Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 10:53, 23 July 2013

GAN

Hello. My name is Hahc21 and I have seen that you have an interest in reviewing good article nominations. I am very very glad that you have decided to go ahead and take some reviews pretty fast, and I appreciate all the help you can give to this part of the encyclopedia. If you ever need something, I don't mind if you bug me on my talk page; actually, I'd be delighted to help you on any questions you may have, related to the GAN assessment process, or in general. Having nothing else to say, welcome to Misplaced Pages, and have a nice day!. — ṘΛΧΣ 02:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Misplaced Pages, Retrolord. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Misplaced Pages:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Misplaced Pages:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! — ṘΛΧΣ 20:11, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Keep Calm

Well done for knocking this article into shape - it was a delight to read on the train this morning! I've a couple of concerns about some material I feel is missing - two relatively minor gaps in the history section and one larger issue in the rediscovery one - which you might like to take a look at; I've left them on the talk page.

Good luck with the nomination! Andrew Gray (talk) 09:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

A cupcake for you!

Just wanted to say I was also sorry to see you insulted at WT:GAN and also hope you stick around. -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:07, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

BTW, you may have already seen it, but I found this essay to be the most helpful thing in sorting through what I should or shouldn't bring up in reviews--I wish I had found it sooner! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:08, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Reviewer

Hello, following a review of your contributions, I have enabled reviewer rights on your account. This gives you the ability to:

• Accept changes on pages undergoing pending changes,
• Have your changes automatically accepted on pending changes level 2 protected pages, and
• Administrate article feedback.

Please remember that this user right:

• Can be removed at any time for misuse, and
• Does not grant you any special status above other editors.

You should probably also read WP:PROTECT, since this user privilege deals largely with page protection. As the requirements for this privilege are still in a state of flux, I would encourage you to keep up to date on the WP:REVIEWER page. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions! Happy editing! Reaper Eternal (talk) 11:39, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Rate

Hi Retro. Do you think I could ask a quick favor? At the top of my user page I'm keeping a score-board of sorts, where I hope to move articles up from C to B and eventually GA class, but I need someone to score my work at RTI International so I can add it to the scoreboard.(note: I have a disclosed COI for the RTI article) Do you think I could get you to give it a C or B class? Any feedback on what it needs for GA is welcome too (I know the lead needs a bit more meat), but not required. Just hoping to post it on my scoreboard for now. CorporateM (Talk) 17:29, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Re:GA

Thanks so much for the review! If you ever need a reviewer, lemme know :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Sure, if you like hurricanes and want to review another one, I'd be thrilled! :) --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Fusō

I finished up my copyediting at Japanese battleship Fusō. Thanks for reviewing! - Dank (push to talk) 18:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I've been working on the article for Fusō's sister ship, and making a few tweaks to Fusō ... done now. I believe we responded to your comments. This Wikicup round ends on Tuesday, so please let me know if there's anything else. - Dank (push to talk) 03:17, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Copperhead

It's nice when a GA review (and past ones have sometimes been hit and miss in my experience!) really delves into the article :) Thanks again! --Errant 10:00, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

GA Review of Distinguished Warfare Medal

Thanks for the review of the Distinguished Warfare Medal. I came to the page in hopes of building a GA grade article and in my opinion one was already here, at least in my opinion. I do hope to continue to improve the article. Rather it passes or fails, I look forward to your review.Casprings (talk) 13:15, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

German Army

I think this is a very inconclusive discussion and the outcome depends on who you ask. I am a big fan of semantically correctness versus best representation in the English language. MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:03, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Hess

The sentence that got my attention was "Hess joined the Thule Society, an antisemitic right-wing Völkisch group, and the Freikorps, a volunteer paramilitary organisation." Thing is, I thought Freikorps was a phenomenon of a bunch of right-wing paramilitaries rather than just one group. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 00:18, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Alright thanks for that, i'll look into it then. ★★RetroLord★★ 00:23, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Your comment in 'Requests for Permissions/Reviewer'

I didn't enjoy your comment here. Misplaced Pages does give all editors the right to request if they meet this criteria. I just exercised the right available to me. Its upto the Misplaced Pages:Administrators to accept or reject my request. Please don't make patronising remarks about editors. I think you should read Misplaced Pages:point. Cheers. JK (talk) 08:41, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

And wikipedia gives all editors the eight to comment on such decisions. If you only have 130 mainspace edits I would advise you to hold off a bit on the request. If you get rejected you might have to wait a while before another request gets accepted. I was just excersising the rights available to me. As you say, its up to the admins to decide, but I'm not confident. ★★RetroLord★★ 08:45, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

No, you should still read Misplaced Pages:point. I only wanted to bring to your attention that you are not the jury. cheers, JK (talk) 08:48, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

The community IS the jury. Admins make decisions on behalf of the community, they are not some independant arbitrary body that decides things on a whim. Every member has the right to comment on these decisions, and you should not be making such requests if you plan on having an outburst everytime someone disagrees with you. ★★RetroLord★★ 09:07, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

