It's official! The first-ever L.A. Wiki Meetup will be occuring on July 25th, 2005. Are you coming? Would you like to help host? More details on the Meetup page. Be sure to check back regularly for updates! - Eric 5 July 2005 10:06 (UTC)

As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

reply to johnte price ?

[edit]

In fact that edit was by somebody else, I only moved it there as it wasn't in a alphabetical order and even though I do not know who he is either and I do not live in the US, As result I have left a [citation needed] mark there. Willirennen 12.00 23 November 2006

Stefan Marinov

[edit]

I replied to your request at Talk:Stefan_Marinov. When you cite references, you may want to include the information as I have it on Marinov's talk page.-- Jreferee 20:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

[edit]
Updated DYK query On 2 December, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Stefan Marinov, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

The Viscount

[edit]

Note that the 1987 comments by the viscount are not relevant to the article on his Puzzle. Please do not add them again. They may be verifiable, but they are not notable in that context. DS 16:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • the reason Ertl stopped promoting the Eternity puzzle in the US is related to that event. So respectfully, I disagree, and I'm adding at least a reference back to the article. Possibly unrelated, but the record of the same incident is continuously removed from the article on the viscount himself, most often by homophobic vandals- that is, vandals who target pages with material about gay rights. Needless to say I'm re-adding that material to that page as well; the information is entirely historical and not often reported by the mainstream press. I'll add this response top your talk page so you see it. brain 16:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Viscountery

[edit]

On whether Monckton is a homophobe, I am not qualified to judge. However, my inforation is that Ertl did not stop selling the Eternity Puzzle in the US, and any actions they may or may not have taken regarding promotional campaigns cannot be conclusively tied to Tatchell's actions. Consequently, these statements cannot be included in the article; please read our policies on biographies of living persons. DS 16:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • no, they stopped promoting it. Please see [1] - there was a big launch planned, with Monckton, and they cancelled it.
      • Thank you for your information; however, kindly refrain from re-adding this information without my explicit administrative approval: there's a problem that needs resolving first. I concede you meant well, but for right now, this information should not be in the article. DS 17:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Bear in mind that this material is controversial, and that Private Eye and OutRage are not necessarily the most reliable and/or neutral sources. This becomes even more important when you consider that Viscount Monckton has complained via OTRS. The URL you provided is most helpful, and I have asked the Viscount for his response. Until such time as that response is provided, I repeat my request that you refrain from re-adding the material in question. Thank you. DS 17:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've entered this move request at WP:RM. Please be sure to vote for it at Talk:Kuroko (kabuki). Thank you.--Endroit 22:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maintaining the yo-yo article

[edit]

I left you a comment on the yo-yo talk page. i'd love to see a dedicated core of stewards emerge for that article, i think its a really important one. It's too hard to attempt alone, i gave up years ago. --popefauvexxiii 09:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I probably wont have much time in the very near future to work on this, but i dug through the page's history, and found a pretty good version here, if youre interested in working some of this into the article in its present form, in the meantime. I think a partial revert to a much older version might also be a good option. i dont presume to throw a work load on you here, just thought you might like some seed material if youre itching to get started. i'll try to check on the page and help soon. --popefauvexxiii 03:19, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suka Off has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt the subject might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

Respect Thread Conversions

[edit]

I'm looking for folks to help convert Respect Threads to wiki formatting on Project Fanboy: WikiFans. Respect Threads, showcase scans of feats performed by comic book characters and have gained an audience on several comic book message boards. A few other wiki editors and myself are trying to convert them from the unprofessional look of a bunch of posts on a message board to the formatting common with WikiMedia wiki's. To view an example of what we're doing, here is a link to Respect Silver Surfer.

I was wondering if you might have time to contribute your comic book knowledge and/or scans of comic book characters performing feats, and help us out with our Respect Articles project?Millennium Cowboy (talk) 02:22, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Hotaru no hikari

[edit]

I have nominated Hotaru no hikari, an article you created, for deletion.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. antilivedT | C | G 11:22, 18 October 2008 (UTC) antilivedT | C | G 11:22, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Twelve Heavenly Generals

[edit]

Hi Brain! Sorry for bothering you. Since you are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject_China/Participants with an interest in Buddhism I wonder if the Twelve Heavenly Generals are known in China. Do you happen to know if they are known in Tibetan Buddhism? Is the Chinese at the start of the Twelve Heavenly Generals article correct? bamse (talk) 17:20, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

minor edits

[edit]

Hello. You are tagging the majority of your edits as minor, including commenting on talkpages [2] and removing references [3]. Please give Help:Minor edit a read to see how it should be used, and if you have the mark-edits-as-minor-by-default preference turned on, please consider turning it off. Thank you!

See also, WP:Linkrot for details on how to fix broken references, which is almost always preferable to just deletion. Thanks again. -- Quiddity (talk) 02:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Craylon gas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cbbkr (talk) 20:20, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:24, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
