Thanks for your efforts. I'll start looking it over soon. Much appreciated. --Dweller (talk) 09:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome. :D May I point out User:Andrew nixon, a user who was much experience in cricket-related articles and has many many DYKs about cricket. He could be of help. -- RyRy5 (talk) 09:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

6/11 DYK

On 11 June, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Pete Smith (baseball), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Pete Smith (baseball)

I read through the article and made minor fixes where I thought appropriate, but other than that I didn't see any problems. Well written, simply enough. jj137 (talk) 15:47, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's cool. I didn't notice that at first. jj137 (talk) 18:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userspace

Thanks mate. I actually did a little bit of work on it myself. As you were the original I am of course still giving you credit. Thanks again by the way. Rgoodermote 18:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. Also replied at my talk page. Rgoodermote 01:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikirights

Ryan, I need you to go there right now, it's an emergency. I need to do a checkuser, this cannot wait. Steve Crossin (talk)(email) 18:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Situation

Hi, R5 you may want to check out this. Don't worry about me. I"m worried about you. You should ask if Iri ~~and M~~ consider you part of this "mob" or "cabal". Nothing should happen to you because of me. You did not do anything. So I don't know why you were mentioned there.Xp54321^{(Hello!,Contribs)} 23:09, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Email

Again, you have email. Steve Crossin (talk)(email) 23:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your Userpage

Sure, what is it? Cheers, Kodster ^{(heLLo) (Me did that)} 01:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pick a color that you think will go with the page. I can change/remove it if I don't like it. Thanks a lot for the page design, and your welcome for the Iridescent bollocks. Cheers, Kodster ^{(heLLo) (Me did that)} 01:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's great, thanks. Time to drink a barrel of coffee, and then mountains of work to do. :) Cheers, Kodster ^{(heLLo) (Me did that)} 01:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK entry

I put in my first DYK entry today, under the 7-June area. Since you seem to review a lot of them, I would appreciate feedback. Thanks! Jclemens (talk) 04:49, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look. --RyRy5 (talk) 05:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contact off wiki

Hi Ry,

Can you please email me off wiki ASAP re Wikirights? We should do this sooner rather than later, if you still wish to move it. I will send you a link shortly.

Thanks,

Re: Your questions

I've answered your questions that you left at my RfA. ffm 12:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My RFB

Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight (talk) 02:58, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User Page Deletion

How do you delete a user page? Johnneson 08:38, 12 June 2008 (Pacific Standard Time)

Hello. Administrators can delete user pages but only when it is a problem or when the owner of the user page adds {{db-author}} to it. I hope that helps. :D -- RyRy5 (talk) 03:40, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Coalinga, California earthquake

Sure. Why not. Earthquake articles are way underrepresented compared to hurricanes and tropical storms. You might want to consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Earthquakes if you wish to continue contributing to this area. I am pleased that you have expanded your editing outside of baseball related articles -- that shows that you are a more well rounded editor. Happy editing! I'm an Editor of the wiki^{[citation needed]} 09:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure we can make the length requirements in 5 days. Heck, I wrote 1992 Nicaragua earthquake and that became a GA in 4 days! I don't think we can expand it that uch, but I'll see what I can do, mainly adding an infobox (done, although some paramters need to be filled in) and uploading USGS maps and public-domain images. I'm an Editor of the wiki^{[citation needed]} 09:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you say that? I have already uploaded one and plan to upload at least one more. By the way: anything at the USGS site you can upload and copypaste for it is exempt from copyright. I'm an Editor of the wiki^{[citation needed]} 10:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

T:TDYK - sourced later in article, per WP:LEAD

I responded to your comment re the article I wrote about George Takei's autobiography. Please correct and verify the hook, per my response/explanation and per the cite to Associated Press. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 16:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also went and added that same cite to the WP:LEAD of the article itself, so there is no confusion where the info is sourced to. Cirt (talk) 17:05, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That's all that needed to be clarified. Everything else was verified. What date is the hook under? I can't seem to find it for some reason. -- RyRy5 (talk) 18:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
