Football AID 8 April - 15 April

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

Liverpool F.C. has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

KFP's RfA thanks

Thank you for supporting me on my recent nomination for adminship, which passed with a tally of 45/0/0. Please let me know if I can help with something or if I make a mistake. Cheers! --KFP (talk | contribs) 15:06, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

For your support in my RfA. I have been promoted. J Milburn 16:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello

I'll be back from break shortly and am keen to progress NCFC. Hope you're well. --Dweller 08:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey dude, good to hear from you again. It's my birthday today so I'm very well, thanks for asking! Still at work mind you, but looking forward to celebrating a bit tonight. When you're ready for another NCFC drive, let me know... The Rambling Man 11:11, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Gearing up for it. How about tomorrow? Where are we up to? --Dweller 12:52, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, tomorrow is good. I think we had a way to go on tidying up the smaller sections, ownership, crest, colours etc, and some decisions needed to be made over the managers section, whether to keep 'em all. Also, I was hoping you'd cut the history down a bit more... and there's a peer review for it too... The Rambling Man 12:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to the hardest working man in Wikipedia from the budgie.

Message

This is the person who edited DosKey, yes i know i shouldn't have edited DosKey it's just that i wanted to add myself to wikipedia (Since i have been so many times). I will only give an apoligy if you tell me where you got the lies saying that i edited the sunderland wikipedia site. I am very intriged about why you said that because, because i want to know the facts. ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.172.220 (talk • contribs)

On behalf of The Rambling Man, I've replied to your talk page. --Dweller 18:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Coincidence

Hey, just a quick message to let you know we have a new user who goes by the name of Chairbhoy (talk · contribs). It may be pure coincidence, but I had a doppleganger a while ago and it was... well... troubling... The Rambling Man 13:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for him. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 14:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Scotland national team PR

Thanks for your comments, I'll get to work on some of your suggestions. Archibald99  16:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

York City external links

Hey, thanks for reviewing the York City article, I've been working on some of your recommendations. I was wandering if you could give me a hand with the trimming down of the External links section; I'm not totally sure on it. I would have thought most of the Supporters' organisations links could be done without, and probably the Minstermen site. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks. Mattythewhite 18:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello

I'd appreciate a critical insight at Wikipedia:User_categories_for_discussion#Category:Wikipedians_who_support_F.C._Copenhagen Ta. --Dweller 15:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Thagyoo. --Dweller 11:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem, seemed like a no-brainer to me! You're spending a lot of time over at XFD these days, any particular reason?! The Rambling Man 11:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

<Lloyd Grossman voice> Hmmm... let's look at the evidence. He's spending lots of time at XfD, he's signed up for admin coaching, he's had an editor review and is modifying his behaviour according to comments received, and he's discussing decisions about blocks and protection with experienced admins. What can it mean? David, it's oooooover to you. --Dweller 12:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Typical! Well let me know if there's anything I can do to help en route... The Rambling Man 12:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

lol. I promised The Transhumanist I would do nothing until he thought I'm ready. --Dweller 12:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Football records in Italy

It looks like an interesting page, but where are the references to verify all those dates and numbers? - Mgm|^(talk) 11:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree - these figures have all been extracted from a number of other Wikipedia pages, and I'm just about to add the references they use. Hope that helps. The Rambling Man 11:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Table of contents

Thanks for helping at User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom/Dweller, on Featured Article Candidates. It's gonna be a cracker. I want to move the table of contents to below the introduction. Any idea how I do that? --Dweller 15:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to push this article to conclusion today/tomorrow. Any contributions / copyedits / tweaks / illustrations welcomed. --Dweller 09:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do - I seem to have got caught up in the excitement of Italian football champions - I'll be putting it up for FLC soon I think... The Rambling Man 09:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Article well developed now. Please cast a quick eye and let me know if I'm missing anything. --Dweller 14:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

AS Roma players

Hi Rambling!

