Yeah Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for the sandbox advice and ask if you can help me to learn how to become a member of certain groups??? or tell me some more tips for Wikipedia.

The Jewish Peril

In the United States this title never caught on.

So I think it would be better to keep a/the brief article with advice to klick on Protocols of Zion.

Anyway, may we open a discussion on it?

For the time being, I'm reverting - I hope you don't object?

Dr. Anthony Bradbury, I Presume?

Thank you for your comments!

Actually, with you being an Englishman, I presume, due to your name, and the fact that you live in England, may I tell you that I am not ONLY focused on The Jewish Peril. In fact, among my vast interests is my facination with almost everything British--especially in history, political history, and legal history. As a naturalized American, may I thank for the Magna Carta? Or how about the Instrument of Government of 1653?

So you gave us The Cause of World Unrest. And you used your spotter, Casimir Pilenas! But then His Britannic Majesty did take on the Mandate for Palestine with the enforcement of the Balfour Declaration! And your great country is responsible--for reasons which I still do not understand--for the early partition of Palestine into Transjordan .

On the last item or issue, perhaps you'd like to read about Paul S. Riebenfeld?

But right now I have to get back to Her Britannic Majesty's soverign predecessor's subject, the managing editor of the Morning Post, Howell Arthur Gwynne. His boss was the newspaper's ownder, the wife of Seymour Henry, 7th Earl Bathurst. She, by the way, was her Ladyship, the "Countess of Bathurst," Lilias, (1871-1965).

Thanks for your concern about the article. I clicked save before I had finished my first edit all the way. It might end up getting deleted anyway. but I'll try to make it better. Thanks for your vigilance. Regards, --Gphoto^talk 01:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

It's All O.K.

I don't understand what you're apologizing for.

I just thought I might share with you some articles--or direct your attention to some!

Again, you have nothing to apologize for--at least not to me.

I am sorry for having written in such a manner that you felt otherwise!

Actually, as a British subject I thought might contribute something which I do not know since I'm not a Brit!

Best Wishes, Ludvikus 16:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

PS: I'm going to apologize to you on my page as well!

re: Edit summary

Hi Anthony - firstly, I hope the RfA isn't stressing you out too much. While I don't want to give you, well, false hope, RfAs that don't reach consensus the first time often succeed on a second try (if you decide to run again, of course). Luckily, the oppose comments all seem rectifiable and areas which one could easily improve in. Now, to your question - I'm rather ambivalent about edit summaries altogether, but I don't think they really need to be used outside mainspace. Unless, of course, you're editing policy pages or something. Edit summaries in user talkspace seem unimportant on the great scheme of things... however, MathBot only calculates summary usage for mainspace edits, so I don't think the lack of summaries when you're communicating with users is bringing your percentage down. Let me know if this helps :) riana_dzasta 15:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Glad to hear it's not getting you down. Take care, and all the best :) riana_dzasta 15:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:Vandalism

Well, it's just a suggestion, and it isn't the main reason for my neutral "vote". If you think it's off-topic, I'll strike that part out. Anyway, I do think it's good to stay calm, even in extreme cases of vandalism. And I didn't mean at all to suggest that you'd sworn at or insulted the vandal. It's just that I think a good trait for an admin (or any countervandal, for that matter) is calmness in the face of vandalism. But as I said earlier, it's not really a big deal. My neutral still stands for other reasons, though. Heimstern Läufer 23:16, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Automatic edit summaries

Hi there; I have come to your page because the edit summary of the automatic edit page lists you as first contributor. If this is not so, please tell me and I'll go away. There are now several questions posted on the talk-page of this article, several, although not all, from me. Is it possible to get some answers to them?--Anthony.bradbury 00:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I created the page to document the automatic edit summaries (which initially confused me) to the best of my understanding. I had no involvement in the creation of the feature itself, and I don't know the answers to any of the questions.

I believe that Andrew Garrett is responsible for most of the recent work in this area, so you might try asking him. I'm sorry that I couldn't be more helpful. —David Levy 01:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Kewl1uk

In my opinion, the standard templates exist to inform all users, not just experienced ones. Not leaving a message would be tantamount to biting the newbie--the message I left explained why the article was deleted and provides some links the user can read to become more informed. You can use {{Firstarticle}} and then append a welcome message after it--welcome messages don't need to be the very first thing a user sees, though it is nice if it works out that way. Also, please remember to sign your posts using ~~~~. If you have any further questions, drop a line on my talk page. Cheers. -- Merope 15:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I was surprised by your not signing the comment, too! I've seen your name around the project and know you're a pretty good editor. Sorry for chastising you -- I'm not in the best mood on my Monday back from vacation. I should probably sign off before I go on a deleting rampage.  ;) -- Merope 15:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

