Hello there!
You have been invited to enter C4v3m4n's Contest!.
The contest is designed to provide users with a challenge while still having fun! This month's contest is focused on Movember, a month designed to to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression in Australia and New Zealand.
Follow the link given above to find out more information. Hope to see you there!
I was just about to message you to say thanks for blocking those two accounts, and then you messaged me! Anyway, thanks, and I suspect that I will be needing more help with blocking. If they are as persistent as getting around username blocks as they were with IP hopping, it could take a while. I have a long vandal list that has a string of IPs on that all adopted the same vandalism patterns, both in articles attacked and the method of that attack. I don't know enough about IP addresses to spot a pattern to know if a range block would do any good. --Ged UK (talk) 10:39, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

On performing a prolonged Google search, I was able to find that P. T. Rajan graduated in history from Jesus College, Oxford. I am not able to determine the year of graduation with any certainity. All I could find is that as early as February 1911, P. T. Rajan had applied for Trinity College, Oxford and his candidature had been rejected by the President, H. E. D. Blakiston following which he joined Jesus College. The Oxford University Calendar for the year 1927 mentions "P. T. Rajan - (BA) Jesus College - 1915" in a list on a page 802 but I am not sure. I am looking for more sources-RavichandarMy coffee shop 06:52, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Category:College radio stations in Oregon. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedy-deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Kbdank71 17:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
What needs to be done before the article meets the FL criteria? I'll exhaust as many options as possible and add as many alumni and faculty as I can find, but surely it will never be completely comprehensive so I won't be able to ever argue that it is. Gary King (talk) 21:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Barbadian classical musicians by instrument, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Barbadian classical musicians by instrument has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Barbadian classical musicians by instrument, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Yes, certainly a little over-categorised. But I'd suggest reinstating Category:Christianity in Wales unless you could suggest an existing category which encompasses better the historical development of Non-conformism than do Category:Christianity in Wales, Category:Welsh theologians and (particularly) Category:Welsh Anglican priests. In fact this last one, although factual, seems a little ironic. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:49, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

The one who died in 1762 was not a baronet. The 4th Baronet died in 1684. I've moved the article of the Nova Scotia one to John Salusbury (diarist). I'll look at the article history to see how the misinformation got in. Choess (talk) 18:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Would you consider semi protecting Christopher Hughes? The vandalism was completely stopped during the month it was semi protected starting 21 September 2008 (not sure if he went somewhere else during that time though).

in Wikipedia you can find pages about James Byrd case, or Jena Six. There is little coverage about racist assoult of Jan Pietrzak and Quiana Jenkins, but the case is on the raise. It is controversial case for many and a public issue, so give it a chance to developed the article. The couple was killed by 4 black men from the same marines corpse and the true motive might have been racial hatred. JAn Pietrzak was white and his wife black... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soul23 (talk • contribs) 01:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, thanks for your message. How the time does fly.
I don't get to edit much these days, as most of my wikitime has always been spent reading and then editing; alas, most of my editing time has been gone for a while though I log in for an hour every day.
So thanks for your continued good work, you are certainly doing a fine job. Keep it up, and happy editing to you.

I don't know what other articles redirect to Nigel Hamilton (civil servant). I moved the article because it actually contained a reference to the other Nigel Hamilton whose article I am finishing up. Arguably, the author is far more notable and should be entitled to the entire Nigel Hamilton with the other guy being found through the disambig page. But I really don't foresee having the time to fix every link. You can if you wish to do so. Sorry. Ip208man (talk) 04:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for restoring the talk page. However, that version still has the underage poster's personal info at the end of it. I had thought Todd was in process of deleting the whole page and then restoring it MINUS THAT INFO. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 13:55, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Ok, here we go:
Over all you do better than most... and way better than some, but there are a few places where you've used the incorrect rationale. A little too frequently for my tastes. There is also the one case which should not have been speedily deleted. I give zero credence to the argument that it would have been deleted via AFD/PROD, therefore I'm just saving time, and invoking WP:IAR. The policies and guidelines were put in place for a reason and as a part of the consensus building of the project. They are there to ensure that people don't go rogue and to give authors the benefit of the doubt. When it comes to CSD, I am an inclusionist (when it comes to AfD, I'm a deletionist.) The difference is that at AfD, the author has a chance to make a case and to try to salvage the article. Most admins won't delete an article at AfD where somebody is making a concerted effort to save it (at least until the AFD period is up.)---Balloonman PoppaBalloonCSD Survey Results 04:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Justiceiscoming (talk · contribs) actually did attribute the source of the page he or she copied over into article space (look at the bottom of the page as of the first edit). In light of that, you may want to attenuate the message you sent him or her somewhat, specifically the bit about copyright violation. Thanks. --Dynaflow babble 03:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey! I'm still hanging on to life, amazingly, though I think I've forgotten pretty much everything I used to know about Wikipedia (sigh). I haven't had ready computer access for the past year or so now, but now I'm staying in a friend's flat for a week while he's in Africa, and I entertained the idea of taking advantage of being out of the stone age to do a few articles. Hopefully I'll be able to re-learn...
How've you been? It seems you've made quite a lot of progress! Congratulations on the adminship, and the load of new content. CA387Talk 23:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Firstly I'd like to apologise for holding up this FLC with an image review, but there was a request for one. Personally, the whole image issue annoys me and having it all managed out of our hands (Commons) doesn't help. Anyway I have commented on one to try and explain where I was coming from.

Okay, great. As well, would you mind taking another look at the criteria discussion at WT:WIAFL? There is a proposal with some support and I would like to get as many opinions on it as possible. Thanks, Scorpion0422 21:25, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
I was looking the Orders and Medals Project talk page and found your old message. I figured you might not notice the reply I just added so I thought I should come here. Any way...
This is probably too late but an excellent book is Royal Orders by Hugo Vickers it is available on the internet and at some libraries. It contains a chapter on the award, containing details on recipients as well as a series of sections on the awards to many members of the royal family, those with the RV Chain will have the year mentioned as well.

Hello, I think we've hammered out a good revised Featured List criteria here. If this passes, there will be quite a few FLs (my estimate is somewhere between 60 and 75) that could soon be delisted just because of 3b. With that in mind, I'd like to get comments and opinions from all FLC regulars and everyone else who has participated in the discussion before it's implemented. Thanks, Scorpion0422 17:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I saw that. It is without doubt an excellent list and I'll be the first (okay, maybe the second) to support when you bring it back with the additional chaps. Good luck. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
