Welcome to Meta!

Hello Cirt, and welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Meta:Metapub (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). If you would like, feel free to ask me questions on my talk page. Happy editing!

Welcoming users

Hello,

Welcoming users is nice, but it's not necessary to welcome every single IP and user that's ever edited. Some users, such as User:Wiki killer, are even blocked. It's also flooding recent changes. Thanks. :)--Shanel 06:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

{{welcomeip}} is meant to be used if you spot an IP that's doing good work, to encourage them to register an account. Here on Meta a lot of IP editors tend to be people from other projects making one-time edits, or people who have accounts but are just editing logged out (I do sometimes at the library). --Shanel 06:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

There is Category:Warning templates, which might help.--Shanel 07:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome

Thanks for welcome. I reply to you on Talk:Top_Ten_Wikipedias#wrapping_up.3F. Bourrichon 12:03, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Welcome

Hi, Cirt!. Thank you very mcuh for the Welcome. Even now, more than one and a half years in Wikipedia, it is always a pleasure to receive a welcome. I also see you are volunteering to OTRS too. That's always a good new. Regards, --Lucien leGrey ( m | es ) 14:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Taggings

Hi, please don't blank the page when you tag - it means I have to go through the history to see if the tagging is valid (not that your taggings are bad, but just to be sure...) Thanks. Majorly ^talk 00:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh, in those particular cases I blanked those pages because it seemed like non-useful nonsense writings, but I see your point, and won't blank when tagging again. Thank you, Cirt 00:15, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Categories

Please do not edit the categories on Meta-Wiki translations, they are supposed to be redlinked. When we upload them to the foundationwiki, they'll be blue. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 23:38, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

My apologies - I was unaware of this particular procedure. When doing category work, how will I know which are specifically the categories that are supposed to be redlinked and will turn blue when uploaded to foundationwiki, and which are okay to create categories for? I was basing some of the work off of Special:WantedCategories. Cirt (talk) 23:47, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

If they have "Translation requests/" in them, you probably shouldn't change the categories. Cbrown1023 talk 23:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, duly noted. Thank you! Cirt (talk) 23:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

However, don't think that I don't appreciate all the work you're doing to cleanup Meta-Wiki! :-) Cbrown1023 talk 23:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Welcome?

Thank you for the welcome message. While I appreciate the courtesy, I've been registered here since June 2005. KillerChihuahua 00:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I had just checked the recent contribs to see that you were a positive contributor, and saw that you are a positive contributor on en.wiki and so I thought you could use the welcome. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 00:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

And now I find I'm doing what annoys me - cross posting the thread. No need to reply, I didn't mean to make extra work for you! and thank you again for your kind welcome. KillerChihuahua 00:53, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! Cirt (talk) 00:54, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom at Russian Wikipedia

Yes, I am willing to help. So, the question is where is your discussion page at ru.wp? (I am able to read Russian, while I am not able to write it; but it means that I am able to participate fully in your process.) --Millosh 05:03, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Page to post ideas

Hi Cirt.
Is there any place where new ideas for all wiki-pages can/should be posted?
Thanks for helping --D-Kuru 15:55, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Is this better?

commons:Template:User wikipedia/Administrator vs. commons:Template:User Wikipedia administrator. Maybe the category is not done proper yet? Test it out on the first one, since only I uses it for the moment. Sorry for meddling with the second one. Maybe the administrator default should be Meta and not English Wikipedia since this is Meta? nsaa 23:05, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Stop it!!

Please can you stop doing that, making cats for individual candidates is a bit silly, it would have been simpler to move all to one cat instead of doing that such as Category:Election candidates 2006 etc using defaultsort..--Cometstyles 10:15, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I think categories like Category:Election candidates 2006 are quite useful indeed. They provide further uses - for example for candidates that run in multiple years, there could be categories encompassing those candidates' pages across all those years. And also, this subsection header you chose, effectively yelling at me, is a bit harsh and uncalled for. Cirt (talk) 11:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

arbcom

Done! ^^ I also edited the whole page for consistency/standardization and wiki markup simplification. Cheers, Waldir 12:14, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Lowry says thanks for response

Hello Cirt, Thanks for your response. I'm new and slow on computers and the web. It seems to me wiki has the system all set up to solicit and screen contributors to a new initiative with potential global reach. But its strength (ubiquity) may be its weakness - involving everybody means slow and ineffective decision-making? Could a group be formed thru wiki that promoted for-profit business? Who and how? I've got all the content (parts of the process and sample projects) just need the partners. Any advice would be welcome. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lowry Redd (talk • contribs) .

You are welcome. Cirt (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your kindly welcome!

Most kind of you, ol' buddy. Say, haven't we met before under similar circumstances? 8D Jusdafax 07:28, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Heh, no worries. Cirt (talk) 14:24, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello, new MediaWiki version required

The Oriya Wikipedia is missing its own version of MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js. I wish to improve this undeveloped wiki as soon as possible. Can you please help me? Contact me here only or here, in my English Wikipedia account soon. Thanks, --Sainsf 14:46, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Replied at user's talk page. ;) -- Cirt (talk) 19:26, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Cirt

Thank you for welcoming me Cirt. :) I've been working here for more than 6 months. But none have welcomed me so far. You did. Thank you friend. :) --Surya Prakash.S.A. 14:26, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
