Its fine. I Just thought since it has its own article in spanish and portuguese that it needed one in English. Thanks for the review though.Im new on this--Scoobynaiter123 (talk) 03:54, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Self redirect
Thanks for the comment I missed that and have now created it again with the correct re-direct, you would have thought the tagging and deleting editors would realise it was a mistake and ask me! MilborneOne (talk) 10:55, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. In James Oswald (Glasgow), you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Mill, Whig and Abstract (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:51, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Articles for creation/Chief Architect Software - A7 Speedy Deletion
Hello TTO, I wanted to get in contact with you regarding the latest review you provided for a page I created - Chief Architect Software. The article has been rejected several times - each time I've gone back through and tried to remedy the reviewer's issue with the article. I think I've done as well as I can. However, I just don't understand the A7 rejection. In the world of 3D CAD software, Chief Architect has a relevant presence. There are numerous other articles about other CAD programs that have been allowed to be created. Those other articles are poorly written (in some cases), some have no references, one page consists of nothing but a link. Yet these other pages have been allowed to be created. Here are 3 examples of CAD software pages that have been allowed for creation:
The Chief Architect page I create has much more content and citations than any of the above. Forgive me, I'm just frustrated at the Wikipedia process that allows these bare bones articles to be created but rejects mine when it has significant content and references. Can you please help me understand the A7 rejection? I think this page deserves to be created. Thank you, Skieridaho (talk) 18:27, 8 December 2011 (UTC)SkierIdaho
- You raise a good point. I agree that your page is better than those articles you mention. But those articles were never "accepted", people went ahead and created them directly in the main article-space. I don't really think they should exist either; I'm going to nominate one for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Punch! Software, and we'll see what other Wikipedians think. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:15, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
- CAD software has become paramount in the field of design. Professionals don't spend forever drawing things out by hand anymore - they use software. There are numerous software packages out there aiding in that endeavor and are significant in their effect on the design field - Chief Architect is one of them. The other software pages I cited have not been done well - given the chance, the Chief Architect page will be (and perhaps more on the topic of CAD software). I still do not agree with your nomination for an A7 deletion for Chief Architect Software. This product (and others like it) have a significant presence and effect on the field of professional design. 207.88.114.211 (talk) 17:49, 9 December 2011 (UTC)SkierIdaho — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skieridaho (talk • contribs) 17:01, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
- The boilerplate message links to the general notability guideline. It requires "reliable, independent (third-party) sources (e.g. online news articles or professional reviews) providing significant coverage of the topic". That is what you need to allow the article to be accepted. You've put a lot of work in, so it would be disappointing if the article was deleted, but sadly I fear Chief Architect may simply not have the required coverage. — This, that, and the other (talk) 04:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Recently the article for creation The Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Medicine Podcast was rejected can you help?
I have been asked often about why I dont have a wikipedia article of my podcast. I was asked this a month ago when `I was asked at the main meeting of the `International Atomic energy agency in vienna where I was nominated by my country Australia as a delegate because of the podcast. The podcast is the longest running (serious) medical podcast and people look to wikipedia to have information and a 3rd party information. What do I need to do to make this article about my podcast worthy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Nuclear_Medicine_And_Molecular_Medicine_Podcast — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.215.88 (talk) 19:16, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

- Look at this pie-chart (particularly the minimal articlespace contributions). How much opposition would that generate? A huge amount: there is no evidence that I know content policies and guidelines (which is quite true: I don't really). Then take a look at this one. Most of those are {{wi}} redirects.

For the Common Good questions
Hello This, that and the other, when logging into your tool, it prompts for a username and password and mentions that it will be saved to disk. If I enter this, where does it save this file, and will I be able to delete that file. (Note: I use WIN XP). Thank you, Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 16:06, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- It saves the login info in the same folder as the program is saved, to a file called "ForTheCommonGood.cfg" (so long as you run the program by double-clicking its icon - if you open it from a web browser after downloading it, who knows where it will end up). Very easy to delete if you wish to do so (although FtCG will recreate it again the next time you run it and enter your credentials).
- Merry Christmas. — This, that, and the other (talk) 23:19, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help. I must say your new tool is extremely efficient. You quartered the time it takes to transfer a file to commons with this wonderful tool. It is well designed and extremely easy to use. Thanks for the work you put in to making this. Best, Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 03:11, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Local uploading
Hi, I reverted this edit. All free images should be uploaded to Commons, also user page images. We even have a template for that, see Commons:Template:User page image. Multichill (talk) 12:08, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

The thing that concerned me was that Jojofi kept coming back and doing the same thing over and over again at completely unpredictable intervals, and a request was posted to his or her talk page to stop doing it but it kept happening anyway. It's also important to realize that indefinite protection isn't permanent protection; except in a few rare really severe cases, the protection will always be taken back off within a couple of months anyway.

