A short break
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW...the picture from OCONTO, WI was NOT DOWNTOWN.... just a pic from the highway... you may want to edit that!!!! -JC
Hi- I will be taking a short break. I feel a litte discourage with some recent edits. One of them was with Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of the Lincoln, Nebraska diocese. Someone put in what I thought was vandalism a paragraph about the sexual abuse scandal & with no citation added at all. Also I reverted changes in the Medford, Wisconsin article about notable people and got reverted. I just found out I was personally attack back in May of 2007 regarding the Medford, WI article. Consequently, I will be taking a short break. Besides, I have some things pertaing to my alma mater my high school this winter.I probably will come back after Monday January 28, 2008. Please send my greetings to the crew at WikiProject Wisconsin especially Users:OrangeMike and Merenta who edits the Waukesha related articles. Most likely I may will return sooner then Monday. Many thanks for your kindness and understanding.RFD (talk) 13:52, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have reverted both and given warnings to each of the other parties. The other editor on the Medford, Wisconsin article appears to be doing vanity edits. I didn't see any good edits from the account, and I saw several uncivil comments, so I gave a final warning. The edits to the Bruskewitz clearly violate WP:BLP since they are unsourced and very controversial, so I reverted them. Royalbroil 15:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your help and kindness. RFD (talk) 16:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- I did not stay away from Wikipedia too long as you can tell. Enjoy the trivia contest in Appleton. I still have Founders Day involving my alma mater Aquinas HS in La Crosse this weekend. I will not be doing too much with Wikipedia during that time.Thanks-RFD (talk) 13:49, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! We were in 34th place at the first checkin at 3:00am, 5 hours into it. I got 4.5 hours of sleep last night. Royalbroil 13:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Founders Day at Aquinas HS went well. I started an article about John Catlin. He was acting governor of the Wisconsin territory that was not part of Wisconsin when it was admitted to the union on May 29, 1848. I can not stay away from Wikipedia too long. Thanks-RFD (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:NASCAR99CoverArt.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NASCAR99CoverArt.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 14:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't mess with fair use anymore, so I removed it from the article so it can be deleted easier. Royalbroil 14:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!
Hey Royalbroil, I just wanted to say thank you for your kind words and support in my RFA. I was taken back the amount of support I received and will work hard to live up to those expectations. I look forward to working with you in the future, and if you ever need anything, feel free to come and ask!! I hope all is going well.

Lucien Lagrange Architects
Is Lucien Lagrange Architects ever going to the main page?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 22:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have 30 hours left in a 50 hour wikibreak while doing a trivia contest. I haven't picked DYK hooks for several days and I won't be doing any for 2 days. I put in my opinion in favor if it gets a minor change on the suggestions page. With it being already 2 days past, I doubt it would be selected. I notice that User:BorgQueen has been updating a lot this past week. Maybe that's who you should talk to. Royalbroil 23:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I promoted it already. Gatoclass (talk) 18:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- Great! 12 hours left in the 2008 Great Midwest Trivia Contest. I'm happy with our results. Royalbroil 18:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- After working on DYK all this time, you ought to be an expert at trivia by now! :) Gatoclass (talk) 18:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- My trivia interest predates Wikipedia by a long shot (since 1989). This is my 21st trivia contest between 3 contests. Royalbroil 18:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

DYK
Hi
RU available? You offered a lesson in DYK updating? and its ready now (I think) Victuallers (talk) 12:08, 29 January 2008 (UTC). THx anyway RBroil-Got it now .... I think Victuallers (talk) 17:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
AWB
Several times I have found my watchlist glowing with your edits related to combining the various Christian music WikiProjects into one. You should consider getting an Auto Wiki Browser to automate this process. You should easily be here long enough to meet the requirements. You shouldn't need to have anyone vouch for you, but I would if you need it. Royalbroil 21:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks I haven't had a chance to really research AWB yet. Since most of the major project edits are done I probably won't be doing a lot of heavy lifting like that for a while. If something else comes up I'll look deeper into it. Thanks again. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 10:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Importance Ratings
My only concern is that your rating system is a bit too bottom heavy. Perhaps combine the top two categories into Top Importance, move Mid up to High, and add in a Mid category for extremely important aspects within one of our areas, such as famous bands, or whatever, and let the low importance stuff include the less important bands. I don't think it's right for a band like dc talk or Jars of Clay to be rated as low importance, when it's going to be getting a lot more traffic than a band like Blaster the Rocket Man, and therefore needs to be of a higher quality. -- PEPSI2786talk 03:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would put dc talk and Jars of Clay both at "High" importance because they are well known even to mainstream audiences (especially Jars of Clay). Royalbroil 03:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- I moved the discussion to the Project's discussion page. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 10:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Tarck bike
FYI: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tarck bike. You seemed to think it had promise & might want to fight its corner. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for notifying me, but I'll pass at this time. I do think that it deserves its time at AFD. Royalbroil 03:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Image
Thanks for deleting it - I just screwed up naming it when I uploaded it from Commons (only my second time updating DYK to the the Main Page and the first time the image was on WP, so I just protected it then). The Archives DYK links to the correct (Commons) version of the image, so it should be fine.
