Wikipedia Admin
I have been an administrator since May 2006. Administrators have access to a few technical features which help with maintenance. I regard admin powers as a privilege to be used sparingly and judiciously, but if you require the assistance of an admin, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. If you want admin help, please do try to explain clearly what you want done, and why, and please do remember to include any relevant links or diffs. I'll try to either help you myself or direct you to a more experienced person if appropriate. |
Thanks
Thanks for assessing the Sermons page. I still need to add a few more resources. After that, I will try to put up some pages for Swift's "Irish tracts" and then one on the other Irish pamphlets. Also, work on Molyneux. That way, there will be a greater resource on early Irish constitutional independence movements for those interested in Irish history. By the way, The Drapier's Letters is up for FA review. There are some complaints by some grammarians to specific parts, but you might be interested in checking out the page and/or commenting on the Feature Article Review. Ottava Rima (talk)
Block of Pastorwayne
Hello BrownHairedGirl I was looking at the userpage of Pastorwayne and I noticed you blocked him. His block was a awful descion. He did nothing wrong. He helped a bunch of articles. On wikipedia i've noticed this campagain that targets Christians for contributing and the accusers are not Christians. My question is are you a atheist? And is that why you blocked him? Plyhmrp (talk)Plyhmrp
- No. He was blocked for miscreation of categories, disruption and ignoring concensus. BHGs religion, if any, is irrelevant. Kittybrewster ☎ 06:37, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- Indeed. Pastorwayne created so much chaos, distortion and sheer deliberate misinformation in Christian biography categories most of us would have seen him banned from wikipedia long before BrownHairedGirl gave up on him as well. She gave Pastorwayne and his many sockpuppet accounts every chance to end his disruption and sabotage and it was with obvious regret that in the end, she had no other option but to remove him. - Galloglass 10:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- Given the comments above, I had to go look to confirm, but to clarify, I blocked the user in question. It had nothing to do with anyone's religion. It had to do with exhausting the community's patience in several ways and instances. - jc37 11:44, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- Might it be worth doing a checkuser on User:Plyhmrp? - Kittybrewster ☎ 11:51, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- I think so. Enigma message 21:33, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Just a guess, but I think this is more likely a meatpuppet, than a sock. At the very least this seems to be someone who is POV-pushing. - jc37 02:06, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

WP:BIO
My, my, I"m still coming off the wrong way. Let me just put at it that this, I promise that I shall not interfere in your talkpage again, but I would appreciate it if you would discuss somethings with me on my talk page so I can make ammends and we can work things out. I'll explain things there, sincereley--Robert Waalk (talk) 00:20, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

No content in Category:Massacres in Scotland

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Massacres in Scotland, 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. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 03:40, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi! Someone arranged it so that Category:Massacres in Scotland, and probably others, have been deleted without any discussion. The person in question has removed all such categories (Massacres in Scotland, Golf in Scotland, Golf in Wales etc) from articles, seemingly unilaterally. Looks objectionable to me. What do you think as the category's creator? Punkmorten (talk) 07:48, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Categories should be proposed for deletion at CfD, not unilaterally depopulated/blanked (beacuse that leads to their automatic deletion without discussion, as in this case). I have restored Category:Massacres in Scotland, and you may wish to restore the others. I will leave a note for Darryl.matheson (talk · contribs). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:15, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Bottom-scraping navbox
Do you remember the box, much akin to the one at the bottom of this very page, that you have charitably created to substitute my proper navbox for talk pages? Well, I have located an interesting alternative that allows one to stick anything to the bottom, including large pictures and poems. I saw this use on a user talk page (I don't remember which) and through that I discovered this template. There seems to be a problem with items sticking out of the base of the page, but extra padding can solve that (also an idea I got from that talk page). To solve the problem with my collapsible template (which when collapsed revealed a white area behind it—the aforementioned padding), I modified it so that in the specific page I could use a parameter to keep it expanded and remove the "hide" link.
All this I tell you in case you are interested in a change here; I see your little box covers part of the text. I haven't yet experimented with Interiot's template itself—maybe tweaking its contents might solve the problem. The results of all this experimentation described above are to be found on my talk page; I haven't yet expanded usage of this new solution (when I do, "navbox tiny" will fall out of use, but it has served me well so far, and I thank you for it).
PS: I now look at the coding of both templates, namely your box and Interiot's general-use one, and I see many similarities. Maybe this whole post is pointless. It's not like I can tell the difference between the coding approaches. (wry smile) Waltham, The Duke of 02:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Red box
Can the box move down a bit please? It overruns the text. Kittybrewster ☎ 09:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Note to BHG – if you don't want to fiddle around with coding, just removing the line break (as per the one on my talkpage, which was cut-and-pasted from yours) will fix this problem) – iridescent 15:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
