User talk:Roastytoast

Leave me a message, From now on I will respond on YOUR talk page.

IF YOU ARE HERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A WRONGLY PLACED VANDALISM TAG CLICK HERE

Some ground rules before you leave a message (Borrowed from Philippe,who shamelessly stole from Calton)

1. I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
2. This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
3. If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Wikipedia guidelines or rules, note that Wikipedia is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
4. There is no Rule 4.
5. Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
6. Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
7. Please post at the bottom of the page and "sign" your posts using the squiggly things (~~~~).
8. Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a No Smoking page.

Thank you. -- The Management

i havent vandelised anything

When i wasn't signed in you left a comment on my talk page (User talk:82.29.191.218) telling me not to vandlise. what did i vandlise. I happened to have created most of the character pages for footballers wives, wrote some of the articles. And created the navigation box at the bottom of every page. and the list of footballers' Wives episodes. and i added most of the character pictures and a few pictures on the list of episodes- User talk: Russell29

Please allow more balanced views on this page

The discussion page of this topic has had one consistent complaint: that this article is terribly biased in favor of the population doomsday school (Paul Ehrlich, Malthus). Yet for nearly two decades, the debate has changed significantly as more experts recognize that population does not cause all the dire effects attributed to it. Many of these are caused by bad governance, war, etc.

Yet this view is hardly represwented in this article. That is what I have tried to correct. For a while I noticed that the earlier additon from another poster was allowed to remain, and it at least gave an impression of balance. But lately that balance has been missing. I hope you will reconsider and allow more balanced contributions to remain.

Thank you!

Format

I agree. The stats are an idea I have for all football pages, but there needs to be something like a roster, off-season notes, regular season game notes. Anyway, just my ideas for the layout. Soxrock 17:39 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Ignore the Storm's 2007 page. I forgot where to get the table for the one on the Georgia Force 2006 and 2007 pages. The one for the Force is cleaner, easier to read, and smaller. I'll reformat the Storm's stats. So for stat tables, do the Force ones. Soxrock 17:49 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:ArenaFootballLeague-Football.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:ArenaFootballLeague-Football.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hello

Hi, I would like you to please see this link on the Arena Football League WikiProject talk page. I would like everyone to read this one and the one right after it.

Wiki Project Arena Football

I want to help with the Arena Football League project!

My brother-in-law (Kenny McEntyre) plays with the Orlando Predators and I can easily put information into his article. Almost 2 years ago, I made a fan website for him and have plenty of RELIABLE information on there.

I can also help with information on the league itself and other players because I follow AFL very closely.

Please contact me back (I guess on my page) so I can start to help.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryanq2008 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:57, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Arena Football League Newsletter - November 2008

|- |valign=top style="border:1px solid black; -moz-border-radius: 10px; background-color:#EEEEEE;"|

Project News

• It's Issue IV, whoooooo!
• I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween.

-Needs-

• Articles for the more popular and "star" players of the league need to be expanded, have citations added to them and hopefully we can get some GA's out of them.
• All articles on active players and coaches need to be updated with stats, news, and all things important. (Note: For stats it's best to use ArenaFan.)
• Also, we NEED to get things done so we can take them off of the to do list.

-New-

• Standardized roster templates have been created for ALL AFL teams.
• New tables have been added to each team article for coaches. It is broken down into six columns. Column one is for the name of the head coach. Column two is for the coachs tenure there. Column three is the coaches regular season win/loss record (ONLY while with THAT team). Column four is for the coaches post season win/loss record (ONLY while with THAT team). Column five is for the coaches most recent coaching staff (if the coach is no longer there, list the coaches last coaching staff), with years that the coaching staff members have been there, the term coaching staff ONLY applies to Offensive Coordinator (to be listed as OC), Defensive Coordinator (to be listed as DC), Special Teams Coordinator (to be listed as ST Coordinator), Fullbacks coach (to be listed as FB coach), Linebackers Coach (to be listed as LB coach), Offensive line coach (to be listed as OL coach), Defensive line coach (to be listed as DL), Wide receivers Coach (to be listed as WR coach), Defensive backs Coach (to be listed as DB coach). And coach that coaches multiple positions is to be listed as QB / FB coach, with a / between each position. Also, the list should start with Offensive Coordinator, then Defensive Coordinator. Place line break (<br>) after each coaching staff members name, and between coaching positions (should the column become wider than what looks good). Column six is for notes about the head coach during their tenure with that team only. Lastly, be sure not to make the columns too wide, if the column becomes wider than what looks good, place a line break (<br>) in the sentence/note.

Arena Football League Article Stats

• Our goal is to get the number of Stub-Class articles down to 0, in due time. The current article count is listed below, I have placed the forumla that is on the project page that is updated everytime the bot is run and it tallies up our articles and where they are and lists them as seen below, so that no one has to worry about making sure it's updated manually before the newsletter is sent out. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list is provided in the stub-class category of stub articles that need to be improved, and some should be fairly easy.

MOTDs (This space for rent)

You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 14:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
