User talk:Kingboyk/Archive 9



to your User:Kingboyk/monobook.js, just below the popup script. See Tools/Navigation_popups for an example. Hope that helps! &mdash; Catherine\talk 08:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, I'm sure it will. Thanks ever so much, will try it soon! --kingboyk 08:24, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure -- any time you hover over a link that goes to a disambiguation page (one tagged with a disambig template), you will see a list of potential disambiguation targets at the bottom of the preview box, in green. Click on one of those green links, and the tool will automatically edit the link to point at the correct target, rather than the disambiguation page.  Try hovering over John Taylor, for example (he contains multitudes).   Does that help? &mdash; Catherine\talk 08:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah yes... thank you! Silly me, should have realised it needed to be in preview mode. Trying it here it doesn't work (tries to open "Editing User talk:Kingboyk" rather than "User talk:Kingboyk" but I'll test it in mainspace next time I need to dab before complaining! :) Thanks again for your help, very kind of you. --kingboyk 08:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't mean the "preview" page, I meant the bottom of the popup. On any page, in regular viewing mode or in preview mode, when you hover over any link that goes to a dab page will have an extra section at the bottom of the popup box, full of green article titles, which says "Click to disambiguate this link to: A.J.P. Taylor, Jack Taylor (baseball player), Jock Taylor, John Albert Taylor, John B. Taylor, John Budd Taylor, John Edward Taylor, John G. Taylor, John Henry Taylor, John I. Taylor, John J Taylor, John James Taylor, John Lampkin Taylor, John Mark Taylor, John May Taylor, John P. Taylor..." (in my John Taylor example).  :)   &mdash; Catherine\talk 18:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It works! Woot! :) Thanks again Catherine. --kingboyk 11:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Deleted article?
Hi. Please see my request on Deletion Review to see the contents of Disenfranchised Grief moved to my User or Talk page (whichever is appropriate). I think it may well have been incorrectly deleted (only 1 vote each way) and could well be worthy of an article or at least some work - but I can't tell without seeing it. Thanks in advance. Bastun 23:55, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops. Sorry about putting the above on your User page rather than Talk. Bastun 09:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks - have saved the article off Wikipedia and deleted it from my userpage. I think that properly referenced and verified it has the basis for a decent article.  Am I right in thinking that rather than just recreating the article page, it does need to go to DRV?  Bastun 09:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It goes to DRV if you want to challenge the decision. You're allowed to start a new article but if it's a straightforward recreation, it'll probably be speedy deleted. If it's just similar, expect to have problems too. Maybe you could make a new version in your user space, then at DRV say you want to replace it with that one. --kingboyk 09:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC) P.S. I thought from your request that it was already on DRV. It would seem not. Why don't you make an article in your user space, e.g. at User:Bastun/Sandbox and let me have a look at it? Then we can discuss how to proceed. --kingboyk 09:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought about DRV initially and while I think the deletion decision was erroneous (1 vote to keep, 1 to delete), the article itself is not really up to scratch as it stands, so that'd be a bit pointless. I'll proceed as you suggest.  Cheers. Bastun 09:53, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

No L
Cheers mate, and I didn't even have to ask! Too long for GA status, right, point taken. I will try to consolodate the sources when I get a chance but I'm swamped right now. I already got a peer review but noone commented on it.--Crestville 20:22, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

June 6, 2006
Since it was closed early, I don't know if it was patent nonsense, but please don't close things via WP:SNOW. It's not policy and only angers people, especially when other avenues may be available. Thanks. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 22:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The article was crap, not quite patent nonsense but almost. I was cleaning the category where articles tagged with importance live, and camr across it. Wikipedia gains nothing from it staying. --kingboyk 08:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Beatles Discography | US Singles
Hiya... I'm working on correcting/improving the Discography bit by bit, starting first with the US Singles. I have a mockup in my sandbox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Brian.D/Sandbox). Also, I note that the page for the flip-side of Let It Be, You Know My Name (Look Up My Number), has it as "Up The Number" throughout. I know how to correct the page(s), but not how to rename the incorrect page to the proper title (and, I should imagine I am not permitted to do so!). If you could correct the page name, I'd be most appreciative. -- Brian.D 01:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your comments on my talk page -- I've left a reply for you there. In addition, I've been working on the formatting, etc of the US Singles in my sandbox -- I'd appreciate your comments, suggestions, review, whatever on the proposed change (and, yes, I do plan on making the same changes to the UK Singles section for continuity -- Brian.D 02:21, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

