Hello

I am still new to wiki. And I am taking the whole responsible to construct the page about St. Peter's college, Colombo. The list of Old boys was originally added to its page but since the list is growing very large I decided to have it on to a new page ,'List of old.....'. I am taking information from old AGM reports of the OBU of SPC. And I can grantee that they are true and take responsible on all the information that I am writing on this page...Godfrey Walawage (talk) 23:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello! I am not doubting your sincerity, but the article in question runs afoul of WP:NOTDIR requirements. I might recommend saving a copy of the article offline, in the event it is deleted, and working to ensure there are proper Wikipedia links to the individuals cited on the list should the need arise to reintroduce it. Thank you and be well. Pastor Theo (talk) 00:22, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I am new to Wiki as well. I have written a 'talk' message regarding the significance of one of my submissions. Please let me know if my article is now acceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valuesourcer (talk • contribs) 00:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

If you are referring to Moderntailor, it appears your work was tagged with a G12 concern -- copyright violation. You may wish to revisit the subject ASAP and change the text to address that problem. Pastor Theo (talk) 03:35, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello i am new to wikipedia too and me and my assosciate thought it would be a good idea to make a page about our band now that we are getting more and more recognised around britain. Why did you feel the need to delete it?

For reference the band is called two happy chaps and we were halfway through constructing the page when i found out it was deleted by you...

why did you do this? there are many bands on wikipedia who dont have their articles deleted, what makes ours so exceptional?

Can you help me again?

Hello Pastor Theo. I was just wondering if you would be able to get a picture for Mutumuna Falls. You have been very good lately and your efforts are appreciated. Thank you.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 02:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello again! I am afraid this is one area where I cannot help you -- my knowledge of that subject is nonexistent. However, there is someone online named Dr. Blofeld who writes a lot of African articles. You may want to ask him for advice on that subject. Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 03:35, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

I posted on his talk page. Thanks.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 03:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I did look, no images on flickr, only one a google search engine. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 18:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Cape Verdean American

the last months there hasn't been any edit on this web page Cape Verdean American if visited cape verdean american wep pages on google yesterday and saw a few things of cape vereans in rhode island since if followed wikiproject rhode island i wanted to ask you if you could edit somethings on cape verdean american (Questchest (talk) 12:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC))

Hello, and thank you for thinking of me. This is not a subject where I have any expertise -- we have several Liberian families at my congregation, but no one from Cape Verde. However, I will take a look at the article and see what I can do to help bolster the article. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of St.Peter's College alumni

My article List of St.Peter's College alumni was deleted...I add all details form proper resources but how can I make sure next time when I create this article that it will not be deleted. Godfrey Walawage (talk) 00:31, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I would recommend reading the comments that DGG left at the tail end of the debate. The problem with the list was that the vast majority of people cited were not notable, as per Wikipedia standards. I might recommend creating a new section of the article on St. Peter's College that lists five-to-seven of the most prominent alumni. Good luck and please keep me updated on your editing progress. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:43, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Another picture please

Can you please get a picture for the song I Live for the Sun by The Sunrays. I thank you in advance.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 07:15, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I am not having much luck locating a photo. If I find one, I will let you know. Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 14:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Guatemala

Thanks. I would make them all more detailed and referenced but I have a minimum of 60 articles to make guatemalan buildings and structures independent so I need to work quickly. I will be doing the same with the other Central American countries! I'll try to reference them if I can. Sure is amazing what is missing. Check out this site. Hit the coffee museum!

