Question

Hi Clementina, after re-reading WP:RBK it says that if I have Rollback on another wiki I'll be granted the permission and that all other requirements need not be met, although I have met the other requirements. Regards, Fridae'§Doom | Tea and biscuits? 02:13, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, dear Fridae! :) Glad to see you on here again. You are right: the last time you applied, though, you were not autoconfirmed yet (besides the concerns other admins had about your having a need for the tool). I would like to give it to you, but I just want to check with you about this reversion - I think the last version was actually less POV, don't you? It would have been an incorrect use of rollback if it had been applied in this case. I just want to make sure. :) Love, —Clementina talk 02:19, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh well I had also added that the version before my revert was a nonsensical change. I agree, as you can see on enwiki I use rollback sparingly and careful :) Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 02:28, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All right. I've assumed good faith and given you the rollback tool. You will stick around and help us out, right? ;) Please read this page very carefully, as our rollback is a little different from en's. :) Love, —Clementina talk 02:38, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will do Clementina :) I won't let you down. Take care. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 02:44, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not to be a royal pain, but does Simple Wiki have Importers? I want to import some community managed scripts from there to here. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 03:09, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is an importer policy. πr² (talk • changes) 03:12, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All admins can import pages too.--Gordonrox24 | ^Talk 03:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(<-) ^Thanks, Pie and Gordon. You're right, this is what you were looking for. ;) I'm sorry, Fridae, but I don't think you can have the tool right now, though - importers have to have a minimum of 200 changes and community consensus (and with all that, a bureaucrat, not an administrator, will have to grant the tool). :) It's just a temporary tool though, after the task is done you'll have to give it back. (Personally, I prefer simply copying and attributing - things get better simplified that way.) —Clementina talk 03:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Clementina. You can do it manually, and it works just as well :) --Gordonrox24 | ^Talk 03:19, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(change conflict) x4 Thanks, I didn't know that. I just wanted AutoEd on Simple Wiki since its functionality would also serve some use here. I guess I'll copy and paste it here if it doesn't already exist. I guess it is simpler :) Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 03:21, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, not to be a bother, but could you review my hook for DYK at T:TDYK? I'm still unfamiliar with the policies that govern Simple Wiki so please don't hesitate to tell if I have done something wrong :) Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 07:17, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've done fine. :) The rules here for DYK are pretty simple, but since I've approved it, someone else will have to move the hook to the queue. Thanks for your help here, dear Fridae! —Clementina talk 07:34, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aww thanks :) I'll try my best. When you and Sonia say that this Wiki has a lovely community you are far from being wrong, I love it here! —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 22:56, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(<-) Really? I'm so glad to hear that!! :) Do ask me if you have any questions, but otherwise just be bold and jump in, you're doing great so far. I tend to watch the RC more than my watchlist here - one of the nicest things about Simple is that you can actually read and keep track of things as they go along. And PGA and VGAs need some work too..hint, hint. ;) Love, —Clementina talk 08:39, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see Simple is very much similar to enwiki :) I might have a look at PGA and PVGA, but I could sure fix up some problems as I see them that's probably the one thing I haven't screwed up :) Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 10:08, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See my response for you PGA for Gettysburg Address. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 22:39, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In case you're not watching the PGA entry I've made a response there. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 01:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

		The Teamwork Barnstar
		For Clementina for her work as part of the "Did You Know" team. This small group of editors make suggestions, check the facts, offer improvements, and make sure there are always new DYK hooks to go onto the main page. Keep up the good work. Peterdownunder (talk) 11:55, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the kind barnstar, dear Peterdownunder! :) Love, —Clementina talk 12:39, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		Thanks for being a helpful and newbie-friendly administrator and for all the help you gave me in my first weeks of activity. —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 01:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Clementina :) Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 01:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, I'm flattered. :) Thanks ever so much Fridae! I was far from expecting something like this, and I'm truly glad I was able to help. Love, —Clementina talk 02:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, you're welcome. The Gettysburg Address is ready for GA IMO. :) Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 03:30, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gettysburg Address now a good article

I've gone ahead and made the Gettysburg Address a good article, the references still need to be addressed but are often overlooked, I see no major problems with the article and no one has raised any objections so I don't see why not. Keep up the good work Clementina. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 04:53, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful, thank you for letting me know, Fridae. :) Love, —Clementina talk 05:00, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anytime! Nice work on the article Clementina :) Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 10:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sodium tellurate

I was going to create it, then saw that sodium tellurate had no article on en! You can move it. I asked on en:WP:RD/S#Sodium tellurate. --Chem ical interest (talk) 13:25, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay,

Done. If it doesn't exist, though, it might have to be deleted as it won't be moved to mainspace. Give me a call if that ever happens! ;) If it does exist, maybe you can create an article about it on en! :) Have a beautiful day (or night for me), —Clementina talk 13:31, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Hi Clementina. Thanks for the welcome. If you have time I'd love it if you could take a look at the article I just created to make sure it complies with the rules and guidelines here. I mostly work over at en:, but thought that a version of this article that wasn't so mathematically daunting would be helpful. Thanks, 28bytes (talk) 06:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was just looking over it—it looks positively fantastic for a first try! :) I don't think there's much for me to do, though: you simplified it so well I could actually read it (gasp! That's a first - Clementina being able to read a math article!). I'll take a look at it and ~~trash your lovely article~~ see what I can do to help, though. Welcome once more, dear 28bytes! Warmly, —Clementina talk 06:13, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Clementina. I look forward to your ~~trashing~~ review. 28bytes (talk) 06:28, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trashed. I'm sorry I couldn't do more, but you really did write it very well - there wasn't much to do (you even added "other websites" instead of "external links"!). :) —Clementina talk 06:42, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bare URL

