Interesting nomination

I've found a interesting nomination on a well written article. A nomination for FA-class. Whats your opinion on it? I think its great, but I'd rather see your opinion on it, as I don't know much about the criteria. It seems to met those criteria. -)-(-H- (|-|) -O-)-(- 12:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I do not do much work with WP:FA. I am sure if it was nomintaed it will go through the proper process before being decided on. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 12:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay than. I now have read the rules thoroughly. I thinki I'm going to concentrate on rating articles for a while, and helping some newcomers. That seems to be fun! And I'm going to improve my articles even further, intwending to make 'em all from B to Good-class. -)-(-H- (|-|) -O-)-(- 14:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

What you need to work on is inline citations. ALso, create yourself a sandbox to work on articles in and expirement. If you need help doing this, let me know. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I shall. And I'll let you know when I'm going to need any help. Thanks for he tip, Chris ! -)-(-H- (|-|) -O-)-(- 17:46, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage

You already look like you've been approved???? :-s Ryan Postlethwaite 17:09, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

ooops, missed that. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

question.

So will my userpage be deleted? (MrsMacMan 18:01, 14 June 2007 (UTC))

No, it will get renamed with your new name. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

how long does this take? i mean the name changing.(MrsMacMan 18:03, 14 June 2007 (UTC))

I do not know, i have never done it. You have less than 300 edits, it might be better just to get a new account and move all the stuff over to the new account. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I've had my account renamed, it took a day, but it can take upto a week to go through. Ryan Postlethwaite 18:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Java again

Chris, it seems Java does mean well, but he has damaged the CFL page ! I asked him not to do the page, but he did it anyway yeaterday, and then made him aware of it in case he hadn't seen the notice before the edit (which I assume he did not see it). Now today he does the same thing to the same page. How many other pages is he damaging in this way? If if can't be careful after being made aware of a particular page - twice! - I doubt he's paying attention on any others. THanks. - BillCJ 19:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

• Well, he posted an explanation on my user page. He says he reverted his changes, but I think someone beat him to it, so it didn't show up. Easy mistake on my part. Sorry. - BillCJ 19:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Name change request, et al

i left this same message on Dragonfly's talk page but wanted you to have a copy as well.....

i have made the username change request to move from ChicagoPimp to LurkingInChicago for the good of the greater project. now that the username will be changed, the issue should fade quickly. that said, after a few days of cool reflection for everyone, i would like to initiate a discussion with you and other affected admins regarding assuming good faith, summary blocking after being told i would not have to change a username, allowing a single user to dominate an issue on multiple policy discussion pages, allowing a discussion/debate to continue after an admin decision has been reached, personal attacks, etc. there have been strong words levied from both sides of the issue which degraded into multiple personal attacks with an obvious lack of cooperation and civility. admins would not be the primary subject of the conversation, but rather the userbase as a whole. as you noted on my talk page, i have been cooperative and polite, and i would like to explore how we can work together to encourage all users to do the same with the end result being an improved user experience.

Here's some magenta for you! Magenta somehow promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving something friendly to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Make your own message to spread WikiLove to others! Happy editing! Húsönd 02:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow, my VERY own Magenta? Ive wanted my own magenta for as long as I can remeber., Husond, thank you for making my life complete by giving me my very own magenta! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 02:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, weird choice huh? :-) You should see me in Xmas. Miniature windmills for everybody, whee! Anyway, thank you for helping with a rather awkward situation earlier today. Regards, Húsönd 02:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Azarakhsh.PNG

I did find this picture in the Azarakhsh article. That may be where Kermanshahi got it from. It was uploaded by Jan Gadimzadeh as Image:IRIAF-Azarakhsh.jpg. Looking at his talk page, I'm not sure about assuming good faith that he's the creator of all of the images he has uploaded. His Commons talk page also raises some questions. I was planning on looking into Jan Gadimzadeh's contributions later today, but I don't believe anymore that H-O has done anything intentionally wrong. --OnoremDil 12:59, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

