User talk:Nothing444Collaborations of the weekCollabs. of the week are not about "articles with the best content" as you called it. The purpose of collaborations of the week is to focus the project's energy on improving and expanding an article. Metros (talk) 22:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Re: WikiprojectI'm not sure. There is several information missing in that Wikiproject, that is available in WP:BOSOX and WP:CELTICS. - Milk's favorite Cookie 23:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
What's the point of a Wikiproject if the creator himself doesn't contribute? If you are to make a Wikiproject, make one that interests you. Same as joining; join a Wikiproject that you will help, contribute to, and most of all - you have interest in that topic. The Red Sox are Jj137's favorite baseball team (as with me), and the Celtics are my favorite Basketball team. This is the reason I'm part of these wikiprojects. You just don't ask someone to join a Wikiproject for the heck of it. Please take this into consideration. Thanks. - Milk's favorite Cookie 00:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC) ReplySorry for the wait. I was reading over this and the WP:LINY. It looks great! Who created it, you?--RyRy5 Talk to RyRy 01:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Vague curiosityJust out of curiosity, when is the last edit you've done to a hockey-related article? I see you're adding the taskforce, but I don't see any edits to hockey-related articles out of you. Take the advice of others and focus on improving the articles that these Wikiprojects cover. Metros (talk) 01:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
ReviewI see you changed to a new status signal. It looks better than the last one. Do you think the article Coldplay should be nominated for GA status. I am planning to nominate in in a while. Voice your opinion on that article's talkpage.--RyRy5 Got something to say? 16:10, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Done. And is it ok if I nominate Brooklyn to GA status. I would like to help out the project as much as I can. BTW, I will be offline for a few minutes.--RyRy5 Got something to say? 16:40, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Nice userpage.--RyRy5 Got something to say? 18:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC) Image copyright problem with Image:WSMAAN444 Logo.pngThank you for uploading Image:WSMAAN444 Logo.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 18:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC) 3000th Edit Party to Milk's Favorite Cookie, and of course RyRy5Thanks. But why is it on your talkpage?--RyRy5 Got something to say? 18:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
So, what do you think of my my new article?--RyRy5 Got something to say? 18:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC) ReplyLooks great. Do you mind asking me questions and voting on my Coachee page?RyRy5 Got something to say? 23:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC) BlockedI have blocked you for 72 hours, please see block log for reasons. You seem to be hopelessly unable to contribute to the encyclopedia, even though you're trying. I've deleted all pages you've created in the subpages of WP:HOCKEY; they're simply not needed and they become a tad disruptive. They wouldn't have survived MfD anyhow so I didn't see the need to look up the instructions on how to MfD a page as it's a waste of my time. On the reconsidering your involvement here... you don't contribute to our articles. We're an encyclopedia, not your MySpace or similar thing. I feel lucky that I checked Special:Prefixindex/Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/ today, and I found this. Please take Metros' comments to hard. He doesn't state bluntly as I do, though. When the block does expire, I hope you aren't disruptive. Try to edit articles just a little more; if it doesn't work out, you're here at Wikipedia for the wrong reasons. Please realise that if that's what happens, and stop wasting our time. Good luck, Maxim(talk) 01:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
UnblockedI've unblocked you, again. Your enthusiasm is a good thing, but please try to focus. Your name has been coming up way too often in administrative circles as an example of an editor who does lots of "stuff", but accomplishes very little. I suggest you keep your nose clean and your head low, and focus your edits in the main article space. – ClockworkSoul 07:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Admin coaching request status
RFA ThanksThank you for your comments on my RFA. Even though it failed with 28 supports, 42 opposes, and 15 neutrals, I am grateful for the suggestions and advice I have received and I do hope to improve as a Wikipedian. If you ever need my help in any endeavor, feel free to drop me a line. --Sharkface217 19:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Mainspace EditsWell, I agree that you should consider adoption (again) and edit in the mainspace (alot) more. I have 1050+ mainspace out of my 5800 edits. So, who will you ask to adopt you?--RyRy5 Got something to say? 19:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Also, will you try to become an adoptee? BTW, I have 1050 mainspace edits.--RyRy5 Got something to say? 23:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
BlockedI've blocked you for 72 hours again. You were unblocked by ClockworkSoul in the hope you would keep your nose down and edit the mainspace, so what do you do. This sort of behaviour is insulting to the administrator who has unblocked you twice now, completely off their own back. They could have chosen to ignore you and leave you blocked for the duration of your block but didn't, and how do you repay their trust - by playing in the template space again and again, damaging a highly used template that is transcluded onto hundreds of pages in the process. I have also installed a namespace restriction utility in your monobook file that will remind you when you are editing outwith the mainspace. If you remove the script anytime within the next three months, you will be indefinitely blocked. When your block expires, please, please consider whether Wikipedia is the right place for you, and if it is, please help write content first and foremost. Nick (talk) 11:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Unblockage
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
Nothing444 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: I view this as totally unfair. I have been editing in the mainspace, (if you count stub categorization). I believe that I am a valuable ever. I respect Nick's ideas, and I will do mainspace-only edits form now on if I am unblocked. Decline reason: 72 hour block for immediately violating terms of the previous unblock is fair. Unblock request declined. — MBisanz talk 20:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC) If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. I would support your unblockage if you do contribute a lot more to the mainspace. Perhaps I could also adopt you as I have more experiance there than, say, RyRy5. Perhaps you could join Wikipedia:WikiProject French communes if you need help. This block does seem unjust. Editorofthewiki 23:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
