Stromile Swift (response)

Mr. Basketball, this is VASCO from PORTUGAL,

I have been in WIKIPEDIA for about two years, never vandalized one article, and always worked (within my possibilities) for the articles' improvement.

In SWIFT's case, i thought info about all those games and detailed stuff ("scored a jumper", "another jumper", "alley-oop dunk") was too much but, if you think differently, no problem, i'll leave his page alone.

From Portugal, wishing you a nice week, VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 20:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice work

Basketball, VASCO again,

Nice job man, that was a good teamwork (i pointing out, you as a top researcher)!!! I'll be WIKI-seeing you!

VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 20:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

That was yummy

Thank you very much, wishing you a pleasant week again (and hopefully my WikiCake arrives in "good state" as well, as i'm pretty new in "WIKI-technologies"... VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 21:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Romanian communes

Yes good job noticing that (I;ve actually done some in Arad district in the past), I'll add a few if I can but if you create a] I'd suggest adding a relatively empty infobox to save having to add one later -then the map and details can be written in latee b]Adding a standard reference on everyone e.g Romanian Statistics Bureau or whatever deals with it c]Creating new categories e.g Cities, towns and villages in ... county etc. They'll need to be categorized.

E.g if you see Hrastje, Maribor theres no reason why they can't be copied like that with some external links also to search for the place -this method makes it a lot easier later when they develop. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 10:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, there's [1], [2], [3], [4]... If you don't read Romanian I can try doing something eventually. Actually it's been in the news lately: a panther escaped a few months ago and died of strangulation as it was being caught, which led to speculation it was intentionally let out in order to pressure the zoo to move out of its prime real estate, then pressure was put on it to close because of failure to comply with EU regulations, then the government said it would be shut down last month but reversed course a few days later, etc..

Editor Review

I just edited the article you just created. Also, could you review me?--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 02:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do. Also, I edited that article because I caught it in recent changes.--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 02:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry but I don't think you can remove it.--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 02:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. So, how it the war doing?--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 02:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, just don't retire. Many people (including me) would be very sad.--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 02:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

No (I'm thinking it has something to do with the war).--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 02:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I see. Well, are you thinking of retiring or semi-retiring?--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 02:59, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

That is (very very very) good to hear. You are a really good editor. Like you said in my review, this is a hobby, not a job. I know editing here is a hobby for you. Of course you can slow it down a bit, or start editing in the mainspace more. I always see you reverting vandalism, creating pages, ect. And many people would be very sad if you retired (good thing you decided not too). Any comments?--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 03:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I felt more mature saying all that. Well, editing at wikipedia is a hobby for me too. Here is a suggestion or two. If you do feel that wikipedia is "picking at you too much", turn off your computer, and try a different hobby of yours. Or, make a scheduke of how long you should be at wikipedia, we both have school which should take time off wikipedia. I think you should stick with 1-2 hours a day on wikipedia and on weekends, 3-5 hours. Also, if you don't have school on certain days, and you have gone over the 5 hour limit, do some chores, homework, or whatever you do.--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 03:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I am part of the typo team. And yeah, I figured that's why your in a war.--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 03:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

That must be scary to be at risk of a tornado(although there are no tornadoes here). I have only important pages on my watchlist, I don't think I have many articles (or any) in my watchlist. Do you think I should add articles so that I would have a mini recent changes list?--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 03:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I guess I should add the important baseball articles in. So what's your fav basketball team and may I have the link?--RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 03:37, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know or watch hockey. But I do have a kinda (kinda becuase I don't watch it often) favorite basketball team. I would have to say either the Lakers (possibly the Celtics). But I'm pretty sure you know my fav baseball team.RyRy5 ^{Talk to RyRy} 03:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the star. No, I'm not an admin, but I failed an RFA at the end of February. Around a month ago, I was asked by someone else if I wanted them to nominate me for admin, and I asked a few experienced users what they thought. They all said I should wait at least 8-10 weeks after failing an RFA to try again. That would be something between May 1–May 15. Anywho, that last part was just me assuming what you would ask next, I was not trying to be patronizing. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 23:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Gripe

I have a serious gripe with you. You are intentionally posting defammatory comments on my discussion page, which I remind you is a direct violation of wikipedia policy. Please stop, it really is not nice and futhermore is not a good way to encourage people to be more active on wikipedia. Thank you for understanding and I hope that you will not hold a grudge against me because I spoke up against the injustice of the situation. Thank you so much again, for understanding.

Galapagos wikiproject

I forgot you left a note on my talk page a few days ago; saw your name pop up on my watchlist just now when you reverted vandalism on Galapagos Islands, and it reminded me. While I've considered joining WP:ECU, I haven't done so because (a) I'm not really a joiner type, and (b) I have an interest in, but no special knowledge of, Ecuador. That's even more true of the Galapagos. My main contribution to Ecuador and Galapagos Islands is having them watchlisted, and reverting the frequent vandalism. That said, I don't know enough about WikiProjects to know if a Galapagos WikiProject is needed, or likely to succeed. Perhaps ask at WP:ECU, if you haven't already? Good luck. --barneca (talk) 22:19, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the Freeriding page

You changed my re-working of the "Freeriding" page. I changed it back.

