User talk:Robin Patterson

Hi!
Would you like to add information about Porirua to the cities: Wikicity? --CocoaZen 03:03, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)


 * Kia ora! Yes, I noticed your contributions.  Thank you!  I'm rather neutral on some things like the category of cities vs city, especially this early in the game, when it wouldn't be hard to change.  I'll respond to other discussions you started there -- soon, I hope.  --CocoaZen 21:42, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hello i would like it if you visited my In Living Color Wiki please go to my homepage at METLOVER21 and youll find the link there i would apreciate it if you left a comment and told other people thank you Metlover21 01:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion
Why not use Template:Babelbox2? It's created by me so I'll be happy if you appreciate it. And usage - upssdr  talk 04:38, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Kia ora!
It seems the Babelbox2 doesn't work normally. Danielwang want to standardize all babel templates into a CSS style. But now the layout is not right. I believe he is working on it. As I'm not familiar with CSS, I just hope he can accomplish his mission. Otherwise, that's only a suggestion, it all depends on you whether you want to use the template. - upssdr  talk

Thank you for your suggestion.
Dear Robin, Thanks for your suggestion. It helpful.

One thing strange to ThQn is when I use Help:Contents as you suggested, it always link to http://thqn.wikia.com not go to help on http://www.wikia.com and many of internal links within Wikia always be like that!

I don't know why but I keep on seek for the door out.

Cheers, RobinTh 12:43, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

More Robins
Nope, just you, RobinTh and me so far as I know. Of course with the IDs, there could be more of us, and we just wouldn't know. ;-) Thanks for "stopping by" to say hello!  And, no, I don't know any Thai either.  (But I like the food.)  I don't even think we have some Thai Babel templates here yet.  --Robin 01:41, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

tour bus stops
As far as I can tell, none of the meatball wiki tours link to wikia. It looks like MemoryAlpha is on the "Eclectic Wiki Tour". When I looked at the meatball tour system several months ago, I was intimidated by all of their requirements for adding a wiki to an existing tour. --JWSchmidt 03:13, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Tucson Move
Go for it! I'll help when I get a chance. The only contributor I've contacted is the founder, who is also the main contributor. She's fine with the move. --CocoaZen 17:28, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks all the work you're doing on this! I changed the notice on the Tucson home page from a request for adoption to say that changes should no longer be made there.  Since it's had such low traffic, I'm not sure that a freeze is even necessary.  Feel free to ask for one, though, if you want.
 * Also, thanks for saying nice things in my defence. I hadn't taken the comment personally, but it made me feel good when you said something.

Welcome
Robin Patterson, Welcome to Engineering Wiki!

Hello, and welcome to Engineering Wiki. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Welcome to Wikia! Thanks for removing your little test. I hope you can enjoy contributing to one or more of the hundreds of individual wikis available.

Site referring Templates
Hi Robin, You're going to need to show me, sorry. On Left Space, can you take a look at the wikipedia template and see if you can get it to work on the Sierra Club page? That's what I have been having trouble with. Once I understand the syntax from a working example, I'll be able to use it. Chadlupkes 20:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Administrator
Hello Robin, Congratualtions on becoming an admin of the Central Wikia. Please read (or re-read) Help:Administrators' how-to guide to ensure you know how to use your admin abilities. Please be very cautious about editing official pages such as the terms of use, which should generally only be changed by Wikia staff.

Thanks for tip
Hi Robin _Im away from home for the weekend but when I get back I will move all my pages across to my sandbox using the tip you gave me. I do appreciate you keeping an eye on me. My application seems to have fallen into a black hole. I resubmitted it a couple of days ago to try and gee them up but have heard nothing. I will wait to see what happens on Monday but if I dont hear anything I will email Angela as I assume she is the person who collates permisions? Cant wait to get started. Lifeartist 14:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for welcoming me!

Anthere
Angela just informed me of the existence of the account user:Anthere. I did not open it, nor did I wrote the very rude message on the talk page. Come on, I can be rude, but to that point? Angela will do it so that I retrieve the account. 83.205.48.213 13:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC) (ip tracking to MY city).

