Re: You called?

[edit]

Yep, that's how I can across your account. :) I don't always go looking for people to welcome, but when I see a new (or new-"ish") account with a redlinked talk doing anything helpful, I just can't ever help myself. Hope you enjoy your time, around here, feel free to let me know if you have any questions. – Luna Santin (talk) 04:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to share a funny thought.
Wouldn't it be brilliant if everyone's email inbox was like a wiki - then volunteers and admins could delete all the porn senders and rangeblock them :)
Anyhow, Perhaps you could explain what exactly about what I did was helpful, or give me a link to that page again so I can see the backlash. I only threw some fat into the fire -to provoke thought.
Also, Don't suppose you might tell me what a redlinked talk is?
I don't suppose you could also give me some help with setting up a userpage sometime?

I'm not Luna Santin, but I am bored and looking at this page, so I'll answer you anyway.
A redlinked talk is a discussion page that doesn't exist yet, so it shows up as a red link if you try to link to it. For example, the article Ugthorpeexists, but its discussion page (Talk:Ugthorpe) doesn't. When Luna first saw you editing, you didn't have any messages on your discussion page, so it appeared as a red link. Not having any messages generally means an account is very new, and sadly we often come across new accounts which are simply being used for vandalism, so it's nice to see one doing something useful.
In response to your earlier question about a shared IP address, more or less all IP edits are checked by someone at some point, but if there are too many unconstructive edits coming from one IP address, the only effective way to deal with it is to impose a block. Bear in mind, though, that such blocks don't affect logged-in users; anyone who does wish to edit from that IP merely has to create an account on a computer elsewhere (at home, for example) and then log in when they wish to edit. This isn't too much to ask for someone who has a genuine interest in contributing, but is too much effort for the average bored kid who wishes to mess up a page; besides, we encourage all contributors to create an account, for various reasons.
As for a userpage, just redirect User:Horst.Burkhardt to User talk:Horst.Burkhardt. Userpages are overrated, and Wikipedia is not MySpaceGurch15:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
You're the one responsible for the ads? Well done! :D
Also, I like your idea, thankyou for saying Wikipedia is not Myspace - I wanted to avoid that exactly, making a userpage that was braggardly or in some other way attention-whoring and not really about the Wikipedia project. If you or Luna could tell me how to forward User:Horst.Burkhardt to User_talk:Horst.Burkhardt I'd really be much obliged.
Also, thankyou for responding so promptly and clearly to my question about redlining. :)
Good Luck - Wikipedia probably needs more of your kind. Horst.Burkhardt 16:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
To make a page redirect to another, use #REDIRECT [[insert page to redirect to here]]. More information about this can be found at Help:Redirect. I've done this to your userpage for you; if in future you wish to turn your userpage into an actual page rather than a redirect, follow a link to it, find where it says "Redirected from User:Horst.Burkhardt" at the top of the page, click that, then click "edit this page". Alternatively, add "?action=edit" to the end of the URL,like thisGurch 16:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:SXEmacs.png. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Sxemacs.png. The copy called Image:Sxemacs.png has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 04:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Booty_Luv_Logo.png)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Booty_Luv_Logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 08:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Terribly sorry, but the template used on the page Booty Luv doesn't allow for the logo to be present above the picture of the group.

Feel free to delete. Horst.Burkhardt (talk) 08:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

House WikiProject

[edit]
File:Housecane.png Hello, I noticed that you appear to be interested in House.

A House WikiProject has been started to better format the articles surrounding House. You are hereby invited to join.

Thank you.

Cheers. --Music26/11 17:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

  • ... I'm honestly not sure what I could bring to the wikiproject. If I see things I'll fix them, but my interest in House is more that I consider myself much like him in some ways, and that I love seeing idiots flamed in hospitals. Sorry. Thanks for the invite anyway. :)

Designated Target (NCIS)

[edit]

I have restored the redirect. Per WP:EPISODE, individual episodes are generally not notable. McWomble (talk) 12:40, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Conspire (IRC client). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Conspire (IRC client). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.--Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
