Manawatu Standard

Can you look over this and tell me what else I need to do to get this (User:Beligaronia/Manawatu Standard/) article up to standard. This was requested by Project New Zealand.Beligaronia (talk) 07:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou. Have now added it to mainspace. Looked at ODT for precedent and decided to italicise.Beligaronia (talk) 08:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, why isn't it published in New Zealand? It is Published in Palmerston NorthBeligaronia (talk) 08:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

On behalf of Tiggerjay

...Thanks... Tiggerjay (talk) 18:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikibreak

I just noticed your user page, and wanted to remind you that you can ask an admin to help enforce a wikibreak. :) Tiggerjay (talk) 18:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

After seeing your silent plea on your editor review, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can only be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing, Malinaccier (talk) 23:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I'll be reviewing you when I have some more time :). Malinaccier (talk) 23:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the barnstar! Malinaccier (talk) 14:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to the rollback group! I'm excited to see an experienced WP:RCP and vandal fighter equipped with the right tools. The wiki-gods have made a good choice. If you haven't been already, here is the admin school for this tool. ~~~~

Driver Licencing (Plus Ego Inflation)

O Great Wikipedian, Master of the Rollback and Scourge of Vandals could you please condescend to take a look at Driver licensing in New Zealand. Especially the last heading "Other Uses" it doesn't fit.

Beligaronia (talk) 07:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

PS Ego inflation free of charge

Thank you for your time. Your efforts are appreciated by this humble wikipedian who is unworthy. Blah-blah, flatter-flatter and a spot of fawning.Beligaronia (talk) 08:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Bayfield

Shouldn't Mr Beagley be "acting" principal since Mr Slowley is only on secondment to the ministry?Beligaronia (talk) 09:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Red links

In a list of places (in this case suburbs that get the taieri leader) Do we a)Link everything including red links b)Link Everything excluding Red links c)Link nothing You can find the page in question at User:Beligaronia/Southland Times/ (It is nearly "done" so feel free to attack it with all your wiki knowledge. I will add references tomorrow). Thank you for helping a Wikiduck :)

Beligaronia (talk) 09:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi I believe User:Beligaronia/Southland Times/ is ready for namespace, in no small part due to your efforts. If you could give it a once over I would be very much obliged. If you find anything major (beyond spelling etc.) could you tell me and I will use it as a learning excercise rather than you doing it for me.

NB. I know about the note at the bottom of the page and I will change it when I namespace it but only then.Beligaronia (talk) 06:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

The only citation in the History section is for the whole section. How is this supposed to be indicated?Is that page (Naming Conventions) just meant to help me figure out how to title links? If so thankyou. If not what did I do wrong?Beligaronia (talk) 07:09, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

So in Summary it is go for launch?Beligaronia (talk) 07:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Rollback

As User:Xenocidic said on my talk page, there wouldn't be a problem with you using rollback in that case. In most situations, however, you shouldn't rollback a user's edits to their own talk page--but these were extremely vandalistic in nature, so you would've been fine using it. You may also want to request page protection at WP:RFPP to stop him. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 16:36, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

What do you think you are doing?

Do not become involved in something you do not understand. I had every right blanking the category ] as it is a hypocritical category and according to "everyone" goes againt captilization. Seriously don't be a nuisance. Cazique (talk) 07:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry to snap like that and call you a nuisance but I have been having to defend myself to everyone and I am currently on the defensive. If I have some time to I will do as you say and look at your contributions and go to your editor review. Again I apologise. All the best, Cazique (talk) 07:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Wairarapa Times-Age

Can you check this? Pay special attention to the Leader. It doesn't quite look right to me. Thanks from a Wikiduck;)Beligaronia (talk) 09:35, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I think I got most of the copy edit stuff. I'm not sure about the owners but its time for bed now. This Talk page is getting a bit long. And I didn't notice before but did you really welcome yourself? Beligaronia (talk) 09:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Rollback (again)

Remember that Rollback can only be used for pure vandalism only. You used rollback to undo some anon's good faith (but wrong) edits to the article (Banishing charm→Depulso stuff again). Just remember vandalism only :). Malinaccier (talk) 19:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Stub