Gradually getting the hang of this
Thanks again for your sound advise. I am in a flurry of activity and its hard to keep all the balls in the air at the same time. Forgot to follow your tip on case even though I digested it at the time so learnt the hard way and had to move a number of pages to get the consistency. Hope things calm down next week. I feel I have made good progress tho', enough to start getting other people involved. What do you do about backing up your sites? I would hate to lose all my hard work. Keep popping by. I like the thought of you half a world away muttering at my indescretions!!!! Lifeartist 23:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Re:StationIj
I understand, but you must remember that there was a language barrier. At the time, I was just trying to stop the specific contributor from blanking the main page over again - sorry if I didn't mention in my message that the information wasn't in "the right place." By the time he read my message, he most likely left. Will he come back - we'll have to see. I'll be sure to use more caution in warning users in the future, even in Greek. --Master Jay 03:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for the information. I saw the redirects and thought that was a good temporary measure. And thanks for the info at the tutorial. I'm sorry I haven't been around on Cities for awhile. (I have stopped by to check for vandalism, but haven't had time to contribute. I have also been taking some pictures to add... eventually.  Things are getting a bit less crazy-busy, so I hope to be around more.)  Thanks for all you've been doing! --CocoaZen 03:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Genealogy Wikia vandalism
There's a huge amount of vandalism over at the Genealogy Wikia, Robin. Just thought you'd like to know. I reverted some of it but I don't have a lot of time today. Also, do you know if it's possible to "semi-protect" pages or even entire Wikis in Wikia? I sincerely believe it would solve 90% of the vandalism problems if users were required to log in using a user name before editing. It would also be a better solution than fully protecting articles and main pages, which negates the idea of all users being allowed to contribute. I'd love to hear your views on this. Thanks Nhprman 20:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Link alternative to + tab

Collaboration of the month
Hi Robin, Towns, Villages and Cities has the most votes this month... so we need a blurb to put on the front page. can you write one at Collaboration of the month/Cities/Blurb? You can use Collaboration of the month/Shopping/Blurb as a model. Don't forget to include specific goals for the collaboration. Thanks! -- sannse (talk) 09:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for completing the Brand Audit User Survey. We really appreciate your responses. Lots of improvements and new features were suggested, and I hope you'll see these being implemented over time. The results are now being analysed by a PR firm, so you might see some interesting changes to the design of the site as a result.

Hi Robin I saw your note on the Jackson Hole discussion page, I've responded there. Thanks, -- BillK (talk ) 22:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

CotM
Hi Robin. Genealogy is the next collaboration of the month. Perhaps you or Bill could fill in the blurb at Collaboration of the month/Genealogy/Blurb? There was discussion on the forum about spreading out the changes to the main page a bit, to keep interest there. So although I've taken this as the winner now, it will be changed over on the 15th (and stay until 15 Jan). Which also gives you some extra time to get the blurb done :) Thanks -- sannse (talk) 20:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Urbepedia
Hi robin! thank you very much for your participation at Urbepedia, you've made great edits. I have been in hiatus in wikis during the past 2 months due to intense workload in my real life, so i just found out your message today. Hope that more people would be participating in urbepedia as well, it is still trying to find its shape. Please note that I will be away for half-around the world travel in December and January so that I won't be online so often. But wow, I really look forward to learn from you about many things, and look forward for your further contribution in urbepedia community! Chaerani 11:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

WP author list
Thanks for offering to track down the author list. It would be useful. Do you think you could raise the issue at WP? It needs a policy to maintain the contribution list when substantive pages are moved and/or amalgamated. Thanks for your visit to my user page last month too. As you see I have been very busy on the Psychology Wiki and trying to keep a fulltime job going to means I do not do as much communicating as I should.Best wishesDr Joe Kiff 10:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

From user page
Hi Robin

Thanks for the input. Someone (you?) left a comment on my blog about the wikia / wikipedia thing already. So I have edited it.

