Hi, [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia! Saw your question about the actor--I'm not sure what to do here either, but the place to go with questions is [[Wikipedia:Help desk]]. Good luck, and if there's anything else I can do, let me know on [[User talk:Meelar|my talk page.]] Yours, [[User:Meelar|Meelar]] 04:36, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

==User:Roylee==
Regarding Roylee, thanks for your response, and pretend nothing happened :-) He is just particularly troublesome to clean up after, and now edits from anon IPs. [[User:Wikiwizzy|Wizzy]]&hellip;[[User talk:Wikiwizzy|<big><big>'''&#9742;'''</big></big>]] 08:31, July 29, 2005 (UTC)


== Nobility stubs ==

Dear Robert:
You may not be aware that it is possible (and desirable) to sub-categorize nobility stubs. May I take the liberty of drawing your attention to the following?:

Category:Nobility stubs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
To add an article to this category, use {{tl|Noble-stub}} instead of {{tl|stub}}.

Please use a more specific template if possible:

British peer or noble, use {{tl|UK-noble-stub}}

European nobility, use {{tl|euro-noble-stub}}

French nobility, use {{tl|France-noble-stub}}

Fijian nobility, use {{tl|Ratu-stub}}

Royalty, use {{tl|royal-stub}}

Best wishes,
[[User:Staffelde|Staffelde]] 14:41, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

== Re: Roylee ==

[[Image:WikiThanks.png|right]]Hi, Robert. I'm terribly sorry for getting back to you this late. This is concerning your clarification over at [[User talk:Mark Dingemanse/Roylee#rpyle731]]. I never meant to drag you into it; I merely noted that one of the edits made through an IP usually used by Roylee was to your userpage. I have now removed your userpage from the 'suspect edits' list, since I want to avoid conveying the impression that you have anything to do with this person. Please accept my apologies; you're obviously doing great work here. Enjoy the sunflower and keep it up! Kind regards, &mdash; [[User:Mark Dingemanse|mark]] [[User Talk:Mark Dingemanse|&#9998;]] 17:36, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks, Mark. Not a problem. --{{user:rpyle731/sig}} 07:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

== New! BCAD drive from Milhist ==


Can I invite you to particpate in our new [[WP:MHA-BCAD|assessment drive]]? It's strictly for experienced editors and has a degree of friendly competition built-in. It involves re-evaluating around 3500 Milhist B-Class articles to ensure they match our new criteria. As ever, we're offering a range of awards as our way of expressing our thanks. The drive doesn't start until 18:00 (UTC) on [[March 10]] but you can sign up in advance '''[[WP:MHA-BCAD#Participants|here]]'''. It would be great if you can spare the time, --[[User:Roger Davies|<font color="maroon">'''R<small>OGER</small>&nbsp;D<small>AVIES'''</small></font>]]&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Roger Davies|'''talk''']]</sup> 05:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Rpyle, thanks for catching my typos, and for this necessary job of stub-sorting! I think, actually, I'm ready to remove the stub-template, though on my talk page I found a speedy deletion notification for that article--that's funny, but the joker didn't place it on the article.

I would like to add information to the Wikipedia page for Robert N. Hall and I saw that you were the most recent editor. Robert N. Hall recently was featured in a series of interviews around the 50th anniversary of the Laser on the blog "Edison's Desk". He is a retiree of GE Global Research (retired in 1987) and Edison's Desk is the GE Global Research blog. I think that adding links to the YouTube videos of Robert N. Hall speaking and looking back on his accomplishments to the laser technology industry would be a useful add to his page.

Hey doesn't assessing an article with AWB kindof defeat the point of assessment. When people assess articles, they get a chance to make minor changes on articles and make sure the article is categorized correctly according to the standard practice for their project. IMHO it is better to have the backlog (which I am aware is about 400,000 articles) than to just arbitrarily assess articles automatically with no indication that the article was assess through an automatic process. [[User:Sadads|Sadads]] ([[User talk:Sadads|talk]]) 08:09, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
:My concern is more that you are missing opportunities to clean up articles, including proper formatting and categorization, by pushing through the unnassessed articles with AWB. Generally, I make at least 3 clean up edits or tags for certain quality issues for every 3-4 articles I assess (if not more). The use of the semi-automated editor lessons the time you spend actually interacting with the page, and thus the liklihood of being able to actual make these clean up edits (which help move pages through backlogs and into backlogs so that they get more eyes on them).

== [[Babatunde Elegbede]] ==

I saw you rated this article as start class. I agree: it is a bit more than a stub but not a lot. I quite often start "Who's Who" entries like this giving a basic biographical outline of someone who has some level of notability. It seems to me that a subject may often deserve a cursory article that just gives the basic facts. Rating an article as "start" - or as "stub" for that matter - somehow implies that more should be added. Maybe there should be some sort of rating that implies "good enough". The article on a person, book, movie, place, whatever, gives adequate coverage given the relative importance of the subject. Thoughts?

I reverted your edits, which destroyed the major sections of the article (Design proposals, History, Design and construction), carefully crafted by [[User:Giggett]] to form a proper outline and context for the contents. If you feel that your edit was appropriate, I suggest that you discuss this with that editor in particular.

Best wishes,

Hi Rpyle731,

I just wanted to give you a heads-up about [[Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco_17|the next wiki-meetup]] happening in SF. It'll be located at our very own Wikimedia Foundation offices, and we'd love it if some local editors who are new to the meetup scene came and got some free lunch with us :) Please sign up on the meetup page if you're interested in attending, and I hope to see you soon!