Perhaps I need to march off and get the print books to enhance the article. Her 24 hour Annie Oakley/Calamity Jane shoot 'em up defense of hearth and home inspires me. Edison (talk) 04:22, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

If anything, she must have been quite a character! The discussion was a lot of fun -- thanks for a great challenge! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 10:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Follow up

What are your thoughts on the subject I asked you about before?---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 05:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I am extremely flattered that I would be considered. If you're ready, I am willing. :) Pastor Theo (talk) 10:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

The Last Temptation

If you decide to run, I would suggest reading this essay. Also, don't transclude your RfA unless you have a few hours to nurse it. The first few hours of an RfA people get finicky if you don't answer their questions. Anyways, good luck. Also, if you want a co-nom, it is up to you, although I frown upon having more than 2 nominators.---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 02:11, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if anyone wants to co-nominate, but I welcome support. I will get to the essay in a minute. This should be interesting, though I can't help but recall Matthew 22:14 when thinking about RfA! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 02:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Or the same chapter, 7:7.  :) Best of luck, Antandrus (talk) 02:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Lectionary articles

Ι know you. I saw your edits in numerous articles. I alos expand existed articles, uncial articles. The articles like Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus, Codex Alexandrinus, and Codex Bezae should receive FA in the future. The articles like Codex Ephraemi, Codex Boernerianus, Codex Washingtonensis and many others should receive status of GA article. So, it is nice to cooperate with you. Are you pastor? I was pastor, several years ago, but only three years. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 01:00, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am a full-time pastor in the USA. I didn't realize you were a pastor at one time. I am very impressed with your work. Keep doing what you are doing! Pastor Theo (talk) 01:03, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

You're on your own

GL, I'll be travelling the next few days, so you'll be on your own... but unless something major comes up, you should be fine.---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 06:31, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Have a good time on the road, Mr. B. Pastor Theo (talk) 11:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

WikiThanks

Hi Pastor Theo. I just wanted to thank you for contributing to my RfA. It wasn't one of the best RfA's held, but I've learned a lot from the experience. Sorry for sending you the message today, and not last week when my RfA was closed. I've been very busy the last time. Thanks once again! Kind regards, LouriePieterse 10:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much! It was a pleasure to support you! Pastor Theo (talk) 23:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

DYK for The Rookie (1959 film)

On July 7, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Rookie (1959 film), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Shameless thank-!spam

Dear Pastor Theo,

I just wanted to take a second to personally thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which just closed as successful at 66/6/1. I wish you the best of luck in your RfA -- it looks as though you're going to pass! I'll look forward to seeing your handiwork around the wiki. Best of luck, Matt (talk) 07:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Matt! It was a pleasure to support your RfA. Pastor Theo (talk) 09:55, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

FYI

Film plots do not require references. Please see [1]. Thank you. MovieMadness (talk) 14:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying that point. I will keep this in mind for any future film articles that I attempt to write. :) Pastor Theo (talk) 14:36, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

BQ

Could you look at the above page for me? I removed an entry that to me is offensive, and does not seem to have any value. There is a history tab and it seems to show that this is a recurring problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.110.134 (talk) 21:18, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

This user is already under investigation for sockpuppetry and seems to have an obsession with either myself or this terminology (note the multiple WP:SPAs in the history if you wish). The history of this disambiguation page shows an obsession by at least two users (one now deceased) to remove a term they don't like. An additional opinion is always welcome. Right now it is 3 users vs a single puppetmaster (the above IP). — BQZip01 — ^talk 00:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

It looks like the typical sock that's obsessed with a single sentence in a particular article. Sockpuppet investigation, for the benefit of Theo, is Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Grandma Dottie. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 00:56, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea why this IP decided to tap me, of all people, since I have no connection to the page. It is not something where I can offer any input. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I would guess that one of his socks communicated with you at some point in the past. Think hard, dude! The future of wikipedia lies in the balance! (I might be overplaying that a bit.) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 03:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

You had some communication with BQZip01 on his talk page, so the sock could have come here just as a random selection from that page. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 11:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

    • Didn't he say “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” Plastikspork (talk) 06:49, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
      • He did. He also said (or his scripwriter said), "Whatever it is, I'm against it!" Then there was the story he told about (literally) bumping into a priest, who said, "I want to thank you for all the joy you've brought into the world!" and Groucho said, "And I want to thank you for all the joy you've taken out of the world!"