I am still coming to terms with this wiki thing. Not sure if I am on the right track? Do you have a blog or website I can visit?

Saw you edited some of the pages I put up but cannot find the changes done. What am I doing wrong?

Regards Rob Smorfitt

Thanks for stopping by on Psychology Wiki
Hi Robin. Thanks for stopping by again.As usual your comments were spot on. I particularly liked the idea of commenting out the interlinks. Why I hadnt thought of it before amazes me!!!!! it solves a problem I had been wrestling with for some time.CheersDr Joe Kiff 13:14, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Journawiki and Starter Pages
Hi, thanks for your note. Thanks for your work on the starter wiki.

But I had not used the starter wiki yet, mainly because I already had a fair number of pages before I saw it, and I thought it only had about three pages.

Now that I see that it has more, I might use some. I have been focusing more on article-type pages. Journawiki gets very little participation. It hasn't needed any policies yet. Maurreen 08:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear Robin, I just wanted to say hello and welcome to WorldHealer. Thanks for your contributions so far -I'll peruse them properly soon.

Re:

 * Hi. I believe that those pages fell under CSD #4 (Very short pages with little or no context). All of the three pages had only one edit to each, and those were (as stated in the deletion summary):

Page                          Content

USA                           United States of America USA/New York                  New York USA/New York/New York         City of New York

As you can see, the actual content of those pages were basically the page titles themselves. G .He (Talk!) 15:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * From WP:CSD, pages that are "test pages (e.g., "Can I really create a page here?") can be speedily deleted. I'm sure that Wikia's not going to have a wiki about New York or even USA for a while, so I think it was the right thing to speedy delete those pages, as that user might've been looking for World Wikia, for example. Central Wikia is not a place for people to post test pages or off-topic content. There are a lot of other wikis for testing, like Test Wikipedia, The Test Wiki and so on. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 18:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Jack. We have http://newyork.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page and http://upstate.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. It's always risky to say there isn't something unless you've had a bit of a look for it. Robin Patterson 11:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * First of all, there wasn't really content to preserve in that specific situation, unless you'd prefer it if something like

Page                          Content

USA                           United States of America USA/New York                  New York USA/New York/New York         City of New York


 * or a link to the deletion summary was left on the user's talk page (which I felt unnecessary and unsuitable for that case because that would, in a way, imply that the user does not remember the names of the 3 places he/she created pages on, which may be insulting: " "). To be honest, I feel that I'm quite generous with i, and if those pages had a paragraph or even a few sentences, I would've used it and allow time to transfer actual informational content.


 * As for the "pointing" part, I noticed that it wasn't the first time the user saw a wiki, as he/she already requested the Government wiki (which was approved). Therefore, I felt that he/she already knew what he/she will be doing (the Government wiki) and that it might not be entirely necessary to direct him/her to Scratchpad or the Requests wiki (since that already took place!).


 * One could argue that all pages, no matter how short, can theoretically be improved and made meaningful. Therefore, if a user comes along and makes pages like:

Page                        (ONLY) Content

NYDP                        New York Police Department FDNY                        Fire Department (of) New York LAPD                        Los Angeles Police Department A-Z                         Uppercase letters a-z                         Lowercase letters ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ  The Alphabet 0-9                         Digits
 * -)                         Smile
 * -(                         Frown
 * '(                         Cry

LOL                         Laugh out loud ß                           ſs/Eszett WOW                         World of Warcraft, or, Willy on Wheels!
 * they should all be i'd and deleted only after a full 7 days, because they could be careful attempts to start a meaningful set of pages about common everyday life abbreviations (and they all have the potential of great expansion) and simply an honest mistake, and they shouldn't be speedied because they aren't really vandalism/spam/anything offensive? (The examples are not much different from actual pages, which were basically stating the abbreviation of titles that are common in everyday life.) In that case, one would have to treat any page creation, no matter how small, as an opportunity for expansion, so what good is delete? The only problem in that system is that there might be an overflow of i's, especially if this becomes more common with more people (I'm not sure if pages with similar content would go through an AfD or a PROD on Wikipedia). Then again, if the intent is to allow time on all page creations (no matter how small), what makes 7 days a long enough period? Who knows, the newcomer might simply be dropping by, but won't get to see the notice until the 8th day due to a busy week, putting the original intention in vain and yielding the same results as an earlier deletion. Wouldn't that be a pity for somebody doing something good?


