Tropical Storm Ingrid (2007)

Are you thinking of putting this up for voting at PGA? Giggy (talk) 00:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

Yep, this is your friend Dylan620 from the English Wikipedia. I'm an official n00b here, but local sysop American Eagle (talk · contribs) has agreed to help me out. (To tell you the truth, requesting his mentorship was my second edit as a registered user!) BTW, I've joined the Simple English WPTC. What do you think could be improved to the project? After all, Snake311's retirement in late July means that you and I are the only active members of the Simple English WPTC. --Dylan620 15:25, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Good to see you, too! :-) I'm beginning to get into the groove of the project; I just marked 2004 Atlantic hurricane season as a stub. Also, since there are almost no TC season timelines, I have the ultimate chance to truly exercise my timeline prowess. (Should I simplify that last sentence, or is it OK the way it is?) BTW, on the English Wikipedia, I've made my own header. Do you like it? And on a side note, Chris G Bot (talk · contribs) warned me for vandalism, saying that I vandalized your talk page via my first post on it. Would you call that vandalism? Do you think I was warned appropriately? --Dylan620 16:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I am also here. Look what i done with the 1997 Pacific hurricane season

Hey!

Thank you for welcoming me. I've seen you around the English Wikipedia quite a bit (actually, I believe I voted in your RfA), but, since the creation of Baduhenna was my first edit here, I'm a complete n00b.

Welcoming new users

Hi there Julian. I would like to recommend that you wait to welcome new users until they make at least 1 good mainspace edit. That way, two things happen. First, we don't create lots of pages that probably won't ever be used again, and second, we have the best possible chance to get more active editors :). Hope this helps :).

RFA ´grats

Hey Julian. Missed this, wasn´t even aware you were active on Simple, but I´ve been away a while. Nice one, enjoy the tools. This place (on a quick glance) appears to be going downhill quite a bit, lots of sniping and viciousness, particularly at RFA... Still, when I return I intend to shake it up a little, especially in the realms of making it into a decent encyclopedia, which I think a lot of people have overlooked. They tend to treat this is as another version of Myspace. Anyway, well done again, look forward to working with you on my return in late March.

He doesn't have to add the enwp based template to the talk page if he includes a link to the en:WP article in his edit summary when he creates the page, like I do. That way, he completes the GFDL requirements and creates the new pages :). Cheers, Razorflame 17:48, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

We recently introduced three new articles (Hurricane Opal, Hurricane Charley). See here also, Juliancolton.

Julian, do you think you could look at the edits of User:Minneapolis Public Library and help guide the user a bit? Since you have hurricane knowledge, you'd probably be able to help with things like the Hurricane Charley article and Hurricane Floyd. Thanks, Either way (talk) 14:58, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Hats

Hello. I noticed you removed information regarding the edibility of hats in the Hats article. This information is correct, and is by no means an opinion. If I am able to provide citation to an academic study or report regarding the edibility of hats, will you refrain from reverting my changes?

It is presumed that hats are not eaten, thus the information is not acceptable in the article. I apologize if your edit was made in good-faith, but it seemed like a test to me. –Juliancolton (talk) 16:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Just a note to say thanks, Juliancolton, for your comments and vote in my RFB which closed as successful with 25 supports and no opposes. It is my second unanimous request, which I find astounding. In my previous thanks (from where I stole the code for this one) I promised you I would do my best as an admin.

Is there more to why this is POV?

http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adolf_Hitler&diff=cur&oldid=1466300

Mention of Homosexuals having civil rights stripped is fact, explanation of the word Dictator as complete ruler IS the definition of the word. Perhaps my explanation of what the removal of civil rights means could be considered POV (I couldn't think of a better way to phrase it, will try) but "destroyed europe" is incorrect, Europe is still in existence and has not been destroyed. As you're an administrator, I'm going to leave any further editing on that page until I understand your justification. -Kingreaper (talk) 23:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, regardless of whether it's factually accurate, it's a pretty controversial statement; therefore it needs to be cited to reliable sources. Addition, "(treated as less than human)" is very POV. See the relevant policy for more information. Regards, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll try and find a better simple english way to describe loss of human rights. I made no factual claims that the article didn't already make, so I didn't think I needed to add citations. And I haven't seen any controversy as regards Nazi Germany's treatment of Homosexuality (regardless of the fact it was already mentioned in the article) but I will try and find a source for it if the articles OTHER statement of said fact is also unsourced. -Kingreaper (talk) 23:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Sounds exactly like what I expressed five days ago basically. Either way (talk) 01:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Dash?

What with all of the dash moves evidenced in your move log? There was already a dash there. I believe the dash you changed all those articles to make them harder to access. But I wanted to hear you side before I did whatever.--  † CM₁₆  05:29, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

A hyphen is not a dash; see WP:MOSDASH. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 14:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Also, they're not harder to access, as it left redirects behind. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 14:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay then, that's exactly why I wanted to hear your side first.--  † CM₁₆  17:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Request

Could you see my request at the bottom of Majorly's talk page.--  † CM₁₆  18:29, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

*weep*

I think this is the first time I've seen Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress actually approach AIV on enwiki. Last time I tried it, it took forever (in wiki-time) for someone to respond, and they (justly) denied it as a stale report.

I have faith in the system! Yay! ;) EVula // talk // 19:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Gah, I actually edit-conflicted with you to report them :(  GARDEN  19:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Your userpage

With regards to your Simple Wikiquote admin userbox – you're not EVula. :P --Dylan620 ^{Autumn leaves} 19:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

That's what I get for copy and pasting... –Juliancolton | ^Talk 19:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Haha, don't worry, there's a long and noble tradition of people forgetting to update the name when they swipe the template. You're in excellent company. ;) EVula // talk // 20:09, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

FWIW, I saw your ER, and I've added my review. Cheers, Dylan620 ^{Autumn leaves} 20:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Could you please review me in return? Thanks! --Dylan620 ^{Autumn leaves} 21:02, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Question

So we've got User:SchnitzelMannGreek, who previously engaged in major sockpuppeting on en-wiki, trying to start anew and put the past behind him here. I've agreed to mentor/adopt him, but as I can't always be on here, I'm thinking there needs to be another experienced editor also co-adopting/mentoring to watch over his edits and answer his questions while I'm away. Would you (or do you know somebody else who would) be willing fulfil this role? Thanks. Inferno, Lord of Penguins 21:51, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
