Cheers for the heads up! I suspected that might well have been the category, but I'm going to really WP:AGF to try to help this guy. It will probably be to no avail, but at least it shows we don't bite ! Ta! Pedro | Chat  08:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Favour
Hi Stwalkerster. Can you do me a favour? Re the above user they have created User talk:Charineeimagebkk/Sandbox - there is an article, in their sandbox as I advised. It's borderline for WP:N IMHO, leaning towards not notable, but I'd like a fresh pair of eyes. If you have a moment could you review and comment? Thanks, in advance.

Yep, that's stretched my WP:AGF too far. Thanks for the heads up mate - I'll keep watching it. Pedro | Chat  10:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I advised the editor not to place into mainspace. Six previous speedies and very borderline notability - even if it wasn't speedied this would fail at WP:AFD so as per WP:SNOW why put it through the process. Thanks for your help on this one Pedro | Chat  10:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * ok i know what to do now. thank you so much for your helping me, i'm very grateful, i'll work on it when i can, thank you again. Charineeimagebkk 10:23, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * hello again! I've added some more info onto the previous edited article, could you take another look to see if its okay? thank you! Charineeimagebkk 04:43, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll take a look when I get chance (probabaly later this morning). :) -- Stwalkerster  talk 07:15, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Batterstown
i enjoyed ur article on batterstown, what i added was actually true though —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.155.189.88 (talk • contribs) 15:16, 3 August 2007

Your contribution to that article did not cite any reliable sources, and it was also not written in an encyclopedic tone. :) -- Stwalkerster  talk 15:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

isn't that subjective - depends on what encyclopedia u read- morea hitchikers gguide to the galaxy type rather than an encyclopedia britannia. what other articles have u written in that stlyle,? i'd love to read more - promise i wont touch them. How did u get to be a moderator by the way, when that batterstown article is clearly false - i should know, spent plenty of time there —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.155.189.88 (talk • contribs) 15:46, 3 August 2007

I am not a moderator, as there are none. There are just a few users of wikipedia who patrol all recent edits (or as many as possible), and sort out the ones which don't follow policy (see WP:TONE), or are vandalism. :) -- Stwalkerster  talk 15:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

no offense meant but that job description sounds like a moderator to me! Just occured to me though, did u write that batterstown article?, have u been there? if the answer is no then that explains it, batterstown is a crossroads on the way to trim with a very dodgy reputation to say the least —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.155.189.88 (talk • contribs)

I did not write that article, in fact, many have probabaly contributed. To find out who has contributed, click the History tab at the top of any article. Please note: Wikipedia has a Neutral Point of View, so we do not put opinions into articles. :) -- Stwalkerster  talk 16:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk page cleanups
(Persuant to IRC disscusion) Thanks for clarfying policy on this. Feel free to rollback any removals as you see fit. I will also be looking through these again... Sfan00 IMG 17:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

multiuser license
Thanks for pointing to policy on copyright. Who can explain about the multi-license issue. If the GFDL applies here when do the other licenses come into play.

re:Image copyright problem with Image:Hed p.e. cover.jpg
Can you wait more than 1 god damn minute before notifying me? Try notifying people after 10 minutes if they haven't added the proper license yet. Thank you! — M o e   ε  13:09, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your RfA
Hi. You haven't properly listed your RfA, as you've not transcluded it onto the main page at Requests for adminship. You'll need to do this in order to get a result from the RfA. Good luck :-) --Deskana (banana) 20:29, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If it's also okay for me to add, nobody will be able to vote unless you say you accept on it. :) -WarthogDemon 20:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As yet, I have not answered the questions to the extent I wish. It is for that reason that I have not accepted it, or posted it on the main page. I realise that you may wish to cast your opinion, but please be patient. I will post it on the main page when I feel it it ready. Thanks for mentioning it though. :-)  Stwalkerster  talk 21:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I apologise for bothering you, then. Please do take your time. :-) --Deskana (banana) 21:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoops, sorry then. :) Just wanted to make sure you aware of it. Pardon the interruption and good luck. :) -WarthogDemon 21:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Stwalkerster
Just dropping you a line, to let you know I've posted an optional question for you. Feel free to answer (not) answer it, but I would be interested in your response.

