?

thanks for the changes, but the wording has been written by Ultralab staff (of which I am one)... Delightful Learning = one of Ultralab straplines.

Who are you anyway? Are you part of Anglia Ruskin too?

Re: Good call

Thank you! Too bad I made a typo (en emerging, rather than an emergin) and then copy-pasted that into all the five article moves. I had to spend some time cleaning that up. // Habj 22:03, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:St. George Hotel

No problem - I quite enjoy trying to save articles at AFD, and in this case I've stayed at the place (at one of the science fiction conventions mentioned in the article :). Grutness...wha? 13:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marshall University

Thank you for the great replacement photo of Old Main! When I added the original, Wikipedia had a slightly more inclusive image copyright policy... So, I'm sorry somebody had to replace the last photo, but I'm glad you did, anyway... It really is a great photo for the article. Enough rambling. Ciao for now.

The Dwyer Group

I like your solution to deprod and redirect the collection of articles related to the Dwyer Group. --Ed (Edgar181) 16:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stupid and contagious

This page that you prodded had the prod tag removed by the creator. Thought you might want to know in case you wanted to put it up for AfD.

Thank you. I probably will, since it doesn't look like it's gotten any better. The horribly amateur photos don't help, either -- no, not an actual sign or lack thereof of notability, but still grating. --Calton | Talk 23:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seinfeld Movie AfD

youngamerican, I had hoped to make it clear in my comment that my remarks were in relation to what Adambiswanger1 had written, not you. Nevertheless, I should make it emphatically clear that I am not offended in any way by any of the editors in this thread and I am trusting that the comment by Adambiswanger1 was meant in WP:GF.

Necro Butcher

Notability is pretty hard to establish with independent wrestlers. "Necro Butcher" returns 33,500 results in a Google search, but I'm not sure that he has appeared on television, which is sometimes used as a bottom line for notability among wrestlers. McPhail 18:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CrazyRussian's RfA

Hello Youngamerican, and thank you for your support at my request for adminship, which ended with an awe-inspiring 86/1/2 result. I plan to do much with my shiny new tools - but I'll start slow and learn the ropes at first. Please deluge me with assignments and requests - I enjoy helping out. For Mother Russia!! - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 05:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To Yank or to Sox?

It's Sox, I should put a header on my page, but it would take the fun away. :P Yanksox 23:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An NL fan, eh? I've always admired the play from the senior circuit. Yanksox 23:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed

I totally agree with you on the DH, but I like it the way diversity is in with MLB. Braves are my second fav, too. It's not looking very bright, hopefully someone from the minors can plug in. Yanksox 23:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Brownies

Hey, Brownies might come back, the Pats did it and you took our D-Cordntr. :P No one on the Patriots lasts longer than 3 years. How do you guys deal with Chad Johnson and everything he does, though the TD celebrations are sweet. Yanksox 23:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was one journalist, I think it was Bill Simmons, who said that Johnson would drag out a dead deer and feak out every child watching. I forgot what Johnson said, but wasn't it along the lines that he found it on the road? Strange gimmick, but enjoyable. Yanksox 00:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, it's still strange. So, wait, you're a braves fan and a brownies fan? Are you from the Cleve or Atlanta? Yanksox 00:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Typicalriteaid.JPG

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Image:Typicalriteaid.JPG, which you proposed for deletion, because the page you proposed for deletion was not an article. If you still feel the page should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to it, as proposed deletion is only for articles. Instead, consider using WP:IFD for this page. In some cases, a speedy deletion criterion may apply. Thanks! Mango juice^talk 15:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey -- I wouldn't assume you'd add the prod tag back or anything. The above is from Template:Deprod-article which I wrote to make this kind of message easier to leave. I feel it's a good idea, generally, to remind people not to re-add the prod template... I often don't use the template when the prod was left by an experienced user.. In this case, I didn't realize I'd seen you around before until I saw your signature on my talk page. Anyway, nothing personal of course! Cheers. Mango juice^talk 15:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Funny how much a smiley face makes a difference online. I added Byrd to my watchlist. I'm not that familiar with him, though, so subtle vandalism / non-neutral edits may be hard for me to recognize. Cheers! Mango juice^talk 16:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RFA

Yes, I'd love to be nominated. However, now may not be the best time. I'm going out of town for a week starting Thursday, and though I'll have internet access, I really won't be doing much on WP. How about if we hold off until the 24th? By then I should be back and active again. Mango juice^talk 16:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Byrd article

I'm sorry-I put the incorrect link as a source to his opposition to gay marriage. I have corrected it. The vote in the Senate was only a procedural matter to invoke cloture and move forward with an actual "up-or-down" vote. Byrd wanted an actual vote on the amendment itself (which is why he voted for cloture) but opposed the actual amendment. Sorry for any confusion, which tends to be typical with Senate procedure.

