User talk:Riotrocket8676/Archive 1

Welcome!
 Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can [ watchlist it] if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WPMILHIST Announcements there.
 * Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, article logistics, and other tasks.
 * We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
 * We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
 * If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts and copy-editing alerts.
 * The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill (prof) 21:48, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Kirill!

Rollback
I am sorry but we can't grant rollback yet. You don't have any history of reverting vandalism for us to see how you would use the tool. Please try the undo function and leave a descriptive edit summary describing the reason for the revert. This does not mean that you can not apply for rollback at some later date when you have a history of fighting vandalism and show a need for the tool. —Sandahl 16:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Your rollback request
Hi! I regret that I must inform you that your request for the rollback permission has been denied. You can discover why by checking the archives at Requests for permissions/Denied/December 2008. SoxBot X (talk) 18:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Adoption
I would like to offer you the chance of be adopted by me. I am a member of WPMILHIST and could teach you a lot about wikipedia. Put you reply on my talk page. Hope to hear from you soon, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 22:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I have adopted you officially. Here is your adoption program page. Add it to you watch list so you will be aware of any new tasks i set you. Anything to do with adoption will now be talked about on that page. Its nice to meet you and i hope you are going to stay here. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 11:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

WP:SLR
Hi and thanks for your interest in the project. Can you please post something on our applications section so that we welcome you as an official member. Thanks Watchdogb (talk) 15:17, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's looking good; three people supported your application so far. We always give it at least 48 hours before it is officially accepted. Can I make one request? I feel that building up trust is essential in this area, and an easy way to build up trust is by writing honest edit summaries. Because I often forget this myself, I use the helpful setting "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". The only annoying thing is that it also expects a summary for talk pages, where it is often unnecessary. In those cases, I just enter a space to avoid the message. &mdash; Sebastian 20:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation!

Are you really busy?
I was just wondering where you have been. Your article hasn't been improved much recently. Drop me a comment when you get this to tell me if your really busy or how your getting on. Are you really busy at school? Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 22:05, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Hometowned
This article is up for deletion. You need to strongly improve it and use strong references and add more detail, or it will be deleted. If it is deleted admins won't take kindly to it being recreated, and could delete it straight away. Just though I should warn you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 13:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. I already agreed to have it soft redirect to Hometowned on the wikitionary. there's basically nothing on it out there (internet) and I only had a couple of sentences. Riotrocket8676  You gotta problem with that? 15:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Achievement
Congratulations, you've received an attack page of your very own, Riotrocket8676, deleted now. While this may seem like a bad thing, be aware, it is assuredly a positive thing, if they're attacking you, it means you're doing something right. I'll try and whip you up a relevant barnstar in the morning if I get time, but for now, congratulations again.--<font color="Blue">Jac <font color="Green">16888 Talk 02:10, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I would like to thank you for reverting the edits made on the Roblox article. It is annoying to have your work vandalized. Thanks a lot for fixing that!--Gordonrox24 (talk) 00:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I've fulfilled your request for rollback. Please check out WP:RBK or ask me if you need any help. Pedro : Chat  07:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

CSD G1
Hi! I noticed you've tagged a few pages for speedy deletion, using G1 as the criteria. G1 states that the tag is only used for patent nonsense, incomprehensible strings of characters with no discernible meaning. You probably know this, but if the page can be understood by a speaker, even it is vandalism, it should be tagged with another tag. I just wanted to let you know in case it causes issues for you later. Keep up the good work! &raquo; \ / (⁂) 20:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * There is no 'universal' speedy deletion tag per se, try to find one that meets the criteria. An attack page should be A10, whereas A1 is for very short, unmeaningful articles; 'John has a red car'. Others, well, A7, G11 and G3 are the most common, but keep a look out for other types that will require 'special' attention. G12, etc. Hope this helps. &raquo; \ / (⁂) 21:02, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

G3 > G7?
Hi, I noticed that you changed the tag on State of Korea from WP:G3, vandalism, to WP:G7, page blanked by author. However, if you check the history, you will see that it was not blanked by the author, but by another editor due to its content, hence the tag 'This page has been blanked as a courtesy' on the article space. It still falls under G3, and not G7, because it was not blanked by the page creator. -Zeus-u<sub style='position: relative; left: -.6em;'>c 21:53, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. Thought G7 was a better fit, but I guess I was wrong. Sorry! Riotrocket8676   You gotta problem with that? 21:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. It would have been if the author had blanked it, but since he didn't, that csd was invalid. -Zeus-u<sub style='position: relative; left: -.6em;'>c 21:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Lehigh Valley Health Network Marathon for Via
Just a friendly note on Lehigh Valley Health Network Marathon for Via. I declined the speedy because there was plenty of context -- I know nothing about it, and was easily able to tell it's a running event. Also, some editors think that speedying an article like this one minute after creation falls afoul of WP:BITE. HTH!-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:24, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

CSD Tagging
Hello. You just tagged Zach sorrentino as WP:G1, or patent nonsense. While the page should be deleted under a CSD criteria, patent nonsense only applies to pages that are incomprehensible. I have therefore replaced the speedy on that page with a more appropriate one. Just wanted to let you know; G1s are very specific and Zach sorrentino does not qualify. Thanks.

Didn't mean to step on your toes as I tried to revert that IP user. I noticed you had reverted the same user and I think I inadvertently reverted one of your fixes. I think I fixed my error, but I wanted to let you know I didn't mean to undo your work. Cheers! <font face="Bauhaus 93" color="blue" size="4">Geoff TC 02:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I haven't been online in a while
Sorry, my internet has been for a while but it has now been fixed. Its good to see you have been coming on in leaps and bounds. I see that you have been making some improvements to John F. Mulholland Jr, which is good to see. Am I right in understanding that you now wish to fight vandalism, rather than creating and improving articles? It would be nice for me to know, so that I can concentrate my efforts on your more favourable area. Don't forget that you can come to me with any questions you have, and I will get you the answer even if it means slaving away through the deepest parts of wikipedia. <font color="#7A60F8">Gaia Octavia Agrippa <font color="#C560F8">Talk | <font color="#6093F8">Sign 14:10, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dude,

I'm trying to include this article to the Wiki, but no matter what I insert on it, you keep marking it to delete. I have no idea what I´m doing wrong, so could you help me to create it on a apropriate way?

Hello. When you patrol new pages, acceptable articles or articles which have been tagged for deletion should be marked as "patrolled" using the link at the bottom right of the article. This saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page so that they do not duplicate efforts. Skomorokh 03:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Matinée
Just a friendly note on Matinée (EP). I declined your no context speedy request -- there's quite a bit of consensus that if you have enough information in the title and/or infobox to tell what the article is about, then there's context. Best on those to create an introduction from the information given and apply whatever maint tags it needs. HTH-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:44, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Lead up to the Iraq War
Hi. The reason this article is being created is to summarize the current section 1 of the article Iraq War. The information seems tangential and the article is currently too long. Thanks, --Nosfartu (talk) 00:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries, the same was just done with one of the other sections, so the new articles will of course need some work. If an AfD discussion is part of the process, that is fine.--Nosfartu (talk) 00:38, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