MentoringHello, Thank you for you offer. I would like to learn more. I tried asking on another moderators talk page, but he erased my entry and did not reply! I can only assume I failed to follow some protocol. Perhaps to start with you can assist me in using the basic tools of communication at Wikipedia. unlike allmost every forum software avaialble to today, there does not seem to be a way to send a private message so everything must be discussed in public? When I enter a post it goes to the bottom not the top? Some posts just fall off into oblivion after xxx days? the table at the top does not contain a way to access historical information? I would like to learn how to be of help here but i feel like I am floundering with basic communication skills. How would you like to proceed? RealWorldExperience (talk) 01:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
DRVHi. I'm really sorry I didn't post this sooner, but it didn't occur to me until just now. The deletion of one or more "cabals" in your userspace is at WP:DRV, you may want to see the discussion or comment. Keilana|Parlez ici 23:13, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Re:AdoptionI guess I could adopt you. I haven't done much in this area, and I'm not sure what you're looking to get out of this, but I could informally adopt you and give you advice if you'd like. Just contact me with any questions. Malinaccier (talk) 01:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Meh. I really have no clue about adopting I've always been more of an admin coach. Could you (RyRy5) set up the sub-page that was requested on my talk page? I would also like to say that I doubt I could be very actively pursuing your "training" as I'm generally pretty busy. Therefore it's good that we have RyRy5 to help. Malinaccier (talk) 01:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC) Two points: One is that it is incredibly rude to tell someone that they have to do what you want when they offer you a favor. Malinaccier offered informal adoption so it's not good at all to say "no, formal" and tell Malinaccier to set up a subpage. The second point is that having RyRy5 as your adopter is probably not a great idea considering he still needs a ton of advice to survive on Wikipedia as it is. Metros (talk) 01:24, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Nothing444, don't worry about it. You're just eager to get some experience. Malinaccier (talk) 01:30, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey Nothing444 and RyRy5, you seem to be kind of floating around looking for someone who can seriously mentor you. While I don't usually do something formal, I'm willing to make an exception in this case. I really can't tell from your talk and discussions whether or not you have anyone else working with one or both of you formally, so I figured I'd offer to see if I can't help out with some of the issues you're running in to. Shell babelfish 02:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Re:RollbackI guess it is a month and 3 days after your block so... After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 13:39, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
RyRy5's Barnstar
I think I am a better article writer than you, and being a good article writer is important if you want to try the RFA. There are also a few other things I know I'm better at. Also, Nousernames should be the main adopter and I should be the co-adopter. Comments?--RyRy5 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
CommentIf you want, you can patrol wikipedia at my patrol page. BTW, can you edit in the userspace?--RyRy5 (talk) 17:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
ReplyDefinitely not for a long time. I will see what I can add to the list. Milk’s Favorite Cookie (Talk) 18:24, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
ArticleCould use some expanding and improving. Also, may I have a list of all the articles you have created? BTW, I replied on Jimbo's talkpage.--RyRy5 (talk) 20:37, 19 April 2008 (UTC) Re:AdoptionI see you discussed the matter with RyRy. I'm not involved in adoption, but I can advise RyRy on how to mentor you. Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 20:57, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh it's OK. Everyone makes mistakes.--RyRy5 (talk) 00:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC) Heads upI tagged Comedy rap for deletion, as a case hasn't been made yet for it's notability. Just thought you'd like to know. --SharkfaceT/C 20:58, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
RollbackHello. Just to tell you, you have lost rollback due to other rollback loss summary "wait a month or two". It actually hasn't been a month, I think.--RyRy5 (talk) 02:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC) AfD nomination of Centurion (Scarrow novel)An article that you have been involved in editing, Centurion (Scarrow novel), has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Centurion (Scarrow novel). Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Jaymacdonald (talk) 00:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC) AdoptionHello. I just wanted to say that I probably won't be adopting anymore. Thanks.--RyRy5 (talk) 03:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:28, 22 April 2008 (UTC) Award Center RequestI was wondering if you could rescind your challenge for Adopting 200 Users. The nature of the request asks for quantity in adoptions over quality, and personally I believe all adoptions should be handled strictly through WP:ADOPT. Your feedback would be appreciated. Thanks --SharkfaceT/C 05:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Your RfA, apologyPer Malinaccier's civility concern at my comment there which he perceived to be rude (specifically the part about being first) I'd like to say that I meant no offense by anything said if it seemed that way to you as well, I just meant being the first to comment on the RfA, sorry if it seemed rude, thanks. The DominatorTalkEdits 00:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC) Your RFAI am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, it had no chance of passing for several reasons, including your involvement in the cabal discussion, your recent blocks, and your lack of serious mainspace contributions. I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Wikipedia editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, you may want to look at guide to requests for adminship. If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! Enigma message Review 00:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
"I have speedied"Please don't tell people that you have speedied an article like this. All you did was tagged it. An administrator came along to actually "speedy" it. Metros (talk) 22:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Template:ExYou should ask User:Persian Poet Gal instead. I deleted it on February 6 per T3, but it's not the one you created. Persian Poet Gal did the April deletion that deleted your creation, per G2. She might have mistaken it for a test page. If it isn't you should go talk to her. bibliomaniac15 Do I have your trust? 03:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC) Explanation requiredNothing444, less than two weeks ago Nick unblocked you User_talk:Nothing444#Blocked_2 and had a namespace restriction monitor put in your monobook.jss file. It gave the warning:
Since then you have violated the namespace restriction over a dozen times. Unless you respond to this message, agreeing that the next time you make an edit outside of the permitted parameters, that is editing outside the Mainspace, Talk:, or essential edits to User talk:, you will be blocked for a minimum of one month, I will be blocking you for 1 week for violation of previous unblock terms. MBisanz talk 09:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC) A joke?I can only assume this edit was meant to be a joke.
