Your GA nomination of Cole Hamels

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Cole Hamels you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Secret -- Secret (talk) 00:31, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

• I don't know how to say this, I'm considering to nominate you because you have a lot of experiance, but I need to know if you'd be interested. Please let me know what your favourite articles and points of interest are and I will be happy to set it up. As long as you can be thick-skinned and patient, you're ready for the next level.
• I can't wait for the baseball season to start. I love snow, but the Yankees and your favourite team the Phillies had disappointing seasons so the 2014 season can't come soon enough. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 10:56, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

• Hi NintendoFan. I have given adminship much thought, and while it is something for which I plan to run at some point hopefully in the not-too-distant future, it is not something for which I am prepared to run at the moment. Thank you for the offer of nomination, however. Regarding the Phillies/baseball, there are about 24" of snow in my backyard right now, and they are calling for 3-5" more tonight and tomorrow, and, if you can believe it, I am doing some cold weather camping tonight and tomorrow. I agree, though, spring cannot come too soon at this point. Go Phightins! 16:18, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

  No problem. I'm sure you'd get plenty of support but if you want to wait that is fine. I have to tell you I really miss Charlie as the coach of the Phils. He had one of the most successful era of the team. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 22:30, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

• Charlie was ... interesting. I would have rather seen Ruben Amaro, Jr. go, though it was time for Charlie too. I like Ryno. Go Phightins! 18:29, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

• Sorry, I don't feel bad for either of you guys. All I know is my favorite Red Sox won the 2013 World Series, after 3 seasons of September downfalls. That said, I like the Phillies and the Yankees too (even though they are my team's biggest rival) and I wish both teams good luck for the 2014 season. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 19:24, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

• Your Red Sox? Looks like your a fan, but the team belongs to Boston. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 00:22, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

• Forgot the word "favorite" @NintendoFan: . Either way, the Yankees are going down! Red Sox Nation, beards all the way !! Sportsguy17 (T • C) 03:46, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Football in the Philippines

I'm sorry. I forgot tell you that, I am currently busy right now due to my upcoming test in Thursday. I will finish it this weekend and message you to rereview the article. And again thanks! :) FairyTailRocks (talk) 12:18, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

OK, sounds good. Just didn't want to fall off and let the review languish. If you wouldn't mind going to the review page and commenting specifically on my concerns, noting which you have addressed, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot, and great work on the article! Go Phightins! 02:02, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Sure! No problems, just fixing some few tweaks and it will be finished by Saturday or Sunday. FairyTailRocks (talk) 08:30, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia-related question for talk page stalkers

This may be a dumb question, and it may hit me as soon as I post it, but over the past few weeks, in several discussions, I have seen the term "OP" utilized referring to an editor. At first, I thought it was just a typo meaning "IP", but I have seen it enough times that I don't think it is. Anyone know what it stands for? Thanks. Go Phightins! 11:42, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

I think it might stand for 'opening poster' or 'original poster', but I'm not sure. Northern Antarctica (talk) 16:31, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Glossary#O, it is an "Abbreviation for Original post (or "Original poster"). Can also stand for Open Proxy. Or, in the context of IRC, "op" can refer to "ChanOp" (Channel Operator), and to "get ops" or "be opped" means to attain a higher access level within a channel." In the cases you are referring to, it is probably the first definition that applies. Northern Antarctica (talk) 17:27, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

It's a convention that was/is used on Usenet (not sure if there are earlier uses that predate this), referring to the original post or original poster, namely the initial post that started the discussion thread. isaacl (talk) 19:26, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Your nomination

Thank you for your nomination of me as "Editor of the Week". Although a simple award, I appreciate your recognition and Wikipedia's acknowledgment of my contributions over the past 5-7 years.

Good luck on all your endeavors in the community. ^ruben jcZEORYMER (talk) 09:50, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