Some months ago I wrote something about Giacomo Losi, but for other less known players there is a lack of informations, but I think I can find something and create other articles... why are you interested in AS Roma players? Maybe because you are still amazed after the great performance they offered against Man Utd? ;) Ciao Gaúcho 16:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page.

I don't think I got round to congratulating you when Ipswich Town got promoted to FA, so a belated congratulations. Oldelpaso 17:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem, and thanks for the belated congrats. Thank you for making so much effort to review the articles Dweller and I put up for FA and for offering so much good advice! Cheers The Rambling Man 17:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Jog On and Stop rambling you silly old fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, quite. Please channel your imagination and floral language into improving the Wikipedia. Cheers! The Rambling Man 18:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Adminship

When The Transhumanist is next around, I plan to ask him to co-nom you for adminship. Are you ready to run the gauntlet again? The Project would benefit greatly if you had a mop. --Dweller 19:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll run the gauntlet anytime. Is it incestuous to offer the same in reverse, in other words, if you think you're ready (when The Transhumanist gives you a thumbs up), can I offer my nom/co-nom? The Rambling Man 22:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It'd be an honour. --Dweller 08:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

TeckWiz's RFA

Hey Rambling Man. Thanks for supporting my unsuccessful RFA this week. I hope to keep helping and improving Wikipedia alongside you. --TeckWiz ^ParlateContribs_@(Lets go Yankees!) 01:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Bad luck, better luck next time... The Rambling Man 13:26, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

LFC

I think there are a few minor things still to fix on the article, and there may be some more comments on the PR, so maybe it's worth waiting just a little while. ArtVandelay13 13:22, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, cool. Let me know if you need any help with it... The Rambling Man 13:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Graphs

Hiya

Further to your comment on the GFC peer review page, would you be able to advise me on how to make the graph you refer to? I know how to make a graph in Excel but can't find a way to add the coloured "bands" representing the different divisions. Any help you can offer would truly be much appreciated :-) ChrisTheDude 07:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, yeah, I was just reading through your responses to the comments I made on the peer review. Well, for ITFC I didn't bother with the coloured bands, I found them a bit over the top. Instead I just had coloured lines to indicate the division boundaries - check it out: Image:ITFC record.png. The Rambling Man 08:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Cheers - gives me something to work on at lunchtime! :-) ChrisTheDude 08:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

No worries..! The Rambling Man 08:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Graph now added to the GFC article, thanks for your assistance!!!!! ChrisTheDude 11:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Cheers for the "p"s :-) I went in to do it, typed them all in, then when I hit save I got an edit conflict message, and it was you doing the same thing! I'm going to put the article up for FA but I think I'll wait till next week as I'm very busy between now and then and want to make sure it only goes up when I have plenty of spare time to address issues people might raise in the debate. Many thanks once again for your assistance!

BTW one of my GFC heroes when I was a kid was former Portman Road star George Burley, I wonder whatever happened to him :-) ChrisTheDude 12:13, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Well let me know when you nominate it, I'll be more than happy to help you with anything further. All the best... The Rambling Man 15:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC) P.S. Burley eh? The good ol' days.... !!

Twice-yearly madness

It's started. ([1]) --Dweller 11:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, at work I have two Norwich fans who work for me, one closet, one regular Carrow Roader. Our discussions are rough, but not quite that stupid. I read today that you're clean out of fit players and have resorted to under-12s or something?! The Rambling Man 12:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Yup. I created stub articles the other day for 2 youth players who were subs the other night v Burnley (1 actually got on the field). Another (Kris Renton) started. --Dweller 14:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Message from 172.178.124.57

I found a detailed article about me in Wikipedia to my surprise. You have edited it several times. Who are you?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.178.124.57 (talk • contribs).

Well, I'm The Rambling Man. Who are you? The Rambling Man 06:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Norwich City F.C.

