Just a quick FYI...

I'm wandering around replacing PNG versions of US state flags with the corresponding SVG versions, and I noticed that in your "states visited" block, you've got Image:Flag of Georgia.svg (), which is the flag of Georgia (country). You might actually mean Image:Flag of Georgia (U.S. state).svg (), which is the flag of Georgia (U.S. state). — Wwagner 15:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Uranus

Hi, I think that "your anus" is needed material in the "uranus" article. It also even links to there (and it wasn't me). Dermann69 00:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC) → August 27 2006

Teke's RfA thanks

Thank you for your support of my RfA, which has passed with a final tally of 76/1/1. With this overwhelming show of support and approval I am honored to serve Wikipedia in the task charged to me and as outlined in my nomination. I also can't believe it's been three months already since I saw your helpme, good to see you dove right into work here. Happy editing to you! Teke ^(talk) 17:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar! It's good to know that 'less visible' work like stub-sorting does get noticed every once in a while. Have a great day and happy editing! ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 16:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

A RfA thank you from en:User:Xyrael

WikiThanks

File:AviXyrael.gif

I'd like to thank you WillMak050389 for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8)             —Xyrael / 12:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia. With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you. (Thanks go to Blnguyen for the incredible photo to the right.) alphaChimp laudare 05:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Help?

Do you need assistance with anything right now? I feel like I want to help people reduce their stress and the best way to do that, I think, is to give assistance with anything that might be causing them pain or stress. Just say the word, and I will help as much as I can, despite the fact that I am also making this speech to all the people listed on my page as my friends. I might be busy, I might not be. But don't let that stop you from saying what you need help with. I will do what I can. Have a nice day!!--Chili14 21:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Three letter words

Hi, The list (List_of_three_letter_English_words) we created is/was up for deletion. Another editor suggested moving it to: http://wikitistics.com . There no one will be able to nominate it for deletion because it fits one simple rule: it's a statistic, list, or figure. What do you think? Brian 03:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)btball

DOOP Logo

Image:Doop logo.png
Done and done! I've uploaded it as a new revision of the old one. I do still have the original SVG if needed... I've also created a small GIF file to illustrate the ambigram-ness of the logo. —Buddy13 18:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for reverting vandalism of my user page. --Aminz 08:20, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks for helping me with my article, leela's wristband.

Anti-Vandal Help

Howdy! Sorry for bugging you, especially with classes and all (I can empathize, being one who assigns things) but I was wondering - what is the best way for a non-admin to mark/punish/decapitate/etc a vandal. There have been a few cases lately of both IP vandals and folks with actual user names that I would like, erm, checked out, as it were. Thanks much, and hope you don't regret welcoming me to Wikipedia at this point  :) DukeEGR93 04:01, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

So, is your shirt in Cyrillic and thus say "ИАШОЯ" or is the picture backwards? DukeEGR93 02:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your hard work

Pilotguy is happy to award this barnstar to WillMak050389 for his hard work which makes Wikipedia a better place for everyone.

HS sucks when you have little time to edit Wikipedia. In any case though, keep up the hard work! It's hard to believe you're not already an administrator! // Pilotguy (Have your say) 01:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• The Bit I'm talking about is the admin bit. At least, pretty sure that's what it's called in the vernacular of the WikiTariat.. DukeEGR93 20:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

The fair use claim is extreamly questionable and even if it wasn't it isn't worth the hastle of allowing fair use images on userpages. We do not need them thus we should not use them.Geni 20:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

About that Futurama Userbox...

Why are you so intent on having it red anyways? Doesn't the purple one make a lot more sense since it matches the symbols? Have a nice Thanksgiving though! FireSpike 23:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello

I'm currently undergoing an Editor review, and am trying to get a large amount of replies. I am sending messages to those who left me a message on my talk page as a way of getting the word out. I encourage you to add your two cents to the review! Thanks for your time, and Happy Thanksgiving! FireSpike Editor Review! 20:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I changed my name!!!

I have had my username changed from Chili14 because I wanted an age-neutral name, which was not what I had before. I am now known as CJ King. I hope your classes are going well.--CJ King 23:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not at the computer that I found that at - but if I recollect correctly it was listed on E-bay! - I just double checked & it was sold already, but if you go to [1] there's another picture there - and if you have good eyes you might be able to read the information off the label there!

Request for help on Greg Camarillo

I'm bugging you for this because, months ago, you left the welcome message on my talk page when I was a new user. I'm still a horribly inexperienced user, but less new now, and I've run across something I don't know how to do and I'm hoping you can help.

