[edit] Thank You

I'm not sure how to do this otherwise...but thank you for the note on the Frontier League. I'm slowly trying to expand the current team bios, redirecting defunct team pages to their current team locations, etc. Any help or advice you have is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for writing the article on the Battle of Chávez Ravine.--Rockero 16:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

¡De nada! - Quartermaster 14:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wigwam Motel

Thanks for your article on the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook! It's a neat place that really deserved a good article that explains some of the history. --Nebular110 15:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka

Thank you very much for your support in my RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful, but I still plan to continue with my strong support of the Wikipedia project. Thanks again! --Elonka 07:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elonka Dunin Change - why not just DO IT rather than delete questioned passage?

See [1]

Google search order doesn't indicate "popularity" in the way this sentence is claiming. Be more specific saying it comes up first in a Google search if you want

I'm mystified as to why you didn't just edit the more correct indication of Google "popularity" as you addressed (and I agree) rather than just delete the reference of "popularity"? Go ahead and do what you propose ("turns up first in Google search") rather than object and delete. Wikipedia allows users to make changes directly. If you don't like something, why not just change it? - Quartermaster 16:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Because, phrased that way, I don't personally find it interesting enough to even warrant inclusion. But if you want to add an uninteresting fact to the article, feel free. De-mystified now? —Wknight94 (talk) 17:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

(clarification) Wknight94 (and his pal Ned Scott (talk · contribs)) has been stalking me recently, making little sniping edits like this to a variety of articles that are related to me. Diffs and documentation are at User_talk:Elonka#Stalking. My guess is that Wknight is angry that I called him out in a Naming conventions discussion, where he was talking about using his admin tools to push his own POV, and I pointed out that that would be unethical. I also repeated back to him his own statement from his RfA, where he himself said that it would be improper for admins to use their tools on articles that they were involved with. It evidently "stung" him, so he's now got it twisted around his head somehow that my reading of his RfA is "stalking" him, and he's responding by stalking through my own contrib history and other articles related to me. There's also an indication that he's trying to stick me into a Catch-22: He's making challenging edits to Elonka-related articles, but if I make any changes, even if just to add a source, I'll get pounced on for WP:AUTO violations. Wknight, I agree with Quartermaster. If you want a change made, do it. If you want a reference on something related to me, ask me for it. I'll give it to you, you can add it to the article in any way that you want, and life goes on. Stop with the harassment. --Elonka 18:50, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Your notions of "stalking" and "harassment" and sticking you into a Catch-22 are getting boring. I don't care nearly enough. I also don't care about your WP:AUTO activity - although I see that's gotten the attention of folks like Danny (talk · contribs) at the Foundation. Go ahead and AUTO away for all I care. You should both admit here though that my removal of the content at question is completely justified. If you don't like how I came across it, that's the unfortunate price of making yourself so conspicuous. But having a statement that gaudy immediately followed by a citation which has no relationship to the statement itself is very inappropriate and should have never been added. Wikipedia 101. —Wknight94 (talk) 20:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thanks for the kind words. As far as adding information to articles, keep in mind the Wikipedia philosophy: Be bold. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 03:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Carney Park

I hope you haven't minded me tinkering with the above while you were creating the article? I'm fascinated to note that such facilities exist. Paste (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Away!

Glad you're a Carney Park-o-phile. It's an interesting place, anything you can contribute is cool. -- Quartermaster (talk) 22:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the Minor Barnstar! I appreciate that and will display it with pride! --Polylerus (talk) 20:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bibliography of Philip K. Dick

Thank you for your improvements and expansion to this article. As a librarian, we could really use your help. Please continue your good work or use the talk page to make suggestions for improvement so that others can help. Viriditas (talk) 02:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for voting Keep in my MfD poll. With your help, the debate ended with "no consensus" (although a large majority voted to "keep"). --GHcool (talk) 21:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seattle history - Thanks!

Thanks for the correction. I responded on my page but wanted to thank you here too. Interesting that redskins.com news release has made the same mistake. [[2]]. Regards, ObserverToSee (talk) 17:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UMSL WP

i've been thinking for a few weeks about starting a wikiproject for UMSL like that for the WashU project. St. Louis articles in general are pretty underdeveloped and I don't want to split the precious pool of editors that are out there. I dunno. If Wash U has one, then UMSL should too, right? Would you be interested? It is mostly nonsense, really. We can edit right now, there's no reason that fancy userboxes and project banners need to even come into play. Tell me your thoughts. DaronDierkes (talk) 10:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I've made a few working groups through the st. louis page. there's one for education. I'm just going to go through there for now. DaronDierkes (talk) 02:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

You may be interested in Category:Libraries in Greater St. Louis. I've put down a rough two sentences of goals for WP St. Louis with regards to libraries at Wikipedia:WikiProject St. Louis/Education. You're welcome to change that. We could even make a subpage for it if we needed to. I'm not sure how much there is to cover. The three main UMSL libraries now have pages though.

[edit] Ursula Le Guin

Thank you very much for your tribute to my little deed =) How did you know to put "Спасибо!" there? )) ps. I know the site where you can read the texts of Ursula for free and even download them!! (sorry for russian interface, but! Google translate is not sleeping))) here is the link: http://lib.rus.ec/a/18321/en

(answer to the bot reply on my talk page) This link certainly satisfies any of copyright conditions, because there is no copyright laws in such country like Ecuador where the site is being hosted. Hence, if your country does have them, you better do not download anything. Soshial (talk) 22:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability tag

Thanks for your response to my concerns. If it's being actively edited rather than sitting there as a small stub then that satisfies me. Cheers Buckshot06(prof) 22:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: Bat-template

Not a problem.

But please, if you've read through what's here, add you comment and why you feel the villain list in the template should be expanded, and to what extent. The idea is to get as many concerned voices as possible in the discussion.

The revert was because the discussion is on going. It isn't considered good form to boldly edit a section that is under discussion.

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Story of the Stone.pg.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Story of the Stone.pg.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?
