User talk:Dinosaur puppy/C
You voted both support and oppose in this RFA, with your support coming first (after #13 on the list). User:Miranda struck out your first vote (the support), which seems to make sense, but I thought I'd check with you to ensure that is what you wanted to do.

Support & Oppose
editYou left two contradictory opinions on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Boricuaeddie. Andre (talk) 02:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
WPV collaboration
editI saw that suggestion, and my first impulse is that it's a great idea. I'm going to give it a bit of thought before I pipe in, but my initial reaction is that it could be just the thing to get some juices flowing.--Kubigula (talk) 04:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Good morning or evening (depending on your location) T Rex | talk. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your comments on my Rfa application. I believe I now hold the record for the quickest closure! However, that does not negate the input and insight gained. Once again, thank you and have great day. Shoessss | Chat 12:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship. Unfortunately the nomination did not succeed, but please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Wikipedia project, and I'll try again in a few months! If you ever have any questions or suggestions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, --Elonka 06:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Re: Impersonator
editRe your message: Yeah, I know. I missed blocking that IP by a fraction of a second. Jaranda beat me to it. That would have been nice if I issued the block. =) I'm not sure who that is. The IP has no other edits, so it must be somebody else I've blocked using a different IP. Oh, well, not the first time and I'm sure not the last. -- Gogo Dodo 06:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Image experience
editThank you for commenting on my RfD. I understand the concerns about my being involved in CSD, with what can be considered insufficient proof I understand the criteria for these deletions. But I was surprised to see your objection based on insufficient experience with images. Untagged images are labeled by OrphanBot, and OrphanBot also notifies the uploader of the problem with their image (an admin deleting these images would have to verify that OrphanBot appropriately tagged the image and that the uploader had actually been notified, of course). I was unaware of ways that normal editors could help out in this area. I would appreciate any advice you have regarding this. LyrlTalk C 01:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks again for your comment on my RfA, which was successful, and also for your thoughtful suggestions. LyrlTalk C 01:10, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello WikiProject Ice Hockey/Participant
editI am an advisor to the National Hockey League. With your help over the next few months I plan to review and correct any information on wikipedia relating to the National Hockey League, its franchises, players, executives and partership organisations. I am here to provide you with information. Your work is appreciated. --NHLsource 18:19, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi dinosaur puppy, though the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum is a part of the Smithsonian Institution, it doesn't have a presence in Washington, so your addition of it to the district project surprises me. I am curious what your thinking is on this. Thanks. CApitol3 12:27, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Washington D.C. Project
editThere was sufficient interest on the proposed projects page to start it, so I created the page. I am now joining the project. I'm afraid much of my effort, at least probably for the next month or so, will be directed to trying to "sort out" the various articles relating to religion, of which there are a lot and many of them not yet assessed or even tagged, but hope to be getting to work on the other projects as soon as that's done. John Carter 14:28, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Washington DC Template Question
editI noticed you added the DC template to several different stations which is great. I do have one slight problem. Some of the stations don't make it into the DC area, ie: WPER, WINC-FM (only makes it to about Arlington), WAZT-CA (barely makes it outside of the county it serves), WHSV-TV (part of the Harrisonburg DMA]], My Valley and The Valley's FOX (also part of the Harrisonburg DMA]].
These really don't make it near DC, with WINC-FM probably the only slight exception. Would it be possible to remove the DC Templates from the other stations (ones in other DMAs and ones that don't serve DC or Northern VA) and leave the one on WINC-FM, since it does make it fairly close)?
Please let me know and I will be glad to take care of that for ya. Also, let me know if you need any help with putting the templates up. Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 18:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- Okie Dokie :) I didn't know about WINC-FM making it to DC. I know they have one helluva broadcast area, but I thought their city-grade signal stopped right about Arlington. Full disclosure: I live near Winchester. Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 19:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have never been to DC (so close, but never got there) so I was taking my Dad's word for it (he works all around DC).
- I removed the templates from [[The Valley's FOX], My Valley, TV3 Winchester (which is only on cable in Winchester), and WAZW-CA. After taking a look at the FCC site, I noticed that WJYJ (part of the WPER simulcast) does make it into DC, so I left that one be since it is for both stations.
- Also, I noticed WVPT after my first message, but I also left it be, since it is available by DirecTV throughout the DC area (which I always found weird) including DC proper according to the DirecTV website. - NeutralHomer T:C 19:11, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
My edits
editI HAVE given my sources and they get deleted anyway! You can't just say I use no sources when I DOCorey Bryant 19:10, 10 August 2007 (UTC).
All right: the 1972-73 season of the hockey project I gave my sources as The New York
Times, Eddie: A Goalie's Story and They Call Me Gump by Gump Worsley. Now I don't mean to make a personal attack, but Croat Canuck took it down anyway! This tells you something about how the staff of the hockey project runs things. They call something "POV" when it isn't. If it is legitimate, they take it down ANYWAY. I suspect personal spite: I'm the only person who contributes and they are jealous of this---they never attacked me before the 1966-67 season on their hockey project. Yet ALL OF A SUDDEN NOTHINGI contribute is good enough for them. If I attack someone personally, it is that I am frustrated with the people of the hockey project. They have earned it.Corey Bryant 20:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
GA examination and text
editHello, thank you for taking the time to compare 2007 Texas Longhorn football team vs. the GA criteria. However, I think perhaps you made a cut-and-paste error? It seems you meant to fail the article, but the text you put in says that you are promoting it.[1] Could you please stop by and clarify the post so as to reflect your intentions? Thanks again for your review. Johntex\talk 16:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Adoption
editYeah, I have a fairly good idea of what I am doing. I tend to copy-edit or remove vandalism more than add content. My problem is that I don't always have a good idea of how far I should go, I get a little carried away with what is or isn't vandalism. See Aliens in America especially the talk page and page history. Although my intent there was more to follow Wikipedia rules than to defend the show (I though everyone was getting a little POV, but I may have crossed a line). Eran of Arcadia 18:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your GA review of James "Honest Dick" Tate. I have attempted to address your concerns. If you find further issues that need to be addressed, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope you will be able to pass the article. Thanks. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 02:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- It seems to me that the more appropriate search is "James Tate" OR "James W. Tate" OR "Honest Dick Tate" Kentucky, which didn't turn up any new information. Apparently, there have been several notable people named James Tate. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 12:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Earthquake
editThe major problem is that it was one strong earthquake, not the two or even three that were initially reported. That's the problem with trying to be fast on the draw. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- The initial initial report was a 7.9, a 7.5, and another 7.5, which was really bad. Then they cut out the 7.9 and one of the 7.5s, and then later bumped the remaining 7.5 to 7.9. It's all confusing. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Odd Ref on Earthquake Article

