Good evening. I am trying to process your Content Review request. You asked to see the content at the time of the deletion discussion but I'm unclear on exactly which page(s) you wanted to see. The deletion discussion covered a number of pages. Please leave a note on my Talk page and I'll temporarily undelete the ones you need (though it may take a few days since, given the subject matter, that's not a task I can do on my work computer). In the meantime, I've posted the 6 July 2006 version of Playboy Cyber Club to User:TonyTheTiger/temp. Please add {{ db-userreq}} to the top of the subpage as soon as you no longer need it.

I did not close that discussion nor did I speedy-delete the category. Not sure who did and unfortunately don't have time to research it this morning. sorry. Rossami (talk) 12:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Well you do know how to pick 'em. I've been working on Hal Blaine for more than 15 years and I think most of the major pieces in the article were mine. I'm still considering adding the analysis of his work that i did while petitioning the R&R HofF to admit him [which i claim to friends was my doing] to the article. I went through the history of Willie Dixon three times before i even discovered what I'd added. Having found it i looked at it and at the time i contributed what i did, i figure [without doing the math] that my contribution added perhaps 10% to the article as it was then, so that's almost significant. [[see Rationalization, Chapter 7 of any Psy 101 text] . I have since stopped keeping track of a lot of that sort of stuff, but in 2004 it was heady business. As to where i draw the line between a minor edit and a sig con, well i guess i don't see it as a straight line. It's how i feel about the contribution when i make it rather than applying a rational, well-thought out formula to it. This sort of behavoir frequently gets me into trouble with thinking types - but that's life. And it's a good life. What was your question, again? Carptrash 18:19, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
The WNBA isn't part of the NBA. Several teams do not have counterparts in the other league, and obviously it's impossible for a player to transfer from one to the other. The two are different organizations, and their templates should remain separate. (I have no opinion on the D-League, however.)-- Mike Selinker 02:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up on your proposed merger. I happen to agree, but was afraid to get tangle in an edit war with someone who would insist on keeping Chairperson in favour of Chairman. Ohconfucius 04:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I am not sure what the significance of the Hawaii Winter Baseball league is--I hadn't heard of it till I saw it on your {{ Professional Baseball}} template. I think if it's notable enough to have an article--seems to be--and the players get paid to play, then it seems to be appropriate in the Winter Leagues section of the template. I'm glad you appreciated my help with the template. Thanks for making it! Rolando ( talk) 15:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Sure, bring up your concerns and I'll try to address them. As for not being a Hyde Parker, though... here is the view from the window that I am literally 6 inches away from as I type this. (Also, please remember to sign your talk posts! Thanks.) — Chowbok ☠ 19:41, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Apologies for not getting back to you on the haystacks; my energies are going elsewhere, and I have done very little wiki work lately. Could be I'm moving on, but if I think I can contribute again I will. Best regards, JNW 22:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
What do you mean by "preferred variant?" Where did you find this?
AFAIK the name can be spelled with or without the cedilla. WhisperToMe 23:55, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I don't think this means that Wikipedia prefers to be without cedillas, though. WhisperToMe 01:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I've made some comments on your Professional Football template, if you care to discuss them. For example, I think you should have left it as "North American Professional Football", since the majority of the world will read "football" to mean what we call "soccer". -- Bdoserror 22:14, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Tony, I saw your note at Wikipedia talk:User page. I made a version of your user page that puts the TOC to the left of the user boxes and immediately reverted it. Basically, I copied the source of {{ TOCRight}}, but removed the "clear: right". Feel free to use the layout if you like it (I personally think it looks crappy). Mike Dillon 05:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
So, the two ways of doing what I'm talking about are like this:
{{User:TonyTheTiger}}
)By doing this, you can use the "Related changes" link on User:TonyTheTiger/Watch related to see the related changes of everything on User:TonyTheTiger (except the stuff you put in <noinclude>, since it isn't included in User:TonyTheTiger/Watch related).
{{User:TonyTheTiger/Templates Created}}{{User:TonyTheTiger/Articles Created}}
)Let me know if you have any questions. Mike Dillon 15:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Have a look at Special:Recentchangeslinked/User:TonyTheTiger/Watch_related. I believe this is what you want. The trick was to not put the <nowiki> and <code> on User:TonyTheTiger/Watch_related. Those were just there to make the wikitext display nicely in my comment, not to be copied to the page; you were only supposed to copy the visual representation of the template call ;) Mike Dillon 21:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't recommend using <noinclude> on Cyber Girl of the Year, since main namespace articles are not generally transcluded. You'd have to stick it around pretty much everything in the article, especially any categories. There may be a legitimate reason to do this, but I don't think that facilitating a personal watchlist is one of them. I'd recommend maintaining your own list of the Cyber Girls on User:TonyTheTiger/Watch related itself. Mike Dillon 00:56, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
As noted at Wikipedia:Transclusion, putting a colon in front of the article name forces the transclusion to come from the main namespace. As for transcluding a section, I believe this has been recently added to the MediaWiki software, but not yet rolled out to Wikipedia (and I suspect it never will be). I saw it in the Wikipedia Signpost (cf. Labeled Section Transclusion). Mike Dillon 05:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
FYI: I changed your user page to use {{ TOCright|clear=none}}, since a "clear" param was added today. Mike Dillon 16:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the {{profootball}} template from the CFL page, because that template does not relate to the CFL. You'll notice that the CFL has been removed from the template too. In the discussion page for the template, someone pointed out that CFL is not a type of American Football, it is its own code, though it is similar. Therefore it doesn't belong on the template, and vice versa. -- Bdoserror 19:07, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
I included it based on personal conversations with non-NFL pro football prospects who rate it as about the 2nd best non-NFL job opportunity for pro football job seekers. The rules are slightly different and thus moving it down to an other category is probably the best thing to do in my opinion. TonyTheTiger 20:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:20061121 108 N. State Street.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
JC,
I was attempting to dazzle the wikipedia world with my multifaceted user box skills and you just erased all evidence from the face of the wikipedia earth. What do you have against user boxes with rounded corners? I believe they may be safer for young wikipedians. TonyTheTiger 22:04, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, it is not necessary (may even be seen as bad form) to add hatnote links to alternate spellings of names on articles that are already fully disambiguated. That is, it is very unlikely that a user would randomly get to that particular page intending to look for the generic alternate spelling. Soem editors even object to including otheruses on such pages. older ≠ wiser 12:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:1289 Grainstack at Sunset, Meule, soleil couchant, 1891, Oil on Canvas, Museum of fine Arts, Boston, MA.JPG.
