Daniel Garcia

FYI, Daniel Garcia (magician) already went through a successful AfD, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Garcia (magician). I would just put a {{db-repost}} tag on the article, and an admin can delete the new version on sight. --Elonka 21:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Done, thanks for info --Greatestrowerever 21:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Styliztik

Why was the article deleted? All of the information about that person is useful and relevant. ---- User talk:Rafer11alston

un-encyclopedic, unreferenced, and non-notable--Greatestrowerever 23:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

JP Money

Hello Greatestrowerever. I would like to contest this tag because JP Money does exist and is a notable figure in the Columbia and Frogtown area. If you would like more info to validate this claim please respond and I will provide the necessary information to prevent this page from being deleted. Also, if you would like to you may search "Frogtown" and see that this is an actual place and JP Money is the interim Mayor. Thank you in advance for your efforts! 206.196.253.3(talk) 2 April 2007

Thansk! And help to wikiarc

Thanks for your welcome message.

Could you help me please? Someone has deleted the entire wikiarc page again. Fourth time now, I believe. Also, even my comments on the wikiarc discussion page have been deleted. No trace. Is that not bad behavior here? --Rasmus Paludan 20:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

it keeps getting deleted because it is a neologism with no verifiable independent use.--Greatestrowerever 20:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

April 2007

Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia, which you did in Racist Source Tape. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thank you.

POV dispute

Hi there: You may remember welcoming me to Wikipedia a while back. I wonder if I could trouble you to look at Mark Kirk (convict) and give an administrator's opinion on the POV question presented on the talk page? I don't know if this is the proper way to handle this, but I have no desire to initiate an edit war and thought a third-party opinion would be useful. Many thanks in advance for anything you can do to assist in this matter. Accounting4Taste 15:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Liseg

Hi, I see you warned this user that you were going to speedy his/her article, Gerlinger, but the tag was never placed on the article. So I went ahead and removed the warning from the user's talk page. I think Gerlinger should be turned into a disambig page and want to give the editor a chance to do some of the work. I left a note at Talk:Gerlinger, let me know what you think. I haven't looked into whether the individuals in question are notable enough to have their own articles, it could be someone's personal genaealogy project, but they may be notable per WP:LOCAL. Thanks! Katr67 14:44, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Keyword... Testing

I noticed that you proposed for deletion the article keyword.... I stumbled upon it today and it has changed very little. What was the outcome of that proposal... and why is that page still crap? 128.158.145.51 18:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Article

I knew that the image was inaccurate by location, and I removed it. Thanks for the heads up though :)Sr13 17:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your edit to User talk:72.191.185.179.

I have no idea what you were up to, but the placing of so many templates, with no explanation of why, and no signature, looks like an act of vandalism to me. If you have an explanation, please offer it. Otherwise, knock off the assinine behavior. Thanks. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 22:46, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes i'm not too sure how i managed to put that template there so many times. I copied and pasted it from the warning templates page but i'm not sure what happened.

The user had vandalised page Chico's Tacos a couple of minutes before.--Greatestrowerever 22:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, if it was an honest mistake, I apologize for my tone. I am not sure how that happened either, but I understand that strange things happens sometimes. I have given him appropriate warnings for his vandalism. One more time, and he is blocked. Thanks for your response. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 22:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

This tends to happen quite frequently as i use a shared IP address at Bath Spa University (194.81.80.52) --Greatestrowerever (talk) 15:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Apologies

Apologies for adding the warning to your page. I tried to revert some vandalism by 194.81.80.52 to Bath Spa University using an automated tool and it made a bit of a mess of the undo, popping the warning onto your page by mistake. I've removed the offending notice. Incidentally, you might like to add a watch to the user talk page for 194.81.80.52 to keep an eye on their bad behaviour. David Bailey (talk) 15:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove a message that says "Please do not remove this message"

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal. Your removal of this template has been reverted. This refers to this edit. --— Sebastian 06:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not on User talk:Greatestrowerever. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. --Greatestrowerever (talk) 14:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

This message does not explain why you state that I did not assume good faith. Conversely, did you try to assume good faith for me? --— Sebastian 06:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The Oval

Hello Greatestrowerever. I reverted your changes to The Oval in Jason Gillespie's article as you had made (i think) a typo. You changed Brit Oval to Thr Oval. I'm not sure if Brit Oval or The Oval is preferred, just picked up on the typo. Cheers. Jonesy (talk) 22:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I have changed it back without the typo, cheers for picking it up. --Greatestrowerever (talk) 13:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Ultras

I like the map very much! Any chance of doing slightly more zoomed-in ones, one for each continent, to put on the lists of Ultras that are going up? Cheers, Mark J (talk) 16:12, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Ultras in Tajikistan

