Hello, I saw by your recent contribs that you have recently been removing the ] from Today's Featured Articles. According to the ], both double or single spacing is acceptable: "'''The number of spaces following the end of a sentence makes no difference on Misplaced Pages because web browsers condense any number of spaces to just one. However, editors may use any spacing style they are comfortable with in Misplaced Pages.'''" As the major contributor of ], today's TFA, I prefer two spaces after a full stop, and tend to write entire articles in that way; with that in mind, I've reverted your recent edit to the page. Others may feel the same in the future, and simply revert your painstaking changes, so you may want to desist since the MOS is against you. Just a suggestion. <span style="font-family:verdana">] </span><small>(] con])</small> 00:58, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

::I did not take your tone as hostile and did not intend mine as such, either; I apologize if it came off that way. My comment was intended as a suggestion -- hence the "just a suggestion" note at the end, right? Double vs. single spacing makes no difference in how an article is perceived by a reader, but it's a pain to write an article in a specific way (and to maintain it a specific way), depending on one's personal style preferences, and then have someone not previously affiliated with the work step in and change things to a ''separate'' style without any reason given or discussion opened. I'm a picky content editor, and you're not the first who has changed my double spacing to single for whatever reason; however, you're the first I've seen consistently doing so to TFAs. I'm not sure how familiar you are with article writing, but as with other certain aspects of a page -- infobox or no infobox, citation templates or freehand references, British or American spelling -- it's all a matter of what the major contributors are comfortable working with. Double spacing, although it may be minor in comparison to the other aspects I've listed, falls under the ambiguous category of "the MOS doesn't say, so I choose to do it this way". As far as ] issues, I would agree with your point (that removing double spacing lowers kilobites and increases readability) if it were not for the fact that, correct me if I'm wrong, you seem to be implementing an arbitrary style change without taking into account the size of the TFAs. ], for example, is one of the smallest FAs in regards to readable prose, and certainly poses no size issues. It isn't exactly ], is it? ;)
::Sorry for the lengthy response. I may have been the first to bring your attention to the matter, but how many of your double-spacing-to-single-spacing changes have been removed? Have you commented on the talk page of these articles to discuss how the major contributors feel about double spacing as opposed to single spacing? What I'm getting to, really, is that double spacing is my preference, and the preference for many other contributors out there, and if you have valid points to make against it, perhaps you should begin a discussion about the issue before changing every TFA on the mainpage. Again, that's just a suggestion. Take care, <span style="font-family:verdana">] </span><small>(] con])</small> 03:25, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello Warthogdemon. I reverted that edit as, it appears that the template was being used in a way other than its intended purposes. The user in question was repeatedly warned for vandalism (level 4, not at a level 1), and was given a cookie by another user in a act of "assuming good faith" (which, to be quite honest was a bit ridiculous in this case). The pattern of edits from the account is clearly that of a VOA/troll, so I reverted. But no, cookies are not bad. See ] for my message. —''''']'''''] 02:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Re : Oh, yes, I remember that user name. I saw his request for adminship at various places. I don't think it's really necessary to up the warnings. My suggestion is to nicely offer to help again. If he declines, well, there isn't much you can do then. You can't force him to accept your help. =) (And don't forget that you really are not under any obligation to help). As for the adopting thing, you can nicely point him to the adopter criteria saying something like he might want to read it before he adopts somebody. As for his adoptees, better to leave them alone instead of intervening. I think they will eventually figure things out when he is either unresponsive or unhelpful. He reminds me of another young, eager editor. That didn't turn out too well, but maybe this time it will be different. My main advice would be to be gentle.

Over the course of a month, it has become apparent that both the parties proposing to include or not include those romanizations cannot be convinced by the arguments or guidelines brought up by the other side. Therefore, a compromise is trying to be found that will satisfy both parties. ] on a compromise has been given already, but it has not found unanimous agreement, so additional compromises are encouraged to be suggested.

Hi. Generally, if it looks (in the user's contributions) like they have been vandalising but have not received sufficient warnings, I would just comment on the report.

I'm not 100% sure if there is a Misplaced Pages policy on this, but I can give you my opinion. If a band is unsigned and doesn't really have a chance at ever becoming notable enough for an article, then go ahead and delete it.

Re your message: Probably not. The first one is more or less an ad, so doesn't establish notability. The second is a fairly trivial mention of the band and then Jano Janosik has even less mention.