This is not an outburst. This is expressing my displeasure at your rather patronising remark. JK (talk) 09:18, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

If you behave in such a manner for much longer and continue to not assume good faith with your remarks you may have difficulty getting along with other users. This is also a piece of advice, just like my comment on the request page was. You are not above criticism. ★★RetroLord★★ 09:20, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

So are you. JK (talk) 09:23, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to have to ask you to stop posting on my talkpage about this issue. If you wish to contribute to the project in a constructive manner please do so. Also please try to follow WP:Goodfaith and be civil in your dealings with other users. Thankyou. ★★RetroLord★★ 09:26, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Apologies

Apologies for my impolite/rude comments here and in the RFP page. Thank you. JK (talk) 13:19, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Manta ray GA

Thanks for reviewing. I hope you'll treat it as a potential FAC. LittleJerry (talk) 18:48, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Have you contacted another user? LittleJerry (talk) 16:16, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm still reviewing the article, but it is likely I will have to get a second opinion on the review. Sorry ★★RetroLord★★ 21:12, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment

Hey Retrolord; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :).

Fusō-class battleship

Hi ... you wanted to know when I had an article to review, and this one is now at FAC ... and half the content overlaps two articles you've already reviewed. It may look like we already have the 3 supports we need to pass ... but there's an understanding at FAC that one review is needed from outside the wikiproject "regulars", and articles often sit at FAC for a month waiting for that 4th support. It's considered perfectly acceptable for a reviewer at FAC to say that they only covered the things they personally feel comfortable with, unlike at GAN. Okay, that's the FAC basics, I hope that helps ... this isn't a request for a support, of course. - Dank (push to talk) 21:30, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Street Fighter X Tekken Review - Character List cannot be removed.

In your review for Street Fighter X Tekken, you said that the character list has to be removed. This cannot be done because it would be inconsistant with all the other fighting game articles we have here, the majority of which have character lists. 85.210.178.116 (talk) 12:18, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

GAN

Hello, I've made the alterations you originally suggested to Belgium in World War II - would you be interested in re-reviewing it? ---Brigade Piron (talk) 19:16, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I'll be able to do it on the weekend. Let me know when your ready for me to start, Thanks ★★RetroLord★★ 08:58, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. If you could give a look over again, that'd be great! --Brigade Piron (talk) 13:28, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bother you again. Could you officially close your review? On the list, it appears as though you're still in the course of reviewing it, even though I've changed it several times. Best wishes ---22:02, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Manta ray GA again

All the problems so far have been resolved. LittleJerry (talk) 19:38, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello?

Operation Graffham

Hey, after your ace review of my last deception article for GA, do you fancy taking a look at the next one? :) I'd like to try and get it passed as GA before it makes DYK, just for fun! --Errant 23:03, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Gallipoli Campaign

Hello Retrolord. Myself and a few other editors have recently been working on Gallipoli Campaign in the view of getting it to B class and possibly GA (by way of a peer review first). I noticed on the talk page that you had expressed some interest in doing this back in Jan 13. Are you still interested?

Trones Wood

If TW gets a B class, will it automatically drop off the "incomplete" lists?Keith-264 (talk) 16:14, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Not quite sure what lists you are referring to? ★★RetroLord★★ 17:10, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

These: Hidden categories:

   British military history articles needing attention to referencing and citation
   German military history articles needing attention to referencing and citation
   World War I articles needing attention to referencing and citation
   Military history articles needing attention to referencing and citation
   Military history articles needing attention only to referencing and citationKeith-264 (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

It might not happen automatically, but if it was B class then it shouldn't be on those lists, so it should be ok with removing it from them. ★★RetroLord★★ 17:30, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Knighthood Request

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

This shows again that you are unfamiliar with many, many aspects of Misplaced Pages:

1. The placement of the {{under-construction}} template at the top of any article informs any reader that the page in question is undergoinfg major changes. Given that a number of the references it includes are dead, I'm trying to find new sources to replace the link rots. It didn't take too long to anyone to figure this out, it's enough to look at the dead link tags in the "References" section;
2. Should there is inactivity in an any article the template is used at, a bot automatically removes it;
3. I'm not signing anything. The template puts the name of the last editor that modified the article.

Given that you are new here, please become more familiar with the guidelines before attempting to instruct the experienced editors.--Jetstreamer  13:23, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Well gosh. ★★RetroLord★★ 13:26, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Knighthood

I request permission by thy king to serve the kingdom and the royal highness as knight. I request this with honor, it is solely my duty to protect you and your kingdom. Oh and we need your help at WP:AFC, there's a backlog there that requires your attention! Prabash.Akmeemana 02:21, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

HELP!

