"Yolo"..? Random twelve-year-olds write "yolo" in our online encyclopedia? Excuse a non-native speaker, but what do they mean by it? I see you've even edited Yolo (a dab page)! So… is yolo really an annoying phrase used by 5 year olds whenever they get in trouble for spilling their juice box..? Even Google doesn't know. Bishonen &#124; talk 15:42, 31 January 2013 (UTC).

Proposed deletion of Timeline of PlayStation 3 SKUs


The article Timeline of PlayStation 3 SKUs has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This can be covered just as well, if not better, in the primary PlayStation 3 article. Similarly, there are no articles regarding Timeline of Xbox 360 SKUs and Timeline of Wii SKUs, so how is a PlayStation 3 article any more necessary?

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 06:01, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Main page interwikis
Hi Thingg. I've just noticed that you've recently updated the languages templates on the main page with interwiki links to Georgian and Latvian Wikipedia as two language-editions that exceed 50,000 articles. Could you please also consider the inclusion of Macedonian and Hindi Wikipedia since both of them appear to merit the same? Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 01:20, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi. You might be interested to see some of the archived discussions on the thread to get insight of what has been discussed in the past. I agree with you that the inclusion of new links will make the sidebar rather long and will make it necessary to set the threshold higher in order to maintain its current size, but having a selective approach of which links should be included does not seem to be the right solution. Can you tell me on what merits the Macedonian and Hindi Wikipedia are less qualitative than the Georgian and Latvian Wikipedia to revoke their inclusion and put them back for discussion? Or why the Georgian and Latvian Wikipedia should be granted special right to circumvent the discussion there and thereby be included in the templates? In my opinion, all of these Wikipedias are qualitative enough for inclusion and should find their place in the templates. Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 20:38, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

 * (Should I use Kelvin or Celsius as default temperature unit? Is that codified in the MOS?) Double sharp (talk) 10:12, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

(I know it's not an FA, but I honestly feel berkelium is a better model than U and Pu for the Np article.) Double sharp (talk) 11:34, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * that's fine by me. It's definitely better to keep the technical stuff later in the article if we can. Thingg &#8853; &#8855;  18:32, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OK. I was also thinking that maybe we don't need to go into such detail about Np purification. We can save that for the comprehensive reviews like Yoshida...
 * (P.S. If you're interested in working on any other elements, I've been thinking for about a year on making iron an FA, but never got around to it. Perhaps once we get Np done?! :-P I can tell it would be scary due to massive history, but it's one of the most popular element articles, after all...) Double sharp (talk) 12:54, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah that's fine. Tbh I was kind of thinking the same. Maybe like do a paragraph or two the part about how it's separated from nuclear reactor products and then a couple more discussing the other ways it can be done. And yeah that sounds like it could be a nice project. I was thinking either that or aluminium would be good since both of those are pretty high traffic and I'm not feeling ready to tackle gold at this point haha. I do want to get Np mostly done (and maybe take a small break after that) before I get into iron though. Thingg &#8853; &#8855;  18:41, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Still thinking about the layout and where to put Np's solution chemistry. Feel free to discuss. I would put it just over oxides and hydroxides – the ions are found in acidic solutions and in basic solutions you instead get the (aqueous or solid? are these soluble?) oxides and hydroxides. See the new section I wrote! :-D Double sharp (talk) 09:53, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

