DoomsDay349 21:19, 29 April 2007 (UTC) Hilarious I like the edit summary on your edit :) --Bkkbrad 01:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC) Historic district Thanks for the review on Historic district. Much appreciated as that one was in queue for quite some time. IvoShandor 18:13, 5 May 2007 (UTC) Nice, I will have to thank him, the both of you have been most helpful. IvoShandor 18:25, 5 May 2007 (UTC) I have Space Interferometry Mission up. I watch the architecture section for Chicago project stuff, it seems like a lot of their nominations have been slipping through even though they aren't up to snuff, usually TonytheTiger noms them, I like the guy, he's a good editor, but their GA noms are weak, a lot. Chicago Theatre was renommed without the original concerns being addressed. And recently passed Wigwam (Chicago), didn't look all that great concerning the criteria. There is the nom for Blackstone Library too, from the Chicago project, while it looks a little better, it has a trivia section, I mean, come on, that's just really bad structure. My problem is that a lot of these nominations don't seem broad enough for articles about major local landmarks in the nation's third largest city. Either way, something to watch for I think, another way to help clear the backlog I guess. I am not trying to single out this user or anything, just want GA to mean GA is all. It shouldn't be easy. IvoShandor 18:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC) You might want to take a look at and comment on the review for Marquette Building, another Chicago article. I can't believe this even passed. I don't know who is reviewing these articles but at the very least it seems suspicious. IvoShandor 18:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC) Yeah, maybe, just not a very diverse crowd is all, not enough editors. I'll quit bugging you now. IvoShandor 18:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC) You mean, like, "wow, a message? For me? Well I never . . . " IvoShandor 18:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC) Yep me too. Hope you enjoyed that yellowish orange bar. IvoShandor 19:22, 5 May 2007 (UTC) WP:ADOPT input Hello, DoomsDay349. The Adopt-a-User program is looking for new ideas and input on the program. If you are still interested please stop by the talk page and read some of the ideas being floated and give a comment. If you want to update or change your information on the adopter's list page, now would be a great time! Thanks! V60 干什么？ · VDemolitions 03:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for the GA feedback on Talk:Henry_Darger... it gives me an idea what needs to be fixed there.--Isotope23 17:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC) Re: Thanks Yep, every WikiProject rates articles according to the importance for itself, so an article can be of Top importance for a WikiProject, but of Mid importance for another. Just as I told you here :-) Cheers! -- ReyBrujo 20:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Talk:Main Page I've appropriated your barnstar "idea" (for one use, at least); I hope you don't mind. :) Joe 04:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC) National Gem and Mineral Collection I come to you now asking for help. The article that was deleted has been moved and copied word for word and put into a different artice. Search National Gem and Mineral Collection and you will see what I mean. I did not put it there, I don't like my article being plagerised like that with no credit being given to me for writing the article. Could you please tell me what I should do. Thank you Wam24 20:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)(UTC) Todd Strassman He is notable enough. I was looking at What Is This?, and I saw a red link, so I just put something there. The only reason I put it there was because I just read about him in a book called Scar Tissue, so yeah. Xihix 22:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Your NPWatcher Application Dear DoomsDay349, Thank you for applying for NPWatcher! You've been approved to use it.

