Guitarherochristopher

Hello Backslash Forwardslash. I have just recived this message from what appears to be GHC's father so I have decided that it would be best to forward it to you.

The message reads as follows:

Dear coldplay export.I have no clue about wikipedia,etc.I am guitarherochristopher's father.I have tried to contact wikipedia,but cant figure it out.I use to be a recording artist but now I am in the medical field.My son is a 13 year old autistic boy who is a gifted in many areas mainly he has a photographic memory and spends his time making thousands of animations and videos of coldplay.some are over 1 hour long.the reason I am writing I try to monitor chris' computer time in our living room and I see he is being blocked and complained about a lot.I am concerned and dont know exactly what to do.I want him to continue doing work that is accurate,but I dont want him to do things that are not true.I tell him over and over not to edit ANYTHING!!!!.,He try's to comply,but he cant resist sharing his ideas.I am sorry for any problems he is causing.I am hoping you can write me back and let me know if you have any ideas to help him.Also can you pass this on to an administrator,so they can help me.My email is <snip>.thank you for your time.sincerely chris sr.. iGUItARH3R0KHR!ZT0PH3R!_-=₪ 22:27, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I have also resonded at GHC talk page.--Coldplay Expert 23:43, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I would be extremely surprised if that came from anyone older than the age of eleven. I've never met a fully grown man so incapable of communication. (Unless, of course, English is the second language, but I don't think that is the case.) I would advise you to tell Christopher that playing games don't end well and that if he wants help editing, he should ask someone himself in a mature manner. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 00:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Birks and VC recipients

Hey mate. Again, I'm terribly sorry for being such a bloody pain in regards to Birks' MM. I will have a little tinker, though, and see if I can do something, so back away from the paragraph and don't remove it! ;-) Lol. Now, I've been meaning to mention this for months, ever since you first started work on the Birks' article, and I'm very sorry that I have not until now but I keep forgetting or got distracted (yes, it is a poor excuse), but I do possess I think three sources that mention Birks. I haven't had much of a look to see if they can add much to the article, but I will see if I can add anything extra, if you like. Also, the Australian War Memorial website contains PDF files of recomendations for honours and awards from the First World War—the ones I posted on Birks' came from there—and are a great source for articles. It is located here. The section also has award cards for honours—labelled as "recommendations"—for honours and awards from the Second World War and Korean War, but they generally only contain a few words so aren't magnificent, but they, too, can be helpful. I think that is basically all I wanted to say for now. :) Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 08:40, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm still finding may way around the AWM site; it was much easier for Kingsbury because there was a book all about him. ;)

I've checked a few books, and most don't cover Birks beyond and expansion of the VC action, but if you have any more information it would of course be welcome. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 09:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Manual update

I think something is wrong with the current image. Are you sure it is the right one? --BorgQueen (talk) 04:28, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Should be fixed. As a side note, do you know if I updated Template:Did you know/Next update/Time correctly? The template doesn't seem to change, even after purging. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 04:30, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Fixed now. --BorgQueen (talk) 04:31, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually the bot didn't miss it. Are you aware that the update interval is 8 hours nowadays? --BorgQueen (talk) 04:58, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Bah. I haven't been on WT:DYK, so I must of missed that memo. Apologies for the disruption. ._. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 04:59, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi BF, someone has recreated the above out of process yet again; you deleted it in June after an AfD. Would you mind re-deleting? The person behind it has been extremely persistent. This is probably the 10th time or so it has been recreated on one page or another. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 23:10, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
