Just occurred to me that no one welcomed you to seWP! :) fr33kman talk 01:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

[change source]

Thanks for the barnstar. One small final thing; stub templates are usually discussed first at Wikipedia talk:Simple Stub Project. There is already a stub for people {{bio-stub}} :) fr33kman talk 01:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know, that was me being stupid... It is getting deleted I presume? --The New Mikemoral (talk) 01:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll delete it for you Scratch that, the redirect is good enough :) fr33kman talk 01:52, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rollback

If you find yourself wanting rollback just ask any admin or go to WP:RFRB :) fr33kman talk 01:51, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe later. For now I am satisfied with moving pages. --The New Mikemoral (talk) 01:59, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, just wanted you to know how to request it if you needed it. You don't need to do any vandal reverts as you have it at enWP already. fr33kman talk 02:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I decided to make my main goal here to move pages (I thinks it's called TranWiki), but on enWP it is to revert vandalism and/or heavily edit pages. --The New Mikemoral (talk) 02:30, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, if you do ever need it (even for your own edits and your userspace) let me or another admin know. I think you'll like it here. We are a close community and everyone knows everyone else :) fr33kman talk 02:34, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note

To prevent bias, I would recommend that you only move hooks that you did not review to the ready to move section. Cheers, Razorflame 03:40, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done!

[change source]

I have to say well done on the Typo-Team! The vast majority of proposals here of this sort don't end up going anywhere. The usual reason is "not enough editors". I'm glad I was wrong in this case! :) fr33kman talk 04:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

[change source]

Most of my activities on enWP have been centred around dispute resolution and 99.9% of disputes end up being about sources. As such I've gotten very used to finding and using them :) (seWP can sometimes be very lacking in them) :) fr33kman talk 06:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Simple News

[change source]

Hi, you might want to write an article for WP:SN talking about the typo team and what it's going to be doing. fr33kman talk 07:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean? --The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 07:24, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Simple News is our community newspaper and it's where a lot of people write about what they are up to and what's going on with seWP. I think an article about the new typo team would probably go over well. SN has interviews with editors and admins; milestone edits (56,000 articles on seWP etc.) and other stuff that people find interesting. You might also want to write an article about yourself; your efforts in DYK, anything really as long as it's interesting. :) fr33kman talk 07:28, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Check out my talk page for the latest issue :) fr33kman talk 07:29, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I will do that. --The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 07:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

[change source]

You know, I guess it's because most of my life being a doctor is about proving things via reliable sources, but I don't get what's so hard about DYK? Find a fact, make sure it's sourced properly and nom it! :) fr33kman talk 04:52, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did I do something wrong, from an aspiring doctor. --The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 04:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No! Not that I saw. I was just saying that I think that my life as a doctor has helped me to always provide proof for anything I put forward as a fact. Evidence based medicine has become a reality of the 21st century. Even ten years ago doctors could prescribe a treatment simply because they had a "feeling" that it might help. Today, we have to have proof that it will work before we can write a prescription. I didn't know that you wanted to be a doctor. I'm an emergency doctor. I drive a ambulance most nights and attend car accidents on a regular basis. I've done more surgery in the front seat of a Ford than most surgeons do in an operating room :) fr33kman talk 05:01, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I could not be a emergency doctor. I would rather be a pediatrician. Proofs, are too geometric, and I hate geometry, it was stupid... :) --The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 05:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Proof is required no matter what kind of doctor you are today. Pediatrics, forget it; I couldn't watch kids die! I watched a 2 year old girl die three nights ago after she was beaten by her mother, I couldn't stand it on a full-time basis! :( fr33kman talk 05:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How sad . But really that is my goal, you cannot talk me out of it, although cardiology is also interesting... --The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 05:22, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, gonna be another court appearance for me! I just don't understand people who hurt kids! Baffles me! fr33kman talk 05:27, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
<sarcasm mode>What joy!</sarcasm mode> Really though, wish you luck. Ugh, what a terrible thought... A mother killing her child. Disgusting. Just a quick question, was this in the news? --The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 05:31, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen worse, sadly. It's not been in the news yet; I am expecting a reporter to call me but my answer will be the same as always; no comment! The worst things I see are rapes, at least if your abuser kills you it's over; rape lasts a lifetime! The cool thing about being a doctor is all the stuff you get to learn about society; the worst thing is all the stuff you get to learn about society! :( fr33kman talk 05:35, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ugh, that is also disgusting... But, one of my interests are learning about societal norms. Rape, child abuse, elder abuse, and murder are among the most despicable and vile things. Again, have a good day, if you can. --The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 05:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers! I've gotten used to it by now. I refuse to take it home with me! Advice I'd give any doctor or aspiring doctor! {hint} :) 05:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Well if you can... Thanks for that, too bad it's not like I cannot bring schoolwork home. Double negatives. So you use Wikipedia to not do doctor-stuff? --The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 05:56, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK (2)

[change source]

Hey there,

Firstly, welcome to the DYK community! We're still quite small and starting out, but welcome to the team!

I've just been looking over your contributions, and i'd just like to raise a couple of things if I may? Don't take them as criticisms... you are doing great work overall! It's just a few niggles that have been brought up by others in the past.

Please don't move hooks to the Next Update page that you have reviewed or nominated. This is simply to ensure that accuracy and reliability is kept, so that people don't "rush through" their own hooks or may be biased towards them for example.

Also, please don't remove hooks until they have either had at least two No's or they have become stale. The Barack Obama hook for example I did not know as a non-US resident (i'm British) - please remember this when reviewing/clerking!

As I said, only a couple of niggles, and please don't be put off!

Regards,

Goblin 18:13, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just a comment on the Obama hook. It was removed here. The New Mikemoral was the nominator of it in the first place, so I don't think this is a major issue if he's removed his own hook, especially with two official "no" comments and one "unofficial" no. Either way (talk) 18:18, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I fail :( I had a rough day yesterday and i'm still slightly hungover I think so i'm not really thinking straight! One more thing though is when you nominate picture hooks, ensure that you add (pictured) after that bolded article rather than the end of the hook. So, for example it would be:
  • ...that Foobar (pictured) is...
    • if that makes sense?!?! Cheers, Goblin 18:27, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, thanks. I will keep that in mind. Best regards, The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 20:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    No worries ;) As I said, you're doing great work and it's brilliant that you have got an interest in DYK! Cheers, Goblin 10:27, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    DYK reviewing

    [change source]

    Hello, thanks for the work you've been doing for DYK! Just a question: Are you checking if the hook is in the article and if the hook is cited by a reliable source? Because I notice most of your verifications have been things such as, "Intersting", and "Did not know that". I just want to make sure you're reviewing based off the citation, not just because it is interesting. — RyanCross (talk) 07:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    I am checking, but how else would I reply? Thanks, The New ℳikemoral♪♪♫ 22:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
