Hiya, could you explain why you think The Simpsons: Tapped Out is out of date? [1] Rcsprinter (discuss) @ 00:46, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

There have been 3-5 updates to the applications that is not listed under #Themed updates. The fact that EA have med $100 million net revenue since the game's release is outdated sice the source is from October and there have been multiple updates, drives and sales in-gae, wich has driven up the net revenue quite a bit etc. -(t) Josve05a (c) 01:51, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I'll take a look at updating it then. I guess you're a player. Rcsprinter (message) @ 10:58, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jose05a,

I like the Pliedes image on your personal page and the story about how you got started editing. You seem like a very concientious reviewer and I'd appreciate any comments you may have on my first two articles.

Thank you.

Hello, re: your edit to Terry Biggs, you changed a parameter (from archiveurl to url) of a page from the Pandora Archive, which is sort of like an Australian equivalent to the Wayback Machine. I've adjusted the parameters accordingly. Graham87 14:26, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Graham87! I should have paid more attention, great spotting by the way. (Just of of curiosity (personal inquiry): Did you slak my edits or did you follow the aricle on your watchlist?) (t) Josve05a (c) 18:03, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

I found your edit by checking my watchlist; it's on there because I created the Terry Biggs article. Graham87 01:55, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Josve, I have a page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jafarimunaba/Efficiencie Kindly help me move it to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficiencie I will appreciate that! I dont have an option of moving articles

41.221.91.182 (talk) 13:30, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, but you will have to write your article here, and then submit it forr review. If another editor belives that it is suited for Wikipedia and if it passes all the rules and guidlines, then that user/reviewer will accept the article and move it. But right now the page is emty (exept a template stating thet the article is empty).

Hi, just wanted to alert you to the fact that this edit which you made using AWB was incorrect. You changed "para. 5-008" to "para. 5–008", but this was wrong because this was a paragraph number (para. 5-007, para. 5-008, para. 5-009, etc.), not a range of paragraphs. — SMUconlaw (talk) 14:20, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing, reverting and telling me. I have now put a few templates on the page, which I hope will prevent future incorrect edits on that page. (t) Josve05a (c) 14:25, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks! — SMUconlaw (talk) 14:33, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

"Mistake" is spelled with one s not two. You might want to fix your AWB edit summary ;-) --Jakob (talk) 15:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

I wish I could say that I wrote that intentionally, but unfortenatly it was a mistake to write 'misstake'. Thanks for telling me! (t) Josve05a (c) 19:54, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Resolved

Please note that in this edit, there was not a problem with a reference before punctuation. A "citation needed" tag is - extremely obviously - not a citation, and there is no guideline nor MOS that says where to put the "citation needed" tag with respect to punctuation. Please avoid making pointless edits such as that. — Carl (CBM · talk) 20:35, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

CBM It was reported as an error here. I have reported the incident here and I know that I should not have done the edit, I have now stopped doing these kinds of edits. Thank you for telling me! (t) Josve05a (c) 20:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

i am new please let me know why my addition was deleted and help me please Majid661 (talk) 18:15, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't really know wich edit you are refering to. I would recomend you, for faster help that you contact Wikipedia's live-help-chat here: #wikipedia-en-help ^connect (just press connect) (t) Josve05a (c) 18:47, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Josve05a:

I just checked the entry I made for Jose F. Buscaglia-Salgado and noticed that you are requiring proper citations for some information. Yet is not entirely clear to me which is the information that requires to be properly cited. Is it the titles in red? Please advise.

Thanks.

The problem is that you must specify which information belongs to which source. Here are some things you can do if you are uncertain on how to cite correctly:

1. Read Help:Referencing for beginners.
2. Watch this video.
3. Look at an example here.
4. Ask the live-help-chat for even more help. #wikipedia-en-help ^connect (just press connect)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something silly.

