Copyediting?
Hi Pepper. I was wondering if you would look over Moonrise (Warriors) before I submit it to GAN. Thanks,  Bramble  claw  x   21:46, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I've made two small changes, and have two more noticings: the word "questing" is somewhat awkward - maybe a batter word. Also, a LOT of the information is repeated twice, if not three times. This is primarily because the lead is a bit to detailed, so maybe this will be something that you can improve before GAN'ing it. Great work over all, though. You're doing a great job of keeping WP:WARRIORS up and running.  :.:∙:∙∙:∙:.:&#124; pepper &#124; :.:∙:∙∙:∙:.:  00:19, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey there
Hi Pepper, do you think you could review a page I nominated for speedy deletion, it is Ransom Dunn. I put the tag down. SilverSoul91911 (talk) 19:13, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I would say that that page would not be a speedy deletion candidate. Usually, one only tags a page with a speedy deletion template if it meets one of these requirements. If it doesn't meet any of them, or if it seems like the article is a borderline case of meeting the requirement, it would be a batter choice to prod it or take it toArticles for Deletion. Speedy deletion is not the only way for deletion, and is usually only for articles that are of no obvious use to Wikipedia, and nor would they be any use in the future.  :.:∙:∙∙:∙:.:&#124; pepper &#124; :.:∙:∙∙:∙:.:  19:18, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Nice and concise little rewrite there on Finchtown.

Cheers! Bagheera (talk) 01:07, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You would think that if people genuinely wanted to make a Wikipedia article that they would at least try to confirm to the simplest standards. Oh well. Thanks for the note. Its nice to be recognized once and a while! •• pep per  01:11, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Mount Kadam
Hi. I'm puzzled at your severe curtailing of the already short http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kadam. Was this purely on the basis of lack of citation? I'm an infrequent editor, due to time constraints, but I try to contribute where I have experience; I lived in Karamoja for 6 years. Lack of citation is always going to be problem in articles about places and people about whom little has been written. Regards. Apalomita (talk) 12:29, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I can see how this can look a bit weird. I removed "These people are closely related to the Tepeth or So peoples who inhabit the Mountains Napak and Moroto, also in southern Karamoja. Their languages are also closely related. As with the others the language is endangered; those who speak Kadam/So as a first language are middle-aged and elderly, whilst the younger people speak mostly the Pokot or ngaKarimojong of their near neighbours." All of this information really has nothing to do with the mountain itself, nor is it sourced. The information would be better off on a page about the Kadam People, which should go in depth about the language they speak. That is the way I see it. If you feel otherwise, feel free to undo it, as I have no real strong feelings about this, but I thought the info was off topic, and non-encyclopedic as well. Cheers! •• pep per  12:39, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I take your points; though I hesitate to create a stub, I think the information is a useful start for a Kadam People page, and I have dug out a couple of sources, so I will do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apalomita (talk • contribs) 13:09, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Warriors discussion
Hello. Your opinion would be appreciated at Talk:Moonrise (Warriors)  Bramble  claw  x   15:09, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

RE: Deleting stuff
I delete posts on my talk-page, as it makes it easier for me to see what messages are old and new (with minimal uptake needed). Is there some policy that says I shouldn't be removing all posts on my userpage (note that not "questioning" you or anything, I just curious if I may be violating some policy I am not aware of)? I'll probably make a better system of it in the near future, along with cleaning up my user page. Also, I usurped the name back in 2008, I think. Harry (talk) 00:57, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is an policy, but I do know that there is a "recommended note" to administrator candidates: "If you are one of those types that responds to comments on the other person's talk page, STOP. These pages are extremely hard to assess as a reviewer. But they can actually kill your chances. If somebody comes to your page with a criticism/warning, you want others to be able to see your response/side of the story. You don't want them to have to dig for the truth." That is on How to pass an RfA, #10. This is somewhat the same as what you're doing. It's not wrong, it's just it took of a bit of work to look back at stuff on your talk page, as I found it hard to believe that there was nothing on a user's talk page who'd been here since 2008 or before.  " Pepper "   00:14, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm... I'll make an archive each month beginning on April 1st. It does sound better... maybe I am just too used to IRC's on-the-fly conversation method. :) Harry (talk) 00:37, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, perhaps you are right, though it was damn hard to make heads or tails of it. Wildthing61476 (talk) 20:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Whoops, sorry about that, I was never informed before, sorry, I will do that in the future, to avoid problems. --Sonez1113 (talk) 22:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the great advice, I will follow it in the future. --Sonez1113 (talk) 22:55, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. Just another quick thing I noticed on you userpage - internal Wikipedia links can be put in square brackets, so in your case Wykypydya ( Wykypydya ) would become Wykypydya ( Wykypydya ). " Pepper "   22:58, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for Help
Suggestion to improve the help page for user sub-page creation: replace the word "Example" in the examples with "UserName". When I looked at the page, I thought that "User" was supposed to be replaced by my user-name, and "Example" was the title of a page.

If the example read: "User:UserName/TestPage", it might be a little clearer. RandySteer (talk) 23:08, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I like Ottawa, and I hope to write as much as possible about it in the Russian Wikipedia, not just by translating articles but to creating my own as well. --Dmitri Lytov (talk) 21:28, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Sandbox Change
Thanks! I think I manage to correct it. Taylanacar (talk) 00:05, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks good, just don't forget to change the link on your user page because it is linking to the one you want deleted. Good job remembering to sign your post :) Cheers,  " Pepper "   00:06, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I am at a training with a town rep right now. So its was easy. Thanks again. Taylanacar (talk) 00:13, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "town rep"? A user who represents your town on Wikipedia?  " Pepper "   00:15, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I think so. My professor is running a Wikipedia project within our class. Actually he wants to spread the project to the all sociologists around the country, and the globe as well. United States Education Program/Courses/Theories of the State (Erik Olin Wright) This is the Wikipedia link of our project. So, he wants to start with us. And us to write Wikipedia articles about our projects. We are sociologists by the way.

Speedy deletion nomination of Wiki Homework


A tag has been placed on Wiki Homework, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Copied from other wikipedia page

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. aηsuмaη  ༽Ϟ  20:00, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't create that page, I moved it out of article space, and I am the one who tagged it as so I'm not sure why you have put this message here...  " Pepper  "   20:04, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I know you din't create, and I haven't put this message here. While I was tagging you tagged this page, maybe thats why It came to you. lol no idea. Sorry.- aηsuмaη  ༽Ϟ  20:11, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. It seemed weird that Twinkle would notify the creator without tagging the actual page. Cheers!  " Pepper "   20:13, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
