-mangala (previous name for Shri Chaitanya-bhagavata), he immediately becomes a great devotee. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.132.108.252 (talk) 15:52, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Albert Pujols
I tried editing the page just to change the wording of something ("so doing" to "doing so" in the Accomplishments section), however, a large chunk the beginning of the section (and the article, when I tried editing the entire page, as you saw) got removed. I didn't notice this problem until after I edited the page. I don't know if it's my browser or not; I checked editing another page, but no chunks got removed when I tried to edit it (I'll double-check on that though). Sorry for that inconvenience. --GVOLTT How's my editing?\My contribs 05:37, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Seems to be happening for every article; it might be my browser.--GVOLTT How's my editing?\My contribs 05:39, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I basically use Firefox (with Opera as backup), but I've been using Opera quite a bit more than usual lately, and that's what I made the edit with. It might be because of some userscripts/the Adblock urlfilter I started using today with it (because I was trying to wean myself off of Firefox and wanted as much functionality as I was using in it in Opera, though that kind of defeats the purpose of trying to make it my main in the first place, now that I think about it).  I have been considering starting to use Google Chrome (especially because of its tab isolation feature), but I haven't gotten around to it yet. --GVOLTT How's my editing?\My contribs 05:53, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Request an account, Request(?)
I wish to work with the request account process. Thanks.-- Talk tome (Intelati) 07:12, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for applying to access the account creation tool. I have approved your request so welcome to the team. You may now access the tool here. Before you do so, please read the tool's guide thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the process.


 * You may also want to join #wikipedia-en-accounts on IRC where a bot informs us when new account requests come in and to get any advice on requests as well as the mailing list. Please note that we have implemented a policy of zero tolerance on mishandled requests, and that failure to assess correctly will result in suspension. I would like to emphasize that it is not a race to complete a request, and each one should be handled diligently and thoroughly.


 * Currently you are allowed to create up to six accounts per day, although you won't be able to create an account with a similar name to that of another user; these requests are marked "Account Creator Needed" by the bot and "Flagged user needed" in the tool. However, if you reach the limit frequently, you can request the account creator permission at WP:PERM.


 * Please keep in mind that the ACC tool is a powerful program, and misuse will result in your access being suspended by a tool administrator. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Again welcome! --Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 07:16, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