If you need help, feel free to contact me or join NPWatcher. «Snowolf How can I help?» 20:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC) GAC backlog elimination drive This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 00:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Help Dude, Andrew and Shane messed with my page and vandalized like 20 pages. I'm on my last warning already. Please help me!GuyDoe 20:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC) How do i change my password? 67.140.93.159 21:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC) Thanks. GuyDoe 21:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC) Haystacks (Monet) Sometimes, I am a little dense, but the section you say is poorly cited has 6 citations for 14 lines of text and you say it has an unreferenced quote where I see none. I am considering requesting a review. Please point out the unreferenced quote. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 00:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Issue resolved. DoomsDay349 00:57, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Hi, Dooms. You might want to have another look at Haystacks (M). Let Tony or me know whether the sources do the trick. Many thanks, JNW 05:12, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Do we need to repost at WP:GAC or would you reconsider the article that now meets your objections? Thanks. We will repost after getting WP:PR feedback. In the future, if you feel a fail comes down to a handful of citations and have no other direction you may want to consider a GA on hold. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:03, 31 May 2007 (UTC) RFA? Please tell me whether you would like to go or not. If you accept, I will create the page. Thank you, and please reply as soon as you can. bibliomaniac15 00:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Sure. Take your time. Happy "late" Memorial Day. bibliomaniac15 01:15, 30 May 2007 (UTC) I've created the page. Feel free to read my intro and tell me what should be corrected. bibliomaniac15 02:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC) You've got my support. Good luck mate. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 07:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC) I added an optional question. Because it's rather trivial, don't answer it if you don't want. bibliomaniac15 02:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Thanks. By the way, try not to bold your answers, they're an eyesore. bibliomaniac15 02:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Good luck on your RfA!! You'll find that a few people can't make their own opinions and merely repeat what other people say, both good and bad(see how many times "mature" and variations thereof occur). Don't let it discourage you. You'll do fine. Wikidan829 03:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Like most Wikipedia policy, RFA promotion tends to be vague standards. Most users reject the notion of percentage and instead rely on consensus to promote users. How crats measure this arbitrary consensus I don't know. It somehow relates to the Meta essay about polls being evil. Percentage is just around as a guideline, so far as I understand it. I think your RFA will turn to a borderline pass, since most rely on the 75% stated. bibliomaniac15 An age old question... 00:06, 2 June 2007 (UTC) How's it going? How are you holding up? I knew it was a harsh process, but, yeah, It's not pleasant having every edit you've made (ever) and then being judged against it. If I even make the strain of 5 more days then I'll start thinking about what next. Until then, if you want someone to talk to in the same basket, give me a bell. Cheers, a very tired Dfrg.msc 12:45, 2 June 2007 (UTC) It does help. Thanks mate, and some good luck yourself. Thiough I think I'm loosing it a bit, I just called you meat. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 21:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC) Hi, I hope you aren't being put off too much by the outrageous ageist opposes on your RfA. I often find oppose reasons bad, but when they are to do with age, race, gender etc I was actually fuming :P I will always question such "votes" for the reason that they are nothing to do with being an admin, and to say that kind of thing wouldn't be acceptable in real life either. Good luck with it, and don't worry if it doesn't pass. You'll be an admin one day! Majorly (talk | meet) 20:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC) AT&T Corporate Center GA Thanks for the support. Of the three you reviewed, I think Haystacks is the best article, but I think you are right that it was not cited that well. I think my problem is that anything that I did not start from scratch since gaining understanding of citation standards I have had trouble getting up to par. You can see what I mean looking at my Review record. I think I will put Haystacks (Monet) in for a peer review for some help while trying to find the proper citations. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 17:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC) email I just sent you an email--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 20:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Re. Userpage Hi DoomsDay. Heh, feel free to use my userpage as a base for yours as you please. :-) In fact, I'm kinda honored that a few users have been doing that, makes me feel helpful as well. I'm sure that if you check this out, you'll soon stop worrying about your page having similarities to mine. :-D Regards, Húsönd 00:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Adminship Congratulations, you are now an administrator! If you haven't already, now is the time look through the Wikipedia:Administrators' how-to guide and Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or at the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. And remember, when it comes to expressing yourself on your userpage, sometimes you should give a fuck! Warofdreams talk 03:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Congratulations! :-) -- ReyBrujo 03:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Congrats DoomsDay! You'll make a fine admin. Wikidan829 03:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Great to hear bud, you deserve it. Now I won't have to keep bugging Rey all the time!--Kranar drogin 03:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Congrats, good luck with the admin duties--$UIT 04:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Welcome aboard the Admin Ship! Good luck with your new tools. Majorly (talk | meet) 09:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Don't read the how-to guide or the reading list, read WP:CABAL and WP:ROUGE. :) Congrats DoomsDay. · AndonicO Talk 13:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Congrats on becoming an admin. I'm sorry i opposed you first based solely on your age. But i feel you'll do a great job. BH (Talk) 16:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC) 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.

