We are just trying to have fun in science class. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dp.cherry63 ( talk • contribs) 13:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC) Why so serious? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.231.122 ( talk) 15:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Hey I need a page reinstated. I'm a doctor and I wrote an article titled "Drug Therapy Problems", I quoted about 7 different sources, but an admin said it was copyrighted material. The information comes from guidelines that are then quoted in different books and literature as well as clinical trials. Also it is technical jargon and I can't rewrite it in my own words without completely destroying the true definition. Everytime I try to post it, it gets pulled down. I'm new to wikipedia, but I thought we were supposed to edit articles to make them better not completely remove them. If an article need improvement can't a tag be placed on it saying it needs to be improved rather then removing it right away? It's quite frustrating and I'm a busy person, I don't have time to keep writing and revising multiple times. Can't I post it and others help revise it to perfection? It's not like I don't know what I'm talking about, I studied the subject for 8 years already and I can assure you the admin that pulled it down hasn't. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

I'd like to take my final test thing. Btw, what happens after I am done being adopted anyway? I forgot Syntheticalconnections ( talk) 02:29, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi, it seems that the tagging of articles with "orphan" tags was extensively discussed *and opposed* before being approved by *one* editor. I can't see how that could be called a "consensus" in any sense of the term.
Editoral tags violate the basic Wikipedia rule that any comments (request, suggestions, etc) about an article should be carried out on the Talk page, not in the article itself. Moreover robot-inserted editorial tags do not solve the claimed problems, nor make the problem more likely to be solved; and are inherently unfair because they imply that the tagger's opinion, even though it hardly required any thinking at all, is more important than that of the article's authors and of all other editors who commented in the talk page.
Editorial tagging only make Wikipedia uglier, and drives good editors away. In fact, massive editorial tagging (and in fact almost all kinds of bot-assisted editing) is a form of vandalism, like ad-spamming and obscenity insertion — right down to its psychological motivations and its effects on Wikipedia. Please reconsider, and use your time for regular article edting instead. All the best, --

The article Kürsat had been tagged orphan by Addbot (Feb.,2009). But it is no longer an orphan. Can you please take time to check it ? Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 08:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
I am the chief instigator of a rather large niche within Wikipedia; I have dedicated myself to producing biographies on all notable World War I flying aces not yet covered. Recently, I have been stumbling across orphan tags, although they have not been showing up on my watchlist. Not that I am complaining about the tags; they have made me aware of the need for interconnectivity within Wikipedia. However, they do raise some questions, and I could use some answers to help me deal with the tags.
1) Can they be somehow jiggered to show up on watchlists? Cuz if they showed up on mine, I could deal with them on a regular basis instead of hit or miss.
2) How is the linkage tested? For instance, consider Walbanke Ashby Pritt. He supposedly has only two links; however, when I click on "related articles", I find a list of 27 articles. Some of these are linked to Pritt and don't show up; for instance, Category: World War I flying aces, and Category: People for Leamington Spa.
3) Do orphan tags lead to deletion requests?
Georgejdorner ( talk) 23:22, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi.
There appears to be a need for a bot to patrol articles looking for <cite> tags, identifying the subset needing fixing in a particular way and, on those, doing edits similar to what I've done manually in this edit. From a quick look, this seems to be the sort of thing which Addbot does.
This follows on discussion in various places which led up to recent changes here and in some other places (e.g., in Template:Wikicite). A partial list of links to candidate articles (currently about 2500 of them) can be seen here.
The foregoing is a pretty condensed description, but it's probably adequate for present purposes. I wonder whether you agree that this might be a potential candidate task for Addbot. If so, I can describe this more completely. If not, can you point me at alternative ways to get the task done? I personally have not done any significant programming in years, and probably wouldn't want to try my hand at a bot. I'll watch here for an answer, or drop me a note on my talk page. Cheers.

"The erecting of the Circuit de Monaco takes six weeks to complete" is grammatically incorrect. It should read "The erection of the Circuit de Monaco takes six weeks to complete". Erection isn't just used to describe the erection of the penis.
Here is the Wiktionary definition of "Erection":
erection (countable and uncountable; plural erections)
(uncountable) The act of building or putting up or together of something; construction.

You may not, but I was a user, called Syntheticalconnections. I have done some pretty stupid stuff on Wikipedia when i was younger and I wanted to be adopted by you. I never continued, as I pretty much left Wikipedia. I started editing a lot more in 2009 (still as Syntheticalconnections), and the reason you may not remember me, is because I recently changed my name (2 days ago) .

Hello. You are on my welcome message, so I thought I'd ask for your help on a matter. What is the next step after discussion at length over an article's content? I would like to reach a fair compromise with another editor, and I believe I have found wording that allows such a compromise while at the same time preventing confusion when other readers come across this article. The other editors acknowledge my points, but I would like to clarify a particular statement. The discussion has been going on since last August, so I think it's about time to come to a final agreement involving all parties. I am happy to explain further, but I was curious what would be the next best step in getting this issue resolved. CreativeSoul7981 ( talk) 05:33, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
Hey Addshore! I notice at
this entry at Huggle/Feedback, the following:
ArgumentNullException: Hodnota nemůže být NULL.
Název parametru: input
v System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(String input)
v Huggle.Processing.ProcessEdit(Edit Edit)
v Huggle.Processing.ProcessContribs(String Result, User User)
v Huggle.Requests.ContribsRequest.Done()
v Huggle.Requests.Request.ThreadDone()
This was posted as part of a query at
Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback#Exception in 2.1.1 by
User:Mike Rosoft. At the time, I asked if either of Hodnota nemůže být or Název parametru were pages he was trying to access. If they were, then no problem. However, if they were code in Huggle 2.1.1, then that means that parts of the new Huggle are not coded in English. My concern is that, as HG is primarily used on the English Wikipedia, and should
User:Petrb one day no longer be able to continue with HG’s development, then whoever would take it over may have to rollback to version 0.9.11 and re-start from there if s/he cannot read Hungarian Czech.
Since I cannot understand the code, and you are so familiar with it, I thought that perhaps you might be able to say whether this is an issue or not. If this is nothing, I apologize in advance for taking up your time. Thanks! — Spike Toronto 06:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi there -- I was one of your adoptees who passed the final test. I am now seeking to adopt someone else and I was wondering if anyone had ever adopted you, to give a sort of "lineage" of adopters. If you're the progenitor of this line, that's fine too. I noticed that your adoption courses were taken from Tiptoety who (with approval) took them from Hersfold.

