I award you this barnstar for your continued and tireless efforts to keep Misplaced Pages a welcome place for all editors... from your graciousness and guidence to newcomers who might feel "put off" when their own initial efforts end up at AfD... to your efforts to maintain the integrity of the project and its articles. The job is never-ending, and yet you continue... even when your efforts are sometimes considered as overzealous. Keep up the good fight, but with patience... as Don Quixote is not the only one to find honor in tilting at windmills. Schmidt, 20:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
- Congrats! Well deserved. Enjoy the ride. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:58, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
RfC
Hey, Ikip! Odessa rules :) I've only been there once myself, but absolutely loved it. Sure beats boring Kiev.
Anyhoo, with regards to your question, since the purpose of any RfC is to learn community's reaction to a situation/proposal/etc., it makes all the sense to bring the attention of editors interested in the subject to the discussion. Talk pages of relevant cats are fine, but, in my experience, the cat pages tend not to be watched by too many editors (it still wouldn't hurt to post there). Other logical places for such a notice would be WT:TV and WT:Television episodes. Hope this helps!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:43, January 29, 2009 (UTC)
Your posts on various talk pages
I find this highly irregular that you are posting messages on various series and episodes pages in order to invite people to participate in the RfC at Misplaced Pages talk:Notability (fiction). This is unnecessary canvassing and forum shopping. The RfC is listed in {{Cent}} and perfectly visible to editors interested in participating in it. Please cease posting these messages. Sleaves 17:08, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- I noticed that you posted several additional notices after LeaveSleaves's message here. While your notices may not violate the letter of WP:Canvassing#Excessive cross-posting (one may interpret it as covering individual user talk pages), around 165 notices can be reasonably described as excessive. Please consider stopping. Flatscan (talk) 02:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: Neutral notice of RfC
Certainly I think notifying the community is a good idea.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:20, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- thank you piotrus so much. Ikip (talk) 17:20, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Cheers!
I appreciate your help - thanks very much. (I'm wondering what the change of name to Ikip is meant to be a reference to!) :) Wikidea 18:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- It was incredibly easy to type, and it was available. I hate it because when I do a search search, ikip is part of wikipedia. :) Ikip (talk) 19:32, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

For all your hard work keeping an eye on Misplaced Pages talk:Notability (fiction)#Final adoption as a guideline and following up with the people who have commented there. Politizer /contribs 02:17, 30 January 2009 (UTC) |
Haha...actually, that quotation is not my own, but something User:Peteforsyth said during a particularly embattled RfA...I don't even remember the original context. But, like you, when I saw it I thought it was a pretty perfect description of how people start out here...as for me, the first edit I made was original research, and it wasn't until some time later that I learned the guidelines better and was able to go back and re-evaluate all my original work. But anyway, it's good to hear there are more people out there who think like us! Best, Politizer /contribs 14:26, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- keep in touch please. Misplaced Pages needs more level headed and intellegent editors like you. Ikip (talk) 14:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hey there working man. Glad to see someone is doing the heavy lifting around here. Your "I agree with CoM" comment, genius though that statement invariably is, seems to hang out there a little bit in the discussion. I would just remove it, or clarify what you mean. Sorry to nitpick. Is that policy going to come up for a vote eventually or what? What's the schedule? What else is shaking? Any cool articles? Did you see my masterwork at dessert bar? Peace! ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:03, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- They have articles on everything, don't they! This article is in RfC! It has been buried though: Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Final_adoption_as_a_guideline Ikip (talk) 10:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed. I noticed the voting after I left my comment here. Do you think the policy pages are very important? It seems like the "creep" issue has rendered them fairly redundant and so complicated and contradictory that opinion and the basic notability guideline (reliable independent sources with substantial coverage) are the real keys. What would happen if they were all deleted and wp:notability was the only guideline? I wonder... Of course the fiction issue is a bit special because these are instances where there is real world notability, but not the sources and references to support it. Interesting. Anyway, enjoy your weekend. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:05, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- We will have to speculate at length after this RfC is finished, right now I don't feel comfortable expounding on "big picture" speculation publicly, as it may end up in the RfC itself. Ikip (talk) 20:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- What is your opinion on the current RFC right now? Ikip (talk) 00:22, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I like the little safety lifesaver tags at the top...
Which code gives me those for the articles-to-be-rescued? Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- template:ARS is the template that I describe here:
- template:ARS-userpage is the template within template:ARS.
