| Hiya, just as a reminder, I'd like to see you try and find that "50-50" split between al-Durrah edits and other work. And don't worry, we're not yet into the red zone on this, especially because you've done so much excellent work on other articles in the meantime. But over the last week or so, your contribs: {{user|Tundrabuggy}} seem to have been almost entirely on the al-Durrah topic. If you could break this up a bit, and be sure to work on other articles as well, it would be helpful. It can also be very useful in helping to give you perspective on things, not to mention being a great benefit to the encyclopedia! Thanks, ]]] 06:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 06:28, 27 July 2008
 Archives |

This page has archives. Sections older than 30 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III. |
Just archived my first talk page, (with the help of Elonka). That was rather neat. Welcome and feel free to add a comment on this page. Just click on "new section" above.
Archiving
Congrats on your first archive. :) I'd recommend moving the subpage to "/Archive 1", as that's more standard, and will work better with some other nifty utilities that can auto-recognize archives. But it's not a huge deal at this point, so up to you. :) Also, we can set up an archivebot if you want, that'll automatically check your page every day and archive any threads which have been inactive for a certain amount of time. I can set that up for you, or if you'd like to read up on it yourself, check User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. Let me know, --Elonka 17:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- To move the page, see WP:MOVE. It's very simple, just go to the page, and at the top you should see a "Move" tab. Click on the tab, and then enter the new name of the page. Be sure to leave the slashes alone, so it stays in your own userspace. :) As for the bot, yes, it is very configurable, just tell me what delay you'd like, and I'll configure. I can also do the page move if you want, just let me know! --Elonka 19:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- As requested, bot is set up, with a 30-day cutoff. I also gave you an automated archivebox, though if you ever want to handle that manually, let me know and I'll put up a manual {{archivebox}} for you. Enjoy! --Elonka 20:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Vandalism
If you'd like to help out more with vandal fighting, that would be a wonderful way to participate in the Misplaced Pages culture. See WP:CUV for more. Or if you just want to report the "occasional" vandal, just list them at WP:AIV and they're usually dealt with quite rapidly. :) --Elonka 18:46, 19 July 2008 (UTC) --copied from Elonka's talk page so I can remember.
Question re biased reporters
I understand where you are coming from, but the rules of the game do not allow us to exclude O'Loughlin, no matter how biased you (or I, or Landes) think he is, becuase he was published in a reliable source. The proper course of action is to include other reliable sources, such as Poller's Commentary article, which give a different account of what is on the tape. It is also appropriate, as you have just done, to highlight the fact that O'Loughlin's account is based on an unidentified tape, which he acknowledges to be a heavily edited, spliced-up video. Canadian Monkey (talk) 16:07, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- I don't understand what you mean by 'can't we ask for someone else as well?'. we can certainly add other accounts of the video's content, such as the one by Poller. If there are others, add them as well. What we can't do is add comments about O'Loughlin from someone who questions O'Loughlin's neutrality. Canadian Monkey (talk) 00:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
sandbox
I have moved Tundrabuggy/dura to User:Tundrabuggy/dura. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 12:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
How-to make and delete a page
- Try to remember how you created User:Tundrabuggy/ Yom Tov Samia! I go to my user page, add
/summickto the URL in the browser's address box and hit Enter! Why delete? You might want to go back. I have this permanent sandbox which I simply blank after each session. But if you must delete, just tag it {{db-author}}. — RHaworth (Talk
AfD
The AfD page explains it fairly clearly, but it can seem intimidating. What specifically can I help you with? Jayjg 02:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- By the way, you might find this source on Al-Dura helpful. Jayjg 00:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Followup
Hiya, just as a reminder, I'd like to see you try and find that "50-50" split between al-Durrah edits and other work. And don't worry, we're not yet into the red zone on this, especially because you've done so much excellent work on other articles in the meantime. But over the last week or so, your contribs: Tundrabuggy (talk · contribs) seem to have been almost entirely on the al-Durrah topic. If you could break this up a bit, and be sure to work on other articles as well, it would be helpful. It can also be very useful in helping to give you perspective on things, not to mention being a great benefit to the encyclopedia! Thanks, Elonka 06:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
