Concern

Hi,

Just been looking through this website ... found it today. Just came across the blocked list and whilst I'm intrigued by the ingenuity of sexually explicit user names, I was a bit concerned to read so many comments of "blocked for editing own talk page". This sounds to me as if someone had entered into a discussion and was being banned for having made a comment. This can't possibly be true as it would be contrary to all justice to allow others to comment to you on your talk page but be unable to comment back and/or remove comments that you don't wish to pursue.

I assume this is a mistake, and as most of what I see comes with your name, I'm leaving this comment here .... although there is this worrying thought at the back of my mind that if you get banned for leaving a comment on your own talk page, then I'm really going to get banned for leaving a comment on someone else's page!

No, it's just dawned on me that the comment: "cannot edit userpage" is not the reason they were banned, but an instruction as to what they can't do from now. Still that is how I read it, and you might like to consider whether the ban comments might be better phrased.79.79.220.104 16:45, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Porsche and Volkswagen agree to merger

Thanks for the note, the links which reverted to subscription are now fixed silly old things. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 23:32, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, found a different link for the VW law which states it. Thank you SriMesh | talk 00:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. Are ever other language wikinews articles given as "Related news", there are a few older wikinews articles on German wikinews which are about the VW law, and the "ongoing takeover - merger" between Porsche and VW. I can put the links on the talk page, or are other languages not put on article pages unless they are source articles? SriMesh | talk 00:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Translations

Would you consider helping and coordinating translations of my story prep from English to Russian with User:TarzanASG? Translation goes by faster when there's another person involved and setting up story prep on the Russian Wikinews can show both of you what's done and what needs to be completed. I would appreciate it if you could help. Mike Halterman (talk) 18:30, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I responded on my talk. Mike Halterman (talk) 21:58, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I actually didn't notice you had volunteered on the WC to translate at all. Either way, I appreciate all you've done. Mike Halterman (talk) 22:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I could have sworn I saw a page somewhere that said you spoke "ru" and "en." Maybe I'm hallucinating. Mike Halterman (talk) 23:42, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah, it was in your history. I think I went looking to see what language you did speak. Mike Halterman (talk) 23:43, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Disastrously wrong article on the current fire in Santa Barbara

Please see my comment here. It's worthwhile fixing this kind of thing. The map alone shows many hundreds of square miles on fire and evacuated; it makes Wikinews look just a bit foolish. The statistics are about two days old. Thank you, Antandrus (talk) 00:05, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment on the talk page there. I just left you a note on your en: talk page, somewhat unrelated. All the best, Antandrus (talk) 00:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Block

It probably was best to warn. It was my first block as an admin, so I will take that into account and not block before warning again. Thank you. :) Mike Halterman (talk) 01:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

You got that notice up pretty quickly! I didn't know anyone else was online. Mike Halterman (talk) 03:20, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

It's a bit humorous to read. For someone who's so horrified to look at my fat face, he sure can think about it enough to write two comments about it. And I may need to lose weight, but he needs to "loose" an "o." Mike Halterman (talk) 03:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Dealer leads offer for Pontiac brand

You might want to check into DragonFire and his method of deleting stale articles. Some of the issue I point out to him on his talk page: Dealer_leads_offer_for_Pontiac_brand. He marked the deleting as "no context", "Nonsenses", when he admits it was just stale. The Collaboration/talk page and the article indicated that more information may be forth coming. Now there was a report in the paper today that and I guess I don't see any reason to continue to report much of anything. WikiNews could have scoop the general national press but I guess not. When a lot of work goes down the drain, it saps energy to put anything into this site any more. --Spshu (talk) 20:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Administrator

I'm flattered that you think I would make a good admin. If you have no problems with it, neither do I. I do try to be as active as I can, but I can't always be active. I feel that I meet the requirements, but I can't be 100 percent sure. If you do nominate me, let me know and I will monitor the nomination and try to answer any questions I can.

Query about Mexico presents first population-wide genome map for a Latin country

• Has the journal entry been entered under sources correctly?
• Everything in the article I can verify, and left a note regarding the local states, and the editor replied that he sourced the journal and the page entries, but I cannot open the journal (in English) which can be accessed via open access, I can open the abstract so far.
• Can/should the talk page entry about page numbers and percentages be entered as OR at all?
• Is there a different place I should ask these questions - water cooler &c?
• The other option I can think of is just to crop the two paragraphs in question the one now beginning Genetic diversity and Although West African which access the journal entry talked about above. All other paragraphs access other content.
• So if you read my talk page, how should I proceed for the peer review when I cannot get at the journal, but everything else is verified as OK and found in the articles, and the requested c/e went well. Is there anyone else on WN who can access journals ... I know sometimes students can.
• I did a partial PR dependent on these questions.

SriMesh | talk 05:06, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I did a peer review on the article, but removed the two paragraphs I couldn't verify as I couldn't open the journal. I left a note on the talk page, so if someone else opens the journal they can verify, and add. So I passed the paragraphs which I could verify &cSriMesh | talk 16:35, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Request for Editorship

Thanks for your support of my application for editorship. I'll do my best to justify your confidence. -- Shunpiker (talk) 18:13, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Tempodivalse [talk] 18:15, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Do you mind if I bother you with a couple of wet-behind-the-ears editor questions? 1) Is there something I can do in-line to bring attention to assertions in an article which I cannot trace to the sources? (In Wikipedia, you'd tag one of these as a {{fact}} which needs citations.) 2) How much cleanup can you do on an article before you disqualify yourself as an "uninvolved" reviewer? Thanks again, -- Shunpiker (talk) 19:42, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

NYT Registration

I'll bet you're logged in and you don't know it. If you remove or disable your cookies, I suspect you'll get the same log-in screen that I got when I followed the link. (Thank goodness for BugMeNot!) --Shunpiker (talk) 19:25, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I tried clearing my other browser of all cookies and then following the URL -- and I didn't get the login page. So it seems like the NYT is sometimes requiring registration and other times it is not. I'm not sure what the rule is. --Shunpiker (talk) 22:30, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Main Page leads

Oh, that's fine. That's a big story and it deserves to have a lead. I went off on DragonFire1024 in the chat room because I thought HE did it...lol.
