Thanks for your work trying to protect and improve List of Ohio county name etymologies... I just attempted to modify the introductory paragraph a little as suggested by one of the critics. If you don't mind, a quick check from you would probably be helpful. Thanks again, --Matthew K (talk) 04:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello again. I've removed or edited the problem areas in the article. I'm worried though that there may be other bits that have been cut and pasted from other websites. Some of the problems look as if they were added by you. The reasons why we don't allow taking material from other articles, even if it's only small bits, are given at WP:COPYVIO. If you think there may be other bits that have been taken from other websites, it would be really helpful if you could identify them (perhaps on the article talk page) and we can work on re-wording them. Happy to discuss. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 19:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Depth charts
Why do the other teams still have their depth chart templates? If they won't get deleted, I will just re-create a template for the Celtics. Because you truly lied when you said that all the templates will be deleted. ● 8~Hype@06:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Clarify?
I wonder if you can expand on the meaning of
this comment? "Outdated" how, specifically? You said "per above", but what had been said above did not mention "outdated". It did mention the lack of references, an issue that had been squarely faced when the list was originally promoted.
A disturbing thing about this particular delisting is that none of the people recommending delisting showed any sign at all that they knew what this list is.
Since no one had mentioned "outdated" until you did, I take it you were addressing some concern other than what had already been said, but you made no attempt to make it clear what that was. Do you find something to be "outdated" in the list's content? Michael Hardy (talk) 22:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Well done!

Hi, and welcome to the Lakers WikiProject! We are a group of (mainly) Lakers fans who help to improve coverage related to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wikipedia.
Looking for somewhere to start? Here is a few suggestions.
Yeah, you're right. I really don't like it when they do that, especially when they do it in the middle of one. I'll have to watch for that in the future. -- Scorpion042200:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
Just want to apologise for ruining what you did for the Dallas Mavericks roster here I have tried to undo what i did but it doesn't seem to work so hopefully you can clear everything up. Yesterday when i went onto the 2007-08 page there was no roster so i created it from your template unknown to me there is already one here that users have been using from the start of the season. Its just that it didn't appear on the page, i dont know what happened but hopefully you can fix it up. Thanks and im sorry. Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 05:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you took part in the recent FLRC for List of Arsenal F.C. players and thought you might be interested in participating in a new discussion. The FLRC was closed as no consensus and it is clear the the issue of incompleteness in longer FLs is not over, so a discussion page has been started here. Please feel free to comment. -- Scorpion042221:18, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Phil Jackson
I explained the reason why Phil is in the 2006 term not 2005. I hope you agree with what I say. Go to the Lakers' Discussion page for more info.
Hey - I still appreciate all the work you're doing putting together more NBA all-time rosters. I have one question though - is there any chance that you can start by default with wikilinks for all the names when you're putting it together? I can help you go through afterwards to fix any disambiguation problems with it, but I think it might be easier to start with just putting in the links when you're typing it up (that's how I did mine, anyway) than putting them in afterward. And, once again, I'll be happy to help check out the links to make sure they go to the right places when they get them up too. matt91486 (talk) 16:14, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I understand, it's definitely easier when people have crazy names and we don't have to worry about disambig problems. I'll probably continue going through the Milwaukee Bucks page some and work on links there when I've got a few free minutes and/or I'm procrastinating. matt91486 (talk) 19:13, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Pau Gasol scored 36 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocked shots as the Lakers beat the Nuggets. Gasol, who was 0-12 in his prior playoffs, finally won a postseason game with the Lakers.
Transactions
The Lakers have been involved in the following transactions during the 2007-08 season.
Do you need to add the retrieval date to the refs for newspaper articles? In response to your first comment that some of the refs needed retrieval dates, I added retrieval dates to a few of the references which were from the web and other sources but I was unaware that newspaper articles needed retrieval dates. Indeed, when I checked the Wikipedia:Citation templates page and scrolled to the newspaper citation template, it did not have a space for retrieval date. This led me to believe that they were not required.
If I am incorrect and in the wrong, I apoligise and will add the retrieval dates for these.
