Mario Kart DS

Hello, Adam murgittroyd. As a player of Mario Kart DS online, I was wondering if you would be interested in participating in weekly online tournaments for fun. I have an interest in starting up scheduled games in some way and to gauge interest for the game. If you are interested in this possibility, please e-mail me at KramarDanIkabu@gmail.com with MKDS in the subject line. Thank you for your time. KramarDanIkabu 00:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles

Hello, adam murgittroyd. I see from your user page that you love the Beatles (In that case, it appears we have something in common). What is your favorite song of theirs? -Turbokoala 17:25, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your userpage

Alright, thank you for using shortcuts instead of copying the source code to put userboxes on your userpage.

Sadly, your userpage is in Category:User templates which it shouldn't be and should be taken out of it. If you know the cause for this please message me so that I can fix it.

Also, please put the remaining userboxes you have in code into your subpage, or I will for you. -PatPeter 17:43, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-There, I did it for you as it was a tedious process you probably would not have done. -PatPeter 17:53, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Hey Adam, don't worry about mentioning something over at the Brawl talk page. It is odd that Walmart's website would say that shipping would be at the end of March. However, the only real source on that information is Nintendo itself.

If you do have anything worth mentioning about Brawl, go ahead and leave me a message on my talk page. I've found that with the number of comments that people leave on the Brawl talk page, some people immediately jump on it and (perhaps harshly at times) say see Nintendo.

I just don't want editors to be scared of making edits on the Brawl article because of how "bitey" the talk page can be. --Son (talk) 02:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided - one is April 8 (Wednesday) starting at 6 pm and the other is April 18 (Saturday) starting at 10 am. (Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration.) Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 03:32, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Washington-user!! What do you think of this category?
Either on a scale of 1-10 or with commentary.
Let me know through the "Special:EmailUser/" section. #TTiT# 10:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by The-Traveller-in-Tacoma (talk • contribs)

Re: MLS 2011 table ideas

Hey Adam, I saw your post in the 2011 MLS season table template, and I thought of a few ideas:

A column revealing the team's last five matches, whether they were a win (W), loss (L) or tie (T)
- I.e. -- W-W-T-L-T
A column of each team's home away record
Perhaps a column with an "E" or "W" signifying the club's conference alignment

Thoughts? Quidster4040 (talk) 19:39, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These sound like good ideas, but I'm not sure there's enough room for all that. What'd you think about my idea for PPG stat, and where in the table should it go? I can also add E and W, but i'm not sure where. The last 5 would be nice, but hard to keep accurate, but we can try, just not sure if we can squeeze in home and away records as well. --Adam (talk) 02:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2013 Major League Soccer season positions by round

Where did you come up with the positions by round? MLS doesn't keep them and it's actually fairly difficult to calculate. Unlike European leagues where each team plays the same number of games each week, MLS is unbalanced. An editor insisted that he was correct and so I gave my evidence at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 79#Positions by round, second kick. In light of that, I removed your table. If you have a spreadsheet or source that adequately answers the calculations I provided in the project talk, please provide it. If you want me to read and respond here, please place a talkback template on my talk page. Thanks. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:27, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have extensive spreadsheets of 2011, 2012, and 2013 MLS seasons, and the Positions by Round that I included earlier on the 2013 MLS page are calculated within them, using point totals and tie-breaking rules for each team after X games have been completed by each team, and only uses those games. In my spreadsheets, I have a standings table for each "round." For instance, currently, each team in MLS has played 27 games, but some have played more. But I have a 27th Round Table that only uses the first 27 games that each team has played, excluding more recent results. This gives accurate Positions By Round regardless of when each team plays their Xth game. I can provide screenshots of these spreadsheets, and the spreadsheets themselves if desired; they are Numbers spreadsheets, but they may be able to be converted to other programs. Please let me know what I can do to provide the best proof or reference. (The edit earlier today took several hours, so I'd really appreciate being able to keep it up) --Murgittroyd (talk) 02:50, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this on the football project's talk page. You appear to have met my requirements and WP:CALC says that it's a reliable source, but I would like to know what other members of the football project think, and how to verify your calculations. Listing MLS.com as your source is not valid though. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:49, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Same-sex marriage in the United States, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael McShane (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:48, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: WompMobile (March 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Graeme Bartlett was:

If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Proposed deletion of T. Irving Crowell

The article T. Irving Crowell has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Biographical article cites no sources. A search found trivial mentions of the subject in society pages of newspapers but no significant coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
