User talk:BeBop~enwiki

Welcome[edit]

Hi and welcome to wikipedia. I noticed you had a blank talk page, so I decided to welcome you. I hope you like it and decide to stay. Here are some handy links for newcomers.

Also you can sign your name on talk pages and vote pages with three tildes like this ~~~, and your name with a time stamp with four like this ~~~~. Howabout1 02:10, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Warning[edit]

Stop disrupting wikipedia or you will be blocked. Use discussion pages, that's what they're there for. --W(t) 03:11, 2005 May 29 (UTC)

BeBop: You need to stop violating Wikipedia policy. If you disagree with how the speedy deletion mechanism works, that's fine. However, you must go through the proper channels. Do NOT remove the speedy deletion tag; this is vandalism. Also, do NOT revert the same article more than three times in a day. That's violating the three revert rule. I suggest you follow the rules, or else you will find yourself banned. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 18:55, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid that Linuxbeak is wrong, as you're doubtless aware. You're perfectly entitled to remove a speedy delete tag if you think that it's incorrectly applied, or if you are going to improve the article.

On the other hand, you should avoid using the template to explain matters to other users (as at User talk:Feydey) — their Talk pages then appear on Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, which is a pain for admins trying to clear up speedies.

Don't create empty user pages[edit]

Please don't create empty user pages for other users. It should be up to them to decide when/if to create their user page. --cesarb 16:27, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User pages, even their main page, are owned by the community. BeBop 18:11, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it's a longstanding unwritten tradition of courtesy that, except for the User talk: pages, the User: pages should be edited only by their corresponding user. --cesarb 19:16, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal[edit]

Please do not revert a page that is awaiting to be deleted. This is known as vandalism. • Thorpe • 17:44, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Those other comments on your Talk page back this up as well. • Thorpe • 19:28, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship nomination[edit]

I see you nominated Alistair McMillan for adminship, but didn't think to notify him. Please bear in mind that if someone isn't told of their nomination there is no way they can accept it, and hence they cannot be promoted. In this case someone else had to sort out the formatting of the nomination, and tell the nominee they were actually up for a vote! — Trilobite (Talk) 20:35, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

purposeful deadend pages[edit]

(from the village pump)
Now listen here, I have no problem with blank pages being deleted. However, In an effort to make Special:Wantedpages useful I have created some blank pages at places like User:Anthony DiPierro/warning because they appear high on the list of wanted pages. Lots of stale links point to this. The obvious solution is to fix Wanted Pages, but that is a long way coming. There are a ton of other userspace pages there that would do no harm in being blank, dead-end pages. I've been threatened as a vandal with being blocked for creating some of them. I'm being bold and these pages do no harm. In the case of making Wanted Pages useful it is helpful. If someone has a solution other than blank dead-end pages at these locations, WONDERFUL. Until that exists, can we leave these in place and stop the vandalism threats? BeBop 15:25, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Creating empty pages doesn't solve anything. These links are on Most wanted pages, because they are linked to and need content. They will still be wanted if you create an empty page.

Still, user pages are an special case here. User:Anthony DiPierro/warning, for example, probably had some sort of template on it Anthony used in his editing. The links are left, but his decision not to use it anymore should be respected. If you think this creates annoying redlinks you could ask Anthony to redirect it userpage himself.

In general it's a smart thing to only create articles on this list and leave all the other links. If you want something changed in someone's userspace it's common courtesy to ask first. This will help people get a grip on your intentions and help prevent accusations of vandalism. They can only know what you're doing if you're telling them.

I hope I've been somewhat helpful. Mgm|^(talk) 13:23, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

Nonsense of Kal[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Kal, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Kal provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Kal, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called BeBop. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name BeBop~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