Oh... well I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding. I just assumed that when you originally questioned the refs, you were referring to the web links which I indeed had not added access dates to. I will add the retrieval dates now.
I've re-started the process here and am notifying the four candidates for director as well as advertising at FLC talk and FAC talk. Your input would be valued. TONY(talk)05:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
As the playoffs continue, keep the 2008 NBA Playoffs article up-to-date.

I thought it might be needed somehow in the future. Also, I didn't want to disregard a template update which was made shortly before I finished the table. I really don't know, shall I delete the old table? ● 8~Hype@10:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I've written all that in the lead. There is no point of putting it on the table, since they only had had 1 Super Bowl appearance. Also, I will create the template when I'm done with all the lists - there are around 15 left. The template would be filled with red links. «Milk's Favorite Cøøkie( talk / contribs)02:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, thank you very much for spending some time looking at my FLC. I think I have addressed all your comments, do you see anything else ? Have a nice day, Rosenknospe (talk) 10:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Actually I thought Colorbox was better than Legend3, and Legend3 should be merged into Colorbox. For one thing, Legend3 cannot be made into a square box the way colorbox can if no text is added. Matthewedwards (talk·contribs·count·email)06:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, but the 4 nobreakspaces would have to stay in order to keep the box a square. Alternatively, if like on Legend3 "fr" is used, the user could simply do {{colorbox|green|[[France|fr]]}}. Matthewedwards (talk·contribs·count·email)07:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks cheetah for making the changeover for the team templates. I tried to save the templates under just the franchise name (i.e. Template:New York Knicks), but they revert to the team's roster template, so obviously I had to save them under Template:team name franchise. Anyway, nonetheless I appreciate the work. ShawnHill (talk) 16:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Closure request
Hello, would you mind closing the FLC for 2006 Winter Olympics medal count? Rambling Man is away until June and I'm trying to clear the backlog. The archive instructions are no longer on the FLC page, but you can find them on my user page under the blue "FLC archive instructions" header (third from the top).

If you are interested in editing article related to the NBA, please add your name to the member list, if you have not already.
This Month in NBA History..
June 6, 1946 – In the Commodore Hotel of New York, the NBA is officially formed as the Basketball Association of America. Maurice Podoloff is named the first commissioner of the league.
Last month's Collaboration of the Month, Magic Johnson was a great success. A total of 560 edits were made to the article during the month of May, and the article was eventually nominated as a Featured Article Candidate. Although the article was not promoted, it was significantly improved through the work of many editors.
This month's Collaboration of the Month is Steve Nash. Although this is article is already a Good Article, it still can be improved. In particular, all prose should conform to Featured Article standards, all statements should be verified, and the text should be in a neutral point of view. If there is anything you can do to improve the article, then please help out.
Collaborator of the Month
The Collaborator of the Month is given to the editor with the most number of substantial, beneficial edits to the article chosen as the Collaboration of the Month.
This month's Collaborator of the Month award goes to Chensiyuan (talk·contribs). Although he had previously helped Magic Johnson to became a Good article, he made literally hundreds of edits during the month of May. For his contributions, he is rewarded with the NBA Collaborator of the Month Award.
However, all beneficial edits made by any editor was a help. Other members of the project that contributed to the article include:
Hi. You left a message on my talk page, intended for the creator of {{SubatomicParticle}}. That's not me: I've never even edited that template, I just posted a message on its talk page. I think you want User talk:SkyLined. In any case, the List of baryons currently looks OK to me, so I'm not sure if there's a problem with SubatomicParticle specifically in the first place. Hqb (talk) 13:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
all the player pages are now created, however I have a question. I don't think that just because a player was drafted by a team makes that player notable enough to have thier own page. For example see Leo Riggs I only found one ref for him and its just one line at the following link, see 1946 in the list, in 1946 year line in the list at the bottom. On that it says that he never played a single down in NFL, so since he never played n NFL an was just drafted so why should a page for players like that be created. In my opinion he's just not notable enough. So why is it that you insist on having pages created for players that didn't even play? --Gman124 talk14:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
You're welcome for the barnstar and I already know it's currently not mature enough to be featured. I was also wondering if we should include the Minneapolis side of the draft.$$Annoyomous24$$ (talk) 17:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey Crzycheetah! I was just wondering why won't you just do the relinking for the colleges/universities when you notice them? (Annoyomous24) (talk) 22:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

18 days listed, one support, 3 edits (including your two today) since May 30th. No consensus to promote whatsoever and no real effort to change the consensus. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Okay. Excluding your nom supports and a "Looks good support" drive by (who had reviewed 37 lists in a single one hour session), you had Matthew only supporting. That's not exactly community consensus in my opinion. But I'm happy to take another look, of course. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
And a couple of other points:
The nationality column doesn't seem to sort correctly for me - why does YUG come before BIH and BRA?