Right, sir, I have my book to hand. What needs sourcing? --Dweller 07:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, well let's see:

• The building on the crest.
  • No joy. :-(
    • Not good enough! I'm surprised really... surely someone somewhere knows this?
• Origin of canaries
  • Done
• Carrow Road terrace roof
  • Done
• Fans singing only the chorus to "On the Ball, City"
  • Looking... how about ([2]) Not sure it's a RS?
    • I'm not sure it's an RS either, but I would suggest adding it in as a reference and see if anyone gets too upset about it at the FA nom?
• "Pride of Anglia" title
  • Done

That's about it... The Rambling Man 08:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Can you help with fixing into citeweb the temporary citations I've added? --Dweller 09:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

It's nice down here. :( – B.hotep ^u/_t• 11:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Rothschild Giraffe

You're a genius. Thanks for the citations - this is my first article and I wasn't sure how to go about it.

I have found this http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1288611 which states that 40 are believed to exist in the wild. Would this do?

Thanks again.

Deanmurley 09:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Hi The Rambling Man/Archive 14 and thank you for your support on my recent request for adminship. Unfortunately, the request failed, however I aim to improve the concerns that were brought up and hopefully bring myself up to the standards of admin. Once again, I thank you for your support. --Kz^{Talk• Contribs} 12:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

More homework for you!

I've asked for peer reviews from a couple of editors and a couple of WikiProjects. In return (!) could you sort out the broken ref in NCFC (48 or 49) and properly ref the sources in "Supporters"? Ta! --Dweller 14:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Done, I think, if you'd care to check! Plus I think I've found some more on Serie A (from a book in Waterstones, as predicted...) The Rambling Man 15:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Rothschild Giraffe - again!

Hi Rambling Man,

I have a reliable source for the number of Rothschilds left in the wild - http://www.woburnsafari.co.uk/education/animal_facts/rothschilds_giraffe.php

This is Woburn Safari Park and rates the numbers at 40.

I this is cited, does it mean the article will be considered for did you know? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deanmurley (talk • contribs).

Bingo. That's great, I've added the citation for you. It will most certainly be considered for DYK, but we'll have to keep an eye on it in case someone has any further comments to improve the article so that it can be linked to from the Main Page. All the best. The Rambling Man 15:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Giraffe Centre

Do you know why the Rothschild Giraffe article doesn't link to The Giraffe Centre and vice-versa?

Thanks.

Deanmurley 15:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Italian football champions

On 21 April 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Italian football champions, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

--howcheng {chat} 01:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Rothschild Giraffe

An entry from Rothschild giraffe appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 21 April 2007.

LiPollis 07:37, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help Rambling Man. How do I tab this text across like the other discussion responses?

Deanmurley 13:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome...

Thanks for the welcome.

I actually read most the articles you referred to prior to undertaking any work. In fact it was the general principles embodied therein that attracted me to making a contribution.

Nonetheless, I appreciate it that you took the time to say hi… Oz Spinner 09:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem, keep enjoying your time here! The Rambling Man 09:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Extended break

Indeed. I'll be back in a month or so. The break will do me some good, since school's just restarted anyway. I need to get away from this place. – Chacor (RIP 32@VT) 14:56, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Football AID 22 April - 29 April

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

Leeds United A.F.C. has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

FL

Hi. I've supported. Have you had the pix checked for licensing issues? --Dweller 08:53, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks. No, but one was released under GFDL, the other is public domain (copyright expired). Turns out that the GFDL one now has some Italian warning templates added to it (presumably since it made the DYK overnight Friday/Saturday it picked up some more interest) - I guess they're disputing the GFDL attribution but I'm not sure... I may have to ditch the Torino Grande one... not sure. The Rambling Man 08:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

There is another Grande Torino image at Commons, in black & white, but it will probably suffer the same fate... The Rambling Man 09:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Little question

Hey, just got a little question to ask here. Would you recommend I place the list of York managers into the main article instead of having a seperate article for it? Thanks, Mattythewhite 10:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I've given my support to Italian football champions; nice work there. Not yet given Norwich City much of a look at yet. Also, I think I'm nearly ready for York City FAC. Do you think theres anything in particular that needs improving on it still? Thanks, Mattythewhite 19:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Norwich City F.C.

