Transclusion

I'm not sure if this is the right way to go about it but I'm looking for some help: I'm involved in a new wiki for the European Nutrigenimocs Organiation (NuGO). We're using Mediawiki software and one of the objectives is to build a metabolomics database. I'm modelling the infobox for each compound on the drugbox template from Wikipedia and I was hoping to get some help developing a shortened form. I can't find any directions on how to do this - transclude the template without all the syntax but instead with just the simple line of '| field = ', as you showcased in the drugbox template.

Are there instructions on this somewhere? Or could you perhaps set up a small example on our wiki. It's access restricted at the moment until we run some trials but if you have the time to help out, I'll create an account for you.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Look mate, the post I'snt just about me, and what I have done. You know nothing apart from what you have seen backloging through what I have done under this account name. The issue here conserns everyone, or I wouldn't have posted it on a public page. Dfrg.msc 07:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

My point is: this is a universal issue, not just me complianing about what I have had deleted. Its about the gratiouitous deletion of articles; not confined to any one group or single person. And backloging through my contributions under this account name isnt going to prove or disprove anything.

about you

Holy God!

After going again to ← that talk we were having on wikipedia talk:disambiguation

I've just noticed there are a lot more about you I wanted to know! :P

Just like when I met User:EliasAlucard, few hours ago. o_O

But your webpage has so little about you, and I still could find so many coincidences!

I really wish we could talk, I believe we have a lot to learn from each other.

For example: I'd love to build a simple page like yours, instead of the mess I have on mine right now. :P

Try to find me on Google Talk if you also want to, it's not too difficult. :)

Or maybe on WoW's Blizard game. (I'm heading to there now). XD

Maramec Spring Park

I saw the link you added to Meramec River article referencing the non-existent Maramec Spring Park article. Are you working on that article? I was thinking of starting one up myself, but if you're working on it, I'll wait and see what you come up with, though I'd be inclined to just name the article Maramec Spring. Whatever, I have some pictures I can upload for it. -- 04:44, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

No, I'm not working on this article. I came to the set of dab pages for the homonyms of 'meramec' via a set of information I'm working on that included a reference to "Merrimack Pharmaceuticals", so my actions were related to general cleaning of a related set of disambiguation pages. Please create and edit the article as you see fit. Courtland 05:00, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

20 week break

Yes, of course, this solves much. Not sure I can do that, however. How 'bout 2 weeks? :-) By then I will have forgotten all about this page anyway. :-) By the way, how'd you get your sig to not have a link here? Is that on purpose? Makes it harder to talk with you, ya know? Tedernst | talk 22:39, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Interesting on your sig. And yes, I understood you mean 20 weeks away from that article. Catherine Munro made a similar recommnedation just now in a different section of the page. I forget about pages within days if they don't show up on my watchlist, so just backing away for 2 days is probably enough. :-) Tedernst | talk 22:58, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Signature

I noticed that your signature does not link to your user page, which I'm assuming is deliberate. I'd like to ask that you consider having at least one character link to your user page or talk page, or perhaps if you don't mind you could let me know why you don't wish to do so? Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I hope I didn't come across as being bossy. I understand your desire to avoid excessive conversation, although I still feel that one should have a link to some personal page, as you have done in your last message to me (although if you disagree, I am not going to cause any trouble for you or anything). Your other reason makes sense as well. Linking to your talk page seems to be a good way around that obstacle, or if you prefer you could link to a user subpage instead. Whatever you wish. Thanks for being receptive! — Knowledge Seeker দ 03:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

ACC merge

Hi Ceyockey,

At the end of the last year, about 2 weeks ago, you proposed merging Adaptive cruise control into Cruise control. I agree with you on this one, and I think its been long enough that anyone who wants to oppose it would have (since CC is so controversial!). Thus, I am planning to make this my Merge of the Day coming up soon, unless for some reason you want to do it yourself. (I'm sorta new to wikipedia, but I've noticed from lurking around talk pages that people here can be very territorial. So I figured, better safe than sorry, don't wanna 'steal someone's thunder'.... probably i'm just being silly) The pi pirate 01:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

88th Regiment of Foot

Hello,

I just stumbled across List of Regiments of Foot. It looks as though this edit of yours added added the template for 88th Regiment of Foot into the list. However, it looks as though that also included this article in Category:Disambiguation. I edited 88th Regiment of Foot so that the category was bracketed by <noinclude></noinclude> tags. I *think* that this has resulted in the category not appearing in the List of regiments article. I'm not sure if you are still using this approach to sub dab pages or not, but thought you might be interested. older ≠ wiser 02:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Revisiting the Cork-as-city primacy question

Hi. I noticed that some time back you suggested on Talk:Cork (disambiguation) reconsidering whether Cork should be for the city or the material, if I understood correctly.

