Peru

Thanks. I was just curious, because it has been protected for so long. Corvus cornix 01:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi!

I don't believe that adding RfA's to WikiProjects falls under the scope of a "friendly notice" as described at WP:CANVASS. Also, please revist WP:POINT, as its application to my edits certainly does not apply gaillimh^{Conas tá tú?} 04:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I've already suggested many a venue for a third opinion and a fresh set of eyes on the talk page of the AWNB and haven't received a response (even though people have showed up to re-insert RfA's in the notice board). gaillimh^{Conas tá tú?} 04:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Out of Order

I suggest you read this discussion and have a serious think about whether you are suitable to perform administration functions on this site. You are out of order. --GeorgeWilliams 07:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry - I did mean to post a courtesy link here to the discussion at WT:CRIC, but I wanted to test the opinion of the Wikiproject before bringing it up with you. Unfortunately, I have been beaten to the punch. For what it is worth, I also apologise for the invective that others have aimed in your direction: I can understand why you deleted the recreated articles, although, you will see from the discussion that I think there is a good case for reinstating then, even if only temporarily. One solution that we have been discussing is to aggregate these short articles into a longer overview. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello - I can see that you're willing to adopt some people through the Adopt-a-user program. I'd be happy if you could adopt me, as you happen to be around when I've been on Wikipedia, and I'm really lost. Thanks! Social Studiously

Adoption

Thanks - I didn't know that I couldn't create pages. Is there any group of editors that edit solely articles related to aircraft and airports? Social Studiously 11:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I saw Elaragirl's Talk Page Guidelines and I thought I'd like to establish something of my own, or have a header like yours. Social Studiously 11:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I would love to get Lar's header! Can you help me at all with this? Social Studiously 12:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Take a look now at this new page Social Studiously 12:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm looking at adding some userboxes. Social Studiously 12:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Can You Adopt Me?

I am in serious need of help because I have continuous problems with people accusing me with "advertising". I had so many problems on my old acount that I put it on a Permanent Wikibreak. I need help neutralizing the articles I edit. Can you adopt me?--Mxc140 01:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I need to log onto my old, wikirested account first.

My old username is cwest1171995. The inserts are Providence Marketplace and Providence MarketPlace. Thanks Again! Meet you there!

Well, Here I Am, And Was!

Can you look at Providence Marketplace and give me tips on my talk page? I appreciate it.--Cwest1171995 02:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Adoption

I fixed up your {{Adoptee|[[User:Gnangarra|Gnangarra]]}} template. I did some experimenting and you only need to do this:

• {{Adoptee|Gnangarra}}

to make it convert to

with the Gnangarra changed to Gnangarra. Social Studiously 12:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Royal Brunei

Hello, Gnangarra.

I would like to move Royal Brunei to Royal Brunei Airlines, as even the article itself states that Royal Brunei is actually Royal Brunei Airlines. When I flew with them last December, they even recognised it as Royal Brunei Airlines. Thank you, Social Studiously 12:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

It's mentioned on the page itself as Royal Brunei Airlines... Social Studiously 12:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, so I should bring this up? Can you help me? Social Studiously 13:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I had already prepared a huge intro when you jumped in :) I have edited the page accordingly. Social Studiously 13:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Can I put your comment under Support? Social Studiously 13:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

So the week stall will be when we can close the discussion? Social Studiously 13:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Do I put the {{move|Royal Brunei Airlines}} template on the main article page as well? Social Studiously 13:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I thought it was fairly uncontroversial, but I couldn't move it because Royal Brunei Airlines already exists as a redirect. I have to go, see you tomorrow. Social Studiously 13:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Giraffe

Hi, you semi-protected Giraffe about 3 months ago. I'm assuming whatever vandalism was going on must be long finished by now, perhaps it's time to unprotect it? (There may be a more appropriate official method of getting pages unprotected, but I don't know what it is). --Xyzzyplugh 17:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Cleaned-up

I cleaned-up Providence Marketplace by putting a history section, with about 4 new references. I also removed all of the non-marquee retailors, and also removed many tags. No tags have been added upon since! I also removed compeditors, except for one, which foiled its original plans for an indoor mall in the 1980's at the same site! Hope you will like it. However, I approve of the move to its proper name, Providence MarketPlace. I have put a temperary link to it, until the move can be implimented.--Mxc140 18:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Just Delete It!

