[edit] Welcome to Simple Wikipedia
Hello, J Di, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you are happy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Some helpful pages to start you off are Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents and Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines.
If you want to meet and talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Just remember that you should sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.
We have a special page that describes how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.
We are also focusing on core articles until this Wikipedia grows. This list of topics will help show the types of topics we want most.
Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, do not be afraid to be bold! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later.
If you need any help, send a message to an administrator on his or her talk page. Administrators on Wikipedia will try to help you with your problems and resolve them as soon as possible.
Finally, if you have any questions on how things work, don't hesitate to ask me. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. Good luck and happy editing! J Di 20:56, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs
Please use {{stub}} under short articles.The life of brian 16:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Stubs are articles that can be expanded, and I didn't think Benign could be expanded much. J Di 16:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think people should use them anyway, because it does officially invite people to expand it. Sorry if I offended you in any shape or form. ;) The life of brian 16:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Nah, course not. If anything, I'm glad somebody's watching over my edits. J Di 17:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- just a quick question. How do you install popups? The life of brian 17:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Copy what's in my monobook into yours, then hold Ctrl and press F5 or clear your cache. J Di 17:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Great, thanks a lot! The life of brian 17:20, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- No worries. J Di 17:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Administrator rollback
Hello J Di, and welcome to Simple Wikipedia. Unlike the way normal users do a rollback (re-edit an old version, commit the changes) administrative rollback does not give the opportunity to make a comment about it. In the case we are talking about ([1]), I simply felt rolling back would be faster than re-entering the comment. This is nothing personal against a given user. As you are probably aware, I have made a deletion/rename request for this page, as well as one other in the scope of Cowboy Bebop. I did this simply to prevent that simple-wp returns completely different results from en-wp, when searching for common terms. The other option I would have had was to re-add the deletion request; the result would have been the same.
If anything is unclear, please get back to me. -- Eptalon 10:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I know how administrator rollback works, and as I said before, I'd rather not have my good faith edits revered with it; it gives me the impression that I am not worth your time. Reverting a page by editing an older revision is not a time-consuming process, and using an edit summary saves other users from feeling belittled or unwanted. Not everybody knows what administrator rollback is or how it works, and new editors could mistake an automatic edit summary for rejection. J Di 14:56, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I know you
You're from ** aren't ya? Muhahaha. RaNdOm26 10:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- There's no need to tell everybody. JDtalk 12:12, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome Template
The welcome template you created is a beauty. Thumbs up!The life of brian 20:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Zatch Bell!
It's no real big deal. What happened is that first, on Nov. 22, someone made up a nonsense talk page at Talk:Zatch Bell. Then you noticed that the article page should be at Zatch Bell! and did a page move, nonsense talk page and all. This automatically created a redirect for the nonsense talk page too. Pretty soon afterward, the nonsense talk page got deleted at its new location, this was all on Nov. 22. Whenever any page is deleted, all redirects pointing to it also should also eventually be deleted, because they show up as "broken" redirects - orphaned redirects that point to nothing. I may well have been the first person to check the broken redirect list since Nov 22. Since it's a talk page and there's nothing there anyway, I don't see how anyone would be inconvenienced. Blockinblox - talk 22:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn't realise there was a talk page when I moved the article; I was wondering why there was a redirect to the talk page. Thanks for the reply. JDtalk 22:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome
How do you give people welcomes like the one you gave ZimZalaBim? I like it and want to start welcoming people with it.--Sir James Paul 22:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SYSOP
Currently I am runing to become a sysop. The main reason why I want to become one is to better help in the war against vandalism, I believe in tougher blocks against vandals and after the 2 time they vandaliz an article I will impose a ban on them. I have a lot of free time so I will be a active sysop. At one point I had a average of 50 edits a day, now I have a average of 30 because I was busy and not able to edit. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page please. Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir James Paul 21:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Copyvio template
No template, I wrote it myself. Feel free to steal it! Archer7 - talk 22:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, I could have sworn I saw it somewhere else... That'd explain why I couldn't find it, anyway. Would you mind creating a template with that text in it? I wouldn't want my name appearing first in an edit history of a template with your text in it. J Di 22:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Done, Template:Copywarn. Don't worry about stealing my information, the whole world can do it under GFDL! Archer7 - talk 22:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Heh. Thank you. J Di 22:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Done, Template:Copywarn. Don't worry about stealing my information, the whole world can do it under GFDL! Archer7 - talk 22:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Putting my article up for deletion
The article is a simplified version of the one on wikipedia, witch you are allowed to do. Can you please take of the deletion template. Thanks and have a nice week.--Sir James Paul 23:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- I know that simplifying Wikipedia articles is allowed, but Henry IV of England appeared to be a direct copy with only a few words changed; the text wasn't even separated into paragraphs as it was on the Wikipedia article. I've removed the quick deletion tag, but in doing so I have created work for another person to tidy up. I'd do it myself, but I'm way too tired to do any proper work right now, so I'll probably sort it out tomorrow if it hasn't already been done by then. J Di 00:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I changed the article a little, I made it more simple. I am going to do research on him and add some new stuff to it. The reason why the article was the exact same was because I only had a few min to simplify it. I did it a little more after sending you the message. By the way thanks for taking off that deletion template, I do not want to have my articles deleted, it looks bad. Have a nice week and god bless you and everyone you know.--Sir James Paul 00:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I'm not spaming