Hi, following your lead with Ismoil Somoni Peak I have added the classification Ultra in the infobox for Lenin Peak. However, no prominence is given for all the other 7000+ peaks in Category:Mountains of Tajikistan. Can you add the missing data in the infoboxes or tell me where and how I can find the numbers? I am specifically talking at this stage about Independence Peak, Peak Korzhenevskaya, Karl Marx Peak, Mayakovskiy Peak, Patkhor Peak, and Mount Garmo. Thank you. The next question, of course, is how to transfer these Ultras to an appropriate list for Central Asia or Asia (which does not seem to exist at this stage). --Zlerman (talk) 02:09, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for the link to info on prominences etc. Very useful. I will start working on it and eventually create a list of Ultras for Central Asia. --Zlerman (talk) 12:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I am getting frustrated with the list of the less famous Tajik Ultras on peaklist.org. Example: "Gora imeni Fuchika" (line 21): this should be "Fucik Peak" (after the Czech journalist Julius Fucik, who visited Central Asia in the 1930s), but "Fucik Peak" is not mentioned in any of my Tajik sources. Furthermore, it is mentioned only three or four time on Google (in Russian, nothing in English), and in these cases it appears to be a 4,100 m peak in Kyrgyzstan (in the Issyk-Kul' region), not a 4,573 m peak in Tajikistan. On my topographical map of Tajikistan, I find a 4,573 m peak at the coordinates specified in peaklist.org, but it is unnamed. The link to 100K maps given at the bottom of peaklist.org does not work any more. So I am stymied. Can you direct me to good sources that list Central Asian mountains by altitude, not necessarily by prominence? I would like to check this as thoroughly as possible, because the new Ultras in the list will need to have new Wikipedia articles written about them (if only stubs). Any guidance you can give me will be much appreciated. Thanks. --Zlerman (talk) 15:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Gallery tag removal

I am wondering why you removed the Cleanup-gallery tag from the page Most prominent mountain peaks of the United States. The page clearly has an image gallery which is discouraged under wikipaedia guidelines. Maybe you should consider improving the article instead of removing the tag without addressing the issue. ----Greatestrowerever^{Talk Page} 22:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

The galleries at Most prominent mountain peaks of the United States and Mountain peaks of Canada are clearly in keeping with the guidelines and are quite relevant to the topic of the articles. Please restrain your use of the cleanup-gallery template to galleries that do not follow the guidelines. The guidelines only discourage the use of galleries that are overly large or that do not contain material that enhance the article in a meaningful way. Thanks, Buaidh (talk) 13:16, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

WikiCup Awards

		The 2009 WikiCup Participant Award
		This WikiCup Award is presented to Greatestrowerever for their participation in the 2009 WikiCup. Your contributions along the way have greatly improved the quality of many articles, pictures, and sounds on the English Wikipedia.

Congratulations! Hope to see you sign up for the 2010 WikiCup, here, if you haven't already! iMatthew ^talk at 22:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

The 2010 WikiCup begins tomorrow!

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:19, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Pathfinder Platoon

I have reverted your edit to Pathfinder Platoon, it was decided at AFD to redirect it to the brigade article as it is not notable by itself.--Jim Sweeney (talk) 14:10, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Cam ^(Chat)(Prof) 15:08, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Come on - it was funny and he deserved it! ----Greatestrowerever^{Talk Page} 15:10, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

West Country

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at West Country. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:41, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

As you will recall from previous discussions, your opinion that the term "West Country" only relates to Devon and Cornwall carries no weight, because it is verifiably used to cover other areas. Incidentally, I didn't make any edits to your user page, only added the above message to this page. Could you please remove your false allegation from my talk page, as it might confuse people. Thanks. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:55, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I think you'll find that I commented on your user talk page and not your user page. Again, please withdraw the allegation that I added material to your user page. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:51, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Disrupting Wikipedia to make a point

In the light of the above two threads I think it might be helpful for you to read WP:POINT. Disrupting Wikipedia to make a point is strongly frowned upon, and while you may not intend it, attempts at humour can very easily look like deliberate disruption; humour (especially sarcasm) comes across poorly in a text-only medium. Your edits have now attracted the attention of a number of administrators and, as Ed notes above, you are hovering on the verge of a block. If you want to contribute positively to Wikipedia your work will be very welcome; if not, there are many other websites that would perhaps suit your style of interaction better. If you need help or advice I'm sure any of the editors and admins that have posted here recently would be happy to assist. EyeSerene^talk 07:49, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. Grapple X (submissions) currently leads, followed by Sasata (submissions), Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and Casliber (submissions). However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