Didn't know it was that obvious wher I was working. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Glad someone is happy about a deletion. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huntington photos / Summersville Lake & Dam

Hi Youngamerican, just a note of appreciation for the good photos in Huntington recently. I think they are good additions.

Also, you had left me a note about the Summersville Lake and Summersville Dam articles you started last month and I lazily neglected to respond. I think they are solid stubs and I wouldn't have anything to add. I think in some future year someone could make a convincing case one way or the other about whether articles about impoundments and the dams that form them should generally be merged or written separately, but there doesn't seem to be an established method for or discussion about it. I noticed a user started a WP:LAKES recently, of which s/he is presently the only member; if that were to get going it might someday be the forum for such a discussion.

Also, does the Robert Byrd Bridge have a sidewalk? I guess it must, and if so, hooray for its designers. And thanks for walking across it with your camera -- Malepheasant 03:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hot dog fun facts site

We don't have to do anything about it. We might ask them to cite Wikipedia instead of answers.com. As to their "copyright," it is meaningless as far as we are concerned. When you place a copyright on a site that includes both public domain and copyrighted material, the copyright only applies to the non-public material. It's like if you pick up a copy of Oliver Twist. You might see a copyright in the front--but what the copyright applies to is only new material, such as footnotes, analysis or a foreword, not Dickens's text. -- Cecropia 20:17, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Transportation in U.S. states

Clearly it was a bad idea for me to think I had discovered the general consensus, and quit visiting state categories before I got to V! Thanks for showing me how a good such page ought to look. I was scratching my head at just what Transportation in Alaska was trying to do. —Zero Gravitas 22:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Smith, Jr. article

I noticed your edit on the above cited article today. Is it your contention that Joseph taught that humans become equivalent to God the Father? Is that the reason for capitalizing the letter "G" in God? I think you will find that God the Father will always, for eternity, be the God of his children. There will never be a time when "we" become equivalent to God the Father.Storm Rider ^(talk) 00:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Um, check the edit history. All I did was change a category from "Freemason" to "American Freemason." Its part of an effort to thin out the category on Freemasons into some smaller nation specific articles. youngamerican (talk) 01:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sory, I must have compared more than a single history edit making me think that your last edit was the edit in question. My bad. Thanks for your assistance. Storm Rider ^(talk) 05:19, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:WV affiliate templates

Thanks. I've done a lot of other states too, and now I am working on Arkansas. CoolKatt number 99999 03:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. State mottos

The template additions do not account for those states that have two mottos; this was the basis of my reversion to the ND template. --AlexWCovington (talk) 14:53, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

North Dakota's other motto is Strength from the soil, which appears on the state Coat of Arms. IMO, it is infinitely better than the lengthy Daniel Webster quote on the Great Seal. --AlexWCovington (talk) 15:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Route 52

I do live near US 52 in North Dakota; however I'm not well versed in the history of the route, as the West Virginia section of the article does. I could do something similar to what I did in U.S. Route 12 for a North Dakota section. --AlexWCovington (talk) 15:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note from a fan of mine, apparently

Hi,

I think you're an asshole for reverting my changes.

Thanks! --68.48.82.180 15:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Pepsidrinka

Well, at the moment, I'm right here, editing your talk page. But, to answer your question, I'm have, since the past month, indefinately, cut down my wiki time considerably. Personal issues in my life have pushed the wiki out of my priorities (as if it ever was one), and I am not editing on a "when I can" basis. Check my contributions to see how frequently I am editing. Thanks for noticing my absence though. It makes me feel important that others are noticing when I'm not around. Pepsidrinka 23:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'm as ready as I'm going to be. :) Mango juice^talk 14:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've accepted but I haven't posed it on the RFA page yet. I wanted to give you and Crzrussian a chance to vote first. Mango juice^talk 16:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've gone ahead and added myself. Crz's comment is a bit distressing, but I figure it won't get any worse than this.. and it may succeed anyway. *Shrugs*. Mango juice^talk 19:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hawk's Nest

The new dab page and the rest look reasonably OK to me. We will want to go to the links to the West Virginia one and change them to bypass the new dab page, but otherwise, looks pretty good to me. Mark Vaoverland 00:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hawk's Nest

I think we have to remember the worldwide approach. The one in Australia is actually a small town, so the dab isn't bad, IMHO. Mark Vaoverland 00:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huntington

Only that it was created as a railroad town as the initial western terminus of Collis P. Huntington's Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1871, when it stretched from Richmond to the Ohio River. It became a huge shops center for the railroad, which as we know, expanded east to Newport News (and coal piers) and westerly to eventually reach Cincinatti and Chicago. Named for Collis, who was trying to create a single transcontinental railroad, which still has not been accomplished in the U.S. Mark Vaoverland 00:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hawk's Nest

Now I understand, I agree with your point. The name of the user changing it and the fact that he/she doesn't have a user page sorta speaks to lack of consideration and collaboration. Anyway, I'll be that team link stays red. I have seen more obscure articles, tho. Thanks for working in the spirit.