There are multiple entries in Wikipedia referring to "free riding" and "the free ride problem" in the stock market. This practice is more commonly known as "free riding" than "freeriding" in this context (it's also referred to as free-riding) - whereas in snowboarding, "freeriding" is known only by that name. Snowboard freeriding has spawned similar movements in many other sports - references will be appropriately added.

There is a reference on the "Free riding" page making note of the fact that "free riding" the stock market is also known as "freeriding" and "free-riding". "Free riding" the stock market does not need two identical entries, so there is no problem with editing the "Freeriding" page (especially due to the fact that the snowboarding term is more widely known than the stock market term).

The current changes to the "Freeriding" page is just a start. Further information will be added as it is compiled.

Charles Kelly —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charleskelly (talk • contribs) 02:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

The stock market already has a page called "Free riding" - so if you really think they ALSO need a "Freeriding" page (in addition to the OTHER pages referring to the subject), perhaps you could create a page called "Freeriding (the stock market)"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charleskelly (talk • contribs) 02:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar. I really don't deserve it though, cuz you're the real editor. May the Wiki-force be with you, too. RC-0722 ^247.5/1 18:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you name one thing I've done to deserve it? RC-0722 ^247.5/1 18:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

No, unfortunately he hasn't. He probably won't be on today either, because he's watching the reds game. RC-0722 ^247.5/1 18:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I'll start right now. RC-0722 ^247.5/1 18:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, Thanks for the link. RC-0722 ^247.5/1 19:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll make it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cleveland Cavaliers/Newsletter/Archives/5. Is that OK? RC-0722 ^247.5/1 19:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, thanks, I'll get right on it! RC-0722 ^247.5/1 19:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Does it go out on the 13 or 14? RC-0722 ^247.5/1 19:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. RC-0722 ^247.5/1 21:44, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

It looks like a start class article, if I were you, I'd head over to WP:FOOD and get somebody to rate it for you. --Sharkface217 18:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Thank 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 19:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Los Angeles Lakers Newsletter

Cool. I didn't see the question until a few minutes later. BTW, I just got my last adoptee. I am only allowed to have 2 adoptees. Her name is User:Strawberry Sara. I also redesigned her userpage with my old userpage design.--RyRy5 ^{Got something to say?} 02:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Reply...

Not bad... I assume you took the design from somewhere, did you? Maybe the Celtics newsletter or something. O.o Thisisborin9^talk/_contribs 06:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. How about being original with the newsletter (own design....) :) - Milk's favorite Cookie 18:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:Um...

I'll review it. I'll have to update my status first.--RyRy5 (talk) 00:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

It was a "long saturday's work". It just needs to be wikified (which I did a little of). It does have references BTW. Any comments?--RyRy5 (talk) 00:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

This one. But you should replace the image with a diff image of Laker Statium (or whatever it's called).--RyRy5 (talk) 00:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

That's just a word he used. I replied with "permit" becuase he said "permit: to me. It's nothing really.--RyRy5 (talk) 00:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

What do you think of this?--RyRy5 (talk) 03:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

2007 Chicago Shamrox season

Can you clarify what is confusing about this page? Thanks --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 02:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, I made some updates to the text at the top. What do you think now? I'll probably rework it a little more to describe who the Shamrox are first and then talk about the fact that it was their inaugural season. I've done a few other teams as well, and I still need to expand the opening of those pages. Note that you put the "confusing" template on there less than 1/2 an hour after the page was created, and it is still a bit of a work in progress. --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 22:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Admin

No, I'm not. -- Roleplayer (talk) 23:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I am extremely flattered that you have asked, though I would never leave this website alone! I am in the throes of a Masters Degree in real life and would have to seriously consider how that would effect my studies. Can I think about it? -- Roleplayer (talk) 23:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Having slept on it and thought about it I don't think it would be a good idea at present. Thanks for asking though, it means a lot! -- Roleplayer (talk) 09:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Reorginized

I reorginized my userpage. Also, please reply to my recent comment on the section that says Review.--Ryan (talk) 01:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, that's why starting a new section would be great. I can't really see your comments unless I check the history. Well, I have a GAN on review. It's the article Jackie Robinson. How about you?--Ryan (talk) 01:29, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if Jackie Robinson will be a GA soon. It's been on review for about 18 hours. I guess nobody has reviewed it yet.--Ryan (talk) 01:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the Barnstar. I can tell you and your colleagues have done a lot of research on the article, so it is a pleasure to see it through to GA status. Thanks again! --Eustress (talk) 23:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
