Sources

Hi, I saw you mentioned on the article drive page that you're interested in collecting sources. I was wondering, as you've been so helpful to me since I joined, if you could assist me and go over the Star Trek page I've been working on and give me a few pointers on what sources I might need and where? If you do have time, this would be a massive help to me and my drive to get the Star Trek pages all cleaned up, and would help me know where to put in sources in other pages. :) FrancesO (talk) 11:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Would you be so kind as to find some sources for some of the unsourced claims in Romania for me please? I suck at finding references. Cheers, Razorflame 03:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

GA nom

Hey Fr33kman, I´ve made some comments on your proposed GA nomination. Hope they help. The Rambling Man on tour (talk) 21:48, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Username block

Sorry, I didn't see that you had already blocked him, I would have talked to you first. I added something to the blacklist. If I'm remembering my regex right, it shouldn't have false positives. --Werdan7^{T @} 01:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Okay I don't get it. Why did hotcat say it was an F-type asteroid when it actually added Category:United States government agencies???  :) fr33kman ^talk 03:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

It added both of those categories. Would you mind trying it again to see if it does the same thing? Razorflame 03:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Sure. it's also not removing the redlink cat; which I can't find in the code anywhere? fr33kman ^talk 03:38, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Worked properly that time. I swear I never even typed the word F-type into hotcat. And I don't get how that redlink cat is showing up. Can you look at the wikicode for me and see if you can see it in there. Hotcat says it can't remove it. fr33kman ^talk 03:40, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

No reason to. If it worked properly, then it should be fine. Cheers, Razorflame 03:42, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I guess that redlinked cat must be in the infobox code somewhere but I've looked and I can't find it! Can't become a GA or VGA (not that I was planning to) if it has a redlinked cat. Weird fr33kman ^talk 03:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Yep, but if the red linked category was sensible enough, you could create the category :). Cheers, Razorflame 06:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Aussie Barnstar

		The Australian Barnstar of National Merit

As to the fires - the main fire is still burning after a month, two firefighters were hurt yesterday when they rolled their firetruck. It is raining today, the first rain here for over two months, so this might help, but there is a lot of lightning which will probably start new fires. The kids at school were out dancing in the rain - it has become a novelty.Peterdownunder (talk) 07:17, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

• Salmon Rushdie: regarding you comment.. You're welcome :) I also feel the same thing when I read samples of (bible) prayers in language articles, instead I think it would be more benefiting to write a sample of Anti-discrimination, Equality, Civil rights, Kindness or human rights. Thanks again Fr33kman :) --Mahmudmasri (talk) 10:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Bot for updating wiki links?

Hello, I saw that you had deleted Nebuchadrezzar II as an unlikely spelling of Nebuchadnezzar II. Unfortunately other language Wikipedias link to the old -rezzar spelling. Do you know if there is a bot that updates these links? I know that there is a bot that adds these links, but I don't know if it checks for any changes. Thank you. LovesMacs (talk) 16:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey LovesMacs (just jumping in)

Many users run "interwiki bots" and they go through pages periodically. One such editor is Razorflame. I'm sure if you asked him he would run the bot on that page for you.

Thanks, Goblin 16:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Do you need the page restoring? I've no issues with it, I just didn't think that many English speakers would use that spelling. I agree you should ask Razorflame fr33kman ^talk 16:03, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

There's no need to restore it. Remember every wiki is separate and although one does it one way, the rest can all be different. The system will catch up eventually once an interwiki bot is run. Goblin 16:13, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, don't have access to my bot's program where I am editing currently. I would be willing to run it later tonight, however, I'm currently at school, so I cannot run it right now. Cheers, Razorflame 16:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I've restored it anyway. I've done a Google search on it, and there are enough hits to justify the rediect. Redirects are cheap and are generally considered helpful! :) fr33kman ^talk 16:13, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Simple talk