 * (Can I overwrite the talk page for your sandbox? Because I don't really like having to spam you with a new message notification every time I have something I want to tell you about the article, and putting it in the article looks ugly. HTML comments are easily to miss.)
 * The history section should extend somewhat past the discovery. Surely it does not just end there? (Bk has this problem too. If not for that it would probably be nearly FA-ready. In terms of usage Am, Cm, Bk are better models, especially Am because it can reach those high oxidation states like +6 and very unstable +7. Kinda like Np really. Cf is marginal: I think mav cut too much out. But that's another article, and well, he did get FA.) We should continue with isolation at the very least, and then some major milestones. (I've been looking at this from a chemical perspective, so I'm not too sure at the moment what these milestones are. Later.)
 * There should be clearer links between hydroxides/oxides and solution chemistry.
 * More details for the MeV neutron applications
 * I think fissionability should be under isotopes rather than atomic structure. The other as I see it should have electron configuration, how this impacts physical and chemical properties (like Yb), atomic radius other stuff blah blah blah. This is especially interesting because Pa is when 5f starts filling, Pu is when the complexity is greatest, U and Np are on the cusp.
 * compare Np more to its neighbours U and Pu. Feel free to also do other actinides, but that's not a must, only when relevant.
 * Is there any source explicitly stating how Np-238 and Np-240 are made. (I can see how, but don't see how that would be remotely detectable.) Furthermore where does Emsley get his info from that Am, Cm, Bk, and Cf are natural. (Es should be too.) I would prefer a published paper to just him. We have published papers for Np-237, Np-239, Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-244, and I dunno what other Pu isotopes.
 * You mention Np is very mobile, why? I wanna know. I suspect the reader also wants to know. Double sharp (talk) 13:18, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Userfication request
Could you please userfy Donkey Kong's animal buddies and Kleever for me? I feel there is helpful content in those two articles (even if the latter is poorly written). I'm trying to reserve non-copyrighted, deleted Wikipedia articles. Thanks. 2005-Fan (talk) 14:00, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ see your talk page. Thingg &#8853; &#8855;  20:08, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Would you be willing to see if there are any revisions where some gaming guide content is removed in Donkey Kong's animal buddies? I know that happens sometimes. Also, Wizpig used to be an article, but was deleted in 2007 and re-created as a redirect in 2010 (also with List of non-Kremling Donkey Kong enemies, created as a redirect in 2011). Same goes for Krunch, which was deleted in November 2007. I hope my userfying requests aren't becoming ridiculous; it's just that I think the information is useful elsewhere, but not here on Wikipedia. People have put effort in those deleted articles, y'know.


 * Oh, and a quick tip. When you restore pages, you might want to move them to my userspace (e.g. 2005-Fan/Kleever) like what happened with Game Zero magazine (an admin restored it and moved it to a sub-userpage of the requested user with the article's name. He also didn't leave a redirect to the original article.


 * Thanks for the help, Thingg :). Basically, I also want Wizpig, Krunch, and List of non-Kremling Donkey Kong enemies userfied. 2005-Fan (talk) 21:23, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * replied again Thingg &#8853; &#8855;  22:29, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Are you fond of my idea of reviving certain Wikipedia content and userfying it? There are useful gaming guide information on those articles that are helpful; they might not be suitable here, but they definitely could be for another wiki. As I stated earlier, people worked hard on those articles, and I don't want to put their work to waste.


 * So why are you more than happy to userfy some non-illegal or copyrighted articles for me? A nice administrator, I suppose? Also, I found Kritter, another page that I want userfied (it's a redirect, but there was userful information prior to it being a redirect). 2005-Fan (talk) 23:12, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

asking for help on another element
Hey, I'm trying also to finish up working on Flerovium and GA-ing it. I have a sandbox specifically for it; could you help?

Tedious wikilawyer stuff
Hi, I completely share your frustration here. It's a long-running POV problem and we need more action against POV-warriors. However... WP:ARBMAC requires a warning before imposing ARBMAC sanctions, and whilst the editor has had various warnings about problematic editing on that topic (and on other wikis too), none of them mentioned ARBMAC. Perhaps this would affect sanctions. I don't know whether that's a problem; over to you...

I'm not entirely sure how the McLaren F1 hasn't had enough recent vandalism to warrant protection. There are 8 outright vandalism edits from the last 3 days alone; 4 occurred today. It's clearly just one user doing this, given the IP range (dynamic IPs, obviously), but even so, that should be more than enough for some form of semi-protection (or even pending changes), failing that.

