thank you for your comment,is the photo better now after the additions u suggested??thanks againGrandia01 16:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you certainly don't need my approval. But if you're looking for some reassurance of my support, then I am happy to give it. Good luck and happy editing! —Moondyne 13:48, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Could you give me some advice?
You see, approximately two months ago, I put in an RFA, viewable here. It was unsuccessful. Now, I've gained much more experience, and I was thinking or putting in a second RFA. Do you think I should? If you could, please leave your answer on my talk page. Thanks! -Billy227, review my account!! talk contribs sndbx usbx 20:01, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Replied on your talk page as requested Hello, I strongly object to you going for RfA again, you say your other RfA was 2 months ago, it only ended about 15 days ago, I dont think you are ready for adminship yet, if I may - I would like to make a few suggestions for improvements:
So please, do not attempt RfA until at least July 2007, I think you need more experience and definitely a higher edit count, I'd suggest at least 3000 with 1500-2000 to the main article space and some good talk/user talk/wikipedia talk communication edits. Kindest Regards
Thanks so much for reviewing and providing feedback for the article Emmett Watson. I'm not sure how to resolve the issue with the photograph--I emailed the photo editor at the Seattle PI to request a photo (and permission to use them) and he emailed me two photos along with permission to use them on Wikipedia. I still have that email. Can you let me know how I should proceeed? Thanks, --DHLister | Talk 22:06, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I think that it could definitely pass as a GA once the sub-sections have been made and once the reference section is cleaned up, then the image is almost there, it just needs a few minor adjustments, please feel free to renominate it when uyou think its been brought up to standard, or ask me if you wish and I'll do it. Kindest Regards The Sunshine Man 10:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
My dearest Sunshine Man, I have no words to tell you how deeply your wonderful gift touched me, to the point that my eyes got a little wet. I don't think I deserve the title you've so graciously and kindly bestowed upon me, but in moments like this, it's best not to say anything but let the heart speak. You opened up yours to me, so it's only fair that I tell you, thank you, so much! This is the kind of gestures that I never, ever forget nor let go. Know that, although we had interacted before in a very pleasant manner, today, a new friendship has been born. You truly are a ray of wonderful sunshine. Love, Phaedriel - 16:24, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
It was a link to tablighi jamaat..because Thabligh is how it is pronounced not tabligh which is how it is in wikipedia..so if somebody searches for thabligh he/she will miss it ... Iqu 18:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Whaddya mean?--Roxas 22:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)(I'm not kidding)(Nothing uncivil)
Wha? Didn't see that coming. I probably subconsciously do it instead of using bold (or italic) text, not thinking that it's annoying anyone. Could you provide an example (preferably on my talk page)? As for the GA stuff, I apologise for this, it was probably just due to lazyness. Have a nice day! G1ggy! 23:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I was not able to fill my fair use rational in the < 2 minutes after uploading. I have done so now and hope this is satisfactory. If so I will move "warnings" from my talk page. Jerm 19:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I know. I use twinkle and the script leaves a duplicate signature in warnings. I discovered this error, but I keep forgetting to remove the extra four tildes. I have since left a note in the TW talk page. By the way, there's an unclosed font code in your talk page instructions. :-) Cheers, Anas talk? 15:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Would you be willing to take a second look at Metcall — I've greatly expanded the "how the system works" section in response to the issues you raised.
I agree that it's a little heavy on staff roles (it originally began as an article on the job rather than the place, as part of a series on law enforcement support staff, before I realised that it needed an article on the place to make sense, and it made no sense keeping the job and the place as separate articles). Part of the problem was caused by the fact that the staff section had separate subsections relating to each job, making it appear longer than it actually is.
In all honesty, I think it's now expanded as far as it can go. As a very secretive program, there's not a lot of press coverage of it other than reprinted press releases which I've tried to avoid as non-neutral — if you follow the references, you'll see that most of the sources seem to have been dragged out grudgingly under the Freedom of Information Act. I absolutely agree about the lack of pictures, but unfortunately even the addresses of the other two centres are secret, I'm unable to find any public domain photographs of the inside of the buildings, and I don't see any useful purpose in repeat photos of the one rather nondescript building whose address is in the public domain (quite aside from the fact that "hanging round outside secret security installation taking photos" probably isn't good for anyone's health). If you've any suggestions as to how to improve it, I'd welcome them — I think it's a genuinely useful article given the lack of coverage elsewhere. (It isn't original research, but it does cobble together a lot of snippets that as far as I'm aware aren't collected anywhere else, to put together a picture of what the program is supposed to be doing and where it's succeeding/failing in doing so.) — iridescenti (talk to me!) 16:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Doing... I'm currently busy.... I'll take a look at it in a few hours, if you dont mind that is.... The Sunshine Man 16:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for taking another look! As I say, I doubt it will go further unless/until a newspaper does a story on the place, but (aside from the sprawling A1 road (London)) it's probably the article I invested most time in getting right — iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

thanks for adopting me. i'm not a total newbie, but i do have some questions.
a. Do you actually have to do something to be part of a wikiproject? or do you just edit whatever is on that wikiproject page?
b. What is the difference between a wiki project and a portal? is someone assigned to edit the portal to change all the stuff that is different each day (such as featured image) or does it somehow do it automatically?

