New Project

Useight and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. iMatthew 2008 18:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review

Hi. You made the GA-rewiev for Gojira (band) so I thought you would like to make the review for Byzantine (band) on WP:Good article nominations#Music. My other question is about your userpage: How did you put the GA-signs right next to the "User:ThinkBlue" on the top and left to the rollback sign?--  LYKANTROP  12:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I figured the GA-signs out...--  LYKANTROP  13:01, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. That is not even a subtle problem...there is enough time..  LYKANTROP  19:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll fix it..--  LYKANTROP  10:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Cinco de Mayo. :) Zenlax T C S 20:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess when the peer review gets archived, we might have a chance of nominating Survivor Series to the Good article nomination's page. Thoughts? Zenlax T C S 19:28, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. I just wanted to make sure you're still in. –LAX 01:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

userpage challenge

see my userpage and tell me if you accept. Just so you know, I'mOnBase and you're not. 21:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, do you want to help me convert WWE SmackDown! (video game series) into something similar to List of Harvest Moon titles? Which will help us add another FL to our resume =)--~SRS~ 22:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We can start now, but I think it will be better if we do it in a sandbox, because this will take a long time to complete.--~SRS~ 23:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lets start in my other sandbox, umm, first let me get started formatting the table, so then you can follow, is that cool?--~SRS~ 00:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I created the first example. Does it look good, I modified it a bit from the Harvest Moon one. Also, on the left under the title will go the boxart, I think it will look cool like that.~SRS~ 00:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wat you can do (if you want) is source the release dates of the games, and source the console they are released on. Or do you want to make the tables?~SRS~ 00:42, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Im cool with it. Use sources like, IGN, GAMESPOT, but don't only use those, try to find article on them, so the article could look more reliable. =)~SRS~ 00:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. Since the game is known as Exciting Pro Wrestling, in Japan, try finding sources for that as well.~SRS~ 00:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did the first 3, you can source it now, (to avoid edit conflicts), and I'll work on the rest, the rest of the week. =)~SRS~ 01:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cool.~SRS~ 01:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you source the thing soon? Not to sound rude, but I want to finish it soon, because my time here on Wiki will be cut down to state finals.--~SRS~ 01:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I meant because of State Finals, but ok.~SRS~ 02:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Happy Birthday

Thanks for the birthday message! That's the second time today someone's noticed my birthday (though to be honest, I don't care if people don't notice). The Chronic 03:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Utah will finish off the Lakers. If they can't, New Orleans or San Antonio will finish them off. If they still can't, Boston or Detroit or Orlando or Cleveland will definitely finish them off! And I'm didn't mean to sound negative. All I've been doing on Wikipedia these days are checking new messages, replying to new messages and make minor edits here and there. Can't wait for school to end so I can get back on Wikipedia full time. Also, I just got GTA IV (so yay!). Other than that, I've got nothing else to say. Cheers, The Chronic 00:33, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have it? If not, you should. If, so, well... um... uh... um... good for you! :) The Chronic 00:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nightwing-McDaniel.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Nightwing-McDaniel.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Hey, Blue. Listen, I wanted to give you a proposition on what next article we can get to Good article status; would you be interested in helping out? Also, I've sent you an e-mail. Zenlax T C S 19:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, we should work on Chris Jericho's article and see if it can be elevated to Good article criteria. What do you think? Zenlax T C S 19:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That is fine, but remember that I won't be editing some days next week, as to you-know-what. The reason I picked Jericho's article is because I can see the article passing the Good article criteria and due to the fact he's one of my favorites to watch on Raw. :) Zenlax T C S 20:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like it?

You can use it if you want.

