Revision as of 22:31, 3 August 2008

Note on RFA Messages: I often participate in discussions at Requests for adminship. If I have participated in your RFA, I will check the page later to see the result. I do not wish to receive a template message thanking me for my support (or opposition!). Thanks for your cooperation.

Hello Terraxos, and welcome to Wikipedia! Here are some recommended guidelines to help you get involved. Please feel free to contact me if you need help with anything. Best of luck and happy editing! Budgiekiller 10:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 22:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citation tagging

If you're going to do this [1], please put a bit more effort in next time. The quote was in the reference cited in the material before, and after, the paragraph you tagged, so it wasn't a great leap to think it might have come from that same reference (I did not know this beforehand either, but it realy is easy enough to check), especially with how wikipedia works where citations can get edit-drifted away from their original position (I'm not saying it was cited correctly before in this case, just that that is one reason not to assume that things are automatically not cited anywhere in an article, next time you tag for CN). MickMacNee (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, that statement was already cited elsewhere in the article. I simply saw it and it immediately raised a 'red flag' - I thought, "Did he really say that? If so, it needs a citation," - but I should have checked the existing citations first. Thanks for the correction. You have my apologies, and I will try to check the references before adding such tags in future. Terraxos (talk) 15:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Merely a heads up, no big deal. MickMacNee (talk) 15:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is of no interest to me, and Stephen Eyre does indeed seem to fail WP:N. Xn4 00:04, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Move of 1928 Okeechobee hurricane

Dang, I forgot about that. I guess I didn't know that other redirect existed, or I'm just tired. Apologies, Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestions. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:27, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday, you rightly removed Hans Köchler's Lockerbie trial observer mission from the "See also" section of Patrick Haseldine because the biography made no mention of the Lockerbie bombing. Today, that deficiency has been remedied and you might therefore wish to re-add the Köchler link to the article. You might also be interested to see this discussion on the article's talk page.PJHaseldine (talk) 12:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious as to why you would tag an article with a reference section with the unreferenced template rather than the citations template. From where I sit that seems a little wierd, but before I go correcting what I percieve to be a error in tagging I wanted to get your opinion on this. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that makes more sense :) Thanks for the explination, I apreciate it. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikify template

Hi Terraxos, you responded to an RfC on template talk:wikify a few days ago, and based on your response I've both clarified the proposal and tried to channel the intent behind your response. Would appreciate if you'd read my clarification and either confirm or deny that it captures your intent. Thanks, Thirdbeach (talk) 20:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, never mind -- I was losing track of my own proposals :-( Thirdbeach (talk) 00:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Terraxos, would you consider removing the Orphan status of this article as several links have been established?
Dean Armond 07:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Please accept my apology for the typo, I have corrected this to OMER.
Dean Armond 22:56, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt response, apologies for the belated acknowledgement

TomKat

Hello Terraxos! It would be great if you could contribute your ideas to the debate on the worthiness of deleting the article TomKat, as you have previously discussed it on it's discussion page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TomKat Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.163.150 (talk) 23:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:HAU, Status, and you!

As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 23:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Israeli apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 18:11, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apartheid close

Let me just tell you, when I saw that somebody had posted on my talk page under the subject "Your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination)", I was not looking forward to seeing what they had to say. Your comments were a welcome surprise - thank you. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 01:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your AfD talkpage comments

I appreciated both the tone and content of your last comment at the AfD talkpage. I hope that my comments in response to your first comment were not overly harsh. S. Dean Jameson 02:51, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
