[edit] Worm day
May I ask how it's not necessarily nonsense? I have looked and can find no proof that such a day exists. -WarthogDemon 18:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Decided to put it up for AfD, since it was prodded but then removed. Thanks for the info. May I ask where to look for notability of holidays? Just want to educate myself. :) -WarthogDemon 18:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Arkansas Governors
Hello LtPowers. The article Bob C. Riley would suggest that Tucker & Huckabee were 'Acting Governors of Arkansas' 1992-95 & 1996-99 respectively (like the Massachusetts setup). GoodDay (talk) 23:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Help with user
I have been having trouble with User: Matt Yeager and have realized after viewing his talk page that many, many, users have been bothered by him and that he has made many important changes without reaching a consensus. He has also created articles that are not notable about things like schools around where he lives, and has even created a useless template named after him. I seriously think he needs to be blocked. How do I help make this happen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by QuirkyAndSuch (talk • contribs) 06:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Legend of Zelda (film)
"G3: Pure vandalism. This includes blatant and obvious hoaxes and misinformation, and redirects created by cleanup from page-move vandalism." Since it was an obvious hoax, that applies. --Golbez (talk) 17:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe, but in that case I merely accelerated its deletion for being completely non-notable. :P Maybe if it got massive press, but it is only April 2. Not enough time. --Golbez (talk) 17:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Blong
Gonged out. Look at the pretty snow! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 13:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/International Churches of Christ
This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. TransylvanianKarl is urged to refrain from editing International Churches of Christ and any related pages until he has fully familiarized himself with the English Wikipedia core policies. TransylvanianKarl is also urged to raise issues and suggestions on the talkpage before making potentially controversial edits to articles, including deletion of cited material and citations.

[edit] Perverted-Justice Article
Sorry to bother you, but I think that Vagr4nt is getting a bit out of control with his attacks on me and my motivations [1]. If you see the dates, no one responded to the edit proposals I made for a few days, so I did what I thought was the rule on this site - be bold. I can accept and understand if people think that the edits are a bad idea, but I was a bit insulted at the attacks on my motivations, and plus, Vagrant seemed to think that other invested users should be brought into the proposed changes, [2], so I figured you should know as well. FrederickTG (talk) 03:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's been a while with no further comment on the subject - how do you suggest I procede on this matter? FrederickTG (talk) 22:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Artemis Eternal
Thanks for supporting the article, I was confused why it was tagged in the first place. I'll be adding more information as time goes on. Thanks again. --Alreajk (Talk)
[edit] RE ECAC West
I forget where I got those original numbers but I rechecked Neumann and Elmira on USCHO.com and I think I mixed those two schools up Neumann has had hockey since 98 and joined ECAC West in 2001 and Elmira has had hockey since the 1970s... I fixed those dates on the ECAC W wikipedia article, I'm heading out to hockey practice now but later today I will double check all of the other teams' dates as well! Bhockey10 (talk) 16:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for stepping in to help out at Gigi_Mon_Mathew. I wasn't sure if I should have re-added the prod template! :) --vi5in[talk] 20:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, I was wondering about that - it said that once removed, it shouldn't be added. I'll try to look for more info and improve the article. I can't find anything, I'll afd it. --vi5in[talk] 20:58, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dustin Camp
Hi, you NPOV'd the Dustin Camp article but didn't verbalize any issues on the talk page. Please explain the NPOV issues so they may be addressed. Greg Comlish (talk) 21:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Edit summaries
Yeah, I'm not always good at including edit summaries - sometimes I do so if I feel my edit needs to be explained. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Belin/Bilen
I don't understand why you have put back Bilen into the Belin dab page. It does not seem to belong. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Misspellings, this should be only done if there is a genuine risk of confusion. I am not convinced that this is the case here. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
We don't need to do anything. I am content to wait until someone else stumbles across this. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:42, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Amuri, New Zealand
Hi, Lieutenant - you wrote: The Cook Islands don't seem to be part of any of the NewZealand-geo subcategories.
There's a good reason for that. The Cook Islands haven't been part of New Zealand since 1973 :) They have their own template at {{Cooks-geo-stub}}. Grutness...wha? 02:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