You are quite correct. That was a slight oversight in my part. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 13:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Yep. I tagged a few of his images last week. ( ) I've been trying to keep an eye on it also. When I noticed he changed tags on an image Kermanshahi uploaded, I was curious how he knew the source. I found the other image shortly after leaving the first message. --OnoremDil 13:16, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Socks on AIV

I note you removed my listing from WP:AIV, stating that was not the correct place for sock reports. However, it is exactly what is listed at WP:SOCK#Dealing with violations. Cheers --Pak21 17:57, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Then provide evidence of who he is a sock of and some common edits to show it. He had no warnings and looking at his contribs I had no idea he was an "obvious" sock of. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Dm2ortiz, as was in the AIV report! diff. --Pak21 18:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

My apologies. Now blocked. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks --Pak21 18:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Wouldn't have had the guts to run without you guys setting an example, and wouldn't have passed if not for your support. Thanks, man. SirFozzie 18:23, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem, no problem at all. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Vittorio Ambrosio

On 17 June, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Vittorio Ambrosio, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Neighborhood watch

Hi Chris, I'm heading off to the redwoods for a week of camping...I would appreciate it if you would keep an eye out for things, like folks leaving message looking for help on my talk page. I'm also dropping similar notes for John and Phaedriel. Many thanks! AKRadecki 03:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Emoze

Hi Chris, thanks for getting back to me, and as fast as you did - much appreciated. emoze is one of the main players in the push email and push IMAP market. Could you please advise me of the best possible way of writing a little about the company in Misplaced Pages (which will not be noted as spam). Alternatively, how can I can get an editor to write a short paragraph, acceptable to the Misplaced Pages rules and regulations for publication? Regards, Caront 13:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

TheBackpack - Sandbox

Thanks for you message. Would you know why the user name SueHay is no longer active? I was planning on collaborating with her on a new article.

--TheBackpack 13:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Your block/unblock

Dang you, I had a perfect record on WP till now (Sob!) Now I'll never get into Harvard! (chuckles) it's all good.. SirFozzie 21:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome to block me back if it is that big of an issue! Wheel war over an accidental block! Sounds exciting!. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 21:21, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

heh. Just doin the scut work, trying to confirm open proxies and the like. SirFozzie 21:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I think it's Chris' way of welcoming new admins. He did it to me as well! :D – B.hotep /_t• 21:24, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I often check diffs before blocking and sometimes, being that I am so fast at the blocking routine, I click block on the wrong person and a second later I realize i made a mistake! Again my apologies! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 03:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspeedy speedy delete?

Chris, I don't know if you get involved in deleting articles but, if so, could you take a look at the article Nathan Delaney and see if you can ramp up the speed on dealing with my speedy delete prod. I think it is a clear case of pure vandalism.

FYI - Given that I assume the subject is a "living person" (probably a schoolmate of the creator) I suppose BLP can be invoked. I blanked the article after six days of no action on the prod (not very speedy in my opinion, it probably would have gone faster to do a full AFD nom.). this was what the article looked like before my prod and blanking.

Thanks, Blueboar 14:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

John Cena

That article is the subject of why my talk is being trolled. Thanks for the reverts. This user is violating WP:POINT since some of their edits to the same article were removed by multiple editors of WP:PW as week by week (which is not encyclopedic and would cluster up the articles with way to much non-notable info). So he is deleting this notable info (the only editor who is) as week by week because he is mad (my assumption) that his edits didn't stand, so I guess in his mind, none should. Bmg916 17:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I researched the issue a bit before I got involved. That is what I saw so i gave him a point warning. Well see if he cleans up his act a bit! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I hope he does. Bmg916 17:48, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

oi!

Well I think making articles with my name in it is rude enough and jimbo wales is refusing to delete it. This is demafation. I am reffering to the article Barats and Bereta, I am Barats. --Eweridge and Fortitude 18:19, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
