Template:Convert

If/when you revisit updating this template, would you please update the documentation, too? Some of the doc is out of date, and it would be nice not to have to go to enwiki to see what functions are available. I would do it myself, but even the doc page is protected. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 20:51, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Freeline skates

Hi, I would like to ask you, why do you keep deleting my article abou freeline skates. It's not an advertisement, It's my my college home work, which is really important for my study. Is there any chance to keep it up at least for a month?

The article in its current state is not neutral and is also unsourced. I can put a copy of the article in your userspace (User:Mihaalskej/Freeline skates) so that you can take your own time to improve it. Do also take time to look through WP:NPOV and WP:CITE.

Deletion

Please restore Monad into my userspace. They are notable as one must use them to perform IO in Haskell and some other pure functional programming languages. πr² (talk • changes) 05:34, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

We should redirect instead of deleting

The articles 2013 Atlantic hurricane season and the 2013 Pacific hurricane season-we from the Univ of Northern Iowa are highly suggesting redirect to related hurricane pages instead of delete. The reasons only hurricane names exist: the earlier information pushed it to WP:CRYSTAL, so it was removed. Can we redirect instead? The Univ of Northern Iowa school class at 166.216.194.53 (talk) 12:35, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, redirecting the articles to Lists of tropical cyclone names is a better idea. Chenzw  Talk  14:11, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Category:Current requests for permissions

Hey mate. Does this category do anything? I note that requests for permissions are handled on Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, and don't show up on the category. Can it be deleted? Osiris (talk) 14:32, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

The category currently does not include "minor" requests (rollback, importer etc.), but only those for administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser (basically those which have a page to themselves). This category is used by {{rfp in progress}}. Chenzw  Talk  14:35, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thanks. Osiris (talk) 15:05, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! :) Chenzw  Talk  01:53, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Closing RfDs

Hi Chenzw, could you please remember to move the discussion into the recently closed section when you close an RfD? Thanks Normandie 13:41, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Terribly sorry about that. Will remember in the future. Chenzw  Talk  13:45, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

/me readies trout... :) Normandie 13:50, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

		The Minor Barnstar
		Woohoo! :) Normandie 10:24, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Haha thanks :D Chenzw  Talk  11:32, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Whack!

Do not take this seriously. Someone wants to let you know you did something silly!

For this :P Normandie 13:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Another favour please?

Hey Chenzw. Sorry to bother you again: I'm trying to verify that Category:En copy-pastes is obsolete and unused. It seems to have been used by Template:Encopypaste when it existed, but now doesn't seem to have any incoming links that would indicate an existing function. It's obviously not a big deal, but if you've got some extra time to waste could you possibly try to remember if it has any remaining purpose? Thanks and best regards, Osiris (talk) 06:28, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

No problem with bothering me. :) I don't think it will be used any more - I can't remember any other template using it, and from User:Blockinblox's contributions (existing and deleted), it seems that the category was created for the template only. I will go and delete it for you. Chenzw  Talk  06:55, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you so much! Osiris (talk) 06:58, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Template

I should have also asked for en:Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists which drives the other templates. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 12:59, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Is there any problem with importing the template? Can I do anything to help? Many thanks! Racepacket (talk) 14:46, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Done. Sorry for the delay. Chenzw  Talk  15:44, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. We also need the subtemplate at en:Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists/row. Racepacket (talk) 15:48, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I have moved the articles using the template to article space. Racepacket (talk) 05:23, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Would you have time to import en:Template:FJC Bio? Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 11:55, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
