Sure thing, Will! Greg 10:50, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Templates

Hey, Greg! Welcome to CP.

Those templates you made need to be documented. On the Template page, there is info on that, and how to do it. Thanks! --Sysop-TK /MyTalk 13:04, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

I will do that. Greg 13:06, 13 June 2007 (EDT)
Where is the Template page? Greg 13:07, 13 June 2007 (EDT)
  • In the box above, to the right, dude. :-) Click on Templates! If you need more help, let me know or post on PhilipR's page...he's whiz at it! Have fun at camp, btw!--Sysop-TK /MyTalk 13:15, 13 June 2007 (EDT)
Thanks! I wasn't looking in the "help" pages, which would seem like the right place to look! Greg 13:16, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Actually, the current instructions say that user boxes are an exception to the rule; they don't need to be documented like other templates, although we might reconsider that to document user boxes assigning categories to pages. Philip J. Rayment 22:53, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Neither of my userboxes had categories, but I created the documentation anyway. Greg 22:56, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Article Talk Pages

Hi Greg,

When possible, please put thoughts or concerns on article changes into the article talk pages. Writing a concern on Andy's talk page to request a change is considered to be poor etiquette. Thanks Learn together 21:50, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

  • "This user has not specified a valid e-mail address, or has chosen not to receive e-mail from other users." Since this is now required, I request you get to it, as Administrators will have no way to contact you, other than leaving messages here, or locking it up, to get your attention..... --Sysop-TK /MyTalk 22:35, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

Sorry, I didn't realize my actions were poor etiquette. Also, my email should be working now? Greg 20:26, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Wow, I feel like an idiot, I hadn't checked the box on the right side! Greg 20:32, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
  • Been there, done that! I sent you a test message! --Sysop-TK --Talk 2 Me 20:34, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
I've received it. Sorry for all the trouble and confusion over such a simple matter! Greg 20:36, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

categorizing articles

Hi Greg,

It looks like you're creating a lot of articles, which is probably a good thing. :) Would you please take a moment to categorize each one as you do? Otherwise, myself or someone else will go along behind you and add one or more categories, but we don't necessarily have the expertise to categorize your articles accurately. Plus, it's much less efficient. Thanks! Aziraphale 02:03, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

Sure, I'll start doing that. Greg 15:30, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
Is there a list of categories somewhere? I see User:BrianCo and you have been categorizing a lot of my articles. I'd like to return the favor and add categories to articles that are missing them, but I don't know what the categories are. Anywhere I can go to find a list? Greg 15:42, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
Nevermind, I did some looking around and found it. Greg 15:46, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

Re-directs

We do not allow editors to decide on their own to re-direct any article they so choose. Kindly check with a Admin before doing so, okay? Better idea would be for you to be prepared to recommend articles needing to be deleted, yes? --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 07:03, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

The template had the person's name spelled wrong, unless it is referring to another character not listed in my Iliad. I just sent it to the right page. Do I need to delete the redirect? Greg 15:32, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
  • I was talking about the Lend-Lease mess. Always check with a sysop before doing those sorts of things, unless it has to do with articles you create, and even then, wouldnt it be better to just ask a sysop to delete the mis-spelled page, rather than do a re-direct? --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 15:35, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
Ah, I see. There wasn't a misspelled page for the template, I created the page the other night. Would you be able to edit the template so it goes to Pandarus instead of Panadaros, or however it's spelled there? And then, if you need to, delete Panadaros. Or you could keep the redirect, I'm not sure if anything links there.
As for the lend-lease, I was fixing a double redirect. Office of Lend-Lease Administration redirected to Lend-Lease, which redirected to Lend-Lease Act. Whenever I'm on Conservapedia and can't come up with article ideas, I've fixed double redirects. Is that something I shouldn't mess with? Greg 15:40, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
  • Perhaps you should be asking. Perhaps it is better to simply delete some of them, eh? we have lots of parody and subtle vandalism here, and I wouldn't want you to become suspect in your motives by some others. Always wise to check first....it doesn't delay your good works by much. :) --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 16:07, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
I'll do that in the future. Where do I ask? Just on the article's talk page? Greg 16:08, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
  • That is fine..if no answer post on mine, and I will round up the main editor of the article! DanH is around often as well, as is TerryH or RobS. --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 18:27, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

Just checking in.....

I hope school and everything else is going good! :D --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 23:25, 27 September 2007 (EDT)

It isn't going too badly... just very time-consuming! I signed up for an AP Comparative Government class that is taught before school, so now I have even more to do! Oh well... Greg 19:56, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

CO

Yeah that was my mistake (kinda). I got a weird glitch in the server - where it marked CO as having added the "I'm Done" section FIRST - I'm aware that he re-added it at one point, but I went back to see who was the first person to add it - and for some reason CO's name was there. I've double checked now though, and I see that it was Porthos - hmmm, well sorry for that - I unblocked him as soon as I found out.--IDuan 19:37, 30 September 2007 (EDT)

I was watching the Recent Changes page, saw him add it back in, then you block him. It's no problem, glad you caught it. Greg 19:39, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
  • CO was welcomed by me and Andy! Thank you for taking care of it so promptly! --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 19:52, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
    • Haha, sure, although I was the one that failed to recognize the glitch. I now see what happened - for some reason half of the div page didn't load when I went back - so I saw the edit attributed to the guy who made the subsequent edit (if that makes sense). Again, sorry--IDuan 19:54, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
I was watching the Recent Changes log, and saw him create an account. Greg 19:53, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
Amazing effort, Greg! Our hats are off to you tonight! Godspeed.--Aschlafly 22:37, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
Thank you! Greg 22:38, 30 September 2007 (EDT)

Thank You!!

For your quick action! --şŷŝôρ-₮K/Ṣρёаќǃ 01:01, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

I just thought I'd check recent changes, and let those in the contest earn their points. I appreciate my banhammer barnstar! Greg 18:27, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Hey, please let Admins add the welcome template, ok?
Sure thing, I just figured it was something the people in the contest wouldn't want to worry about, but I'll let you handle it. Greg 19:35, 4 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Thanks, Greg. Another Admin tried to IM you, but you were not on AIM, and I figured you were trying to help. It's just that if you welcome too fast, they could be a troll or worse, until they are checked out. --şŷŝôρ-₮K/Ṣρёаќǃ 21:00, 4 October 2007 (EDT)
Sorry I'm not online, I've been watching the UK football game. I've generally been watching the first few edits of the users I welcome. Greg 21:34, 4 October 2007 (EDT)