I think I have the final pieces of the jigsaw before we go to FAC. I'll start adding them asap. --Dweller 12:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Good news. Anything I can do, give me a shout ASAP. The Rambling Man 12:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

OK. I've done 'em. If you can possibly help with the citewebs, I'll take a look at the formatting of "Colours and crest". It would be easiest to put this into bullets, but I think flowing prose is most FA-worthy. Are we then all done? --Dweller 13:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I think we're nearly done, but the link to the club shop for away shirts doesn't work. I can't extract a useful URL from it either so I haven't converted it to a citeweb yet. Can you find an alternative citation for this? The Rambling Man 13:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Done. --Dweller 13:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

My favourite gnome, refs 57, 65 and 66 are really notes. If I reinstate the Notes section, can you convert thosee refs into notes? --Dweller 14:10, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Done. Phew, was a bit of a struggle, but now I understand {{ref list}}'s! The Rambling Man 14:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Splendid! Thanks. Let's nom it! --Dweller 14:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

btw, further to a comment we had (PR I think) I've expanded slightly the ownership section... one more ref for you to gnome. Sorry. --Dweller 15:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Done. You would like a Tractor Boy to nom your stinky article about Budgies?! The Rambling Man 15:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd find it amusing. Proof of NPOV!?!? --Dweller 15:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Ta. I'm working through outstanding PR issues. One more ref to format for you, my friend. offline for a bit now. --Dweller 16:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Proposed RfA

Please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket#Proposed_RfA --Dweller 15:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Morning!

Yup. I've just refuted one (not sure about using the "done" template, is there a better?) Meanwhile, further to comment from The Transhumanist at my talk, I've posted to WT:CRIC. Check it out. Hope you didn't feel guinea-pigged. You now have no need. I'll post the official invitation here once The Transhumanist has completed his copy on the nom. --Dweller 07:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind. It just guarantees a neutral/oppose from Kelly Martin! Oh well. The Rambling Man 07:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I've responded to some of the comments at the NCFC FAC. I've disagreed with some. Feel free to disagree, in turn, with me! --Dweller 12:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Tay Zonday

Good catch. That account is clearly a sockpuppet of someone, and I've now indef blocked it as such. I suspect its User:Denic2k6 or possibly User:Somemoron. Either way, that account is clearly abusive. Thanks for alerting me. Best as always, Gwernol 12:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

was/were

Of the five changes here ([3]) I disagree with 1, 3, 4 and 5. In English English, it's normal to use the singular for "the club" and plural for "Norwich City". --Dweller 15:30, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Fine by me. I was trying to interpret what Oldelpaso had said. It felt strange saying the "The club were relegated" but not that strange. "The club was relegated", "The club were relegated"... Hmm.. horses for courses I reckon. Feel free to revert my hideous outburst...! The Rambling Man 15:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Horses for relegation would suit me better. lol. Anyway, please feel free to continue gnoming for me. I thought the club's best efforts should appear in the stats. --Dweller 16:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing. I believe both of your most recent ref's have been used already so I'll go looking for a ref name.... The Rambling Man 16:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

ITFC edits

Hi. There's been a bunch of stuff at ITFC. Some of it's vandalism, but some good faith. I've not got enough knowledge to be able to sort out the wheat and chaff. --Dweller 09:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

NCFC

How about one of your splendid graphs, old boy? Oh, and I've asked the photo guru to check the pix at the article. --Dweller 09:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

For ze graph I need ze league finishes for every season... got that info anywhere handy in an Excel-able format? The Rambling Man 11:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Is this a start, ([4])? Almost up to date. --Dweller 12:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I got there in the end, that link wasn't the proper url (a bit like that pesky link to the NCFC shop) but I found the results. Now all I need is the number of teams in each division for each season (I've lost that since last time... typical) - the ITFC list of finishes I had was actually from 1 (when we won the proper first division!) to 92 (not that we got that low down) so it was easy, this list is of finishes in each division... The Rambling Man 12:40, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I think that this ([5]) will help. If you've not met Mr Wray and his amazing Excel sheets before, be prepared to be amazed (He's a Brighton fan, btw) --Dweller 12:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Well that was certainly interesting but I couldn't find where it gave me the division sizes for all divisions from 1930-odd to today... The Rambling Man 13:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought there's a similar graph in it. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking. --Dweller 13:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Aha, there may have should have been, I got a bunch of errors when I opened it, possibly one of the worksheets was corrupted which contained the very thing we're discussing... The Rambling Man 13:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

