Future candidates

Well with most of the articles that have been worked lately still on GAC, I was thinking that we should work with this month's candidates, just looking at some I consider Luis A. Ferré and Luis Muñoz Marín as potential Good Articles if footnotes are provided, what do you think? - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I have done some work with Ferré, I'm going to go out in a few minutes but will continue the work later tonight. About the image, its probably a good choice the current one is too dark. - Caribbean~H.Q. 22:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a new administrator!

Thanks, October! Thank you for voicing your opinion in my RfA, which passed today with a unanimous 79/0/0 tally. It feels great to be appreciated, and I will try my best to meet everyone's expectations. If you have any advice or tips, feel free to pass them along, as I am sure that I will need them! Cheers, hmwith talk 21:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Heya! :)

Hey, I noticed, in my daily broken redir search, that you have a few pages in your old userspace, that are broken redirs. I'm trying something new today... so, I'm letting you know, instead of just deleting them :) SQL^{(Query Me!)} 07:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Mi RfA

Gracias por tu apoyo! You three, including Caribbean H.Q. and Tony, formed the centerpoint of my RfA, since I work with you guys on a daily basis and know me best. Like I've said before, I was humbled by the list of supporters, which has certainly set the bar very high. Hopefully, I can count on all of you for counsel and support when the going gets rough. Thanks again !! - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 10:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Solo faltas tu... - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 10:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hehehe :)

Je parle un peu français, aussi xD Jealous! Yeah, I've been doing a bit of the same. I recently removed virtually the whole project space from my watchlist - it was being a dick and causing me stress, and already I feel better. Got an FAC, and FLC, and an FPOC running, with another FAC waiting in the ranks when the first one is done :) Thanks, by the way!  — Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 07:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the sincere salutations (Is that a word? OK, I admit it, you win :p)  — Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 07:34, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

World Cup

Ok this might seem random, but the Wiki World Cup is going to start soon and I believe Puerto Rico needs to have representation in it, you are probably one of the most active users within WP:PUR and the quality of your edits is superb, would you be interested in representing us? - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Your old account name

I thought you may want to know that I've had to block your old account name. When I was checking the automatically-generated list of new users, a vandal called Ryulong Ryulong Ryulong Ryulong created the account, as shown here. Sorry about this Agüeybaná. Acalamari 03:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

What in the name of Odin?

You left a message on my talk page, stating you deleted Image:Cubs-barrett1.jpg on the grounds that it was an unfree image. The Author gave me person to use it under a CC-2.5, even though the original image says NC. He gave me written permission, which I even stated in the image's summary. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 04:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Where’d I see that picture before?

I thought you'd be interested in something on this Georgia Tech press release Web page. Scroll about 60% the way down. Greg L (my talk) 06:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Re:Hello

Thank you Agüeybaná for the nice welcome back comment glad to see you too :) Arnon Chaffin (Talk) 13:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

User:jerwpa

That was quick! I go to create the account and it says it already exists. —Ignatzmice^talk_contribs 16:07, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

No trouble!

The trouble? :) Ha, ha, there wasn't any trouble. :) I was more concerned in case you had any problems with the block or anything. I suppose, however, you can say that that vandal must be a fan of you by the fact they created an account that was your old name! :) Acalamari 16:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

More U2 related stuff

I think that the great majority of them have topped/been on charts somewhere, and U2 is a highly notable band. Love, Neranei (talk) 02:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, they've only been around 30 years or so...:-) Which ones in particular were you thinking? I can get to the discography "In A Little While, (sorry, bad U2 puns are my specialty), I'm just dealing with some FLC stuff. Love, Neranei (talk) 02:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Replied to email, opposed (for now) the FLC.  — Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 07:47, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

E-Mail

You've got mail.... SQL^{(Query Me!)} 11:48, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

