AFD

As an inclusionist, please review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of relationships with age disparity and please take a side.

Done. Thanks for drawing my attention to this article - before this, I didn't realize there were Article for Deletion discussions.

Thank you for your good word! I don't think you did anything wrong at all. Motor was being obnoxious, got on your tail (and those of other Keep voters who got the link to the AfD) and you were defending yourself. S/he reminds me of the Tireless Rebutter on Flamewarriors.

He/she was really starting to tick me off and I had to constantly edit and re-edit what I wanted to post because if I posted what I really wanted to say, it would've been reported as a personal attack. Jaguara 23:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I see you've been here for a while, but haven't been given a proper welcome! Anyway, for what it's worth I entirely agree with your statements on the Beethoven talk page, I think at this point most people are simply ignoring that guy in the hopes that he'll get bored and take his racist clap-trap with him. Cheers, and welcome!

Please help - inclusionism is "absurb" now

Sorry to bother you, but as an Inclusionist wikipedia things are getting desperate and I need to appeal to your for help. We are facing a situation where a deletionist admin is free to declare inclusionist arguments "absurd" and ignore them at will. If you don't agree with this situation, please share your opinion here. Kappa 02:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Kappa, while I wholeheartedly agree with your stance, and since the fact is that no one would ever know this article existed without entering it into the search box (in which case, they would want to see the article), I have found that AfD's are little more than a justification for deletion, the inclusionists are a minority with no actual voice, and that if an article has already been deleted, in the light of the impossibility of 'winning' an AfD, it is hopeless to try to regain it. I also want to say for the record that I don't have any problem with 'mass-spamming' people's attention to these types of things - freedom and information thrive on conflict and diversity, and the more people who bring their opinion to a discussion, the better. --Milton 04:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Beethoven

Thanks- I really am interested in improving the classical wiki pages, but I doubt whether I have the time or all the data at my disposal to do a proper job on more than one or 2 articles. I am glad that you took my remarks in their right spirit. All the best

School IPs

Hi Milton,

Yah, school IPs like that one are nothing but trouble, but policy forbids indefinitely blocking IPs unless they're open proxies. If that one comes back on Monday with more vandalism I'll block it for longer. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 21:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Bill the Galactic Hero

I don't understand how your deletion of so much of this article is inclusionist. It seems almost vandalistic.Markisgreen 02:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Response can be found at the user's talk page. --Milton

• Thanks for the clarification. It does help. Appreciate your quick response. From the newbie:Markisgreen 02:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Blue Mountains Youth Council

What do you mean "Please create a user account so I can help you with this article. Until then, reverts"? Gaz (talk?) 03:07, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I see what you mean, I just thought it had a chance as an article (after extreme editing). I'll leave it to you as to whether it should be tagged for deletion etc. Gaz (talk?) 03:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, you deleted it on your talk page, so I'll put it here, and hope you see it. I'm generally opposed to deleting on principle. The City of Blue Mountains page provides a link to the council page, and the youth council seems to be affiliated with the city council, so I think it's worth working on. Thanks for your attention and swift response to me edits. --Milton 03:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

• I boldly ignored all rules and closed the AfD discussion myself. (I'm not an admin by the way). I may get flak for doing this, as there seemed to be a lot of delete votes. Still, I think that I did the right thing. The article material is now all safely tucked in City of Blue Mountains to be edited, deleted, vandalised, etc. Cheers! —Gaff ^ταλκ 20:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Milton Stanley/sandbox

Hello. Just letting you know that while experimenting with tags may be a nice opportunity for you to figure out how they work but they can also be a mild annoyance for people trying to clear various tag-related backlogs. In particular, I've removed the {{hangon}}. Cheers, 03:07, 31 May 2007 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pascal.Tesson (talk • contribs)

about morris palter

Hello Mr. Stanley,

I don't understand. How am I not allowed to put something up about Morris Palter when I AM Morris Palter? I have not violated any issues. Why would my name be marked for violation before I have even put anything up? Why is a another party allowed to mark my name for an entry? How is that legal? This makes no sense to me. Am I, Morris Palter, not allowed to have any information about myself on Wikipedia?

Milton,

I see. Someone else has to make my entry...

moving things at WP:DPL

I noticed you're still having a little bit of trouble with how to move things around on the WP:DPL page, so maybe this will help. When you finish a dab, click the edit button at the top of the whole dump. Then, in the same edit, you can (1) cut the whole line from the to-do section and (2) paste the line at the bottom of the done section. Then you can add any comments you have after the "links" link. You won't have to retype the whole line that way, and it also comes off of the "to do" list so that other people won't think it still needs to be taken care of.

When working with WP:DPM, which is just a sort of automatic weekly update of the DPL list, you don't have to edit anything. The only problem was that Advanced Level entered the DPL list for the first time around the time you finished it.