Generally, I kill time on wikipedia by clicking "Random" and fixing whatever I find there -- a lot or a little, depending on how much time I have and how much fixing it needs. I ran across Greg Camarillo yesterday, and I worked on it some. He's a football player, and a lot of the other football players have their pictures in their infobox template (or whatever the proper name is for that block of info off to the right).

I don't know how to import a picture into wikipedia, though, or how to request it, if there is such a request template. Would it just be better to leave it blank? What do you think? Thanks in advance! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deltopia (talk • contribs) 14:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

• I gave it a shot; luckily there's no lack of photos of football players on the intarweb. Unluckily, I didn't find one with a public domain license attached to it, so hopefully it won't get deleted. Thanks very much for the help! (And I'll remember to sign my entries from now on!) Deltopia 22:24, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

I hope you get lots of presents and joy!--CJ King 23:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I live in Florida, so a white Christmas is not likely.--CJ King 16:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

{{User NHS}}

I want to userfy {{User NHS}} and was wondering if you could replace all of the user pages with this box to {{User:WillMak050389/User NHS}}. Thanks! --WillMak050389 05:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Database conversions

I had a look at MS Works Database functionality and it doesn't look like it has SQL querys (I assumed it would).

If you are able to copy the data to a spreadsheet program you could use the formula ="[[" & A2 & "]] by [[" & B2 & "]]" in column C. This is assuming that A2 & B2 are the first row of data in the spreadsheet and you would copy the formula down to the last row. Then the formula result's would be the data you were after.

If you have more than 65536 rows of information (The most Excel/Calc can hold) it would be better to use a database program, like Base or Access, which is a bit more long-winded.

Let me know how you get on. --Phydaux 22:45, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Futurama Fonts

You removed a direct link to a Futurama fansite hosting the fonts because "the site does not pay royalties".

The irony of the thing being that said site is the one that CREATED those font files, while every other fansite has older versions of said fonts (which is what prompted my direct linking to them).

Sure, the site did not create the font itself, but since the font is not a direct sampling of the original font used by the show's creators, it falls under the same area of all the "Serif-like" and "Times-like" font clones around.

I'm not reverting your edit again because I reverted it once. But before you "bet" on something, take a look at the contents first. All four Futurama fonts in there were created by Darrel Jonson (of an older site, Futurama Outlet, that gave them to Futurama Madhouse) or Leandro Pardini, one of the site's webmasters. -- 201.251.7.8 22:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:SteveMillerBandGreatestHitsalbumcover.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:SteveMillerBandGreatestHitsalbumcover.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is an automated message from BJBot 06:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:AllAroundBarnstar.PNG

Thank you for uploading Image:AllAroundBarnstar.PNG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you created this image yourself, please look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#For image creators, select one of those tags, and add it to the image. To do that, simply go to Image:AllAroundBarnstar.PNG, click "edit this page", and add the appropriate tag. Be sure to remove the current tag indicating a lack of licensing!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at User talk:Angr or at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. —Angr 16:21, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

WP:RM

Hi, I noticed that you just moved your own move request to the "incomplete" section. Sorry that I "changed the rules" in the midst of the game, but what you just did exactly wasn't the idea—the entire idea was that the proposers are encouraged to pay attention and complete the procedure (put request, put the {{move}} template on article's talk page, create the {{subst:WP:RMtalk}} for discussion), not that someone else does that for them (they might, but they're not obliged). So, please make your mind: are you withdrawing the request or are you going to complete it? Duja► 15:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, what the heck, I already moved the article; it's uncontroversial enough. Sorry for exercizing too much WP:BURO. Duja► 15:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

NHS

Who would have thought that NHS would be editing their own article, except their IP address is issued from Utah and not Virginia, which leads me to be skeptical of their edits. They are however, in violation of WP:COI as I brought to their attention on the talk page. But why they keep turning that article into a disclaimer, is a little ridiculous. If they continue we might have to seek administrative intervention. What do you think? Take your time, senior year was a pain at that school of ours. Darthgriz⁹⁸ 15:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Hayden Panettiere image

The image I put on the Hayden Panettiere article was from the Claire Bennet article. I figured if it was being used on that article, then it would be alright to use it on the Hayden Panettiere article as well. But I guess not, since you reverted it. 70.17.145.115 23:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The Sim vandalism

I wanted to ask your opinion about the continuing vandalism on The Sims page concerning child sims being sent to military school, since you reverted the change and noted it was repeated vandalism. The IP has been changing the information without ever discussing their edit in either the edit summary or on the talk page, though I've repeatedly asked them to. I had put a series of warnings on the users talk page and reported the user, but was told that was the incorrect route to go. Do we keep reverting the edit or is there more that can be done?
