Hello there, and welcome to my talkpage. Feel free to contact me here by starting a new section at the bottom of the page. Thank you, and remember, be polite! I will try to address any concerns, but in order to do that effectively, we must all be calm.

Also, please note that I will probably not need {{talkback}} templates: either I have watchlisted you (if I work with you often, or you are in WikiProject Warriors) or I will be periodically checking for replies.

Thank you! Brambleclawx

Thanks for moving it to the user's page; that was kind :). I've requested WP:CSD#R2 on the article page; just wanted to let you know. Airplaneman ^talk 05:18, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

alright. Brambleclawx 05:19, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brambleclaw,

You appear to be the mastermind behind the Warriors character lists, so I figured I'd check in with you before proceeding with my edits. I am concerned about the list titles. I have already moved the main list to List of Warriors characters in order to be consistent with lists of characters in other franchises. As for the other lists, I notice that each includes the disambiguator "(Warriors)". This disambiguator should be removed; the title "List of SkyClan cats" means nothing outside the Warriors franchise, therefore it is not ambiguous. There are two lists whose titles require further changes. Would you consider "List of Tribe of Rushing Water cats" an appropriate title for the list currently called List of cats in the Tribe of Rushing Water and Ancient cats (Warriors)? The ancient cats are still Tribe of Rushing Water cats, even though distinct from the rest. Also, the List of Characters outside Clans (Warriors) should be renamed; "Characters outside Clans" is not intended as an official term when stated as the title of the list in the books' allegiances section. What do you think of renaming it "List of clanless Warriors characters"? I would move them all myself, but I wanted to check in with you first since you're so heavily involved with these pages.

Neelix (talk) 19:40, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the name changes. Much more simple! Airplaneman ^talk 20:02, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah... I had a feeling someone was going to mention the Tribe page sooner or later. I personally feel that it can be shortened to List of cats in the Tribe of Rushing Water. And technically, none of the disambiguators are needed, since ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan and SkyClan are all distinct, with ShadowClan being my only concern (this page has a similar title). My feeeling is to leave it as Characters outside Clans, since Clanless gives the impression that they are unwanted, rejected, and generally excluded (this is my own personal view of the "-less" suffix). But yes, the disambiguators can all be removed. Thanks for asking me. Happy editing, Brambleclawx 23:55, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good plan. Airplaneman ^talk 00:45, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Which means we need an admin to move the Tribe page. I think I can handle the other character pages, which all will have (Warriors) removed, except for ShadowClan, which I will keep as is. Brambleclawx 00:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad that you agree with the renaming of the ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and SkyClan lists. I also concur with your suggestion to move List of cats in the Tribe of Rushing Water and Ancient cats (Warriors) to List of cats in the Tribe of Rushing Water and have moved it accordingly. I do feel that it is important to remove the disambiguator from the ShadowClan list as well. According to Wikipedia's disambiguation guidelines, disambiguation should only occur when "an article title could refer to several things". "List of ShadowClan cats" could not refer to the Ultima Online guild because cats have nothing to do with the guild. Also, the title "List of Characters outside Clans (Warriors)" is problematic for multiple reasons and cannot remain as it is. It is not necessary that the term "clanless" be used, however it is important that the disambiguator be removed and the term "Characters outside Clans" not be treated as a proper term unto itself. Neither "characters" nor "clans" are justifiably capitalized in that title. What do you think of renaming it "List of Warriors characters outside clans"? As a sidenote, please be careful in how you phrase your comments on talk pages. Employing the phrase "I will keep [the article title] is" suggests that you are declaring ownership of the article. The development of all Wikipedia articles is the responsibility and privilege of all Wikipedia editors; the determination of what to do with an article is the result of consensus rather than the choice of the article's initial creator or primary contributor. Neelix (talk) 15:56, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise if it looked as though I was declaring ownership. I, for one, dislike people who do so, and so try not to assert ownership of any article. What I meant was that since I couldn't think of what to change it to, I would not change it yet; I did not mean to imply that I would not let anyone else change it. I can see the logic behind the ShadowClan name change too. I admire your experience, which shows, as you have come up with great titles that I would not have thought of. I will change the names accordingly, unless anyone else has objections. (Again, I am not declaring ownership, I'm just saying that I will go get this done). Brambleclawx 18:33, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That looks wonderful, Brambleclaw! I hope my guideline-quoting was not too presumptuous. It has been a pleasure working out these list titles with you; I wish you all the best in getting Warriors (novel series) back up to good status. Neelix (talk) 02:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and happy editing! Brambleclawx 13:56, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Brambleclawx, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Cadornism, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 15:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. Brambleclawx 15:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to add to the above, but my internet connection failed at that moment. A1 is only intended for really short inconsequential articles - the example given in WP:CSD is "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh." My first thought was to PROD this as an insufficiently-sourced WP:Neologism; all the references (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) seem to originate from Gramsci, but there do seem to be quite a few; I will think about an AfD (and of course you can, too) but at the moment I am inclined to leave it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:27, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. It just looked a bit trivial to me, so I tagged it. Brambleclawx 15:29, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given your work in general, I'll definitely assume good faith, but could you please take a look at this edit of yours: [1]. Seems to me that you restored some material with very serious BLP issues. - Jmabel | Talk 04:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not totally familiar with all the BLP things quite yet, so maybe I didn't pick that up, but basically, I think it just looked suspicious that a whole chunk of text was removed without explanation by an anonymous editor. Brambleclawx 16:35, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The anonymous user removed text included statements like "Sadly, he has never been able to hold a job for very long, being terminated from almost 20 positions in as many years. Fortunately, his ex wife, Heidi, the more talented of the two, has gone on to better things"? It is possible that he or she also removed text that should not have been removed - I haven't looked that closely yet - but this definitely should not have been restored. - Jmabel | Talk 18:33, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree, since it looks rather opinionated. ("Sadly", "Fortunately", "More talented", etc.) Maybe I should have rewritten that part when I restored it to have NPOV. Brambleclawx 18:35, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a userpage that you want deleted, you can just tag it with {{db-u1}}. DS (talk) 00:52, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brambleclawx,