Why did you revert my changes? It is of the utmost importance that the world know I ate a salad for supper, just as knowing an editor pressed the "save" button 40,000 times. Aiuw (talk) 02:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

No it isn't. WP:ST is for discussing Wikipedia, not what you ate for dinner! fr33kman ^talk 02:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

i AM 10!!!

you have got to get it in your mind that im 10! you will regret it later when your cussing at me for some random reason on here thinking im 17, and i will be crying. i was greatly offended when you said you thought i wasnt 10 because pepole can never get that out of there heads when they hear that and then they cuss at me and cyberbully me later!!

where did the suidcide page go?

i swear i saw it a mintue ago then i replyed then when i came back it was GONE. can you put it back for me? Miyalana (talk) 08:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC) EDIT: dont worry its back, must have been a small error,

The page is still in existance. I do not understand your request fr33kman ^talk 08:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Focus

Hey Fr33kman, I don't want you to think that I'm bashing your idea on the Simple talk page. I have a weird feeling it came off that way, and I don't want it to. It's a great idea, I just want to flesh it out some more.

Respectfully, DefenseSupportParty (talk) 10:48, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Dude! No, I actually felt that you were quite supportive! My main point is that an encyclopedia, any encyclopedia, must be reliable. So reliable, in fact, that it could be cited in the Lancet! (sorry, doctor in me coming out, again...) :) fr33kman ^talk 10:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Today's user ratings

Congratulations, Fr33kman! You've received a rating of 4.5 stars today for your work on the Simple English Wikipedia! See User:Razorflame/Today's user ratings for more information! You were today's bonus 7th rating! Razorflame 18:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to thank the academy for their support, my dad for buying me my first computer, my mum for making sure I ate all my veg and my teachers who always believed in me and didn't suspend me when I hacked the school's mainframe so that I was never late or absent ... oh wait that was Bill Gates' did that :P Cheers!! fr33kman ^talk 18:37, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Icon Javascript?

Hey, if you didn't see my Simple talk message, could you add the Javascript code for title icons to MediaWiki:Common.js? Hope to hear from you soon! obentomusubi 21:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Uh-oh

I would like a Citation that Solaris is Opensolaris

I would like a citation that Solaris is Opensolaris until then I am changing the picture to a picture of Solaris. This is not against the reversion policy. G'day Ismouton (talk) 23:07, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Userpage redesign?

Hello! Glad to see you're interested in my redesigning your userpage. First, I have some questions I would like to ask you:

1. What color scheme would you prefer?
2. What ambience would you like your page to have?
3. Any special requests? Do you already have ideas for the redesign?

Cheers, –obentomusubi 06:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Anything really. I like all colors (reds, blues, purples, pinks etc.) I like my colors to be subdued however, and am not a fan of bold, bright color schemes. I like things in little boxes (collapsable or not. A mixture of editor links and admin links would be good also. Just go for it! fr33kman ^talk 20:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Alright. I'll go for dimmer colors like the one on my profile (bright, but not as saturated) and I'll let you customize your links. :) Cheers, –obentomusubi 20:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

thedamnedones page deleted?

hi there...

i'm pretty new to the Wikipedia and don't have much info on how it works here....

i wrote an article regarding a band called "theDamnedones" which is based on male' the capital of the Republic of Maldives. i had given links as proofs of the band. but it seems the page has been deleted and i would very much like to know why? i guess i might have made mistakes that some how contradict your policies here...if so pls let me know them so i can get it write.

hope for a prompt and positive reply

best regards theDamnedones

Hi there Fr33kman, I have sent a message to theDamnedones as I deleted the page as being not notable. --Peterdownunder (talk) 12:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

What!?