"Pathogenisis" in regards to Asthma attacks or Asthmatics

Does the word "pathogenisis" as used in the Asthma article mean, the onset of an asthma attack, or is it something to do with the hypothesis that when a supos'ed non-asthmatic is realised to be an asthmatic, that person has stopped being a non-asthmatic rather than simply being recoginised as not being so having been asthmatic all along. Alec - U.K. 10:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I have never heard of tissue remodeling being a form of asthma before. Are you sure that asthma is not being confused with COPD. I gather that C.O.P.D. is a syndrome whereas asthma is not. Alec - U.K. 06:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Asthma Medication

Do you think there is enough infomation on drugs in development to be an article not part of the main "Asthma" article? The main article on Allergic asthma is already longer than the recomended length for articles. Alec - U.K. 15:52, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hi, just to let you know, I moved your request to the top of the page, since it is the most recent to be included on the page (I am assuming you inserted it into the order based on the "Schedule to end" time). The RfA doesn't actually start until you (the nominee) include it on that page, so you can (should) change your scheduled ending time to the time that you transcluded the page. Good luck! -- Renesis (talk) 03:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I did say that a little wrong. What I meant to say is to change the scheduled ending time to a week from the time you included your page at the main RFA page. (For you this should be 03:12 December 14, 2006.) This step is listed at the instructions, #3. Otherwise, your RFA would end 3 days early (because the nomination was created 3 days ago) You should probably change it soon to avoid any controversy! -- Renesis (talk) 04:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Your AfD nomination for Koara (disambiguation)

I see you've nominated Koara (disambiguation) for deletion on AfD. However, you've not done the nomination properly, which results in the AfD template on the article linking to the first AfD, and have both the old and new nomination on the current AfD log.

Your oppose vote on my RfA

You make a good point there. I wasn't aware of the Wikipedia:List of policies and am extremely grateful to you for pointing it out. I've often wished such a thing existed and lo and behold, it does! As for your comment on my wording ("'"Policy" to me is ...'") in my defence I would say that since your question was posed as "What does WP:IAR mean to you? Also, could you say something about the distinction between policy and guideline?" my understanding was that the "means to you" was applicable to both parts of the question. Perhaps my understanding there was faulty. Again though, thanks for your constructive criticism. Regards, Tonywalton  | Talk 10:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

J.C. Bailey

I saw you added a note on Booyakadell's page regarding the impending deletion of this page. The prod tags have been removed without any real reasoning, merely an edit summary of "fixed". Additional information has been added to the article, but in my opinion he still doesn't meet notability requirements. He wrestles for small independent groups, doesn't appear on TV and has no inherent notability. I don't know if you want to speedy delete it, or put it up for Afd. I would have put it up for Afd myself, only due to being an anon I'm not able to create the discussion page so I didn't want to just do half a job.

Victoria Lanz

Greetings Thank you for their patience

I believe an I articulate titled "Victoria Lanz" in Spanish which was accepted to be published in Spanish Wikipedia. It is of interest that can settle down in other such languages as English, Portuguese and Italian since the person to which reference is made in the article is international and she has worked in all the countries that they speak those languages. I don't possess bigger knowledge of the tools and norms to publish an article and much less in different languages but it is necessary that readers of different areas of the world can enjoy an article in their native language or at least in one universal. As for that the person of the article is not "notable" allows me to tell him that for us her if she is important because in Venezuela we don't possess a great variety of women that they are devoted to this profession and to be the first one in this activity she is of importance to place it like a reference in each one of those languages. Please, up to now alone I translated my I articulate original in Spanish to English, I would like to copy it in the English languages, Portuguese and Italian that are the languages that the readers use. Since you the experts know the rules I request them some patience and they help me to place these articles in English, Portuguese and Italian, their collaboration is very grateful.

Kiwi from the BPD stuff

Hi Ceyockey. I have been having a whale of a time trying to get back to all the great people who have, bless your souls, all gotten involved in this experiment of Zeraeph's. You see, the day after Christmas when I woke up and found what had happened - vast amounts of (mostly) brand new material (done just the day before, on Christmas) had been effectively deleted by placing it inline.

Of course, it made it not QUITE as demoralizing as when she simple deletes it like she usually does, but it STILL represented a huge challenge. Namely, what were we (the BPD editors) to deal with this situation when we would not be allowed to simply put it back in the article.

The reason I did what I did was because I was following advice from 3 different admins (don't yell at them) - see update here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#undermining_wikipedia_in_articles.

