Happy New Year! | ||
Hey there, Thehelpfulone/Archive! Happy new
Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;)
Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh. |
Best To Reply At My Talk Page. Thanks.
Dear Thehelpfulone,
Wishing you a happy new year, and very best wishes for 2009. Whether we were friends or not in the past year, I hope 2009 will be better for us both.
Kind regards,

Please unprotect Portal:Contents/Lists of basic topics.
I plan to rename the page to Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge (because the pages listed on the page were renamed 3 months ago - they are outlines and part of the outline of knowledge we've been constructing). "Lists of basic topics" no longer applies. The page shouldn't be protected anyways.
IMPORTANT: The rename might inspire some comments or questions, and I'd like those directed at me, so please leave the renaming to me so I show up as the contact in the move log and edit history.
Thank you man,
The Transhumanist 01:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm in the process of renaming the subpages, but I only have 13 minutes of computer access left (I'm at the library).
Help!
Please rename the subpages to match the page I moved.
I'll rename as many as I can in the next 12 minutes.
The Transhumanist 01:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you! We made it. :)

for protecting my talk and userpage! -- Oxymoron 83 09:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm trying to figure out what is going on with this user and 2 others, all of whom seem to be the same editor - see [1] - I've blocked one of them for continual removal of sourced text. dougweller ( talk) 22:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
I request that the article on Joseph Stalin be unprotected. The article was protected from editing to force two edit-warring editors to resolve their dispute on the talk page, but nothing talks between the two have occurred. Might as well unprotect it so it can get back to being worked on. Kurzon ( talk) 20:36, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Did you already adopt him? I offered, and replaced {{Adoptme}} with {{Adoptoffer|BlueCaper}}. Since you did not do the latter, I assumed that Coolgyingman was still unadopted, but I just wanted to check. - BlueCaper ( talk) 21:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi
I just noticed that you semi protected
User talk:81.79.11.245 indefinitely, I'm guessing you only wanted it to last till the end of the block?

I need rescue assistance.
One of the pieces of the outline of knowledge has been nominated for deletion: Topic outline of Big Science.
To save it from deletion, it needs reference citations.
To save it from merging, it needs expansion (more links!).
What we need are references that connect the topics listed on that page with big science. See the nominator's complaints at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Topic outline of Big Science and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Big Science.
We also need to finish the outline (it's still under construction).
Please refrain from participating in the deletion discussion, except to point out any work you've done on the article as part of this rescue operation. I don't wish to be accused of canvassing - I simply want help fixing the outline.

Hi,
I noticed you voted oppose in the flag revs straw pole and would like to ask if you would mind adding User:Promethean/No to your user or talk page to make your position clear to people who visit your page :) - Thanks to Neurolysis for the template «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l» (talk) 06:58, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I noticed the comments from your oppose, and thought I'd balance it by saying that my recent low activity is mostly caused by the lack of something like FlaggedRevs, and that I will probably retire if the community won't at least try it. I'm just not very vocal about my plans to leave this place! Anyway, hope the admin buttons are working out for you. Fritzpoll ( talk) 10:14, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
On the outlines listed at Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Outline of knowledge, please change Category:Basic topic lists to Category:Outlines. Add the new category to all the outlines that don't yet have it.

Hi, you just recently protected the page of Stuart Campbell due to edit warring. I agree that the protection is justified but I kindly ask for you to put a COI tag on the article. It was on until just recently where one of the editors involved in the dispute took it down claiming no evidence has been demonstrated for a COI. In fact, it's easy to see at the article's talk page that there are multiple conflicts of interest, not to mention the absurd discussion over at COIN where "Stuart Campbell" himself showed up at a very opportune moment. This tag will warn any readers of the conflict of interest, which is important as we don't know the motivations of all the SPAs editing the article. Themfromspace ( talk) 20:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
There's an open tag at the end of the newsletter, making all text after it appear in a curly font. A </font> tag needs to be placed at the very end of the message, as I have done on my talk page. Gary King ( talk) 00:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

The following demographic statistics are from the CIA World Factbook.
(end of example)
Note that many of the pages have an image, and that the image needs to be retained. The image included here is provided as an example only.
I've added the heading and lead to the demographics articles up through Rwanda. I need you to finish off the rest on User:Thehelpfulone/Country demographics articles.
I look forward to your reply.

P.S.: the next chore will be you and me trying to figure out how to use regex. That will fill a serious hole in our power tool boxes. :)
Hi there!
I guess I'm backlogged, if you could create the page for me to do the search/replace task for AWB, I'll whiz through that and then start on the next task -> could you give me an example of what I need to do for the second task?
Thanks,
The Helpful One 21:47, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
I had the same problem, maybe use my page User:Rich Farmbrough/temp4 Rich Farmbrough, 21:06 15 January 2009 (UTC).

Hi, I'm here to ask you to reconsider your decision at WP:RFPP. I know it is a highly transcluded template and I know I could put a copy in a sandbox and use editprotected. But can we just use a some perspective here? It is highly unlikely that vandalism would occur on this page if it is semiprotected for a few days. And it would make life a lot easier for me. I recently did the same job on Template:WikiProject Television without any problems. Best wishes, Martin 00:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Would you mind doing the same with Template:Philosophy? Thank you, Martin 23:32, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Could you unprotect Template:WikiProject Architecture please? Martin 11:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Robert Skyhawk helped out (via the AWB/Tasks page), and now there are only 160 pages left in Category:Basic topic lists that need to be recategorized so they show up in Category:Outlines. Robert is no longer available and has asked for someone (anyone) to step in and share the task with him.
Would you mind finishing these off?

Watch my edits to the demographics pages, and then when you are sure what it is I'm doing to the pages at User:Thehelpfulone/Country demographics articles , jump in and help finish them off. After all, you are the helpful one. :)

Dear Thehelpful one,
I am contacting you because I hope you may be able to help me. I would like help adding a new article about Advanced Yoga Practices. I added a notice to the Draw page here[ [4]].
I have not heard back so I thought I would go ahead and try adding the article myself. I have looked through the help pages and tutorial but am a bit confused to be honest. I decided to ask someone who has experience for help, hence this post. The subject matter is a system of yoga and its founder is American, however I am in the UK, so looked for editors under the European section.
I would welcome any comments and help writing this article please, especially referencing and citations. If I put a request for an article in the request pages, do you consider it likely to be added?
Many thanks Waitandsee ( talk) 14:07, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

You blocked this editor for sockpuppetry and s/he is requesting an unblock. The unblock request seems plausible, and looking at the timestamps, I'd say it is even likely truthful. I'm tempted to extend a bit of good faith, reduce the block from indefinite, and maybe even remove it all together (time served for edit warring). I'd appreciate your thoughts on User talk:MTO Poster. Thanks, - auburnpilot talk 18:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Thehelpfulone/Archive! A user you have blocked, ThisIsaTest, has requested to be unblocked, and your username is listed on my notification opt-in page. The unblock request is on his user talk page here. If you no longer want to recieve these notifications, remove your name from my list. If you would like to be notified about future unblock requests from this user, remove this template from your page. Thank you, —Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidWSBot ( talk • contribs)
Hello, it looks like User:Michael Hardy has autoblocked (again) Lightbot's IP and then gone away for a few days. As Lightmouse said, "one wrong autoblock is unfortunate, two wrong autoblocks look like carelessness." Would you kindly re-unblock Lightbot...again. Thanks...