Thanks again for the work you've been putting in! Dekimasuよ! 02:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Cleaner

Hi,

I saw your post on Escaladix page about your problem with CorHomo. Escaladix seems to be very occupied on other matters than Wikipedia right now (we haven't seen him much in the last months). I take this as an opportunity to talk to you about Wikipedia Cleaner, a similar tool I have written very recently. It's still under development, but it works and is already being used by several people on the French Wikipedia and even on the Hebrew Wikipedia. If you try it, suggestions and ideas of improvements are welcome (in French or in English). I did the English version of the help page myself, so it's probably in a bad English, you're also welcome to improve it .

--NicoV 17:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the syntax fixing on the documentation --NicoV 19:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I think the English version of the documentation should be in the English wikipedia rather than in the French Wikipedia (like it was just done for the Hebrew page) and to have true interwiki links between the translations. What do you think ? Where should I put the English page ? I don't participate much here, so I am not sure where to put it. --NicoV 11:47, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, moved here, some links should probably be modified to use things on the English Wikipedia rather than the French one (templates especially). --NicoV 20:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Sure, you can upload english-versions of the examples, that will be better for the documentation here. I think that you should upload them on Commons. My own requests about uploading screenshots of Wikipedia Cleaner are :

• Use the same licenses as the screenshots I have uploaded (GFDL + CCA 2.5)
• Give proper credits in the upload page, something like :
  • Description: XXX of Wikipedia Cleaner
  • Source: Hardcopy of NicoV's work, Wikipedia Cleaner
  • Permissions: Permission given by the author of Wikipedia Cleaner to upload screenshots of this tool under double licensing, see below

BTW, you can enhance the English as much as you want .

If you wonder why I have removed the title bar of the screenshots I have done, it's because I am working under Windows and the XP title bar style is licensed by Microsoft. I didn't know until someone on Commons warned me about this. --NicoV 03:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Edit war

Please check out Anna Anderson. Major edit war on this article. I can't figure out how far back to revert the article to.--Markisgreen 04:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

From what I've seen, there are several people arguing through the article about the veracity of the information in the article instead of using the talk page or some other forum. It seems like the article needs to be locked, the participants warned and the page reverted to its last stable version. I'm not an administrator or anything, just a casual user. And interested in the topic of the article (anastasia, russia, ussr, etc.). Looking through the history, the article clearly has a stormy past.--Markisgreen 05:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, Milton. By intelligent usage, I'm refering to your sage words of advice on that talk page (for Anna Anderson), your sage thoughts on your user page, your attitude of inclusion, your response to my question about Bill the Galactic Hero, etc. I think you're a great asset to wikipedia. Keep up the good vibrations.--Markisgreen 05:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

morris palter article

Milton,

Many thanks in putting up the article about me. I appreciate it. No errors that I could see. I might add my photo if that is okay.

Morris

thanks milton

Whoopee! My first barnstar! Thanks, Milton--Markisgreen 02:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

MTSU & East TN

Sorry for the delay in witting back. Nice to meet you! Yes, I am from Oliver Springs and I graduated MTSU in '01. I would love to see the MTSU articles grow... but frustratingly I'm in Louisville KY and out of the loop on a lot of stuff. I'm always hoping for information or help for E.TN and MTSU articles. JNAllen 01:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

FYI message left for editor

I left a message (re Anna Anderson) on 209.136.71.163's talk page if you're interested in reading it.--Markisgreen 04:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Perennial

Hi Milton

I just noticed you disamiguated "perennial" to "perennial plant" on the Abundisporus quercicola page I just created. I can see your point, but... there are a couple of points I'd like to talk over with you. This is not a plant, it is a fungus (very different believe me) and the sense of it being perennial (it stays on its tree for years and just gets bigger) is rather different (although similar in some ways) to the sense of a plant being perennial.

I see 3 options: leave it as it is (most people would get the idea I think), create a "perennial (fungus)" page and link it there (I would try this if you think it is a good idea) or just not link the word perennial in the article at all (it speaks for itself in a lot of ways).

Let me know what you think. Richard Barlow 11:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Edits

On User talk:Bobo192, Milton Stanley said:
I was wondering if you would tell me why you deleted my disambiguated link to Gamal Abdel Nasser. Feel free to respond on my talk page.

Ah, I see what happened. Me and an IP address were making an edit to the same page at the same time, and I think somehow I must have caught one of the links at the same time during preview.

I hope the page is sorted out now, the reversion caught most of the fixes. Thank you for alerting me. Bobo. 04:32, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

On User talk:Bobo192, Milton Stanley said:
Not a problem at all. Just wanted to draw your attention to it, in case it was an error of some sort. Regards

Such are the perils of editing Wikipedia so early in the morning, that two people crossedit their posts. I shall be sure to watch out for any further problems on that page. Bobo. 04:40, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Alrighty, glad that got sorted out. Get some sleep. :)

No worries. It's happened a couple other places too. --Milton 02:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
