Welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia
|
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

Wikicup has started
The Wikicup has started! Good luck! |
Yotbot (talk) 01:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Wikicup Notice
Hello Juliancolton. We have come to a conclusion after dicussing the way points should be counted. You must make a page were you keep record of your edits. It should look like this and it should be called user:Juliancolton/Wikicup Edit Count. It will be checked by our judges to make sure there is no cheating. If we find that there was a very large margin of error, you will be disqualified. Remember, any edit which does not figure on this page will not be counted in your final score. Thank you for your attention. |
Yotbot (talk) 23:24, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
WikiCup Points
Hello Juliancolton. You may stop updating your wikicup edit count (unless told otherwise by a judge) as it will be done by a judge from now on. Thank you, Yotbot (talk) 21:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC) |
Thank you
Thank you for your support in my RfA which passed 24/0/0. I will do my best to better Wikipedia with the administrative tools that the community has seen fit to grant me. Special thanks to Shapiros10 for nominating me and if you ever need anything, feel free to ask! Malinaccier (talk) (review) 18:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
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. Would you be willing to mentor me, at least until I can work out what qualifies as "Simple English"? ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 14:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll be sure to keep that advice in mind. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 19:45, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Razorflame 00:56, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
I hereby award you this cookie for becoming active again :). It is part of my drive to welcome back editors that stopped editing for a period of time with cookies :).
On a more serious note, it is great to see editors that I haven't seen before editing on this site :). Cheers, Razorflame 00:56, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
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 :).

Thank you for voting in my recent RfA. Unfortunately, I have decided to withdraw from the RfA due to concerns brought up in the oppose votes. The final tally was 4 supports and 6 opposes. I would like to thank American Eagle for the nomination. Razorflame 22:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
External websites
Hi there Julian. Here at the Simple English Wikipedia, we use Other websites instead of External links. Do you think that you can remember to change them in any articles that you write in the future? Thanks, Razorflame 20:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for your support on my Rfa. I haven't forgotten your request to look at your new Tropical storm article. I have been away for a few days exploring some of the old gold rush areas in central Victoria. Lot's of fun. --Peterdownunder (talk) 03:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

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. The Rambling Man on tour (talk) 19:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Congrats...
Click it to see your "simple" mop ;)

Administrator
Hi, I see you are an admin at en. Just sort of covertly I wanted to show this to an admin so they can delete it from edit history which the first admin did not think of. ~ R.T.G 17:23, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Rollback
Hello there, JC! I'm just on a friendly visit to ask for rollback rights. I've used it before on -en so I'm sure I can be trusted and I've read the relevant pages on Simple (WP:Rollback, WP:VANDALISM, etc...). Thank you for considering and have a good day! Cheers, RockManQ (talk) 01:39, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I fixed them.

Kalajan copying from en:
Hiya, I've let him know once already that he has to reword the article into BE850/1500, define any other terms and add the {{enwp based}} tag to the talk page. I'll remind him again and get him to review a couple of the ones I've done recently. fr33kman t - c 17:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- 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)
- Thanks, ignore the new message you have where I ask this :-> fr33kman t - c 17:57, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
See here
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)
- Looks like they've been blocked already. I'll go clean up those articles, nonetheless. Cheers, –Juliancolton (talk) 15:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Test page
I noticed this in recent changes (Deletion log); 03:02 . . Juliancolton (Talk | changes) deleted "User:Toliar" (QD G2: Test page). Someone else created this, right? Because I don't recall making a user page. Toliar (talk) 07:25, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- As I thought. Thank you. Toliar (talk) 20:29, 18 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)
Thanks
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. I promise I will continue to do my best as an editor, admin and 'crat, and I won't let you down! Thanks again, Kennedy (talk) 20:57, 23 February 2009 (UTC) |

Buffalo x 8
Do you have a Simple English "translation" of said phrase? Would be useful imho... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, currently working on that. –Juliancolton | Talk 21:14, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- I ask mainly because I spent five minutes trying to work it out myself and didn't get much further than... "Bisons from Buffalo..."! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:16, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- It is indeed confusing. I make it out to be roughly "The bison from Buffalo, who are bullied by bison from Buffalo, also bully the bison from Buffalo." I just have to conjure up a good Simple English translation for that. :) –Juliancolton | Talk 21:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Have you ever read the "History" carefully? It's clearly wrong in some points. Please discuss in "talk".
Ello.
Hey Julian, I was wondering about your deletion of the article Positivism. As, it is located on the En.Wikipedia [3] and has a pretty long article there. Couldn't it have been expanded? Thanks, :) Papercutbiology♫ (talk)) 19:39, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Restored. I've never even heard of Positivism, so you'll have to help me out in terms of adding content! –Juliancolton | Talk 19:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. :] I'll begin working on the article soon. Papercutbiology♫ (talk)) 21:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
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)

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)

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)
