User talk:Adrignola/2013

Trainz user group
I've made various modest contributions to 13 wikimedia projects since 2004, including tens of thousands on the encyclopedia and am interested in helping the Trainz wikibook here. (I've yet to peruse it, but am getting started. I expect I'll find stale or version specific information along the way&mdash;meaning it'll create an itch I'll want to scratch with a fix!) I'm way out of date on local practices though. Is there a projects user template indexing the group of editors that are involved. I seem to recognize your handle as a general Admin type user from way back.

Best regards, Fra nkB 22:26, 9 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The editors that have been involved can be seen at Trainz/Authors. Checking Special:RecentChangesLinked/Trainz for any changes and clicking on the 30 days link, I only see anonymous (IP) users having made changes.  It is likely that there is nobody currently active on the book.  You may be interested in Wikibooks for Wikimedians for getting a feel for Wikibooks-specific processes and Help:Contents covers specific templates and structural components used here that you may not see elsewhere.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you around! – Adrignola discuss 23:53, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Forced user renames coming soon for SUL
Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to [//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Single+User+Login+finalisation+announcement%2FPersonal+announcement&filter=&action=page translate and review the notification] that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages Rename practices and Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo 13:03, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Can you please stop Kodos from adding tabs
I can't believe you guys are allowing hundreds of external links to commercial sites. The tabs are nothing more than a reason to drive traffic to their sites. Look - you've seen me spend three years on the Guitar Book - please respect that and stop this blatant advert rubbish.

do you know how many hours I've wasted going through that book removing commercial links.

What can I do - you guys are admin or power users and the edit history shows a lot of you "ok'ing" the additions - don't you care about all the those people who donate (not just rich people but teachers and factory workers and god knows who else). I've deleted all the tabs that are external links - if my cat was flea infested I would buy flea powder - down with these blood sucking parasites who live of the blood of Wikimedia.

Sorry about that. A bit of a moan. When I first came on here and Wikipedia I felt out of my depth as far as writing goes. The problem is as I'm improving I am also starting to moan more. Can anyone get better at anything without moaning? I would like to request that the Kodos additions to the Song Library chapters of the Guitar Book be struck out permanently and never restored.

Thanks

Simple English merger
Where did the discussion on whether or not to transwiki individual chapters take place? I can't seem to find it Purplebackpack89 (discuss • contribs) 18:44, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * There was overall discussion on the talk page, but I don't think it ever broke down to the level of individual chapters, though contributors to individual books may have discussed merged content on the pages where they were merged. – Adrignola discuss 20:19, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks!
