[edit] Shooting star press
Just thought id say hi and thank you for cleaning up my Shooting star press article. --- Paulley 07:41, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Miang/Ramsus articles
I noticed that you did an exceptional job on the Krelian article...would you be willing to help start similar ones on Miang and Ramsus? Deckiller 23:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
- (REPLY) Okay, sounds good. I'll start working on a Miang article, although I agree that it will be a project and a half. I would also give you a big hug if you helped me with the cleanup of the lists ^_^ Deckiller 02:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- (REPLY) Looks awesome, I like it! Deckiller 03:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Happy holidays!

[edit] Krelian and Ramsus articles
Heya. I've been reading through the Xenogears-related pages and making some minor edits, and I thought I'd send you a message at Deckiller's suggestion. I've written the Miang article that Deckiller helped create, though it's not finished format-wise just yet (thinking about adding some info about the V-1 Vierge, Miang's Gear), if you want to give it a look. I was thinking that the Ramsus and Krelian articles could use a bit of cleanup, maybe rewrite in some places - as character pages I think they'd better serve the viewer without quite so much plot summary and with more character description, such as info that helps elaborate on a character's motivations, mannerisms and background. The Krelian and Ramsus pages both include quite a bit of info, some of which may not immediately pertain to them but to the game at large, and if it's okay with you I'd like to make some changes. Thoughts? TKarrde 16:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Succession boxes
I find your following suggestion acceptable:
| Preceded by Vacated by Floyd Mayweather Jr. |
Lightweight boxing champion (WBC) 2004–2005 |
Succeeded by Diego Corrales |
However with just filling it with "vacant" it defeats the purpose in putting a succession box
The previous:
| Preceded by Floyd Mayweather Jr. |
Lightweight boxing champion (WBC) 2004–2005 |
Succeeded by Diego Corrales |
Leads to the assumption that Floyd Mayweather lost his title via a loss

[edit] Jeff Lacy and Joe Calzahge succession boxes
Someone keeps editing out my two succession boxes for Lacy and Calzaghe, I could use your help :) Maya Levy 03:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice and yes the Joe Calzaghe article is very abysmally written, but the Jeff Lacy recently was revamped and improved Miss Maya Levy 03:26, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jermain Taylor box
An honest mistake on the Jermain Taylor succussion box, Vacancy filled by, does the job for me... Miss Maya Levy 23:01, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mayweathers
ArcTheLad, May I make a suggestion? Your articles on Floyd Mayweather and Roger Mayweather don't actually say that Floyd won a unanimous decision over Judah. (The reader has to check the footnotes to learn the outcome of the fight.) Thanks for the articles though! Ron.
- The Floyd article does say it already. I was focusing on Roger in Roger's article, but I made a minor edit so that it's clear that Floyd won. Thanks. ArcTheLad 02:17, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marger the template:succession box
I would like to propose to merger Template:Succession box into Template:Championshiptitle because we do not need 2 same templates for articles of boxers. What do you think? --Yappakoredesho 22:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pongsaklek Wonjongkam DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

[edit] More replaceable fair use images
Hi, several of your photographs are being tagged as replaceable fair use images, as they do not meet the first fair use criterion since they are used to describe a public person who is alive, or the use is decorative and not encyclopedic. The following pictures may be considered replaceable.

- Image:CalvinBrock.jpg
- Image:Celestino Caballero.jpg
- Image:Gatti-Ward.jpg
- Image:Acelino Freitas.jpg
- Image:JermainTaylor.jpg
- Image:JamesTheHarlemHammerButler.jpg
Please review WP:FU and WP:FUC, and if you disagree, leave a {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} tag (and please don't erase the notice tag). Thanks.--Mosmof 03:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