Image copyright problem with Image:Virginiaplate.jpg
editThank you for uploading Image:Virginiaplate.jpg. 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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 14:18, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I will continue most of my regular actives but I am also going to try to get many Linux articles up to GA status as well as trying to get some previous Linux FA back up to FA. As for future rfas i am pretty sure I will try again but I am not going to put a date on it. --Chris G 12:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Three 6 Mafia
editThat's fine do whatever you want, Three 6 Mafia can be hip hop at times, but there is no way that they are more hip hop than gansta rap. Just listen to any of their albums and they are claiming they're ganstas and rob people. If you want to make the article look cute, keep it the way it is. If you want to tell the truth, make them gansta rap. Trust me, I know. I have listened to them since '94. But I appreciate and thank you for your explanation.Kskk2 01:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

The current vote count stands at 5 Keep 1 Delist (your initial nomination). I don't know if you've done so already, but could you re-review the article to see if you still believe it to be below GA standards?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jokerit.gif)
editThanks for uploading Image:Jokerit.gif. 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 05:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Dinosaur puppy/C! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been more new thing going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in August, there's been great changes. Read on to find out! Maxim(talk) This just in:
New recognized content By Maxim Especially due to the featured topic drive, there have been many new featured lists promoted concerning NHL awards. Here's the full list of all the 13 FL's promoted since the last newsletter.[1][2]
There have been no new good articles or featured articles. Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has been given A-Class status due to multiple issues raised at FLC.
Did You Know? By Maxim
Featured Topic Drive By Maxim Started by User:Scorpion0422, the aim of this drive is to make NHL awards a featured topic. A featured topic is basically a set of very high quality articles (good articles and featured articles/lists). In this case, the topic is NHL awards. Many users have helped, including Scorpion0422, Resolute, Serte, Hasek is the best, Maxim, Croat Canuck, Spike Wilbury, FutureNJGov, and T Rex/Dinosaur puppy. The progress has been very good; there are 12 featured lists promoted, and 2 good articles:
Check the project page if you are interested in helping out. Although it's closer to being done than not, there's still work to be done. The next topic that might be tackled is Stanley Cup, but this remains purely speculative and in discussion. |
