Your status template

Hello Pmlinediter. I see you are using Template:Statustop. I am considering using it. If you import the script, is it updated automatically? I could not find a clear answer on the template page. Thanks, Airplaneman ^talk 00:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

For letting me have the Sri Lanka flag here :) I didn't know User:The ed17 had discussed it with you. ≈ Chamal ^talk 09:37, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

New message - Jospeh P Kennedy

Why have you reverted my edits back to include Thomas James Kennedy as one of Joseph P Kennedy's Sons?

This is blatantly wrong & makes a mockery of the whole article.

Joe only had Four Sons Joe Jr (killed in WW2), John F (assasinated dallas Texas 1963) Robert F (assasinated June 1968) & Edward M (Ted) Senator (D).

I am not a hacker, vandal or anything else I am just trying to edit it correctly????

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.67.17.100 (talk) 12:09, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

User:85.157.48.111

Hey. Why are you reverting 85.157.48.111's edits such as this as vandalism? The user is clearly here to improve the encyclopedia, so you should explain your reverts in a meaningful way. I have reverted you and replaced the warnings you gave him/her with a welcome template. Thanks, Prolog (talk) 12:21, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Help me

Please help me to re-direct. I have checked local governments' websites, they do not spell like Zhongpu or Xinhua. Please check Hsinchu, Taichung, Jhongpu (http://jhongpu.cyhg.gov.tw/) and Sinhua (http://www.sinhua.gov.tw/), there are no Xinzhu, Taizhong, Zhongpu or Xinhua in Taiwan. Horikawa (talk) 08:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, maybe you can help. Here's the diff I based the reverting on: [1]. Take a look. No idea about Pinyin, don't know who's right, just don't want this to go on w/o knowledgeable discussion. thanks Seb az86556 (talk) 08:54, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I'd recommend starting a thread on each articles' tp. Maybe, I shall start them? Pmlineditor  Talk 08:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

That was my recommendation as well. I just had to go around repairing a bunch of double-redirects and cyclic loops. That's not cool. Seb az86556 (talk) 09:00, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'll do that. Pmlineditor  Talk 09:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

AbuseFilter

Why my edit didn't trigger abusefilter? Blanking a page is should to be clearly vandalism unless it is my own userpage!

OR this abuse filter I feel like Christmas tree only for decorates???Bus88MRT (talk) 15:30, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Please do more constructive things than vandalizing. Pmlineditor  Talk 15:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry friend, but that was not vandalism. Please refer to WP:Profanity. 204.75.188.5 (talk) 15:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:JacobBlack.jpg

I've noticed the image's source is very generic. It is clearly not a screenshot from the film, it appears to be more of a promotional photo, and if it is, did you create it yourself or retrieve it from another website? If you do not provide a more specific source the image will be deleted. Thank you • S • C • A • R • C • E • 03:15, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

It is a screenshot of the film, I took it myself. Urgh, I /hate/ image uploads. Never seem to get one right. Pmlineditor  Talk 08:49, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. For copyrighted images, remember to add a fair use rationale (see examples), proper sourcing and remember to keep it at a rather small size, usually the size it is in the article is all you really need. If you need additional assitance feel free to ask me! • S • C • A • R • C • E • 16:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks. There was a rationale for that one, but I should've reduced it. Cheers, Pmlineditor  Talk 11:32, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

If you're removing a link, fine...

But please have more care than to blanket-revert edits that have nothing to do with the link you objected to. You restored a typographical error and removed a non-controversial cited fact (death locale) at Sammy Petrillo. I have corrected these two errors. Please use Talk:Sammy Petrillo if you believe this discussion needs to continue. Thank you. --207.237.223.118 (talk) 19:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

While helping students research various topics I’ve run across many holes in Wikipedia that need to be filled so I created an account and began editing pieces. I’m taking a break from teaching for a few years while I raise two boys of my own, so I created a personal account a couple months ago and am focusing on editing articles on literature as well as the upper Midwest area of the United States and theatre. I enjoy all forms of literature but most often read fantasy and mystery. I am an occasional editor with no intent to run for any post; instead, I look at one or two articles a month that need help and do what I can. My public library system allows home access to a number of academic and professional databases, which is where I find most of my sources. Finally, I am currently working on filling in some of the red links on the Newbery Medal page and then hope to turn the stubs into full articles. Anyone want to help? I'd be interested in starting a Award Winners workgroup. I am also active in the WikiProject Biography and in the Children and Young Adult Literature WikiProject. They all have areas of focus that compliment each other and my interests. – Sabiona(talk) Current debates There is a debate ongoing about the use of YouTube sources on novel-related articles at the Steven Erikson Talk page. Novel related news Author Rachel Kushner's début novel, Telex From Cuba, is one of six novels nominated for a Dayton Literary Peace Prize. From the Outreach Department I was approached after the last newsletter by somebody who wanted to reach out to some of the readers, so here we are – Alan16(talk). Hi all, the Sword of Truth Task Force is restarting to clean up the articles related to Terry Goodkind's books and there adaptations. With the new TV series, The Legend of the Seeker, the books and the TV show are getting more critical attention, which means more real world material to document this great series of book. I would love to have other's help, as I have only just recently joined to find no other active members. The other members, as listed, have mostly left Wikipedia or removed themselves from the task force. If you are interested I would love to talk at the forum: Wikipedia:WikiProject Sword of Truth/General Forum, or send me a message. Hope to talk to some of you soon, SADADS (talk). Collaboration of the Month This month's Collaboration has been selected by popular vote and is : The Sound and the Fury. All members are asked to assist where they can. The next months collaboration will be selected on 21 September 2009. Newsletter challenge Last months newsletter challenge, The Cater Street Hangman was completed by Sabiona. Members are encouraged to help improve this article. The first person to start the article is mentioned in the next newsletter.

Removal of PROD from Athletics at the 1960 Summer Olympics - Men's 100 metres

Hello Pmlinediter, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Athletics at the 1960 Summer Olympics - Men's 100 metres has been removed. It was removed by MatisSong with the following edit summary '(no edit summary)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with MatisSong before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 23:55, 24 August 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)

Welcome sections

Hiya,

When you add 'welcome' stuff (or a CSD warn/welcome), like you did here for example, can you please somehow try and put it into a section heading?

If the user talk page starts off with an unsectioned '''Welcome''', it often gets them off to a bad start, and can lead to confusion over what a section is, the importance of adding section headings, blah blah. I've seen it happen over 9000 times, and it all gets very confusing. So, if possible, please add a section name when making a new talky page. There's some mention of it in some policy, somewhere, honest. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  19:10, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok I will. Thanks Chzz. Pmlineditor  Talk 11:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
