Hi, you know the league positions table image you created for the Sunderland A.F.C. article. Do you have any idea what has happened to it, as it doesn't seem to be have deleted but no longer exists. I'm confused. Thanks. Sunderland06 ( talk) 14:22, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

This message is being sent to the three editors that have opposed for this reason. I would like to apologize for doing anything that was perceived as canvassing. Once Gazinoff called me on it, I thought about the situation, and immediately refactored my comment. I did not think of it as canvassing because it was not said on multiple pages, and, looking over the terminology on WP:CANVAS (which I did not do in advance), was neutral, non-partisan, and open.— Kww( talk) 21:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello Garden. Thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for Adminship, which was successful with 111 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. I have to say I am more than a little overwhelmed by this result and I greatly appreciate your trust in me. I will do my best to use the tools wisely. Thanks again. Regards.

I think you may have missed this, but I left a question about the Wikicup here. Thanks, Spencer T♦ C 02:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I, one of the people with an account, noticed that you accidentally did an unnecessary thing, which was blocking the nighttime Wheel of Fortune game show page. There was no need for that, because nobody ever vandalizes that page enough for such a thing to happen. Besides, how would you feel if you were not a registered editor, and you wanted to edit something and you found out it was just blocked? Just put yourself in my shoes. I hope I'm not being rude, but I politely ask the block end this minute, please. Signed, Bob. October 12, 2008

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba ( talk) 16:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Garden. It's me, again. I was wondering how you send messages to other editors when they vanadalize pages, or how you manage to block pages from being edited by non-registered users. Please respond when you can. Signed, Bob October 18, 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.224.122.211 ( talk) 20:01, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading
Image:Tron poster.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 03:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Penubag has been hard at work developing awards for this project. He has completed a very professional looking medal, and is almost done with a trophy that is truly awesome - both of these awards are visually stunning.
I and a few others have been working steadily on the country outlines - one for every country of the world! They're shaping up nicely. So far, 28 of them have been moved to article space - these aren't complete, but they are complete enough to be made available for readers to benefit from them. The rest of the set still includes temporary data that was generated by template (because it matched most but not all of the countries), and before the lists can be moved to article space, all the temporary data needs to be checked for accuracy, and if incorrect it needs to be replaced with correct information.
The effort on the lists has been on 3 fronts:
There has been some opposition to us running the contest based on edit counts or iterations. The concern is that we should reward quality work and not quantity, for fear of crappy edits done quickly without thought. I pointed out that the collection of pages are drafts in the Wikipedia namespace (therefore posing no danger to article space) and that most of the work needs to be done with power tools like AWB and Linky (which are specifically designed for repetitive work), but the reply was that we shouldn't set the precedent of rewarding barnstars for numerically-based tasks, and implied the threat of continuously MfD'ing the contest if we attempted to do so (like they did with the Awards Center - I was very surprised and disappointed that participants didn't step up to defend it). So we need to be careful in determining what exactly the awards will represent, and how they will be awarded.
Since rewarding iterations (passes with AWB on all of the pages in the set) are out, we really don't need the globe in stand anymore. Two awards should suffice.
Once we get started with the contest, I'd like to kick the whole thing off with a round of medals for those dedicated few who have worked hard on the project so far.
What do you think of all of this?
Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.

Hello Garden! (formerly WBOSITG) :) I thought I'd stop by and say hi. Since I'm your adoptee, I was wondering how I am doing here on Wikipedia? Hope to hear back from you soon! -- Grrrlriot ( ♠ ♣ ♦ ♥ †) 03:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Garden! Thank you very much for your support and comments in the RfA. It passed today, and hopefully I won't let down your trust :) -- Ynhockey ( Talk) 21:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
How does R2 apply to this situation? R2 is rather explicit on which sorts of redirects it applies to, and this is not one of them. seresin ( ¡? ) 23:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
You seem to attack this matter with hostility. That seems irrational to me. Is there a reason for relentlessly jabbing at this issue? Plus, you should probably explain your reason for nominating it for deletion a little more. Reply to me on my talk page, please. - BlueCaper ( talk) 16:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