Good question

I don't think there's been a change in policy re. AfD, but I thought I'd err on the side of caution and point out the reason why the thing should have been deleted. Seems like someone agreed with my rationale.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Double/French spacing in TFAs

Hello, I saw by your recent contribs that you have recently been removing the French spacing from Today's Featured Articles. According to the Manual of Style, both double or single spacing is acceptable: "The number of spaces following the end of a sentence makes no difference on Misplaced Pages because web browsers condense any number of spaces to just one. However, editors may use any spacing style they are comfortable with in Misplaced Pages." As the major contributor of Flocke, today's TFA, I prefer two spaces after a full stop, and tend to write entire articles in that way; with that in mind, I've reverted your recent edit to the page. Others may feel the same in the future, and simply revert your painstaking changes, so you may want to desist since the MOS is against you. Just a suggestion. María (habla conmigo) 00:58, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Replied here: . -WarthogDemon 02:54, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
I did not take your tone as hostile and did not intend mine as such, either; I apologize if it came off that way. My comment was intended as a suggestion -- hence the "just a suggestion" note at the end, right? Double vs. single spacing makes no difference in how an article is perceived by a reader, but it's a pain to write an article in a specific way (and to maintain it a specific way), depending on one's personal style preferences, and then have someone not previously affiliated with the work step in and change things to a separate style without any reason given or discussion opened. I'm a picky content editor, and you're not the first who has changed my double spacing to single for whatever reason; however, you're the first I've seen consistently doing so to TFAs. I'm not sure how familiar you are with article writing, but as with other certain aspects of a page -- infobox or no infobox, citation templates or freehand references, British or American spelling -- it's all a matter of what the major contributors are comfortable working with. Double spacing, although it may be minor in comparison to the other aspects I've listed, falls under the ambiguous category of "the MOS doesn't say, so I choose to do it this way". As far as article size issues, I would agree with your point (that removing double spacing lowers kilobites and increases readability) if it were not for the fact that, correct me if I'm wrong, you seem to be implementing an arbitrary style change without taking into account the size of the TFAs. Flocke, for example, is one of the smallest FAs in regards to readable prose, and certainly poses no size issues. It isn't exactly William Shakespeare, is it? ;)
Sorry for the lengthy response. I may have been the first to bring your attention to the matter, but how many of your double-spacing-to-single-spacing changes have been removed? Have you commented on the talk page of these articles to discuss how the major contributors feel about double spacing as opposed to single spacing? What I'm getting to, really, is that double spacing is my preference, and the preference for many other contributors out there, and if you have valid points to make against it, perhaps you should begin a discussion about the issue before changing every TFA on the mainpage. Again, that's just a suggestion. Take care, María (habla conmigo) 03:25, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

My edits are not vandalism because it talks about how many professional wins does each player have.

Re: Myachi

Re your message: I think the CNBC and New York Times articles establish the topic's notability. The article is indeed a mess and needs major cleanup. As the IP who added the article tags to it said: "so many problems..." The style is wrong in the Basic Rules and Tricks, the Origin section should be towards the top, and the list of "Masters" should probably be completely removed since it is unreferenced, doesn't establish any of their notability, and probably more importantly, doesn't give any context at all (Former Butter Master? Umm, okay...). -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:24, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Double spaces

UAA

What I had said on the UAA page was correct, except that the proper term is "hidden", not "locked". There is a log of all of the account hiding somewhere on meta, but when I went to look for it I couldn't find it. Sorry. I believe Popups will always return the correct "blocked" message even after an account has been hidden ... it's what I use ... though I can't promise 100% accuracy as I've never asked anyone who would know.

Grammar NAZI

I was reading comments on a user talk page where you introduced yourself in this manner. Then you offered insight which correctly improved the sentence at issue. From my perspective I recognized you as a potential asset and wondered if you would avail yourself to user requests to review text?

Hello Warthogdemon. I reverted that edit as, it appears that the template was being used in a way other than its intended purposes. The user in question was repeatedly warned for vandalism (level 4, not at a level 1), and was given a cookie by another user in a act of "assuming good faith" (which, to be quite honest was a bit ridiculous in this case). The pattern of edits from the account is clearly that of a VOA/troll, so I reverted. But no, cookies are not bad. See User talk:Active Banana#Well for my message. —Tommy2010 02:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Grab some glory, and a barnstar

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. mono 00:50, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:11, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Romanization for words of English origin

On the MOS:JP talk page, a discussion has been started about including or not including romanizations for words of English origin, such as Fainaru Fantajī in Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー, Fainaru Fantajī) (for the sake of simplicity, I called this case "words of English origin", more information on semantics here).