User:209.129.220.55

Yeah, its pretty bad. This one's from the California State University Network so it may be a dynamic IP. You've given it a {{test4}} - I'll keep an eye on it and will issue a fairly substantial block on the next vandalism. Best, Gwernol 01:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Sadly not much else. The good news is we can now block IPs and allow username creation. This allows us to put much longer blocks on shared IPs than we used to as genuine users can still register and edit. I for one take full advantage of this. Best, Gwernol 01:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I've thought a lot about the whole IP editing. In the end I came down on the side of the status quo. The idea that anyone can just start editing with no overhead is important. The vandals would most likely just register anyway, so restricting editing to just registered users wouldn't make much of a dent on vandalism but might impact genuine editors. Gwernol 02:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:RFA

As someone who does, for the most part, anti-vandalism work, I understand how hard it can be to avoid biting. After looking over your explanation, and how civily you handled the switched votes(RFA's can be stressful, and keeping a Cool Head, can be difficult). I've disregarded my previous concerns over lack of Project edits, and swapped my vote back to support. Happy editing, and good luck. Canadian-Bacon 04:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Request for Adminship

It is my regretful task to inform you that your recent request for adminship failed to achieve consensus to promote, and has been closed. Please do not be discouraged; a number of users have had their first RfA end without consensus, but have been promoted overwhelmingly in a later request. Please continue to make outstanding contributions to Wikipedia, and consider requesting adminship again in the future. You may find Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship helpful in deciding when to consider running again. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to ask.

WP:Adopt

Hi there - sorry that you did not get through to be a Admin - good luck on the next try. I hope it does not decrease your enthusiasm for Wikipedia - though I hope you take full advantage of your wikibreak.

With Flameviper, the founder of WP:Adopt (see Wikipedia talk:Adopt-a-User) taking a back stage with the project, I was thinking that you might want to get more involved, and help get it really going, especially in getting it out to more noobs. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Cheers Lethaniol 13:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes I have already suggested for the Welcome template - maybe if Adoption becomes a major thing we can get it added, or maybe we should push for it now - hmmm. See Wikipedia talk:Adopt-a-User, I have started a things to do list, so that maybe we can get some direction for the project. Cheers Lethaniol 15:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Deletions

Hi there: I do not want to criticise, and i am fully aware that you were enthusiastic in your support in my recent failed RfA. But tonight, on three occasions, I have tagged articles for deletion, gone to the editors talk pages to explain why, and found that i have an edit conflict with your good self. Except for the most blatant vandalism edits - e.g. my sister f***ks the whole street while shooting dope - or near equivalent, I always put a message into the editors talk box. Trust me, I'm a doctor!--Anthony.bradbury 23:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

As do I, which is why the edit conflict occurs. We're both on new page patrol, which is fine. You can tag and warn, which is due process and I can speedily delete and warn/report, which is also due process. I don't necessarily have to tag an article and wait for an admin patrolling WP:CSD to perform the deletion. Speedy deletion candidates can be deleted without a prolonged debate. Plenty of editors don't bother with the {{nn-warn}} tags, so I am glad that you do. (aeropagitica) 23:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not criticising. Just saying that if I tag them I will warn them, so if you find an article that I have tagged you can be certain that I will warn them, and you need not do so.--Anthony.bradbury 23:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification - if only other editors were so conscientious in their patrolling! I do so because the Talk pages are red links and letting vandalism go by without acknowledgement benefits no one. Tonight's edit conflicts probably occurred as we were both patrolling the same area of the new articles list. I'm off to bed now, so the matter ends here. Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:26, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:WPNN

Could you check this WikiProject out and tell me what needs to be added? Obviously, a lot of things need to be added before it can become active, but can you tell me specifically which? Thank you. Diez2 00:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Project

To be honest, I am not certain that I can! This is a page which I have not, until now, investigated; it does seem to me to be to some extent self-explanatory. I note that you are an adoptee; do you think that your adopter is the right person to ask, or do you think that the WP:ADOPT programme does not work? I would quite like to know.--Anthony.bradbury 00:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, my adopter is not currently active, and he isn't altogether reliable. (hint: he has less than 200 edits) Thus, I've been trying to get help from other people. Diez2 00:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Anthony - if you are dealing with this issue thought I would point out that User:Rat235478683 has in total 7 adoptees. If you want bring up the issue at Wikipedia Talk:Adopt-a-User. Cheers Lethaniol 17:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC) P.S. see [1] Leth

I blanked the "History (Wonder Showzen episode)" page.

I'll reinstate it when I have more information on the subject. Cardboardboxman 14:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Greetings!

Hello, Tony. I was sorry to see that your RfA was not successful. I believe that you would have made---and will eventually make---a valuable addition to the Admin staff. I am going on Wikibreak for awhile in order to work on a script---I have decided to have myself blocked, actually, because I cannot seem to control my need to come here and play new page patroller. So, I will see you again in a month or two. Cheers! ---Charles 21:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Cut-and-paste archiving

Uh, maybe I should have been a bit clearer: you don't have to cut and paste all the sections of the talk page individually in section editing mode. If you use the "edit this page" tab at the top of the screen instead, you can do it all in one go. Melchoir 22:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
