Hello

[edit] Camels and Ostriches in the Black Forest?

Where did that come from? "Everything is possible in the Black Forest".

Just curious, since someone asked.

[edit] An Invite to join Novels WikiProject

Hi, you are cordially invited to join the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels". We make no length distinction so all narrative prose fiction is of interest. This includes Novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories. Articles about the works themselves and the forms and genres.

As you have shown an interest in Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (novel) we thought you might like to take an interest in this well established WikiProject.

We look forward to welcoming you to the project! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:31, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moving Agent Pendergast

Hi Frog47,

I noticed that you created the Aloysius Pendergast article and moved the content from Agent Pendergast there. This was a great idea and I wanted to thank you for it. However, I also wanted to recommend using the "move" feature (one of the tabs at the top of most articles) in the future. The nice part about the "move" feature is that it does everything you did manually, but also moves the page's history, talk page, and talk history. That's useful information to have associated with the main article, and unfortunately it doesn't get transferred if done manually. MaxVeers 18:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Barbie Mariposa

I have nominated Barbie Mariposa, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barbie Mariposa. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

[edit] UFC 84

A discussion is happening right now on the fate of UFC 84. Because the outcome of this discussion could affect other MMA event pages and how/when they are created, your input would be greatly appreciated. The discussion is happening here. Thank you for your assistance! Gromlakh (talk) 17:43, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quick request

In the future, if you could use {{Film}} instead of {{FilmsWikiProject}}, I'd be very grateful. Although the latter one automatically redirects to the former, it has been deprecated, and we're trying to phase out its usage as task force tagging slowly occurs over the next year or so. Knowing that it's not being added to new articles would put me greatly at ease. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
