your user name[edit]

An awesome username, but watch out for the modesty patrol. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 20:28, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it is sophomoric. On the other hand, each edit should stand or fall purely on its own merits, no edit should be paid excessive deference based on who makes it. --Underpants (talk) 21:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, except here, where you're an expert. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 21:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do advice you, however, to create your userpage. Red names are unfortunately often associated with vandals/trolls. Cheers, Face 14:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delayed reply[edit]

sorry, a delayed reply to your comment is here. Cheers, AndrewGNF (talk) 16:51, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: double check[edit]

Alright, thanks for letting me know. January 2008 is a long time from now, though, and so I don't really have much concern about any of my edits from then :) Gary King (talk) 03:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hi[edit]

I love your username, and I see it's raised eyebrows before :) It's a great use of a double meaning and it gets people's attention. Soap ^Talk/_{Contributions} 19:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. :) --Underpants 20:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Meme[edit]

Yo dawg. We heard you liked Hulu, so we're putting Hulu on Xbox Live, so that you can cry over the state of your Xbox 360 while reading Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.228.195.207 (talk) 18:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The extended meme goes something like "yo dawg, I heard you like cars, so I put a car in your car, so you can drive while you drive". Yes, my broken Xbox sucks. Anyway, I'll reply to your email... --Underpants 20:03, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yo dawg. We heard you liked radar detection systems, so we put an AN/APR-39 on your AH-64 Apache so that you can detect threats while blowing up random targets! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.151.168.245 (talk) 14:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can contact me via private email, you know. :) Anyway, yeah, those are fuckin' awesome, I'm jealous. The aircraft associated with the AN/APR-39 are all awesome. I like the heavy-lift helicopters the most. I wonder whether the penduluming makes it harder for the pilot to keep a steady course. --Underpants 15:46, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyediting is needed[edit]

Good evening! It seems that an anonymous editor with a good eye for adding content but only a tenuous grasp of English recently worked on the marker pen page. You're a better copyeditor than me, so would you mind taking a look? Note that I don't want you to feel obligated - this is just one more thing you can do - but I doubt my abilities as I don't plan on being particularly lucid for the next few days, and waylaying random people has generally served me well. --Kiz o r 22:22, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consider me successfully waylayed.[1] (as long as it's 125.166.247.56's edits you're referring to) --Underpants 14:18, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was indeed. Kudos. --Kiz o r 07:49, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Hiren's BootCD[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Hiren's BootCD. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hiren's BootCD. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:15, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