DoomsDay349 20:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC) That's another notch on my belt. :) You might also want to help in CAT:CSD, with its perennial backlog. And remember, adminship is no big deal, but it's still something you should give a fuck about. bibliomaniac15 An age old question... 22:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Have fun with your backlogs. ;) Ddcc 02:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Speedy deletion Frankly, I don't, since the creators in question should have already been warned, but I guess it would be good to do so. It's just that when there's a big backlog, it gets pushed to the side. bibliomaniac15 An age old question... 00:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Re:Gnome Week Gnomes, unite! File:P1000744.jpg You are invited to participate in Gnome Week, a mass article cleanup drive between June 21 and June 28, 2007. This week, backlogs will be cleared. Articles will be polished. Typos will be fixed. Bad prose will be edited. Unreferenced articles will be sourced. No article will be safe from our reach! The more people who participate, the better Wikipedia will become as a result. I would love it if you would participate! - Zacharycrimsonwolf Edit message Defending argument to the notability and validity of "Dickov" Ok ok fair enough. However, I found that many articles refering to subjects related with video games such as "Rhasta" have been deleted. While Dickov may not be as wide-concerning as a character in the game, why is it that other surviving character biographies such as Cloud Strife are not deleted? I am unable to understand fully Wikipedia's fourteen point policy regarding the deletion of such material. Moreover I quote:- Even if he is some sort of super-prolific or amazing player in the game, he hasn't done anything notable beyond that. While you say this regarding my article, I have found articles providing evidence to the contrary. Articles such as Overrated (wow guild), SK Gaming among others. I cannot understand the double standards applied to my article. Assuming the conflict of interests. Suppose I managed to convince a fan or god forbid, a fan willingly creates an article tributed to me. Would that article be just as survivable as my previous 4 attempts to get Wikipedia to recognise the magnitude of "Dickov"? Does wikipedia regard the world of Video-games not adequate enough to be accomodated into such a powerful and amazing system such as itself? Importance is also extremely (repeat:extremely) subjective, would it not be offensive to other parties to have their work deemed unimportant? --Dickov 19:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC) User:Buddhist143 's (see his talkpage) disruptive editing You had warned him once and now he is upto it again addind non sense about celebrities relgion by either saying they are Hindu or Buddhist.--KnowledgeHegemony 14:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:Draconians.jpg Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Draconians.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 12:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC) Assistance Thanks! Could you by any chance remove that message you wrote on the talk page though (I kind of want to keep it empty). Sorry for all the trouble. -No, I meant delete the two messages from the history log as well (make it accessible only to mods), kind of like what you did with the previous talk page. Do you think you could also delete the welcome message (from the history log) on my talk page of my IP as well? every time i come on, "the new message" sign shows up, and it's kinda annoying. Thanks, sorry for all the trouble. Vacation I will be going to China to visit my relatives tomorrow, so could you please help handle any questions and requests that come to my talk page while I am gone? Thanks. bibliomaniac15 BUY NOW! 20:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC) GA Reviews When you have the chance Doom, could you review some GA nominations since there is such a huge backlog over at the GA nominations: Banditti of the Prairie John Deere House and Shop City and Town Hall Civil War Memorial (Sycamore, Illinois) Egyptian Theatre (DeKalb, Illinois) Thanks.--Kranar drogin 02:40, 9 July 2007 (UTC) Image:Test_of_the_Twins.jpg I have tagged Image:Test_of_the_Twins.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 19:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC) Image:Second_Generation.jpg I have tagged Image:Second_Generation.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale.