Hello, first of all - thanks for reading this. I understand that you are probably extremely busy a lot of the time, especially being a recovery admin and all. Anyway, I would very much like to be able to access the wikipedia page "Aron Erlichman" aka Deuce. I spent a long time on this article and although I am somewhat currently accepting it's deletion (or "redirect to Hollywood Undead's page") I would like to access the text so that I can find the reliable sources and perhaps fix it up so that I could put it back up. I am good friends with Aron and he is rather irritated that it has been redirected to HU's page and has now given me some more information, with sources and some people to help. Although I do not know why the page was deleted, I trust admin decisions and the "this page is up for deletion" notice has been up for a while. Could I please have access to the text of this article.

There is a company named in the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Devine
The company was highlighted by someone but there was no page by that name, so I set up one containing a few reference links and before I could return to add any others (literally minutes or seconds after it was created) the page was deleted.
I don't mind fixing the entry so there is more encyclopedic information and detailed sources, but I wrote the original page on the fly and I do not want to recreate it from scratch.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.

hi, basically a random person decided to tag my page (most likely out of the goodness of this person's heart) after all this time when nobody else did. so i just need my resource page that was on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rm2dance -- it doesn't seem to be on http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log/delete&page=User:Rm2dance and i don't know if it's supposed to? basically i just need my page, i guess you can just post it back on my page and then i can move it out of wikipedia. thanks~
~original msg -- (just forget everything -- too much trouble)~
my page is missing out of nowhere and there's nothing in http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log/delete&page=User:Rm2dance and i can't check the history of my page? is that how it's supposed to be?
hmm.. so my page is missing randomly just today with no problems after all this time. then a random person decides to tag it because the person felt like it? is there like mediation or something for something like this?
but basically if it's too complicated or too much trouble, just nevermind, im just wondering if they have mediation
also, was there any way to protect my page? just wondering
hmm.. it says "If all else fails, try another wiki" so i'll just do that -- where is my resource page? the history for it that is. so the page took years to build up so im glad a random person decided to tag it... it's fine. i'll just put it on wikia for the time being. wikia doesn't have any problems and wikipedia also... but it depends on the random people.. well.... rm2dance ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC).
Hello, I just discovered that in May of 2010 you sent me a message pertaining to a supposed act of vandalism I made on the article Saint John High School. While I checked the history of the article, revealing that indeed my IP address committed such an act at that time, I would like to assure that it was not myself. The only explanation I can think of is that at that time some sort of technical fluke caused my external IP address to be assigned to someone else. I have never edited that article nor committed any act of vandalism upon the Wikipedia community.

Hi Addshore, i had created an article about a person AV Anand, who is a Indian musician. He is a percussionist and has been awarded a lot for this skills. He is my teacher and i would like to create a wiki page about his life time achievements. Apparantly, the page i created was deleted and i am not sure what part of the content caused it.
The admins on the wiki showed up your name and i thought of seeking your help. Could you please help me in editing the content of the page and putting it on wiki?
Awaiting your response.

Dear Addshore,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at [email protected] (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 04:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Additional note: Hoping that you feel comfortable with us, we hope and desire that you will want to continue contributing to
our/your project. I personally think that if many of us contribute, then about ten minutes per week, by
reviewing the existing nominations, and eventually adding new nominations, should be more than enough to get the
project going! Once again, thank you from your
Motto of the day. –

Why did Addbot do this? Neither Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion nor the documentation at Template:Mfd say to substitute it, and one look at the substituted code shows that it's not meant to be substituted. jcgoble3 ( talk) 00:44, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Addshore! I'm thinking about making a bot to automatically edit Template:Vandalism information. However to do this, I would need the edit count/revert count information shown in the top right of Huggle. How does Huggle get this? Is it internally calculated or retrieved from an API? And is there an API to get this info from Huggle? Thanks! Vacation nine 05:28, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

If Item.Time < FirstTime Then FirstTime = Item.Time
If Item.Type = EditType.Revert Then Reverts += 1
End If
Next Item
Dim RevC As Integer
If Edits > 0 AndAlso (Date.UtcNow - FirstTime).TotalMinutes > 0 Then
RevC = CInt(Reverts / (Date.UtcNow - FirstTime).TotalMinutes)
MenuStats.Text = Msg("main-stats", CStr(CInt(Edits / (Date.UtcNow - FirstTime).TotalMinutes)), _

I recently substituted User:Theopolisme/festivus onto several users' talk pages. This in turn added the wikicode {{subst|User:Theopolisme/festivus}} (used as a prompt in the bottom) to all of their pages. Next thing I knew, AddBot was substituting all of these! Bug?
