Wow. It is definitely a sock of the username guy (if you know who I'm talking about).   jj137 (talk) 01:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Whoever can fix this deserves 100 barnstars. Good luck   jj137 (talk) 01:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

GA symbols

I just happened to be in the neighborhood and I saw a GA link to 1926 World Series. I thought it was a bit strange that the link in your user talk header says "This user helped make 1926 World Series a Good Article" when I wrote that entire article and successfully submitted it for GA back in June 2007. Furthermore, I ended up reverting the three edits you made because you added unreliable sources as references. Please fix this inaccuracy at User:Milk's Favorite Cookie/F. Thanks, Nishkid64 (Make articles, not love) 02:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

User:SandyGeorgia requested for a look-through of the above article, as it is currently on FAC, and close to passing. Do you think you'd be able to give the article a look? Thanks if you can. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:48, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, scratch that. However, if you're still up for it, could you comment on another FAC of mine - Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Tropical Storm Vamei. Thanks if you can, but, again, if you can't or don't want to, no prob. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I have withdrawn your nomination at WP:FAC of Operation Igloo White. You only edited this article yesterday for the first time, the significantly principle editor according to articlestats doesn't appear to be aware of the nomination, and your previous nominations of Ron Paul and Boston Celtics indicate that this might be a third nomination that will tie up FAC reviewers in what could be more productively accomplished at peer review. If you want to work an article up to featured status, I suggest the steps at WP:FCDW/March 17, 2008 for listing at peer review and locating qualified peer reviewers will be a helpful first step.

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Green Bay Packers! We are a group of Wikipedians with one common interest, the Green Bay Packers!

There are many things you can do to help out and get yourself involved. Here is a few suggestions.

  • First visit the main page and our discussion page to see whats going on.
  • You can add {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} to talk pages of Green Bay Packers-related articles, and please assess them as well.
  • You can categorize Green Bay Packers articles into their proper categories.
  • Visit the main page and look under Tasks to see any other things that need to be done.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the project in general, feel free to leave a message on the talk page or contact User:Gonzo fan2007. Thanks for your interest in the project, and let's go out and work on those articles!

Awesome, I will definitely work on the newsletter this coming week and will let you know. The first issue may be a little different then the following issues, as there are some things that have to be said to start things out, but I will try and get the basics set up. Thanks again for your work and I look forward to improving the articles with you! « Gonzo fan2007 (talkcontribs) 23:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Cite web

Using {{cite web}} is not mandatory for GAs. All you need is consistent referencing that includes info like publisher, date, author, URL, accessdate, etc. I am an advocate for the usage of cite web in articles because I believe it makes referencing much more simplified and easier to manage. Other people have argued that the template is so intricate that it may deter new users from editing. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not love) 23:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, but on a different note, do you know of anybody who is good at copyediting? I need Effects of Hurricane Dennis in Florida copyedited, and I know that the LoCE would take months. I thought you probably know of more people around Wikipedia than I do.

Celtics Project

No problem, just make sure in the future (as I see you have done it for other projects) make sure you change the colors and wording and sometimes (what I did for the Packers project) it is better to create the subpages (/leftside /rightside) and post them to your own sandbox, and then work on them until the colors, links, etc are right. And although I will always help out where needed, I am going to have to decline the invite because I love another basketball team *cough*...Go Shaq...*cough* Lol, ill see what I can do with the Red Sox project here in a sec. « Gonzo fan2007 (talkcontribs) 21:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll hop on that either later tonight (assuming I don't have plans) or tomorrow. Btw, I just completed your AFD challenge (see my contribs). Happy Friday. --Sharkface217 03:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I started work on the newsletter thingy using your template. How does it look so far? Also, thanks for the barnstar. --Sharkface217 03:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Adopter

I am now Nothing444's adopter too. I'm glad to see him back editing again. BTW, I got a new signature!--RyRy5 talk 16:25, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Edit summary template

I issued him a edit summary notice. There is no wikipedia rule that one cannot issue a template notice to regular editor. There is no problem with a edit summary notice. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 19:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

The edit summary usage is not any rule. If one is not using edit summary, he/she is not violating any rule. This template on edit summary is not any warning, this is notice. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 19:11, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Tag & Assess 2008

We are going to be running a major drive (or two) this year. The first'll probably start in April but will not use the old lists. We'll be using a new, much improved script to generate them. Likeliest is the first drive will concentrate on ensuring that what we have is correctly warehoused. The second will be carving out new pastures. --ROGER DAVIES talk 19:16, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

You deserve to be an admin (2)

