Hi, Jipinghe, I have blanked the Wüzburger Hofbräu article, because the title was spelled wrong, my fault. The article now contains a link to the the new article, Würzburger Hofbräu. - BruceWHain (talk) 07:00, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Re:Your new article Music of Nier
Hi, thanks for the kind message, but a tip for the future: if you're going to leave template messages on someone's talk page encouraging to stick around WP, first make sure that they're actually new and haven't been around since 2006. :) -- Pres N  20:59, 15 July 2011 (UTC)


 * That's a good point :P Jipinghe (talk) 21:17, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'm willing to help out. The message didn't seem patronizing, but since I've been here a while, to me it was a) obviously a template/stock message that you'd tweaked some (the Chris Taylor bit) and b) mis-targeted towards a new user, which I wasn't. I imagine it would have been much more effective with a new user, kind of a "hey, someone noticed and appreciated what you did". To make it less impersonal, I'd change the wording a bit- no random passerby would really say "Dear PresN", they'd just say "hey" or "hi"- "Dear" is for formal letters, and I know my own username :). The short, choppy sentences also felt very formal; I noticed those even more than the fact that they could have applied to any article at all. It's a good idea though; WP is pretty bad about making new users feel welcome and appreciated, so every bit helps. -- Pres N  21:06, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Done, check your inbox. -- Pres N  19:14, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I've been a bit busy. Just sent you a big response. -- Pres N  22:05, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: Looking for your help :D
I'd love to help, but my next few weeks are VERY crazy (dissertation defense, family issues). Could we meet in August to discuss those issues? (If it is very urgent I could try to squeeze a lunch on Thursday). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk 02:40, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, I can try to help out via email, but for the next few weeks, it may take me days to reply. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk 02:40, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

A brownie for you!
hi, I think they are the same. :P the only point i wanted to make is that the article already had some wikilinks (or "internal links") and I added a few more :) thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Severusdd (talk • contribs) 18:15, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop at CMU (Aug 15)
Since you are one of the editors in the Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Carnegie Mellon University, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk 20:14, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Re: Arthrobotrys
Hey, I was just wondering which Wikilinks you were referring to when you said some were broken on the Arthrobotrys page. I'll fix it up as soon as I can :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leonard glas (talk • contribs) 08:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Re: AL-Hiwar
Thank you for your kind message. I did some improving to the Al-Hiwar article. I'll try to improve the Iraqi article as I go along. Have a nice day and best regards! --Tachfin (talk) 18:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi to you to! =)
Hi, thanks! It was my first time creating an article. I hope it looks fine XD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolphin122344 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Germania
Hi, yes I already looked at that article and I think I made some changes which were improvements. Will look again eventually.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 20:11, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for your encouragement-I have been doing this for about a week and am trying to learn the ropes.

I will try to list the references I used for the Tholen article. I will also look at the Jacob Maris article to see if I can improve it. THere are also 8 more links on the Hague School page to artists fro whom a page does not exist. I will try to do something about those.

Again, thanks for your encouragement. Dkiel (talk) 12:41, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: Periyar Bridge
Thanks a lot! :) What do you feel about the article? Is it good enough for Wikipedia? Hope there aren't any issues with the article- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 04:00, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: Certified Securities Investment Advisor
I guess you're referring to Certified Derivatives Investment Advisors. It's not an "error". It's an an article that should exist but doesn't yet. See WP:REDLINK. Eric Baer (talk) 05:25, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

