you sure that's the right way to name the thing?[edit]

Attack pages[edit]

Hi. When you get a blatant personal attack page like Michael Drewel just now, although it certainly is vandalism and qualifies for a {{db-vandalism}} tag, there is a better one to use: {{db-attack}}, which puts it into a high-priority queue for admin attention, and also generates a suitably fierce warning to copy to the author's talk page. It's a good thing to blank the whole page, to get the attack off the screen, and then add {{db-attack}}. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:09, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contemporary Number[edit]

Just out of curiosity, did you read the above before you added a cat to it? I've tagged it as hoax - it's a load of utter drivel.... (PS I do admire the people who sort out the cats - I've never got my head round them. Not really tried, I suppose...) Peridon (talk) 14:50, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No probs - just saves time. The first clue here was that this was a number between two and three, and was used as a greeting. If I had a fiver for every time I've seen similarly disconnected rubbish here, I'd probably have about £80. Mind you, I find that hoaxes that are blatant to me aren't to everyone. I suppose having done what I call 'forensic first aid' with kids helps. That's where you not only have to treat the problem, but you have to get through the tissue of lies and fear to find out who actually did it and how. Keep up the good work. Just seen how short a time you've been a member of the club (unless you were IPing before). We need more people who understand cats. I understand furry cats (and don't believe half of what they tell me), but not wiki cats. Peridon (talk) 15:04, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An addition to JohnCD's post above: use {{db-attack|blanked=yes}} - it gives a neat result. Just attack gives red bits telling you to blank it, which should have been done already by you. And another nice little template: if you tag a userpage for spam, which you can if Mean as Custard hasn't got there first), put {{spam-warn-userpage}} ~~~~ on the talk page. (If the spam is on the talk page, just remove it and put 'Promotional material deleted', or 'Spam deleted' if you don't want to be quite so polite.) If it's a subpage of the userpage, put the spamwarn on the actual user's talk page, but as {{spam-warn-userpage|User:Ilovespamming/spamspam}} ~~~~ (obviously substituting the correct subpage name...). I want to spread the use of this little template - we saved it from deletion recently. Peridon (talk) 15:41, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ubuntu[edit]

Sadly not. I need to make changes to my recorder so it will burn the .ISO, or even get a better software. 123 Hedgehog 456 07:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Abdulrahman Al-Shoaibi[edit]

The article Abdulrahman Al-Shoaibi has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

New Page Patrol survey[edit]

New page patrol – Survey Invitation

Hello Crystal Linux! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

New deal for page patrollers[edit]

Hi Crystal Linux,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
