[edit] Picture

The picture you recently loaded on the Shalee Lehning is not her. I'm not sure who that it is, but it is clearly not her. Do a quick google image search, and you'll see what I mean Topgun530 (talk) 02:38, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

I looked and I think it is, but I confess, I am not great at matching pictures to faces. It certainly isn't Deb or Kamie, and it sure doesn't look like Kelly, and it has to be one of those four. I'll see if I can check Monday.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 02:46, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh wait, maybe it is Danielle Zanotti. I'll check into it.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 02:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Help us develop better software!

Thanks to all of you for commenting on the NOINDEX RfC :). It's always great to be able to field questions like these to the community; it's genuinely the highlight of my work! The NOINDEX idea sprung from our New Page Triage discussion; we're developing a new patrolling interface for new articles, and we want your input like never before :). So if you haven't already seen it, please go there, take a look at the screenshots and mockups and ideas, and add any comments or suggestions you might have to the talkpage. Thanks!

[edit] RE Inserting Tables

I found the template for the tables from this page 2012 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament: qualifying teams, I then went to the 2011 NCAA Tournament main page and just copyed what they had and pasted it on the 2012 main page, I just replaced 2011 with 2012. I'm not sure if this helps or not, hopefully it does. Eh Oh Canada (talk) 20:31, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Improper delete of Cedric Van Eenoo

Hi, I see you deleted Cedric Van Eenoo as a G12 copyright infringement. Actually the page that was tagged as the source of the copyright violation was a mirror of Wikipedia. Can the page be restored? Thanks. Zad68 (talk) 12:52, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Yup exactly. Thanks! Zad68 (talk) 13:47, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Need Help

Hello, A good afternoon to you. Some newcomers coming from temples are tying to edit materials in a poor way i.e they're removing contents without giving reasons and also adding unsocial contents in an article viz. Uttar Pradesh. This vandalizing can be seen on articles talk page. Is there any way to stop adding unnecessary things on article.pls help. Thank youRpaigu 09:28, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Will respond at your talk page.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Thankful

Hiiii, thanks for replying. I was told that you won't be here for 2-3 days, so i am writing today. Anyway, as far as article concern, they occasionally or whenever they get realized that they can also edit on page. Well i am not saying to bite newcomers because i was a newcomer once too :D :D Just need to indicate, anybody can edit on article but nobody should used to add unnoticeable things. Once here have been section in which someone had added the info. about "khap panchayat people",(khap panchayat is a group of people in villages who are against love marriages in india.They had hanged so many youth indians who were going for love marriages, very awkward and quick-tempering but its true.It is very crucial and controversial topic can also able to spread some kind of riots, and only 4-5% part of the state includes this kind of khap panchayats, so there is strictly no need of describing. I immediately removed that section by giving an warning on talk page.But it was necessary. Despite being this on nov'2000 state was formed into a new state called Uttarakhand. Now this has been mentioned on head of the article, even though it was seen in middle of the article, removed later. ok now the next thing is about the cities. When you are going to read the page thoroughly, you will that exactly 5-6 city's have been mentioned again and again also language used there doesn't seem to be fulfill wikipedia policy,m talking about grammer, where to use capital and small letters etc. Recently census have occurred in India,(census 2011), but there is no literacy figures, sex ratio etc. But besides one of the most important deed is references. References are used to verify whether a user had edited really exits or not we all are well aware of it.Uttar Pradesh's references feels like it is added just to show that "we have added references and you can't say its a without references or put notices". Those are looking just to fulfill Wikipedia's rules. Rules are no more if they are followed for showing. And there is lots more tell but its difficult.Eventually i am hearty pardon, if i've used any kind of bad language or words while writing so many words. I also expect you to always help me regarding articles and everything necessary for a best wikipedian. Please keep guiding and cooperating me. I'd tried to give my best here,overall depends on you. once again ThanksRpaigu (talk) 09:15, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Pawn Stars

