From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm against any sort of flagged revisions, and I think it is very hypocritical for Wikipedia to implement it (it seems they will in the near future).

Welcome to my talk page. Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page. Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end. Please use a new ==Descriptive heading== for new topics. Please indent your posts with ":" if replying to an existing topic (or "::" if replying to a reply). I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to Watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply. ⇒ Start a new Talk topic.

[edit] Upload help

Can you explain to me how to upload an image to an exisiting page? I have visited the help desk and cannot find the infor mation. Previous unsigned comment left by Ian Forry (talk · contribs)

Hi! Yeah, you go to WP:UPLOAD and the instructions are fairly simple there. For more detailed info about uploading images, you could see WP:UPIMAGE. Once you upload the image, you'd put [[File:<filename>.jpg]] to whichever article you want it on. Killiondude (talk) 02:21, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

Thanks for your note that you post on my talk area. I am doing my best to make summaries; if you see new edits, I think summaries are good, but always can improve. I like making little edits; i use wikipedia a lot for research and for a good idea of where to make look-ups for research topics, so if I see things that need edit, I like "keeping the park clean!!" Thanks you very much again! Aboudkokash (talk) 17:34, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] How?

Apparently, I reported the semi-protection request of Pizza the wrong way. In case I need to report again in future, how do I do it? Thanks.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 03:23, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello! You manually added Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests to the page, but that template is actually used by the {{editsemiprotected}} template, which is used when someone is requesting an edit be made to a semi-protected page (for IP users or people who aren't autoconfirmed yet. The simplest way to report a page for protection is to use Twinkle. You'd hit the "rpp" tab when you're visiting the article you'd like to protect, and you'd choose the appropriate options (you'd choose the "Vandalism" option under "Semi-Protection" and explain your reasoning in the large box provided. That automatically files a report at WP:RFPP. Or if you don't have Twinkle, or wanna do it by hand, I'm sure there's instructions on WP:RFPP for how to do it manually. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Killiondude (talk) 03:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I thank you for your advice. Have a nice day.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 03:32, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Organization information

Hi, how do you add basic information (date formed, address, executive director, website, etc) under the picture/logo of a page? Thank you! Arjones2010 (talk) 19:29, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I think you may be referring to an infobox. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different kinds of infoboxes. If you could point me to what article you're referring to specifically, I could help you find one :-) Killiondude (talk) 20:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

He was blocked today by Orangemike (talk · contribs). I'm not really sure what's going on with that article, if you could, would you explain to me...? Killiondude (talk) 22:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, Killiondude! Yes, I translated the article from the Russian Wikipedia. I couldn't import the image for some reason, though. KNewman (talk) 06:32, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] DYK for Hotel Woodland

On June 11, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hotel Woodland, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] What does it mean?

Hi, I would sincerely like to know what "I just nulled the template, because several users seem to be involved in your situation now. Killiondude (talk) 16:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)" means? Sorry for extra trouble but sincerely i do not know what it stands for. Warm regards Vertical.limit (talk) 06:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I added "tlx" to the {{helpme}} template to "null" it (de-activate it), since many users were involved on your talk page. Usually the helpme is used to get someone's attention, and you got a few people's already :-) Killiondude (talk) 06:52, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Richmond Bridge, London

You probably know there's a mass vandal attack on the Richmond Bridge, London article. Is anyone with blocking power looking into it? Proxima Centauri 2 (talk) 08:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] G.phanisrinivas → Srinivas

Hello, Killondude! This message is to notify that G.phanisrinivas is now known as Srinivas. --Srinivas 09:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Please help me out :) ?

I spoke with you yesterday and you were very helpful, and you said no one would delete the article, but now they are trying to.

I contested their efforts, and I am continuing to add citation sources. The person who challenges me remembers the article being flagged as spam the last time I posted it, but this is incorrect. It was flagged for speedy deletion because of notability. I have more citations to add, and the ones that are already up are pretty substantial, in my opinion, so what should I do next besides keep adding citations?

Thanks 70.109.255.97 (talk) 16:19, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Orangemike (talk · contribs) has a point, in that the references you've provided appear to discuss items surrounding the person you're writing about, rather than talking about what he's done. I skimmed through the one online article about him, and that one seems to be okay (it talks about items surrounding him, but also discusses him somewhat), but the titles of the other references suggest that they don't discuss the person directly. So you need to provide a few more third party sources that talk about him. Killiondude (talk) 17:48, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting

Thanks for helping me out earlier this weak, could you tell me how to align normal text to the right?--Launchballer (talk) 12:39, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

A fellow Wikipedian just told me about the {{align}} template. Its quite nifty for that purpose :-) Killiondude (talk) 03:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Malik Ram

Hello Killiondude

Very many thanks for looking at the article I have been working on. The citations you have mentioned at the bottom of the article are all copied and pasted from Wikipedia itself. I just typed in 'Malik Ram' and that is what came up and I copied and pasted it at the bottom of my article, as I thought they would provide the reader with links to pages on Wikipedia which refer to Malik Ram. Perhaps you can help me here. As you have gathered, I am a novice in the field and would like to submit the article for consideration as a Featured Article but just don't know how to go about it. Again, any help would be much appreciated.--Zananiri (talk) 10:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Acceptable References

"Some blogs and other self published sources are acceptable "when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications. That is from WP:SPS. Forgive me, but I'm nulling the template (if you need more help, just post it again). Killiondude (talk) 06:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)"

[1] I need to check a source. Is this source acceptable? [2] = ) thanks in advance, Swancookie (talk) 01:38, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I didn't read the discussion on the talk page, but I did check out the source. I read the "about us" page on their site, and looked around on their main page. As site ran by fans, and somewhat as a "blog"-type format, I am not sure this can be considered a "reliable source". The webmasters of that site could post anything they wanted, and aren't held to any sort of "fact checking standard" which is really why there is this guideline on what sources should be used. Killiondude (talk) 08:52, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

OK, still learning here. Would this be acceptable instead ? =) Think I'm slowly getting the hang. The L Word Episode Guide . Season 3, Episode 8 TV.com
