adminship

I see you weren't interested in adminship a few weeks ago, but I really think you should give it a try, we need more admins who don't hate sports articles! Considering your FA and your history so far, I think you'd do quite well at RFA. Adminship really isn't as big a deal as many people think... I personally believe all responsible editors should have the tools ASAP. I'd be happy to write up a nomination if you're interested. --W.marsh 15:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TyrusThomas4lyf

Can you please talk to that user? he's been messing around with every single thing that includes Kobe Bryant; and can you tell me how do I report a user? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Immortal23 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for the reply. Yes he's a Jordan glorifier, Love Jordan to death but can you warn him to not change the comments on the "List of National Basketball Association players with 60 or more points in a game"? He keeps adding meaningless info about how "Toronto had the second worst defense in the league", and then adds to the Jordans 63 point game that "The 1986 Boston Celtics are widely regarded as one of the greatest teams of all-time. Top 10 Teams in NBA History" link- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Basketball_Association_players_with_60_or_more_points_in_a_game

thanks in advanced.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Immortal23 (talk • contribs)

Micheal Jordan nickname

Hi, I was wondering if you had any additional thoughts on the discussion about adding MJ as a nickname for Micheal Jordan on the Michael Jordan talk page. You seemed to have stopped commenting, and I was wondering if that meant you no longer oppose the addition. - Ektar 17:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I definitely don't think 2-1 is good enough to be a consensus, so if it's cool with you, I'll do a request for comment. -Ektar 18:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pic placement

Thanks for your comment to Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#Pic_placement. I used one of your points to improve the guidelines, and followed up there with the other point (which I didn't quite follow). Eubulides 22:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rock Springs Massacre

Hi there. I was wondering if you might lend some outside eyes to Rock Springs Massacre. I have undertaken a major overhaul project since it was promoted to GA and I hope to nominate for FA soon. Right now it just needs some outside perspective and copy editing. I have sort of charted my progress on the talk page, if you want to check out what I have written/thought there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you don't have the time or whatever that's cool. Thanks. IvoShandor 12:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. I just bypassed peer review because I have a few posted now and they are quite stale, if you want just put a section on the talk page with some comments or whatever. Thanks again. IvoShandor 12:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

		Thank you for finding the pic for Bill Paxon. I happened upon your page at Wikimedia Commons and your work there is esteemable, so in recognition, I award you with this Commons Ambassador award. Howard Cleeves 23:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Derry City FAC

I posed some questions beneath your original comment on the FAC page. Possibly you could have a look at them? Thanks. Danny Invincible^Talk|Edits 02:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up regarding Wikipedia:Requests for comment/TyrusThomas4lyf. I'll contribute more content this evening. Myasuda 13:42, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Toronto Raptors

Hi there! The FA nomination has actually been re-set, kindly re-cast your vote at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Toronto Raptors. Thank you. (p.s. thanks for reviewing some of the flickr stuff I uploaded) Chensiyuan 04:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Retired NFL players

Thanks for the heads up on the consensus on NFL retired players. I didn't really follow the discussion as closely as I should have. Thanks! RyguyMN 14:46, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your barnstar! Cheers!--Yannismarou 18:17, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About external links

Hi Quadzilla99.

I'm reading the external links guideline and I think than the site I link have a valuable information. I don't see the difference with the other external links you don't delete.

I accept your decission, but I think that are interesting links. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.129.138.192 (talk) 21:03, 5 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Image:Lighthouse sky.jpg

I came across this image while looking at the requirements for Featured Pictures and saw that it had no source information at all, a history search showed that someone had deleted the entire summary and undoing it saw that you had labeled it as replaceable, due to that the "links were dead". I searched more in the history and discovered a one-off vandal AkvinRox (talk · contribs) was the person who changed the source to a myspace page and a google search for David Hasselhoff (as well as an image of Hasselhoff before that). The actual source is a flickr page which I have fixed the link to. –– Lid^(Talk) 09:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work! Quadzilla99 09:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

U of I telescope thingy

Thanks for the compliments and boldness, the only reason I listed it is because the reviewer never posted what they said they would, I just wanted to make sure. Have you dropped by Rock Springs Massacre lately? It's getting closer I think. IvoShandor 16:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No hurry, of course, just wondering, I have quite a few open questions and the like on the talk page, I updated the "to do" list and such incorporating concerns of others and myself, I addressed the preliminary look you had at it btw, thanks, and whenever you have time, of course. IvoShandor 16:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you.