What happened to DYK!? --The New ℳikemoral^♪♪_♫ 19:55, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

As much as I hated to do it, we killed it due to lack of activity. It was too sporadic, and to be honest its had a proposed closure that many times that it was unlikely to survive another one (which would have been started by now). Goblin 19:56, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

That's really terrible. It was just getting stated like the Typo Team :) (20 members). Grr... It should be revived... --The New ℳikemoral^♪♪_♫ 01:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Userpage redesign

If you could hold on for one second, I will finish CM16's redesign. I will get to you when the new icon system is put into place. ;) obentomusubi 02:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

:O You're an administrator! PeterSymonds hasn't responded, so if he doesn't add the icon code to MediaWiki:Common.js by the time you're reading this, could you do it for me? Thanks! :D obentomusubi 02:29, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey

Can you add that new instruction page to {{welcomeq}} please? That is the template that I use to welcome new users most often. I would also add it to {{anon}}. Cheers, Razorflame 02:18, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

 Done-ish. I don't know how to proceed with {{anon}} because it currently has no links to guidelines or policies; but it really should do, shouldn't it?!? Cheers for bringing these to my attention! :) fr33kman ^talk 02:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Yesterday...

I was reading Simple Talk when I got your message. What a day - looks like I should stay home and not go to work just to keep up! Half the time I'm not sure I know what they are arguing about. If someone wants to spend their time making nice icons I think that's great, but I'm not going to get stressed about it. And I know you and I will disagree on fair use images, but I'd rather be editing than fighting - some of these battles just don't seem that critical. The one interesting point that Razorflame made was having discussion pages under topics rather than a rambling simple talk - might help keep some sort of continuity in the discussions.

Yeah, as I told The Obento Musubi; unless you are going to be worrying about it on your death-bed, it's not important now! Agree that ST is becoming too bogged down in drama. And yes, we can always disagree, but we'll always be respectful! :) fr33kman ^talk 06:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

We have had a bit of rain here so the fires (which are still going) are now under control - I can't smell smoke anymore. The police think they have found enough bodies to match with all the people listed as missing, so the death toll is 210, but there are some fairly badly burnt people in hospital.

If these fires were started as arson, I hope your police find those responsible and toss away the key! fr33kman ^talk 06:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Anyhow I'm off to read your new instructions on importing pages, best wishes from OZ Peterdownunder (talk) 06:17, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm watching the end of Springer and then off to bed (up all night answering ambulance calls = total of 2 [slow night]). TTYL :) fr33kman ^talk 06:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Trust me... lol... I'd rather edit than fight. That's why I waved the white flag today... I'm so sick and tired of this bickering. Take care, obentomusubi 06:49, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Reply:

Oh, its no problem at all! I didn't perceive it as harsh, so there is no need to apologize. Thank you very much! :) Papercutbiology♫ (talk)) 00:40, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Rollback + Icons

Thank you for regranting me rollback. I shall not abuse the privilege. Regarding icons, what do you think about changing the icon from the current one to ? Which is easier on the eyes to you? obentomusubi 06:12, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome! I like the second icon the best personally. I've looked at it with four different browsers and three different OSes (Windows, Linux, MacOS X) and it renderes nicely in all. Cheers fr33kman ^talk 01:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

User categories RFDs

Was it decided somewhere that we should removed the RFDs on the user categories because of the discussion on Simple Talk? I don't see where this was decided. Unless there is clear consensus to do so, please restore these RFDs. the RFDs are wholly separate from the Simple talk discussion. Even if we decide at ST to keep user categories, there still seems to be consensus to delete these particular categories. Either way (talk) 21:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikimedia chapter launched

As someone who has previously expressed an interest in Wikimedia UK, you may be interested that the chapter has now re-formed and we are ready to elect a new Board to focus on our new plans. There are many exciting ideas around for things we can do, including content access partnerships, generating free content photographs and media relations in the UK. However, these all need the support of members like yourself! You can join up here, donate here and get involved here. Join before 24th April and you can help elect our new Board. Come along to our AGM in Manchester on 26th to help set our priorities. Other ways of keeping in touch are set out here. Hope to hear from you soon! AndrewRT (talk) 22:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
