You're right, that edit does seem to make sense. Leaving it out until we find some references seems like the best idea for this situation. Thanks for notifying me. —BassGuitarist182(talk)22:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, cool. I'll go ahead and remove it. —Łittle Älien ¹⁸²22:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct

Sorry about the Coldplay edit without a reference, I am searching for one now. I heard it on a local radio station (WJRR - Orlando).—Precedingunsignedcomment added byExoity(talk•contribs)03:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UCLA

why do you keep deleting my changes to the establishment of ucla? i have researched the topic at great length and it seems pretty clear that 1881, is the correct date, given that the state normal school was changed to the southern branch of the UC. please compare this history of Ariz State, SDSU, SJSU, SFSU and chico state, and you will see they are all former normal schools and trace their establishment to the creation of the normal school. same thing should be true with ucla. also, take a look at the history of the outlook, the forerunner of the daily bruin; and the history of the ucla's graduate school of education - both trace their roots to the los angeles state normal school

regards,anderskwAnderskw(talk)00:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that the state normal school was established in 1881, but UCLA, in its present form, was not established as part of the University of California until 1919. This date is the most accurate "establishment date." I'm not denying the fact that UCLA's origins can be traced back to its roots as a normal school, but to say that UCLA existed before 1919 is not only misleading, but also patently incorrect. The origins of UCLA, as a normal school, are still in the text of the article, but the date in the infobox is the year that the normal school became a part of the University of California. This is the date that UCLArecognizeand it is also the date that students, alumni, faculty, and staff are familiar with. —Łittle Älien ¹⁸²03:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1919 is the earliest year that can be placed with the Fiat Lux seal of the University of California for UCLA. A school was established in 1881. The school became a branch of UC Berkeley in 1919. The current name was adopted in 1927. It moved campuses in 1929. This discussion should be carried on at the UCLA talk page.Group29(talk)14:28, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editor review

Hi,

I came across youreditor review.Do you intend to transclude it to the main page to get some reviews, or can it be deleted? Best wishes, –How do you turn this on(talk)15:27, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was on the main page, but I was having trouble transcluding it so maybe it never made it to the main page. Is there anyway you can help me transclude it? —Łittle Älien ¹⁸²21:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit the page as usual, and add it to the list, like so: {{User:Littlealien182/ER1}}. The other entries should help. Best wishes, –How do you turn this on(talk)23:57, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blink 182

Personally I don't really see any reason to remove a summary table. It doesn't take up too much space and is quite handy as a direct reference point for band members rather than having to read through all the text. If you feel it is superfluous however, feel free to remove it, I won't revert.Nouse4aname(talk)19:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for participating in my RfA

I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for taking the time and effort to participate in my recent RfA. As you may know, the discussion closed 66/0/1 and I'm now a holder of the mop. I will keep working to improve the encyclopedia and appreciate the trust which you have placed in me. -Dravecky(talk)23:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! You are an excellent editor and are definitely worthy of admin status. —Łittle Älien ¹⁸²00:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pi Kapp Stats

Can I ask what the purpose of{{Pi Kapp Stats}}is? It seems like it is unnecessary since all it is is the stats that you can just manually put into the infobox. In fact, it makes the infobox more cluttered by putting the template in there instead of the numbers. On top of that, someone who is unfamiliar with templates on Wikipedia will not know what is going on if they go in there to update the data in the infobox. What, do you believe, is the need for this template? Thanks,either way(talk)23:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote an explanation as to why I felt it was necessary to substitute these values with a template on the template's page. But, to put it briefly, I did it because these values are listed multiple times within the article and change rather frequently. The template allows a user to update these statics on one page so that they always remain unified and consistent. Also, I plan on incorporating this template into theList of Pi Kappa Phi chapters,List of Pi Kappa Phi alumni,and other Pi Kappa Phi fraternity related articles (and future articles that I plan on writing). This template will allow all of the figures in these articles to remain consistent and, conveniently, will make it much easier to update them. —Łittle Älien¹⁸²02:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback is no big deal unless you need speed

Re:User_talk:Pedro#Rollback_question,I've had rollback for several months but I rarely use it - I've used it on less than a handful of days I think. It has the major downside of not allowing customized edit summaries. I've found I use it in two occasions: When a vandal has multiple consecutive edits and it's clear no edit summary is needed, or when a vandal, usually an IP vandal, is reverting my reverts, and I need the speed advantage rollback has. Ironically, I needed to do this last night, which was the first time I'd used rollback in awhile. Personally, I prefer to either use undo or find the last good version and edit-and-save it by hand, with a descriptive edit summary. This also has the advantage of forcing me to be deliberate in my edits.davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)14:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism vs. helpful edits atUCLA

Hi. I'm going to have to disagree strongly withthis reversionand and the associated{{uw-vand1}}warning you gave to the anonymous editor who made the edit you reverted. Not only is that edit not the kind of vandalism for which one would use Twinkle's "rollback (VANDAL)" button, but seems to be, in fact, a helpful elaboration of the rather vague phrase "popular images of the Southern California lifestyle." The IP editor seems to have immediately re-added what your reversion struck, hopefully blaming technical difficulties and not realizing that his or her contribution had been labeled vandalism and summarily redacted. It would be tragic to scare away a helpful contributor on his or her first edit. I have replaced your warning on the IP's Talk page with a welcome template. If you still think this is a case of vandalism and you're seeing something in this that I'm not, please let me know your reasoning. Thanks.--Dynaflowbabble 08:50, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This very same edit has been made to the UCLA page in the past from a different IP (but likely the same editor). You're right in one sense: perhaps my level of warning was too strong. But the edit, in no way, is constructive. Adding "emphasizing freedom in a land of perpetual sunshine" is a great way to make make an already-vague-statement even more vague. It has beenrevertedin the past and the repetitive nature of this edit is what led me to constitute it as vandalism. Perhaps I was too harsh, but the edit should not remain on the page. The original clause should be removed or followed by a more substantive description. Sorry for the misunderstanding. —Łittle Älien¹⁸²09:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phi Kap Members category

I'm almost finished breaking down Category:Lists of chapters or members of United States student societies into the three types of pages listed there, a) Category:Lists of chapters of United States student societies by college, b) Category:Lists of chapters of United States student societies by society and c) Category:Lists of members of United States student societies.

In the process, I have recatted 98 pages, and the only one left in the original category is the Phi Kappa Alumni sandbox page that you have. I don't alter things in other people's sandboxes, so could you please change the category on your sandbox page to Category:Lists of members of United States student societies so that I can propose the original category for deletion? I've already changed the Phi Kap pages that were in the mainspace. Thank You.Naraht(talk)17:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Let me know if you need anything else. —Łittle Älien¹⁸²01:05, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope that's what I needed. ThanxNaraht(talk)14:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: A small favor

Uh, okay, sure. It's kind of a strange request, but since I'm checking my watchlist every few seconds, I don't mind adding another page to it. Have a nice break!GaryKing(talk)03:43, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Failed Doppelganger

Hi, please could you visitUser:Jac16888/Sandbox#Failed Doppels.This is a list of failed attempts by users to create doppelganger accounts, and at least one of the pages is yours. Creating a doppelganger account involves actually registering the account as you would normally, simply creating a userpage doesn't do it. Please either create the account, or else indicate that you no longer want the page(s) so that I can delete it. Thank you--Jac16888 ^Talk 15:29, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I haven't been on in a long time. School is taking over my life. I think you probably deleted the doppelganger already, which is fine. Thanks for your post. —Łittle Älien¹⁸²05:54, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