I am asking people to vote and ask me questions. I never said vote for me. --Sir James Paul 22:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Plus I only said it to two people.--Sir James Paul 22:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- But would you have asked more had I not asked you to stop? Asking anybody could be looked at badly; it could look as though you're asking people that already like you to vote, and if they do like you, they'd probably say yes, even if you're a bad candidate (I'm not saying that you are). In any case, it's probably a good idea if you don't ask anybody else. J Di 23:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm not going to ask anyone else. Will you ask me some questions before voting not to promote me please.--Sir James Paul 23:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] hello
hello J di, I fix your babelfish ;) --Vector ^_^ (talk) 08:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Woo, thanks. I didn't realise there was a second template; I haven't used {{babel}} before. J Di 08:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IP
How can you tell that a IP belongs to a school. Also thank you for leaving a comment about that on my talk page.--Sir James Paul 21:23, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] vandal
sometimes the vandal have a dynamic Ip...and in this wiki there isn't any ceck user...so sometimes I block for 1 or 2 day the page, --Vector ^_^ (talk) 23:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Autoblock
Yes, I've enabled autoblock. The guy seems to be working from a dynamic IP. PullToOpen Talk 01:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- I was looking at Special:Log/block when I should have been looking at Special:Ipblocklist. That'd be why I didn't see the autoblocks. Thanks. J Di 01:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] vandal
I think that the vandal has a dynamic Ip, do you know a stewarts, for a Ceckuser? --Vector ^_^ (talk) 16:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- So now what. you want to rangeblock me for creating a good-faith article.Kerano 16:15, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) I don't know any stewards, sorry. m:Requests for CheckUser information looks like the place to go if there's no CheckUsers here. J Di 16:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Listen to what I'm saying, it's important.Kerano 16:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- You need to say something before I can listen. J Di 16:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

- Guinness is a good faith article, range blocks for creating it will be in bad faith and I will report you to Jimbo Wales if you do so.Kerano 16:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- You're one of many sockpuppets of an abusive user. You're evading your block by creating these accounts. Administrators are acting appropriately to prevent disruption. J Di 16:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Welcome
Thanks. The next time you leave a message expect a reply to you on my talk page. I don't want to create an account. --71.231.130.56 19:48, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Just where I like replies to be :) J Di 02:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
What template should I use with vandals? Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir James Paul 02:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- It depends on how much vandalism the vandal has one. I'd expect you should start with {{test1}}, and then leave {{test2}} and {{test3}} (separately) if they continue to vandalise. J Di 02:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for trying things out on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it is now gone. Please use the sandbox if you want to do any more tests, and see the welcome page if you want to learn about helping Simple English Wikipedia. —This unsigned comment was added by Trenchon Taveblady (talk • contribs) 00:17, December 13, 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hoax
I haven°t seen a hoax be dealt with here, so I kind of winged it. However, I believe false information like that should be deleted as fast as possible. PullToOpen Talk 02:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Initialism
Hi, I haven't found a list of acronym or initialism, can I create it ? Because it maybe exists or it's maybe not very important, but there was one on the English Wikipedia. Kitame 19:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC) —This unsigned comment was added by Kitame (talk • contribs) 19:38, December 13, 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't seen one, but then I haven't really been looking for one either. I don't see a problem with creating one, as long as it's encyclopaedic. If there is already one on Simple English Wikipedia, the two can always be merged later. J Di 19:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Okay, thank you. I'll begin to create one with these I know, I hope it will be useful. Kitame 19:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about giving someone a welcome on there user page. I pressed the talk bage tab and thought I was on the talk page but was not. For some reason it will not let me go on his talk page. Are you having the same problem? Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir James Paul 23:32, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- The guy's redirected his user talk page to his user page. Please start a new section when leaving a message on a talk page. J Di 23:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RfA
I've now closed your RfA. I think in a few months when people have seen a bit more of you you should do fine. Thanks, Archer7 - talk 14:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Use interwiki links
Hello, J Di. When you create new articles, please use interwiki links. An article should have at least one of those links to another language wikipedia. Otherwse, keep up the good work. -- Eptalon 14:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I forgot. I wrote up most of that article earlier and was thinking about whether or not it was good enough to use, so I didn't have the English Wikipedia article up when I saved it. J Di 14:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DeLorean
I tried to make the article a little easier, is it still necessary to have the "clean up" on the top of the article . Kitame 21:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Cleanup tags aren't used because an article isn't simple. They are used when an article doesn't meet Wikipedia's quality standards. I've tidied up the article a bit more, and removed the cleanup tag. J Di 21:58, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Enchenton
As proposed, I have increased the block time to infinite; the account was used to make personal attacks, which cannot be tolerated. Thanks for alerting me. -- Eptalon 23:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP: blocks and bans
Next time you move a page, try and remember to make sure to clean up any double redirects the move causes. -- Creol 09:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't think there'd be any... Sorry. J Di 10:09, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
