My round

Have a beer on me.

Let the amber nectar flow all day and night. Let it run down the mountains and through the caverns and across the rich lawns to swamp the streets. Let it rain beer. Let the heavens open and shine forth beer. Let it all be beer. Wonderful beer. And let it be as deep as the heart of a lion.


This is an acknowledgment of your participation in the RfA of: SilkTork *YES! 19:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in my RfA

I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for taking the time and effort to participate in my recent RfA. As you may know, the discussion closed 66/0/1 and I'm now a holder of the mop. I will keep working to improve the encyclopedia and appreciate the trust which you have placed in me. - Dravecky (talk) 22:58, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching

It's been a while since my admin coaching page was updated - have you given up on me?

If you want to end the coaching that's fine - if you want to carry on that's fine too - in fact, I don't mind if you keep me waiting for another month or 2, but I just want to know where we're at.

License tagging for Image:Handball_stub.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:Handball_stub.svg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Wikicup, admin coaching

Hey Garden!

If it's all right with you, I discovered the Wikicup and immediately fell in love with it. I'm not sure I would be able to compete well enought quite yet, but I would love to join the Wikicup team!

Also, I just graduated from adoption, but my adopter did not want to do admin coaching, so could you possibly be my admin coach?

One last think I decided to ask is: How do you get that header to appear when you click "new section", but not on your talk page. Just curious.

Thanks! Jock Boy (t/c) Sign 00:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

AfC news

Dear AfC participant,

  1. Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
  2. Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
  3. Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
  4. There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you. 15:18, 12 December 2008

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba (talk) 15:54, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Football/Scottish task force

As you were the person who created/deleted the Scottish Football WikiProject before, do you think this is a good idea? It's just many Scottish Football articles need expanding and this seems like the best way - 2o-DeMoN-o8t*c*a*wp 16:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Teeny request

Hi, can you add the source data for File:Sunderland AFC League positions.jpg like I did in File:Safcattendances.JPG. I'm asking as I don't have them on my computer, anyway... cheers, and where have you been lately. :p Sunderland06 (talk) 18:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

If you, you could just send my the information in an email attachment or something like that, as I know you're bust lately. Tah. Sunderland06 (talk) 19:25, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Nifty little counter you have there. :) –Juliancolton Happy Holidays 20:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Merry Christmas, Fox/December 2008! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Best regards from myself! -- Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) 09:41, 23 December 2008 (UTC) (Merry Christmas!)
Post this merry message on any other user talk page you can find.

WBOSITG, whilst I don't have a big fancy template like that, I do have the ability to draw a pair of funny shaped breasts eyes on your user talk page using my keyboard: (o)(o) - Have a great Christmas, friend! ScarianCall me Pat! 12:51, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Deletion

what part of W.D. Gann was in copyright violation? If the whole article wasn't, could the section that was be deleted or be modified? 75.91.169.43 (talk) 20:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, you are a good administrator. Rare, I think 75.91.169.43 (talk) 00:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

He is clearly not here in good faith, nor does he even have good intentions.

To see why he is harrassing me, see this and this. J.delanoygabsadds 23:10, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!
Fox, here's hoping you're having a wonderful Christmas, and here's also hoping that all your family and friends are well. Lets all hope that the year coming will be a good one! If we've had disputes in the past, I hold no grudges, especially at such a time as this. If you don't know I am, I apologise, feel free to remove this from your page.
Come and say hi, I won't bite, I swear! It could even be good for me, you know - I'm feeling a little down at the moment with all of these snowmen giving me the cold shoulder :(

WikiCup

Hey, if a space opens up between now and the start could you leave me a message on my talk page as I'd love to participate. Thanks and Merry Christmas!--Iamawesome800 01:50, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

I have two accounts, User:Neurolysis and User:Neurolysis-Auto, what would you recommend? neuro(talk) 12:17, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Well actually I meant "could I group them together"? It just seems that I am at an unfair disadvantage (not to be snooty :P) neuro(talk) 23:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
I don't, when I do automated work I do it solidly, I sort of have time slots if you like. :) neuro(talk) 23:08, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Why thankyou, sire! neuro(talk) 23:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
I'll merge my edits, then, if that's ok with you. :) neuro(talk) 14:16, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm more of an AWBer now, but yes, Huggle is dangerous. Shame it doesn't sound it. neuro(talk) 14:21, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Disregard that last, after a good think I think it is more important that people in any future situation where they need to review my contributions can do so unimpeded by automation. I'll still participate, but I am prepared to be a first round loss ;) neuro(talk) 10:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

WikiCup questions

Hi, couple of quick queries. Does work that was submitted for featured candidacy (or DYK etc.) in late 2008 if it doesn't get promoted until 2009? And does featured work on sister project such as Commons count? Thanks very much for running this and best wishes. :) DurovaCharge! 02:40, 29 December 2008
