Hey

[edit]

Great job with the brief picture. I've been looking for one that had a more standard look to them. The other photo on the article is horrible and disgusting, haha. Thanks --Dan LeveilleTALK 05:18, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for creating an article about the Loch Raven Reservoir that was long awaited. Sebwite (talk) 23:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Er...

[edit]

For those of us who can't input Japanese characters, would it be possible for you to create a redirect through User:PecoPeco? Just saying, because it can get somewhat confusing. But hey, at least I didn't take it to WP:UAA right? Two One Six Five Five τ ʃ 21:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wii: Wii Remote Tech Details

[edit]

Hi ペコペコ (cool name, btw). I notice you are removing "and rotation in three axes" from the beginning of the Wii article, with your reason being that "Rotation is extrapolated from the accelerations and optical data, there are no separate sensors on board the remote dedicated to rotation". I would just like to point out that the article only mentions that it can detect rotation, not that there is any specific sensor or component that does the detection. Because of this, the part of the sentence you removed would hold true even with your argument. As a result I think it would be best to add it back into the article. -Zomic13 (talk) 04:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm...

[edit]

Hi PecoPeco - I guess? I just happened across your user entry somewhere in my watchlist. Are you confident that you are complying with username and sig policies? I'm not really sure who you are, and I'm not sure your sig is clickable in all the places it should be. Somewhat confused here, can you explain this a bit? Thanks. Franamax (talk) 08:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, I'm complying with all username policies. You're going to have to be more specific if you think I'm missing something I ought to be doing. Cheers!  --Peco! Peco!TALK 14:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It says:

Contributors are welcome to use usernames that are not spelled using the Latin alphabet, but should bear in mind that scripts of non-Latin languages (such as Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Greek or Japanese) are illegible to most contributors to the English Wikipedia. To avoid confusion and aid navigation, users with such usernames are encouraged to use Latin characters in their signature and provide a corresponding redirect to their user page.
You've done that so you're fine. George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp 20:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification Dendodge. I wasn't too worried, just curious, you've cleared it up. PecoPeco, that is a pretty cool user name, does it have any partioular significance? Franamax (talk) 22:00, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

USC water polo photo

[edit]

I moved a photo of a USC water polo player that you added to the Water polo article, and edited the caption to demonstrate information within the water polo equipment subsection. As it was originally, it is likely to become a focus for edit wars, multiple other vanity photos, etc, being added to the article. Captioned as it was, I suggest that it may be better located in an article about USC sports. - Regards, Ryanjo (talk) 14:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. I'll leave it up to you about the best location of the photo within the article. The caption change was an attempt to a) add context, and b) make the photo generic enough to apply to a general article about Water polo. Thanks for the contribution.

Request to move article Swim Briefs incomplete

[edit]

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Swim Briefs to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

  1. Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
  2. Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
  3. Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 03:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

W&M Selectivity

[edit]

I've had issues with that person for a while. S/he keeps changing so that it doesn't say "highly selective," even though it says the same thing later on in the Admissions/Selectivity section later on in the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.161.219 (talk) 20:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16

[edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

Boxer Briefs

[edit]

There was more positive comments about removing the gallery then keeping it. Also, there is no reason to show a picture of a teenager in boxer briefs bordres on child pornography. --Mjrmtg (talk) 02:54, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
