User talk:Stranger195/Archive 1

Welcome!

 * Took you long enough to welcome me, unlike wikias (wikis hosted on Wikia) which has a bot to automatically welcome new users . I've been a Wikipedian for months, or maybe years! --Stranger195 (talk) 12:05, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:AP600PassiveContainment.svg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:AP600PassiveContainment.svg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:09, 10 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't know what to do, I just converted File:AP600PassiveContainment.jpg and copied its info. --Stranger195 (talk) 00:49, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:AP600PassiveContainment.svg
 Thanks for uploading File:AP600PassiveContainment.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:15, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

RfA
Hi. We appreciate your enthusiasm but with only 34 mainspace edits it's almost certain that you do not have sufficient experiece to be taking part in meta areas such as RfA. Please read WP:Guidance for younger editors and WP:Advice for RfA voters. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:29, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

City wiki
Re - next time you remove a merge tag, please have a bit more thought for other editors and give a useful edit summary. Thanks. —  Scott  •  talk  13:52, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You also failed to remove the merge tag from wiki itself. Don't bother; I'm fixing it. —  Scott  •  talk  13:09, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Signature
Just a reminder that your signature [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2015_December_24&diff=697106926&oldid=696903286 here] is about 350 characters long, which contravenes WP:SIGLENGTH. It might work with a few more "subst" statements added, so that the code that checks the current month name is not saved permanently as part of the edit. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I added  on the two  s. So, is my sig okay now? -- stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook) 05:07, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * And now the sig isn't working as expected anymore. It's still December and my sig is no longer red. Maybe I should change it back. -- stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook) 05:09, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Why not configure your December signature in your preferences, and then change it on January 1st? -- John of Reading (talk) 07:48, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll try. -- stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook) 08:55, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I wonder what my sig will look like... -- Merry Christmas from stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook) 08:58, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Redr template
I want to sincerely thank you for your application of the Redr template that I found at the redirect! It's important that you be made aware of the information in this section of Redr's documentation, particularly the "Mbox note". It has to do with where to place the Redr template on the Edit screen. So this is just a gentle reminder to place Redr on the third line rather than the first line. Thank you again so much for using Redr! Happy New Year!  Paine  16:47, 2 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay. --stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook) 12:49, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Virtual shoutwiki
Hi!

Is it an abandoned project? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:6D55:6166:6F06:6C4D (talk) 08:03, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You mean VirtualWiki on ShoutWiki? Yeah. The founder and only admin stopped editing there a month after s/he founded the wiki. --stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook) 03:14, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Rcat shell
Thank you, Stranger195, for all your contributions and especially for your help categorizing redirects! I notice that you're still using the deprecated template Redr to tag redirects. That has been replaced by the Rcat shell template. So if you tag redirects with...
 * 1) REDIRECT (target title)

...that will do the same thing as the Redr template and place the redirect in. Again, thanks and Best of Everything to You and Yours!  Paine Ellsworth  u/ c  16:30, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. --stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook) 09:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposed PR budget merge
Last year, you added merge templates proposing Puerto Rico government budget balance to be merged into Budget of the Government of Puerto Rico. While I agree that that stub, the former, should be merged into the latter, the merge template notice on the latter page links to Talk:Budget of the Government of Puerto Rico on the " " link, which doesn't say about anything at all and has no archives, the last time I checked. What to do? stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook) 12:40, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The fact that there hasn't been a discussion probably just means no one objects to the idea. Feel free to implement the merge if you have time, or leave it for someone else. -- Beland (talk) 02:11, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Unblock

 * they did provide their IP address by posting a screenshot and linking to it. 50.205.94.22 (talk) 17:32, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

IP block exempt
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this userright to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked (through the use of CheckUser) periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Katietalk 15:32, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Unblock2

 * It seams the whole Special:Contributions/180.191.0.0/16 range is globally blocked. What is the exact nature of this block?  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:10, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The global block is anon-only and shouldn't effect Stranger195 as long as they're logged in. It's Katie's 180.191.64.0/18 hard block which comes into play here.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:52, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The global block is there for abuse on multiple Wikipedias. Logged users are excluded as stated above. Masti (talk) 07:09, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
