Hey LAA

If you are going to get into using anti-vandal scripts I suggest Twinkle. This is the script I use and I find it the most effective. If you used it I would be able to help you better as your adopter. If you're interested, I could give you the codes for some other useful scripts too. See you around! DarkZorro 19:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

You can get MiszaBot to archive it for you, but manually is easy too. I'll archive from here for you at User talk:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan/Archive1 when you settle down, we can start on T-Dubya (as I call Twinkle).

Honest opinion (answer whenever), which one DarkZorro or DarkZorro is better? (or something else) DarkZorro 00:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in. WP:FA status means that an article passed it’s FA nomination and it could possibly appear on the mainpage. A WP:GA is an article that passes WP:GAN. Basically, very decent articles that passes it’s on nomination. You should read WP:GA and WP:FA for more info. I’ll be offline now. Cheers. -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 04:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I have been studying for my HS mid-terms for the past 2 days (and will continue). FA articles will have the little star in the top right corner of the page. In case You haven't read the WP:FA page, The Fa stands for featured article, while GA stands for good article. Aiding in the promotion of an article to Fa status, looks very good on When requesting Adminship. If there is anything else please ask! Also, Great job at AWC! Wiki Zorro 17:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Nothing444 and Rickk

Alright, I'll begin.

Rickk is rumored to be the best vandal fighter who ever was to walk the wiki, as I've heard. He created the "Rick anti vandalism barnstar" and others added "RicKk" to the barnstar in honor of his work. But he is retired now. His user page is at User:RickK.

Nothing444... I've known him for quite a while. He's very enthusiastic, maybe too much. At first, he was blocked for editing his user page too much and lost his rollback rights along with it. When his block ended, he got an adopter. The adoption barely lasted a week. Nothing444 wanted to be realeased soon. Anyway, he then was hurting the encyclopedia from there. He never edited actively in the mainspace and kept on doing his own things. We were pretty close but I really started to get tired in hurting the encyclopedia. He even asked others to be adopted by him while welcoming new users, which really got me trying to stop him a bit. By the way, he was blocked at least 3 other times before all this. Anyway, the community got a hand of him and blocked him indefin, or forever. That's pretty much it. Well, I'll be busy right now. -- Ryan Cross (talk ♠ Review) 18:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the delay

I overlooked your new message under the old one for a while now. I greatly apologize.
External links provide places to gain further research and prove that the subject exists. References are direct sources of information from which an editor learned the facts put into the article. Anything else! WikiZorro 19:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

The welcome squad sounds cool! Check these edits. Every edit that says "Welcomed user using friendly" has the template on the WWS page. Click any of them and you'll see it! WikiZorro 19:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I quickly whipped up this picture for the WWS project. Tell me If you don't like it.

To put an Image in different places do this; [[Image:Wikiwelcome.jpg|thumb|right|1000px|Your caption]] you can replace "right" with left or center, 1000 with any size in pixels (px). Or without the box [[Image:Wikiwelcome.jpg|right]] which makes:

OK? (I made a MESS!) WikiZorro 22:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

MfD nomination of User:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan/Wikipedia Welcome Squad

User:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan/Wikipedia Welcome Squad, a page you created, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan/Wikipedia Welcome Squad and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan/Wikipedia Welcome Squad during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 00:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

\I've recommended deletion because, if for no other reason, it's a wholly unnecessary duplicate of Wikipedia:Welcoming committee. I think there are other reasons, to be sure, but that one is quite sufficient on its own. It's generally a good idea to search around existing projects before starting your own general-purpose projects, as most fathomable plans are already implemented. — Lomn 00:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

And what's up with the full bold on the page? It's rather irritating. — Lomn 00:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

(ec) I'm sorry, but I had to !vote 'delete. My opinions are at the MfD page. I suggest joining the Wikipedia:Welcoming Committee and to stick to what they do. I see you would like to help the community but it would be better not to have pages like the one you created. Please understand what I am saying. I am keeping my WP:COOL I am just giving you my honest opinion like you wanted me to. --RyRy5 (talk) 00:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thinking over it, I might just change my !vote to keep. I'll decide later on.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 04:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

WWS

Was Lomn's comment necessary? I think that it had nothing to do with the page. I find it "rather Irritating" when someone has to say something like that. Sorry, the moment was stressing me and I vented by saying that. All apologies- WikiZorro^sign 20:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Please read my entry at the deletion page- WikiZorro^sign 00:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I live in U.S eastern so I'm watching House! goodnight WikiZorro^sign 00:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

I've granted your request for rollback. Please see the instructions at WP:RBK for help on it's use, and please remember to only use it when you do not need to clarify you action with a more comprehensive edit summary. Any problems please ask! Pedro :  Chat  15:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:COOL

Please calm down LAA, vent your comments besides keep/delete in real-life, not on Wikipedia. Hope it helps. WikiZorro^sign 23:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I got Nk.sheridan to join WWS! WikiZorro^sign 00:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Larry Jennings cleanup

Hi, I saw the work you did on the Larry Jennings article. It still needs quite a bit of work before it complies to Wikipedia standards. If you could join up the sentences into logical paragraphs, I would consider that sufficient cleanup to deserve a barnstar. Thanks for your help, GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

		The Copyeditor's Barnstar
		In recognition of your efforts to clean up the article on Larry Jennings, I award you this barnstar. Thanks for your help! GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:Barnstar

Thanks! It's what I do. Oh, and I'm proud of your work you did here. Keep it up. --RyRy5 (talk ♠ copy-edit) 23:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

GREAT JOB! What you have done really proves your well rounded, accomplished editor! WikiZorro^sign 23:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

P.S 1 more comment and I'll archive your page again!

People who create projects on wikipedia deserve barnstars. Can you think of one? WikiZorro^sign 23:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC) P.S I'll do the links for your talk page then.

Just to let you know, WWS isn't a wikiproject. Can you clarify your comment WikiZorro? --RyRy5 (talk ♠ copy-edit) 23:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Your welocme. Also, I left you a message at WikiZorros's talk page.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ copy-edit) 00:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, is that more? That tasted very nice! Thanks. :) KTC (talk) 17:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Is that like a barnstar?

Well, is it? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 17:16, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you failed to notice the word "like" in my question, because I wasn't asking if it's a barnstar. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
