Hello. I see that you made some edits to the article on Academy Awards. Specifically, you inserted some "category labels" to the list of the Current Awards. I was just curious if those were actual, "official" titles that you got from somewhere ... or were they just categories that you created on your own to simplify the presentation of the list? Please let me know. Thanks. Please reply at My Talk Page ... so that I will be sure to see your reply. Thank you. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 22:53, 10 February 2008 (UTC))
Thank you for being bold in adding the BAFTA award to the In the news template. However, in the future, please do not unilaterally add an entry without posting it on the Candidate forum first so a consensus can be reached first. Cheers. Madcoverboy (talk) 07:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Bucs set sail.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 03:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Good evening, and sorry for burdening you further. Following your tagging of Gumby Brain Surgery, I wish to air an argument that's been spinning around in my head. It's a fact that giving an adequate abstract description of the profoundly absurd and almost definitionally indescribable Monty Python humor is either outright impossible or well beyond our current skill level. Agreed? If so, then the critical part of conveying to the reader what actually happens in the series requires having a moderate cross-section of the sketches, notability be darned. Darned to heck.
What's your take on this? --Kizor 18:08, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello Zzyzx11, I am having a couple of issues that I'd like to see if you can clear up or answer for me. Here's the whole story. I have been working on article in my user area, "User:Rocketmaniac/Sandbox4". It is about the "2008 Kansas Jayhawks football team". When I went to move it into the main area, I found that I was unable to do so because it already existed. But the what exists is only a redirect to the "Kansas Jayhawks football" article. So I went to the Big 12 Conference talk page to leave a note asking someone to help me with the redirect issue. When I went to save the post, I got an error message saying that my message could not be saved because I had a link that was a Blacklisted hyperlink. I edited the message several times, removing links until I did not have any links and still got this error message. Can you explain what I have done wrong? My signature has a couple of links to my user page, talk page and contributions list. Is this the problem? Thanks for you time. (I've not added any links here as I as worried about the Blacklisted hyperlink issue. The actual links are listed here inside a pair of quotes) Rocketmaniac RT 18:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pittsburgh Steelers helmet rightface.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 03:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm trying to get consensus for a standard format for county navboxes, especially related to CDPs, but only four people have participated in the discussion. You participated in the earlier discussion; would you please join the second one so that we can have a broader consensus? Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 15:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:BS-anleitung3 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>((transclusionless))</noinclude>).
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm hoping you might be able to help. Please read and leave a comment at Category talk:Tournament bracket templates. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 21:31, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I was just curious: since some of the county templates have just one town, and some have more, is "Cities and towns" the best header? Would it make more sense to say "Municipalities"? Nyttend (talk) 04:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NewEnglandPatriotsOld.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 23:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Zzyzx11, there is now a color version of the Joseph Priestley portrait (pictured here) that would be suitable for the Main Page on March 1st. I checked with Awadewit and it is fine with her (see here), although it is too small for the article itself. I can make the change here as an admin, but thought it best to check with you first. I also note the b&w version is protected by you on Commons, so I thought it best to ask. I have also notified Raul654 diff, but have not yet heard from him. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:49, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry I must of deleted the line accidentally when I was putting the info box on the page. It wasn't intentional. Jayorz12 (talk) 04:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Althought I it just almost slipped past my mind to do so a while back, I would like to say a big thank you for the DYK. Willirennen (talk) 11:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I just added a full text of the map's legend in French, as well as its English and Polish translations, on the image's talk page on Commons. I think it would be good to move it to the image's description page while it's still on the Main Page. Alas, I can't do it, since it's protected. Could you please do it (or ask a Commons admin to)? — Kpalion(talk) 11:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
No offence but why exactly did you hide Violin Concerto (Mendelssohn)? I only added that to the page earlier this year after I got it GA status. I've spent quite some time on the article so I'm curious what your reasoning is. Centy – reply• contribs – 11:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Do we still need Image:Rabin at peace talks cropped.jpg here on Wikipedia? You can delete if not, or let me know I and I will delete. Thanks. MECU≈talk 22:16, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Don't you think Divine Brown (sex worker) and Christine Keeler are analogous situations? --Rajah (talk) 01:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
hello there! i noticed your edits and new templates, and was wondering if you were aware that a template already exists for categories. i already moved the special emmy categories from ((EmmyAwardsbyYear)) to ((Primetime Emmy Award categories)) which also already has a section for daytime emmys. cheers. --emerson7 23:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Zzyzx11/Archive19! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY; this newsletter will be sent every two weeks/months.
New recognized content By The Pancake of Heaven!
Task forces We are working to create a new task force within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It hasn't been created yet; but it aims to expand articles based on former and current Pittsburgh Penguins players and articles. Good luck! New Administrators Currently 0 promoted admins! Be the first one at WP:RFA. Featured Topic Drive By Maxim The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY. Notes

As a frequent contributor (or vandal patroller) to the days of the year articles (WP:DAYS), your comments on the current state of the proposed guideline for that project would be greatly appreciated. Discussion is taking place here. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 18:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
I know you deleted my page I was expecting someone to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Crazy Extreme Penguin Dude Guy Person (talk • contribs) 03:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
You wholly misunderstood. This was essentially to merge all the categories, save one (to be used as the parent); and then move all non-userbox pages out into 2 new categories or single parent cat, as appropriate.
Would you mind either modifying your closure, or at least reverting it to allow either further discussion (at "Categories for discussion"). - jc37 01:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:08 NFL Logo.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. The following images also have this problem:
This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
I wonder if you might take another look at this. The only argument advanced in favor of keeping the category was the other similar categories in the parent. However, not every musician has a category and indeed hundreds of such categories have been deleted over the last year. Otto4711 (talk) 16:34, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
I saw your comment on this image from 2.5 years ago. Whatever happened? Also, I saw that you are busy, but I would like to invite you to a project I'm trying to pull off: June is Wikipedia Image Cleanup Month. Any and all help you can provide will be much appreciated. Thanks. MECU≈talk 14:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Should this be deleted? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_SRS/Secret_Page --What does this button do? (talk) 04:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I was wondering if you could assist me with an unorthodox tournament bracket which I would like to look similar to this: Unusual Tournament. Are there any templates that can currently achieve such a bracket? I made an attempt to design one myself but it didn't work out very well. Any help would be much appreciated. Ajstyles tna roh (talk) 11:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I see you've started improving the anniversaries' pages, but there is no additional template. Is anything the matter? Could I help with that in some way? I am too busy to help with the anniversaries, but perhaps a second opinion with the template would be useful. Waltham, The Duke of 14:24, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
In NCAA Football bowl games, 2007-08 the reason that I added the comment was that there were many 6-6 teams left home, and the NCAA decided to add those two games for the 2008-09 post season as they were appropved on April 30th, 2008. It has been done before in the 2005-06 story. NoseNuggets (talk) 12:22 AM US EDT May 1 2008.
...is late, any chance you could post it? Gatoclass (talk) 08:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi ZZ- I don;'t understand your edit summary here, and I don't understand why this event was now removed from the listing for tomorrow. The facts are not in dispute - to say only that the National Guard shot at students is like saying that JOhn Wilkes Booth shot at Abraham Lincoln - the salient point is that 4 students were killed, not that the National Guard shot. I understand the active/passive voice issue, so the way I edited it would cover that. Could you explain what's going on please? Thanks very much. Tvoz/talk 14:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
