[edit] Virginia FAC

Kubigula, I think Virginia is about ready for a Feature Article try. I am wondering if you see anything that might be problematic in the article, and if you'll be around in the next few weeks to help out, as you did for the Good Article try.--Patrick Ѻ 19:35, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I think those are the choices. I don't think the user is saying we shouldn't uses those, just asking why those. Anyway, I'm trying to find some replacements where I can.--Patrick Ѻ 20:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Yea, bummer. But it was doomed. If we don't get a support in the first three comments, then no one would be likely to support it. It's kind of a crapshoot, and there were some very picky reasons, like image sandwiching, and specifying private insurance. One thing that I blame myself for is forgetting to criticize our subject in the lead. FAC reviewers, in my experience, look for criticism. Also disappointing was the many things in Minnesota and Oklahoma that were problematic only for Virginia, like those sources, and the USA map that is used for all states. Oh well, I think I'll take a break for a while.--Patrick Ѻ 10:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the vandalism revert

It seems I am not popular with big-mouthed anons and small-minded socks. :) Your help is appreciated. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 04:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UM IP Vandals

There's a discussion of the UM IP vandals that you have been involved with (and vandalized this page) at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#University_System_of_Maryland_IP_vandals Toddst1 (talk) 00:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I Was The Vandal

User:Kubigula - Please forgive my childishness in vandalizing your talk page. I was the anon IP user that kept blanking your page in a "test" to see how admins would react. You can read about the full undertaking here. Again, I meant you no personal harm or displeasure. Thanks. -- VegitaU (talk) 01:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 71.99.

Wanna keep an eye on him if it gets too out of hand? Current one is 71.99.135.115. He appears to be edit warring and making personal attacks again. I won't be online for much longer and I don't wanta come back in the morning discovering that all my edits have been undone by him. So can you please keep watching and block after next move? The Dominator (talk) 04:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 137.89.205.146

137.89.205.146 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) needs admin attention, thx. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, done :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Vandalism

I have removed vandalism from your main page. It sees anonymous IP addresses are attracted to your user page. :) // A Raider Like Indiana 19:53, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jason Sklaver

Thanks for making my deletion reason a bit more clear. Pinkadelica 03:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] yo

please go away , I feel uncomfortable being stalked by you Iamtheultimatenoob (talk) 02:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

That is true with the first edit, however the second one was an honest mistake. I know you love me though. It's natural. Iamtheultimatenoob (talk) 03:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Because the articles were related. Iamtheultimatenoob (talk) 15:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image for deletion

Hi, I added the speedy deletion tag to Image:Stephen Daly.jpg because it had been specifically uploaded for the now deleted article Stephen Daly. Images are an area of Wikipedia with which I am reasonably unfamiliar, so perhaps you wouldn't mind assisting me. What is an appropriate template to use for images that are used in articles which are subsequently deleted?

The image is not currently used in any article, as you will see if you check for what links to the image. Thanks in advance. LittleOldMe (talk) 12:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that answers my questions. Thank you very much for taking the time to educate me. Regards LittleOldMe (talk) 14:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 02:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ned Kelly

Thanks for that I was getting lost between the vndlsms- your help is appreicated Satu Suro 04:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Thanks - yeah I think a group of school kids might pick on it - our other delights are deserts of australia - they seem popular at the mo :( thanks again Satu Suro 04:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC) My favourite for today is however http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Great_Southern_Railway_%28Western_Australia%29 someone has gone into a net cafe and stumbled through google obviously and left the message - not realising its a wikipedia talk page of a service that hasnt had a passenger for over 20 years at least :( Satu Suro 04:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Nah - its a recent derrailment of the Great Southern Railway who do the passenger services across the Nullarbor - hasnt bothered to see the Western Australian qualifier in the title - we all do it i suppose - sigh :( Satu Suro 04:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] not sure what you mean.

[edit] Thanks for help with U1 subpage deletion

Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions|Guest)} has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and happy editing!

Hey Kubigula, just wanted to stop by and say thanks for helping me delete those old subpages (thats what the smile is for). Anyway, I don't want to distract you from your adminstrative duties so I'll keep this short and just say "thanks".--Sunny910910 ^{(talk|Contributions|Guest)} 01:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

You may want to be careful. [1] Later. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User_talk:AbuBaydat

You posted an indefinite block message on AbuBaydat's talk page (thanks, btw), but the log here doesn't show a block listed. Is the log not supposed to record indef blocks? Thanks, Aylad ['ɑɪlæd] 20:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, I figured it out. The log would have shown any blocks AbuBaydat placed, not those placed on him/her. Sorry! Aylad ['ɑɪlæd] 21:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you - I am SLOWLY figuring things out. At least I figured out how to write you back. lol. I understand the you tube controversy - I finally figured it out when I read a little in depth. The video is great for Clint's Wikipedia page though {it's him reading some of his own material for a gallery display - and a big one to boot} - if I host it to another server is there a way to link or list it on his wikipedia page? Thanks!Tallulah13 (talk) 05:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey! You rejected my Speedy Deletion...

...for the recently created article Chad Perrone -- and I wanted to say that you were correct! I reviewed your comments and re-reviewed the context of the article, and you were 100% right. I just wanted to thank you for doing a great job and for making this fine catch. Be well! Ecoleetage (talk) 12:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, tell ya what. For the sake of academic curiosity, I will submit it to AfD and see if it stands there for the full debate. And I am glad that you got a smile from my message. Here's another smile for you:

Hey, good to see your input in the AfD for Chad Perrone. How do you think it will wind up? I suspect people will follow your lead and opt for redirect. Hope all is well. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 12:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:ShadowOps

You've already warned him about vandalism, he's up to more tricks with the AT4 article, constantly changing the caliber to 83 mm and reverting the corrections by other editors. GMan552 (talk) 02:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Thanks for your note, Kubigula. The reason I like to keep copies of animal rights-related images is that in the past they've been deleted from the Commons, even when they're PD and once even with an OTRS ticket. It's a subject that can trigger strong feelings, which is perhaps why it happens. For that reason, from then on, I have requested that local copies be kept of images that I know are being used in articles. Best, SlimVirgin ^talk|edits 04:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ken Jeong on theStream dot TV.jpg

Could you add a tag with the OTRS ticket number to the page? Hippo (talk) 03:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion of block notice

Hi Kubigula, a page protect might be warranted here: [2]. Cheers, JNW (talk) 05:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I sometimes have slim patience for those who vandalize without repentance, then seek to expunge the evidence of their disruptions. I am glad that administrators can view such histories, regardless. Many thanks again, JNW (talk) 18:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
