Hey

Hey are you busy?? Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 21:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, why? -Orashmatash (talk) 21:57, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wanna collaborate on an article for (V)GA? Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 22:16, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, though I can't guarantee I'll be incredibly active (I've been a bit busier in real life lately). Which article is it? -Orashmatash (talk) 22:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You choose :) Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 23:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure to be honest, you can choose, I don't mind. -Orashmatash (talk) 12:25, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want to work on the Solar System, you've nominated it for CB before. I don't want to keep asking users to help me with articles that interest me :/ I like to be more flexible :-) Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 12:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, Solar System it is. :) -Orashmatash (talk) 12:29, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which section would you like to do? Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 12:57, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want to start from the lead and work our way down? -Orashmatash (talk) 12:59, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that'll be perfect. But do we need all of the sections presented on enWP? Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 13:15, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No; a key issue with bringing articles over from the English Wikipedia is including excessive detail. Maybe we could just pick out the best information to include and just bring that over? Best, -Orashmatash (talk) 13:36, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so you can start off with the first para of the lead and I'll go on the second para and so fourth until we reach the subsections then we could organize our work on the talk page :D Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 13:38, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! :) -Orashmatash (talk) 13:42, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved my work here, whenever you are ready :-) Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 13:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great, I'll get started on it later today. Best, -Orashmatash (talk) 15:08, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, there's no need to rush things anyways :D I have asked another user to help us since s/he was editing space-related articles. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 15:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have already made a start on Solar System in my user space. Feel free to copy/improve it. DJDunsie (talk) 20:12, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks! -Orashmatash (talk) 21:14, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@DJDunsie are you going to work with us on the article? :D Or did you began working on the article from before? Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 21:38, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I began working on the article before (by myself) but I am more than happy to do it with you guys. I was just simplifying en.WP, leaving out the excessive detail and, reading above, that seems to be what you were doing. How shall we merge this with this? DJDunsie (talk) 10:16, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
That's a good question. I guess we could look at the two and replace any more complex words in one of them with a less complex word from the other? -Orashmatash (talk) 10:52, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a good plan to me. Would you like to do it? DJDunsie (talk) 11:06, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok well you can add my second para from my user space, or you can bring in you're work to mines. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 13:22, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's ok, I'll merge the intros. DJDunsie (talk) 18:55, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you guys are making good progress; my sincere apologies for not being able to help out more, I had a few-day break last week and I've either not had time to or forgotten to help with it; hopefully I'll be able to help out more this weekend. -Orashmatash (talk) 20:20, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Flood Flag

Be careful what you use the flood flag with. You should not use it with anything you need admin tools for. Only uncontroversial things like adding a stub tag or the like. Things like imports need to be seen in the recent changes. -DJSasso (talk) 12:14, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. -Orashmatash (talk) 12:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article You Deleted (Geocentric orbit)

Could you userfy it to User:Tomtomn00/Geocentric orbit? Thanks. ~ ⇒TomTom N00 @ 20:02, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -Orashmatash (talk) 20:04, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. :D ~ ⇒TomTom N00 @ 20:05, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Copyright

please protect ([edit=sysop] [move=sysop] (indefinite for both)) Wikipedia:Copyrights. Jerome (Ian Streeter) Just my changes! 20:46, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page hasn't been vandalised since 2008 when it got its semi-protection. I don't think full protection is needed. If another administrator wants to fully protect it, I don't mind, but I don't think it's necessary. -Orashmatash (talk) 20:17, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orashmatash

The article exist on Wikipedia I'm looking at it now? Is something wrong with the way it is in the code?Smorris80 (talk) 20:10, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is the Simple English Wikipedia, not the English Wikipedia. The article exists on the English Wikipedia, but not here. I think you might be looking for this page. Cheers, -Orashmatash (talk) 20:14, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you are right...dang it! Wrong page...I didn't even catch it. Thanks so much!Smorris80 (talk) 20:21, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bot reverts

Hi Orashmatash. I just wanted to notify you of my recent reverts (of today). Since I was around and there was a vandal I wanted to try a new tool that marks rollbacks as a bot. So you cannot see them normally on RC. I had to inform someone, so I chose you. I hope it's not a problem. Regards, --Frigotoni ...i'm here; 14:32, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The reverts look fine. :) -Orashmatash (talk) 16:21, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually they shouldn't be hiding them. Our vandal bot reverter for example specifically makes sure its reverts are seen in the RC. We want reverts to be seen in the RC. -DJSasso (talk) 17:05, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@DjSasso: As I said before, I was doing a test, and seeing 5 vandalisms here on simple.wiki, I thought it was a perfect chance to undo them (and try the tool). I'm aware that all reverts should be shown in the RC, this is why I preferred informing Orash.--Frigotoni ...i'm here; 17:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a tool you eventually intended to go into production with hence why I mentioned it. -DJSasso (talk) 17:14, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell

This is bullshit. Were you notified about this? Osiris (talk) 18:40, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. I was a bit baffled when I saw the rapid edits; what do you suggest? -Orashmatash (talk) 18:41, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Given the complete lack of response from the "teacher"? No idea. Make a note of every page they touch? They're just copying and pasting from enwiki. And making a mess. I want to block the IP on principle since we weren't notified. I won't though. Osiris (talk) 18:44, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, from the sudden quietness of RC, I'd say they've stopped (at least for a bit anyway). Now might be a good time to try and communicate with the "teacher". Let's see where it takes us. -Orashmatash (talk) 18:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing stopping people from doing it and they aren't required to notify us. We encourage it. Try to remember it is part of our mission. That being said copying and pasting is not good. -DJSasso (talk) 19:33, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I'm just ranting. I'm not saying they're required to, but our WP:Schools page certainly asks for it. The only reason I knew this was a class of people was because they'd all been previously blocked on enwiki, evidently from not having notified anyone of what was going on. Osiris (talk) 01:07, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

BHW work

Thank you for helping us on the Big Heritage Weekend. I hope you like the barnstar! Macdonald-ross (talk) 06:57, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I apologise for only making ~three edits, but I do think that it was a good topic to have a big weekend on. Thanks for the barnstar too! -Orashmatash (talk) 15:17, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Waheed Murad

Hey, hoping you're still online. Could you please review the sitation at this article. It's either in need of protection, or some other kind of action. Since I am one of the three editors reverting this user's actions, it's better if another admin takes a look. Osiris (talk) 13:45, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll have a look. -Orashmatash (talk) 14:06, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
