New England portal

The Portal Barnstar
The Portal Barnstar is awarded to Wikipedians who have made significant contributions to topic portals.
Thanks for all of the work to expand and improve the New England portal, and for your efforts to improve the encyclopedia for the public. Northamerica1000(talk) 16:36, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you, I'm very glad to help. Achowat (talk) 17:12, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

BUT WHY?!

Why did you delete my beautiful work on kenny dalglish's page? He secretly managed there and you can't say he's not a massive evertonian?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by VladmirPopers (talk • contribs) 17:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Your contributions to Kenny Dalglish, Synapse, Romelu Lukaku, and Kevin Mirallas were all identified as Vandalism, per Wikipedia processes, and removed. I suggest, if you do have a desire to help improve the encyclopedia, that you cease these actions and contribute constructively. (Also, Dalglish is a Glasweigan, and grew up a Rangers fan).

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. I appreciate that you took the time to give me serious consideration as a potential administrator, and I hope to use the feedback I received to better myself as a Wikipedian, perhaps even passing a second RfA attempt at some point in the future.

Take care. =) Kurtis (talk) 14:35, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism Studies Update - August 2012

Hello, members of the Vandalism Studies Project! As some of us are quite new with the Vandalism Studies project, it would make sense for us to re-read some of the past studies, as well as studies outside the project. Please do so if you have a chance, just so we can get into the groove of things. We're planning on attempting to salvage the Obama study (or possibly simply convert it to a new Romney study), as well as hopefully begin our third study this November. If you have any ideas for Study 3, please suggest them! If you have any questions please post them on the project talk page. Thanks, and happy editing - we can't wait to begin working on the project! --Dan653 (talk) and Theopolisme :)

Brady Good Article

Hi there, It's great that you're bringing Tom Brady's article back to "Good Article" status, and I realize that the opening segment had run a little bit out of hand, but wouldn't it have been more useful to place all the records/statistics enumerated in that opening blurb into some kind of "NFL Records" category in the article, which seems to have been completely eliminated? Every other top tier quarterback seems to own such a section and to completely negate all that information seems somewhat harsh. Thanks!

P.S. I will definitely try to look up a citation for that 16 completions in a row record, although I'm fairly certain it is one (the 20/23 mark isn't, I just thought it might be notable). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pendragonrah (talk • contribs) 18:06, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Honestly, there was an "NFL Records" section, but it seems tremendously poor form. Most of the records should be mentioned in the prose for the season in which it happened, methinks. If you'd like to Be bold and recreate one within the MOS, I'd love to see it and discuss ways to properly work it into the article. Achowat (talk) 19:31, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 New England Revolution season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Danny O'Rourke (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

2012 Toronto FC season.

Achowat, do you have a bigsoccer account? I recognized your name. The discussion at Talk: 2012 Toronto FC season may interest you. I'd be interested your feedback. In particular, do you think there's a distinction between officially eliminated and mathematically eliminated. Two editors appear to believe there is, and I am somewhat confused about it. Nlsanand (talk) 00:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm the same Achowat from BigSoccer. I'll poke my head over there and see if I can make heads or tails of what they're talking about. Achowat (talk) 13:34, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Have you seen?

Wikipedia_talk:Counter-Vandalism_Unit/Academy#Inactive_instructor and Wikipedia_talk:Counter-Vandalism_Unit/Academy#Wikibreak... Dan653 (talk) 01:28, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I saw the former, but not the latter. Wikibreak? Is everything ok? Or is this like my (currently active, unfortunately) other-parts-of-life based WikiBreak? Achowat (talk) 13:07, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Honestly, its on the priavte side, but if you shoot me an email it would be great if I could talk with you, thanks. Dan653 (talk) 22:59, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Miami Marlins cap logo and Citrus Series

Why did you remove the fair-use rationale from the image page? You say it's "insufficient," but could you please explain how so, that I might perhaps fix the rationale to make it sufficient to re-add? Tom Danson (talk) 09:47, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

So, the old fair use rationale (available in this diff seems to suggest that the Marlins Cap Logo is the logo for the Citrus Series, which is just not true. The Marlins cap, as a non-free use image, cannot be used unless it meets every single one of the ten Non-free content criteria. I, personally, believe that using the Marlin's Cap Logo in Citrus Series violated NFCC#8, "Contextual significance" because it doesn't hurt readers not having the logo there (for instance, no Super Bowl article has the team's logos in it, to no detriment). I can see why you'd be a little confused, given that (for instance) Subway Series uses 4 different Cap Logos. The difference is that simple letters and geographic shapes don't reach the Threshold of originality required to copyright an image. I hope this answers your questions, but feel free to probe more if you have any other concerns. Achowat (talk) 22:22, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

CVUA

Hi Achowat. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved with Counter-Vandalism, and may still be. The Academy project has been restructured, placing responsibility for it on the trainers themselves and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is still interested in remaining as active trainers.

In future, there will be no clerking or coordination, so If you are still active and can respond to requests from students within around 48 hours, you need do nothing until a new student contacts you on your talk page. Nevertheless, if your status changes, please update your entry on the table of active trainers at the new WP:CVUA page. If you no longer have sufficient time to commit to the CV training project, that's fine, but please remove your name from the active list. While on your travels however, should you come across users who are having a hard time with their reverts, don't hesitate to send them a link to the CVUA. Thanks, and happy editing!

Re: Question concerning FPOC

Will look into it this weekend. OhanaUnitedTalk page 14:48, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Take your time. I don't mean to be a bother; I honestly just need to know if something else is expected of me. Achowat (talk) 14:51, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Portal: Nazi Germany

I thought I would drop you a line to see how the portal was coming along? No rush, as we have lived a long time without it; just checking. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 01:56, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm actually on a semi-forced semi-Wikibreak. (Work is backing up, so my 9-5 is focused more on that that collecting the sum of Human Knowledge in a free encyclopedia). Pretty much no work has been done since the initial flurry. I should be able to get back to it, I dunno, in a week or so. Achowat (talk) 19:41, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
I understand. Real life (and work therein) comes first. Don't worry about the portal. Kierzek (talk) 20:46, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
