Oops!

Didn't realize that was you that tagged Bill T. Jones :) Sorry for the curt tone :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

you owe me a dollar

Hi Dev, nope, even if he keeps sending me messages, I intend to keep them around. Other people are welcome to read them, and make up their own minds about him, and me for that matter. --Kyoko 22:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Donating to charity is a great idea. I've left a message on Ed's talk page asking him to stop writing both of us, just so you know. The message he left on your talk page can be seen as a personal attack. --Kyoko 23:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ed

Instead of removing Ed's post, might i suggest you go an view his user page. Ryan Postlethwaite 17:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

So it really is you! :-) Shouldn't you be still doing your exams, hmm? ;-D Wikiholic! Hugs, Raystorm (¿Sí?) 19:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a plan! :-) See ya and take care Raystorm (¿Sí?) 22:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC) I don't think I'd ever have the will to block myself, brrr![reply]

Park Riot

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably do so once I'm finished fully revising. The "dones" are more for me. --David Shankbone 14:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disappearance of Madeleine McCann - response

Hello, I have responded to your comments on the article talk page. My contention is that, as an ongoing and current event, this material is inherently unstable, since new facts and information are emerging all the time. Since these will ultimately be added to the article as they emerge, the current event tag implies an inherent instability. Thus, under the terms of "It is stable; that is, it does not change significantly from day to day...", I believed that it would would change from day to day, or at least could, and as such was unstable.

I do, however, accept that there is potentially room for wriggling here. Your options are to renominate it, which you can do with the promise that I will not review the article on this occasion, or to refer this decision to review which will educate us both on the process here, and make a definitive decision. Let me know what you think by dropping a line to my talk page. Best wishes --Fritzpoll 14:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

World Pacific Records

See the article on Bob Lind. His biggest hit, "Elusive Butterfly" was issued by World Pacific Records. Steelbeard1 21:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have you even heard of Bob Lind? His "Elusive Butterfly" was a global hit in 1966. Need more convincing? Check out Bob Lind's own web site [1] Steelbeard1 21:36, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then check out [2]. If you're still not convinced, then merge World Pacific Records with Pacific Jazz Records. Steelbeard1 21:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pacific Jazz Records was a very influential jazz label in the 1950s and was an independent before Liberty Records bought it. So, again, merge Pacific Jazz and World Pacific Records. Steelbeard1 21:51, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your WP:ENVIRONMENT assignment

I won't give an exact number. The assignment is meant to is to get articles assessed and not win awards. Most of the award recipients actually never contacted me asking for how to get the barnstar, but I awarded to them for their dedication. Please consider again if your heart really wants to help others, or just to win awards. OhanaUnited ^{Talk page} 17:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You got to realize that I don't have to hand it out even if you accomplished the task. Please watch your tone. If you want to see how others talk about the barnstar, I suggest you to take a look at User talk:OhanaUnited/Archive 1#Prepare your barnstar! OhanaUnited ^{Talk page} 17:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you can try going for other things as listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment#Tasks and see what interests you. OhanaUnited ^{Talk page} 18:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you really want to get the barnstar, tag 50-100 untagged articles (NOT assessing unassessed articles) OhanaUnited ^{Talk page} 13:26, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck on exams but....

twelve days to improve which article? I haven't written an article in a long time but I have written several. And you don't know my screen name. But even if you did, you didn't say which article it is you want me to improve! 172.162.106.36 21:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take it for AFD now if you are only waiting for ME to improve the article. I didn't watch the show often enough at the time to write anything meaningful but I do know enough to know that he was an important character on the show. If you take it to AfD and any AMC fans vote, it won't pass. That I can guarantee. 172.162.106.36 21:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Missing topics

I have a beginnings of a LGBT-related missing topics here - any comments? - Skysmith 09:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article assessment

Thanks for assessing so many Environment articles today. Looks good. Assessment is something I've never done and I was wondering about Solar power plants in the Mojave Desert and Wind power in Denmark. Both are articles I've worked on and they seemed to me to be of similar quality. Yet they received different quality assessments. Maybe there is something I'm missing here?
