Excellent copyedit on the article, it was long over due.--Crossmr 03:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate what you are trying to do with The Sims 2. I don't want to discourage you from your present course, but I would like for you to know that what you see there will be changing drastically in the next couple of days. I'm working on a new version of the article at User:Braindrain0000/The Sims 2. I would appreciate your input there. I'm still wikifying the article with links and references, but I would appreciate comments on the content itself. Thanks. --Carl ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you're trying to improve the article. It's really terrible and all over the place right now. I just ask that when you begin to make your changes that you pay mind to what I've added and subtracted from the article. --Coltonblue 00:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. It needed to be done, with 4 more Eps coming and several more stuff packs, I could image it getting out of control in regards to length.--Crossmr 19:27, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you might find this handy, User:Lightdarkness/ARV puts a little "report" tab above a user talk page. When clicked it pops up a javascript input box where you can input the reason for reporting them to the vandalism board, and it takes care of the rest.--Crossmr 19:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To what are you referring? I reverted him 3 times and you reverted him once, as I reverted him 3 times, I left 3 warnings on his talk page. I in no way prevented you from leaving a warning if you chose to.--Crossmr 00:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It may have been an edit conflict. I know when I was in the process of reverting him, I left a warning, and went back to the article to notice my revert wasn't there and it was either you or the other persons who's name was there. That might be what you were referring to. I certainly didn't intentionally step on your toes.--Crossmr 00:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at the timeline, that's exactly what happened. I clicked revert with popups and had his talk page open in another window. You probably clicked a second before me, and it doesn't give me an error. By the time the page reloaded, I'd already given him the warning.--Crossmr 00:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Understandable. Not intentional in the least bit, but regardless I'm happy to have him dealt with.--Crossmr 01:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's the way it is on many many articles. But they don't want to go down the path of requiring all editors be logged in, goes against the philosophy. About half the articles on my watchlist I cringe when I see an Ip as the last edit (especially when there is no edit summary). Very rarely am I pleasantly surprised.--Crossmr 01:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Braindrain000: Thanks for watching for people who come through and do destructive edits on the thermodynamic temperature article. I have a auto-assigned I.P. address and sometimes get a new one when I run two computers at the same time. I didn't notice when I did my last few edits that I was doing so when I wasn't "signed in" because Wikipedia didn't recognize me. I appreciate your vigilance.

The United States government is generally regarded as the authority on defining the names of metropolitan areas and this area is referred to as Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area by both the legislative branch of government (United States Congress [1]) and the executive branch of government (United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census [2]). Is there an explanation why 'Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area' is given a preference over the official government name of 'Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area'?

Hi Braindrain0000! Thanks for helping out with the Polar coordinate system article: I've been the only one who put real work into it for a while, so it's good to see that other people are also interested :-). Have you considered joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics, by the way? See you around! —Mets501 (talk) 04:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I saw where you went back to the original GIF image on complementary angles. I replaced it with my own because I felt that illustrations of basic geometry are better represented with a vector image. In this case, I thought the image quality wasn't quite as good as some of the other images on other geometry pages. --Carl ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! I didn't mean to change back the image. I actually wanted to move the template at the bottom of the article, but I must have also accidentally changed the image. Thanks for letting me know :-) —Mets501 (talk) 16:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hope we take from this that in the future, there is no point in negotiating with vandals, it only makes them feel empowered.--Crossmr 01:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the cite. Regarding the problems you were having with the ((cite web)) "accessdate" wikilinking, the template documentation says:

accessdate: Full date when item was accessed, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2006-02-17. Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically.

• ${\displaystyle {\begin{matrix}\underbrace {\begin{matrix}\underbrace {4^{4^{4^{4^{4^{.^{.^{.^{4))))))))} \\4^{4^{4^{4^{4^{.^{.^{.^{4))))))))\end{matrix)) \\4^{4^{4^{4))}\end{matrix))}$

You rock!

I wrote that subsection and was dreading trying to figure out the LaTEX for that last expression. Thanks for working on it.

Oops: I notice now that it's wrong. Those towers of fours are tetrated. That is, they should ascend to the left from the base 4, not to the right as in ordinary exponentiation. Do you want to figure it out? Kaimiddleton 21:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi: thanks for your reply on my user page. I found this via google. Also there's the entry for tetration. Here's an example of the LaTEX:

1. ${\displaystyle {\ ^{b}a= \atop {\ ))((\underbrace {a^{a^{\cdot ^{\cdot ^{a))))} } \atop b))$

I reverted the changes you made to that article. Until svg versions exist for all of the insignia on that page, the advantage of having images that use the same colors and are correct with respect to each other in their relative proportions outweigh the advantages of using the svg format. Once versions of the three insignia on that page that are not yet svg-ed exist, changing to svg makes sense. Caerwine Caer’s whines 08:05, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Louisville is sprouting its wings for 2007! We have a new Assessment Department and a much more refined project template. We have nearly 1,000 articles catalogued for our project. And we still have a lot of work to do. We have 500+ articles left to assess for quality, and all our articles, as always, need tender loving care. Please consider dropping by the project and seeing what you might be able to do to move Louisville-related articles forward. Cheers, and Happy New Year!

You noted that UPS Airline's impact on Louisville is minimal, but UPS's annual sustainability report mentions that UPS itself contributes roughly $600 million to the local economy every year, and the 90 or so companies who have moved to Louisville due to UPS's presence have contributed $1.2 billion. UPS is Louisville's largest employer (over 20,000 and growing). UPS Airlines, Worldport, and Louisville are so intertwined that I don't think UPS Airline's article could be categorized as "low-importance." --SquidSK ^(1MC•log) 09:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My intention is not to burden the Louisville project by cruftily inflating the airline's importance, but it's one of the largest airlines in the world (number 8 right now, I believe). I'm really not that concerned about it (i.e., no further action required), but I hate to see the airline's importance to the Louisville economy denigrated. --SquidSK ^(1MC•log) 03:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Secant-Secant_Theorem.svg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris 08:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:VanHooseEducationCenterLouisville.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Thomas Merton Center (Louisville) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Thanks for uploading File:Hogan's Heroes Title Card.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Braindrain0000! I am Galendalia (talk · contribs) and I am reviving the WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia. I noticed that you signed up at some point to be a participant and as I am reviving this project, one of my tasks is to get the participant list in order. Would you please go to the Participants List and add your name and language(s) you speak? If you are already there and do not want to be, please remove yourself. If you want to remain, please put remain next to your name. If I do not see anything, I will move you to the inactive participant list. I am putting a timeline of 7 days on this action to help keep things moving along. It would also be great if you would be willing to join the task force for Pronunciation that would be awesome, as there are troublesome words we run into. Thank you for considering joining us. If you decide to leave, I will be sad to see you leave as so many people have done a great job on the recordings and any work you have done makes a significant difference.
