Hope to see you there, Basketball110 20:19, 9 March 2008 (UTC) The article "Arkansas" has been chosen for March's project collaboration. Voting has begun for April's collaboration. Hope to see you there, Basketball110 23:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC) I've already created it, and the newsroom, but will wait to send it out. I invited Chetblong, and if he joins, we will have 6 members. Basketball110 00:16, 10 March 2008 (UTC) What will the bot do? Basketball110 00:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Oh, that! Well it's actually not much of a trouble. Mavs, Celts, Suns, Cavs, Arkansas, and homeschooling, but don't program it for that (homeschooling). As I said, it really isn't that much of a trouble. Actually, delivering a newsletter is more enjoyable than you'd think. Basketball110 00:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Oh, also DFW, but that one I also wanted to keep. You're right, it will make it easier. I wanted to keep the homeschooling because it's a bit personal (not homeschooling it self, but the project... did I say Arkansas? Oh no. Scratch that! There is any hope of not including Arkansas in the bot is there? Basketball110 00:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC) And yes, the edit summaries are still 100%. Basketball110 00:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Thank you. I had just remembered that Chet wanted to deliever that until our project reached 50 members. Basketball110 00:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC) I was thinking about a Bulls Project, if there are 5 willing potential victims members. What do you think? I was thinking Bulls because of Jordan and the franchise he made in Chicago. Basketball110 00:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC) I'll do that sometime this week. What will the bots name be? Basketball110 01:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Yeah, that would be it. Is the baby up and walking yet? Basketball110 01:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC) I got a little ahead of myself.

Some notes: You don't need to have sizes when it's landscape-oriented photo. Sizes, however, must be added for portrait and panorama photos. Did you see the hidden comment at the end? You have to delete that and the category below it (that category declaration is for the starting template itself). I don't think Mila's first language is English, so it needed some copyediting just so the text would be grammatically correct and make sense (I had the hardest time understanding one sentence until I figured out a comma was needed). Likewise, feel free to copyedit it so that it's not so redundant. The blurb doesn't have to have every single detail that it's in proposed caption. Remember -- short and sweet. It was too long. Try not to make the text go beyond the top and bottom edges of the picture. Link to the user page when it's a Wikipedian who takes the photo. See the diff to see what I did. --howcheng {chat} 02:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Last comment? I have no idea what you're talking about. --Sharkface217 02:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Lol, it's cool. I have no idea what's going on half the time either. --Sharkface217 02:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC) I would say it's a hoax by a bunch of idiot kids. If they didn't use a proxy/dynamic ip addresses, they're going to be visited by the cops tonight. --Sharkface217 02:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Somebody also said it was a proxy; this would make sense, as it is possible the route is always changing. I would bet good money that if it is indeed a proxy, the person responsible routed it through Tor. And yes, I would bet good money this is on CNN tomorrow. -Sharkface217 02:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC) God willing, it's a hoax. --Sharkface217 05:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC) I did a Google search and came up with no hits. Looks like it was a hoax all along and there was no mainstream news coverage about it. --Sharkface217 02:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC) Questions Three of them. I'm really busy this week because my term in school ends (I have 6 tests in 3 days). Actually, I have to go study pretty soon. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 21:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Wow. We actually have a test that taket two days. Sometimes it's really hard to like algebra. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 21:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC) That must be impossible.

Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 23:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC) While patrolling recent change, I saw that some of your recent edits are without edit summary or somewhere you used edit summary like with a symbol +. So I thought that I can tell you about the necessity of edit summary so that you can be aware of this fact. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 23:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Goose POTD Getting close, but a few things to note: No sizes are necessary when it's a landscape-oriented photo, as we go with the default sizes. Watch your grammar: "it's nest" -- "its", not "it's". Don't make up facts: "Unlike most birds..." -- this is not stated anywhere in the article. Find something more interesting: The fact that it's a unique member in its genus and family (pretty rare) as opposed to its nesting habits and egg count is more interesting (IMHO anyway -- I guess this is a bit more subjective). Link the title to the article. Add the texttitle (no link), which serves as the alt tag and also is used to make the link for "Recently featured" on the Main Page. Don't forget to delete the last few lines -- the hidden comment and the other category. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 04:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC) Deletion (CSI) Excuse me, since when did I copy the text from other website? I did copy the names of the guests, the airdate, the writers name.