{{admin help}}

Hi! How do I find out if an IP has had their talkpage access revoked. I know the IP in question has been blocked, but is there a way to check the block log to see if it still has talkpage access? Thanks, ★★RetroLord★★ 10:46, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Non-admin view: The block log will typically show that in the block entry. PantherLeapord (talk) 11:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

For example: . PantherLeapord (talk) 11:25, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes, look at the IP's contributions page. At the top there is a link to "Block log". There you can see whether there is a current block that includes "cannot edit own talk page." JohnCD (talk) 11:34, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Elimination drive

Yeah, I'll knock something up in the coming few days- we could perhaps run it through August, though I am moving house at the end of August and so may not actually be able to do much at the very end of the competition.

GA Nominations

Hi. I notice you appear to be trying to review more than 15 articles on the Good Article Nominations list at once. I admire your enthusiasm in clearing the backlog, but in my experience, GA reviews take at least a day, and only then for an article that impeccably meets the criteria without any issues, and a more realistic figure (indeed, the standard time for a review to be "on hold") is around a week. I'm afraid I'm somewhat skeptical that you'll be able to clear those reviews in the timeframe we normally expect, so could I politely suggest you dial back a bit and concentrate on one GA review at a time? Then when you've completed that, move onto the next. Ritchie333 11:27, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Whaaaaaaaaa? Fifteeeeen?. I thought I had 5 or so. Hang on i'll check. ★★KING RETROLORD★★ 11:29, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

User:Ritchie333, I did just start a few. As I am currently in possession of copious amounts of free time, I assure you they will all be done within the next day or so. No need to worry. ★★KING RETROLORD★★ 11:31, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Neutrality Request

Hi there Retrolord, I kindly ask permission from you to help turn the content on your user and talk page notices that seem a tad bit immature, I know it's fun and games to have phrases like "exile for life" or the kingdom fantasy, but such words can appear immature and, will only put a negative impression on you, the last thing I want to see is a user getting picked on because of the content on your userpage and talk page, your contributions to wikipedia content are really good, but when I see your userpage with the exile and King stuff makes me think differently on how you actually work here. People will start to respect you and like you more as a Wikipedian, all the editors that don't like you will see your true capabilities and will start to like you again, but again its your userpage and talkpage, so the choice is up to you my dear friend. --Prabash.Akmeemana 00:05, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern Prabash. I do have a few things in mind, that I will roll out in the next day or so. I'll tone down most of the content, let me know what you think? ★★KING RETROLORD★★ 02:22, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Im really glad you have decided to do so, I personally would add a nice border to your talk and userpage, keep the picture and infobox there if you want, if you need any help with the design itself, ping me in. --Prabash.Akmeemana 02:37, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Noticeboards

I dont like it does not work at noticeboards. Leave it alone, walk away from it, but please do not do that again... noticeboards of projects are the public record, and are archived in due course. sats 04:18, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough. ★★KING RETROLORD★★ 04:58, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

If that is the case, just take care, cheers - you must learn a bit of WP:AGF to last a little longer enough here... it doesnt take much to look at recent edits to see what is happening sats 08:22, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Help!

I am looking for help! Ask your question below. You can also check Help:Contents and the FAQ, or ask at the Help desk or the Teahouse. Users who monitor the category Wikipedians looking for help and those in Misplaced Pages's Live Help have been alerted and will assist you shortly. You can also join the chat room to receive live Misplaced Pages-related help there. You'll be receiving help soon, so don't worry. Note to helpers: Once you have offered help, please nullify the template using {{Tl}} or similar, replace with {{Help me-helped}}, or where {{Help me|question}} was used, use {{Tlp}}/{{Tnull}}

Hi! How do I set up archiving of my talkpage? I tried reading the instructions but couldn't make sense of them. I just want a simple archive, with threads moved in after 5 days on no replies, with the archives done by months. Is that possible? Much appreciated, ★★King∽~Retrolord★★ 10:36, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

See . The archive template typically needs to be your first entry on your talkpage. See the source code of mine to see how to setup. For example, I believe yours should look like: {{User:MiszaBot/config | algo = old(5d) | archive = User talk:Retrolord/Archives/%(year)d/%(monthname)s }}

(✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:53, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

re archiving

Hi - not using any device or time specific archiving but doing it manually, you can simply create a new page in main space called User:Retrolord/Archive 1.

Then you delete (using cut on your computer) what you dont want on your talk page, and place it in the new (redlinked self created page) and paste the content, and save.

It is well worth the effort to add the template userpage which you can find on others user pages, as well as noindex. When in doubt go into someones user talk page like mine, open it in edit, and have a look see about the templates... That is the most primitive manual version, as you have asked for help - others might offer you suggestions in the more automated variety/method. cheers sats 10:52, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Deleting user space space

If it pleases your Highness; I have deleted the two user space entries. In future if you use {{db-u1|rationale="insert a reason in the quotes, such as no longer required"}} it makes it a tad easier to see that they are simple user requests and (other than talk pages) will geneally be nuked without any issue.

I'll keep that in mind Pedro, thank you very much! ★★King∽~Retrolord★★ 10:47, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