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5) Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Hello! The article in question was marked as G10 and contained text that appeared to be less than flattering. If you are going to write an article, please abide by Wikipedia's editorial standards.

Unblock of Subman758

Since you have unblocked this user, are you aware of this discussion on ANI? Wikipedia:ANI#Legal_threat_-_Subman758 -MBK₀₀₄ 20:24, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, he still shows up in CAT:UNBLOCK since you did not disable the unblock request. -MBK₀₀₄ 20:28, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, and I was getting there when your message came up. I suspect this editor was indulging in clumsy sarcastic humor, and he has already withdrawn the comments. And I will get to the category thingie, too -- it is my first day as an admin, so please be patient with me. :) Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 20:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Harrasment

Pastor Theo

I feel that Adimns Bwilkens, & Baseball Bugs are abusing their power and Harassing me, and attempting to bait me into a fight. Baseball Bugs is accusing me of using Wikipedia to try and sell my image. I have NEVER offered the file for sale on Wikipedia. I have only stated how I had come to create the file, why I created the file, and how I eventually came to start selling the Image. If you ask me they are just full of SOUR GRAPES and I am feeling Harassed by them. I am sure somewhere, there is a rule that prevents them from doing this. This image never bothered anyone, until yesterday, when they tried to block me, they saw it on my user page.

I left the following message on Baseball Bugs Talk Page

"Why is it you think I am trying to sell something? Look at the files history. Where does it say I am offering it to Wikipedia Users for sale. All I have done, was add a blurb about the file, and what I do with it. NEVER have I offered it for sale! See again USERS LIKE YOU Accuse me of doing something, I am not doing."

Please Help, Respectfully Yours--Subman758 (talk) 16:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

The brouhaha raised by this is a self-defining illustration of why this kind of stuff is not allowed on wikipedia. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 16:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

However, I should thank him for unilaterally promoting me to admin. Or should I? How do you like it so far? :) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 16:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations Buggs, I didn't know that unilateral promotion was an option. I should have considered that before my RfA. I think it is quite appropriate that Pastor is partaking in a little Baptism by fire. :D --kelapstick (talk) 16:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Meh. Compared to the stuff I deal with IRL, this kind of stuff is like a weekend in Atlantic City! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 00:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I can't speak for the others, but I think Subman and I understand each other now. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 00:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

"Pastor Theo". And if you tell me your last name is "Logy", I might have to send a plaque of locusts your direction. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 00:35, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

No, no, not a plague of locusts. What ya think, I'm God? Don't listen to those rumors. A plaque of locusts. Like one of those awards they give when you've served 25 years and they're about to lay you off. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 04:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

A plaque of locusts? Never heard of the expression before. Plaque, yes. Locusts, yes. But never having the two together. I thought you misspelled "plague." Ah, silly me. :) Pastor Theo (talk) 04:06, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

That's what you were supposed to think. I seldom mis-tyep by accident. 0:) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 04:09, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Gitorious

Hi, please reconsider the speedy deletion of the Gitorious article. In addition to being the next most popular Git hosting site after GitHub and hosting several high-profile projects, such as Qt and Sugar, Gitorious' server software is notable as it is one of the most full-featured open-source project development platforms (the code underlying Sourceforge, Launchpad, GitHub, Bitbucket, CodePlex, and other popular services is all proprietary), and is among the most popular server choices for running a Git project hosting server. I have revised the article to emphasize these points on User:Tuxcantfly/Gitorious. Tuxcantfly (talk) 16:24, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello! In its current state, I believe the article runs afoul of WP:RS standards and will probably either get tagged for speedy deletion or tagged for AfD. It would help your cause if you can add proper references to the article. Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 22:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Request for being administrator and a query.

Hi,

I wanted to know that how can I be an administrator and how can I apply for it. And I also want to that can I upload the image which is captured by me for an article which I want to write.
