It has not been the allocated amount of time yet.

Multiple Reverts

[change source]

Hi. How were you reverting multiple edits at a time? When I have to revert multiple instances of vandalism, the only way I know how to do it is to go to an older saved version, click edit, and then save - so it's note really "reverting". 201.45.216.114 (talk) 21:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

new sig

[change source]

I want to see if this will work:

  • Lose the box
  • I would like to keep both the cross and Book Antiqua font
  • This Time I would like the text, starting with the cross, to gradient between Navy and Columbia blues twice ending beginning and ending with navy (navy, columbia, navy, columbia, navy)
  • Same links (User, Talk, Contribs.)

Thanks in advance.--    ChristianMan16  23:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doing the gradient twice might not look very much like a gradient, so I've done it once. Hope you don't mind:

Runningblader,In Anti-Vandlism Project 19:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is very rare that the Main Page gets vandalised. The last time it was vandalised was back in December 2007.--  Lights  talk  21:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If people are crazy about vandalizing pages thats what they will do. They will aim at big things. Runningblader in Anti-Vandalism Project 00:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(unindenting) Usually and vandal vandalises on the first day they created their account, and if it's a vandalism only account, then it would get blocked. If a vandal waits until their fourth day, reverting is simple, and if it becomes a problem, then full protection could be proposed.--  Lights  talk  00:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This has already been discussed way back. --Gwib -(talk)- 00:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Romania and other various oddities

[change source]

Hi there! What I am about to request is two-fold: I recently gave this article a complete rewrite, and I was wondering if you could look it over and simplify it for me please? I am trying to get this article to GA status, and I am in need of opinions. The other thing that I would like you to possibly do for me is to add the Government section from the English Wikipedia onto this article. I don't even want to bother with that part as that is actually a bit hard for me to comprehend, and if I can't comprehend it, then I can't simplify the language. Please wait until after I add the Geography section to do this (I am about to add the geography section now).

One of the oddities that I would like to tell you is this: Could I ask if you could give Wikipedia:Editor review a look? Not necessarily at my review, but I believe that other editors could really use a look of things from your point of view, and I believe that you are a good person to review other editors. I also would like to say that I think we should make the Wikipedia:Editor review page more easily accessable to all editors because there are some editors that I would love to review, but it seems as though they haven't noticed the Wikipedia:Editor review page. I will write a message to the Simple Talk page about this last point, and about a proposal to add a link to Wikipedia:Editor review on the main page.

Another point that I would like to make is this: What happened to your article creation? Earlier in this year, you were creating a ton of articles, yet now, you are hardly creating any articles? Why is this? I miss creating articles with you :(.

What did you think of the massive outbreak of sockpuppet creation? Pretty interesting, huh?

I've been hard at work creating articles for the rivers of Romania, but I am nowhere near being completed with them. There are 8,324 articles total in en:Category:Rivers of Romania, and our category Category:Rivers in Romania only has 423 articles. I guess this means that I have a lot of articles to create :).

Gwib recently said that I need to focus more on creating longer stubs and that I also need to work on expanding articles. He says that I shouldn't be creating as many short stubs as I have been. What is your take on this? Do you think that I should start creating bigger articles? The rationale that I gave Gwib for the reason why I create short stubs is because of the fact that I believe that even though I am creating short articles, at least I am working towards building an encyclopedia. What's the point of creating bigger articles now if it is a) not my forte, and b) they'll get created sooner or later. That is not to say that I haven't created some longish articles in the past (Induction and Gravitation are the two that come to mind). Do you think that I don't create big enough stubs? I believe that all articles that I create are not a waste of time, and that they help to increase the comprehensiveness of this Wikipedia and that they are inherently notable. What do you think?

Ok, I've waited enough of your time with this message. I really just need someone to talk to :) Thanks for reading this long message. Cheers, Razorflame 01:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that you like creating articles on Canda, and I would like to ask if you would be interested in joining the Wikiproject Geography? The WikiProject Geography has a subWikiProject called WikiProject Canada, which I believe you might be interested in joining. Cheers, Razorflame 01:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
