Wikipedia:WikiProject Media Restoration

Thank you very much for your support at new project proposals. We've expanded the umbrella to cover audio restorations as well as images. Our shortcut is WP:WPMR. Hope to see you there and best wishes! Durova^Charge! 06:05, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again

Simple thing... but had not done it before. skip sievert (talk) 22:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

		The Account Creation Barnstar
		For your diligent work clearing the backlog at accounts-en-l, I hereby award you the Account Creation barnstar. It's thankless work but somebody's gotta do it! Nice job. –xeno (talk) 12:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

No problem, - you deserved it... Unfulfilled requests make a lot of sad pandas out there... –xeno (talk) 16:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Andrew marc

Just a friendly note on Andrew marc, which you deleted right after I removed the speedy tag. A five second gnews search showed pretty clear evidence that this is a notable brand, so I restored the article. Any issues with A7 / G11 are editing issues not deletion issues on this one. If you think it's too spammy to stick around, let me know and I'll whack it into a decent stub.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up - I thought it was a bit too spammy. If you want to sort it out, feel free. :-) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 23:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I'll take a chainsaw to it. :)--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:20, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Commulynx

You speedily deleted Commulynx (WP:N) - please can you delete its talk page, too? Or are you leaving it as a note to the creator to try again when his company is bigger, better, and notable? regards, TrulyBlue (talk) 12:47, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I just forgot about the talk page - thanks. :-) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 16:50, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm looking for a few good editors....

...who are willing to help hack through the labyrinth we call Wikipedia Policy. I've started up a project called Wikipedia:Policy condensing to help address the increasingly problematic instruction creep on the 'pedia. Ideally, this project will work to condense, merge, and in some cases delete the jillions of policies and guidelines into their basic components, so that both new and experienced users only have a few pages to read through if they have a question or concern instead of many. I'm hoping that once this project is through, we'll be able to reduce the number of policy and guideline pages by half while still keeping all the nuances and interpretations clearly available for users to understand. I'm contacting you about this because either you have previously expressed an interest in this, and/or I know I can count on you as a reliable editor who knows their way around the project. I'm not advertising this in the open just yet, as I'm hoping we can get a good foundation started with the few editors I'm contacting now so that when we do make this more public, we've already got a head start to show people what this project can do. So, if you've got the time and are willing, please stop by Wikipedia:Policy condensing and jump right in. If you have any questions, post to the project's talk page or leave me a note - I'll see it quickly either way. As always, thanks for your help. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:14, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Purple spiky plant

Hi. I see I picked a time when you're away from the 'pedia, but as I noted on the description page, I think your purple spiky plant is an Eryngium.

Did you know that when you upload a picture of something you can't identify, you can categorize it as something like "Unidentified plant", or narrow it down by family if possible? People sometimes look through those and ID the ones they can. Also, it's very helpful to give the place for any photo of flora or fauna, even if they are unidentified. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 03:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that - I am keeping an eye on things, even if I'm not doing much here at the moment :P. Again, thanks :-) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:41, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Glad if I can help. And I meant "even if they are identified". —JerryFriedman (Talk) 20:51, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