== listas ==

FYI... the listas value for David McMullan is: listas=McMullan, David (not Macmullan).

Almost all the articles you did recently from the category "Biography articles without listas parameter" had serious problems from the same creating editor. Wrong birth dates, birthplaces, death dates and almost every Defaultsort... it is a mess. So, I've been trying to go thru them with a fine tooth comb. For new articles like these, I normally go thru them with a closer inspection, but these are in a whole new ballpark. Almost all the articles in the listas category are new articles, so best to keep a more watchful eye on these. [[User:Bgwhite|Bgwhite]] ([[User talk:Bgwhite|talk]]) 05:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
:Oh... the Biography banner is always the first banner. [[User:Bgwhite|Bgwhite]] ([[User talk:Bgwhite|talk]]) 05:20, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
::Double oh. NO spaces in listas or defaultsort. Should be: listas=Bowyer, Sam &nbsp; Not listas= Bowyer, Sam or listas=Bowyer , Sam or listas=Bowyer,Sam
::Mediawiki software uses the space (or lack of one) as a sortvalue. Bowyer,Sam will be the first Bowyer listed because the software thinks that is one word. listas=Bowyer , Sam will be the last Bowyer listed because the software uses the space as a letter. Bowyer,Sam problem is rampant in Asian names for some reason. [[User:Bgwhite|Bgwhite]] ([[User talk:Bgwhite|talk]]) 05:43, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

== Bugging you again ==

I haven't bugged you in a while, so hey, might as well give you a hard time. At least I'm not my wife... her definition of giving me a hard time is knocks with a "hard" baseball bat for a period of "time".

I've noticed you have been giving singers or composers a&e-work-group. They should have musician-work-group. Sometimes it is difficult because they maybe in more than one area. If their primary area is music, then go with the musician-work-group. I don't think it was you, but somebody else, that was using a&e instead of filmbio.

I keep seeing you name plastered in article's history, so keep up the good work. [[User:Bgwhite|Bgwhite]] ([[User talk:Bgwhite|talk]]) 05:29, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

== AWB request ==

I note that some time ago you did some assessment of California redirect talk pages as redirects, e.g. [[Talk:Interstate 880 (Sacramento, California)]]. Could you set up AWB to go through my contributions from 17 November 2012 and mark as redirect all the talk pages of redirects that I edited today? This would involve pages such as [[Talk:Gale Ranch middle school]], [[Talk:Will Rogers Middle School (Lawndale)]], and [[Talk:Gonsalves Elementary School]], which are currently marked as stubs.

: I would be glad to help, but it has been some time since I used AWB, and I was never an expert when I did use it. I'm not sure I would be able to make AWB do what you want it to. I can look into it further, and maybe I could cobble something together. A more proficient editor might be able to help you better.

stub-sorting

Hallo, Good to see someone else attacking the backlog! (Multiple Association Division was on my watchlist after I PRODded it, and, as sometimes happens, by the time I'd PRODded it I forgot to stub-sort it, so I spotted it when you sorted it - it's usually impossible to know who else is working on them). I hope that the recent flood of stubs was a one-off catchup operation and once we've got it cleared we'll be back to the usual steadier flow. I tend to pick off the ones which look interesting in some way - likely to be in need of a DEFAULTSORT, or to check for incoming links, or part of a set in some way, and I always take care of any which file under "P". If 25 other people adopted a letter of the alphabet we'd keep them under control! Happy Editing! PamD 11:52, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...And we've now got it down to below 100 for the first time in quite a while! Well done. PamD 23:44, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
... and now down to zero - though I see you last edited early this morning, and I'm sure I saw 48 or so entries in the list earlier today, so someone else has obviously blasted through a lot of them! Well done us all. Now we wait for the next bot to drag a batch of elderly untagged stubs into the category. PamD 21:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And I will be able to do some gnome-work on other areas I work on as possible. Rpyle731talk 01:13, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Banff International String Quartet Competition may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • {{music-event-stub}

 Done Thanks. Rpyle731talk

This Category seems to have the wrong description listed. I do not feel confident how to correct the problem. Rpyle731talk 03:23, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it! (diff). That's been that way since the category was created in 2008, so I think someone copy/pasted the template and forgot to change it. Thanks for noticing it! Howicus (talk) 03:56, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Tseng Kuo-fan's Former Residence may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 2 "{}"s.

Do I have the sort key and name field correct for this article? I have looked at the relevant manual articles, but wanted a second opinion. Thank you.

I have made some changes, following the precedent of Henry VIII of England. The {{persondata}} entry should be his name proper, not some sort key. The {{defaultsort}} entry doesn't matter all that much since we currently don't have articles on any other Wichmanns - if we had, I think your sorting and mine wouldn't have made much of a difference.

Opting in to VisualEditor

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:14, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has replaced this article with a Spanish version. I do not feel comfortable doing a revert, would prefer a more experienced editor to make the fix. Thank you.

Done!. Yeah, dunno why an IP editor felt the need to do that...fixed now, though. Happy editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 04:10, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Howicus. Rpyle731talk 04:14, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I assume this is IP vandalism, or perhaps just an incorrect edit. Not sure how best to proceed.

It may have just been a mistake. Either way, it's not constructive, so I just reverted it. That's what I'd suggest you do as well, if the edit is replaced. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 04:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