Thanks for doing the DYK update - I saw it was overdue, but had no time to do the notifications (though I would have had time just to copy to the main template and purge the cache). Has there ever been discussion of having a bot do the notices (perhaps with the name of the admin who did the Update given, in case there were questions)? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 15:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Having bots to update the template were proposed several times, with the last time here. I don't remember reading a proposal that a bot would do the notifications. It sounds like a good concept. Royalbroil 15:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. I will try and bring it up on the DYK talk in a day or two, along with the idea to have a "DYK update how to guide" for inexperienced admins - perhaps if there was a clear guide, more admins would help. I also think it would be a place to put information like the script from Lar, and whatever other time saving ideas/tricks people have. Thanks again, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Excellent. Please paste in a link for me so I can help contribute to the discussion. I do find the scripts difficult to run on my relatively slow broadband and on my slower PC. Royalbroil 16:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Medford, Wisconsin
You probably need to keep an eye on the Medford, Wisconsin page again. The adding of non notable names. Thank you-RFD (talk) 12:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Speaking of Medford, Wisconsin, there has been some question of exactly when the psychic Jeane Dixon was born-1904 or 1918. The CNN obituary said 1918 which I put in as a citation but kept being removed with no comment on the Jeane Dixon talk page. Mrs. Dixon was born in Medford, Wisconsin. Stay tune-Many thanks-RFD (talk) 14:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I have no problem with the block. Good work, Gwernol 03:41, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

A Barnstar Thank-You
Thanks for awarding me the Original Barnstar! See my comments about it on my talk page. I was surprised to find it on my talk page this morning! Thanks again! --JamieS93 (talk) 21:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Kulwicki
Will do. Could I also ask a favour - could you have a look at Max Mosley - I'd like to know if it's comprehensible to someone who doesn't have a Euro racing background. And indeed any other comments you may have. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 09:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, but it probably will take me a several days to get to it. Royalbroil 12:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, you were quicker off the mark than I was! It may take me a little time as I'm reconstructing the floor in our spare bedroom (having made a mental note to get the surveyor to do a proper job before I next buy a house!). Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 08:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- Extending my thanks to you for your peer review the comments are really useful, it’s always useful to get a fresh pair of eyes! Tommy turrell (talk) 14:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Racine Art Museum
Hi! A new article about the Racine Art Museum just came through. I did some editing including adding the museum's website. Would you please take a look at it? I don't know if there was copyright violations or not. It is not my place to make a decision on that. Thank you-RFD (talk) 19:21, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- I would expect that everyone looks for copyright violations and deals with them in some way. Royalbroil 19:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- I could not find any websites where this text was lifted from. I'll assume good faith even though it is fairly well-written. Royalbroil 19:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking at the aricle. I watch for any new articles that come through that concerns Wisconsin especially the ones about history and geography. Thanks-RFD (talk) 19:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
;-P
Thanks. --BorgQueen (talk) 20:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
capital Punishment in Wisconsin
I came across an interesting article about Capital punishment in Wisconsin. I added the Wisconsin Historical Society dictionary term and made the article part of WikiProject Wisconsin.Ypu may want to see it-I thought it was a good article, Thank you-RFD (talk) 20:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Look who's back causing trouble and a likely lifetime ban...