Hey Oreo, when are you going to do a RfA? I can co-nominate you or nominate you. Take your pick! Thisisborin9talk/contribs 23:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Adoption Goals

Nothing444, here. I've had 100% edit summaary usage since you'd told me to do so. Can you please udpate my goals? I love goals, and completing them makes me fell even better! Have a good day, Nothing444 23:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Administration

Nothing444 is asking to nominate me to Administration. Do you think I'm ready? I have made 1910+ edits (counting deleted ones. I have 1860+ edits without the deleted ones). I have been editing at wikipedia for 1 month and 2 days. I would like your opinion ASAP.--RyRy5 talk 23:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

You know my opinion :) Nothing444 23:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Read up on it. Nah, just kidding. ;) That is the second invitation to the Red Sox project in the past three or four days though... scary. · AndonicO Hail! 00:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

QIC nomination

Hey MFC! I just noticed your nomination at QIC on commons and just wanted to let you know that you'll have to properly sign nominations, as they are automatically processed by a (pretty dumb ;-) ) bot, and the bot needs to know the date. I added a Javascript gizmo to commons which automatically takes care of the proper sig format. Maybe you'll have to clear your browser cache... Best Dschwen 01:38, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome new Scout

Hi, and welcome to the Scouting Business! The scouts here to monitor all members of the Red Sox WikiProject. We then add any information that we find to the Scouting Report on the main page. The whole scouting business is used so everyone else can see what and how the WikiProject is doing. If you scout often and if you add numerous reports to the main page, a manager will be sure to promote you.

Looking for somewhere to start or do you have nothing to do? Here are a few things you can do:

  • Monitor member's contributions using the members list at the Scouting Office, and if you find a report, add it to the Scouting Report at the main page.
  • Invite other people to join the WikiProject by adding {{WP BOSOX INVITE}} on their talk page so that you can monitor more people.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the scouting business in general, feel free to leave a message on the Office's talk page or ask the founder of the scouting business on RyRy5's talk page.

Hello, Milk's Favorite Cookie. Do you know where you got that cool logo? Nothing444 15:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Really, the only specification is to model it after my signature. Perhaps a rainbow background with "Nothing444" in white. Please also exclude the trademark. Nothing444 15:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Please also have a picture of two swords on it. Nothing444 15:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for beings so specific, but can you make them fencing swords? Nothing444 15:29, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course it sounds good. Just like sig. That sounds great! Nothing444 15:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Oreo. Would you mind making me a logo too. I would like mine to be exactly like my signature exept without the talk link and of course I would like it bigger.--RyRy5 talk 16:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Oreo. I was just curious, what program do you use to make the logos? Nothing444 16:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks but, for the picture, I made it smaller but you spelled my name wrong in the image. You spelled it Ryry5 instead of RyRy5.--RyRy5 talk 16:57, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
By that I mean the image link, not the title.--RyRy5 talk 16:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Editing images with an external application

Can you show me how exactly you can edit images using an external application? Is there anything I have to install? - DiligentTerrier and friends 16:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Oreo!

Hey, can you create a logo for my userpage? iMatthew 2008 17:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

The colors should be the same blue-light blue pattern like my signature. Also, can the font be jokerman, again like my sig. And can you put the reflection feature on it (when the signature looks like it reflected below it). Thanks! Cheers, iMatthew 2008 17:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for signing my guestbook. I really thought that yours would be bigger than mine. So, when will you try the RFA?--RyRy5 talk 17:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, you should try soon. I bet alot of people would support you.--RyRy5 talk 17:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Help

Hello, oreo. Do you want me to help make logos for you? I have just the right thing for iMatthew. I don't want you to get to stressed with logos. Nothing444 18:33, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

AWC Newsletter

I'm thinking a section for monthly collaboration, a section for winners, a section for new challenges, and.... I'm not sure. Tips and tricks? Suggestions? Posting older challenges that haven't been taken on yet? Any ideas are welcome. --Sharkface217 20:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

And be advised, some of the WP:AWC challenges that you have sponsored have new replies. Just a heads up. --Sharkface217 21:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm just wondering if it would be expediant to have a fortnightly newsletter that contains all the new challenges. There are some weeks where 50+ challenges are added. I'm thinking we should have a major monthly collaboration. --Sharkface217 02:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

A request

Hey MFC, I was wondering if I could put in a request for a header, such as Image:Ryry5logo.png.

Thanks! « Gonzo fan2007 (talkcontribs) 19:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Well let me see, basically if you could base it off my signature that would be fine: example: « Gonzo fan2007 » and Ill trust your good judgment for the rest.
