Ralbot 03:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC) Speedy tagsPlease take more time to examine articles and their history before tagging them for speedy deletion. The article N2Deep was tagged for db in Feb 2006, and was denied as Not speedyable at that time. The band is not likely to have become less notable since then. Further, they are 1) A US band with an article on the Spanish Wikipedia, 2) Signed to a notable record label, with 9 albums.

Ralbot 05:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC) Quite frankly, I have to agree with TPIRSteve's pov for this article. It is not "known for being one of the easiest games" unless you can provite some interview or article in which some wiki-allowed source actually makes this claim. Otherwise, it's just personal opinion. Also, I have been recently revamping all the pricing game articles, and I am pretty much wiping out all of the "probability" comments in them, as they are not really accurate. Yes there is a 50:50 chance of picking the right box if there are two boxes to choose from, but when picking the correct price of an item, the odds aren't relevant, since "coming" and "going" are not equal options. If I said what's the correct price of a Cadillac, $50,000 or 20 bucks... you can say there's a 50:50 chance of guessing right, but you have to look at the two options and say that they are not equally likely to be right. Similarly, in Coming and Going, the choices are two different prices which factor into the decision, not just random choice. TheHYPO 03:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for May 28th, 2007.

Ralbot 06:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC) T postActually, I'm pretty sure you could've just moved "T" post to T post without having it deleted first: MediaWiki explicitly allows pages to be moved over redirects pointing to them, as long as said redirect only have one revision in their history. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC) User nameThanks, I did not know it was possible to change my username. I have made the request to have it changed. --DieWeibeRose 21:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Anwar Al-GhassanI've decline to speedy-delete, as importance was asserted; whether shown is another matter, as is possible copyvio--you might check for that. DGG 21:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Hi, just letting you know that since a second club was given an article, I've added it to the AFD, and I invite your further comment if you so desire. FrozenPurpleCube 20:14, 8 June 2007 (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 02:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC) My sigOK, I note your request. Tell me why?--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:56, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
I do not really wish to come over as being patronising, but you do not yet know all that there is to know, about wikipedia among, perhaps, other things. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my signature, which has as it happens been confirmed already by three other admins apart from me. Now drop it. I am fifty years older than you are, and a lot more experienced in wikipedia, and I know what I am doing. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 23:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Fan-cr*pI've replied to your comments. Thanks!--Rambutan (talk) 17:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC) Shane Hagadorn AfDAfter you voted some other editors asked for an unbundle, I don't want to touch your talk text so if you can amend your vote accordingly, and use my contribs to track down the other AfDs. Darrenhusted 00:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC) "Discussion" to "Talk"Hi! You recently said on the thread about the proposal to change the name on the tag that links to talk pages that "Talk means to speak, as if with the mouth. Discussion can still mean writing it." I and Bielle have presented an argument against your argument, namely that it is simply not true! It is safe to say that the entire Wikipedian community calls these pages talk pages, but I believe that, if it meant only to speak with the mouth, people wouldn't do that, because, well, we don't think that anyone is speaking with the mouth here! Wiktionary's entry on talk does say that, as a verb, it means "To communicate to someone else by means of voice." The entry should be improved: the fact is that, when we say (we say) talk pages, we mean pages where we communicate, discuss the subjects, we do talk about them even though we use written words instead of sounds. This dictionary entry is more complete, as it accepts "talk" to mean communicating by any means. We are in the process of gaining consensus for the change. I believe it would be a true improvement, for the link to talk pages to say that it is a link to talk pages. If I didn't understand correctly what you meant by your sentence, and have misinterpreted it, please let me know on the thread or here or on my talk page. If I did understand it correctly, I believe you should change your mind about that, and either not be against the change or stop using that specific argument to oppose it.

I do in fact have iespell installed on one machine, and i am in the process of installing it on my other (problems with the correct version of dot net framework) but I don't always remember to use it.

165.130.249.135 vandalismYou sent a message regarding edits to the Mass Effect page and vandalism to The Wonder Years page. This is a public IP at a retail store, and I would suggest blocking edits so as to prevent vandalism from bored employees. Let me apologize for the hassle my coworkers may have put you through. 165.130.249.134 16:20, 4 July 2007 (UTC)7/4/07 Edit: Looks like you will need to block editting for the entire network: 165.130.249.xx 165.130.249.135 16:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)7/4/07 Can you find a source for this? Despite it being the navy's flag I can't find a decent substitute image anywhere on the web. -N 21:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC) The tallest structures list article pageHi. Regarding your edit that you just made to the article, I don't understand your reasons. Firstly, how is "world trade centres" not a category? There are many buildings in the world designated to be world trade centers, as they were built for the purpose of a world trade center. The disambig page says this, or would that be not a type of structure, but rather a type of usage? Also, what other exsisting world trade centers surpass the WTC's previous height? I clicked the links in the world trade centres disambig pg, and none of them that were actually buidings designated to be wtcs seemed to have a height over that of the WTC, as the tallest one was like only 500ft or so, and the WTC was about 3 times that. If it is surpassed, please indicate the article. Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 21:27, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
"proper English" is in the eye of the beholder. A couple "urs" does not merit such a strict warning. Please be more forgiving in the future. -Wooty [Woot?] [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam!] 05:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Basquiat stringsHi there. I think you marked up [Basquiat strings] for deletion. This band has just been nominated for a UK Mercury prize, which is a really big deal in the UK. It would be ludicrous to delete a page about the band at this point! Please at least google a band or musician before you suggest it needs deleting, because on this occasion it was not a correct call. Moving articlesThanks for the tip, but I already knew that. Unfortunately, in some instances moving a page is not possible, like when there's already a page with that name. That is the only time I cut-and-paste the content rather than "move" it.

There you go then : ), you can replace it with this; you can of course keep both but thats kind of redundant. This is the first Wikipedian's Chain Barnstar of Honour and you have it. Pass it on who knows it may spread to ever admin one day Pseudoanonymous 16:13, 21 July 2007 (UTC) Grammatical errorRe: changing "Gracenotes'" to "Gracenotes's", which I had just noticed. One of my thoughts when I picked this pseudonym (before Wikipedia) was that I could choose my own special possessive case spelling. If Jesus can do it, why can't I? I see that's on the way out, though ;) Cheers, GracenotesT § 02:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC) I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on America's Lighthouses: Their Illustrated History Since 1716. I do not think that America's Lighthouses: Their Illustrated History Since 1716 fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because technically books are not covered by WP:CSD#A7. I request that you consider not re-tagging America's Lighthouses: Their Illustrated History Since 1716 for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. You are, of course, free to tag the article with {{prod}} or nominate it at WP:AFD. Carlossuarez46 22:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Leo ArnaudThanks for the note about Leo Arnaud: In North Carolina about every four years there would do an interview/article on Leo Arnaud from his home in Hamptonville, North Carolina. I did Google and Nexis searches for info on him and home in Hamptonville. The closest I could find today is the Winston-Salem Journal obit of wife Faye Brooks Arnaud, who died earlier this year. Hope that helps a little. I suppose since he died a few years before the birth of the Internet. IMDB is incorrect in this case. I'll keep a look out for any other articles.BorntarheelBorntarheel 05:38, 22 August 2007 (UTC) adminHey. I've seen you around at AfD and elsewhere (some of my afds mainly), and was wondering if you would like to consider adminship. I'd gladly nominate you at WP:RFA if you were willing. Let me know of your decision. Wizardman 15:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Reywas92, are you aware that you have to finish the nomination process, or are you waiting to fill the nom out? Leebo T/C 17:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