Hello Thingg,

I am an anonymous that very rarely contributes to Wiki. I left a comment on this talk page and user IJA responded with some form of threat. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FkpCascais&diff=prev&oldid=584588007

WP:RFPP
Hello Thingg, I saw that you protected the One Piece page and I would like to thank you for that. However, do you think you can raise the protection period for longer than a couple days? Its last protection period (which was for a month) had just ended three days ago and the vandalism returned in waves. I am sure it is likely to return after just a three day protection, so considering the protection history and recent protection period, a longer amount of protection is appropriate. Cheers,  STATic  message me!  20:01, 15 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I kind of guessed something like that happened, but thanks alot.  STATic   message me!  20:09, 15 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Now that the article's been locked for two months, would it be a good idea to try pending changes after one month (that is, downgrade to PC on or around January 15)? Because of the article's previous protection history, it would probably be a good idea to keep it semi-protected for a month, but what about PC afterwards? Thanks. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:39, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Re:Merle Allin
Thanks for protecting the page. The Merle Allin thing is sort of a mess. He's a minor musician that I'm not personally interested in, but I've seen a slow revert war going on at the article for 4+ months involving several editors and anon IPs, so thought I would get some policy involved. CCS81 is an occasional editor interested in the subject who has worked to keep unreferenced info out of the BLP, and Wissingwm was working to add unreferenced, dubious content. It seems likely to me that some of the IP editors are socks of Wissingwm, and possible that this user's recent revert of an IP is intended as distraction from this, but again, because I don't care much about the topic, I haven't been willing to escalate, and CCS81 may not be aware of policy options open to him.Dialectric (talk) 21:52, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Now that the IPs are blocked, Wissingwm has resumed revert-warring over the content. I left him a message about this back in November, and got no response. Unless you have other suggestions, it seems like this should go to Administrators' noticeboard to get resolution.Dialectric (talk) 23:26, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Your vandalism accusation
I see you have accused some IPs of vandalizing Earthquake_prediction. What prompted you to do so? I haven't visited the page recently, other than to crib some quote formatting from it today, when I happened to notice the page protection you imposed, asserting persistent vandalism and adding. I see some edit warring, but I don't see any vandalism (other than this one drive-by), after reviewing the 40-odd edits this month. --Elvey (talk) 18:29, 22 December 2013 (UTC)


 * (Note: ah well -rules for Pending Changes: "Like semi-protection, PC protection should never be used in genuine content disputes, where there is a risk of placing a particular group of editors at a disadvantage.")--Elvey (talk) 15:45, 23 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Thingg was prompted by a request for protection, following "40-odd" instances of edit warring by an anonymous editor who would not engage in discussion on the Talk page. That an incorrect template was used is beside the point, and hardly amounts to an accusation. Hopefully it is no longer needed.


 * Not that this should concern Elvey, who, as an auto-confirmed editor, was not disadvanteged in any way. And certainly it would have no connection with his previous content dispute at that article. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:32, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * FYI I unprotected it to see if we're good now. I will keep an eye on it though. Thingg <sup style="color:#33ff00;">&#8853; <sup style="color:#ff0033;">&#8855;  22:04, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Please do. It would be good if constructive edits by users other than that page's owner had more than a slim chance of survival; it would require an admin's attention.  Thank you; seemed prompt to me!  Happy holidays! --Elvey (talk) 23:00, 24 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Constructive edits by others — as distinguished from the junk material that Elvey has previously insisted on adding — would be welcome. But I doubt Thingg cares to have this argued on his talk page. More to the point is that already we have resumption of the addition of the same questionable material by an anonymous IP. As Elvey presumably would have no objection to the prevention of edit-warring, I will attempt a rollback. And of course, as Elvey (presumably) would not be affected by re-application of protection, presumably he will have no objection to that, either. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:47, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

The Wolverine
Would you mind taking another look at The Wolverine (film)? The protection you recently placed on it has lifted and as soon it did the vandalism resumed. Perhaps a lengthier protection is needed. Thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:17, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

One Piece
Hello Thingg. I noticed that you semi-protected One Piece for about two months. I was wondering: would it be a good idea to experiment with PC when the protection has reached the one month mark?

Hi, this is regarding my declined RPP request for Babur. I'm not sure how to proceed. The IP-hopping user continuously is replacing See also links with those specific three which are already linked multiple times within the article--an obvious violation of MOS:SEEALSO. Replied but ignored my explanations on User talk:182.182.7.228 and User talk:182.182.70.7. Does this still make it a valid content dispute?

