~~Hello "Litefantastic" and welcome to Wikipedia. A few tips for you:~~

Litefantastic's Log:

==General Tips== *Peruse Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers and associated pages. *You can experiment in the Wikipedia:Sandbox. *Sign talk page entries with ~~~~, which is automatically converted to a name and date. *Ask questions on Wikipedia:Village pump. *Happy wiki'ing, -- User:Infrogmation 19:51, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC) ---- ==Alphabets derived from the Latin== Have you looked at Alphabets derived from the Latin? I've changed it quite a bit today. User:Bmills 13:40, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC) Nice tat a couple of other people have chipped in, too. Now to get it off VfD. User:Bmills 08:59, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC) ---- ==General Tips Revisited== Some advice I have received: ''Did you know that by clicking "show preview" rather than "save page", you can see all those little edits one at a time, but then submit them all together the end, and the whole lot only needs one "Summary" comment, and shows as one change in the page history?'' -- User:Onebyone --User:Merovingian 12:50, Dec 9, 2003 (UTC) ---- ==S�dermanland Redux== Hi. Hope I wasn't too blunt on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion about the Swedish geographical entry you listed for deletion and then cut and pasted. It's a learning experience for us all! User:Andrewa 20:06, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC) ==Rainbow== You recently nominated Rainbow as a featured article candidate. Rainbow is already a featured article, and I have removed your nomination. I just wanted to make sure you knew why. User:Raul654 13:08, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC) *Thanks. -User:Litefantastic 00:48, 7 May 2004 (UTC) ==Fiction of World War I== Please see my question on the talk page. User:Rmhermen 14:17, May 6, 2004 (UTC) *Check. -User:Litefantastic 23:10, 6 May 2004 (UTC) == Cthulhu Mythos References == Hey, no problem. I felt I had to add something as soon as I saw that article. Anyway, there are still some things that should be done about it. There is only one page linking to that article, which means people will hardly find it. There must be more references to it, or the article could eventually die. Maybe editing other articles that are somewhat related to the Cthulhu Mythos and adding a link to the references page could be a good idea. I say the H. P. Lovecraft article should link to it as well. I was thinking, maybe adding that article to Pages needing attention could be a good idea. More people would see it and more people would feel like adding content. What do you think? User:Mackeriv 13:12, 7 May 2004 (UTC) Go for it. -User:Litefantastic 23:33, 9 May 2004 (UTC) == Uploaded images == Please put ''some'' copyright information on the images you upload, even if you just claim fair use without saying why, else they take up people's time trying to figure out whether it should be deleted or not. Cheers, User:Pcb21 User_talk:Pcb21 13:39, 10 May 2004 (UTC) **Sorry about that. I'll go fix it; I just couldn't find the thing that let me explain (C) information. I'll look again. -User:Litefantastic 18:26, 10 May 2004 (UTC) == :Category:Archive of fictional things == Isn't this category redundant with the more intuitively-named :Category:Fictional? -User:Gtrmp 05:02, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC) *Fair enough. I didn't know there was such a thing. -User:Litefantastic 16:08, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Herbert/Hector Munro == Hi. Thanks for your note. Since different Internet sites didn't agree on the name, I checked the print Encyclopedia Brittanica. The name is Hector Hugh Munro. ==I made the Front Page!== My article on Bangsian Fantasy made the Front Page!

''From Wikipedia's Special:Newpages:''

...that the United Kingdom was the first country to offer its citizens a Postal savings systems?
...that Antarctica's Lemaire Channel is such a popular tourism destination that it's nicknamed ''Kodak Gap''?
...that the literary genre known as Bangsian fantasy sets its action wholly or partially in Hell?
...that the word ''ecology'' was coined by Ellen Swallow Richards, the first woman admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology?