None other than User:86.4.20.46, and on the NASCAR pages as well, changing the 3M Performance 400 and the June race at Michigan. This man needs to be 86'd from here for life for countless violations IMHO, this is the last straw. NoseNuggets (talk) 6:20 PM US EST Feb 17 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 23:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Anons don't get lifetime bans, even when they're bad like this one. There has to be recent vandalism to give a block, for blocks are only given to protect the encyclopedia. Royalbroil 01:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Tilleda, Wisconsin
I think you should add the ice skating photo at Tilleda, Wisconsin. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 13:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- My apologies-I am getting over from a nasty bout of the flu and probably misread the messege. I like the photos. The store at Waukau, Wisconsin was one of the ones I like. I don't know too muck about car racing- but I am glad the ice is thick enough to hold the weight of the cars. Thanks-RFD (talk) 17:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
In my book, to wikify means not just to add good links, but to take out the bad ones. I did it myself. Can you find some better cites than their own web site? Bearian (talk) 01:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin
The sentence should be sourced or else be removed. I don't watch that much television and with most of the movies, television shows, sports, etc. I am not familiar with most of them. Semi-protection of the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin is in order-this is an edit war going on. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 14:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I look at the Point Place article that this is based upon. The article also claims Kenosha, Wisconsin as well. There was a tag that the Point Place article is from mainly one source and needs to be rewritten with more then one source. Therefore, to resolve the Fond du Lac article edit problems, attention has to be given to the Point Place article as well. Incidentally, I never heard of Point Place until now. Thank you-RFD (talk) 14:47, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I was glad to help out. The Point Place website mentions the program is based upon Green Bay, Wisconsin but it could anywhere in Wisconsin. Whoever, put that in in the Fond du Lac article thought it was that city. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 15:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I hope my edits to the three articles involved are appropriate. We're in Hollywood's "Wisconsin" now; remember the Rome, Wisconsin of Picket Fences: the small town with only a couple of lawyers (but its own TV station and big hospital), with the snow-capped mountains visible in the distance? --Orange Mike | Talk 15:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- One nice thing about Wikipedia is the WikiProject Wisconsin! We help each other out and providing information about Wisconsin. Thank you-RFD (talk) 15:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for taking so long, RL briefly got in the way. --Chr.K. (talk) 15:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know if you're still watching this article, but would you stop by the AfD page Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/SocialPicks to offer your opinion on whether the article is notable? Thanks. Dimension31 (talk) 00:21, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message. I don't know and frankly I don't care. Royalbroil 03:15, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Copy edit swap
Hi Royalbroil, That sounds great! I'm stepping out right now, but I'll get to it when I return in a few hours. Cheers, -- twelsht (talk) 18:14, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- For now, I made a few minor edits, some of which (as it turned out) echoed comments in the archived PR. The piece seems quite comprehensive, but it could benefit from the introduction of a "Personal life" section. It sounds as though Kulwicki was absorbed by his work and had few close friends. Still, information about his relationship with family members, etc., would help to humanize him. Given that Kulwicki was widely identified as Polish American, I was surprised that there were few references to his ethnic background in the article. Perhaps you should at least mention that his parents (or one of them) were of Polish origin. I will be away from the computer for a couple days because of an unforeseen development. But I'll be more than happy to write a review on Monday. Cheers, -- twelsht (talk) 04:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Your characterization of him as being absorbed by his work and having few close friends is exactly right. That's exactly what he was known for: quiet, studious, loner, laughed at by some of the other drivers. I don't want to say bad things about him in his article. That's why there's no "personal life" section. He was known for not dating because he didn't find women up to his standards. His mother and brother died when he was young, so he only had his father who either lived on the road or was working at the shop. His father was very well-known in the state and region for building awesome engines so I'm sure that he was contantly working.
- Kulwicki greatly changed NASCAR - it used to be a family sport and now it extremely businesslike with long days and living to work (vs. working to live). I wouldn't say that he was widely known as a Polish American, but it only came up at times during life, like the article conveys. I added that his city was known as a Polish American city. I don't know about Kulwicki's father heritage and stated that we was buried in his mother's family plot like other Polish Americans. Royalbroil 00:45, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Royalbroil, Thanks for your comments on Jack Warner! I haven't had a chance to look at them closely, but all of them appeared to be constructive and actionable. As you suggested, it may be possible to locate a free use image of Warner as a studio exec, given that his career traces back to 1918. I'll act on your recommendations this evening. For now, I printed up a copy of Alan Kulwicki (it's easier for me to review the hard copy of an article). I'll be ready with some comments later today. Cheers, -- twelsht (talk) 16:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
IROC project
One other possibility regarding what to do with the above project comes to mind, although you might not find it a particularly good one.
