Hi Intelati :) This is a note to communicate my ridiculously late thanks for your voting in my RfA :) Astoundingly, and to the shock of everybody, the RfA passed :):) See you around. Sincerely. Wifione ....... Leave a message 15:50, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi there
Should I edit the reference section format? Right now, it seems like it is a continuous string even though the word document is properly formatted.
thanks

Just making sure you know, option two is to turn it off on the articles, rather than remove the extension from the Wiki, and then in November (when v.2 is released) we'll have a discussion (hopefully) about using it again, in another trial. Turning the extension off isn't going to happen, since the developers have said it could cause problems. Cheers, - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 19:02, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello Intelati. Thank you for the cookies!
i have an immediate question concerning the article i created. first, the photo link ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tess_Broussard_2010.jpg) had a copyright problem which i believe i have corrected. unfortunately, no one has gotten back to me and it is due to be deleted tomorrow. Second, the article i created Tess_Broussard is still marked as unreviewed. i've asked for a review but have gotten no reply. any thoughts.
thank you!!!!!!

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob ( talk) 23:36, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, look I'm not eliminated episodes of iCarly, what I do is update the ratings of the events of 2009, I hope I have clarified the doubts! Chane 815 ( talk) 19:38, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Now that is good writin'. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:14, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that on Inka 888's talk you mentioned that G1 (patent nonsense) is only used for articles which read like this:
ertbjw4e67nbiqw4i iaer ga7ertn8 w4tn7w45 8gwn96r7nbew9m w436
That might be the simplest way to explain it to Inka right now, but you might eventually want to point out that G1 also applies to random derailing sequences of words, incoherent babble, and articles with text that is in English but has little meaning and has no possibility of being made into a genuine article - for example, something like this:
I live in McDonalds and burgers are yummy. I like people. Give me yummy food.
Of course, now isn't the best time to bring this up, but just a suggestion for later. Access Denied [FATAL ERROR] 03:52, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:

Hi. Whilst I disagree with your reintroduction of the comment in section 3, I have no intention of edit warring about it. I would, however, be grateful if you would glance at User talk:Begoon#Poll to see a clearer view of my reasoning. The only thing that isn't mentioned there is the comment in your edit summary. The only reaction I really have to that is - it certainly doesn't look like a suggestion, bolded at the top of the discussion. I would say it is almost certain to look to most commenters like an instruction. If you do read the discussion at my talk page, of particular interest might be that it seems to contradict Jimbo's stated position that he has no objection to the section, and values comments in it. In any event, you are obviously free to take as much or as little notice as you like of my opinion. I've asked Ronk's permission to move that discussion to the talk page so it can get wider comment. Thanks for any time you spend considering this Begoon• talk 14:09, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I will back at 6:00 UTC time. If you want to do todays mentoring at that time I will be here; otherwise I will be tomorrow on my usual schedule. Regards, -- Inka 888 01:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month –
2010 Carfax 400, a recent good article
The 2010 Carfax 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on August 15, 2010 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Contested over 200 laps, it was the twenty-third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kevin Harvick for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Carl Edwards, who started twenty-fourth, clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner to begin the race, but Jimmie Johnson, who started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Greg Biffle became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 66 laps. Tony Stewart led after the final pit stops, ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. Harvick helped Hamlin to become the leader, but with twelve laps left, Harvick gained on Hamlin and claimed the first position with eleven lap remaining. Harvick maintained his position to claim his first Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway. There were five cautions and nineteen lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race, Harvick's third win of the season. The result maintained the first position in the Drivers' Championship and clinched him a position in the Chase. He remained 293 points ahead of second place driver Jeff Gordon and 353 ahead of Denny Hamlin. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty points ahead of Toyota and sixty-one ahead of Ford, with thirteen races remaining in the season. A total of 105,000 people attended the race, while 4.917 million watched it on television.

How nice of you! I have created some articles, but have not updated them for a while, and am currently working on the Roller Coaster Tycoon Three article as it needs lots of expansion. I actually expanded on it a long time ago but the original creator got upset and changed it back to his creation. I do play the game and have expierience but I have trouble with referances and hard details. Another thing, is it possible to change a user name, mine is RCt3Critic13 but it should have a capital T. I also used to be a LEGO fan but I no longer am as big of one as I used to be.

Hiya, I was just digging through some old AN/Is and noticed your "I resent that" joke here. It was in relation to this statement I made (I think): " or ask intelati (or someone else more experienced) to help or offer advice."
My sincere apologies. My implication (and thus how the statement probably should have been worded for clarity) was: " or ask intelati (or someone else more experienced than Inka 888) to help or offer advice."
Very sorry about that... and congratulations to you both for the amazing amounts of progress!!!! Rob ROBERTMFROMLI TALK/ CNTRB 01:05, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

considering oneself Brahman (Supreme Godhead, Krishna) is spiritual suicide. To avoid:
‘chaitanya-mangala’ shune yadi pashandi, yavana
seha maha-vaishnava haya tatakshana
If even a great atheist hears Shri Chaitanya-mangala (previous name for Shri Chaitanya-bhagavata), he immediately becomes a great devotee. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.132.108.252 ( talk) 15:52, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

When I delete another editor's message from my talk page, it serves as a receipt to you and to everybody else that I have read and thus, I acknowledge what you have written. I do not normally respond to other editors unless they have a particular question. If they leave just a comment, then I do not normally give a response. Rest assured, I do read each and every one of them. Regards. Yoganate79 ( talk) 06:36, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
I tagged an article for no references using friendly and it came up as me using twinkle. I'm not on firefox right now I'm using chrome. Any idea whats going on. -- Inka 888 00:10, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
I tried editing the page just to change the wording of something ("so doing" to "doing so" in the Accomplishments section), however, a large chunk the beginning of the section (and the article, when I tried editing the entire page, as you saw) got removed. I didn't notice this problem until after I edited the page. I don't know if it's my browser or not; I checked editing another page, but no chunks got removed when I tried to edit it (I'll double-check on that though). Sorry for that inconvenience. -- GVOLTT How's my editing?\ My contribs 05:37, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