I think these are supposed to be good articles, not perfect articles. :O   jj137 (talk) 23:03, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Yes, the good thing is that it shouldn't be too hard to get it to FA once we get it to GA (if we ever do).  jj137 (talk) 23:16, 10 March 2008 (UTC) (unindent) Lol.   jj137 (talk) 23:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC) They could probably still use a little touching up... but yeah, I think the ref section looks really good.   jj137 (talk) 23:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Looks good.

STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 22:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC) Well, yesterday, someone on the Rays charged the Yankee's catcher and broke his wrist (he is out for 8 weeks). Today in the first inning, the pitcher for the Yankees hit a Ray on the first pitch of the game (some people think Joe Geradi told him to do so). This resulted in three ejections (the pitcher and two coaches). Then, Shelly Duncan was running to second and slid spike first right into Akinori Iwomora and caused Johnny Gomes to charge all the way to second base and started the brawl. Shelly Duncan, Johnny Gomes, and another coach all got thrown out. A bit of overaction for Spring Training I think. I expect a fine and some high tensions this season... STORMTRACKER 94 Go Sox! 22:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC) It was on ESPN a few minutes ago. Hope they don't get Pacman, that would be a huge blow to the team's off-field reputation.

Basketball110 01:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC) The bot does that too? Basketball110 01:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Whachoo talkin' 'bout? It's ready! Basketball110 01:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC) I've got a question. Is there a way to change the size of a signature? As you can see, I could really use it.

You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. RFA I think it's OK to reply here. Hmm... honestly I think maybe we should wait just a little while longer.   jj137 (talk) 21:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC) It's better to be safe than sorry.   jj137 (talk) 21:59, 14 March 2008 (UTC) I really think it's better to wait - if it fails because "too soon" (or for any reason), it will be a loooong time before you will be able to succeed. And trust me, after having the tools for 10 minutes you will realize that they aren't worth any hype.   jj137 (talk) 22:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Ok then. :-) I just remembered (lol): aren't you moving to Cape Cod tomorrow?   jj137 (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Well, obviously the final decision is yours, but you should be at least 99% sure it will succeed. (If it doesn't, things won't look too good.)   jj137 (talk) 01:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC) I want to nominate you for adminship. Just letting you know, I would like to nominate you for adminship. I've bumped into you several times while on here, and I decided to check out your page. I'm frankly quite impressed with your level of contribution, and I think you make a great candidate for adminship. If you accept here I will submit the nomination page. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 22:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the offer! However, I already have a nominator, and am planning to run soon. Please feel free to vote during the day though! Thanks, - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC) I understand. I saw the conversation with you and Jj127. I was going to withdraw this because I figured because of that, it probably wasn't the best time to nominate you. But anyway, I certainly will contribute to your RFA when the time comes. I eventually want to be an administrator myself (although I don't have thousands of edits per month!) and believe that I can be a better judge of when I'm ready for that if I participate in RFA discussions myself. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 22:48, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Right now... admin! That the sig I have right now, yeah. Time to nominate: it's March 15, 00:08 UTC! I was wrong: one more hour! Basketball110 23:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC) When will it take place? Basketball110 23:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Well, today I guess I can start on a Suns newsletter. Will you be creating the new Celtics edition? Cavs made some transactions, so I guess I'll work on that too. I'll soon have to create the Bulls, also. Basketball110 23:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC) 3 people still had to vote, which could have "secured" it for Eric Snow, but chances are they would've voted for Cavs. Feed this to the bot, but wait one minute so that I can go back and write that the article was chosen. Basketball110 00:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC) I think it's worthy enough to send out. Not to go against WP:Deny recognition or anything, but I would like to have some credit on the newsletter. Is there anyway of sticking my name in the fine print? Basketball110 00:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC) I'm not sure if I understand. Could you clarify? Basketball110 00:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC) ...I put that on the bot's page? Basketball110 01:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Sort of like that? Basketball110 01:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the smile! Today or tommorow, I should have the Suns done. Basketball110 01:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC) There is no new news for the Suns. We have different feautred articles, and a reminder to swing by the collab page. Should we still plan to send it out soon, or wait for news? Basketball110 01:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC) I found some (news, that is). It is Suns related, but... well, I should let you see for yourself. Basketball110 01:27, 15 March 2008 (UTC) It's ready! Basketball110 01:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Would you like to write for the Bulls newsletter? It's the next one. After that is Celtics. Basketball110 01:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Okay. (Note: I must create it first.) Basketball110 01:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Could you find an image that we could use, for the Bulls? Basketball110 01:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Great! Would you set up our newsroom? Basketball110 01:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Great work! All we need to do now, is to fill in the blanks!

