Please imagine a different catchy song:
Just to keep you updated, I have split-off one of the article's lists and put another one into table form. Since your objection in the FAC appears to be based on their being too many lists, I hope you will review the article to see if you feel your objection still stands. Thanks! Staxringold 14:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC) RfAI notcied that you participated in the Michael Woodruff featured article discussion, so I thought you mihgt want to vote in the Rfa for Cool3, the creator at WP:RFA. ShortJason 15:13, 27 May 2006 (UTC) Thanks!Thanks Ryan, that is high praise indeed! Thanks for your encouraging comments. At one point I actually left Wikipedia for about, oh, I think an hour until Jimbo Wales emailed me and gently told me to pull my head in :-) I must say though, that after having read the text of the Patriot Act my mind has gone somewhat numb. However, if I may be so bold, the Patriot Act is neither so bad nor so good as either the proponents or detractors are spouting on about. Certainly there are aspects to the Act that aren't terribly good (several sections of Title II need amending, and in fact this may have been done by the Patriot Act reauthorization Act - I haven't checked), but a large number of the sections are very much benign. I think Slate put it best:
Apt, I must say, and it's the position I currently hold. :-) Ta bu shi da yu 16:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
RonneburgThank you for contributing this article! I have announced it at Portal:Germany/New article announcements and on Portal:Germany. If you write more about Germany-related topics, please announce your articles there. Thank you, and happy editing! Kusma (討論) 03:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC) Yes. Thanks very much for translating this. It's great. jmd 01:19, 29 May 2006 UTC Pashtun peopleHey, thanks for your input. I added stuff to the culture section. Check it out and tell me what you think. Ciao. Tombseye 06:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC) Thank you for your comments on this article's FA nomination. I appreciate your input and would like to ask you to check back on the article again, as I have made some improvements. Rrpbgeek 03:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC) I think I have adressed most of your objections. Please comment, and feel free to find new objections! Kusma (討論) 14:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC) Expanded the lead per your request, hopefully it is enough to garner your support on the FAC. Thanks for the comments either way! Staxringold talkcontribs 01:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC) Could you have another look and see if you still have objections to it's nomination for featured status? Thanks --Mcginnly 13:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
FA Voting, Royal Grammar School WorcesterHi, thanks for your comments regarding this FA candidate. I've taken on board your advice, and the article now has footnotes, and one extra reference. I hope the article now meets with your approval for FA, and if not, I would welcome any more comments you have. --Wisden17 20:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: German TranslationLooks a lot better, thanks! I had almost forgotten about that request, came across a few such one line stubstubs while working on subdividing the writer stubs about half a year back and requested a bunch of translations for the ones that had sizable articles in other languages. Good to see they are getting some flesh on the bones now :) --Sherool (talk) 08:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC) ExplanationIn your objection on the United States nomination, you stated how the lead is not comprehensive. Just to make it clear, the lead is suppose to be a short summary, and not every war the country went through should be mentioned. It did talk about the U.S. expansion to the present day 50 states and many overseas territories, before it jumped into the mentioning of the World Wars.--Ryz05 t 13:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC) FA votingHello Ryan, Following extensive overhaul of the article Enceladus (moon), all objections (including the lead) were addressed. Would you mind taking another look at the article and update your "weak object" vote? Thanks! :)) -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 15:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC) Wikibreak and graduation Have a nice Wikibreak, and congratulations on your soon-to-have-occured graduation! That's very exciting! -- Natalya 18:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC) My RfA RyanGerbil10/Archive 2, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again!

A haiku of thanks
I'm honored that you only have positive things to say about me - thanks so much! -- Natalya 04:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC) Chicago, Illinois - cleanup projectI saw that you had previously worked on the Chicago article and commented on it during past peer reviews and FACs. At the moment, I am in the middle of a massive cleanup project and was wondering if you are able to assist in any way. If so, please contact me on my talk page. PentawingTalk 03:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
GraduationCongratulations, now you can enjoy your holidays :-) --Tone 08:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC) Selena FACI quickly fixed the first comment, but I don't understand the second one about the tone. Can you clarify further. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 04:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Wilhelm HenselLooks great, thanks! Angr (talk) 06:34, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Binary starHi, Thanks for commenting on the FA nomination of Binary star. I have tried to take care of your objections. Regards, Nick Mks 18:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Jakobus MorengaThanks for the translation, the article is great. --Peta 00:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC) United States article nominationThe explanation for your objection is how the lead lacks mentioning about the Civil War, but there now is a mentioning of it, so I like to ask you to reconsider your vote. Thank you.--Ryz05 t 17:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC) Chicago climate dataI saw your comment about the climate norms in the Chicago article. I was not the source of those numbers, and I agree they don't match what I've seen elsewhere. I was the source of the avg wind speeds used in the Climate of Chicago article. For that article I used data compiled by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC, part of U.S. Dept. of Commerce). In my opinion, all Wikipedia climate data on U.S. cities should use NCDC data, since that's the "official" government source. NCDC's policy is to average the last 30 years data, and republish every 10 years. That's one potential cause of confusion, as today's climatological norms for any given city represent the 1971-2000 period. The wikipedian who contributed the Chicago weather table might have been using a different 30 year interval, or maybe an average of the whole meteorological record (130 years or so). To be honest, I'm not really bothered by the fact that the article's data looks wrong. All weather averages should be taken with a grain of salt. Even before there was any talk of global warming, I think most climatologists recognized that weather is so chaotic and unpredictable that the word "normal" is misleading.InNuce 18:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC) JW FAC nominationYou mentioned a few things. I was wondering if you could post some more specific examples of what you're talking about. For instance, you mentioned the lead-in is not long enough. How long do you think the lead-in should be? You also mentioned sections that were too short. Can you give me an idea of what sections you were referring to? I submitted the article to Peer Review. It got no comments. Thank you for your comments. joshbuddytalk 03:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