For comments on WP:AIV! (t) Josve05a (c) 18:46, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I needed that! Though it was a bit of a shock when viewed from huggle and I only saw the warning. Thanks again! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:55, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Regarding this, no, I don't mind. Good job on the vandal-fighting. You've beaten me more times than Cluebot NG has the past 15 minutes. :P (Cluebot - 1. Josve05a - 3) AddWittyNameHere (talk) 22:56, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits to List of awards and nominations received by Penn & Teller: Bullshit!.

The orphan tag is unnecessary as the page was just created today and is currently undergoing List Peer Review.

Your feedback would be appreciated to help further along the quality improvement process, at Wikipedia:Peer review/List of awards and nominations received by Penn & Teller: Bullshit!/archive1.

Thank you for your time,

— Cirt (talk) 20:24, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Just an update: The orphan issue has since been resolved successfully as I added the page to {{Penn & Teller}} which was previously helpfully created by Vegaswikian. Thanks again for your help with this new page, — Cirt (talk) 00:15, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi

Sorry it was my 5 yr old son who edited with the word and saved it without my knowledge. Sorry for the inconvenience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.214.155.156 (talk) 09:53, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. (t) Josve05a (c) 13:30, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm really jealous of you. My user page has only been vandalized eight times. It took over two years for my first one... Egads you weren't even 10 yet. Life is so unfair. Bgwhite (talk) 22:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

@Bgwhite: I got 10 of them today...(t) Josve05a (c) 22:26, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Rub it in why don't you. Bgwhite (talk) 22:30, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

@Bgwhite: S/he vandalised so much, so even my talk page is protected now...how many times had your pages been vandalised again? (t) Josve05a (c) 22:32, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I noted you added an orphan tag to Arionellus. Although it is indeed an orphan and you have every right to add such a template, I'd like to raise an issue. The issue is that you do not want to be linked towards this page. It concerns a disused name, so it actually should function like a disambiguation and complex redirect page. The thing is, the tag elicits linking back from the pages it links to, and I think that would actually be confusing. Perhaps you see this differtly though. Like to hear your views. Regards, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 11:06, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Since the article clerly is not a redirect-page, we can rulee that out. The page is not a disambig either, since it has context and information and not only "did you mean...". That make the page an article, pretty much as Soviet Union, it is not used any more, but it still has an article and has links to it. According to Wikipedia:Orphan#Criteria an orphan is an article is orphaned if no other articles link to it.

But you are free to remove the tag if you want, but be warned that someone else might place it again. (t) Josve05a (c) 11:31, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

	The Special Barnstar
	So I gave you some *stolen* cookies, but you've done much more than that to deserve baked goods. Too many for me to list, so what the heck! This is a shiny barnstar that you deserve - and no, it's not stolen this time. Happy editing! K6ka (talk | contribs) 12:19, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

"Oh, shiny!" Thank you so much. Hmm...this feels a bit wierd though...having 3 barnstars in row on my talk page. (t) Josve05a (c) 12:54, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Since you like using automated tools. Can you please also try AutoEd against CHECKWIKI error 31? Auto-Ed converts html tables to wikitables but there are some bugs in some cases. Check Wikipedia_talk:AutoEd#Tables. I need an extra pair of eyes and hands to do these and keep track of bugs. Maybe you could help? -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:15, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Sure, I can give it a shot. (t) Josve05a (c) 17:16, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

You're right Magioladitis, I do like automated tools. But when I use AutoEd to fix these kinds of error, 50-75% of the times I try, the tool is breking the tables. That is not automated, that is a broken tool. (t) Josve05a (c) 17:40, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Magioladitis and Josve05a... Pywikibot does a much better job than AutoEd. AutoEd it fine for the less complicated tables, but it requires alot of manual interaction for the complicated ones. Only time I've seen Pywikibot not work is if there were some problems with differing amount of open/close tags. Pywikibot's program to do the tables is: table2wiki.py. I usually run it on individual files, but it can be given a list of articles to run on. However, I wouldn't recommend more that 10 or so articles at a time. Need to manually inspect to see if everything turned out ok. Bgwhite (talk) 19:42, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
