I'm slightly drunk just now and it's ptroblaby nbest if you block me because I'm goimn to be an idiot all night at thisr ate. I respect yourallegiance like :DD:D:D:D —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.41.251.20 (talk) 04:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC).
- You don't look drunk, and anyway that's no excuse for making disruptive edits. Please don't vandalize articles or harass users. Thanks. Yuser31415 05:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Just a friendly reminder
Before reporting users and/or IPs on WP:AIV, remember to make sure they've been warned and vandalized past their last warning. Cheers! Yuser31415 05:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- That's okay! Cheers! Yuser31415 06:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Ottawa Project Templates (Gatineau area)
Create your own wikiproject. The project page itself says OTTAWA, not Gatineau, or NCR. GreenJoe 19:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- JForget, you may want to clarify your comments, re. this discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ottawa/General#Wikiproject Ottawa templates in Gatineau articles/Scope of Wikiproject. You suggest it should stay the same way as before -- does that mean the template or the project? You should indicate if you believe that the scope should be the entire NCR, or just Ottawa. Thanks. Skeezix1000 20:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. Saw your edit. Thanks. Sorry to bother you, but it's still a bit unclear what you are saying. The Ottawa Project is somewhat unclear itself as to what the scope is, and I am pretty sure that GreenJoe believes that it has always been limited to just Ottawa. So, if you believe that the scope of the project should be broader and should include the rest of the NCR, then you should say that explicitly, otherwise it appears that you are agreeing with GreenJoe. Maybe you agree with GreenJoe, which is fine, but I just wanted to be clear. Thanks. Skeezix1000 21:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Edit Summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Cocoaguycontribstalk 00:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: Edit summary on Peter Van Loan
You wrote: "... do I see a trend using the terms like in the U.S Administration?"
Actually, we've had secretary of state titles since 1993. Usage of the title stopped with Martin, and started again today. It has nothing to do with the U.S. Administration. theProject 18:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Stop missorting
Please stop moving articles such as Richard Cote if you cannot add the proper sort keys so that the articles are indexed properly in categories. I fixed that one. Go back and fix any others you have messed up the same way. Gene Nygaard 17:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject France
Hello! We are a group of editors working to improve the quality of France related articles. You look like someone who might be interested in joining us in the France WikiProject and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you in our project :-) STTW (talk) 16:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Rangers roster
On hockey teams rosters when a player is demoted to minors we just comment out his player code, don't completely remove such things as your Darius Kasparaitis edit. Thanks. IrisKawling 21:04, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

stomping on edits
Oops. I think I managed to stomp on your edit to Muhammad with precisely the same edit (reverting pic vandalism). Frotz661 19:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

The use commas
I was looking at the Eastern North America Valentine's Day Blizzard article and you seemed to have reverted the edits on the power outage section removing the commas from the states that have counted the customers without power. Was there something wrong with the edit I have done? I known we live in two different countries and have different customs over the use of commas. Spongefan 22:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's all right. I added a new reference for the Other disruptions section about the Valentine's Day postponement in Covington, Kentucky. With the article recently created, maybe it could land a spot on the WP:DYK? I'm thinking about adding it. Spongefan 00:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Your RFA
Hi! I have closed your RFA as it does not currently enjoy the support of the community and keeping it up further would be pointless. There are a lot of contructive comments on your RFA, it should help you if and when you wish to apply again. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Age category
Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:
- Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
- Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.
If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Your new tornado article
Hi there. I understand that from a media perspective, this tornado is being carried as a current event, but the tornado is long gone. If the article was created on the larger storm system, it would still be considered current. I haven't seen aftermath keep a weather event current within wikipedia, so I'm just following what I understand to be true within the meteorology project. Just keep this in mind when you view my edits/comments on the talk page. Thegreatdr 19:13, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. If the article becomes about the outbreak, and its name is changed, current will have to be slapped back onto the main page and for class on its talk page. I would suggest removing reference to snow from the article, if it is only about either the single tornado or the tornado outbreak as a whole, since it would be irrelevent. If the article name is changed to something like "Early May 2007 Plains Cyclone", the snow information could stay in there. Then we would likely need to add other boxes onto its talk page to include the winter storm and storm subprojects. Thegreatdr 19:25, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- As a heads up, I added the article into the meteorology project page as a new article. Only two new articles this past month...that is quiet. If the name changes, the redirect will send them to the right spot. Thegreatdr 19:56, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Greensburg EF5
I have confirmed with the Dodge City NWS and NWS Quick Response Team (which investigates possible violent tornadoes) that it was EF5 and that they did announce this to the media, however, I've yet to see an actual Public Information Statement or any other official documentation of this. Evolauxia 19:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't know when they'll issue it, but they have a lot on their hands including ongoing severe weather operations and numerous damage surveys and fielding so much media and other attention. Sometimes offices will issue a brief preliminary survey report before a more thorough one, I assume they're just too busy. Evolauxia 19:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Les circonscriptions
Tu fais du travail extraordinaire sur les circonscriptions quebecoises, mais it faut que je te dise que Union Nationale n'est pas la bonne article. S'il te plait, utilise Union Nationale (Quebec). (Aussi, Ralliement creditiste etait le parti federal. Le parti provinciale etait Ralliement créditiste du Québec.) Merci. Ground Zero | t 23:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello JForget, I've re-edited the infobox to show Bourassa as the 22nd Premier (only). The Canadian provinicial Premiers who've served non-consecutive terms, are numbered by individual not by mandates. GoodDay 19:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Mr. 205.
Actually, I think the Public Works department would be quite interested to learn that someone is posting partisan messages from one of their computers. If they aren't, the national press might be. ;) CJCurrie 21:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Get away from the computer and watch the game!
Did you just update Chris Pronger WHILE the game was going on? Dude, that's a little TOO hardcore. ... in a good way, I mean. Elfbabe 02:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Dauphin
You are perfectly correct--I was merely trying to save it from speedy, & wanted to be gentle to the guy who put the speedy tag on. . But I should have looked more carefully in the first place. Any member of a national or provincial legislature is notable, according to what people say at AfD, and so are mayors of large cities. DGG 17:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
User Boumetrienne
Sure you already noticed this but I'm just making an observation. The username Boumetrienne (talk · contribs) is awfully similar to Boume trien (talk · contribs); the suspected sockpuppet of Jagjagjagjab (talk · contribs). However the user hasn't blanked any pages yet. [2] akuyumeTC 00:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

This is for your anti-vandalism work. I have seen you quite often in my Recent Changes Patrolling. †Sir James Paul† 00:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC) |
- Twinkle is a good tool. I have been using it since March. IMO, it is far better than the other tools that give you a revert button because it works almost all of the time and it gives you more than just a revert button. Have a nice week and God bless:)--†Sir James Paul† 00:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
