The The Simpsons WikiProject team – 16:49, 2 January 2025 UTC [refresh] Official thanks, slightly delayed due to post-RfA crash (who knew?)Tapadh Leibh (Thank You)...
...for helping me navigate the waters of my surprisingly peaceful RFA, which closed successfully with 85 supports, 1 oppose, and 0 neutral. I would particularly like to thank Acalamari and Alison, my nominators, and everyone who watched the page and ran the tally. If there is anything I can do to be of service in the future, please feel free to contact me. If you hate RfA thankspam, please forgive me. I promise I won't block you in retaliation for deleting it ;-) And forgive me if I need a Wikibreak now and then (like now. I'm exhausted!). You wouldn’t want to see me climbing the Reichstag, now would you? Off to flail around with my new mop! (what?!) This RfA thanks inspired by Neranei's, which was inspired by VanTucky's which was in turn inspired by LaraLove's which was inspired by The Random Editor's, which was inspired by Phaedriel's original thanks.

I think the increased automation of Wikipedia will make fighting trolls and vandals easier. It gets annoying to revert vandals, but I find that it is usually easy to do so.

Typo redirect Ancient Egyptian engineeringHello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ancient Egyptian engineering, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ancient Egyptian engineering is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3). Signpost updated for December 17th, 2007.

Ralbot (talk) 19:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC) Duplicate images uploadedThanks for uploading Image:Fenis Castle1.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Fenis Castle.JPG. The copy called Image:Fenis Castle.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action. This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot (talk) 05:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC) ReplyIs there a possibility that Fenis Castle|300px can be made larger? If so, would you be willing to help out with it. Its a nice pic.

Hiya - sorry, but you appear to have removed the "tl" from {{tl|helpme}} on the above user's page. I'm not sure why, but have reinserted it, as the enquiry (which was from a month ago) has been answered, and the reactivation is causing some confusion. If I've overstepped the mark, or there was a purpose to your removal, feel free to let me know. Thanks! Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 14:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC) battle of marionI just noticed that you did a cut and paste for a move rather than using the move option at the top of the page. Don't you want to preserve the history of the article? Or are you not bothered? If you want I can restore the previous edits to preserve the history. If that is what you'd like don't make any more edits to the article. David D. (Talk) 17:54, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Melon‑Bot (STOP!) 18:39, 28 December 2007 (UTC) Other UsersOther users are deleting everything and calling it nonsense! I'm sad and you should help me out! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pumagirl7 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
InsultedI have to admit, I'm kinda insulted. Of all the edits logged under my IP address only one could be considered outright vandalism is the blanking of KMTDCfan89 user page (and that one wasn't me...it was my brother having a fight with the guy spilling over from some other message board). All of my other edits are NOT vandalism, nor did any of them delete any real information! In fact the ONLY deletion is the removal of a picture of a swallowed Simba button from the Simba article. Sidney Leslie Goodwin (4 August 2007): Removed the bolding from a phrase that shouldn't have been bolded. Western North Carolina (3 September 2007): Actually reverted some vandalism. North Carolina (10 September 2007): Fixed the location of the State. Talk:United States (25 September 2007):Answered someone's question about voting in the US. United States Declaration of Independence (26 October 2007):Fixed what I thought was a capitalizing error in the article. Grand Theft Auto IV (2 December 2007): Fixed what I thought was a spelling error. When It was reverted back I asked in the talk page and discovered that I was wrong and didn't attempt to change it back. (aeroplanes VS airplanes) Talk:Harry Potter (27 December 2007): The page was covered in all these big red error messages, becase I didn't know what they were I asked in the talk page. Soon after they were gone. As you can see the ONLY vandalism under this IP was back in late October. And I'm insulted that today you posted a message in my IP talk page more or less accusing me of being a vandal with my edits and that "instead of vandalizing this information, instead think of expanding and making it better." 71.75.103.239 (talk) 17:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's been a month since your editor review, and I was wondering if you'd consider archiving it. Of course, this is purely optional; there is no requirement at all. I'm just asking because the list is getting a bit crowded. Again, if you'd like to stay on longer to see if you get more reviews then by all means feel free to do so.

Secondly, although the Tag & Assess 2007 drive is now officially closed, you are very welcome to continue tagging and assessing until 31 January 2008. Any articles you tag and assess during this time will be credited fully to your tagging tally for further award purposes. Thirdly, if you can find the time, it would be great to have your feedback/comments and participation in the recently-set-up Tag & Assess workshop The idea is to see what lessons we can learn from the 2007 drive to make the 2008 one more efficient and enjoyable.

Hans T. BloklandI've declined the speedy tag you placed on Hans T. Blokland. The reason is:
For your information, עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC) I appreciate your concerns! I think we should keep it. El Buscón was one of the first picaresque novels by the very well-known poet and playwright Francisco de Quevedo. I do need some time to expand it so that it matches or at least comes close to matching the length of the Spanish Wikipedia article on the same subject: which is at: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Busc%C3%B3n --Polylerus (talk) 17:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC) Holy Trinity Church Cuckfield , Deletion Really?I was looking at the newpages and noticed you had marked Holy Trinity Church Cuckfield with a speedy deletion tag. I thought to remove it and note the article that it needs to be wikified instead of deleted. Your reason for the deletion was 'no context' when the article was quite lengthy, yet not encyclopedic. I've asked for it to be wikified. Perhaps you would like to add the article to your watch list and see if it's been wikified within a week. After that you can add a DELETION tag instead of a speedy deletion tag. If you would like to respond please leave a message on my talk page. Monkeytheboy (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 20:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC) The young lady in question has left me a note on my talk page suggesting that I should recreate her Night puma article. That's not going to happen. Since you felt I dealt with her harshly in the past, and you've adopted her as your protege, perhaps you would care to explain to her the reasons for speedy deletion of nonsense articles. I've kept the title on my watchlist and will be keeping an eye out for its possible recreation. If you have any questions, or if there's some aspect of Wikipedia policy that you'd prefer I explain, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

In my opinion, it looks nicer that way. A tip if you're willing to follow my advice: For the talk page, one shouldn't put |} at the bottom of the table, or else all new talk entries would be underneath the table. Also, the correct plural of userbox is userboxen. (for the record, that last comment is a joke) Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 21:12, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