Source code of FtCG
Is it possible to update it to 1.0.2? Bulwersator (talk) 12:50, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- Sure is; will do. I'll try to remember to update it more regularly. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:10, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! I have certain small ideas to increase speed of my description processing. Bulwersator (talk) 06:03, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- When writing FtCG, I certainly didn't have speed at the forefront of my mind - it's pretty easy to code sloppily in C#! If you manage to make any improvements, please let me know and I would be happy to incorporate them. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:36, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

- So I will try 2008 version Bulwersator (talk) 07:03, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Is it possible to update it to 1.0.2.1? (I use patched version) Bulwersator (talk) 08:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Whoops, missed this one. Well, obviously, you can't define instance members in a static class; it's a great sin of .NET programming. In all seriousness, I suspect this was an error in the source which I uploaded to the server, and then I subsequently noticed the error and fixed it in my local version. Try making the member static and see what happens. — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:44, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'll upload 1.0.2.2 in an hour or so :) (I really need to write a script that automates the upload process.)
- Just out of curiosity, are you willing to let on what your patch consists of? — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- 2 hacks (see in edit mode, as nowiki tag removed newlines):
adding en template to existing description: from else { text = "== {{int:filedesc}} ==\n" + text; } to else { text = "== {{int:filedesc}} ==\n" + text; if (!text.Contains(@"{{en")) { text = Regex.Replace(text, @"\|\s*Description\s*=\s*(.+)\s*\|", "| Description = {{en|1=$1}}\n|", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); } } and my infotag is different (filling author field with "Original uploader: "... and date with "{{original upload date}}: <date>") to avoid pointless copy-paste (this one may be dangerous to enable as default, as sometimes it possible/necessary to fill author/date with different data): var uploader_link = "[[:en:User:" + iis[iis.Count - 1].Attributes["user"].Value + "|]]"; var infoTag = @"== {{int:filedesc}} == {{Information |Description = {{en|1=}} |Date = " + (exifDate != null ? "{{ISOdate|" + exifDate + "}} (from metadata)" : "{{original upload date}}: " + FormatTimestamp(iis[iis.Count - 1])) + @" |Source = {{own}} <!-- change this if not own work --> |Author = " + (selfLicense ? (uploader_link) : "Original uploader: " + uploader_link) + @" |Permission = |Other_versions = }} ";
Bulwersator (talk) 10:08, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- In 1.0.2.2,
{{en}}
is added automatically like you have done there; I wrote a very similar regex :) Also that stupid "I ... created this work entirely myself" phrase gets replaced with{{own}}
. I will upload it soon (don't know what happened to that hour...) — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:23, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, if you make a list of extensions to install I will do it, thank you! Petrb (talk) 09:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Looks like the only links to the page are to user pages that watch for CSD's. Am I right? The only other link is to a discussion page where I originally proposed the idea. It fell flat on it's face though. Aww. fredgandt 02:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- User talk:Philosopher was transcluding this page and hence showing up in the CSD category, so I thought there might be other uses. But it turns out there weren't. I subst'd the use on that talk page, so now it is orphaned. Sorry about this; it can certainly be deleted now. — This, that, and the other (talk) 03:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- No problem at all. Thanks for sorting my mess out there. It was an idea that went nowhere, so I figured during my cull of scripts, I could clear out a couple of other failed ideas. Anyhow, all dead and buried. I better go and explain to Philosopher, why his template isn't working (I completely forgot he had adopted the idea (the only one who did)). fredgandt 03:23, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

