CAoW
Since you are listed as a Roman Catholic, I figured I'd send you this. Wikipedia:Catholic Alliance of wikipedia has been nominated for Deletion. Please vote and/or tell other people to vote to keep this organization on wikipedia. --Shanedidona 01:33, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
CAoW
CAoW is a CAtholic organization for the preservation of conservative values, basically, CAoW is a redily summonable voting block in case a pro-life article is threatened. If you brouse around wikipedia, you will notice that there is an angst toward people with conservative values. By the way, I started the group like 8 hours ago, and it's already being challenged (by a liberal). Check the challenger's profile. Vote Pro-Life! --Shanedidona 02:54, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Vote for the page here:Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Catholic Alliance of wikipedia
The group is ment to save articles and Categories such as "Pro-life celebrities"
Please reread the CAoW page and reconsider your vote. The page has changed. --Shanedidona 03:14, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

- Griz, make sure to sign your comments using four "~" ^_^. Just ignore the topic and don't bother; it's just a Wiki group. Deckiller 03:25, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- In other words, just don't bother worrying whether or not to delete it..let it run its course if you are so torn :) Deckiller 03:26, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- You can also make a "Comment" or "Abstain" if ya don't want to vote and you still want to get your opinion across. Deckiller 03:33, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Project
Hey, I started a Star Wars wikiproject proposal. Here is the proposal. Deckiller 00:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Scouting Barnstarn
Did you see this proposal? Scouting Barnstarn --evrik 19:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- Could you go back and vote one more time. We're trying to build a consensus on a star. Thanks! evrik 18:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Scouting Barnstar - Where to put it?
I believe that the award that was created for the Scouting Barnstar should be a topical award. Scouting is a world-wide movement that has served youth in many countries for more than 100 years and represents the youth of the world at the United Nations.
It has been suggested that the award be given as a PUA. The first line on the PUA page reads, "This page provides a collection of awards created by individual Wikipedians." The Scouting Barnstar was created by the WikiProject Scouting.
Currently, the is a discussion going on at Wikipedia_talk:Barnstars#Removed_the_scouting_barnstar. Please comment there if you are interested.evrik
Hey there
How goes it? Right now, I'm working on improving the New England Patriots article; it's coming quite along; I added a footnote section, some references, split the history, added a brief section on logos, etc. Take a look. Deckiller 01:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Project
Hi, my name is Federico (alias Pain) and I am creating a section for nominating th best user page, I was wondering if you were interested in joining the project.
The project has just started, and we need help to spread the word and ameliorate it.
Wikipedia:Votes_for_best_User_page
Best regards, Federico Pistono ✆ ✍ 14:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the comment! Although the article is at FA status, everyone expects us to conform to all objections and criticism, which I've been working on. There's always room for improvement, and I look forward to seeing it on the page ^_^ Deckiller 22:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Project
The StarWars WikiProject will be starting soon, here is what I have down so far: User:Deckiller/WikiProject Star Wars. We have 7-9 people interested so far. Deckiller 21:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
WikiProject up
See Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars. Thanks! Deckiller 17:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the Best User Page Project
Let us try an experiment. Until further notice, the voting system will be open, using the method described in the Guidelines. This will make us understand how reliable the current system is and whether the project has a real possibility to expand into hundrends of users or not.
All users are encounaged to display the {{BestUserPage}} banner on their User Page.
All members all encouraged to display the {{BUP}} banner in their User Page, and also notify that the project has started.
We will refer to the votes for this first session as "March 2006" in the archive.

Opentasks for my love
My red-headed love, here are some tasks you can do. I'll reward you ^_^
- Go through the star wars pages and look for any merger proposals you see. Post a list on my talkpage, including merge articles and the lists they are to be merged into. Make sense?
- If you come across any Star Wars articles that aren't in a category, please add the correct category.
Thanks, my dear! Deckiller 01:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Happy Valentine's Day, love! ^_^ Deckiller 22:27, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
Hey Darthgriz98/Archive 1, how is it going? Thank you for supporting my Request for adminship! It passed with a final vote of 73/1/1, which means that I have been granted adminship! I look forward to using these tools to enhance and maintain this wonderful site. I will continue regular article/project contributions, but I will also allocate a sizable portion of my wikischedule toward administrative duties :) Thanks again, and if you have any questions/comments/tips, please let me know! — Deckiller 04:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Star Wars collaboration
File:Star Wars Tie-Fighter-Vaders.jpg | You showed support for the Star Wars Collaboration of the week. This week Heir to the Empire was selected to be improved to featured article status. We hope you can contribute. |
Eh...
Please read WP:MoS, dear :) Capitilization of headers is a no-no :) — Deckiller 00:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- Just a heads up, for situations like "The Unknown Planet", which involve proper nouns, it's ok. — Deckiller 00:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Collaboration
I like the tab at the top of the current collaboration article idea, so I'll do that. Using talk pages is what I do with the project home pages, but doing much beyond that simply takes too much time. Thanks for the idea. Rlevse 10:03, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Scouting article work
If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).
As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Scouting Userboxes
They are pretty easy. Take one of the others, like the Queen's Scout one and copy it to say here. Then just play, altering the colours, words and images. Get back to me when you want to put one in template space. That is also easy. --Bduke 23:59, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, userboxes cannot contain images labelled as "fair use" per policy. Someone already removed the one you added, so I reverted back to the previous version. The best options are to a) find an image that is public domain, b) use text in the userbox. --NThurston 17:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- You might want to contact User:kintetsubuffalo about this. He was involved in creating the current generic images and might have something that suits you interests. --NThurston 20:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