- I used Template:FAstar-userpage and Template:GA-userpage as a guide for making template:ARS-userpage, but with the help of theDJ, I made template:ARS myself. template:ars is superior because you don't need any coding other than {{ARS|ArticleTitle|ArticleTitle2|ArticleTitle3}}, but thus far, you can only put ARS awards in it.
- Hope this answers your question.Ikip (talk) 07:30, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yes thanks! I will play with it when not sleep deprived (which I am at present). g'night. Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:22, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I just figured what was wrong. I was hoping that it was automatic - i.e. whenever someone flagged an article to be rescued, then you'd get an automatic little lifesaver ring at the top of the page. Is that possible? If I place it there after I know about it...well then I know about it already.... Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:23, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I would ask Village pump (technical), I don't think it is possible. The medal is an award, not a notification.
- That is a great idea though.
- There is this, which I created for the Article Rescue Squadron page, the list could be made to not be hidden, and to be placed on the right side of your page, it actually is a really, really good idea:
- ==Articles currently tagged for rescue==
Articles currently tagged for rescue
Category Articles that have been proposed for deletion but that may concern encyclopedic topics not found
- Coding:
==Articles currently tagged for rescue== {| width="100%" class="toccolours navbox collapsible {{{state|collapsed}}}" style="white-space:wrap;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" !<!---R1/11---------->colspan=6 style="background: #cdc" width=600px| Articles currently tagged for rescue |- |align=left| <categorytree mode=pages>Articles that have been proposed for deletion but that may concern encyclopedic topics</categorytree> |}
- Let me see what I can do.
Brilliant! Love the box-thing (and the award :)) Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:51, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Your message
Thank you for the message on my talk page. I'm afraid that in the case of the particular article that you refer to there, I certainly did nothing to rescue the article (and indeed at one point in the discussion voted delete, as there was already a better treatment of the subject). I've removed the marker from my talk page and my name from the article rescue page; but that's not from any disrespect for Article Rescue, which I think is very valuable work. N p holmes (talk) 11:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- oh, sorry about that. Noone ever gets offended from getting an award, even if undeserved :) Thanks for the clarification and correction. Ikip (talk) 11:22, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
WP Policy on Fiction
Hi Ikip - every time I go to that page it overwhelms my browser and hangs my computer. Is it a really large page or something? Geĸrίtzl (talk) 14:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- yes. :) Ikip (talk) 18:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Rome Catholic School
Working on saving the above. Just a thought. When an editor goes to Articles for deletion, as far as I can tell, there is no mention made of how to Save an article. I only did a cursory read and observe but it seems to only be about how to cut the sapling down not give it any fertilizer.--Buster7 (talk) 23:06, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, current deletion policy is really negative, and editors are ignoring policy and guidelines in which deletion is supposed to be the last step, User:Ikip/Del#Deletion_is_supposed_to_be_the_last_step
- I explained how to change this: Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_create_real_change_at Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion
- It is something that many editors are working towards, but "elite" editors like the status quo.
- I will comment on Rome Catholic School now. Ikip (talk) 23:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Please pardon my tardy response.
First, thank you for considering me as someone to come to for advice.
I'm happy to help (if I can, within reason).
But I strongly prefer to discuss proposals on-wiki, rather than through email. (Transparency, for one thing, and better record keeping for those of us with poor memories : ) - As such, with apologies, I haven't responded to your thoughts in email.
That said, please feel welcome to drop me a note on my talk page.
And if you feel that your thoughts are too lengthy for a talk page missive, perhaps create a subpage in your userspace, and point me there. (As User:Pixelface has recently done.) Here's an example: User:Ikip/Subpage_name.
Hope this helps : ) - jc37 00:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Don't worry, the neutral notification of the request for comment I was asking for your opinion about already went out, and I got a lot of positive responses from other administrators already who I messaged on wiki (see above). Thanks for responding. Ikip (talk) 00:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
RfD nomination of T:talkback
I have nominated T:talkback (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) for discussion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. MBisanz 05:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Scrolling banner
I would like to get a 'dont bite the newbie' banner for my talk....but im comp illiterate. Can you do the installation? or better, explain how....--Buster7 (talk) 14:30, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks...also for the lesson. tech support is always a learning situation. Check out Vulva Original. I gave it a SHOT OF vIAGRA!--Buster7 (talk) 14:55, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