- Yes, I caught those and fixed them (I hope). If you want to use the fr.wikipedia local wiki data file, please download the fixed version from http://atlight.github.com/ftcg/fr.wikipedia.wiki. Thanks for letting me know, though. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:06, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Twinkle commit access
Just wondering if I could have commit access to Twinkle. I know a bit of JavaScript (I've written a few scripts), but nothing major like Twinkle. If approved, I plan to make mostly minor fixes and bug-fixes. (My user name is mc10.) Thanks. —mc10 (t/c) 05:03, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't own the repository: AzaToth does, so you'll have to ask him. He's rarely active on enwiki these days, and I haven't heard from him on IRC for a while, so your best bet for contacting him would probably be by e-mail or a github message.
- It would certainly be good to have you on board, to act on things at WT:TW. I try my best to stay on top of it, but it can be difficult. — This, that, and the other (talk) 05:09, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- You've essentially become the project lead. If it's possible to share repository ownership, you should ask AzaToth to share it with you. If he's becoming inactive, it's best for someone who is still active to secure top level access before he goes totally dark. Sven Manguard Wha? 15:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- AFAICS there is no way of sharing repository ownership on github. If AzaToth ever goes away altogether, I would probably fork the repository (so I have ownership of a copy) and then use my fork as the central repo. But AzaToth does usually come back, so I don't expect to need to do that. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- In fact, he just returned today to sync the gadget (finally!). So he's clearly around. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not here, it's only the ghost of years past :) (Have had alot IRL to take care of, job etc...) →AzaToth 20:28, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Magic spell
You proposed Wikipedia:Magic spell to deal with "unpatrollable" pages for deletion as redundant. But as far as I can see, the bug still exists. Please explain to me how to remove the patrolled tag from User talk:RHaworth/patrl tst (new pages listing) without using my trick. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- The issue is supposed to be fixed; perhaps consider reopening bug 30368 and linking to this instance. Obviously, consensus is to keep the page, and I'm not at all against this consensus. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:22, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

New Page Triage engagement strategy released
Hey guys!
I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.
It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:16, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Your self redirects
Hi there. I'm responding to a request to fix some of the odd double redirects on WP:AN, and noticed that you've got some double redirects in your own userspace. This unnecessarily confuses the bot scripts, so I would like to delete the following pages:
- User:This, that and the other/self redirect
- User:This, that and the other/circular redirect1
- User:This, that and the other/circular redirect2
The English Wikipedia should not be a testing ground for redirects, that's why we have test.wikipedia.org - please feel free to create your redirects here. Please confirm that you are okay with the deletion of these pages. Thanks, The Helpful One 12:52, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- If you want to keep these pages, policy says that you may; WP:UP permits userspace testing and does not prohibit any redirect in userspace, except of your main talk page. Nyttend backup (talk) 13:27, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- And indeed I do wish to keep these pages. They are used for testing Twinkle, which is not used on test.wikipedia. — This, that, and the other (talk) 23:35, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Two things:
- This tb is being placed with a personal twinkle (yes, it works!)
- Please tell me if the "global twinkle" idea is doable. I don't mind being the only one to work on it, but I do need to know if its doable or not before I try to do it. Since you wrote the config code, your views will be highly appreciated.
Regards Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 10:52, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Why did I not think of that setup?!
- The Twinkle config code does not use ResourceLoader, so I see no reason why it should be a problem. The code at https://github.com/azatoth/twinkle/blob/master/twinkle.footer.js is where it all happens. Amalthea wrote most of that code, so you might like to ask him for deeper insight. Good luck in your endeavours with this. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:08, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
Documentation for gadget authors
I saw you had done some work on heavily-used gadgets. We're trying to start a library for gadget authors to use. Please check it out and post any questions or comments there. -- ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 01:10, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
People's Champion, perhaps. Not the actual champ.
I, too, am a fan of Chael Sonnen. Regardless, you have no business falsifying a Wikipedia entry. That sort of stealth vandalism is a break of faith with the user base and it undercuts the reputation of the wiki. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at List of UFC Champions, you may be blocked from editing. SwordsmanRyan (talk) 06:19, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- As it happens I was reverting some edits which made the article appear totally broken. Since the same editor that removed Chael Sonnen also broke the article display completely, I reverted the edit in its entirety. I appreciate that someone more knowledge about the topic has repaired the article. While I may have accidentally falsified the entry, I do not believe my actions constituted vandalism, since no malicious intent was involved. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:24, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

TTOBot Questions
Hi TTO, I was just willing to ask that after you manually invoke TTObot in the JavaScript console by typing masstag()
or massremove()
does it automatically start tagging and removing. If not, then could you please explain.--Ankit MaityTalkContribs 05:07, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Please don't use the masstag.js script. I have approval from BAG to run it under the TTObot account only, and only for a narrow scope (see User:TTObot). If you have a request for TFD, please ask me. Otherwise, consider using AWB or editing manually. — This, that, and the other (talk) 08:03, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
