How do you want them arranged? I'm going to be away until some time Sunday so you may get better response from Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). RJFJR 21:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the right and/or in groups. Smokizzy 21:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently userboxes can be formatted using either HTML tables or wiki-markup infoboxes. I'm not very experienced at this. My recommendation is look at the user pages of people who are experienced, until you find one layed out in a way you like and then copy it. Or you can try the village pump technical section. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance. RJFJR 15:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To link to a category put it in double brackets, then a colon (for link rather than to include the page in the categdory) then the name beginning with category: and then close with a double brackets.

There only limit on how often you can play word association is that you can not have successive turns. In most games this means that you can only add one word, and then you have to wait for someone else to have a turn before you can have your next one. It isn't generally regarded as a good thing if your contributions to word association (or other games) significantly outway productive contributions to the wiki, but this is just a matter of opinion.

Do you really think Association of Professional Genealogists is a blatent advertisemetn? I don't see any promotional tone. it is a stub, and needs expansion if kept. It may be non-notable. Bot spam? I don't think so. DES ^(talk) 06:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You tagged Cpl Tyler Rock for speedy deletion. I've removed the speedy tag and haven't deleted it, because you gave no rationale other than "Not sure what this article is", and the article does not seem to meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. In future, please refer to one of the WP:CSD criteria when tagging an article for speedy. The article might well be deletable - it has only one source and no real evidence of notability - but it should be sent to AfD in that case, rather than speedied.

Hi Smokizzy, I'd be glad to give you an editor review, but it probably won't happen before Wednesday-ish because I'm a bit busy in the real world. Hope you don't mind! Regards, – Riana_ऋ 04:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

why did you do this: 14:48, 7 May 2007 Smokizzy (Talk | contribs) m (98,471 bytes) (Reverted 4 edits by 213.41.137.29 identified as vandalism to last revision by Coemgenus. using TW)

If you did it because I wrote This will be done by employee paied 25% more (in net) per hour between 35 and 39, with money from welfare, then just know that the frnch newspaper La Tribune (lunidi 7 mai 2007) write on page 5: «Dès le collectif budgétaire qui sera soumis aux députés en juillet, il fera adopter l'une des mesures les plus emblématiques de son projet visant à développer dans les entreprises les heures supplémentaires. Au delà de la 35° heure de travail continue, toute heure supplémentaire bénéficiera d'un bonus de 25%, mais surtout elle sera totalement défiscalisée et exonérée de cotisations sociales (salariales et patronales) de sécurité sosciale.». I did not understodd where the vandalism is.

In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect other forms of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Thank you. Matthew 21:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, have you followed the external links section to see if the subject is notable or not? have you googled before adding the notability guidelines? though the article is still stub and seconds old, you hasten to add the template. If you still insist that the subject is not notable enough, then I would request putting the article for voting, as I believe it should stay. Please, let me know what you think on my user page.

You recently marked William Spaniel as in the category "Wikipedia articles with topics of unclear importance". The article has expanded greatly since then, and I would appreciate it if you could both explain your reasons for the article being of the category or take it out of the category.

Hi, I reverted some changes I considered inapropriate, since they were not first discussed, and lacked some base. Also, I took the time to write my reasons for doing that in the discussion page of the article. I would like to know your reasons for reverting my reversion, starting off by the fact that the university's motto is actually "La Universidad del Futuro" and not "La Universidad de la Excelencia" as you can see in this webpage http://www.usb.ve/conocer/simbolos.html (although, it is in Spanish.)

So, please, be so kind to state your reasons for your actions. In the meantime, I will not re-edit for a day or two the page, as a sign of respect to you, until we discuss properly the situation and get to a mutual agreement. I look forward to seeing your point of view. Regards, Daguerio. Daguerio 00:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Great! It is nice to know you are willing to help. I did not alter the basic structure of Traditions. I fixed some typos and made it more PC. I also added some "citation needed"s, but, I would like to add the sort of disclaimer that states there is a lack of sources used in that part of the article. I am not quite sure how to do that and would like you to help me.

Also, regarding sources, I truly want to help. Sadly, although most of the things are true in Traditions (I really know it since I am currently studying there and know those myths by heart, as everybody else I know does), I cannot seem to find sources. It is really hard, especially in the internet. I do not know if there is another way I could find sources to back those statements, maybe an interview with some authority of the university or something else. If you can think of something you are more than welcomed to help.