But Without a Trace (season 2) and Without a Trace (season 3) definitely are not copyvios of the URL you cited. The content may well have been on answers.com before those articles were started, but answers.com took the articles from List of Without a Trace episodes (and if you look at the top of the page here it says Wikipedia was the source. Hut 8.5 19:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC) I suppose it's possible the user searched for some text to copy and accidentally found some that same from Wikipedia. Never mind, no harm done. Hut 8.5 19:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Before the articles (Without a Trace (season 1-4)) created, the short synopsis of the episode is written on the page List of Without a Trace episode. So I don't think the articles Without a Trace (season 4) violated the copyrights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.208.215.204 (talk) 05:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Nerd Cabal Will you join my new cabal that I started?

Something that looks like handwriting. By the way, could you make the background transparent? The Transhumanist 23:18, 15 March 2008 (UTC) I think I can find uses for the version that looks like my signature. Please keep it as a separate image of its own. I'm not sure what font to use for the banner - I'll have to look around and will get back to you on it. By the way, could you make the background of the current banner transparent? Also, please remove the "TM". Thank you. The Transhumanist 23:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC) The current background is white. A "transparent" background is none, that is, it just uses the background that's already there. See Transparency (graphic)#Transparent pixels. The Transhumanist 23:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC) What program are you using, GIMP? The Transhumanist 23:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC) I see, the problem isn't transparency, since it has to be opaque to cover up the page title. It's a matter of setting the background color of the transcluded page to the same as the talk page background color. I think I can track that down. Thank you for making the logo's background transparent. The Transhumanist 08:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Yarg Yeah, I guess I'll get on that now... give me a few minutes. --Sharkface217 23:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Barnstar thingy The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar For taking the challenge and warning 600 vandals, I, Sharkface217, hereby award you this barnstar.

Thank you for you time - Nothing444 01:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC) WP:AWC You can't get that award using articles sponsored before this challenge was put up. Furthermore, you need to sign up there before you go for the award with another 15 sponsorships. I realize the redundancy, but had to include it because some people will try to include previous AWC sponsorships to their total. So, if you wish to go for the award, sign up there (which you have done) and then sponsor 15 articles. Sorry for the confusion. --Sharkface217 02:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Difs please. I just checked WP:AWC and I don't see the changes.

I thank you very much for the barnstar and I'm glad to see that somebody (besides myself) reads WP:AWC. --Sharkface217 03:06, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Sure, take what you want. If I remember correctly, I originally stole them from User:Nishkid64. Also, if you're looking for more useful templates, see my command center. --Sharkface217 03:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Newton's Cradle I made an update to the image of Newton's Cradle that you nominated for Featured Picture candidacy to address some concerns brought up by opposition. I put the update on as an alternative to the original on its FPC entry. scetoaux (talk) (My contributions.) 03:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC) STOP EDITING Since every users in wikipedia thinks I violated the copyrights. I now announced I will stop editing any page of wikipedia since March 16, 2008. And I'm still INNOCENT, so stop asking me to admit something that I did not do after I stop editing wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JiaAn94 (talk • contribs) 05:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC) It's me again The Original Barnstar This barnstar is awarded to Milk's Favorite Cookie for his wide-ranging edits and help to the English Wikipedia.

