Don't forget to subst: templates!
Hi,

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:test&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Thanks! :)

 * Apologies for that revert - RC patrolling mistake. I was changing it back when you re-reverted it. StoptheDatabaseState 21:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Your Warning Template
Are you happy for other RC users to use the 'Please Don't be Silly' template? Would it be an idea to boldly add a link to it at User Talk Templates? StoptheDatabaseState 17:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * No problems - I'd be happy for others to use it - it's very helpful! I couldn't work out how to add them to the template page - but anyone else with a brain is welcome to.Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 17:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Abt:Newar stubs

 * There is a lot that need to be added to these stubs. So, I think a separate page for each would not be a bad idea.--Eukesh 22:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for fixing the nasty bit of vandalism that wound up on my User: page 02:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks from me as well. - BanyanTree 01:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Allow me to add yet another thank you. :) IrishGuy talk 01:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * And seeing as how everyone else is at it here, thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page as well. Cheers.Flowerpotman 00:13, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I know that the article needs further tidying, but I'm in mid-creation. Please check back in a few minutes.--Newport 17:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary
I just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed this edit summary; I considered it a very accurate assesment of the material in question : ) Doc  Tropics  20:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

;-)
Thanks for the nice smiley! -- Fyslee 22:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks from me, too. Having something added to my userpage that isn't related to a vandal attack makes for such a pleasant change of pace : ) Doc  Tropics  22:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Shvi
Hi i fixed it and i will fix it more but i did not copy it from that site sorry about that i will change it and check if its fine now. Nareklm 23:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, I wanted to let you know that I removed the Speedy tag from this article after the author made some changes which addressed the copyvio issues. I tweaked it a bit to make sure, and I wanted to let you know. The tag was totally appropriate because the original version was almost verbatim from the site you referenced, but it seems to be resolved. If you decide it still warrants a Speedy at this point I won't revert or argue about it, but I think the stub is in compliance now. Thanks : ) Doc  Tropics  00:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree, the article is fine now. StoptheDatabaseState 00:20, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help, Also may i ask how do i check for copyrights or plagiarism so i would know for sure that it is? Nareklm 03:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Insidious Big Brother Database
I took another stab at it, this time doing my best to explain why this program is important. (I'm still not certain what qualifies a program as "important," though.) Please let me know whether you think this improves the article. Bigpeteb 18:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I have responded to this on your talk page. StoptheDatabaseState 18:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Your user page
It appears your user page was vandalized. Feel free to review the history for more information. Just so you know/knew. User:Logical2uTalk 23:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reverting it and informing me :-) StoptheDatabaseState 23:02, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

"blowing my own trumpet"
The one I left on User talk:Charlie.somerville? Heh, that wasn't a template. He's been around for a few months, so I figured it was well worth leaving him an actual handwritten note. The part about "blowing his own trumpet" is from a comment he left on Talk:Interactive Multimedia Disc. FreplySpang 23:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * .... and I'm so glad I bothered: . :-P FreplySpang 23:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it OK if I make it into a template? There's nothing that really fits the bill for blatant self-promotion on the current grid. StoptheDatabaseState 23:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Please feel free! Cheers, FreplySpang 00:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's useful to have the "blowing my own trumpet" quote in a template. I mentioned to Charlie Somerville because it was something he actually said on the Talk page for his article. Taking it out of context is likely to be confusing at best. FreplySpang 00:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * "Is it OK if I make it into a template?" You asked her for permission but not me, I was the one who gave FreplySpang the idea to say coz i said it before... Charlie.somerville 00:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for the barnstar. I'm honored. =) And thank you for being a RC patroller.  You're doing good work. =) -- Gogo Dodo 06:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

removewarn
Hi, can you elaborate on your reasons for creating Template:removewarn yesterday? I want to make sure I understand, as I worry this has the potential to cause drama rather than resolve problems. -- nae'blis 17:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

afd
Just fyi: please sign your afd nominations on the nomination subpage, not on the log page. savidan(talk) (e@) 00:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

missionyear
I believe if organizations that place young people as volunteers into the cities such as Americorps and the Peace Corps can have pages, then so can a christian one such as mission year. This is not advertising.

Alexander 1st Lord Home
Hello. Sorry but I didn't quite understand what you meant on the new Talk Page. The Homes are a very famous Scottish family so I thought I would fill in the first lord's details. With regard to the page title I simple looked at others who were Lords of Parliament and copied their formats. David Lauder 21:39, 18 December 2006 (UTC).


 * Thanks. Got your message. Appreciate your advice and help. David Lauder 21:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

TfD nomination of Template:Silly
Template:Silly has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. --Миша 13 12:38, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Your User Page
Just wanted to thank you for noticing the fact that I wanted vandalism to be left on my page, but still taking the time to inform me. The reason why I wanted it left is so that I knew I'd been vandalised and deal with it directly. Nevertheless some editors weren't as conscious as you were and reverted it therefore leaving me with not knowing at all that my page had been changed. I thank you for your help - you're a credit to Wikipedia :) Grinned2death 12:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Corey Jones


The article Corey Jones has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * BLP unsourced for almost 3 years; no evidence that he ever played on the team of which he was a member.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 18:38, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