Thanks. I try. --Maxa megalon 2000 19:14, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hey Quadzilla - thanks for the Barnstar. Nice photos on your User page, and great contributions! Dave --David Shankbone 13:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure no problem. Of course unlike you I didn't take any of those, I just uploaded them off of flickr so you're the one to be lauded. Quadzilla99 18:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Workhorse stuff is as laudatory as original work, in my opinion. --David Shankbone 11:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You're too kind, thanks. Quadzilla99 11:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Thorpe

Are you sure? It seemed awfully close based on the work you had done. I didn't want to add a Remove if you think there's any chance it can be salvaged. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Simms

You're welcome. Don't feel bad about your initial reaction. It was justified. I overextend myself on here because I want to do everything, but I don't have time. And I don't totally understand it all, so this is a learning process for me. In hindsight, I shouldn't have even nominated it for delisting. I should have just posted the review and noted that if changes weren't made I may then nominate it. But I learn something new with each review and most seem to appreciate my thoroughness. I'm now on my second requested review, so I must be doing something right. Anyway, I appreciate your feedback. Let me know if you want me to review any other articles in the future. Regards, LaraLove ^Talk/_Contribs 03:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Elvis Presley

Hi, I've noticed you've offered comments on the Elvis Presley article. I would welcome any help in format and structure of the article - including where the article is excessively long and what solutions you may suggest overall. My hope is to have a wiki-standard article worthy of 'good' then 'featured' status - and am working to that end. If you know of any editors who might work biographies or who are good at summarizing content or format - let me know so that I could solicite their help in improving the quality of the article. Thanks. --Northmeister 14:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League#Template:Infobox_NFL_season. It was made that way because of movements between cities and teams that suspended seasons. --Pinkkeith 22:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sivaji: The Boss

Hey can you read and hopefully up-grade the Sivaji: The Boss article to a GA. Many Thanks. Universal Hero 10:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{More sources}} or {{Refimprove}}

Re: Template talk:Unreferenced - use {{More sources}} or {{Refimprove}}, currently I prefer {{Refimprove}} is at has "adequately" in it. Jeepday (talk) 14:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand all that I preferred the old version though as it was much simpler. Quadzilla99 14:55, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

D-Wade

The article says he was born in Chicago and grew up in Robbins. I'm not sure if he was born in Chicago or not, but I'm sure he was raised in Robbins. Chicagoedits 18:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Minority Report

No worries. You edits have always seemed fine to me, but I don't think we want to base part of the article on student papers. If you can find real references, great! GlassFET 19:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Banners

I reverted the change to the Jordan talk page I already discussed this with Satyr when she/he added it. I also brought up the issue of the banner formats at the Village Pump where no consensus was reached see here. Previously Satyr and myself decided to leave out the shell format as it cluttered the page, this was also decided at Talk:Barack Obama and other talk pages. Quadzilla99 14:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I was not aware that SatyrN had already attempted to change the talk page and an agreement was reached to change it back – it had not been removed from Template:WikiProjectBannerShell/Cleanup project. I have added a comment to the relevant talk page to ensure that no other participants in the cleanup project will change it, though that should not be a problem – I removed it myself from the to-do list.

Cheers. — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 15:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note, it's kind of getting confusing per all the different options out there. Unfortunately we haven't been able to reach consensus as-of-yet if we ever will. Quadzilla99 15:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I still think the reduction of WikiProject banner clutter is critical. Personally, I prefer {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} to {{WikiProjectBanners}} and will continue working on the cleanup project. Most of the pages on that list have no container template at all; however, some have already gotten to them and transcluded {{WikiProjectBanners}}. I think I'll just leave those alone or strike them from the list; no conversion is necessary, though I do think it'd be helpful, and regular editors of the article can switch to {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} if they too like it better. Would that suit you as a temporary solution until consensus is established (if, as you say, it's established at all)? — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 16:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's not really up to me, as you can see from the disussion above I brought up at the Pump and no consensus was reached. It's really a grey area, of course I'd like it if the banners were kept but obviously that's my personal preference. Quadzilla99 16:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You'd prefer that they not have a container at all, not even {{WikiProjectBanners}}? — Madman bum and angel (talk – desk) 16:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marcus Jordan transferring to Whitney Young?

Has this been confirmed? I don't have access to the rivals.com article, but I was under the impression that this was just a rumor. Whitney Young is a public school, so Marcus would have to move to Chicago to attend. I'm just curious what that rivals.com article says, because I want to make sure the article isn't reporting rumors as facts. Zagalejo 16:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2003 NBA finals

Hi, assuming you know about this subject, please would you check this edit, as other edits today by the same anon IP user were vandalism. Fayenatic london (talk) 18:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ET FAC

I personally feel the FAC is the best place to list concerns, so please do so. Also, did you check the article first or have you been following someone else's opinion? Alientraveller 07:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course I did. Quadzilla99 11:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, so what exactly are your concerns? My primary talent is finding citations and including content that is factually accurate: if you wish to really help, then give me a dollop of notes. A mere oppose vote won't do. Alientraveller 15:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed

Hey, I noticed you are a frequent contributor to WP:GA/R. There are a few discussion threads that are floundering and need additional comments from other editors. I would like to act on these soon, as they have been up for discussion for several weeks, but so few people have commented that I can't even archive as "no consensus" since we have a near null-set of comments. If you have the time, could you take a peek at the following articles and make any comments at WP:GA/R as you see fit? The articles needing additional comment are: Jeremy Clarkson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Anaximander, and Syncaris pacifica. Thanks in advance for your help with this! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 18:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