Sorting Columns
Q:I am pretty sure that I saw this "feature" in a Wikipedia article, but I am not 100% certain. Say that I have a table/chart that is made up of three columns: Name, Age, Salary (for example). Is there a way to design this table/chart so that its reader can sort by whichever of the three columns he desires? That is, if I want to have the chart in alphabetical order by name, I can do so ... if I want to have the chart in numerical order by age, I can do so ... etc. Is this feature available? If so, how does one employ it? Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro 22:13, 12 August 2007 (UTC)) A: Hi! I have seen that too, so you are right. What you have to do is create a table, but use the following code:

which will produce:

Click on the symbols on the column headers to change the sort.

I hope this helps, :-)  Stwalkerster  talk 22:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much. This is exactly what I was looking for.  So, just to make sure that I am correct ... is the only thing different between this -- and a "regular" chart -- is that first line of code that says class="wikitable sortable" ...?  Everything else is exactly the same as a normal / regular / non-sortable chart ... am I right?  Thanks.  (Joseph A. Spadaro 22:47, 12 August 2007 (UTC))


 * Yes, that's exactly right. I was not sure wether or not you knew how to do a standard chart, so I thought I'd give all instructions. :-)  Stwalkerster  talk 22:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much ... I really appreciate that help! One more question ... do you know ... are you able to "hide" and "unhide" (display and not display) those sorting arrow marks?  Or do they always have to be visible / present?  Thanks.  (Joseph A. Spadaro 01:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC))


 * Sorry, that part I don't know. I don't think it is possible, unless you make the table not sortable again. :-)  Stwalkerster  talk 15:02, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help. (Joseph A. Spadaro 20:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC))

need some help with editing pcservicegroup.co.uk
Hello Stwalkerster,

Can you help me with this entry, I want to make sure it fulfills requirements and can be published on wikipedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pcslon (talk • contribs) 15:08, 30 August 2007
 * Hi! That article was blatant advertising for the website, which also has to be notable, and written from a Neutral Point of View. The article has now been deleted, so you will have to edit an off-line copy, or upload it into your personal Sandbox, which can be found here. If you have any more queries, leave another note, and I'll try my best to help :-)  Stwalkerster  talk 16:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyright material
My article was deleted with a message from you claiming it was violating copyright laws. It is no violation of any copyright laws, Please explain how to repost this article without deletion. I am the webmaster for the so call copyrighted material, so how do post material containing non copyrighted material which points to my biography on plaka without getting deleted. Sorry but I am new and this has to be the most confusing site I have ever dealt with.--CSMwebmaster 20:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I have sent off PD license request for myself to 'permissions-en@wikimedia.org' which I believe is what they meant when they put 'permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org' (More confusion) - Now do I have to place a PD request in everytime I want to reference something from myself? Also I noted that in the guide (link you provided) it states that the material will be removed in 7 days, not 60 seconds. Is this incorrect in the guide? Or is there a reason I was not given the 7 days?--CSMwebmaster 20:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I placed a Speedy Delete tag on that page, which means it is deleted ASAP. If I had used the other copyvio tag, then it would have been 7 days, but I did not, as the 7 days is for possible copyright infringements, not an unquestionable copyvio. If you are the webmaster of the site, you could just simply change the copyright message at the footer of the page to say that it is released into the public domain, or licenced under the GDFL. Alternatively, you could re-write the copyrighted text, so that it contains the same info. You do not have to send off a permission request every time you reference copyrighted material, as long as it is a reference, not copying it word-for-word. If you need any more help, feel free to leave another note here, or place helpme on your talk page, and someone will come and help you ASAP. :-)  Stwalkerster  talk 20:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Well I can't Public Domain the web site because many of the graphics, scripting, flash actioncode, trademarks etc. are copyrighted material. Can I place a "permission to reproduce for Wiki" under each biography I want to cite?

Since I wrote the original text, it seems pointless to rewrite it - Can I simply place a PD license for the cited text in the source code? Are there any other options available except for asking permission via email each time? And how long does it take to get permission?

Sorry for so many questions, I am extremely knowledgable when it comes to html, xhtml, actionscript, java, php etc., but for some reason Wiki doesn't seem to be very "User Friendly" Additionally I am on a transparent proxy (thanks ISP!) which causes tons of havoc with login on Wiki, and am using secure.wikimedia.org in order to just stay logged in. --CSMwebmaster 21:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi! You could place a note on that biography stating that that specific item is PD. I am sorry, but I do not know how long it takes. Sorry I cannot be more helpful. :-)  Stwalkerster  talk 21:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