 * Good day to you too. G .He (Talk!) 00:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Robin
Hi,

I just read your post on go.org.nz. I'm the sysadmin there but am not in charge of content. I have recently shifted the site from running in my hot-water cupboard to running in the US and am trying to get it running a bit more smoothly.

I'd love a hand managing the site, I periodically log into WikiSysop and purge spammers but at the same time I want to keep access as open as possible so that casual users can add pages when they're having a tournament.

At your suggestion I've set the default licence to GFDL, though I'm not entirely sure I can do that since I didn't write most of the content - Edwin did.

Happy New Year Robin
You stopped by the psychology wiki and helpfully left a really useful template for redirecting templates. But somehow I lost it. Could you point me in the direction of it again? Thanks. Best wishes. Dr Joe Kiff 18:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC) I've tried that but still cant find it. Its so annoying as I could have used it 50 times! Have you got it on any of your other wikis?

Forum:Advance Australia Fair
Hi, there's no need in Category:Australia there, because this category is a redirect to ;Category:Oceania, but including a page into a category which is a redirect doesn't mean including it into the target category. So noone could find this page by category name 'Australia', people will be redirected to 'Oceania'. I've come to this page to change category to Oceania, however when I've found that it's a forum page (see what other pages in Category:Oceania are), I've simply removed it. If you want, you may change the category to Category:Oceania, but there is no sense in leaving it in Category:Australia as you did. Медиа (Media) 08:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikia disclaimers‎
Hi, you commented that "better than nothing for a page that nearly every page links to". I'm wondering where the link is (I can't find it in monobook nor monaco). I'm interested in seeing if the link can directly be modified via mediawiki messages to point to central, instead of having nearly every page to point to a page that simply tells people to go to another page. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 19:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, in that case, I think you made a typo. It should be "Project:General disclaimers" instead of "Wikia disclaimers".  Proj:General disclaimers is the one being linked to by virtually every article in the CologneBlue skin, whereas nothing actually links to Project:Wikia disclaimers.  Additionally, I think probably makes more sense to edit messaging.wikia.com so that the disclaimer link on CologneBlue points to Central Wikia's page directly by default (and then delete the page from starter).  If you think that makes sense too, I'll ask the staff to change the link's destination to central.  And if you disagree, we can trade reasonings (-:  -User:PanSola(talk/history) 04:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Cities
Robin - It's been an intensely busy year for me, but things are begining to calm down. So, I'd love to stop by the Cities wikia a bit more often again. I've been trying to get the Home wikia started up. One of our current goals is to get a few new participants this month. Could you please drop in and enter some content -- even if it's only one edit? Thanks! -- CocoaZen 13:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism warnings
Hi there. I just wanted to say thanks for warning the vandal that I reverted. I wasn't sure if we had vandalism templates or not, so I just left it alone. If your going to reply, please do so on my talk page instead of here. Thanks, RyanCross (talk ) 04:07, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, yeah. ;-) Thanks for the welcome. I'll do my best around here. Thanks, RyanCross (talk ) 05:28, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Bots
Bot work is really something simply broken down to:
 * 1) Grab a list of pages to work on
 * 2) Grab the content from a page
 * 3) Modify that content
 * 4) Ask for confirmation if needed
 * 5) Put the content back onto the page

Really the most complex step is the modification of the content. You might have to be a bit more specific, I don't know what you need specifically, and I do have a contract at the moment I should be focusing on. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Sep 6, 2008 @ 11:49 (UTC)