I am not myself a particular fan of motorsports, so I don't know how many if any other defunct racing organizations are out there. If there are many or even any others, then it might not be a bad idea to propose that they be included within the scope of the reorganized group as well. Also, and this is very much something with which reasonable people could disagree, it might be worthwhile to perhaps consider setting it up as a joint subproject with Wikipedia:WikiProject History. For what little it might be worth, I have personally gotten the definite impression that the average editor, or even average project, gives at best secondary consideration to content relating to historical matters, and the same might be true of the motorsport project as well. If that is the case, then the content might get a bit more focused attention as a subproject of a group which is specifically devoted to historical matters. Anyway, just an idea. John Carter (talk) 18:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Re-wording
Yep - but it'll probably be Monday as I'm busy today. Will leave my comments here. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 09:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Is there a designated 'Polish-American' section of the cemetary? If so, how about:"Kulwicki was buried in the family plot in the Polish-American area of the Saint Adalbert Cemetery in Milwaukee." If there is not a designated area, how about: "Kulwicki was buried in the family plot at the Saint Adalbert Cemetery in Milwaukee, in an area where there are many Polish-American graves." The latter is a bit clumsy, and also requires you have a source for the fact that the other graves are Polish-American. How does one identify a Polish-American grave? I'll come back to this later, but let me know what you think of those two. 4u1e (talk) 17:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- I like the second option better. It didn't appear to be an official Polish-American section, but the section was different. The rest of the cemetery has one stone to mark the person that's buried there. Several stones in that Polish American section had the name of the family written in large letters on a large stone, with the family member's names written in small letters along the base of the stone. Here's the full picture of the family gravestone. Do you think that this topic is important enough to spend time on? I don't think it's worth much time. Royalbroil 01:12, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you
Many thanks for blocking User:Garystaff even for a s short time my user page was also blanked by the same editor. Another editor reverted this. But I feel more part of Wikipedia now that my user page was vandalized! Many thanks-RFD (talk) 00:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- I do avoid edit wars-but with vandals you keep reverting the vandalism and some of them think you are reverting their changes. This is a learning process for myself. Thank you-RFD (talk) 00:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Jack Warner
I've finished commenting on Jack Warner, if you want to get stuck in. Alternatively you might want to wait until Twelsht has addressed or rejected my comments! Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 18:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll wait until your comments are addressed before I review, so hopefully I will be notified. Royalbroil 01:05, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Royalbroil, I just returned to my computer (a bit later than anticipated) and began to address 4ule's comments. When I'm finished, I'll let you know, and I'll move right on to the Kulwicki article. Cheers, -- twelsht (talk) 04:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- I just finished addressing 4ule's comments on Jack Warner and will move on Alan Kulwicki tommorrow. Cheers, -- twelsht (talk) 03:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've finished most of the peer review comments to the Kulwicki article. I'll probably be done by the time you read this. I'll review Jack Wagner's article when I get done with implementing these peer review comments on Kulwicki's article. Royalbroil 03:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ltc logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ltc logo.gif. 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) 23:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Someone put a different image on the article, making this image an orphan. I speedy deleted it as sole author. Royalbroil 01:04, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there-- You've put together an interesting article. I had a vague memory of reading about auto racing being done at Rockingham Park in Salem (it's now just horse racing), and I was just now able to find mention of board racing on the racetrack's web page. So I'll fix that bit up. See you, --Ken Gallager (talk) 22:35, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh i have just gone off at a tangent. The +ve feedback (thx) should assist my memory of stuff to do Victuallers (talk) 22:59, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!
Many thanks for the Barnstar! I've had a horrible cold the past few days, and that was a bit of a bright spot. :)
I'm not quite done with the full list yet, and I've got some cross-referencing and verification to do. Speaking of references, do you think each line of the chart needs specific cites or can I just use a single "References" section at the bottom? (Each track would naturally have more specific source references on its individual article anyway.) Duncan1800 (talk) 02:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Advice wanted
Hey Royalbroil! I wanted to ask you a question about what to do with images that are potentially violating Wikipedia copyright rules. Recently a new user, Hellcat854, uploaded and added images to the Kutless and Flyleaf articles. There's no description or copyright information on either image. While I haven't actually searched around for copyright info on those pictures, I've seen them all over the web quite a few times (especially the Kutless one), and they seem professional; so I'm suspecting they're copyrighted. I've already talked with the user who uploaded them, requesting more info about the images, but they haven't returned since then.
