Hi everyone.

Welcome!

[edit]
Some cookies to welcome you! :D
Welcome to Wikipedia, Mynameisnotpj! I am Collectonian and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

{{cleanup}}

[edit]

I noticed you are running two years behind. I think you had about 3-4 of these mistakes as I remember the category being as low as 66. But you were not using edit summaries, so I can't pick out which edits were adding {{cleanup}}.--BirgitteSB 03:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should have said something. I just moved those from the Talk pages to the article page.
That would explain it too! Sorry for changing it around.--BirgitteSB 04:10, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That was completely my fault. Next time I will try to remember to write the explanation in the edit summaries.

March 2008

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from List of Mario series characters. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Wario has a main page, and is a character from the Mario series so the deletion of that section was inappropriate. AnnaJGrant (talk) 16:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of podracers

[edit]

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article List of podracers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 04:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Romans

[edit]

Hello. I notice that earlier today, you changed this redirect to point to Rome instead of Romans. I feel this is unhelpful, and have reverted it. A redirect should take someone to the page most relevant to their search term; and if someone typed in 'The Romans', I think Romans would be a more logical place to send them than Rome. If you disagree, please comment on my talk page. Terraxos (talk) 22:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blank?

[edit]

Redirects to dab pages are perfectly acceptable, so this wasn't necessary. --Closedmouth (talk) 04:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CfD nomination of Category:Rumiko Takahashi manga

[edit]

I have nominated Category:Rumiko Takahashi manga (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. Collectonian (talk) 03:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Categories and sub-categories

[edit]

When an article is placed in a sub-category, there's no need to place it in the main category as well. Take Angel Gunfighter. The article is categorized as an Osamu Tezuka manga. Category:Osamu Tezuka manga is inside Category:Osamu Tezuka. Therefore, Angel Gunfighter is already in Category:Osamu Tezuka (via a sub-category), making the addition redundant. See WP:SUBCAT for more information.--Nohansen (talk) 14:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jamestown High School (Williamsburg, Virginia)

[edit]

I am going to revert your revert of my deletion of the following two categories:

in article Jamestown High School (Williamsburg, Virginia)

Yes, there has been some talk about changing how the parent categories are used, but todate there has not been any concensus on including articles in both the child and parent categories. This can clearly be seen in the following facts:

At this point in time Jamestown High School (Williamsburg, Virginia) is the ONLY High School article in Category:Education and one of only three in Category:High schools in the United States, all of which I will be removing. Thank you for the reference link, but it does not make the point. Dbiel (Talk) 05:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

reverted one edit

[edit]

I reverted your reversion here [1]. The edit looks quite inocent to me, just a standard notification that he closed the deletion debate. I also think that his closing of the debate was correct. --Enric Naval (talk) 03:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok, I'll correct the link now. It's just a matter of having "(2nd nomination)" at the end --Enric Naval (talk) 03:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just used the page param to add the correct name [2] --Enric Naval (talk) 03:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Piping redirects

[edit]

I notice you have been using a disambiguation tool to bypass random redirects all over the place. Have you read WP:R#NOTBROKEN? In particular, the redirects you bypassed here could be argued to be "possible future articles", as unlikely as that may seem at the moment. Anomie⚔ 02:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes are being reverted by a nuisance

[edit]

Hi, The changes you made to Humane Society using wiki cleaner recently have been reverted by Special:Contributions/99.243.234.169 who seems to have a problem with the US being called the USA for some reason. Looking at this users contributions s/he seems to be an all-round nuisance on a mission. I'm not quite sure what to do about it myself but thought you may have some idea what can be done. Richerman (talk) 16:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Freestone (disambiguation)

[edit]

Hi Not PJ,

I reverted your edits on Freestone because they were not in compliance with WP:MOSDAB. Guidelines for disambiguation pages are somewhat different than for articles. I noticed that your edits tend to be clean-up related, so I thought you might appreciate the explanation. I do a lot of disambiguation work, so if you have any questions about how to format disambiguation pages, feel free to ask me on my user page.

The language barrier

[edit]

Hi, and I hope that you have been taking to editing. I noticed that you called for the deletion of Sosiaalisesti rajoittuneet because covering a non-English webcomic here "makes absolutely no sense," and am here to convince you otherwise. Since that was some time ago, can I ask if you still hold the same opinion? --Kizor 13:16, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I still feel the same way about Sosiaalisesti rajoittuneet. I have a couple reasons:

  • It has never (as far as I know, since it is not on the article) been translated into English.
  • There are no English sources. There may be Finnish sources, but seeing as this is not the Finnish wiki, they are pretty much useless. An article must prove notability in the language of the wiki.

Hopefully that will help you a little in understanding my argument. I was giving editors a chance to look for sources, but it seems that all of them are in Finnish. I am going to recommend the article for deletion within a few days, if none can be found. Thank you. Mynameisnotpj (talk) 02:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well that was deeply unpleasant. Thank you for your patience. And yes, that did make clear that you're after proper citations and not tightening our scope to exclude non-English topics. That's a reasonable concern, but as much as I don't have the wisdom to show for it I'm older than dirt on this website and haven't seen the language of references carry a deletion. Since you're a Wikipedia editor you presumably would not be satisfied with a merely practical answer, so I looked deeper into the principles.

There's nothing that I could find in our barrel-o-rules about excluding non-English references. WP:OR, WP:V and WP:NPOV (the core principles - the ends rather than the means) have one section about non-English, WP:N (which is not a core principle but #¤%& well tends to be used like one by its fans) is silent. V's said section specifies that non-English sources should be replaced by English ones when there's no drop in quality, and that controversial material or direct quotes should be translated, both "for the convenience of our readers." There's no mention of non-English sources being limited, supplemental, inferior or in any way not equal to English ones other than inconvencience. This seems to reflect our practices, too.

As for why this is, rejecting non-English sources altogether (WP:V) would be disastrous to our coverage of history, archeology, customs, geography, food, festivals, et cetera et cetera. Rejecting them for notability... well, WP:N is a yardstick for being significant enough to include. Wouldn't restricting it to English media create an enormous bias in favor of Western media - and Western art and science? (They do things with robots in Japan that'd make our eyes fall out.) The recent Finnish campaign funding scandal caused a massive furor and calls for the Prime Minister's resignation, but it has next to no international news value. A development in, I don't know, Tonga, might be a significant yardstick in the country's history but pass unnoticed by CNN and pals. Why?

To ramble further the English Wikipedia is "the" Wikipedia: by far the oldest, the most comprehensive, the most popular and certainly the most stuck-up of them all. Most of en.wiki's traffic comes from outside the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, South Africa and Australia. I'd say that this is not an English encyclopedia, but a global encyclopedia in English.

Hope that helps, --Kizor 09:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Super Smash Bros. Melee

[edit]

Hi, it appears you were correct in undoing my revision at Super Smash Bros. Melee. However, in the future, please use an edit summary when reverting an edit that is clearly not vandalism. Something like "actually the length is 14:18" could have been used for that specific instance. Thanks, Artichoker[talk] 15:11, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Army Men (series)

[edit]
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Army Men (series). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Army Men (series). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia DC invites you to join us for a special WikiSalon at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library's Digital Commons Center. We will gather at 3 PM on Sunday, October 13, 2013 to discuss an important topic: what can Wikipedia and the DC area do to help each other? We hope to hear your thoughts and suggestions; if you have an idea you would like to pursue, please let us know and we will help!

Following the WikiSalon, we will be having dinner at a nearby restaurant, Ella's Wood Fired Pizza.

[edit]

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:48, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting month of wiki events!

[edit]

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon

[edit]

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

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)[reply]