-User:Litefantastic 16:28, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC) ==Listings on WP:PR== Hi, I've noticed you do a lot of good work, but two listings you've made on peer review are innapropriate. That page has way too many listings and each does not get the proper attention because so many listings that should be elsewhere. PR is for articles mostly written that have a chance of beeing featured. Lists can never be featured because by definition they are not prose. If you would like to request help with expansion please list them there. I didn't want to move your listings without a note here at least. Thanks - User:Taxman 04:20, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC) == Hurricade == Please tell me Hurricade was intended as a joke. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 02:35, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) It's not a joke. I don't do jokes. It is however, not really a word. Not yet. I confess that I have a tendancy to abuse the Wikipedia in that I will often invent words. Guilty as charged. I know that there is a rule against this, but I've found a loophole: if the article lasts long enough, it will actuall enter popular jargon. I cite amerime, which was written up ''three times''; once by me; twice by others. I don't use sock puppet user IDs. This is really the work of other people who use the word. Amerime is here to stay. And, you must admit, 'hurricade' is rather catchy. -User:Litefantastic 02:39, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) :VfD it is then. I was hoping you'd say "yes, it's a joke" so I could delete it without wasting everyone's time. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 02:40, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) ::You have no sense of adventure. However, I ''do'' see your point and, all joking aside, it's not like I do this to annoy people. I just like to fiddle with English. Incidentally, what sort of test would I have to undergo to become an administrator? I'm on the top 1000 most productive (or active, anyway) Wikipedians, and I certainly would be willing. -User:Litefantastic 02:44, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) :You could start by not putting your personal additions to the language into Wikipedia. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 02:51, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) ::I'm fighting the urge. I actually turned myself in a couple of times (like on 'ladder-down reaction', which had ''everyone'' fooled). -User:Litefantastic 02:53, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) :::To become an administrator, nominate yourself or be nominated at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. This, of course, is subject to vote. Also, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not the place for your personal linguistic inventions, however witty you may think they are. ---User:Slowking Man 09:25, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC) == Images == Ran across :Image:Revolving door.png through completely different channels. It was actually a very large BMP. I converted it and ran it through OptiPNG. Reduced the file size by 99.4%. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 03:33, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) *Sorry. I ''saved'' it as a PNG file, but I created it with MS Paint. -.-; -User:Litefantastic 11:11, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC) == Star Trek template == The reason I originally reverted was because I didn't see the relevance of having Star Trek XII: So Very Tired under a list of Star Trek television shows and movies. (If it were a list of, say, "anything related to the Star Trek universe", then I wouldn't dispute it.) It's obviously not part of the franchise (neither is Invasion Iowa) and neither of them are even mentioned in the actual Star Trek article, so it seems a little silly to put them in this template. User:Darkcore 03:47, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC) :Well, I'm not even sure that So Very Tired would be appropriate. This may sound blasphemous to some, but not ''everyone'' is familiar with The Simpsons, so putting SVT on there would be rather presumptuous (and potentially confusing). Plus, it's not as though SVT itself was a full-length movie (or full-length episode of The Simpsons); it was just "part of The Simpsons universe" and that's great. But it really doesn't fit in a "Star Trek television show and movie list", to me and I think a lot of Trek fans would probably agree. I'm not really a Trekkie; I guess I'm just a purist. :Besides, if we're going to include SVT or Invasion Iowa on this template, you're almost opening up the floodgates for *any* mention of Star Trek in television/film/pop culture to be listed there, and that's not really the purpose of the template. I always thought that they were supposed to be navigation tools to help people find very closely related articles (i.e., the University of Oxford has a template for all of its colleges, but that template does not include Oxford's many fictional colleges from literature). User:Darkcore 02:04, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC) ==WP:LCOTW== Dear Litefantastic. I'm sorry for angering you by posting the template here and have now removed it. Please believe me when I say that there was not meant to be any implication that you were in any way obliged to contribute. The idea was that as the LCOTW changed, the template would update and so users could see quickly when articles they were interested in came up. CLearly this should have been made more explicit. Once again, I apologise and I hope that you will continue to participate in the LCOTW project. Yours in Wikilove User:Filiocht 13:57, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC) I've actually changed the wording of the template now in the light of