Lastly, I hope you like my last edit and do not find the need to revert it. If you have any comments, please, do tell me, as I am really interested in improving this article. That is all for now. Thanks for your time. Regards, Daguerio. Daguerio 00:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I mega-goofed, obviously, which I so rarely do. I've tagged all the ones I created by mistake with {{db-empty}}, so you needn't do anymore, and they should all go away soon. I was attempting to categorize all the uncategorized sockpuppet categories, which I'll go do now. Correctly. To quote a wise man, "D'oh!" Sorry again for the inconvenience. :( --Ebyabe 02:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback. I changed the Prisoner of Azkaban one to a darker background to increase the contrast with the title text. Are there other ones you'd like to change? If so, please tell me or you can also change them yourself by using the colors from Web colors#X11 color names. For example, I chagned the PoA background color from "purple" to "indigo". Hope that helps. Brisvegas 23:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you reverted my changes[3] on Rodney_McKay without a comment. I tried, as suggested by the 'Trivia' tag, to integrate "content in this section [...] into the body of the article or" to remove it. I also made a few minor changes. Was something wrong with any of them?

... the vandalism on my user page, before I even noticed it was there! Nice work. Bencherlite 14:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted the changes I made regarding the supposed location of the Pillars of Hercules, giving the reason that I did not cite a reference. Yet what is said in the Atlantis article, which is totally controversial, is not referenced. Who said that before Eratosthenes the Greeks placed the Pillars of Hercules at the Straits of Sicily? What evidence do you have for this? Please supply it, as I would be very interested to read it.

Thanks for the help with joining the History Wikiproject

What was your thinking behind reverting 76.25.51.174's edit? I guess I'm asking, why didn't you revert 71.223.52.24's edits also? The latter's addition strikes me as not well written for Wikipedia -- clearly POV and poorly sourced. It appeared that 76.25.51.174's edit was an attempt to add NPOV although the editor didn't go nearly far enough. What do you think? Therefore 21:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Smokizzy. Except in the case of obvious vandalism it normally takes me more than one minute to decide if a page should be reverted. Perhaps you would like to review Enrico Mattei a little more fully following my reversal, although improvements are, of course, very welcome. Gralo 20:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. Don't know what I was thinking/looking at. Apologies, Smokizzy (talk) 21:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. The beauty of Wikipedia is that everything is reversible! Regards Gralo 21:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was just wondering why you reverted my edits to this article. They were both valid and notable, as well as referenced at the bottom of the page. Also, you provided no reason or rationale and did not discuss the issue on the talk page, as per Wikipedia's general policy. Try not to revert things without investigating their merit. Maybe the editor added valuable information, as in this case. CaseyIsDShiz 22:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your message regarding a revert of my edit to the SunRocket article does not make sense. The text I added regarding the announcement by SunRocket that it is "no longer accepting calls for customer support or sales" is accurate and was published in several newspaper articles including the New York Times word for word. Other users have word-smithed the article and provided numerous official sources. SunRocket is reported to be going out of business and leaving over 200,000 VoIP users without service after they paid $199 for a year's worth of service. SunRocket ..... the "gotcha" phone company. Please explain why you sent messages saying you reverted my edit.

Just a reminder that WP-nn (WP:CSD A7) can only be used for the types of things specified, people, companies, web content, groups, bands. It cannot be used for schools, articles about poetry, or anything not listed. Also, it can not be used where there is any good-faith assertion of importance--saying someone is a school principal, for example, is an assertion of importance. In each case, the method to use is either PROD, if you think it will not be contested, or AfD, if you think it will. DGG (talk) 15:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We're taking on the meaning of life as a class project, to bring it to featured article status. Any help and coaching you could provide would be most appreciated.