I've never quite dealt with this type of thing before, and neither have I really observed what happens in a case like this, so I wanted to ask someone with more experience what to do and where to go next with this. Do we try to get copyright info on the pictures, then flag them for deletion if sufficient information is gathered? I'm going to go ahead and right now be bold and remove the images from both articles. Thanks for any pointers. :) JamieS93 03:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- I got the Kutless image listed for deletion here, following the steps given under the WP:IFD. --JamieS93 14:50, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- I know, I went ahead and listed it for the normal IFD, 'cause I figured it probably wouldn't pass anyway, as you said. Many thanks for the assistance! --JamieS93 15:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

You did an excellent job with the Alan Kulwicki article. It was well written and very interesting. Thanks-RFD (talk) 18:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)Thanks! I thank the main eyes that have peer reviewed the article, whether or not their review resulted in many changes. It's close to a GA nomination and hopefully FA shortly down the road. Royalbroil 18:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Yahoo! Fantasy Sports
Page has been nominated. Please go to the articles for deletion page to enter the discussion. -UWMSports (talk) 19:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, I agree with your points on the discussion in keeping the article. I think keeping a list that shows the start/end dates is relevant. The fifth year of something is meaningless, but the start and end certainly is meaningful. If you want, we can fix up that page together over the next couple days. My main concern right now is SportsMaster's attitude. You've been defending him and he doesn't even reply to your comments. I really don't want to contribute to it if he keeps reverting our edits.-UWMSports (talk) 20:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- UWM is a college sports program. There are millions of usernames that say "YankeesFan" or "GoIrish". -UWMSports (talk) 20:52, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm defending the need for having that article, not SportsMaster's edits or attitude. Contributors generally don't mess around real long with someone who doesn't work well with others before they get frustrated like you are right now. Let it go, it will pass. I recommend that you stop watching his contributions. Others will eventually see his edits and deal with them if they're bad. It's very frustrating to spend time working on an article just for someone to delete it.

- Lets merge Yahoo! Fantasy Sports and Yahoo! Sports together. Both need alot of work, I think together they can help each other out greatly. -UWMSports (talk) 00:22, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, lets see what happens over the next week or so. If I'm proven wrong then I will tip my hat to you guys. Both pages have been around way over a year though, but hopefully something can be done with them. -UWMSports (talk) 03:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- I apologize if it wasn't written clearly. But to say it doesn't look any less than an advertisement than something else falls under WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. However, no decision was reached on its suggested deletion. I say we merge the article without getting everyone involved again if no one upgrades the article from its current state the next few days. -UWMSports (talk) 17:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Lost hook?
Hi Royalbroil, I can't seem to find a hook I entered in DYK Feb 24, it's about the novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, along with suggestions from other eds. Can you find what happened to it, please? Julia Rossi (talk) 21:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- It got loaded into the Next update, where articles are staged before hitting the main page. It just got loaded on the main page and you should be notified shortly. Royalbroil 02:37, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Renault R26 Flickr photos
Thanks for keeping an eye out for F1 photos on Flickr. Unfortunately, I think that the images are of a reliveried Benetton B200 as opposed to a Renault R26 (see here for some comparison), so none are worth uploading in my opinion.-- Diniz (talk) 19:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Caroline Ingalls/Dismont Cryteer
Hi- I had to revert some edits to the Caroline Ingalls articles on grounds of vandalism and a possible hoax. An editor started an article about Dismont Cryterr who supposedly married Caroline Ingalls after the death of Charles Ingalls. They were the parents of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I did a google search of Dismont Cryterr and came up with no information.I am trying to assume good faith and not to bite new editors but I personally feel Dismont Cryterr does not exist and this is a hoax or experiment being done. Thanks-RFD (talk) 12:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Closing RfAs/RfBs
Hi - thanks for your message. I've got no objection to signing when I close an RfA or RfB, but it's never been standard practice. You can see the instructions to bureaucrats at WP:BUR; if you find a signature on closing useful, can I suggest bringing it up at WP:BN?

Racing in Illinois
Actually, I think the way you have it is closer to what Wiki should be. I really didn't have any "historic" information in the "History" section. If I can do enough digging, I might be able to come up with the beginnings of racing in Illinois, which would make a "History" section needed.
If you do the Racing in Wisconsin article, remember that CORR and SODA both started there, and that the WSORR is now the prevalant off road racing sanctioning body in the area. Jgrace1294 (talk) 20:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yea, I went to one or two SODA race at Road America. I love off-road racing. One of my short to medium-term goals is create article about the big CORR and SODA racers.

