Jonas Brothers

Hi Ryan! I think that would be totally awesome, since I'm really busy with school everyday, but I would like to start a few articles for some singles from Camp Rock (soundtrack) (I actually started that page! :) Anyways, I would like to start several single articles similar to We Rock (Camp Rock song), and it would be awesome if you can help! And I think that there's nothing wrong with liking JB ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 23:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

Oh, by the way, if you have time, could you please put the episodes in a chart for Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream? Thanks, cuz I don't really know how to do that. ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 00:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

Okay, thanks. I really suck at putting things in a chart. It'll probably takes me 3 hours. I'm thinking about fixing this too, Sorry (Jonas Brothers song). ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 00:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

I'm gonna go do some homework right now. I have tons of things to do. Anyways, I just uploaded this: Image:JB Dream.JPG and it's a much better quality. Oh sorry, I meant the episode part of the show. You can do it whenever you have time. I'll ttyl ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 00:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

So, I kinda fixed "Sorry" a little bit... ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 00:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Calliegal

RE:Help desk revert

No problem, I figured that's what happened, so I reverted and placed it on the main page for you. Oh, and good work on the help desk. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 00:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks interesting. I just created an account there. Feel free to make me whatever you want on that wiki. Thanks for the invite! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 00:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Baseball uniform looks much better than it used to. Keep up the good work there. Let me know if you ever need a peer review. I dont know what Im looking at tho when it comes to WP:UPH. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 01:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Ahhh, I understand. Well personally I think it is great. Anything that will help users in good-standing have a better experience on Wikipedia is a good thing. Keep up the good work. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 01:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright thanks for letting me know. I can always opt to use Chris G's IRC status bot.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 06:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit

I notice that you're a PR volunteer. And that you like baseball articles. As such, you could be ideal... for a copyedit of a cricket article. I assume you know little/nothing about the sport, so are ideally placed for helping notice things like jargon not explained on first mention.

Donald Bradman is currently at PR and once it closes (should be in next couple of days) it really needs a final c-e (it's had several already, from various editors) before going to FAC. Could you be that wondrously helpful individual?

Cheers --Dweller (talk) 11:32, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I will start a little later. I need to be offline for a while. Regards, RyRy5 (talk) 13:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

AMAZING! tyvm --Dweller (talk) 14:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

It looks like your "copyedit on demand" is starting to work. Useight (talk) 15:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Whoops. I meant to put that on User talk:Razorflame. That's what I get for using a computer with IE7 on it. I really don't like tabbed browsing. I've struck my comment. Useight (talk) 22:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Userpage

Hi! Is it OK for you if I "copy" your userpage, and modify it to fit to my info? Maybe I'll also change the colors 193.90.57.83 (talk) 16:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Reverts

Looking through your recent reverts, everything looked good except for one kind of questionable one here. That one could pass as a good faith edit and probably should've been undid instead of reverted. The rest of the ones I saw looked like definite vandalism and were reverted correctly. Useight (talk) 23:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Probably not, unless some more information can be found that makes that particular single notable. Useight (talk) 00:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Back to the drawing board

It appears the globe stand was from a copyrighted image.

This means we're back to square one.

We need to either find another globe stand, or come up with a new idea altogether for the "Wikipedia World Traveler" award.

I look forward to any ideas you might have.

Mmm... Well, I don't know if it's possible but can you take the images located here? -- RyRy5 (talk) 01:01, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

By the way...

I answered the question that you posted on my talk page. Cheers, Razorflame 01:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I know, I just didn't comment after. Best, RyRy5 (talk) 01:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Review

I would be glad to. I think I can get to it tomorrow. Caution, I will be honest, maybe brutally :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 06:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:How Long Have You Been An Editor Tinkleheimer?

My power went off right when you asked that question. Like a lightning bolt came out of nowhere, I don't even think it was raining. Hopefully I didn't seem rude. But to answer your question:

Kate Says I first joined in April of 06. Did some major editing and such in December 06 Jan 07, took a break for awhile, and then started editing again in August of 07, taking a short mini wikibreak sometime in between. :) <3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 07:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot I asked that question. :P Well, I've been at Wikipedia since February 2008, and, well, I've been active since February 2008. I've amassed over 12500 edits, over 111500 counting deleted. I only have about 4000 edits in the mainspace. Well, quality, not quantity. :) -- RyRy5 (talk) 07:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Dear God, Cluebot with a personality. JK :D That sure is a lot of edits though. :) I just broke 2k myself, and that's with help of Twinkle finally working by switching to Firefox.<3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 07:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I just switched to firefox, or at least downloaded it, today. Twinkle still works on Safari, but my browser freezes on Wikipedia whenever I use it. I really only use navigation popups and Lupins anti-vandal tool, which I started to use yesterday, well the tool, not the popups. I've been using popups for over a month.\. --RyRy5 (talk) 07:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you got to be careful with these automated systems because without setting a limit on yourself, they can get out of hand. I know this for myself cause I got a little trigger happy just now (WP:RFPP) <3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 07:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I saw. Well, sometimes navigation popups revert another persons revert. Example: I see vandalism, I go revert it, and then this other person reverts it at the same time, and my popups end up reverting the other persons revert. It happens. I think I'll go to IRC. --RyRy5 (talk) 07:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