- I'm trying to get new images for the Girl Scout userboxes, but most of them are TM and I can't use them. I was told you were the person to come to for generic images, I was wondering if you could help me out? You don't have to do it right away or even get back to me right away, if you even chose to do it, since I see you are on wikibreak and looks like your pretty stressed, I hope things are going well for you. Thank you. Griz 00:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Lauren, working on it. Chris 19:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I notice that you are using Template:User boyfriend, which has been moved to {{User:UBX/boyfriend}}. The link currently being used on your page is a cross-namespace redirect and will probably not last. It may be advisable to change the link. Thanks. —Mira 01:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Windber as a suburb
Griz, This is my first attempt ever to use a talk page. I did see you removed an entry of mine regarding Alan Freed and Johnnie Weismuller from the Johnstown page as you believe Windber is not a suburb of Johnstown. I do understand your point that Windber lies across a county line. Please do know that the United States Census Bureau defines Johnstown's metropolitan area as Somerset and Cambria Counties. So by the stardard definition used by all geographers, Windber is a suburb of Johnstown, as are other Somerset County towns such as Davidsville, Jerome, Paint and Benscreek. I have worked very hard on the Johnstown Wikipedia entry in the last two weeks. I am documenting all my entries to ensure accuracy. I would be gald to share with you any particular citation that interests you. If you do have any questions, please let me know. Thanks. user: Hattanguy 1204am edt 6/6/06.
Thank you
for the barnstar and you're welcome :) Dure (T) (E) (C) 04:47, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello
I'm sorry, but I could not help but notice that you are from PA, and based on your "Major contributions and pages I frequently edit" from Johnstown. I came upon your page because you have the NHS userbox that I created. I am also from Johnstown and thought it was cool to see a person so close that goes on here. Anyway, I just thought I'd drop a message. --WillMak050389 15:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- yeah, I go to Westmont, just got inducted into NHS this past May. I'm still going there for one more year though. Just thought it was cool to find another johnstownian here. And you know my girlfriend too? That's awesome. Hope to talk to you more. --WillMak050389 02:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Happy Birthday!
Many happy returns of the day!!!

Yeah that was me with Brittany at the Drive-Ins. We went again tonight and they actually got the sound to work. :claps: Anyway, we had a pretty good night there. Did you go back?

Wiki merit badge
File:Wiki merit badge.png, I present you this wiki merit badge for dedication to Scouting, and especially for being our most dedicated editor of girl scout articles. Keep it up and recruit more female Scouting editors! Rlevse 01:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
You've got a Thank you card!
Dear Lauren, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Despite I've never had the pleasure of talking to you until now, dear Lauren, I really think the best gift that my RfA has given me is to meet people like you, as I see that you're a great editor and an awesome person. From this day on, I also consider you my friend, and I'd be happy and honored if you accept me as your own. With a big hug, your friend,
Taking Back Sunday
Hey, sorry for the misunderstanding. While their new music does have more of an emo sound to it, I do not think I would classify it as post-hardcore. Post-hardcore usually has screaming in it, such as bands like Chiodos, Atreyu, stuff like that. Taking Back Sunday, I agree is emo, but their older stuff, ie, Where You Want To Be, Tell All Your Friends definately has a pop-punk feel to it, similar to Fall Out Boy or Hawthorne Heights. But I agree with you, I think Rock/Emo, and possibly Post-Hardcore would be alright with me, I just reverted your edit because when ever I see a genre change I think that it's some supposed Punk fanatic who believes that only The Damned should be listed as punk. Again, sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks! --DieHard2k5 | Talk 03:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
