Action buttons
It seems that I can't find the reply (as posted on the talkback template)...perhaps you could direct me to it? Graham (talk, contrib) 05:38, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Oh wait, nevermind! It seems that you've archived it in archive 11 (my message is the last one!) I'll consider the help desk. Thank you, Graham (talk, contrib) 05:40, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

No source was given, but now that a reliable source was found, it can stay. -- iMatthew T.C. 01:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oh jeez, my bad! I read the edit summary wrong the whole time, I read it as "I'll add the source properly" and I undid that edit, because there was no source to begin with, and I got a little confused, Sorry about that. Cheers! -- iMatthew T.C. 01:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
WP:HAU, Status, and you!
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:53, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Jim Morrison and the Australian Broadcast Co. date changes
Hi. I noticed that you had left a strong warning in June at User talk:203.2.218.145 about the persistent changing of the date formats by this IP. They have continued to make this change since, and twice in the last two days. I was hoping you might watchlist this and intervene if this continues. Thanks!!

HP template
Hi Faithless. I see you added the List of characters as an article under the "Universe" section in the HP template. However, the List of characters already appears as the title of the "Characters" section, which is a link to the list itself. Also the title of the "Universe" section is a link to the Harry Potter universe article. I hope it's ok with you if I remove it, just let me know and I shall do it. Cheers! --LøЯd ۞pεth 17:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oops! I didn't notice this message before; I actually asked Chandler why he removed it, and he explained it to me. But yeah, when I make a mistake, please do correct it! We all slip up occasionally. :-) Cheers, faithless (speak) 07:58, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Baseball Newsletter
The Baseball WikiProject Newsletter | |
This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Blackngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept. |
Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29 |

Exactly why did you remove my previous edit? What was wrong with it? -A Prodigiy
- Please don't take offense if your edits are reverted. No offense is meant, and as a new user it may happen fairly frequently until you get the hang of things. Writing about fictional subjects is a tad tricky in an encyclopedia. I'd recommend giving this guideline a thorough reading. A couple of important things to remember: 1. plot synopses should be kept as short as possible, excessive detail avoided at all costs and 2. we must not write original research. The latter can be especially irksome, as we might think of certain things as being "obvious."
- I don't want you to get the wrong idea, your edits are very much welcome and appreciated, and you certainly seem to have what it takes to be a valuable editor. But there are going to be some growing pains while you learn the ropes - don't worry, we've all been there! If you have any questions or concerns, I'll be more than happy to answer them for you. Oh, and when writing on a talk page, you should sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). Cheers, faithless (speak) 18:46, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- OK thanks for clearing that up. No offense taken :-) A Prodigy (talk) 18:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Beatles newsletter July 2008

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter

Apart from the usual vandals, there is an ongoing problem with Wikipedia editors deleting free and fair-use photos because they don't think they are of any value to articles, even though this sometimes leaves articles with no photos at all. These editors do not leave notes on talk pages, so if you see that a photo has vanished, check the talk page and the history log.
It's been a while, but the newsletter's back! After a short discussion on the project talk page, seemingly unanimous consensus to bring it back was reached. This issue, and subsequent ones, will probably be shorter - as we kept running out of things to say before! There's a lot to say this month, purely due to the long absence of a newsletter, but we'll keep it as brief as possible. In order to get delivery by Denbot sorted, the special delivery interface has been changed slightly - but existing delivery options still stand. Inactive participants who want delivery should place their names on this list. If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 014 – August 2008). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

SLR
I apologise for being so stupid about writing about something that I am associated with. I assure you I'm not going to be so reckless with my article making/editing. You seem like a responsible Wikipedia user so I'm going to ask you for some help and advice. What I would like to ask is if it is possibly for you to help me on a page I'm making about a singer/songwriter called Gin Wigmore. My reasons for making the page are listed on the article's talkpage. Also, I would like to ask if SLR's album 'A Mystery In Its Own Right' would be relevant to include in the near future in Wikipedia. The album is on mini-disc. Many people, including me, have researched to see if any other band has used mini-discs and so far we have found none. This may be a world first. A Mystery In Its Own Right is about to be reviewed in a local magazine. Do you think it could possibly be included in Wikipedia then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmnm (talk • contribs) 04:28, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Proposal for standard infobox for History of [country] templates
Hi there! You're a member of WikiProject History, so I'm just informing you about a proposal I've made about standardizing History of [country] templates (like Template:History of France). The discussion is located at the talk page for WikiProject History—your comments and criticism are welcome. Thank you. Mr. Absurd (talk) 05:05, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
RFA Thanks
| Thank you for participating in my RfA, Faithlessthewonderboy! | |
| I am grateful for your confidence: My RfA passed by a count of 64/3/3, so I am now an administrator! Of course, I plan to conduct my adminship in service of the community, so I believe the community has a right to revoke that privilege at any time. Thus, I will be open for recall under reasonable circumstances. If you have any advice, complaints, or concerns for me, please let me know. Again, Thanks!

Protection for HP template
Hi Faithless. I come here to request protection for the HP template, as one user with sock puppets is continuosly adding the "Deathly Hallows 2" stuff in a vandalizing manner. Greetings! --LøЯd ۞pεth 03:17, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Opeth, sorry, I thought I had already replied to this. :P Anyway, yeah I considered protecting the template even before you posted this, but unfortunately there hasn't been "enough" disruption to justify protection per this essay which, though it is just an essay, is often viewed as gospel by admins when it comes to semi-protection. However, it does seem that the vandalism has died down on the template, so hopefully that's that. :-) faithless (speak) 09:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