Greetings. FL directors Scorpion0422 and The Rambling Man have decided to run a contest for FL contributors. We are trying to get some interest in the process and get some FLs for the under-represented topics. If you would like to learn more about this contest, you can find such information here. If you are uninterested in it, then you could still help out by reviewing FLCs submitted by the entrants. Thanks for the time, Scorpion042218:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for entering the contest. You are now able to select the topic that you would like to work on. While it is a good idea to know which specific list you will work on before you select a topic, you do not have to submit your list until Thursday. Once you have a topic and a list, you can start work. However, you will not be able to submit an FLC until Sunday at 00:00 (GMT). Good luck and have fun! -- Scorpion042218:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of Minnesota Wild head coaches. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. -Djsasso (talk) 17:21, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
And this is not vandalism. Its a dispute about how content should be laid out, which is exactly what 3RR is about. -Djsasso (talk) 17:33, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello cheetah. Please stop making the Wild coaches article into a 'redirect', without a consensus. Furthermore, if you seek a consensus for such a change? do so for 'all 30' NHL team head coaches articles. GoodDay (talk) 17:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Crzycheetah - I thought my comment "Yep, fixed for me now. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)" was sufficient to reassure you the sorting now worked for me! All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:21, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the page Template:GrizzliesCoach, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "Coaches are listed at {{Memphis Grizzlies}}", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This page does not qualify for speedy deletion under that criterion because this is not a valid use of G6. If you still want the page to be deleted, please re-tag it under a CSD criterion that applies, consider redirecting the article, or use the proposed deletion or the articles for deletion processes. Thanks! --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 03:22, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
FLCs
Hey. As one of WP:FLCs biggest contributors, I was hoping to ask you to revisit some (or all!) of the lists you've reviewed recently and see if any concerns you might have raised have subsequently been addressed. FLCs are gaining a lot of interest and plenty of comments but not many supports or opposes - while the "four supports" minimum has been removed, lists still need community consensus for them to be promoted. Thanks for your contributions so far, keep up the great work. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:51, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your prompt action and for tidying up my various mistakes! Been a long weekend, probably ought to not be editing but the backlog needed a bit of a smack. I appreciate your efforts. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Crzycheetah - could you possibly review your position on this FLC and see if you support or oppose the promotion please? There's a lot of commenting going on but not a lot of supporting or opposition! Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:31, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Template help
Hi, I saw you've edited the NBA roster template and I was wondering if you might be able to help me create a similar template for NFL rosters. I could tell you what I envision it looking like, I'm just not good with creating the complex template. Can you help me?►Chris NelsonHolla!18:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
I did not take part in creating the NBA roster templates. It's complicated to me, too. I think User:Dknights411 was the one who created the NBA roster templates, so you should ask him.--Crzycheetah18:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Portland Trail Blazers GAN has now been on hold for more than a week. There isn't much more that needs to be done, and it would be a shame to fail it when it is fairly near GA status. Peanut4 (talk) 10:38, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
I've also added a note at WT:NBA. If you can fix the two minor points in the main prose, I'll see if I can fix the lead myself. Peanut4 (talk) 21:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Crzycheetah. This list is now overdue but it doesn't have any support/opposition. I'll be removing it shortly as no consensus to promote unless you can generate some interest in it? Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