I am very very pleased to have Calton restore the inlined text, telling us that the Talk Page was the place to discuss improvements to the article. Actually, I had been hoping that discussion WAS a Wiki governing principle, but while one admin called her RUDE, not a single person suggested reverting what she had done in her "experiment" --Kiwi 10:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, Ceyockey, for the rounding off the discussion. I wasn't irritated at how things played out. I got SO many suggestions for how to handle it, that I recognized there was ZERO policy on dealing with something like this, so the best I could do was do what seemed (at the time) a feasible way for editing to continue. I have been out of pocket today, but did manage to start accumulating a stack of citations. Takes a bit of time, then you sort out what looks to be the best... and so on.

I didn't mind being the one things were addressed to -- for it WAS me who was doing the actions to salvage things. The only thing I had wanted to point out was MY efforts were secondary to what was an experiment that I did not feel waw the best way to advance early raw edits into polished finished edits.

Thanks again (to all) for not fussing at any of the admins who attempted to give advice. :o) --Kiwi

The Ant Bully (TV series)

I'm a bit puzzled with your actions on this. If the article is obviously a vandal prank and a G5 candidate, shouldn't it just be deleted? I've stuck speedy tags on articles in AfD's before, usually the article gets zapped if it qualifies for the CSD category it's being tagged for, a lot of AfD's end early like that.

Unblock and Undelete

Thank you for the unblock. The undelete is not necessary. I have continued to edit the articles in Microsft Word. Copyright should no longer be an issue at all. Thanks again!

I'm confused

I accidently put up one page that had not yet been modified and almost immediately deleted it. The other pages have completely new text. I don't understand why they fall under Copyright infringement. How are these articles any different than those for other books?

Can we try this another way?

Is the author of the book permitted to submit these articles himself, thereby putting all these Copyright issues to rest? --Hoffa_Fett 01:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletion

Why not? The articles were both spam and copyvios. They were new and didn't have a complicated history. They should actually have been marked {{db-copyvio}} rather than {{copyvio}} anyway. Any admin going through the page will see redlinks and figure they were deleted anyway. I'm failing to see the drawback here. Mak (talk) 04:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

To clarify, the articles were really deleted because they were spam, which is why I didn't think it was worth it for anyone to have them go through the copyright permissions process. Mak (talk) 05:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The missing link

Hi... You were involved in a wild edit of sorts when some advice I gave was apparently bent, folded, spindled and mutilated (see above section there). I'm trying to mentor A Kiwi a bit, and am informally wearing my member's advocate hat regarding a dispute which in part triggered her 'experimentation', which was an attempt at reconstruction, but by whichever term her effort is called, I can't seem to find this "Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#undermining_wikipedia_in_articles" referenced discussion. A link you dropped at least twice. I've been through archives 165 to 172, which would have to nail the date somewhere along the way. Was this perhaps on WP:AN and not on AN/I, and if not, can you recollect what was near it presumably on the 27th-28th (Assuming someone has changed the section title). For your convienience, this would seem to be the center of the likely date range. If you can locate and drop the link on Fabartus, I would really appreciate it.

As I'm one of the more active admins on the Genealogy Wikia (which partly explains why I'm a fairly inactive admin here), I'm looking at what's here so that we link properly (except where we want a much more detailed article and may therefore copy and expand).

Your Template:List of genealogical software interested me. Very few links to it. Can you shortcut my research by explaining why it's a template instead of just a list?

Another page that you started, List of genealogy portals, has external links shown separately instead of with the now farly standard use of piped links; I wondered whether there was a good reason for that or whether it was just that you were very new to WP and hadn't mastered piped links... - until I noticed that you did that less than a year ago. Can you remember the real reason?

Kind regards to you and the retrievers.

Template:Hostname

Why are you adding it to numerous anonymous IP addresses? --PaxEquilibrium 16:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

None at all. It was just an inquiring information-seeking question. Cheers and happy New Year (a little late, though). --PaxEquilibrium 23:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Metabolomics

Someone rewrote history to give Arthur Robinson the entire credit for metabolomics ("conceived"?). I saw that you earlier wrote the original history section[2]. I took a quick shot at what I thought was more balanced treatment, but you appear closer to the subject. Given the hagiographic nature of the earlier edit on AR, the subject area, and the 20th century's progress, I would really appreciate your review, edits, references and comment. Thank you.--24.237.220.17 04:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Help over at CAT:CSD

Hi, and congrats on your promotion! Per this discussion, I'm dropping a friendly note to some of the recently-promoted admins requesting help with speedy deletions. I am not an administrator, so if you don't feel comfortable diving into deletions - or if you need more info - please don't come to me, but I'm sure that Cyde Weys would be happy to guide you if you want to help. Any help is great, but I'm sure that Cyde and others would deeply appreciate it if you could put the page on your watchlist and do a bit of work there on a regular basis? Maybe weekly? Thanks in advance! Oh and if you're already working away on CSD please disregard this message; it's not meant as a slight against any hard work you're already doing. Cheers!

