- I'd completely forgotten about that. I had a look round a while back and wasn't able to find any mroe reasonable sourcing to describe each of the elements in depth. As a result I've removed it from my userspace. Thanks for the prod, I appreciate it. Gazimoff 23:38, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
thank you
| My RFA passed today at 150/48/6. I wanted to thank you for weighing in, and I wanted to let you know I appreciated all of the comments, advice, criticism, and seriously took it all to heart this past week. I'll do my absolute best to not let any of you down with the incredible trust given me today. rootology (C)(T) 08:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC) |  |

RfA thanks
Thank you for your comments on my RfA (which passed 70/7/3). I do take your concerns about my experience seriously, and even partly agree with them, and can assure you that I will act with due circumspection on all matters administrative while I figure things out. Thanks! --Regent's Park (Rose Garden) 00:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- No problem. Just to reiterate, I have no problem with your conduct or behaviour, and I'm sure you'll do well. I did feel though that you would have benefited from further experience in the AfD arena. I'm sure you'll tread with care though, and wish you the best of luck with the mop. Many thanks, Gazimoff 23:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

RiskFactorsfor AdolescentProblemBehavior with Depression.pdf
Hello, I understand that you deleted the above mentioned file which had been tagged for speedy deletion because it apparently had no encyclopedic value.
I had entered a message on that file's talk page explaining that it is an essential part of the article, Communities that Care Promotes Positive Youth Development. It is a graphic which helps to illustrate the relationship between risk factors and several youth problem behaviors. It illustrates in a single graphic what reams of scientific, peer-reviewed articles tell us. It's value is similar to that of a picture of a famous person - it helps the reader appreciate the information in a visual way.
If your problem with the file is that it is a .pdf rather than some other file format, please let me know and I will have it changed.
I am an inexperienced Wikipedia user and may have stumbled in my attempt to address this issue. Please advise on next steps.
Many thanks, Preventionbetterthancure (talk) 22:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- The main problem is the article being a PDF, rather than an image (as done so here). It's also preferable to use table format to store tables in-line with the text, as this means that they can then be read by a multitude of devices (Wikipedia also aims to be readable on mobile and portable devices). You can find more information on tables [[1]]. By using the inline table format, you can also use inline citations to show where the data is sourced from. Hope all this helps, although feel free to ask if anything is unclear. Many thanks, Gazimoff 23:09, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Oh! So it appears that the graphic currently in the article is in the correct format, although it might be better to use table format. I will look into that option. Thanks for your explanation! Preventionbetterthancure (talk) 00:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

re:Your RFA
Alas, it was a rather spontaneous affair, I wasn't expecting it when the day started. I don't suppose you'd want to try getting The Orange Box through FAC in the next few months? Third time's a charm! I'm currently involved with Sam & Max: Freelance Police at FAC, once that's closed, I'll be able to work on it. Its been a long while since the last attempt, we should be able to come to it with a nice fresh perspective. -- Sabre (talk) 23:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- Sure, that sounds like a plan. Drop me a note when you're ready. Things are going through a bit of a crunch at work, and I'm doing some miscelleneous bits and bos round here to keep things ticking over, but it'll be great to get that one in the can finally. Gazimoff 00:08, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- If you guys begin work on The Orange Box, then let me know, and I will get Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Team Fortress 2 to FA. Gary King (talk) 03:16, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Request for peer review
I saw you in peer review/volunteers, so I don't know if you can help me to review at a tennis biography? It is Mario Ančić. I just need some input from somebody, or you know someone who's better qualify for this. Thanks! --Göran S (talk) 23:48, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks and a request
Thanks for signing up at Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers and for your work doing reviews. It is now just over a year since the last peer review was archived with no repsonse after 14 (or more) days, something we all can be proud of. There is a new Peer review user box to track the backlog (peer reviews at least 4 days old with no substantial response), which can be found here. To include it on your user or talk page, please add {{Wikipedia:Peer review/PRbox}} . Thanks again, and keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:33, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
