Re: Props & ARHS kids

1. Thanks?
2. Yeah, I know them. In fact, Ben Mew is my cousin, well, 2nd cousin.
3. I've been getting really envious of late of the WikiChess players, as I find it highly unlikely that anyone will be able to create a Wikipedia based Scrabble game. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 00:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

The talk page is the perfect place for this. Email is used for private conversations or if someone is not active on Wikipedia at the time you want to reach them, although user talk pages shouldn't be used for instant messaging on unrelated topics. I would suggest looking at the NSA club listings for MA. If you add an email address in your preferences, found in the upper right of your screen, you can email other users who have also added their email. When you are on someone's user or talk page, there is a link in the toolbox, on the left hand nav bar. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 00:23, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Using talk pages

Oh yeah, one more thing. When writing on a talk page you should preserve your earlier comments, unless you are retracting your statements. Even if you are, it is preferable to add strikethrough like so:<s> TEXT BEING RETRACTED </s>. You can indent comments by using :, ::, :::, etc. Hitting a double return will create a new paragraph.

Brit comedy

Monty Python and Blackadder go without saying, but are you a Red Dwarf fan? I'm also interested in sudoku, btw. At least one, if not both, of the two Seattle daily newspapers runs a sudoku in the coffee break section every day. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 08:27, January 4, 2006

The Game

I just lost the game.Sumthingweird 13:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Kinda quiet here

No one has said anything to you for a while. Your having only made around 50 edits since January that weren't to your user page could have something to do with it. Anyway, just checking in. Glad to see you're still contributing. On the issue of your being from am-hurst, I you have my empathy. In the Seattle area, we have to get people to pronounce Sequim as skwim.

Update:If you hadn't heard, Ben Mew tried out for the national team but didn't make it. The Horsecows (Oberlin Ultimate) are going to regionals. He's making quite a name for himself. Players from other schools keep asking the captains where he transferred from because they don't remember seeing him last year. The look on their faces when we tell them he's a first year is amazing.—WAvegetarian•_{CONTRIBUTIONS}^TALK• ^EMAIL• 18:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Respect

Yes, you're right, I should really be more careful with my words! Sometimes I just get so impatient with amateurish contributions; particularly in Celtic studies, where there unfortunately seems to be an unwritten rule on the web that absolutely anything goes. However, taking your words to heart, I'm now going off to read Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers and hopefully return to Wikipedia a humbler, more welcoming person. Before I go though, I can't resist making an entirely unwarranted and wicked satire: "It has sometime been argued that Canada and Untied Sattes have a common border. Others say that broder is in North Ameria". Big up yourself, (and thank you very much for your compliments), QuartierLatin1968 22:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

==Notability of Solitaire Townsend==

A tag has been placed on Solitaire Townsend requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Never mind; I should have more closely checked your edit history. Sorry about that.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Living Liberally

I'm glad to see that you're interested in working on this article. I added the reference tag {{unreferenced}} as there are no reliable sources cited and {{originalresearch}} for some of the claims made by the article ("While numerous similar groups surely existed . . ."). I removed the {{npov}} tag, because, upon further review, the article does seem to be presented fairly. If there's anything with which I can help, let me know. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 17:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I would think so, at this point. You've made a good start here and I would love to see articles about some of red links that are mentioned. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 18:27, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Swing State Project

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Swing State Project, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