Hi, Sphilbrick. Regarding your addition to the Pawn Stars article, the list in question is for recurring experts, so it is restricted to those who've appeared in a minimum of two episodes. When a new expert shows up, they are placed on the list on the article's talk page, and then moved to the article when they've appeared in a second episode. Mark Lyons is on that talk page list, for having appeared in one episode that I know of. I could be wrong, but if he's appeared in two, can you cite them in the inline cite that follows the other experts in the article? The only citation you gave was of a personal blog, which cannot be used as a source under WP:USERG. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 20:12, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Please feel free to revert. Mark Lyons was requesting confirmation so he could add himself (which he didn't need). However, I thought I would go ahead and add him, as I found some supporting evidence. As you point out, the evidence is a blog; I didn't realize there was a minimum of two experts. I weas just trying to be nice to a potential new editor, but may have over-stepped.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 20:23, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] OTRS response

[edit] File:Taal volcano aerial.jpg

Hi, can you point me to the direction of the inquiry about this picture? TheCoffee (talk) 12:45, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Wikipedia received an email, which I processed as part of OTRS. I'm not permitted to share the content without permission. I can do one of two things:

If you can supply an email address to me (via email, if you wish), I can pass it on to the person inquiring, and you two can talk.
If can write to the person, and ask for permission to forward their email on to you. I would copy and paste it into our email system, or forward it to you if I get an email address form you.

I did get a response that the individual would try to contact you, but that may not yet have happened.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:56, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello Sphilbrick - You wrote: Formatting using Wikicode can be tedious; if I can help (for example do you want text to flow around the ampoule image?) let me know.

Please do make any format changes to the page in my sandbox that you think will improve appearance and readability. DanDaniels DanDaniels (talk) 18:31, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Talkback

You wrote: I'd like to help you improve your references. I see that you have quite a few. You may not know that there are templates for adding certain types of references, in particular, journals. It is a "gadget", I think, if you don't know what I'm talking about, let me know and I'll check into how to enable it for you. It make it easier, though still not easy to add references. In particular, it makes it easy to add a PMID. I added one to the Howell reference - your first reference. I did not remove yours, I renamed it "Howell old" , but I wanted to add one so you could see how it looks. Again, the main point is that it has an online link to the article.-

I am an utter newbie, so I don't know anything about formatting references. I had a more "Wiki literate" friend sit with me and put the references in their current state. I do not want to spend time polishing the references now--e.g. adding PMIDs. My priority is to get my article up on Wikipedia as soon as possible in its current state. I plan to continue to edit it in various ways after it is up. It will be of enormous help to me and my colleagues to be able to refer "IMC newcomers" to the Wikipedia IMC page to get up to speed on the method and its uses. DanDaniels (talk) 18:46, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for posting here, but if you post on the talk page of the draft, I will see it.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:14, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

I saw that you added a {{PermissionOTRS}} to File:Kleiser Khan Sinha.jpg as I happened to have the file on my watchlist. Did you notice that the file has been overwritten and that there are two photos there? Does the permission apply to both photos or just to one of them? --Stefan2 (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

In the middle of something, will look into in about 15 minutes. --SPhilbrick(Talk) 18:42, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

I received permission for both of those pictures. It is slightly more complicated than that, as I received permission for several pictures, some of which I had to upload, but I recognize both of those. (BTW, thanks for the diligence)--SPhilbrick(Talk) 18:48, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Responded on your talk page.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 10:52, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I fixed the images on the page. Let me know if you need additional help. If I'm not around, the people at the Wikipedia:Help desk are willing to help--SPhilbrick(Talk) 11:19, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

In one case, there was a colon before the word "file". That is commonly done, but it is a way to make the image not appear, just display as a name. It may have been inadvertent, but however it got there, I simply removed it. In the other cases, you had placeholder names for the files, I replaced them with the actual names. If this is too cryptic, ask, and I'll explain further.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 11:22, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Two images

I happened to have these two images on my watchlist:

I see that you added OTRS permission to them. Note that both images have a licence which requires attribution, but no one seems to be attributed. Something doesn't seem to be correct. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:35, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