RE: Hello
Thanks for bringing the issue to my attention. I've put two headings there now, below the lead section. I think they're alright. Feel free to provide your own input. Happy editing. --Merovingian (T, C, L) 19:07, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Jester IV Unit
Hi! Usually I try to put sections and headings in when the article expands. As of right now Jester IV Unit is a small article, so usually I do not put sections and headings until certain aspects become more well developed - Thanks for the tip on Jester - I went through and wikified some things WhisperToMe (talk) 01:55, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I am not an expert on guildhalls and I am not sure precisely what you would like me to do with that article. James500 (talk) 06:08, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Re: Hello
Hi Jipinghe, thanks for your appreciation on article Alessandro Gentile. Sharing never ends for me :) Have a nice day. Tamburello (talk) 11:20, 1 October 2011 (UTC) Hi Jipinghe, thanks for you words. Actually I'm not from Bosnia, just translated the entry from Catalan, but I will try to improve it, by the way. Wikilove--Kippelboy (talk) 07:50, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jipinghe, could you explain what you mean with "the article seems to contain a few errors: some of the article's Wikilinks are broken"? Broken?? Kraxler (talk) 13:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Jipinghe, while I appreciate your message, and what you seem to be trying to do with new page patrol in general, but I have some reservations. While it is true that John Wallop, Viscount Lymington lacks section headings, it is four (meager) paragraphs long. There simply isn't enough content to support a good subdivision at present. And you advised me to wikify Earl of Portsmouth, an article which not only doesn't need wikification, but has never, as far as I can tell, needed wikification. While I think your project of reaching out to users about the new articles they're creating is a wonderful one, I have to say that if I were a new user, I would be rather confused by your suggestions. Choess (talk) 02:39, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

John Hess
There are plenty of external references on that page for John Hess (journalist) for the information given. I can show you plenty of pages that do not have any external references - worry about those first.

If you bothered to read those references you might be more in the picture. Are you from England? DinosaursLoveExistence (talk) 09:32, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Re: Hello
Hello Jipinghe, thanks for visiting my recently created article, and yes, I'm aware that most of the links are broken, we will try to update and create new articles when more information is available. Cheers.--Ciclonkaiser (talk) 23:27, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

WFTDA Championships
Thanks for your note, but as I noted in the initial edit summary, those details were split from the Women's Flat Track Derby Association article, and are not my work. Do feel free to fix the references if it is important to you. Warofdreams talk 18:23, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Well thank you. Do you think I should do the same to a few other pages? --Left4Deadseries FAN (talk) 18:31, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Re: Alfredo Vázquez Carrizosa
I'll fill it out a bit when I find the time and learn some more. (I was hoping, after coming across a few admiring references from Noam Chomsky, to achieve the latter by visiting Wikipedia. Mr Carrizosa's article appears only in Spanish, however, so I translated that and presented the English entry as a stub.) Best, Crusoe (talk) 13:57, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your good will message on my talkpage, its nice to see other people are appreciating my edits/work on wikipedia. Ill take the references thing into account and also, if you wish to see any other articles i have created dont hestitate to visit my userpage and scroll down and they should be a list there. Some of them i am paticulary proud of. Thanks :) User:Goldblooded (Return Fire) 14:37, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Re:Passpo
Thanks. Regarding the HKT48 article, all it needs is expansion - a lot of it:) But since my understanding of Japanese is very limited I don't think there's much I can add, but I'll see what I can do. Happy editing.--Cattus talk 19:11, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Got your message - you've triggered my curiousity - what made you look at the article? Is it just 'cause its a new page or you have an interest in the subject? Dan arndt (talk) 03:15, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Dear Jipinghe,

thank you for your favourable message. Speaking about Aleksey Baburin article - did you mean more references should be added? Orekhova (talk) 08:34, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

uploading images
it's complicated. as i noted on my talk: User_talk:Slowking4, there are lots of head shots of those scholars on the web, but none with a clear free use license. this will get you a quick deletion. it's an ongoing problem. you can either take your own photo and upload it, or talk to UCSD and Harvard. explaining the wikipedia disdain for Noncommercial; no derivative restrictions (why we need a photo without them) can be difficult.

Your comment on my article
Thank you for your kind words about my article All-Time Greatest Hits (Ray Stevens album). As a fan of Ray Stevens, I'm doing everything I can to provide as much information as possible on every album and compilation of his music, particularly old LPs that are out of print. I do want to be honest with you about references; I buy copies of all his albums, so all the "references" that I use are the albums themselves. If you can help me out in finding suitable references, I'd appreciate that. Jpete (talk) 18:40, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