Hiya - just a quick note. I've removed a couple of your posts to WP:UAA. Having a name which matches the name of a company isn't automatically a breach of username policy. When you use that account to promote that company, or organisation, then it is, and the account should then be blocked. A number of the reports which you've made are for accounts which haven't actually made any contributions - it could be seen as a bit bitey and a failure to assume good faith to block them immediately. If, of course, they then start creating articles about the very organisations after which they are named, feel free to relist them. Thanks, and thanks for your efforts! _GB^T/C 19:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...so for thankin' a gentleman for pointing me to a place where I amy experiment with a wiki I now recieve a warning? Thats not southern hospitality, sir, not hospitality in the least. Good day, sir, and in the future, consider puttin; some thought into your comments before lashing out a thanks. Ya'll end up makin' enemies that way, not friends. 129.108.96.107 (talk) 01:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You've received this templated message because you've recently reverted vandalism on User:TenOfAllTrades or User talk:TenOfAllTrades. I'd like to thank you for fixing things up, and I appreciate the effort.

The vandalism you've reverted is due to a serial vandal and harrasser that once went by the username Light current. He's been indefinitely blocked for a year, but just hasn't seemed to have taken the hint. Sometimes he'll edit using an IP from one of Tiscali UK's ranges, other times he'll use a throwaway sock of some sort. The page at Wikipedia:Abuse reports/Tiscali DSL provides the background. Typical IP addresses are 76.76.* and 88.108.* through 88.111.*.

If you're an administrator, it is in general safe to block indefinitely any accounts that vandalize my talk page without issuing any advance warnings. If you're blocking an IP address, I recommend blocks of 31 hours. Longer blocks risk collateral damage, while shorter blocks may not serve to actually prevent further vandalism. (Previous experience suggests that Tiscali DSL IPs roll over about once a day.) If you're not an administrator, please consider posting a report at WP:AIV. Light current typically continues to deface pages and undo reverts of his vandalism until blocked.

Typically, he will vandalize your user or talk page after you've reverted vandalism on my user pages; I apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you again for mopping up. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 01:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The recent edit you made to Princess Nikki constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. Smokizzy (talk) 01:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Look at the issue again. Inanimate objects like rocks cannot commit treachery; The word was most likely put there by someone for whom English was a second language. Thus, removal of this inappropriate adjective can in no way be considered "unconstructive". Please note that when dealing with other wikipeadians, please try to follow the guidelines in WP:AGF. This means, not reverting other people's work without discussing it first. Thanks, Overminor (talk) 05:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you that some of the links provided on the article were spammy, but others were a GF attempt by the article's author to address the issues coming up in the AfD. I've restored some of the better links. Please be careful when undoing edits without an edit summary; I had no idea what you were doing until I checked the author's talk page. Despite the addition of sources, I'm not withdrawing the AfD, so if you feel they're inadequate, I encourage you to voice your concerns there. Thanks. --Nsevs • Talk 21:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, and while you're reading this, I can get a few reverts in. :P J.delanoy^gabs_adds

Dang it, I was thinking "No one but God Himself could beat someone with huggle." I was wrong. Another user with huggle can beat a user with huggle. Oh well...... J.delanoy^gabs_adds 21:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Judaism Newsletter Issue II -- Tammuz, 5768

WikiProject Judaism (talk/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (talk/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (talk/to do) Now with 200% more Jewishness! Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, and WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, L'Aquatique. A Special Dispatch Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly dickish) to call someone an anti-semite when they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a Godwin-esque law. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. In the News A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project[s]. There is a proposal to reword the section on NPOV regarding religious articles. Please see Wikipedia_talk:NPOV#Religion section - Disputes between historians or scientists and religious_views to weigh in. Thanks largely to the efforts of Xyz7890, a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See: Template talk:Halakha to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved. To Do The Simple English Wikipedia is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is here and a more extended list is here. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: Judaism and Jewish History. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list) [Simple English] WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Wikipedia are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact User:John Carter. WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes... New Members Judaism: Big maybe, Janirai, Jfdwolff, Joseph.mahal, Joshua Weiss, LisaLiel, Rcjavid, Yehudi, YY, Agent204.15, Gilad73, Joseph.mahal, Noah03 Jewish History: Noah03 Kabbalah: None.

