If you will follow the things on my adoptee classroom (you're adoptee 3). Chubbennaitor 15:02, 25 July 2008 (UTC) Reply for second questionA WikiProject is a central place for editor collaboration on a particular topic area. It may develop criteria, maintain various collaborative processes, keep track of work that needs to be done, and act as a forum where issues of interest to the editors of a subject may be discussed. see WikiProject Guide for more information on a comprehensive guide to organizing and running a WikiProject.. Gman124 talk 00:11, 26 July 2008 (UTC) User PageHi, I changed the template that was there (the one that said ur seeking adoption) to a template that says you have been offered adoption because the original template adds you to a cetegory that we use to find new adoptees who havnt been given offers yet, where as you has recieved an offer.

replyNo I wasn't messing with the user page. I just don't feel like updating it much. --Gman124 talk 22:42, 5 August 2008 (UTC) AdoptionHi, Its done, below is your adoption subpage, it contains all the conversations so far on the one page.

I have listed you as an adoptee of me, I look forward to working with you. «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™|l» (talk) 02:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC) Last Updated by Prom3th3an: «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™|l» (talk) 08:50, 11 September 2008 (UTC) User:Prom3th3an/Adoption/aspheader AdoptionDepending on what you seek from adoption, would you like me to adopt you. For more information about who I am and what I do here, go to User:Prom3th3an otherwise you have already done everything that you need to do to be adopted by someone else. «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™|l» (talk) 14:22, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Alrighty, so what's the first step? Am I just going through the courses you set up and letting you know what I'm doing/editing? Two other questions for ya: Is there a template of sorts for a user page that I can use? and how do you create the subpages? Regarding the deletion course: I was looking through pages and found The World Cafe. I noticed the template at the top was placed nearly two years ago, and it definatly is blatant advertising. Should I use the {{db-ad}} template? and do I remove the current template?--Infero Veritas (talk) 14:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Cleanup Patrol AssignmentI'm working on the first one and ran into a few questions after editing a few pages.
2: What is the criteria for removing a cleanup tag? Some articles I looked at didn't appear to have anything that needed changed. Others may only need one things adjusted, but there is a better tag that could be applied to be more specific. I think I asked those in a way that makes sense, if not just tell me to clarify. --Infero Veritas (talk) 17:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Question for yaSo here's something I've run into a lil bit recently. I goto a page I want to make edits to, and I notice that in the past (usually a year or two ago) people were discussing the page a whole bunch, but nothing has been said in awhile. So before I make a major edit to the page, do I really need to post anything on there requesting people's input? Or how should I go about that?Infero Veritas (talk) 20:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC) WP:BOLD. Go ahead and make the change, ask questions later and discuss if people dont like it. Prom3th3an (talk) 08:48, 11 September 2008 (UTC) Infobox?What infobox would that be?~ZytheTalk to me! 20:24, 7 August 2008 (UTC) Amway/QuixtarNot much new that I'm aware of, though I haven't been paying much attention either. The main thing is that Alticor announced that it is renaming Quixtar back to Amway. There is a proposal to merge the articles, which I'm concerned may be inappropriate because the underlying company may be essentialy the same, and because information may be lost. However the matter is still being discussed. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 00:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC) Merry Christmas from PrometheanO'Hai there Infero Veritas, Merry Christmas! Infero Veritas, NutriliteI don't necessarily see a need for more references, though this is always good. Rather, the references currently on the page leave something to be desired. Since the general WP policy is to avoid sourcing things such as press releases from the company in question as much as possible, it seems the article would benefit greatly if non-corporate newspapers and other reliable third-party sources are used to source the material. Currently, there are only two such sources used in the article (that of the Hindu Business Line and the NSF link that doesn't work anymore) and the rest are corporate sources related to Nutrilite. If the subject is notable, then there must be plenty of reference material we can use other than that which is directly related to the subject in question. My thoughts primarily revolved around resolving any potential or perceived conflict of interest in the source material (e.g. all companies want to sell their brands and products and the companies related to Nutrilite have this same necessarily biased interest). Thanks again. --Xaliqen (talk) 02:09, 12 February 2009 (UTC) Buffalo Sabres draft picksNot a problem. Many users create personal subpages (i.e.: I have several, with User:Resolute/Sandbox for works in progress). Creating a subpage is pretty simple, and details can be found at Wikipedia:Subpages. From there, you can copy the Sabres article into your subpage and work on it at your leisure, copying the result back into the main article when finished. Cheers, Resolute 20:47, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Re:Please NoteI apologize for the this tardy reply - I have been really busy in real life, and have not had much time to do things on Wikipedia. Do not worry about the slip-up on the Madden talk page, it happens to all of us. Pertaining to your Favre/Levens inquiry on my talk page, I made my case in the "Madden Curse Deleted..." section, which is basically a reiteration of the the original decision to move and consolidate the Madden Curse article (See [1]). I am sorry that I am being very brief, but I am also (unfortunately) rather busy with other things right now. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 00:52, 20 February 2009 (UTC) TemplatesMost of our infobox templates should be in Category:Ice hockey infobox templates. I'm not sure we have one that is set for both colours and collapsable history, though in theory, anything can be modified. Since we do aim for some degree of consistency, I would suggest using the same infobox as you would find for other teams in the same league as the article you are working on. Cheers, Resolute 15:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC) Otters / SabresSure, I'll take a look at them. Probably sometime tomorrow. --D.B.talk•contribs 04:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
User page{{FULLPAGENAME}} is a magic word used to display the name of page without having to have you type the page name out. Using {{FULLPAGENAME}} on your talk page, will produce: User talk:Infero Veritas. --D.B.talk•contribs 19:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Sabres Draft Picks ListIt never became an FL. A consensus was not reached. The reviewers made me make a bunch of changes I didn't agree with, like taking out all the players who never played in the NHL and moving the page from List of Buffalo Sabres draft picks (where I originally had it) to Buffalo Sabres draft history. Obviously, both of those changes they forced me, kicking and screaming, to make have since been changed back. Nice. Anyway, I got frustrated with the process and never finished going through with the FL process. Good work on updating the page. Let me know if you want any more help with such articles; I don't spend very much time here any more, but I do still like to help out if I'm needed. Skudrafan1 (talk) 01:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC) Colt StationWas pleasantly surprised to see the start of a Colt Station article. Although, I am a little concerned about the image of being not having a free license (I recall seeing that image somwhere else). A list of the sources won't be bad either (more for me so I can go look at them and see if I can add anything else to the article from them). I'll be more nitpicky later when the article becomes more complete, but so far the articles is a good start. --D.B.talk•contribs 17:00, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
UserboxesI noticed your userboxes at User:Infero Veritas/Boxii and User:Infero Veritas/UserBoxii use userboxes from a number of other subpages; many of these userboxes are using non-free images. Per the policy Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria #9: "Non-free content is allowed only in articles". You need to remove these images from your userboxes. Please let me know if you have questions on this. Scouting userboxes using free images are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Userboxes.

ECHL task forceI have been working on many ECHL articles since I joined Wikipedia a few years ago and am in the process of petitioning WikiProject Ice Hockey for a separate ECHL task force. I have notice your amazing contributions to the Erie Panthers article and felt that you would be qualified to help with the task force. I am asking ten other Wikipedians and am hoping for at least five commitments before I petition the WikiProject. Would you be interested in joining this potential task force?