Over the course of a month, it has become apparent that both the parties proposing to include or not include those romanizations cannot be convinced by the arguments or guidelines brought up by the other side. Therefore, a compromise is trying to be found that will satisfy both parties. One suggestion on a compromise has been given already, but it has not found unanimous agreement, so additional compromises are encouraged to be suggested.

One universally accepted point was to bring more users from the affected projects in to help achieve consensus, and you were one of those selected in the process.

What this invitation is:

  • You should give feedback on the first suggested compromise and are highly encouraged to provide other solutions.

What this invitation is not:

  • This is not a vote on including or excluding such romanizations.
  • This is not a vote on compromises either.

It would be highly appreciated if you came over to the MOS:JP talk page and helped find a solution. Thank you in advance. Prime Blue (talk) 11:38, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Ila kumar

Re your message: Hard to say, really. There's a claim to notability with the Indian Railways award, but my quick look around for further information on that presents nothing explaining exactly what the award is. Placing the article under an AfD would be fine. The notability appears to be questionable. As for the COI, I would AGF and leave that part out. The editors involved in the article have similar, but not identical names.

Funny thing is that I edited the article two years ago trying to clean up a few things after cleaning up spam. Back then, I did a horrible job of fixing the formatting, but this time I did better. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Bloodbeasts.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 06:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation


Hello WarthogDemon! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you  have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to  know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

  • If this invitation  also appears on other accounts you  may  have, please complete the  survey  once only. 
  • If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.


You are receiving this invitation because you  have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey. Global message delivery 13:50, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Er, um . . . thanks? >_> -WarthogDemon 19:53, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert. That was a sockpuppet account from vandalism a long time ago. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:35, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: Reverting Glitch?

Re your message: Dunno what happened. Various IPs are unhappy with the deletion of outcome of the AfD on this person. I got involved when I deleted the orphan talk page post of another IP requesting the article not be deleted after the AfD was closed. I have no idea why this IP decided that dumping a copy of the deleted article into my talk page would do any good. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:06, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Albanian Mafia

What the hell do you think you're doing by undoing my edit. In Albanian the name is Myfit in English it is Mufid. I am Albanian I should know. Do not delete something without having knowledge. Good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liakaaha (talkcontribs) 20:38, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Your submission at AfC Dean Mosher was accepted

Dean Mosher, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Misplaced Pages. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

Thank you for helping improve Misplaced Pages!

You're an experienced editor with what looks like an honorable track record on Misplaced Pages. It is very honest of you to declare a secondary personal connection. I would imagine there wil be no problem adding well sourced, balanced information to the article. However, COI is a big issue on Misplaced Pages at the moment and some other editors love to jump up and down upon anyone with a whiff of COI. You're probably as good a judge as me on the best way forward here. Sionk (talk) 17:17, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Re: User:WarthogDemon/TWA/Earth

Re your message: I see that you had it deleted already. I know next to nothing about The Misplaced Pages Adventure. I haven't looked into at all. I suspect that whatever pages are created will remain until you ask for it to be deleted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:23, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Yuki Saito (pitcher, born 1988) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Disambiguation link notification for June 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Verny, France, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Verny (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: Methodist Church Nigeria

Re your message: Hazhk set the redirect, but did not remove all of the content. There wasn't much there before and most of what is in Methodism#Nigeria is in the old revision. You can ask Hazhk about why they didn't leave the article entirely as a redirect, but I suspect it was just an oversight (not the Misplaced Pages meaning of "oversight"; the common dictionary meaning). -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:44, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

ORSC

You deleted the ORSC entry claiming it wasn't notable. This Is why it's notable it's ht official opposition.

http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/1998/becky-burr-associate-administrator-ntia-international-affairs-sends-letter-intern

We got a call from the white house and were asked to meet Magaziner in New York. We had a lot to do with what led up to this and no history of the DNS is complete without it.

One of the principles (Brian Reid) was the person that paid for development of the BIND software while at Dec. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rs79 (talkcontribs) 19:57, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

It was never deleted. It was instead redirected by User:Scheinwerfermann, so I suggest you bring it up with him/her. -WarthogDemon 12:53, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

That person quit.

Again, ORSC was instrumental in the formation of ICANN and the history of the early dns if for no other reason than the early developers of it were part of the ORSC effort that was in turn recognized as significant by the government in the letter enabling icann the link to which is above. Tnx. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rs79 (talkcontribs) 19:38, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers

Hi WarthogDemon,

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)

Proposed deletion of Woodridge, North Dakota

Notice

The article Woodridge, North Dakota has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not enough notable content. Not enough Refs. Propose to move to Draftspace.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.