List of U2 Awards

Well, you came to the right girl! (I am a really big fan.) :-) How about we split up the sections? How do you want to do it? I'm a little busy today, but I should be able to get some work done in the next few days. I'm really happy to help; I started on it but got sidetracked. Love, Neranei (talk) 22:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, sounds good. Hey, how about, after this, we work on U2 discography? I've done quite a bit of work on their articles, but I'm not good at coding, and you'd be great on the coding. I'll work on finding sources for all of the awards, and we can go from there. Is that OK? :-) Love, Neranei (talk) 22:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Excellent, I've started on the refs. :-) Love, Neranei (talk) 22:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

That's great! I'm still working on the references, we should be getting there. Love, Neranei (talk) 01:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Eddie, I just wanted to let you know I'm up to 1992. We're getting there! Love, Neranei (talk) 01:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Update: I'm done with the references, I'll start tabling it like you did. OK? Love, Neranei (talk) 03:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I think it should be divided by year, like the Powderfinger thing. What do you think? :-) Love, Neranei (talk) 12:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I personally think that it should be formatted like the Powderfinger thing, is that what you meant by your comment? (Sorry, I didn't quite get what you were saying.) Love, Neranei (talk) 21:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Just tell me what to do, and the formatting and such, and I'll do it, ok dear? Love, Neranei (talk) 21:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, will do. I'll be off and on most of your night, so just drop me a note if I screw up. :-) I'll post regular updates. Love, Neranei (talk) 21:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I think I'm finished (that took like 2 hours :P); would you take a look at it? Thanks! Love, Neranei (talk) 23:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup! Je n'ai pas su que vous parlez le français! Est-ce que je peux vous toutoir? Anyways, if DHMO's not around, should we submit it anyways? I'm quite happy with it; how about you? Would you like to do another FL project? Love, Neranei (talk) 00:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

That means "can I use the pronoun "tu" with you?" (I only just learned that...) Do you want me to do the summaries? I'll go watchlist the page. Yay! Love, Neranei (talk) 00:19, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup, je vais le faire! Are you ready to nominate it? Love, Neranei (talk) 00:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup! I'm at the Grammy section now; am I allowed to support the FLC? Love, Neranei (talk) 00:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

J'ai fini! Ready for transclusion when you are, sir! Love, Neranei (talk) 01:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, do you want to work on another project? Love, Neranei (talk) 01:19, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Eddie, check the email. Guys, stop speaking French without me :p  — Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 01:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Mais, la français est le meilleur langue! Just kidding, DHMO. Neranei (talk) 02:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

My dear Squid Guy

You're going to want to look at this and get a Bureaucrat to perhaps get the name back and safe for you. ^Ariel♥Gold 13:55, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Vandal account

Hi, please see this link [1]. Your previous account seems to have created an inappropriate user name which then went and voted on a lot of RFAs and was subsequently blocked. I am trying to figure out - was this actually you who created this user or is this some sort of a system glitch? Thanks — Lost^(talk) 13:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

See above, and also see the earlier section above that. It seems that when you get your name changed/moved, the old name technically becomes "open" for others to create, even though it is a redirect. A vandal created the name, and is doing the damage. Probably, Agüeybaná will need a Bureaucrat to get the name back, and then it can be protected. ^Ariel♥Gold 13:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks Eddie, for your participation in my Editor review. Your feedback has been very helpful in my recent edits. Once again, Thanks! --Hirohisat ^紅葉 07:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Reminder

In the section of your nomination which states "Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:" You must write weather you accept or not. Tony the Marine 05:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

As promised.