Hello, ThinkBlue. You have new messages at Gary King's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
If you want to work on a film biography, then I would also recommend working on a film director's biography, such as Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, or Francis Ford Coppola. I find directors to be much more interesting characters than film actors; also, a lot of great actors have branched into film directing, like Clint Eastwood, so I would consider them. Actors just aren't as interesting to me. Gary King (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Goofy question

Hi I noticed you are doing the GA review for Robert F. Kennedy assassination - it is also at Peer Review, so do you think you would be able to make some comments there too? If not I understand, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:46, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I can do a PR on it that is mostly MOS and grammar and "this sentence does not make sense" things - I will try to do that in the next several hours. I am not an expert on the subject, so my PR comments won't be much on content. I have not yet read the article, thanks Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I just read the article and can make some suggestions. Will do so next, then feel free, thanks Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks - I put up the {{doing}} template to avoid edit conflicts on PR. I have been very busy with PR lately, but I do GA reviews on occasion - I think I have done 7 to date, mostly Geography and a few on comic books. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:35, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • The PR on RFK is done. I am not quite sure what you mean by the question on Mr. Freeze - do you want me to do a GA review on it or to help with a GA review or not sure... I think I can help in almost any case, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • I will be glad to look at it when it gets to peer review - thanks for clarifying and sorry to be so dense before. It may take me several days after it is listed, as I try to help out with otherwise unreviewed articles. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:14, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • I think there are twenty-two bullet points in the Other versions section - four in the first and 18 in the second part. It may be there are places where bullet lists are OK, but this seems excessive. I would try to make it regular text. For the alternate versions, perhaps similar ones could be grouped together - if there are three or four Superman Jokers, for example, I would try to combine those in one paragraph, and lump other similar ones together. Does this seem clearer? As always, feel free to ignore my advice, but I think 22 bullets would be a deal breaker at FAC Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:45, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(unindent) The pertinent section of MOS is Wikipedia:MOS#Bulleted_and_numbered_lists. I recently learned WP:LOCE is not really functional. There are copyediting volunteers at WP:PRV who might be able to help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have no idea how long a copy edit will take - LOCE is taking months. I owuld go ahead and ask now Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sounds like a plan - good luck and I will watch for Mr. Freeze - feel free to remind me if I forget ;-) Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would go with whatever the comics use most - if they spell it out, use "Mister", if they mostly use "Mr.", I would yse that. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No Joke!!!

Sorry if I caused any harm or inconvenience to you, but the link I added is a genuine link to a genuine album. Once again, I am truly sorry for any inconvenience. Tool-apc (talk) 02:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No Biggie :)

It's okay, you couldn't have known what I was editing about, not many people have heard of the band or the album. Sorry tho. Tool-apc (talk) 02:08, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Question

What, do you mean the edit summary of "Going back?" If so, I don't know, it just seemed like a good filler edit summary. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 03:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Byzantine

I think I fixed the Byzantine (band). The only problem is that I always kind of have no idea what to write to the lead section..--  LYKANTROP  12:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is ready. I think that the lenght of the lead section is adequate to the artcle now (compared with Godsmack).--  LYKANTROP  09:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Hey

Nothing much, just working on PPVs. What have you been doing? –LAX 01:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well that's cool. Yeah, I am probably going to nominate it on Monday. I currently have five PPVs up at WP:GAN. I know, I know, that's alot. But, they should all pass with no problems. (If only people would review PW articles) ;) Anyway, why are you distancing yourself away from PW articles? –LAX 01:56, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, sure. Why not? But this time, let's work on it in a sandbox. That way, we're not "rushed" to get it done. –LAX 02:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's not what I was referring to, but yeah, we should finish it. –LAX 02:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Orton passed for GA

Just letting you know I reviewed it (something I haven't done in a long time, but since I just got one accepted and have another in the queue I feel it's important to give something back) and all it needed was an extra cite in the intro. So i put it there and it's now a GA. Daniel Case (talk) 02:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know that you've decided to review my Howmet TX article for GA, so I figure I should give you a bit of a heads up. I will be leaving this Thursday for a week long vacation, meaning I wont be back until the 28th. If it is at all possible, I'd like to be able to make corrections and try and get the Howmet TX article through GA before I leave.

However, if you think it might take some time, that is certainly understandable and I do not wish to rush you. I simply just want to make you aware that there will be a week break where I cannot make improvements to the article. Thank you for choosing to review. The359 (talk) 01:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
