Re: PYL edit

It's OK. No harm done. As a big PYL fan myself, I was pretty angered at that guy as well. :) -- RattleMan 23:03, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Senators

Thank you for your response. I changed the navy to red to reflect the home cap color. Even though Lancaster now has a team, I still have some loyalty to the Senators as they were our team when we were young. I am busy with maintaining the Atlantic League pages, but I will create a Harrisburg paper page when I have time unless you want to, and then feel free to create a link from the Senators page. See Lancaster Newspapers for inspiration. KnoxSGT 16:09, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't mind about the edits, I was about to remove the ugly bolding in the article as it violates WP:MOS. Thanks for helping out Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 00:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

WVU-MU rivalry (?)

I see your point about the newness and the rivalry and it not being such a big deal out-of-state WVU fans/students and it being a bigger deal within the state. I have adjusted the note to reflect that divisiion in sentiment among Mountaineer Nation. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

User Box

Hey, that's a schnazzy user box you have there about the Curse of Billy Penn. Where'd you get it? LOL Honestly, I'm glad you liked it. Actually, would you know how to format it to where it could be saved more easily by our compatriots whom feel the same? I'm new to the user box thing, so I'm taking baby-steps in... Jimbo 18:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Frickin sweet! That's great. Thanks for doing that! How'd you go about getting that set up, so I know in case I make some more cool user boxes like that. Jimbo 14:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

"History" (Editors note: Proof that I could still be a noob, lol)

I can't find history in the main game...where is it? Go Futurama! User:Sp3000 06:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

What I mean is that branches come from words used in the main game and I can;t find history in the main game. Go Futurama! User:Sp3000 06:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Just change it to a branch of another word, e.g. thatre or mmovie. Go Futurama! User:Sp3000 06:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Birds article

Can we please reach consensus on the talk page? See you there, thanks. --Tom 23:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

WVU Article

No it's fine. If we put all the losses on there we would have to put the Louisville and USF games on there, which I would hate to see.

Redirect

Add this to the page: #REDIRECT [[Page you want to redirect to]]

Hope this helps. If you need anything else, just drop me a line at my Talk Page. Tlim7882 06:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I took the liberty of fixing it for you- you had it going to Hook and lateral play (football), and it should go to Hook and lateral play (American football). Don't forget that Soccer is known as Football outside of the US. --Tlim7882 06:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Maybe i am taking this too seriously again but i think somehow, the number of branches should be toned down a bit. Simply south 13:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Original 16

That is completely wrong, unless i am completely misinterpreting your statement. If you are saying the Phillies are the most recent Original 16 to win the World Series, that is incorrect as the Cardinals, White Sox, Red Sox, Yankees, Braves, Twins (unless you discount their Washington Senators roots), Reds, A's, Dodgers, Tigers, and Orioles have all won at least one Series since the Phillies most recent title in 1980. If you were saying that the Phillies were the last team before expansion from the Original 16 to win the Series that is also inaccurate, as in 1960 the Pittsburgh Pirates won last World Series before expansion, defeating the Yankees 4-3, on Bill Mazeroski's walk-off home run in Game 7. However, if I have overlooked some meaning in your statement, please reply and explain to me what I am missing. Thanks. --User:Daryno621 16:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I see, my bad. I probably just misread that sentence. --Daryno621

Report of vandalism by 159.134.221.142

Hi. I see you reported an instance of vandalism by 159.134.221.142 on WP:AIV. Thanks for the report, but please read the instructions in the green box at the top of that page; it's really intended for reports of persistent vandalism rather than one occurrence. this may be useful. Regards, Tonywalton  | Talk 13:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Bogus reversion

Please tell me where, in the following paragraph, the referent of "Peter" is spelled out:

The show was memorable for the "Whammy", a red cartoon creature of indeterminate species wearing a cape. The Whammy's spaces on the game board took away the contestant's money, accompanied by an animation that would show the Whammy taking the loot—but frequently being chased away, blown up, or otherwise humiliated in the process. The animated Whammies were created and animated by Savage Steve Holland and Bill Kopp, and voiced by Bill Kopp. Throughout the show's run, approximately 60 different animations were used, and the Whammy became popular enough that at the end of many episodes, Peter would read a "Whammy poem," sent in by a home viewer. "Whammy poems" would also appear after the first round of the big board before going to commercial.

No, it's not in the preceding paragraph either. English is normally read from top to bottom, left to right. The fact that "Peter" is mentioned somewhere else in the article does not excuse the bad writing in this paragraph, which is supposedly part of the introduction. 121a0012 02:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I reverted it because "Peter" is mentioned as the host at the top of the article, and listed as host. I think by that point in the article, the reader would know who "Peter" is.

No, Peter is not mentioned as the host at the top of the article. The only paragraph before the one I quoted above says:

Press Your Luck was a popular American television game show during the 1980s where contestants collected "spins" by answering trivia questions, and then used the "spins" on an 18-space gameboard full of cash and prizes. The person who amassed the most in cash and prizes at the end of the game won.

No mention of Peter there, either. 121a0012 19:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Pennsylvania Route 999

An editor has nominated Pennsylvania Route 999, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion.

Last change

Hey, thanks for the accurate update on the Barnstormers page. It's cool someone else has many of the same user boxes that I do. I too own a Phillies jersey and hat that I wear frequently, as well as for the Barnstormers. I own other jerseys of the Eagles, Sixers, the Hershey Bears, the US men's soccer team, and the USA hockey team. Later.

Dick Trickle

LOL Someone visits Dick Trickle's page? I didn't expect my "contribution" to stay long, but the guys page in general is hilarious because of his name.... (The preceeding was posted by User IP 76.177.85.155)

Commerce Bank Park

I think that the advice about where to sit in the stadium is original research, and therefore not suitable for Wikipedia. The ticket prices might be encyclopedic - I'm not sure whether they should be kept. I would definitely keep the bit about the flood. Andrew_pmk | Talk 10:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I would leave out the section about the batting practice entirely. I don't think that it's very important at what times a team does batting practice, since Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate collection of information. Wikipedia isn't a detailed guide on everything that has to do with this baseball team. Andrew_pmk | Talk 10:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
