I removed the category from this article because the existing category (Carbon-carbon bond forming reactions) is a daughter of category organic chemistry. We try to use the most accurate category to avoid overloading the parent categories. --Rifleman 82 02:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Hej!

Jeg kan se at du er aktiv på den engelske Wikipedia, og at du er fra Danmark. I skrivende stund, diskuterer vi på landsbybrønden et nyt forslag, om at starte en national afdeling, der vil blive kaldet Wikimedia Danmark. Hvis du er interesseret i at bidrage med noget tid til at få startet afdelingen, kan du skrive dit navn på denne side hos meta. Tak for din tid! Mike H. Fierce! 06:00, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism

Hi, good work. For stuff like your diff, fixing multiple edits by one user, I don't know how you're doing it now, but you might want to apply for this feature, which makes it one click: WP:ROLLBACK. --Colfer2 (talk) 00:07, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:

If you have any questions, please do let me know.

HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your well intentioned edits at this article. However:
(a) the edits appear to have been made by a bot, as they contain errors a human would be unlikely to make. Bot edits should be marked with a b in the edit summary, along with details of the bot being run. Unauthorised use of bots for editing may be grounds for a block; and
(b) please instruct your bot that links to the disambiguation pages travelling salesman and Mother Superior may be valid links not in need of disambiguation as the most common meanings of both these terms are currently addressed at the disambiguation page but not in a separate article. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:05, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

(a) It has not been made with a bot (but with tools:~dispenser/view/Dab_solver), and the {{dn}} has been set manually. (b) If the link should be linked to a disambiguation page, then link it this way: travelling salesman (disambiguation) and Mother Superior (disambiguation) (by pipe syntax). That way humans (and robots) can see that the link to the disambiguation page isn't a mistake. For more information see Links to disambiguation pages. The discussion page has a {{bots|deny=WildBot}}, so the only way to inform you and others was by the {{dn}} --Christian75 (talk) 08:06, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Twinkle

As a recent down-loader of Twinkle I am unsure of when and how to use it. Consider:User talk:82.74.92.249---I wanted to include recent vandalism by this IP at Dutch Language but instead I cancelled some of your vandalism notices. The repairs at Dutch Language have been done by another editor but no warning was posted at the IP's talk for future "vandal patrollers" to see. I didn't want to undo my action for fear of just compounding the mistake. Request:Can you provide some mentoring in Twinkle use?--Buster7 (talk) 13:26, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Upon further investigation, I think I see what happened. The IP user replicated your notice. Curious behavior, but it lessons the impact of my hasty Twinkle. I'm still unsure of the best ways to implement Twinkle but I don't feel completely incapable.--Buster7 (talk) 13:40, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I think that what happens too (that he duplicated my warning).
To fight with Twinkle I used Lupins tool (importScript('User:Lupin/recent2.js'); in monobook.js). It puts some tools in the toolbox, eg. a "Filter recent changes" which is a list of dubious changes to the articles (updated every 30 s). I used it this way: The interesting articles I pressed "last" which open a new tab, and then rolled it back with Twinkle (or undo). With Twinkles "rollback" it will open a new window, and you can warn with the "warn" bottom at the top. (I am using Huggle now - which is faster - but you have to have the Rollback feature before its works (and you can first get when you have experience). Feel free to ask again (and I will answer faster ;-). Maybe more specific questions. --Christian75 (talk) 21:26, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Content

Hi Christian, I have put the info on my page under a different heading. It is in food mixing and i need to change the article to reflect bulk chemicals (TheodoreNg (talk) 21:47, 7 June 2010 (UTC))

Okey, if you are going to make big chance over a few edits its a good idea to 1) explain it in the "Edit summary" and 2) you could use the {{underconstruction}} template which says "This user talk page is actively undergoing a major edit for a short while. To help avoid edit conflicts, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed." Otherwise it looks like you are are removing content --Christian75 (talk) 21:55, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

GMFoods thanks you...