your perfectly reasonable points. User:Filiocht 14:58, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC) == liked your cleanup of Jackhammer == Just read you clean up of jackhammer. Good tightening; this is the kind of improvements that makes our incremental editing process really work. And thanks for supplying earmuffs for me. User:WpZurp 23:32, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC) *Thanks. "I live to serve". -User:Litefantastic 01:34, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC) ==Vandalism comment== Believe me, I didn't "bite the newbie." I simply thought that we might have had a new kind of vandal bot...or a signed-in vandal. I was being nice to the individual who was nice in return. Just my two cents' worth. - User:Lucky 6.9 20:30, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC) * No, you were right, you didn't. My mistake. -User:Litefantastic 01:02, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC) *No prob, bro. Thanks for getting back to me. Much obliged. - User:Lucky 6.9 01:05, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC) *Response on my talk page. User:MirvUser talk:Mirv Special:Emailuser/Mirv 19:59, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC) The speech bubble image is unprotected. User:MirvUser talk:Mirv Special:Emailuser/Mirv 03:06, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC) == Thanks a bunch! == *Thank you for the barnstar. I really appreciate it. The fun is not over yet, though. There are still more screenshots to come! :-) User:JoshG 06:57, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC) ==Featured article path template== Might I suggest that instead of starting another template, you simply modify the existing featured article template? User:Raul654 01:57, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC) == Box on front page == The thing was, it extended the box down and added nothing of real value to the page. Why do you want to tell people ''on the front page'' the five steps to creating a featured article? If anywhere, that belongs in Wikipedia:Featured Articles or maybe one of the How-To/Peer Review pages, don't you think? The box could definitely have a use, and by unsightly, I meant how it kind of screwed up the flow of the page. Don't take it personally, it's a good idea, just not for the front page. :) --User:Golbez 01:55, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC) == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information: *User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Wikipedia:Multi-licensing *User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "" template into their user page, but there are other options at Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: :Option 1 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below: : OR :Option 2 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below: : Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "" with "". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my User talk:Ram-Man. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- User:Ram-Man ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new comment]| User talk:Ram-Man == COTW == Congratulations, First Indochina War has been voted this week's Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week. Please edit it to help raise it to featured article status. ==Collaboration of the Week== League of Nations is the new Collaboration of the Week. Please join in helping make it a feature article. == Wikipedia:WikiProject Discworld == Wikipedia:WikiProject Discworld Spam message: Having noticed you have made some great additions to the Discworld articles I thought you might be interested in this new WikiProject. It's at a very early stage and needs quite a bit of work. User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 21:42, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC) *Two reasons: ** I think the film reel is kind of cheesy looking, and **I favor public domain over copyleft. The public domain belongs, no strings attached, to everyone, and I liked that idea. *But if you want to go back to the original image, I won't try and stop you. We each do what we think works best. -User:Litefantastic 12:02, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Film stub == Why did you change the Template:film-stub picture? Did I miss the conversation about this, the old version is far better... ~ User:RoboAction 07:44, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC) *Two reasons: ** I think the film reel is kind of cheesy looking, and **I favor public domain over copyleft. The public domain belongs, no strings attached, to everyone, and I liked that idea. *But if you want to go back to the original image, I won't try and stop you. We each do what we think works best. -User:Litefantastic 12:02, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Discworld Template == *Yeah, I get to be the 100th message! Anyway, I was wondering why you haven't changed the DW template over to your new version. I'd do it myself, but I'm sure you have a reason. -User:Litefantastic 00:31, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC) *:A combination of "lack of time" and cowardice :-) If you reckon there's sufficient agreement on my new format, I would have no trouble with you doing the switch yourself. If I remember later in the day (RL allowing) I'll have a go myself. HTH HAND --User:Phil Boswell | User talk:Phil Boswell 09:42, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC) == Sandbox Bot (SandBot) == I am responding your request for a Sandbox Bot. As far as you are aware, is there anyone operating one at the moment? --User:AllyUnion User talk:AllyUnion 04:44, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC) *No, no one is currently running the sandBot; the box is being cleaned out manually. -User:Litefantastic 