Hi, been meaning to reply to your good wishes. I am using the admin powers for DYK but little else. Which is good I think as I don't really want to join the full time wiki police. Thanks for the help on the main page ... I didn't check that the page that I loaded was protected although as you saw I had created a protected image. Damn! Still if they wanted infallibility then they'll need to get some gods. I did clear the dyk list on the main page once by mistake but luckily I think I was the only admin who spotted it. Do keep watching .. I'm sure I will trip again. Thx. Roger aka Victuallers (talk) 19:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
A Favour
Hi Royalbroil. Can I ask you a favour? Would you be able to move Nelson Piquet Sr. (racing driver) back to Nelson Piquet, per this discussion at WP:F1. Because the redirect has been edited since the original move, it needs admin assistance to move it back. I've listed it at WP:Requested Moves, but there seems to be a bit of a backlog there at the moment. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 21:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for your message - Image:Flag President of Ireland.svg has been zapped. Perhaps next time I'll include in the upload edit summary that it can be deleted on sight once it's off the main page, to make it clearer. Thanks, BencherliteTalk 07:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
...Or I could just learn to use {{C-uploaded}}, which does the job for me... BencherliteTalk 08:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Jos LeDuc review
Hi, sorry about editing the talk page while you were doing your review on this article. I didn't realize you were adding any more right away. Anyhow, I hope you don't mind that I've been working on your concerns while you're doing the review. I just happened to have some free time tonight. As for the article, I think I've overdone the "out of universe" thing in some areas, as this was the first wrestling biography article I've written, so your suggestions on how to fix awkward phrases are greatly appreciated. Thanks for offering to do the review. GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks again for the review. I believe I've fixed everything from your list except the hall of fame thing. As I explain on the article's talk page, the SLAM! Wrestling Canadian Hall of Fame isn't a real hall of fame so much as the name of a website. Please let me know if anything else needs fixing. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've made all of the new changes you requested. The reason that the Yukon Lumberjacks thing didn't make sense is because it's not true. They were inspired by a different Yukon Eric, so I changed the information. Please let me know if there's anything else that needs to be done. Thanks againn, GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- My intention wasn't to annoy anyone. I had discussed an idea with another editor about trying to make a focused effort to reduce the backlog by asking each of the sports projects to review two articles. If you think this will just come across as unwanted spam, I am willing to remove the requests. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about the misunderstanding. I would love to see the backlog reduced, so I really appreciate editors like you offering to review articles. Like you said, I intended this as a nudge rather than trying to pressure anyone into anything. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh ok, in the article Jim Trueman I put the article up for speedy deletion because it was such a small article.

Still a little new at this whole thing so sorry for the misunderstanding. Feel free to contact me for anything, If i screw up again especially. I would appreciate it if you could throw me a few links on templates and such for reference.. i don't have much knowledge of them and most of the time I am having to edit and re-edit because the template i used was wrong. Also, how would i be able to rollback an article to a previous revision as some vandals like to edit, reedit and such, and i get a little confused so i just pass it up.

Adoption
I was wondering if you would be able to adopt met as a user on Wikipedia. I used to edit Wikipedia anomlysly and just began with a user name. I have noticed that I don't know too much about the technicality of Wikipedia and a lot of the "in-site concepts." I noticed you were an administator, so you have been around here a while now and know what Wikipedia is about. If you are unable to for any reason that is fine, and I could have someone elese (another administrator) that may adopt me as a user on Wikipedia. Thanks for reading my message.
Problem
I have been seeing people talk behind my back about me. Mostly about my adoption program. I would like you to check User talk:Toddst1. You'll notice it around the bottom. I would like your opinion.--RyRy5 talk 06:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for answering. That edit was a mistake, and I'm sorry if it caused any trouble. I thought is was a page blanking with a nonsense edit summary.
- When I siad "Until I am an Admin", that only meant if I could ask her once more for adoption when I'm an admin with more experience. I looked at my archive and I didn't know that she sent me a message, telling me she doesn't want to talk to me again. It was probably becuase Queerbubbles and another person sent me 2 messages in a few minutes. One was at the bottum and the other, a few messages up. I then must have only read the bottom message. That's why I always check the history of my talk page to see if anybody but who sent me the bottom message sent me another one.
- I have 5 adoptees. One has been inactive for a long time (User:Tubesurfer). The adoption program is when I give my adoptees tests, and if possible, I also let an admin grade them. This helps my adoptees study more while taking tests. I would like your opinion on the Adoption Program. Thanks.--RyRy5 talk 17:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
