User talk:Tangotango
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
[edit] Welcome
Hello, Tangotango, 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 be helpful if you want to start such pages.
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! -- Psy guy 02:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Have you checked with User:Tawker or User:Essjay? They may be able to help. -- Psy guy 12:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I just dropped in to say a hello. --Bhadani 17:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] span
Hi, I'm not exactly sure what <span> does or how it works... Maybe if you write the entire code on the Mediawiki talk page, I can copy it and we could try it out... Blockinblox 16:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

The end of the world.....with this user...--Vector (write to me please) 15:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logo
Can you please make a version like this, but that reads "Simple English Encyclopedia" under "Wikipedia" (yes, I know the font may have to be small). Also, the globe you're using is missing some details (accent marks over letters). -- Netoholic @ 06:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Can you fix your new version? It should say "Simple English Encyclopedia", not repeat Wikipedia twice. :) -- Netoholic @ 18:13, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey!
What's up?
This place is so simple!!! Well anyway, how can I be gettin' an account here? Is there a special test? or maybe some sort o' monkey ontop of cherry tree in the middle of a swamp?
Help me out brother!
--24.83.203.198 16:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the welcome!
You're alright! Dang, this Wiki-pedia thing is quite interesting. It's almost the same caliber as one o' them TV magic queers.
--24.83.203.198 16:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Well okay
Well. Then in that case. I'm gunna go download the Media Wiki software and set it up and make my own Hillbilly Wikipedia!
Where we hillbillys can talk about muscle cars, and how we got dial-up, and purdy ladies, and how we don't like them colored folks.
You're welcome to come. I'll make sure to tell you the URL (earl?!?!) when it's done.

[edit] anon IP user warning
Sort of confusing. The edit not yet been reverted or removed. It was only tagged for deletion. zephyr2k 05:49, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think we should use a different template for notifying good faith article creators and other major contributors that an article they have made has been tagged or nominated for deletion. Does simple have an existing one? Or should we bring it to the community if we can add a new one for this particular use? I personally don't mind having to make a customized message for each occasion. I actually composed one but had an edit conflict with you. zephyr2k 05:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Related to your revert/warning script (seen here). Can you do a couple things? I think that linking the day and year is unnecessary (and clutters things like Special:Whatlinkshere/2006). Also, I don't see much need for a "test2" warning. Either its a Test or it's Vandalism. That stop hand is already one of the most linked-to images. -- Netoholic @ 19:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tangobot4
Tangobot4 is currently reporting loads of edits run by Thijs!bot to the IRC channel, and it's making it rather difficult to read. Can you add it to the bot list, Tangobot4 told me off when I tried to do it. Archer7 - talk 21:07, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] deletion policy
You apparently have a lack of understanding with reagards to the Deletion policy. Firstly, except for some minor tweaking, I wrote the policy two years ago. Secondly, if pages which don't conform to the policy are routinely deleted in good faith by an admin, then it is the page which is out-of-date, not a rogue admin violating policy. Since no one else has bothered to update the deletion policy to cover items qhich we've routinely deleted, I've done so. I can promise you, though, that the list is still incomplete and I will very likely delete something that "doesn't fit" in the future, so don't get your panties in a bunch. I'll also be happy to explain my reasoning and even reverse myself if convincing arguement is made. You've been here on and off since only July, so please evaluate whether you have the perspective to see the needs of this wiki. -- Netoholic @ 06:49, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your help, I've really appreciated a lot your work. --M7 15:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Administrator
It's my duty to point out that, consensus being reached on Wikipedia:Administrators, you are now an admin. Make sure to review all the current policies. If you intend to use the "Block user" function, you must keep your email address current and check for messages often. The big thing to remember is not to use your abilities in any conflicts (editing or otherwise) that you're directly involved. Other than that, I'd suggest starting out slowly, and feel free to contact me or another admin if you have any other questions or just need a second opinion. Try to keep to the core values of Simple:, and remember... we aren't just another EN: Wikipedia. -- Netoholic @ 20:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations Tangotango on your sucessful RfA!!
Hello Tangotango, I wanted to congratulate you for your sucessful, but long RfA and give you a barnstar along with it. I hope you have a great time being an administrator here in the simple english wikipedia. Good luck:-) --§ Alastor Moody (T + C) 02:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC) |
[edit] Shetlands
You deleted the merged article!!! the other should have been left as a redirect rather than deleted. I can't even find the correct history with the merged article anymore, I hope it is recoverable. Blockinblox
- Wow, I didn't even know it was possible to merge to GFDL histories like that... But won't it be a little hard to chronologically follow changes to two different histories on the same GFDL? edits jumping back and forth between two different sets? Are you sure this is the right thing to do? Blockinblox 13:58, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your block of User:212.248.234.8
I suggest you unblock that IP and give more warnings in future - he got one warning, and only made one edit after receiving it, and even that was only a minute after so he may well not have seen the warning. Warnings often work to stop vandals, so give them a chance. --Tango 12:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! --Tango 12:50, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ありがとう!
Dear Tangotango, thank you for voting in my Rfa. Netoholic has concerns. As such, I will not be promoted to administrator status. However, I do not hold it against him. の私の友人ありがとう!--Tdxiang 02:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

New elections for bureaucrats on simple.wikipedia are going to start. Would you like to give a hand to simple.wikipedia and candidating here? --M7 17:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Voting again? How cool? You voted twice. :P--Tdxiang 04:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
Right now I am just trying to link the "wanted categories" (Started with nearly 500 of them) into the cat tree. I try and prune some of the weirder ones that most like popped in from a en:wiki cut and paste (Nobel peace prize winners from Austria in the 1930s on a Tuesday under a full moon) but occasionally I let a few slide. After I link bottom to top, I am most likely going to restart from the top and crawl through the cats and try and tighten them up some. The tree is in bad shape though, could be months of work to straighten it out as I realy don't think I will be keeping up todays pace (300+edits.. ouch) -- Creol 09:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] done, not done
I create {{done}} Done. and {{Not done}}
Not done. do you like it? :) --Vector ^_^ (talk) 12:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tangobot
I've now granted User:Tangobot a bot flag, as all of the tests seem fine. I did notice in it's contributions that a minority are just simply the word 'Correct'. Could you try to configure it to use more descriptive edit summaries in similar cases? Archer7 - talk 20:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