Can you please delete Providence Marketplace? According to the adopt page, you are an administrator, therefore, you can delete pages. I have tried redirecting it to Providence MarketPlace, but now, it is now up for deletion. I agree completely. I would rather get rid of the wrong title, than anything else on this page. can you do this? I will just update my Providence MarketPlace entry. Can you just get this out of my hair?--Mxc140 23:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Presbyterians

Sorry, should have mentioned this two weeks ago but forgot. When you deleted and userfied User:JRG/List of Australian Presbyterians, it was previously raised that this was a copyvio from here. The original author admitted he'd copied and wikified the list in his early days. So, in summary, can a copyvio exist in the userspace? Thanks for your help --Steve _(Stephen) ^talk 02:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd prefer you not delete it - it's helpful for me to use the list to build up a proper list of people - and it's not strictly a copyvio as it is a referenced source (by various links) - it's really a single source page which is just extremely bad researching. If you want you can delete all the headers so there's just a list of people's names. JRG 13:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for that. Hesperian 03:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Query

Hello

I would like to get a stub, or an article that hasn't been created yet, and raise it up to new heights, such as the 'good article' or the front page featured article. Suggestions? Social Studiously 10:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Helena Valley

Seems to have attracted flies- could you deal with the second red link who seems to want to do the same? Thanks you have email as well SatuSuro 14:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Henry Peninsula

Can you just check the last few edits - i think this guy is vandalising the page like he has done to the Aquinas one - but im not too familiar with the topic - this is his change: "The MAMSJH Foundation, started in 1990, seeks to rejuvenate plants and oxidise flora on the timeless peninsular. It is most well-known for the "Bank-sir for Banksia Day" on July 12th of each year. " check it out, thanks Twenty Years 10:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

speedy of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Paull

hey there I don't disagree with your assessment, and Kevin Paull has been speedied.

Would you make the same assessment for any/all of the following:

• Robert J White (headmaster)
• Mark Pownall
• William Thomas Bryan only a captain of the 1st AIF
• Bevan Lawrence - brother of a politician

If you'd agree - what do I need to do to speedy an article? Note: I haven't got a mop handy, nor do I want one.Garrie 05:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Garrie - we can't speedy an article because the subject is not notable. We can only speedy an article because it makes no assertion of notability. All of these articles contain assertions of notability, so they are not speedyable. You would have to take them to AfD, for the community to decide whether the claimed notability is sufficient. :-( Hesperian 05:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to you both for your comments, I hadn't had anything to do with speedy deletion before and was a little suprised when it came out that way for Kevin Paull. I will group AfD the above articles excluding Lawrence. To me it seems Bryan is only notable in the context of AC (unless he did something remarkable, and becoming a captain (1 per infantry company - 100 or so soldiers) is not in itself particularly remarkable).

Pivot Stickfigure Animator

Can you suggest something? Social Studiously ^{My Editor Review! -} 11:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

There isn't much information available, I'm afraid. Just so you know, a primary source is a source created during the time a person is looking at, and a secondary source is a source created afterwards (like a modern-day book describing the Third Servile War). A primary source is not when the source is created by the developer. That's social studies! Social Studiously ^{My Editor Review! -} 11:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok. But in history, a primary source is a source created during the time a historian is studying. Social Studiously ^{My Editor Review! -} 12:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for your Support on my recent nomination for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 89/1/1. If there's anything I can help with, then you know where to find me. Cheers. - Michael Billington (talk) 10:41, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