My review

I reviewed your contribs. The page can be found here. If you want to keep the page, feel free to move it to your own user space. Keep up the good work! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 22:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow, that's a really comprehensive review. Gonzo makes some excellent points. Your userspace editing is quite high, although this is understandable since you do userpage designs. He also brings up a good point, in that your article work is a little low, relative to your total work, only just over 1/4. The mainspace is the real reason why we're here on Wikipedia, so don't just glaze over mainspace work. Pretty much everything he says is great, make sure you read it carefully. Useight (talk) 23:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Useight, I did. It was very thorough and I've learned quite a bit from it. --RyRy5 (talk) 23:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Your welcome RyRy5, and thank you for the barnstar!! (its only my second one :) Like I said, if you have any other questions feel free to ask. Keep up the good work!! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 00:39, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Those AFD closures

They all look good. Enigmaman does mention that waiting 5 days is ideal, but most of those had gone for 3 or 4 and were pretty obvious cases of keep. I think they were fine. Useight (talk) 04:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

DYK

I've never submitted an article for DYK, but I did make some minor fixes just to clean it up a bit. Be bold and submit it. It looks pretty good. Useight (talk) 07:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, you've run into trouble in the past involving DYK. DYK isn't one of the areas that I deal with so I'm not the most familiar with it. However, if you wrote the article yourself, I don't see a problem with submitting it, that thread on the DYK talk page says that they would inspect your nominations with great scrutiny. So, if it's not a copyvio, you shouldn't have a problem. If it is, there's going to be some serious consequences, I'm sure. So, that's it, cut and dry. Useight (talk) 07:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

RE:Image

What do you think about Image:Wikirights.logo.png? I wanted to add text to the logo and make the background transparent. What do you think? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 07:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Give me a few minutes, I need to make the background transparent first, then Ill upload it to Wikirights. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 07:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[1] There you go, I cant figure out how to make the background transparent though. Ill keep on working on it and see what I can do. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 07:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[2] This is the shortest I can get it, the Wiki will not allow me to upload a picture with a title less then 3 characters. So I can only shorten it by 2 characters :( « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 08:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

We'll figure something out tomorrow, I going to sleep. Have a good night :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 08:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Pete Smith

I'm sorry, I just don't have the inclination to check this for copyvios right now. You've been warned about it and if you keep submitting copyvios people are not going to trust you anymore, so hopefully you've learned your lesson. I or someone else will check the article when it is about due for review. Regards, Gatoclass (talk) 10:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Donald Bradman

Hi. You made a good start! When do you think you might be able to complete the c-e? --Dweller (talk) 10:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm very busy tomorrow. Probably Friday (UTC). Is that good? Remember, I'm not very good at cricket-related articles. But I'll do my best. --RyRy5 (talk) 10:28, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

That'd be excellent. I'll be off-wiki for a looong weekend, so I'll pick it up middle of next week from you. Perfect. --Dweller (talk) 10:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, can I see the peer review it is currently in? It might give me some ideas on certain places to copyedit. The article itself is well written, but of course, you can always improve. -- RyRy5 (talk) 10:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Of course! --Dweller (talk) 10:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's really all I need to know. Most parts of the article doesn't need copyediting. I'd say over 65-75% 0f the articles looks just fine. Well, I'm tired. Talk to you later. :D -- RyRy5 (talk) 10:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Larry Jennings

I am finally getting to work on Larry Jennings. My question is, how can the templates be deleted? (Obviously not just deleting it, but making it at standard).--LAAFan 22:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

• P.S.- What is start class?--LAAFan 22:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. Okay, if you want the templates to be removed, you have to do what the templates say. Larry Jennings needs cleaning up in some areas. Focus on that than someone can remove it. Now, start class is one of the classes of the assessment scale. Start class articles usually have a good amount of information, but are still weak in areas. They usually need to be expanded. Articles must have at least one of the following to be a start class:

• a particularly useful picture or graphic
• multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
• a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
• multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article

That's pretty much all I can say at this point. Best, RyRy5 (talk) 02:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Ryan, that is fantastic. I was dreading going back through and cleaning up all those links; I did a lot of work on those references this afternoon in response to the peer review, and I was getting tired of fixing them today.