14:54, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC) ** Such a bot I can write, in a few lines of code, using the pywikipediabot framework. How often should this bot run? --User:AllyUnion User talk:AllyUnion 22:25, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC) The sandbot is running. Please keep an eye on it. See: . --User:AllyUnion User talk:AllyUnion 12:21, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC) == Tessaiga == Hi. I have posted a request to revisit this topic at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related_articles). Thanks. Your input will be appreciated. User:LegolasGreenleaf 09:37, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC) == InuYasha on Article improvement drive == I have not had much experience with the article improvement drive, so I don't know how effective it would be. Still, it can't hurt, so why not? I think I posted this somewhere before, but just for reference, here is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Archived_nominations&oldid=8509270#InuYasha discussion] from the previous Featured Article nomination. User:JoshG 18:40, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC) == Balkans == You asked if I knew the copyright status of the pic I uploaded. How do I find that out? I just searched in google and found a pic. The address of it is http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Ottoman.jpg. The site is an online encyclopedia of nations, religious groups organizations, etc. I read this at the bottom of their site: Maps are linked with permission of the Perry-Casta�eda Map Library, University of Texas at Austin. User:Bremen 18:15, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==Soviet Canuckistan== Okay, fair enough. I didn't stop to see how long ago you did the amerime thing, but I figured that since it was on your user page, it must still be fresh. I guess I snapped because of the tendancy of some American editors to discount things that aren't American as being "non-notable". Canadians got a good laugh out of the Soviet Canuckistan thing -- people were selling t-shirts and bumper stickers, and I think there was a website. regards, User:Kevintoronto 21:49, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC) == 6deg == it moved to http://kohl.wikimedia.org/~kate/cgi-bin/six_degrees. kate. == Inuyasha timeline == Feel free to use my :Image:InuyashaTimeline.JoshG.jpg on your Inuyasha Wiki. Just to be clear, the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ Creative Commons license] with which I licensed the image to Wikipedia does actually allow you to use it without asking me (as long as you give me credit), but thanks for asking anyway. I already uploaded the picture for you to [http://inuyasha.wikicities.com/wiki/Image:InuyashaTimeline.JoshG.jpg Image:InuyashaTimeline.JoshG.jpg] on the Inuyasha Wiki. Be sure to let me know if you want a bigger version or a different format or something. User:JoshG 04:59, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC) == Sandbot's HTML warning comment == User:Stevey7788 has suggested something different for the little warning on the sandboxes. I would like your input on the matter. Please see User talk:AllyUnion#sandbot_messasge for more information. --User:AllyUnion User talk:AllyUnion 02:05, 13 May 2005 (UTC) == COTW Project == You voted for Roaring Twenties, this week's Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a Wikipedia:Featured_articles-Wikipedia:What is a featured article article. User:Falphin 03:29, 31 May 2005 (UTC) ==Article Improvement Drive== For your tireless work on rolling over the AID during the past months I award you the Barnstar of Diligence:--User:Fenice 06:53, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==Update== Hi - I updated the AID-page today, Saturday, because of an ongoing edit-war at abortion - the page is locked. We should find some mode of avoiding controversial subjects like that article becoming Improvement Drive projects, because articles like abortion have no chance whatsoever to become featured.--User:Fenice 19:41, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::Actually, no, as I said on the talk-page of the AID, I cannot promise to take on the responsibility completely and by myself (which has nothing to do with the AID but with my real life). I will however try to do much, which can be all of it at times - except for the archiving, which you mentioned above. (I have no idea how to do this archiving and have never done it. Maybe I will change the system so I can handle it.) I have figured out the template thing though, I think, and I created one (IDRIVEtopic) so that the portal page is updated automatically. As you say - if it dies, it dies. I want to give it a chance though, because it is so young. Much of it is a matter of advertising - the AID was not on the main maintenance-templates. I would appreciate it if you stay, but I understand if you don't.--User:Fenice 05:23, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::I have had a look at /history - I can handle that and /removed is not really necessary.--User:Fenice 06:31, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::::You asked why I changed the name: I thought 'article' is superfluous because everybody knows we're not improving tomatoes (even though they'd need it). Also, I was trying to find out why it attracts less voters and contributors, and I thought there is no hint in the name that this is on only a limited period of time. Article Improvement Drive sounds like a workshop where continual work is done. I tried to make the signature color more activating to make it look more dynamic. The change in voting system and curbing to one article was proposed and agreed to by others on the talk page. Concerning the mnemonic: I think these articles don't need mercy, they need drive. --User:Fenice 12:11, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
