User talk:Creol
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Hello, Creol, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.
Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows.
If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.
Good luck and happy editing! zephyr2k 16:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] == deletions ==
When marking pages for deletion, do not delete the content. It makes it twice as difficult for the administrator. Just add the delete template to the top of the page, along with your reasoning. -- Netoholic @ 06:24, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hello, Creol. After you have tagged an article, nominate it at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion. It makes the deleting job easier. Thank you!--Tdxiang @ 09:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jose Rizal
You really transformed that article. Just wanted to show my appreciation for a job well done! zephyr2k 01:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations: You have been awarded a Barnstar!
For lots of great work, especially in removing "you" from articles!--Blockinblox 18:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC) |
[edit] Units of Measurement
I was just looking at your contributions. I think they look very good. I might take another try at it. It needs to have a very simple accessible introduction. I think it is moving in that direction. I am stunned at what some people think is "simple" English. And since this is supposed to be easy to read for children, I have no idea what some of these people are thinking.--Filll 00:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you!
Dear Creol, thank you for voting in my Rfa. You changed your vote from an oppose to a neutral. Despite that, Netoholic still has concerns. As such, I will not be promoted to administrator status. However, I do not hold it against him. Once again, thank you for your constructive criticism!--Tdxiang 02:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] On edit wars
As I have already told User:M7, fighting edit wars with vandals is usually a bad idea. Vandals want attention, so if you give them attention, they win. Given that the current two vandals are probably sockpuppets of the last one, it is not worth investing time in fighting them with edit wars. Issue warnings, and report to admin team. -- Eptalon 23:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sorry
I am sorry, if the statement above gives the impression that you are into edit wars. I should perhaps not have written it in that way. -- Eptalon 23:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] redirects
Redirects are there so that we do not have to bypass them. Can you imagine the extra work you've done, especially if someone decides to rename the page again in the future? The only redirects you need to bypass are DoubleRedirects, so please don't make more work for yourself and future editors. -- Netoholic @ 00:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Good Work!!!

[edit] I'm sorry
I would like to say I'm sorry if I offended you by both adding some Anti-Mormonism things to the article and when on the talk page I said if you have a problem with the truth don't read this article. Some of my edits made the article negative but it is all truthful stuff. You truley add a lot to wikipedia. Thank you and god bless--Sir James Paul 23:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category: Cereal Killer?
Hello, I think you mis-spelled the Seriel Killers cat, do you want ot move it or shall I? -- Eptalon 22:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] thanks
thanks for the welcome :) I'll probably be adding several rewrites from English in the next few hours/days to fill out the list of articles every language should have. Cheers, -- Brassratgirl 06:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
Hi Creol, thanks for your work in creating categories. I popped in to suggest that maybe you should fine-tune the criteria with which you create categories a little bit; to take one example, Category:Airlines of Israel is a rather minor category, especially when we only have one article in Category:Airlines at the moment. While I do agree it's good to be specific, if there are too many minor categories, users will have a difficult time finding articles through our category system. Often the (main) English Wikipedia will have categories for the most minor of things; however, that's because they have close to 1,500,000 articles, compared to our 12,000. So, when creating categories, please be specific when necessary - but general otherwise. Thanks, and please keep up the good work! - Tangotango (talk) 09:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. But the wanted categories list is, after all, just a list of categories that are linked to on at least one article and aren't yet created, so you might like to think about changing those links on the articles instead of the other way around :P But to be honest, I'm glad somebody's categorizing all the articles here. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 10:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello Creol, when you create all these categories, please look that we do not end up with one-article-categories. A category is not useful, before there are not 5-10 articles in it. -- Eptalon 20:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I never edited your user page
I never edited your user page. Why would someone who wants wikipedia to be a great place edit your page. Plus I have nothing against you. Don't go and accuse me of editing your page. Thats BS and you know it. Get a life dude and don't lie like that because your making me look bad and remember the truth will set you free. Thanks and god bless.--Sir James Paul 02:26, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
How did I edit your page? Tell me. I frogot you can't since I never edited your page. God bless.--Sir James Paul 02:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Appearently you can't read because you read your user site history wrong. I would like it if you would stop being a jerk. Have a nice week.--Sir James Paul 02:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Why are you so mad that I gave you a barnstar. That does not make any sense to me. You were making it seem like I really messed up your user page. Sorry for being rude. Please forgive me.--Sir James Paul 02:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I find it a little rude that you are not answering me.--Sir James Paul 03:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- OK, let's break this up. Creol, the actual policy on user pages is up to the individual user whether they want people to edit them or not (personally I'm fine with people editing mine, but it's OK if you want no-one else to). Your first message to SJP was a little harsh, so just calm down and think about what's actually happened. SJP, keep cool, no personal attacks. Can we let this go now? Archer7 - talk 10:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Creol, I would like to appologize for personally attacking you, It was wrong of me to do that. We both lost our cool and acted like little kids. The reason why I got so mad was because you were a little rude when you talked to me on my talk page, and I responded back in a very rude way by personally attacking you and by asking an admin to block you, sorry. If you go and look at your user page history you will see that all I did was give you a barnstar, wich I had a right to do, and if you don't want people giving you a barnstar then don't work as hard and that will answer that problem. I still think your rude and I still really don't have overly good feelings towards you but I am willing to move on. I would like you to appologize because on your first comment you were very rude to me and way over reacted. It is not my fault that you don't have a DON'T GIVE ME A BARNSTAR OUR EDIT MY PAGE on your page. I was enough of a man to appologize, but are you? I will be expecting a appology on my talk page. I really am sorry for this mess. Hope we can become friends. Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir James Paul 12:26, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

- James, will you chill out? Before taking someone to task for not responding (people don't spend all day here) check the person's contrib list... See, Creol made his last edit here about seven hours ago, maybe he's been sleeping all this time. When he starts editing again you can assume he's seen his messages... Okay?

[edit] Gophers
Well, oops is all I can say here. (I learned an interesting fact, however :D). I'll add it back, if you haven't done so already. Thanks for pointing it out! PullToOpen Talk 15:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