Hi Clementina, thanks for your note. A bare URL is one where you get a http:// and all the URL exposed to the reader rather than a link which has a title. This may be caused by embedding links within the templates. Once I'm done copyediting the prose, I'll tackle the technical issues! The Rambling Man (talk) 09:44, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see; thank you! :) Yes, it's probably because of embedding them in the templates. I'll take a look at them, but when it comes to techy stuff, I'll probably come to the limit of the small changing sphere in my power. Anyway, your help on the article in both prose and technical issues, is very much appreciated, thanks once again! Love, —Clementina talk 10:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hoping to get it done in the next hour or so, then I'll be happy to support its promotion. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you like, you could work on linking some of the terms in this quote: "so completely that he could recast abstract issues of constitutional law in Biblical terms, making the proposition that Texas and New Hampshire should be forever bound by a single post office sound like something right out of Genesis". It's not simple at all! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How could I have let a sentence like that stay in the Simple English Wikipedia? Shame on me - I'd be delighted to fix it. Which section is it in? —Clementina talk 11:38, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lincoln's sources, para 2. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:55, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(<-) Fixed (somewhat). Really, there's nobody in the wiki-world your equal in finding those important little details, TRM. ;) Warmly, —Clementina talk 12:13, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I'm a little at a loss as to how to cope with those bare URLs though... The Rambling Man (talk) 12:36, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm reading the discussion correctly, it seems like it's fixed while I was asleep. :D So there's one problem fixed.. —Clementina talk 12:53, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I managed to get an enwiki mediawiki expert to lend a hand! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:27, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trout.

You asked for it! :) No, I think your changes are good, I just couldn't resist the trout. Not that you need a trout! :) --Gordonrox24 | ^Talk 03:27, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aww! :) *enjoys the tingling sensation where the slimy, smelly trout hit her* Thank you for the deliciously fishy gift! ;) Love, —Clementina talk 03:36, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aw come on, that's not a proper trout!

Whack!

Do not take this seriously. Someone wants to let you know you did something silly!

Now that's more like it! :) Set Sail For The Seven Seas 302° 36' 0" NET 20:10, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are far less merciful than Gordonrox, I see. *pulls fish scales out of hair* Oh well, I guess I deserve it for being a beany-brain. Now what I do with this big trout? Fry it? —Clementina talk 03:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm not merciless, you asked for it!

Also, you could always have a fish fight!

Oh, while I'm here, could you carry out my request at MediaWiki talk:Common.css since barely anyone has Category:Wikipedia protected edit requests on their watchlists! In fact, there are way more editors watching your talk page than Category:Wikipedia protected edit requests! Thanks!

Set Sail For The Seven Seas 314° 12' 15" NET 20:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(<-big dent in my head from getting hit by two trouts) Sure, a fish fight sounds fun! Bring it on! ;) As for the MediaWiki request - I'm not all that great with MediaWiki, so I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put your addition (at the..top? bottom? middle? of the page?) without messing it up. *Looks down and hopes desperately for some mediawiki-learned TPS to spring out and save the day* It would be great if you could provide a link or diff to a sandbox which contains the entire code of the template, with the required changes (yeah, I know, I'm so lazy :p). Best, —Clementina talk 01:10, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done - see MediaWiki talk:Common.css, or you could just copy over User:Thesevenseas/common.css to MediaWiki:Common.css. Since you said you're lazy,

enjoy! Set Sail For The Seven Seas 219° 27' 45" NET 14:37, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May I help you?

In reference to your last message, my link was not a "spam" link.. i placed it in there purely for educational purposes for others readers information as i clearly stated. I am not and never will be a spammer, i just want to make myself clear on the topic. Im trusting this will be understood now by yourselves and you will allow my links. regards Andrew.

Hello, dear Andrew! :) I'm happy and relieved that you didn't mean it as spam. But your explanation for the link ("Everything you need to know about the Violin including sheet music,video's and articles, literally thousands of pages dedicated purely to this amazing instrument.") was not neutral, and the link appeared to be a blog about violin lessons. I'm sorry, but we have to be very careful about links, especially on important articles such as Violin. When you are not sure whether the link should be added or not, you can try asking about it on the talk page and discuss with other editors. :) And by the way, you can type four tildes (~~~~) to sign your name when you write comments on talk pages. I hope this helps. Warm regards, —Clementina talk 03:38, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Barnstar

Thank you very much for the barnstar! I found it very encouraging. Your positive attitude is always helpful around here. Kansan (talk) 17:14, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind remark, Kansan - coming from such an admirable editor, it really means a lot to me. :) Please keep up the lovely work you do! Sincerely, —Clementina talk 03:38, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