GA nomination
I will try to review some. Lincher 13:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm in the lets-make-this-encyclopedia-better mood so I am working on adding articles in the GA page thus making them once reviewed before they go on to V0.5 ... V1.0. The only thing I cannot do is to fact-check every information even when people have given citations. Lincher 15:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again!

Heads will roll
You're an Admin, right? This user has vandelised my talk page. Can you do something about it please? Go on! Enjoy yourself! Roll his head! Cheers.--Crestville 13:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I've given them a "blatant vandal" warning. We block to prevent damage rather than punish, in particular where an IP address is concerned. As that IP has only ever edited your user page it's probably somebody you've ruffled getting their own back in a cowardly fashion... so, if it happens again and you notice while the vandalism is still fresh, report it at WP:AIV. --kingboyk 14:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Why? What could I have possibly have done aside from all those people I ruffled. Ah well.--Crestville 16:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey look at my user page. I've been hit 25 times or more. You have some ruffling to do yet mate! --kingboyk 16:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Someone's done it again, this time manefested as User:Ozzymike.--Crestville 18:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Blocked indefinitely. --kingboyk 18:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Cheers man. You good admin.--Crestville 18:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Alright mate? Sorry to keep coming to you with these things, but you're the only admin I know who's never tried to block me. I was hoping you could have a looks at this user - User:Feline1. He really is a nasty peice of work (look at some of the stuff on the Revolver (album) talk page and directed at User:Brian G. Wilson. I realise some of my comments towards him could be construed as personal attacks, and while I was antagonised, I understand if I get blocked or whatever, but he needs something doing about his general bad attitude. In fact, it's not even his personal attacks which I find most distasteful. It's his sumgness, the way he reacts to well-intentioned users by insulting them, branding them "morons" for simple mistakes. There is a line common to this in failed musicians. Knock him down a peg would you please?--Crestville 14:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Any feedback? I find it odd that you would be dismissive of a user who is clearly so acidic and difficult to work with. No offence, like. Still, he;s no lumberjack and that ain't cricket.--Crestville 20:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry, missed this. Been busy with articles lately and neglected the talk page. Hmm... well... looks like you 2 are getting along alright now. Dispute resolution really isn't my thing: deleting stuff, blocking obvious vandals, protecting pages, these things I can do. WP:ANI or mediation is a better place to go. I'm not wanting to be unhelpful, it's simply not an area I excel in. --kingboyk 09:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Baudulaire House
I saw you deleted my Baudulaire House part on Template:ASUE. Why? Sir Robert Castellano 18:27, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Because it was a red link, and because you've been adding nonsense. If the link is now blue and the article is sensible by all means readd it to the template. --kingboyk 18:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

library submission
I got your humungous email thanks, don't know when I'll have time to deal with it! your work on the KLF wiki articles has been amazing! cheers Drstuey 10:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Revolver (album)
G'day, Kinhboyk, not that any of my comments were there but was there a reason you deleted a stack of stuff on the Revolver talk page recently? I'm assuming finger trouble... Cheers, Ian Rose 09:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it's happened on one or two pages and I can only assume it's a Mediawiki problem. Evidently the edit box wasn't getting filled with the entire contents of the article, but nonetheless the save button was appearing. I would have thought that if it were a connection issue I wouldn't get the save button as that appears in the HTML after the edit box! As I was tagging a lot of talk pages a few of these errors might have slipped through (I hope not many!). I'll attend to that one now. Cheers. --kingboyk 09:17, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Understand - same thing on Sgt. Peppers, maybe better check the last round of tags. Ian Rose 09:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sigh... have done now, found a few more. Thanks for the headsup. --kingboyk 12:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