Advice requested

Hi Ceyockey. I've been attempting to overview and tidy up the geography cats which involve the places where people live. There appear to be two useful ways of doing it - by region, and by size. And these can operate side by side quite usefully. Organising by region isn't a problem. But organising by size has become difficult because User:Hmains uses the term settlements to cover all sizes of communities, and has altered dictionary definitions [3] to fit his own understanding of the term - [4]. Community appears to be the term used most often to describe the places where people live, regardless of size. This is the definition of community - [5]. Hmains has reverted much of my work, and insists on settlements being the term we should use - basing it on this decision, which was a declined proposal to rename Settlements by region to Populated places by region. What do you think? Is settlement an acceptable term for covering human communities ranging from well established cities down to refuge camps. Is Human community a viable alternative? Are there other choices (apart from populated places of course!)? I have started a discussion here and here, with the above wording, but no response as yet. I have left this message on the talk pages of active Geography Project members. And then on this page. I am a bit lost as the best place to discuss this issue. I don't want to delete or rename any category. And I don't want to get into a revert war. I'd like an open debate to reach sensible consensus. I'm now leaving this message on the pages of WikiProject Category members. Can you advise? SilkTork 19:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

NAFION : Featured Article Potential ?

This question was raised in the discussion. I am willing to help, particularly about the environmental significance (reduced mercury pollution, energy consumption, fuel cells). I just finished the draft for a book "Fluorinated Ionomers". W.Grot 151.197.54.195 21:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikilink Removal

Okay, so I have a procedural question. Recently, I noticed that after deleting an article, you found what linked to that article and removed the wikilinks. My question is: why? Is it policy? If so, what is the reasoning for this policy?

I understand why red links are unsightly on introductory wikipedia pages. They falsely give an image of unproffesionalism from the standpont of non-wikipedians. But having red links is useful in many situations where it is not a high-profile page. This is because as the presence of such links accumulate, the underlying need to have an article at that page becomes much more clear. In the absence of a reply at my talk page, I plan to reinstate the wikilinks to the deleted page. Thanks for your time. — Eric Herboso 23:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I only mentioned changing if you didn't reply because I noticed your disclaimer saying you were on 'permanent wikivacation'. I just wanted an out in case a week went by without a response.

I noticed your removal of wikilink to Robin Raven in The Education of Max Bickford, though you also did the same in The Third Nail. Personally, I would prefer having the red link present, even though the article it would link to has been recently deleted per consensus on AfD. But I'm unfamiliar with Afd procedures, and so do not know if what you did is perhaps consensus, or if it just something you thought would be appropriate. — Eric Herboso 00:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD templates

Just a quick, friendly note to notify you about closing out AfD's. Because of bot and other technical (.js etc) reasons, the templates are placed right at the top, and not below the header (fix). WP:DELPRO#Header and footer text explains it better than I can (see just above that, as well). Cheers, and thanks for closing those tricky debates no-one else wants to :), Daniel Bryant 08:53, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Delaware Region

Please see the Delaware Discussion Page for my comment about citing a source for a change in Delaware's region. HokieRNB 13:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree with your analysis and appreciate your redaction. My edit yesterday wasn't unthinking, but it was hasty and certainly not approached as thoroughly as my edits today. HokieRNB 23:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

List of songs containing covert references to real musicians

You may want to weigh in at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 April 15#List of songs containing covert references to real musicians, since you were involved in a previous discussion of this article. - Jmabel | Talk 05:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

copyright concerns with Frederick John Gladman

You removed my speedy delete template from Frederick John Gladman. While the copying may not be verbatim sentence-for-sentence, nearly all of the phrasing is almost identical to that page. Please take another look and compare the phrasing. If you are still not convinced I will list the article at afd and get other opinions. -- Diletante 00:15, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

There is an excellent possibility that Diletante, Dhartung and Darksun are personalising issues against me, and really don't care about Gladman, Cliff Turney or any of many things I've done. I respect that I'm a learner/user right now, but I'm concerned that worthy subjects are being deleted because I'm incompetant and ugly, not because they aren't worthy. DDB 00:43, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Requested deletion

Yes, I did request deletion for it. I don't think I need it anymore... The Hippie 00:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, wait, nevermind. Sorry, I mistaked it for something else. No, I didn't request it for deletion. The Hippie 00:53, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

It's all right. Didn't need it anymore anyway. Thanks. The Hippie 00:56, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Undeleted? @_@ You've confused me! I didn't want it anymore! Oh well. If I'm causing you trouble (and if you haven't deleted it again) just leave it undeleted until I find some use for it. The Hippie 00:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