The Judaism Newsletter Issue III -- Av, 5768

WikiProject Judaism (talk/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (talk/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (talk/to do) "Censorship" of names of G-d There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh. Article Cleanup Lists User:B. Wolterding has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on his talk page. In the News There is a collaboration drive to get Holocaust in Lithuania to good article status. For information about how you can help, see the talk page or contact User:Piotrus. WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article (Diane Keaton and David Beckham, respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with Kabbalah. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject. After a rather heated discussion, there are now two barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, {{The Jewish Barnstar}} and {{The New Jewish Barnstar}}, and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar! To Do/Help Requests If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named Moshe Idel. According to HG there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for DYK if the finished article is eligible. The folks at Shimon Peres need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday. If you can help, please see Talk:Shimon_Peres#Birthday. New Members Judaism: Arigont, Avi, CheskiChips, Pini00001, Shirulashem, TaliaNadel, Tyciol, yehoshuafriedla Jewish History: 5768altalena, AniMate, User:Yosef.garibaldi.gmail, Pinnecco, Shirulashem, Tyciol Kabbalah: Shuliavrumi New Articles Bezalel Rudinsky (thanks Shirulashem!}, Jewish tartan (thanks Briangotts!), Hebrew spelling (thanks Epson291) We get a lot of articles that are being created and not announced! By announcing new articles, you attract attention to them, and the more people looking and editing the better they will get.

Thanks for deleting that tres charmant message by User:76.167.245.94. The user has once (3x) again inexplicably deleted half the Spoke card article, but I'm not an administrator, so I can't actually do anything. Do you have any advice? This not exactly an article that I would have anticipated being controversial in any manner :) Thanks, -Uyvsdi (talk) 00:49, 23 November 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

SMokeizzy, I had the pleasure of talking to Fastily about the chico debarge page. The person editing Chico's page has no facts to back up the potentially libelous charges re Chico having 7 kids and being involved in paternity suits. Fastily agreed with me and issued a warning to the person making that claim. Here is Fastily's warning to that person:

"Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Chico DeBarge. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -FASTILY (TALK) 05:33, 21 December 2009 (UTC)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realitylogger72 (talk • contribs)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please be careful to read the criteria for speedy deletion before requesting deletion next time; R3 is for use on recently created articles which are created as a result of an implausible typo or misnomer. The redirect has not been created recently, and is not a typo or misnomer. If you have any further issues please consider taking the redirect to WP:RfD.

Hi there! Sorry for bothering, but it is the first time I use Wikiversity and I'm with a doubt. You see, I'm trying learn HTML (http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/HTML) and there asks me to sign in ("Please sign below if you are participating in this topic. Use three tildes (~) to sign"), but I didn't get it. Should I press "Edit" and write my name in there with three tildes? Because I couldn't find any textbox to sign in my name with the tildes.

Hello. You sign your name by typing ~~~. I recommend creating an account first.

Dearest Smokizzy:

You summarily reverted my edit of Rivonia Trial on NPOV grounds and kindly invited me to comment here.

The original edit read "acts of sabotage designed to overthrow the apartheid system." My edit read "acts of sabotage designed to overthrow the South African government which then imposed a legal system of racial discrimination called Apartheid."

This is basically the difference between saying a bomb was planted near Hitler to scare him into reconsidering his racist policies versus saying a bomb was planted near Hitler to kill him and overthrow the Nazi government because of its racist policies.

It is my understanding, right or wrong, that the ANC was explicitly revolutionary and it sought to overthrow the white minority government of South Africa whose oppressive policies, including apartheid, it found intolerable. This is widely held belief. You may certainly disagree with it. You may think the ANC were merely terrorists trying to coerce the SA government through violence. That's fine. I think they were revolutionaries. I may be wrong.

So there may be a dispute of fact as to what exactly the bombing was designed to do. However, after careful consideration, you concluded that my edit was somehow "less than neutral". Can you explain to me exactly how my edit is "less than neutral," while your preferred edit is simply "neutral"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.252.69.124 (talk) 00:17, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Smokizzy,

We are legal from PETRONAS. We noticed that the content of this Merbau Article is severely incorrect, ie. the name of the fields and the company names are not in existance. Thus, we edited it in order to avoid misrepresentation.

Please DO NOT revert the article back to initial. Or else, we will report your account to WIKIPEDIA as well.

Appreciate your understanding.

THank you.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:21, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Smokizzy,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Smokizzy! This message is to inform you that due to editing inactivity, your access to AutoWikiBrowser may be temporarily removed.

You may regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB. Thank you! — MusikBot II ^talk 20:26, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