Basketball110 21:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC) I was just wondering, I really didn't want anything now, but I will want something someday... Basketball110 22:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Stormtracker94 has asked to join the cabal. Basketball110 23:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Wow Wow   jj137 (talk) 04:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Well, yeah. Here is the story.   jj137 (talk) 15:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Lol. I've seen that before somewhere... and this explains a lot, I think.   jj137 (talk) 15:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Yeah, I'm trying to keep it manageable.   jj137 (talk) 15:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Wow. I knew I was on it for protects, but not for deletes. :)   jj137 (talk) 15:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Well, yeah, I saw. I meant I saw it a few weeks ago, and then I wasn't on it for deletes.   jj137 (talk) 16:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Adoption Can you adoptme now? Just put adoptoffer userbox on my userpage or talkpage. Nothing444 16:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC) So you officially adopted me? Nothing444 16:22, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Adminship That is okay.

Nothing444 17:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC) News I thought I should get it out of the way now instead of later. I am not going to be as active if not inactive with editing on Wikipedia. I have other things now to keep me busy. Like a house, school, support my Red Sox =), and a girlfriend to keep me occupied. I have really enjoyed this time with you guys and value your friendship. I will still continue to check my talk page, so I'm not retiring. Of course, I'm still doing the fantasy baseball league. Feel free to ask me questions about this on my talk page. Once again to make it clear, I WILL STILL CHECK MY TALK PAGE, SO IF YOU WANT TO TALK OR CHECK IN, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. Thank You!

I de-tagged and copy edited my latest one, which is the Ahlen water tower. Enjoy. --Sharkface217 19:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Just finished with Helmut Yström. I think I'm done for today. --Sharkface217 19:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the barnstars. --Sharkface217 19:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC) It was my pleasure. Hopefully, I'll have time to do more later. --Sharkface217 19:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC) That's just embarrassing... I've always wanted to have my own bot simply because, even with the sheer number of anti-vandalism bots/anti-vandalism humans we have working, Wikipedia is huge and sometimes stuff slips through the cracks. --Sharkface217 21:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Why don't you look into running your own bot or bot-clone? I'm sure somebody would love to give you an anti-vandalism bot. --Sharkface217 22:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Ah, a newsletter bot? Nice! That's good to hear. Later on, can we amend it for an AWC newsletter? I was going to program my own for that one but I haven't worked out all the kinks yet (like what content would be delivered each week/month). I would definitely trust you with a counter-vandalism bot, although I've heard that they're hard to get approved. Good luck with your quest. --Sharkface217 23:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC) It doesn't look too hard to use. I'll add AWC to that sometime later this week (need to plan on what'll be added, reported, project news, etc.). --Sharkface217 01:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC) Guestbook Can you please be the first to sign my Gloruis Guestbook . It would mean alot to me. Nothing444 19:48, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Re Guestbook Thank you so much! By the way, do you have a guestbook I could sign? Nothing444 19:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Re:Newsletters Should I add it to the bot's page when the newsletter is ready, or just anytime? Juliancolton (St. Patrick's day) 19:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Well, I didn't know if I added the main newsletter newsroom, or specific issues. Now that I think about it, it does seem pretty obvious. :) The Tropical cyclone's newsletter should be ready be early April, so I'll add it when it comes out. Thanks, Juliancolton (St. Patrick's day) 19:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Re Re Guestbook Guestbook signage done and done. Nothing444 19:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Secret Page Do you have a secret page? I loved to find secret pages. Nothing444 19:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Re Secret Page Its okay--I think I'll make one. It'll be so cool :D I'll tell you when its done.
