thanks and request
Could you start a page for the US National Gymnastics Championships? We have one for the NCAA gym championships and even for the American Cup (which is a more minor meet) but not one for Nationals. I can build the content and all, just need a title page put up. But as an IP, I can't technically start the page. Procedure is I ask a non-IP user to start it. See here: Category:Gymnastics competitions72.82.33.250 (talk) 00:54, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

editing question: searching revisions
We lost a whole section of the Shawn Johnson biography: her 2008 competitive season. All it has now for 2008 is the Olys. But she had a whole season's worth of meets (similar to 2007): Nationals and several other big International meets. I know that stuff was there a long while ago. I guess I can try to search where it left, must have been deleted in error. If I have to, I can make it all from scratch, but there will be a lot of content with footnotes and such. Any FAST WAY to find that in the revision history? Note, this isn't stuff like all her television appearances or the like (which spinach I can understand pruning). It seems like stuff that must have got clipped in error. I'm actually not interested in making you look for that content per se, but just to know if there is a "trick" for searching revisions if I have this problem in the future. 72.82.33.250 (talk) 01:22, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

fancy cites
Do you know how to use those fancy cite templates for references? Like how do you actually get them to appear? I guess I will read about it and try to figure it out. Is there a button like the reference button? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.33.250 (talk) 05:29, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Template:Cite web-- intelati  talk 06:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm still baffled, how you mechanically put it in the page 1. Is there a button (like with the ref thingie) or do I need to type out the template in the double squiglies? 2. Will it give me the fields and all? Then add the data? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.33.250 (talk) 06:36, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If you create an account there is a JavaScript that automates the functions, like the ref. But by hand though, you can use the code. cite web-- intelati  talk 07:34, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I know I'm coming across as slow, but I feel like I am caught in a catch 22. When I just type in the word, inside double brackets...that seems like all I get. Shouldn't it pop open and give me fields and stuff? P.s. Even as an IP, I get the ref thing as a clickable button on the screen. Little book looking icon. Love that! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.248.6.169 (talk) 20:13, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Look inside the template page and use the cite web.
 * And yes the book thing is handy for quick references. If you get an account, you can get a ref toolbar that automates the citeweb proccess.-- intelati  talk 21:06, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm already perma-banned
Just read your stuff on adoption. Good page. So...

1. I am already permabanned from a year or two ago. The reason was repeated incivility. (I could debate the very last banning as I was joking around with another editor, but there was a very long pattern of incivility and I felt like I had gotten plenty of second chances, so it was kinda karmically correct...plus it's pretty hard to debate the behavior....plus I always hated whining about punishment...rather just take it.)

2. I've been pretty much off the project since the permaban. I think completely off for many months. Got back and did a few (constructive) editing days a couple months ago. Had to get people to create new pages and all that bother.

3. My pattern was never really blatant vandalism. More trolling and joking and then incivility (as an element of the trolling). Usually pretty decent editing along the way. (And I'm not justifying the behavior...I understand that getting some edits in does not earn the right to troll...I'm just explaining the flavor of the sins for whatever it's worth.

4. Can I be adopted by you? A. First thing is would need some help figuring out how to get reinstated, or a new life. I don't understand how to do that. But since part of your adoption service is you say you know how to figure stuff out, that would be the first "need". B. Since you hate incivility, maybe you would not want me! However, we could flip that around and then say, me being an involuntary adoptee or whatever, would be a part of my parole to rehabilitate me, and since you are so anti-hitting, then that would make you a stern parole-master. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.33.250 (talk) 09:11, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

 * It is a bad thing. The heart of the matter is that that's a self-professed banned user. Since you apparently have the previous username, could you tell me if it really is banned or just blocked indefinitely? S/he could be blocked for block evasion either way.  Goodvac   ( talk ) 20:37, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It indeed is; editing by proxy for a banned user is against the rules. Moreover, -if this is a banned user-, it will require community consensus to overturn; it is not something any-one-person can do.—  Dæ  dαlus Contribs 21:56, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Windows Phone 7 assistance
Hello Intelati. You might remember me. I spent a lot of time editing the Windows Phone 7 article over the summer. Well since the phone's launch, it's gotten more and more attention, and the quality of the page has really taken a dive. There is one user stirring up a lot of trouble. Anyways, if it's no trouble for you, it'd mean a lot to me if you could help maintaining the article until things cool down a bit. There are a lot of good editors working very hard on it, but things are very difficult right now. I personally don't have enough experience on Wikipedia to know how to handle some situations like this, so your assistance would be greatly appreaciated.

Congratulations to, who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by , with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to, who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, , who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Added template for SuggestBot
Hi,

Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.

We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.

We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 22:23, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to (first, with 487 points) and  (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.

Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.

Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews.

Hi, Intelati. Are you aware that Inka 888 has applied at RfA? Axl ¤  [Talk]  10:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * And your point of bringing this to intelati's talk page is...? I n k a <sup style="color:black;">888  10:58, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Mentors (and former mentors) often have the best understanding of an editor's judgement, especially any improvement over time. I am somewhat surprised that Intelati had not commented in Inka 888's RfA. Indeed it is often the case that an RfA candidate's mentor provides the nomination. This helps to validate the candidate's application.


 * Many RfA candidates who have mentors (or former mentors) consult the mentor prior to the RfA: both to receive approval from the mentor, and to co-ordinate a winning nomination statement from the mentor. Axl  ¤  [Talk]  09:25, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is with 231 points, who leads Pool H.  (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see WikiCup/Scoring.

A running total of claims can be seen here.

WikiCup 2011 April newsletter
Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. , who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.

This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to and  who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!

Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!