I know this is silly but if it weren't for this obvious MOS violation, I would have compromised...actually I wouldn't even care. So, should I just let this be? -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 05:32, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Userfication request that does not seem automatic
You are listed at Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles and since I don't want to inundate the people whose names start with the letter a, I have jumped to the Ts (given my username). I have made a request at Administrators' noticeboard/Archive262. The article has been deleted through AFD twice and the first time was upheld at DRV. The first version was 49KB readable prose, while the second version was 33KB readable prose. Although many have argued the second was a recreation of the first, two separate admins reversed their own WP:G4 deletions upon further review. It seems that a third admin speedily declined another G4 although I am unable to see the history right now and did not notice this during the second AFD. I have a long history at successful recreations (12 articles now at WP:GA are formerly deleted articles that I have recreated, including "Cat Daddy" which was deleted 4 previous times). The second AFD seems to be an indictment against any future recreation of the article, which is befuddling to me. I would like to learn something from this seemingly odd result. I have requested a userfication that includes history and talk page so that I can investigate policy/guidelines. So far the best userfication offer was by to restore it for a fixed 2 week expiry. I have stated that 2 months would be more appropriate than 2 weeks because no policy discussion can be guaranteed to conclude within 2 weeks and I have several that I would like to pursue. Floquenbeam, has stated his hesitance is based on assumptions of bad faith regarding my intentions and that I have made a phantom "refusal to agree not to bug people about tagging or edits they made to the article prior to deletion" which I never made (I was actually concerned about the 2 week expiry and forgot to assent to the request). I am unable to discuss things with Floquenbeam who has not edited in 3 days (since 20:43, 28 May 2014). As a frequent recreator of content, I would like a chance to become a better editor by examining the various policies related to this outcome with the content available for illustration and instruction.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:22, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, Tony has forum-shopped this request at Deletion_review/Log/2014_May_6 and then Administrators'_noticeboard where he received answers he disliked. He has since requested on 9 different admin talk pages, including: User_talk:TParis, User_talk:Thingg, User_talk:Titoxd, User_talk:Thespian, User talk:Tawker, User talk:The Placebo Effect, User talk:Thehelpfulone, User_talk:Toon05, & finally User_talk:ThaddeusB who restored the article on request to User:TonyTheTiger/Jabari Parker's high school career. I apologize for spamming this message, but since Tony has failed to let you know that he has forum-shopped to successfully get the outcome he wanted, I felt you all deserved to know that you do not need to respond to his request.

Actinides
I finished off the last sections and put it in mainspace, it being somewhat complete now. Double sharp (talk) 07:49, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I nominated it for GA, as I think it's ready. I think all the transuranics from Np to Es could reasonably become FAs in the near future (Bk is the closest, in my opinion). Double sharp (talk) 07:54, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It passed! (^_^) Double sharp (talk) 08:08, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

In case you want to do an even more important actinide, I'm working on Th in my userspace. Originally I was going to do other elements first, such as Tm, alkali metal, Fl, etc., but given Mav's retirement I felt I ought to do something to thank him for all that he did for WikiProject Elements. So I chose Th given that it was one of the things he said he planned to work on. (Another one was Be, but that's already a GA, so improving Th would be better for our readers.) Nevertheless, writing neutrally on Th as a nuclear fuel isn't easy for me, especially as I don't know as much about that than about the chemistry of Th. So if you want to help (hint hint...) ;-)

As for Np, I asked R8R Gtrs for some tips on how to make it an FA, which will probably be given in August. Eventually it would be really sweet to make Actinide a featured topic. (We're not that far from a good topic: we need Th GA, which is important, and we need Md, No, Lr GAs, which are really unimportant and can be simply produced following the style of one of my transactinide GAs like Mt.) Double sharp (talk) 11:06, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

While all constructive 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Landmark Tower (Texas), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Curtain wall.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Overflow at your admintools page
Dear User:Thingg. Your page User:Thingg/dashboard has appeared at Category:Pages_where_template_include_size_is_exceeded. You could help us to empty this maintenance category by replacing the former templates with admin dashboard/light. This template provides the same functionality, but is far less prone to overflow.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

This is not meant to be a joke, but an article named Tolmans Hill, Tasmania is still in the adding pictures area, which is in the community portal, after I removed the template. Can you please help me? Thank you:)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Custom signature fix needed
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
 * Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
