I'm unsure the best way to begin archiving. I would assume the format would be as it is on meta. Perhaps you could begin the first archive?-- Hu12 16:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
You correctly observed that I editwarred with others on List of notable converts to Islam. In one case I think I was justified. Please see Talk:List_of_notable_converts_to_Islam#Sana_al-Sayegh. I tried to discuss my edits there, and two users responded. But Prester John who reverted my edits regarding al-Sayegh didn't even respond or making any attempt to discuss. In this case what could I have done, (when a user isn't responding on talk)? Bless sins 04:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Follow-up on our IRC conversation, it may be useful to have a list of articles with inline citations but no ref section. That way they could be formatted correctly over time. Also, by separating the articles into (short, no refs) (short, refs) (long, no refs) (long, inline, no refs) for example, it may produce lists that have different quality articles in them. I'd imagine the (short, no refs) and (long, no refs) would produce more CSDs and Prods than the others. Just thinking here. Anyway, got to go to bed. More later, if I think of anything. And I'm watching your page, so you can reply here. Flyguy649 talk contribs 06:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Sohli captain, which you nuked on 28 Feb, has reappeared as Sohli Captain. Is this the same content as the previous article (hence again CSD a7)? It still "doesn't conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles." ( as you had noted for the previous article) -- Fullstop 20:22, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
I've started it at the link. Flyguy649 talk contribs 07:17, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
This template does not have any pages linked to it except one that is tracking its deletion progress. It is free to delete. That one link on it (excepting the ones it now has from my and your talk pages) will always be linked to the page, even after it is deleted, so just ignore it. I will fix the remaining links on
Template:Succession footnote, but as a note, all of them are userpages or talk pages.

Hi Eagle 101 -- I'm puzzled. Are you sure that you are calculating these correctly? I checked for two articles I know to have exceeded the >= 3 inline references, >= 10 sentences & no clean-up tags threshold since some time in 2006 ( Peak District & bovine papillomavirus) and neither seemed to appear in your lists.

Hi. You blocked Bless sins but warned Prester John about revert warring on List of notable converts to Islam. Prester John has been doing sizeable non-consensual reverts on the David Hicks page. Can you please review the ANI report for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendan.lloyd ( talk • contribs) 04:29, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
on this page on can find all pages which contain a weblink to example.com. As this weblink is one of the things which can be added with the editing toolbar, just like the example.jpg or example.ogg, checking that list helps to find accidental or real editing experiments with the editing toolbar, or by wrongly adding a weblink. Thus it IMHO makes sense to avoid that link, and if really needing an example weblink use the example.org instead. Otherwise it will be difficult to find the pages which need to be checked for editing experiments. andy 19:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I can't believe this. Honestly. I sit and wait for days on end in #wikipedia-spam-t, even to the point of conversing with... *shudder*... Shadow, and you never even say hello? Wow.
Just kidding. Honestly tho, drop me a line, bro. I'll be around. thadius856 talk| airports| neutrality 22:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Eagle. I'm relatively inexperienced at Wikipedia. I've been watching the decision processes at the Administrators' noticeboard, and what interested me was that you recently presided over some cases of edit waring (I don't need to go into specific cases).
I notice that when you see a revert war, you tell the parties to go to the discussion page and talk about the issues, rather than just reverting. I agree with this very much. However, the Wikipedia rules don't emphasize that clearly enough.
This Wiki article states it very clearly: Wikipedia:Avoiding_common_mistakes#Deleting... And the above article suggests an alternative to reverting... to move the disputed content (with references) to the talk page, so it can be seen and discussed by other editors. If this was followed by all, it would be a more civil place.
However, the Wikipedia:Etiquette page seems to contradict this, implying it is OK to revert, adding a brief edit summary. It would be great if the Wiki Etiquette rules said something that would force people to move new content to the discussion page. I made a comment to this effect on the Etiquette discussion page. Anyway, I guess I just mention this in case such issues arise in the future, or Wikipedia reformats its Etiquette guidelines, it would be good to see stronger guidelines, which I think would reduce the incidents of edit wars. Best wishes, -- Lester2 06:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I just wated to check with you on the comment here. Did you mean to say "...and if any of the sources are not reliable..."? I'd feel much better about keeping if it could be said what part of the Inuit world she came from. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