| For all of your recent hard work with stub sorting so many articles, I, JamieS93, give you this barnstar. You've done a lot of great work and deserve this award! --JamieS93 21:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC) |
[edit] Conclusion: Image placeholders centralized discussion
Hi. I'm sending this to you because you participated in the Centralized discussion on image placeholders that ended on 23 April.
That discussion must produce a conclusion.
We originally asked "Should the addition of this box [example right] be allowed? Does the placeholder system and graphic image need to be improved to satisfy policies and guidelines for inclusion? Is it appropriate to some kinds of biographies, but not to others?" (See introduction).
Conclusions to centralized discussions are either marked as 'policy', 'guideline', 'endorsed', 'rejected', 'no consensus', or 'no change' etc. We should now decide for this discussion.
Please read and approve or disapprove the section here: Conclusion --Kleinzach (talk) 11:21, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Please note this message conforms to WP:CANVASSING and has not been sent to anyone has not already participated in the centralized discussion.
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 03:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Ards Peninsula abbeys
Hi - thanks for the message. How do I know it's freely licensed? Because I'm a sad, bored person with nothing to do but dig through Microsoft's legal stuff. ;-)
Okay - the source URL is from MSN Groups, at http://groups.msn.com/ballyhalbert/thenormaninvasion.msnw . At the bottom, it says, "© 2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved." I was sure that meant the entire thing was copyrighted by Microsoft, but I pressed on to see for myself.
The next word is 'Legal', which is a hyperlink to http://help.live.com/help.aspx?project=tou&mkt=en-us, Microsoft's service agreement. The first paragraph of the agreement states that this license is applicable to "...any Windows Live, Live Search, MSN, Microsoft Office Online, Microsoft Office Live or other Microsoft software or services, including updates, that display or link to this contract and that you use while this contract is in force."
Scroll down to section 9, titled 'Your Materials', where you will find this text (emphasis and a comma added)
... Except for material that we (Microsoft) license to you, we do not claim ownership of the materials you post or provide on the service. However, with respect to content you post or provide, you grant (to the public) free, unlimited, worldwide, nonexclusive and perpetual permission to use, modify, copy, distribute and display the content in connection with the service, publish your name in connection with the content; and grant these rights to others.
A little farther down, there's this:
You represent and warrant that you have all the rights necessary for you to grant the rights in this section 9 and that the use and publication of the content does not breach any law.
The first time I read it I thought it said Microsoft acknowledged his ownership of the text but took the licensing right for themselves, but that's not true. The copyright symbol is for the MSN Groups software and web design, not for the author's content. Anything the author publishes on the site is available for use, copying, modification, distribution, and display. We don't have to attribute it, but we can. It's not the text of the GFDL, but it's a free license.
I was surprised, to say the least, but there it is in black and white. It's a good thing it's not an image because then I'd have to dig through the thousands of image tags to find one that fits. ;-) Let me know if you have questions or need help. Thanks - KrakatoaKatie 03:04, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Klettur
Note my comment here. Klettur is legit, I've talked to him on the telephone. He's not the artist but he's his son. I asked them about the licenses and they clearly understand how free licenses work and are comfortable with releasing selected works under them. Some of these images are quite valuable, including the only image we have of Halldór Laxness. I've written Klettur a note asking him to get in contact with OTRS. If I don't get any response on that (he may not watch the talk page) I may give him a call. Haukur (talk) 00:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] I'm not sure what you mean by standard threading
Whatever it is, can you find any examples of it on WT:MOS or any of its archives? - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 23:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] I-390 issue
I noticed that you may have deleted some info on accident as you edited I-390 page. Note To Ltpowers: Please don't save the page if you have accidently deletd info please use cut and paste method if needed. Thanks. If need to reply please put a new section with the headline:
Re: I-390 issue
on your talk page and post a document or post on my talk noting about I-390 page.

[edit] My username
I hate my user name and would love to change it. My only concern is I want to keep my edit history and watchlist. Is it possible to change the name but keep all the history? -Philatio (talk) 21:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
