It has been a while since I edited Wikipedia and I am dealing with talk page messages in reverse chronological order. Well done on solving the problem on circle packing. I think though it really should be sourced before being added back to the article. But very interesting to see your solution! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Captainj ( talk • contribs) 23:21, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
I re-nominated the giraffe article. You did some reviewing in the last nomination. Why do be able to look it over again and come to a decision? LittleJerry ( talk) 03:14, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know about my photograph being used! Could you send me some more information about where the sign is located, etc., so that when I contact the museum they'll know exactly which picture I'm talking about? Thanks so much. -- Tewy 22:17, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Abricta curvicosta, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Opercula ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey. I didn't want to make it seem like I was ignoring you. :) Been busy. Fantastic on the FL nomination. Even if you might not be able to attend, it is worth signing up anyway in case you might... There are two rounds and if things change and you can't do things, there are ways for us to compensate for that. :) But yay! Content fixing. :D -- LauraHale ( talk) 12:13, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey. In honour of Australia at the 2012 Summer Paralympics, I'm trying to get articles created about members of the team who don't have articles yet. This is a fairly big job and I could use a bit of assistance. If you have time, can you add information and sources to articles, add pictures to articles (Flickr? Commons?), fix prose on articles where sources have been included now (mostly men's athletics) and otherwise help prep them for DYK? I'd be happy to give you credit at DYK for all the articles you help improve. Thanks in advance. -- LauraHale ( talk) 05:52, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi 99of9,
Is Annie Forsyth Wyatt good enough for DYK now? If she is, could you nominate her under both our names? She might get more of the recognition she deserves. :) Also, I don't think it is stub class any more. Whiteghost.ink ( talk) 04:17, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:CooksRiverSatellite.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

As an explanation for this, the rationale is that WP:FAC is a huge page which can take an age to load, hence any templates make it even longer.... Casliber ( talk · contribs) 02:05, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
Take a look at the page [1]]. At the moment there are over 400 entries in it. Men and women. If you're going to do gender, this category would obviously be empty. Except the person(Curiously enough the editor has commented at the deletion discussions.) who created sportsmen and sportswomen from Sydney over a year ago stopped doing the task of sorting by gender. Categorizing by sportspeople's location is a tedious job, and I've done it [2]. Want to spend 4-5 hours working on the rest of those Sydney sportspeople? Could take even longer but I'm calculating two a minute and that comes up to 235-240 minutes and 240 is exactly four hours. Not to mention go through People from Sydney(Plus racing drivers from Australia, jockeys from Australia, Kickboxers etc etc) to check for stragglers. It is easy to defend the category, maintaining isn't so easy. ...William 14:20, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, 99of9. Just so you know, I have
removed your
IP Block Exemption flag, as it appears that it is no longer required. From a check of your recently-used IP addresses, it does not look as though any of those IP addresses are blocked; IPBE is only granted on an as-need basis, and when that need no longer exists, the flag may be removed. If you encounter any difficulty editing as a result of this action, please post an unblock request using the {{
unblock|your reason here}}
template, mentioning the block message you are seeing. If you have any other questions, or you believe that you do still have a need for the IPBE flag, please let me know.

Hiya :-)
Don't suppose I could borrow a few minutes of your time to check on the FA nomination I've just made - for Norman Selfe. The first nomination was closed due to lack of comments and I was encouraged to relist it. Specifically there is a question about the copyright status of the Katoomba railway image that I'd like your advice on. Witty lama 10:41, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Toby. As someone who's commented on the Norman Self nomination, and now that the nomination is nearing the bottom of the FAC list with no new recent comments, I'd like to encourage you to make a statement of support/oppose or add new comments. This is the second time the article has been listed for FA as the first time was closed citing a lack of overt support votes. I'd hate for that to happen again. Sincerely,
Witty

Would it be alright to move the thread involving your initial comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Everything Tastes Better with Bacon/archive2 to the FAC subpage's talk page?
I know you said your question was in good faith, but as I stated I had initially became involved in this (and several other bacon-related articles) through participation in the "Bacon WikiCup" (more info at WP:BACON) and I fear that this line of questioning may negatively color the rest of the FAC. I'll go ahead and add a note to my own nomination statement clarifying how I came to work on this particular article.