Hey, good luck with your RfA! Try not to wear out the refresh button... :) SQL^{(Query Me!)} 15:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

I know you're probably paying close attention to it, but just FYI, I have added an optional question to your RfA. Please don't feel as if you need to respond immediately, it just seems courteous to inform the candidate in such a case. RyanGerbil10(C-Town) 18:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind. I guess those who know you are anxious for you to get the mop. :P - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 19:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

comment

No, in fact it is a personal thing, while it is normally the norm to archive, editors may wish to simply delete old discussions by blanking them, and not archive. 221.133.196.114 01:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I even took the trouble to find this line for you "Archiving of one's own user talk page is not compulsory, but recommended so that the past discussions can be easily searched when required." I did not write that, that you can find it yourself on the archiving page. Or just google it. 221.133.196.114 01:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Vincent Thomas

I would like to thank you for the helpful additions to the article on Vincent Thomas which I created. Citizen Dick 15:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Re:Your suggestion

No thank you :-) I shall continue to Oppose and Support RfA's anyway I wish. It is completely up to users how they support or oppose an RfA. Some user's don't even leave comments, are you going to suggest to them to be more constructive too? Allow me to explain, by the time I reach an RfA the points that I want to make have already been made and it saves me a lot of time rather than just repeating something. So, thank you very much for your helpful suggestion, friend :-) - But, no. Scarian^Talk 22:45, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Buddy, I understand how frustrating it must be and I am sorry. Look - I'll compromise, next time I Support or Oppose an RfA I'll write my own reason, alright? But you gotta take notice that people get offended if you tell them what to do. Even if you smile sweetly and be all nice about it, people are still going to irritated if you tell them how to support or oppose an RfA. Take care and good luck with your RfA, friend. Scarian^Talk 22:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

No! Of course I understood and recognised it to be in good faith... but... I was just telling you something about psychology. People simply get annoyed if you tell them what to do, especially if it's something they've written. People tend to take what they've written and care for it like a child (We've all had brush in's with editor's on Wikipedia ;-). So you just gotta be extra careful in the future when you go and tell people to be more constructive with Opposes or Support's or whatever. Okay? Are we cool now, friend? Scarian^Talk 23:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Question

Hi, Eddie. I am just curious what you meant with this edit? Because Donald Trump has been receiving a steady amount of vandalism for a long time. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 23:42, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Part cheetah

I'm fast? Went to put a warning on the user page and saw you'd already taken care of it- I thought "How the hell did he do that?!" Thanks for the compliment anyway and keep doing what you clearly do so well MarkSutton 21:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Some new stuff

First of all a little update for when working with the Newsletter, José Juan Barea just passed GAC. Now another possitive note is that as of today List of Governors of Puerto Rico is a FLC, this has been a project of mine for the last month and it has been where I have spent the mayority of my edits, but now that Barea's review is over I will go back to working Luis A. Ferré as well, cheers! - Caribbean~H.Q. 07:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Amrik Das

Well, I'm glad they deleted it. I kinda skimmed it a bit and overlooked the date from 2017....Thanks for pointing that out. —Signed by KoЯnfan71 ^{My Talk} _{Sign Here!} 01:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfA

I am sorry you felt it necessary to oppose my recent RfA, which did not succeed. I will attempt to get more experience in the main namespace and see what I can do to allay your concerns and will try again for RfA in two month's time. I hope I will have satisfied your concerns by then, but if not, please comment as you feel you should. Thanks for participating in my RfA. -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 06:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

DYK nom

Did you know? was updated. On 12 October, 2007, a fact from the article Vincent Thomas, which you recently nominated, was featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Argentine football

Hi there, I noticed that you created an article on Andrés Yllana, I have made a few additions to the article including adding the Wikipedia:WikiProject Argentine football parameter on the talk page. Maybe you would be interested in joining the project? If you do make any more Argentine football related pages could you announce them here Wikipedia:Wikiproject Argentine football/New articles, cheers. Keep up the good work, kind regards, King of the North East (T/C) 13:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Franklin Patterson

Take a look now. Char count should be at least 1500 not counting spaces. With footnote characters, it is around 1900. Ariel♥Gold 16:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Eddie. I put them there because I do think they should be redirected, deleted, merged or whatever. Thanks for the tip though. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 04:01, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