Thank you very much Christian for contributing so much to my Matt's GMFood project, we couldn't have done it without you. In case you were wondering, this is a merged project for an Australian Yr. 9 Media/INQ. We decided to create an online community based on GM Foods. Although it didn't really take off, we believe it was successful enough for an adequate grade. What shall I say is your name, for the credits sake, as you were really the main contributor? --MICHAELIPF5SUMANTalk 01:53, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:36, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism reporting question

I just reverted an IP User:124.107.56.212 at the Human Sexuality page; I see you've been tracking him and have reported him to Administrators page. As I'm new to taking formal steps on vandalism, is there an easy way to produce that report the way you did, or is that compiled by hand? I appreciate any advice. Qwyrxian (talk) 11:04, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

A easy way to revert vandalism is by the script Twinkle which give you some new options ([rollback (AGF)], [rollback], [rollback (VANDAL)]) when you are at the "difference" page - theese new buttons will revert the edit and open the user talkpage and a "warning menu". When you got some more experience you can ask for rollbacker rights, and then using Huggle - which is an external program - it is very fast and does a lot of stuff automatically (including reporting at the Administrators page). A good article is Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism - Feel free to ask again. Christian75 (talk) 11:17, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Osteopathy

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with your Osteopathy (disambiguation) page, but it really does not conform to the guidelines for disambiguation pages. It is not a true disambiguation page, but a collection of links to articles about osteopathy, which is not what disambiguation pages are for. If osteopathy had more than one basic meaning then it would be valid, but everything is explained in the osteopathy article, which is all we need. All links should be put on that page, as they already are. Nothing more is needed. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:40, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I think the article Osteopathy (disambiguation) should be requested deleted - it just wrong that a dab page is a redirect to a normal article. --Christian75 (talk) 23:23, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

It's my testbox, and I will tolerate the redirects, as he presumably knows how to change them back. Sorry about the misunderstanding. mechamind90 00:44, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Take a look at: WP:User pages#Categories, templates, and redirects: "User talk pages should not redirect to anything other than the talk page of an account controlled by the same user.", and the user redirected his own talk page to different articles too. And he is still testing: [1] (in main space)... Christian75 (talk) 07:32, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
And I failed to divert the user. Unfortunately for that IP address, he resumed redirecting his user talk page and got blocked again with talk page access revoked. mechamind90 05:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Warning vandals

Issuing a level 2 warning to 98.85.3.143 was kind of pointless considering it was less than five minutes after they's been issued a final warning by another editor. If you find a vandal who already has a recent final warning (how recent is "recent" is a judgement call, but 5 minutes is recent!), please report them to WP:AIV for admin attention. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:48, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Having looked at the situation, may I point out that while the IP had made lots of vandalism edits in a row, it had only been warned once before the final warning? dffgd [messages·edits] 19:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
I agree that my edit was pointless. I made the warning with Huggle, but I did it semi-manually with "W" - I do not know if Huggle behave the same way when pressing Q, but normally it tells me that the user has got "a final warning" and report to WP:AIV instead. It looks like a bug i Huggle. Christian75 (talk) 19:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

RE:TNA

How doesn't TNA go with the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Article I mean you can't say it's not big enough they are on http://www.indemand.com/ and on http://www.viewerschoice.ca/ which is like a Canada version on In demand and I checked and their Pay-per-views are on all the cable networks WWE is on. if you type TNA on Google search engine and click the I'm feeling lucky button it will take you to the official TNA website which is http://www.tnawrestling.com Totalaero (talk) 15:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Maybe you are right - so feel free to make the redirect - but do not destroy the disambiguation page but move it to "TNA (disambiguation)", redirect TNA to the main subject and make a notice on the main page that TNA redirect here with {{redirect}}. Christian75 (talk) 20:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Query

Hi Christian, any reason why you filed this under 'Everyday' and not 'Transport' where it belongs? Crum375 (talk) 10:44, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Transport is a "subcategory" to Category:Engineering and technology good articles - If |topic = transport the template will list the article as an "Engineering and technology good articles". If you think it should be listed that way - feel free to change it. Christian75 (talk) 11:22, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Yes, that's where I listed the original nomination, and it's still listed there now. I'll change it myself then. Crum375 (talk) 11:36, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

GA parameters

Thanks for marking the {{GA}} instance at Talk:Forestry of the United Kingdom with the oldid. I didn't do this because it's not in the instructions at WP:GAN (it probably should be), though I've done it on others.

Wikipedia template documentation really can be obscure. I quite had to hunt to find out the purpose of the page= parameter, and even then, it doesn't really make clear that pretty much always it's needed (i.e. that if you follow the link from {{GA nominee}} to create the review then that's what you'll get; why can't GA nominee just put the page= in ready then?).

Speedy deletion declined: Przemysław (disambiguation)

Hello Christian75, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Przemysław (disambiguation), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The target is still a disambig page, just with some prose on top.