Sorry for bothering you with this, but could you explain me in one or two sentences what kind of page I created that you nominated for speedy deletion. I do not know why this "I, Robot" section is on this user page template and how to use it properly. Kind regards--Rokarudi 21:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

That's alright. Well, what you seem to have done is created a page called "I, your username". I'm not sure where you got the template, so I can't say for sure that I know what its for. If you tell me where its from, I could try and find out what it is. Brambleclawx 21:25, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was a part of the user page template, I use (hopefully properly), the rest is OK, but this last window is very foggy for me. I would not like to mess up something. Thank you User:Rokarudi--Rokarudi 21:33, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where did you get the template? Brambleclawx 21:35, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found it somewhere on wiki. When I added this 'thing' to my usepage was (I think) this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Rokarudi&diff=338238082&oldid=338237036--Rokarudi 21:53, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll delete the I, Robot link if you like. Brambleclawx 21:55, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you in advance for your help. Good night --Rokarudi 21:56, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Done. Brambleclawx 22:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article Master of Computer Applications has exposed to vandalism (specially) by 122.173.176.137 user who has removed some of the important sections from this article. Could please you suggest any help on this issue? Thanks Ritwikbmca (talk) 05:23, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, 122.173.176.137 has only vandalised the article once. But if you really feel the need to, you could request semi-protection; however, the amount of vandalism might not be enough for the request to be accepted. Brambleclawx 14:06, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Believe me, it'll be a pleasure to take a break. I was just about to sign off anyway. All yours, my friend. Just give me a moment. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:44, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Brambleclawx 01:46, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And you're set. Between you and I, it looks like a worthy inclusion. Good luck with it; it'll be nice to see a detailed new article like this hit the article space. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:53, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm actually going to merge it into Warriors (novel series) which is where it was originally split out of. Thanks again! Brambleclawx 01:55, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to do it; that's a pretty big chunk of informative text which should never have been taken out in the first place. Great catch.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:57, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to have a lot of fun with this stuff Brambleclawx 01:58, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Darn. The exact section I was looking for isn't in there. Do you think you could look again for a section labelled something like "Herbs" or "Medicine"? Brambleclawx 02:00, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found a section which an anon had placed in alphabetical order per the edit summary. I'm including a section on illnesses. Both were near the bottom of an old version of the page...hope it's enough! Let me know if you need me to find anything else. PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:03, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for! Brambleclawx 03:04, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I live to serve, my friend.  :) Going to sign off now; don't hesitate to drop me a howdy if you need anything else. PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:07, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm signing off too. Brambleclawx 03:08, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hope everything goes OK for you. We'll miss you if you disappear forever! Hurry back... --Jubilee♫clipman 23:53, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to second his comment with one modification: we will miss you even now, not just if you leave forever. However, knowing you're gone forever would seem much more tragic than hoping you'll be back in a few weeks. We'll keep an eye on your pages and Warriors while you're gone.

Thank you, oh helpful TPS. Anyways, mono, your request is accepted. I will not be on much until maybe... Mid-april. Happy editing, Brambleclawx 23:02, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! It's not my fault he's back on when he's supposed to be gone! Or were you teasing him? In that case I agree! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 00:02, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes --Jubilee♫clipman 00:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How tempting... I'll admit to reading my talk, and Princess' talk, but technically, that was actually 54 hours and 22 minutes between edits! Brambleclawx 00:23, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah well, that seems more reasonable now you put it that way! LOL! --Jubilee♫clipman 00:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now I can't help but to do a "simple" watchlist patrol. I'm very surprised that so many additions to the Warriors articles have not been checked for spelling, grammar, and POV. *cough*. Brambleclawx 00:31, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*bows head in shame* I have failed you, great cat. I will strive to do better. (that's only partially tongue in cheek, I promise.) (do not feel any need to reply. I will understand) PrincessofLlyr (talk) 01:00, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't feel bad. its quite alright. When I get back, I'm already planning to do a history check of every Warriors article. I'll see if I can supply you people a copy my watchlist. Brambleclawx 02:12, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously though, I'll try to keep a better watch. It's just a bit overwhelming! And a copy of your watchlist would be great. I tried to watch most of the Warriors pages, but I know I don't have them all. Funny thing about Wikipedia, I keep getting drawn into more and more things - I'm not sure how Airplaneman manages with hundreds on his watchlist. I'm at about 170 and a lot of those aren't active. PrincessofLlyr (talk) 02:21, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm now over 270! I have a feeling I'll be busy! PrincessofLlyr (talk) 03:20, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I manage by simply filtering by namespace, removing my edits, bot edits, IP edits, etc. :) That makes ~5000 pages seem a lot less. Airplaneman ✈ 02:31, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the invite, but in all honesty I don't think I would devote enough time to the project.

I'm sorry :( Insaneular (talk) 12:59, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You still need to include a specific rationale which explains the article where you're going to use the image, and why it meets the non-free content criteria. Check out File:Carcassonne-Game-Spinoffs-Compared.jpg for a good example of a rationale related to a game. (ESkog)^(Talk) 23:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Typically, "low resolution" in practice means about 300 pixels wide, unless there is some reason why we need to see more (or less) in order to properly identify or comment on the image. (ESkog)^(Talk) 04:01, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
