Christian Bird

A tag has been placed on Christian Bird, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --ArmadilloFromHell 22:01, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note

PLease do not keep blanking this page, it forms part of you edit history. --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 03:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What do I do if I want it blanked? Why does this matter? - Ethicalhacker 03:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other people may want to know if you are a reliable editor. Editing with other people requires conversation. If you delete what other people say to do, that suggests you don't welcome conversation. EdJohnston 00:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Or it might just be that I've already taken that advice and want to clean up that page. What's the harm in that? Ethicalhacker 16:38, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How to watch RSS (file format)

Hello Ethicalhacker. You left a comment on Talk:RSS (file format) asking to add RSS to your watchlist. You can do this yourself just by going to the page and clicking on the 'Watch' tab which is near the top right of your screen. EdJohnston 00:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RSS

Thanks for the info above. I'm new around here and I like to learn. I was really interested in getting a URL to the RSS feed so I could feed it into another reader, but it looks like that isn't possible like it is on many other watched pages. Do you know much about RSS URL's? Ethicalhacker 05:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This item [1] claims that you can get an Atom feed for changes to any WIkipedia page, but I haven't tried it. EdJohnston 13:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Still having some trouble getting this to work. I think that it's because it's a special page that is probably dynamic in nature, and likely not a good candidate for RSS feed. If you can figure out how to get your watchlist to come up as an RSS, please let me know. I would love to be able to do this. Thanks for helping. - Ethicalhacker 16:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where does it say that Digg is now 4.0? --Thorpe | talk 12:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let you know, let me find the reference. Ethicalhacker 16:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

California WikiProject

Welcome to the California WikiProject. If you have any questions about the project, or the Wikipedia in general, feel free to contact me. ^Blank ^Verse 06:02, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please chime in if you have a view

There's an interesting experience going on over at WikiProject California, and WikiProject Southern California.

Some time ago, WikiProject California members had placed their project tags on all articles about California cities. Those tags have been in place for some time. Recently certain members of WikiProject Southern California, after discussion on that project's talk page (only), decided to remove the WikiProject California tags for (almost all) Southern California cities, and replace the tags with WikiProject Southern California tags - only.

That is, the WikiProject Southern California members didn't simply add the WikiProject Southern California tag to Southern California cities, the WikiProject California tags were completely removed. This was done apparently without consultation with the WikiProject California members.

We are gathering responses to the following questions on those projects' talk pages:

Do you have a view whether the WikiProject California tag should be removed from a large number of cities in Southern California?

Do you have a view whether city article for Southern California cities should have more than one WikiProject tag?

Please let us know if you have a view! Spamreporter1 16:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Central Valley

Hi there, I've just joined the California Wikiproject. I'm dropping you a note because I notice you're interested in the Valley. I am interested in working with a group of editors to improve the Central Valley's Wikipedia presence. For example, the Central Valley (California) article is assessed "top importance" but has the lowest possible quality rating. You seem especially interested in water infrastructure. I'm a student of water law and would like to better highlight the role of water in the Valley, especially the CVP/SWP. If you're willing to help with ideas or writing, then by all means drop by the project talk page: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_California. Thanks! ferretstew (talk) 09:39, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
