Thanks for cleaning that up. That's why my current username appeared in red, because of that deal that said CURRENT next to it. I'll make sure for future references, that I take that off, if I use that, once I put the name in. --[[User:Joey Kaminski|Joey Kaminski]] ([[User talk:Joey Kaminski|talk]]) 19:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

== My name was stolen! ==

Richard0612, in regard to my username change request (to Himatsu Bushi) that I entered this morning, you noted that the name already exists. I can assure you I carefully checked the user list beforehand, and it did not exist at the time! The only thing I can think is that some mischievous person looking at the change request list picked someone at random and registered their desired username just so they wouldn't get it. I see that person has already gone ahead and made an edit. If you check the records, I'm sure you'll find that the name was registered '''after''' my change request was entered (probably soon thereafter). Does this not give me the right to usurp the name back from the person who stole it? If not, it really should be so. It's not right to let people steal other people's names just for cheap thrills. Thanks for your help in resolving this. [[User:Djiann|Djiann]] ([[User talk:Djiann|talk]]) 00:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Lyneham High School, ACT

Anonymous edits have made a mess of the article. I'll try not to avoid stepping on your toes as I fix vandalism as well. --CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 13:45, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

lil' help?

I happened to notice your talktop in the MfD and I quite liked it so I decided to repatriate it for myself (hope that's ok). However I would just prefer it to be a header rather than entire theme for my talk page...Not sure how I can accomplish this. Could you either let me know how or feel free to make the changes directly (User:Xenocidic/Talkheader) - Thanks! xenocidic (talk) 13:22, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hrm looks like we were able to figure it out - thanks for the cool header =). xenocidic (talk) 20:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again =) xenocidic (talk) 21:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Luz A Salento Foundation

Hello, Could you e-mail me the last version of this article. I am not sure why you deleted. I was working on it. I save the version and then went to erased the Spanish parts. When I went to sleep the article was totally in English and looking good. This morning the article was gone. Could you help? I am the autor of the original article in Spanish too. If you need to reserch that info, please look for "Fundación Luz A Salento" in the Spanish Wikipedia - autor Clemen Wilcox. Thanks! TGIF

Speedies

I saw Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NuneGa. This may not fit exactly into an existing speedy deletion criteria, but don't be afraid to just use something like {{db|Plain English reason for deletion}} in cases like this. There's no real need to use AFD for obvious cases like this one. Friday (talk) 19:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drinking templates

If the chemical formula on the page User:Richard0612/Userbox Archive/User Philosophies is meant to refer to Ethanol it should be C2H5OH not C2H6OH. Apologies if I'm mistaken or if this has already been brought to your attention. Guest9999 (talk) 04:06, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your VandalProof Application

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Richard0612. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. βcommand 04:28, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need a valid CSD to delete: what's wrong with it? - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hey, I was just wondering if, when you nominate a redirect for deletion, you could put the {{rfd}} template on a separate line to the redirect itself, i.e., like this. I know, it seems incredibly trivial, but Schutz's list of short pages lists RFD candidates if they're not formatted in a particular way for some reason. I should probably get him to fix that. Anyway, thanks if you can. --Closedmouth (talk) 15:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, you've done it a few times recently, which is why I made the comment, but it's no big deal, it's just a convenience thing. Thanks :) --Closedmouth (talk) 15:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image CSD

You might want to speak to User:MER-C - they've done a lot of work listing PDFs for deletion. Hut 8.5 17:49, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Pcf plot9.xls

well, I never understand such deletions. my images to me are always relevent, this one appears in comment on the Talk page of the Prime Counting Function article. I think it is very useful to anyone with interest in the subject/function but I typically don't battle other users ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billymac00 (talkcontribs) 17:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{badpdf}}

I have done some changes to the BadPDF template you should note. It has been changed to {{badformat}}, which is used to tag images in non-image formats that could be better expressed as plain text. BadPDF still redirects to the new one for backwards compatibility. ViperSnake151 00:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your sig

Just wanted to let you know that your signature comes off as very hard to read. I just noticed it over on RfA talk. It is so small that it kind of hurts my eyes to read the time stamp. You might want to enlarge it just a tad to make it consistent with other sig font sizes. Gwynand | TalkContribs 17:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Either of the new sigs you have will work. It was just a size thing... my eyes were straining to read it. Now it looks good. Thanks. Gwynand | TalkContribs 01:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Orphaned pdf file. Seems to be an article written in Hebrew. No foreseeable encyclopedic use. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 18:13, May 6, 2008 (UTC)
There is a link to it at Moroccan citron, it is essencial for that article. Since it is a pdf, which cannot be viewed only linked, this is the only way how to link to it. If you find another way to link to it you may correct, but not delete, please.

Shoteh (talk) 16:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is by a high esteemed professor and horticulturist, which is written in Hebrew because the most interested in citron studies are the Hebrew speaking Jews. But when one wants to know anything about the citron which was the ancestor of all the cultivated types he would have no access to it. The English Wikipedia is the first to provide such infomation of which part of it is gathered from Hebrew sources, and was later cited by many other authors and websites. By deleting such a pdf, which is a very important and interesting article, you are decreasing the usefullness of the English Wikipedia, and banging the door for the citrus industry in Wikipedia. Dont do such an evil.

"On drama" quote

I'm flattered - thanks for letting me know. I do take some issue with your "grammatical correction", though. I believe that the word "which" is generally used to refer back to something within the same sentence. If you want to hive it off with a colon, I think "the foremost of these", rather than "the foremost of which" would be the correct wording. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 19:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

please don't bite the newbies

Hi, you templated a user because they'd created an article about a non-notable band. Please could you add a welcome template as well if you do this in future? The user's first response on their talk page was a big template telling them that their content was about to be deleted, that's a bit unwelcoming, no? Dan Beale-Cocks 16:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to throw a second opinion in here. I don't consider this bitey, particularly. Welcome templates may usually be a good idea also, but I wouldn't call it wrong to not leave one. Really, depending on the kind of inappropriate content they posted, sometimes we may not want to welcome them. Egregiously bad content is not welcome here at all, and we shouldn't give people the false impression that it is. Friday (talk) 16:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
