Re: Opeth Myspace
MySpace is an official site from the band, most other sites are not official even if they claim to be. See WP:EL, although it doesn't say anything about band external links it might give an understanding. If you look at some featured articles the only sites they have are the official and the Myspace. EX: Godsmack, Megadeth, Slayer. Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 21:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Dude, the Facebook page IS official, go to Opeth's site and you will find the link there!!!!! Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 21:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- I see what you are saying. If the site is run by the band or label it should probably be alright. You should probably archive this page, it is hard to load and it gets confused when you try to leave a message Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 21:54, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- If you want to add it you can. That was a funny message you left. Do you know who to archive properly? If not I will do it for you. Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 21:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, nevermind I see you have tons of archives, lol! Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 22:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because it's the holiday season and there are plenty of off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, and have a good New Year, --Elonka 22:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Happy new year!
And see you in 2008! :) Happy editing, --Midorihana(talk)(contribs) 23:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
RE:Opeth Facebook
I reverted your revision because that site is indeed Opeth's official Facebook. WP:EL discourages MySpaces and other such sites, but if other featured article bands have Myspace sites on their article pages (see Slayer, Godsmack, Megadeth) what prohibits a Facebook page too? I admit, there's a gap in policy there, so I brought it up at Wikipedia talk:External links. Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 22:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, and happy new year to you (just returned to the monitor after a toast with the folks), if it already is 2008 for you, that is. Ontopic: By all means. I removed it in good faith by my interpretation of WP:EL, and because it was added by a use that seemed unexperienced, and i've seen facebook links removed by established editors multiple times. Let's see what the discussion brings up. PS: This doesn't look too pretty! :-) ~ twsX · TC · Typo-Warning! ~ 23:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Still six and a half hours to New Years, though I'll be celebrating it with friends in about three. Anyway, on topic; I brought it up at the Help Desk, too, so we'll see what discussion it spawns.
- And if you think that isn't pretty you should try viewing my userspace in Internet Explorer... my userpage looks like a hurricane and tornado mated on top of it while an earthquake played a sitar or something. :P Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 23:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- I am using Kubuntu Linux, so no IE for me. :-P You should try making your overkill in design in standard-valid code, so it is displayed properly on all browsers and platforms. =) ~ twsX · TC · Typo-Warning! ~ 23:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Two hours to go! Happy New Year. Signing off until next year, Basketball110 22:06, 31 December 2007 (CST)
I put up a citation here, but it's from tower.com, a buying and selling website. It has useful information. Is it okay? Basketball110 22:38, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't know why it locked me out. I have no clue. Basketball110 22:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
How do you get the Wikiholic Test userbox? Basketball110 01:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you! Basketball110 15:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
I put up a reference twice in the same section (both supposed to be reference 3), but one is 3, and the other 4, for the same reference. Here, down in the trivia section. Basketball110 17:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
How do you lock a page for non-member editing? Basketball110 00:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

About the IGN article...
Okay, then. First, the proof: [1] It's a link to a video I uploaded to Google Video, and made it to prove the article I put there in the this page isn't plain humor or whatever: IGN. If you already knew the content in the video, then can you tell me where to put the information at? I'm dying to know... Also, I didn't change a thing, so don't worry about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom mai78101 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

tamer hosny
dude, Eftekasat was once delete as it doesnt have any references then why exactly should this page exist?! How can i bring an admin's attention to this so that one can delete it?! Eftekasat was deleted coz of this reason, i dont think its fair if those unrefernced stuff stayed too... Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 18:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh yeah...
I saw that and I said to myself: "Oh that bloody ejit getting involved in my stuff! Grr!" Shakes fist angrily... - I didn't really say that but hey... it's fun to pretend. I didn't think I had to sign seeing as I put my name at the top of the report either ways. But thanks for signing for me and the text removal! You'll make a mistake one day and then that's when I'll be in to clean up after you! :-D ScarianCall me Pat 00:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
It's been a long time my friend
Thank you for the welcome back message. I see by your edit history that you took vacation time yourself. I guess we just can't stay away. I only have time to pop in every now and then. But I would like to edit a few guitar related articles and maybe revert a vandal or two. If I can remember how. Cheers and take care! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 02:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- I am going to try and find some fun around the project and not just focus on vandal hunting. Speaking of which. Do you still monitor the vandal proof access? I downloaded the newest version but it said I wasn't authorized to use it. Do I have to start with a clean slate and get 250 edits and avoid edit wars before I can use it again? It was a good tool for fighting vandalism. Even though I want to focus elsewhere I'd still like to have my old crutches back. Who can I contact? Do I have to go and add my name to the hopefuls again? Cheers! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 02:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- That's OK. I will hunt down one of the bosses and ask for help. Thanks again and take care! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 02:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Thankyou for your rescent welcome and offer of assistance. I certainly will be in touch, as I need all the help I can get.--Jaye9 (talk) 03:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
What do you call it, then?
He wants an article merged, when it was discussed months, if not years ago that it was notable enough to keep. What else is that but a pest? This was all said in a calm, emotionless manner. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 04:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Lost My Nerve
Told you I'd be in touch. I have signed my name twice, before text and after,looks bad. Would you mind removing the signature before text starting with What do we have here? on Elvis (talk). Thankyou,thankyou very much.--Jaye9 (talk) 06:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
WP:ER archive
I think i just probably want to give it a week or so more then it can be archived. I am also going to give you a review. Simply south (talk) 11:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Unreferenced Pages
hi man, what's up?! how can i bring an admin's attention to page like this?! I want to know the thing i should add to the page, you did that to tamer's page and i had no idea what you did :S Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 14:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
AFD and voting
- Thank you - At an attempt to not be verbose in my summary, I use the literal dictionary meaning of the word which is "a formal expression of opinion or choice, either positive or negative, made by an individual or body of individuals.[2] I know that in WP:AFD it says that discussion is not a vote, but my statements will never say ‘vote’. I will take into consideration what you’ve said though and omit the word vote for the reasons that you stated. Happy New Year!--Pmedema (talk) 18:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

"Starcraft" article: A StarCraft version for NDS has been found.
If I had a question regarding an article in Wikipedia, you told me to bring the question at hand to you. So, here it is:
A new StarCraft version ported for NDS has been found. It's called StarLite. [3][4] For now, it's still at an early development, at version 0.01. I'm not sure if this should be made into a new article, or be put in the StarCraft article? Do I have to leave it alone?