This ([6]) is a little better, as the summary chart clicks through to each season's league table. Btw, I'm in an edit war. Am I wrong? --Dweller 13:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd noticed that. I tidied the article up a bit, but I think that citation is 50/50. I think it's the Times version of a gossip column so while it's definitely a reliable source (The Times) it might not be suitable... I'll think about it some more... Meanwhile, don't get caught up in WP:3RR! The Rambling Man 13:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like the consensus favours the removal of that comment. Oh well, at least it was well cited! Your link, again, is good, but I still need the total number of each clubs in each division in each season... for the horizontal lines... The Rambling Man 13:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Where did you get it from for the ITFC one? Btw, if you'd care to gnome my recent ref (already used a few lines below) we're up to date at FAC. --Dweller 14:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the catch, dunno. I'll see if I can find my old spreadsheet, I might have it at home although I have a bad feeling I blitzed it... I'll go gnoming... The Rambling Man 14:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

York City FAC

I'm just getting ready not to get York City onto FAC. Just thought I'd let you know, and thank you for your help over the last few days. Mattythewhite 16:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I certainly don't object the edits you're making! And I've got an object to the article because of the fair use rationale.. I think I've got that cleared up.. Mattythewhite 07:16, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I've got all those done now! What a bloody mission that was.. :p Mattythewhite 15:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh right, so even "semi-final" for example should have an endash? And could you help me with the images... this fair-use rationale thing is boggling my mind.. Mattythewhite 16:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support; I doubt I would have got this far without your help. Mattythewhite 17:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

The York City logo needs fair use rationale now according to Pagrashtak.. Mattythewhite 17:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Done! The Rambling Man 17:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Good job on the copyediting so far. Except for where you used "moreover", because that's a pet hate of mine ;-) Oldelpaso 19:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Nominating you for adminship

Good luck! --Dweller 15:15, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Let me know when you're happy for it to be transcluded to RfA. I'll add your edit stats to the talk page. --Dweller 16:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like I'm about done. To be honest, with the current heated debates over the whole RFA process, who knows what'll happen here, I reckon this'll be exciting! Update the close date and transclude away when you're ready unless you feel I'm underselling myself! Many thanks to you... The Rambling Man 16:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

When the RfA is up an running...

Ian Thorpe

Hi Rambling Man. Not sure if your love of sport extends to swimming, but I'm wondering if you could take a look at the Thorpe FAR in any way and see if it can be rescued, since I am about to go walkabouts for a while. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look at it later on today. Enjoy your walkabout...! The Rambling Man 06:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Your RFA

I put an optional question on your RFA that I'd really like to learn from. :) bibliomaniac15 21:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi TRM

My votes are for Bill O'Reilly (cricketer) and a Welsh castle - maybe Harlech Castle, as there's a good siege story. What say you? PS It's not going badly, is it? --Dweller 22:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

See my post at WT:CRIC. Also, do you want to update Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Participants? Can't believe I've never signed up. --Dweller 11:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Please gnome me. Me barnies are huge and look awful. If you could shrink them, so they fit widthwise in the space to the left of the userboxes, that'd be lovely. If their height shrank too, that'd be no bad thing. --Dweller 11:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah. I've made progress. Much better. Now if only I can make the stars into links to my subpage... --Dweller 12:21, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

YCFC..

G'day. I was wandering if you could help me with some copyediting on the York City article, if you have any free time; Dweller says it should have some work on it from a third party. Thanks, Mattythewhite 16:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't have time, but, for you, I will make time....! Sure thing, I'll get on to it soon...! The Rambling Man 16:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