I don't think I can do any more for the daily chronicle. If you could read it for old times sake. Do you think anyone would mind if I made a category for New Zealand and newspaper stubs? I will try to make a Manakau article at least up to stub so the red link will be fixed.Beligaronia (talk) 04:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry but you are wrong. Manukau is in Auckland Manakau is in the middle of the north island. I'm going to work on it next. Google the two if you don't believe me.Beligaronia (talk) 02:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Should I move the daily chronicle to Daily Chronicle (Horowhenua)? You can get to the page if you search The Daily Chronicle but just Daily Chronicle takes you to a london paper.Beligaronia (talk) 09:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

HP articles and Notability

Hey there. I would like you to the discussion taking place in the WikiProject HP regarding the Notability of the remaining articles. Cheers! --Lord Opeth (talk) 17:45, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Rotorua daily post

Hi. This article seems finished but can you give it a look. User:Beligaronia/Test Page One/. Thanks from a Wikiduck :)Beligaronia (talk) 03:40, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Stuff

Hi. Mrs Macready doesn't really need her own page. I have redirected it to the LWW character list and added her there. There wasn't really any info there anyway. You are welcome to discuss this with me.Beligaronia (talk) 11:23, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Yet again can you look at an article for me. User:Beligaronia/Test Page One/. I could probably release them on my own but so few people would look at them that mistakes would be left forever. Thanks :)--Beligaronia (talk) 11:13, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Thanks for helping me finding the Wikiholic Test. I think i got a score of 85. Thank you.--Wikipeeeeedia (talk) 00:56, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Welcome

Thanks for the welcome! :) I've sort of been a lurker for awhile, (as you said... a year) but I have had some wiki experience on other, more minor wikis. Of course, I would be glad to join the Survivor Task Force, although I'm pretty sure I don't know where to start on that particular issue. :P Anyways, I'll definitely go check it out. Thanks again!

HB!

Wishing you all the best on your birthday! From the Misplaced Pages Birthday Committee.

Re: Talk:Survivor: Gabon

Re your message: Infinite words of wisdom? I dunno about that. ;) Maybe "ramblings that occasionally sound vaguely reasonable". =) I left my suggestion on the Talk page. Sorry I missed it when you first posted it. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I have some leads for you on the other sources. See and . What I did was a Google News search for the share and ratings like so. If Variety has a weekly recap of ratings, you might be able to pick up all of the information from there. Unfortunately, it's probably going to be a long list of individual references. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:43, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: No problem. I hope you can locate other Variety articles that can provide the references. Perhaps Variety offers a search by author? As for using the citation templates, have you enabled the refTools gadget? Very handy. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:42, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Have you had any time to find sources for the Nielsen ratings? An anonymous IP added the rating for the latest episode well before the episode had aired across the entire United States. That makes me highly suspicious of the numbers since he couldn't have gotten the totals or the weekly rank since the week isn't over, so I removed it. It also makes me slightly suspicious of all of the other numbers. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: No problem. I'll see if I can find a bit of time to Google Variety for verification of the numbers. The IP might see the message since she/he seems to have held that DSL IP for quite some time. Good luck on your final! =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:00, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD: Magic in Bartimaeus Trilogy

This article is up for deletion I would appreciate your support in defending it. Thank you. See here Magic in the Bartimaeus Trilogy. If for some bizarre reason you support it I would appreciate a full explanation. The editor seems to delete a lot of stuff. Thanks.--Beligaronia (talk) 03:27, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah ha!

On a completely different note, I finally figured out why your talk page was missing the edit links on the sections. Way back in June, when Tiggerjay welcomed you to rollback, he used a template that had a __NOEDITSECTION__ magic word in it. Since it was transcluded, the __NOEDITSECTION__ applied to your talk page and you didn't get the edit links. I removed the magic word from his template since the edit link disappearing might be something you weren't expecting. If you want the edit links gone, you can re-add the magic word back onto the top of your talk page. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Wow, awesome! I had seen it before and forgotten about it (no edit sections on own talk page?) but I just noticed that again today when I went to reply to you before. I shrugged it off and replied on your talkpage instead, rather than having to pull up the whole page when I edit. Thanks! -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 05:58, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