Thanks for the heads-up, Sunshine Man. Rather than ask you to do, I just did it myself. :) -- Cecropia 00:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Aaargh, it completely slipped my mind! So sorry :( I'm just trying to clear a backlog right now, but expect some questions in about an hour's time. Start studying ;) Cheers, and sorry again, Riana ⁂ 12:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. I do know how to sign but I sometimes forget, I have not been on wikipedia long. Francisco Tevez 12:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I really appreciate the note and the striking out. I was surprised by the strong oppose and the comment. I had tried to write the Tompkins riot article as NPOV as possible, so I was disheartened when the first comment was what you had wrote. It was a challenging historical episode to write, but one that had yet to be documented thoroughly. I wrote it a year ago, and time and Wikipedia's evolved standards have rendered some of the things I did with it (legal citation, single source) dated, but back then this was possibly one of the more heavily sourced articles. I think the topic, that the police (by their own admission) were responsible for a riot rubs some people the wrong way. My own prejudice writing the article was that I had no sympathy for the goals of the protesters (to allow the debauchery and hijacking of the park to continue) and no sympathy for the police response (which was caused by poor leadership, a hot summer, and New York City still in the midst of governing chaos). In the year since I wrote that, I've grown and matured a lot in how I edit and my writing style on Wikipedia. So, I really appreciate your actions today. It made me feel good. Best to you, and keep up the excellent work. --David Shankbone 13:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Ha, thanks for the offer. I like the way you have your pages but I'm thinking of having a blue-ish color scheme. Thanks again ;) --Cadet hastings 15:07, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Excellent close. Consensus was clearly against my proposal. --Tony Sidaway 23:59, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I am going through the Digimon images and was wondering if I was adding the FUR correctly, I have currently only done three as I neglected to read the whole deletion comment, or more specifically, the do not remove this message part. The images I have done are Goldramon, Allomon and AeroVeedramon. Would you please check them. trainra 03:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't you say that you may be a sock puppet. It's just, if you look up Mr. oompapa, then it says that you are a sock puppet of the puppeteer of Oompapa. Please get back to me. Christine118247 15:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)Is =
Hello, with respect I think you should be careful when saying users are sockpuppets, I'm not offended at this because I can assure you I'm not a sockpuppet of User:Mr Oompapa, I made sure not to violate WP:SOCK when I decided to get a fresh start under this account.

I've just speedied your RfA as you requested - hope you don't mind. Ryan Postlethwaite 16:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in either of my unsuccessful requests for adminship. Although the experience was frustrating, it showed me some mistakes I was making, and I hope to learn from those mistakes.
Please take a few minutes to read User:YechielMan/Other stuff/RFA review and advise me how to proceed. Best regards. YechielMan 21:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand your criteria for deleting many of the external links, especially the professional societies. Could you please explain them a few at a time? -- Ronz 17:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Why thanks, but atm, I'm not sure I'd have the time for such work (with dev stuff and all). Voice-of-All 18:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi there! As you can see here, I did not remove the header from the sandbox. It had already been removed by someone else and in fact I wasn't aware that the sandbox was supposed to have a header, so I simply erased something another user had written and left the page blank :P Teo64x 19:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was successful and I am now an admin. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 06:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, can you tidy up my userbox page. I can't seem to get them into a straight line going all the way down the page, see Here. Francisco Tevez 16:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
The author blanked the page when you tagged this one. I was about to tag it as blanked when I saw the original from you. I'm not sure of the procedure from there. As an aside; Julia Tutweiler does have some notability, at least in Alabama. Cheers! --Stormbay 22:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I am really greatly appreciative of your compliments. I'll drop you a note when it's up and running. :-) Regards. Will (aka Wimt) 00:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Template:Bcratbacklog has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. Wikihermit (Talk • HermesBot) 02:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I deliberately didn't noinclude the {{tfd-inline}} tag. The notification that the template is up for TfD is needed to alert people who use the template that it's due to be deleted (much like putting {{subst:afd}} on an article). There are two TfD tags available precisely for this reason (one with block formatting ({{tfd}}) and one with inline formatting {{tfd-inline}}), so the tag can be added without unduly disrupting formatting. --ais523 13:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
If you're still available for WP:GA/Rs, could you take a look over Broadwater Farm and see if you think it'll pass or if not, what changes you think ought to be made? It's bugged me for at least a year that it redirected to Riot - it might be what the area's best known for, but it always seemed as silly to me as redirecting Hiroshima to Atomic bomb or David Beckham to Football. What I intended to be a short stub to fill the gap has somehow sprawled into IMO possibly the best article I've yet written. Incidentally, nominating it as a GAC within 2 minutes of creation isn't quite as arrogant as it looks - it's been sitting in userspace for some time being tweaked and poked so I'm more familiar with it that that time-lag would suggest — iridescenti (talk to me!) 16:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

ps you got a cool name
Thanks for the co-nom etc. I think i needed more time to think about things and i was wondering if my one was a bit premature. I suppose i'm not experienced enough but there were other factors. Besides, the way thinks were going, consensus would not have been reached. Thanks anyway. Simply south 18:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
No problem, Glad to be a help Sir,Arnon Chaffin (Talk) 20:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Just dropping by to say "thank you" for supporting me in my recent my RfA. I passed the vote, and am now an admin. It will take me some getting used to with the new tools, but I thank you again for the trust. Have a good one, and, as always, happy editing! Jmlk17 05:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Dear Qst, thanks for your support in my recent RfA, it was, however, unsuccessful. I am not the type of editor to be disheartened by such a result, and have gained much experience. If you have anything to contribute by way of improvements or comments, please don’t hesitate to tell me.
I will run again. Until then, Cheers, Dfrg.msc 07:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