TranslationThank you very much for translating that important article. The translation seems very professional. Good work ;). - Darwinek 21:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks!Hey Ryan, Thanks for the congrats. P.S. I liked the note at the top of your talk page, that's one of my favorite episodes. ;) —Khoikhoi 00:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC) Nauruan Tribal WarThanks for translating Nauruan Tribal War. It looks good. The outbreak must have been a strange time! --Scott Davis Talk 09:55, 10 June 2006 (UTC) Super Mario 64Regarding your nom of SM64 for FAR - you mentioned that you thought it might not comply with WP:MOS. Could you clarify that? Which sections of MOS were you referring to? Thanks! The Disco King 14:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC) AlbertosaurusDon't suppose you would mind commenting on our Albertosaurus article at FAC, would you? Thanks a lot! Sheep81 11:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC) Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ulster and Delaware RailroadI removed most of the boldface lettering from the article. And what do you mean by "the referencing is insuficcient"? Kschwerdt514 01:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Please revisit Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Poetry; I believe your concerns have been addressed. Thanks, Sam 23:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC) Chicago, Illinois - now on peer reviewI have placed the article for peer review and continued to improve it where ever possible. Could you be able to look at it and comment what else needs to be done? Thanks. PentawingTalk 02:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC) Knights of ColumbusThanks for the comments on the FAC Knights of Columbus page. I've addressed both your concerns, I hope you will support it now! Briancua 05:18, 16 June 2006 (UTC) Tetris AttackAbout the Tetris Attack edits I made, well, I was assuming good faith on your part, Ryan, but I merely just disagreed with some of the changes you made. Sorry if it rubbed you the wrong way, I'm just a big stickler for grammar. Switching between British and American English spellings can, often, and (in this case) does cause edit wars. In essense, the entire thing is pointless--switching the spelling doesn't usually change the meaning anyway. I only switched these spellings back so I could easily make one whole revert (sorry if I was being lazy!). So that's why I switched neighboring and levelling back. I had to switch the semi-colon back because you were using it to separate a dependent clause from the rest of the sentence, and you're supposed to use a comma for this. A semi-colon is not the correct thing to put there. Microsoft Word's spell checker isn't always the best resource for big, obscure words such as "replayability". Try typing a chemistry report--it tells you that every other word is wrong, it seems! Replayability is an acceptable word according to another Wikipedia article. Thanks for bringing up the discussion. I hope this won't lead to an edit war. --Brandon Dilbeck 05:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC) Thank you for your support Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuiviénen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC) Paper Mario trivia sectionHmm... well, one idea would be to move the information about the Koopa Bros. to the part in the "characters" section where they're listed and to move information that concerns other games to articles about those games. I'm also considering just removing some of the information that doesn't seem very useful or can't easily fit in with the article or other articles.--Conrad Devonshire Talk 04:34, 19 June 2006 (UTC) Signpost updated for June 19th.

Message delivered by Ralbot 23:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC) Hi, you asked me to provide a possibility for imperial units on the infobox for German towns. I guess I'd have to make a second version then, that allows for both imperial and metric units. It might take a while, I'll let you know when it's ready. I just added links to metre and square kilometre to the infobox, I hope that helps for now. Markussep 20:12, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
ff7 nominationThank you for the proper comments for opposing the nomination! It helps me and makes me learn more on how to fix it. -ScotchMB 23:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC) German translations pageOverhauling this is very necessary, thank you for starting this. I just wonder whether you might also want to change the formatting from *'''Corresponding English-language article''': something to ;Corresponding English article: something which gives a much nicer code display as in
Also, WP:TIE seems to have started using this format. Many people don't know about the ";" thing, it is not widely used in Wikipedia, so I thought I'd tell you about it. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 21:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Back from LAI'm back and I had a great time. Anonymous__Anonymous 10:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC) Fixed your request. I hope you will be able to support now. Thanks, Spawn Man 23:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC) WP:FACQuibble. Unless you meant squabble? :-) Bishonen | talk 01:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC). No he didn't mean squabble. I've left you a message at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Belton House. No quabble isn't a word - but I could be pursuaded to think it is if you were to be amanable;-)Giano | talk 07:33, 23 June 2006 (UTC) ActuaryThank you for your constructive criticism and comments on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Actuary. I have responded to them there, and would appreciate your response to help me improve the article. -- Avi 02:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC) Simcity 4The reason I removed the section is that it is empty. The guidelines for stubs and stub sections are that you don't create it unless you have some sort of minimal expansion on the title. As it stands, the section could be pretty ambiguous - so anyone who edits it may put the wrong information in it (regardless of comments hidden in it). Surely if someone has information about the subject they would create the section anyway. I still disagree that it should be there - it adds nothing to the article at present, we aren't supposed to be using sections as 'for rent' signs IMO. -Localzuk (talk) 08:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC) A short Esperanzial updateAs you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter. As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections. Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC) Wali khanhi I am looking for some feedback on an article I am working on.. wali khan was a well known opposition leader and former freedom fighter in pakistan..I think the article needs a bit of copy editing so your feedback will be appreciated Zak 13:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
