Hello, and Happy New Year! Trivial matter, but I re-wikilinked Happy New Year! (including the punctuation) after creating a redirect because I thought it looked slightly nicer with the whole thing linked. Please feel free to revert me if you liked it better the other way. Take care. -- Bongwarrior ( talk) 08:29, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
I don't suppose you have a doggie doing something as cute. I would love to have it if you do. Happy New Year. Mugginsx ( talk) 19:48, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
You're back!?! Hope 2012 is great for you!-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 03:51, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Please do not revert good faith edits as you did at Yale University. Rollback is only supposed to be used for vandalism, And I have reverted my edit back to what is is. If you continue to use rollback in such a way it will be revoked. If this is disputed, discuss with me, rather than revert. Abhijay ( ☎ Talk) ( ✐ Deeds) 05:35, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks George. I'm going to reply here, because there's no need to do this by email, though I appreciate why you thought it might be best, and thanks for the consideration.
George, if you can format that discussion better, please do, and thank you. I looked at it, and decided that, with replies within my comment, it would take me too long. As I say, format ahead - you have my permission to move my comments to help the format, in case you're concerned about talk page rules and not editing comments. Thanks Begoon talk 01:00, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I just wanted to acknowledge that I made a mistake when I wrote that "noone seems to think" when your last comment clearly argues against a redirect, and I'll adjust my phrasing accordingly. However, even taking that comment into consideration I still think that there is a firm enough consensus to redirect. Cheers/ Pax:Vobiscum ( talk) 11:31, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Mugginsx ( talk) 11:20, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! It is perfect. I hope I followed you instructions correctly. Mugginsx ( talk) 09:55, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
I cannot put it on my user page no matter what language I show in edit mode the pic does not show. Sorry to be a dummy. I just "copy" other pics from articles. Do not actually know how to do from original upload. Any size will do from largest to smallest. Thank you so much. Mugginsx ( talk) 10:23, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Beautiful! Thanks you so much! Mugginsx ( talk) 10:33, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Green Cardamom has recently rewritten the proposed entry to avoid OR. I wonder if that changes your mind. -- George Ho ( talk) 07:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Begoon, I'm here to notify you that I have responded to your message at the talk of Yale University. Apologies for the rant earlier. I understand I went a bit over the line and lost my cool, but I'm really sorry. Abhijay ( ☎ Talk) ( ✐ Deeds) 10:00, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for saying hi, and I am sorry to hear of your loss. When I saw you were down, had to come by and check on you. I wish the very best for you and all those you love.-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 12:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Good Morning, I apologize if adding the external link was not allowed. I am new to working on blogs and websites; I am learning how to add links to my page so I will be more careful in the future.

Hey there, I've added a discussion on the Toy Story 3 page. Just thought I'd let you know. Charlr6 ( talk) 13:51, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Ah, edit conflict because I was typing out a longer revert message ("rv; unsourced (nocturnal, "one weakness is stated as heat", "first official sighting", "only show itself to those who truly believe in it"), repetition (Newman's mistranslation) and misuse of source (Bigfoot sightings in all states, not Yeti)") - the editor was clearly trying to attach some sources by putting unfootnoted links at the bottom, and the "fun facts" link was a mirror of a National Geographic article which seems reliable enough. I agree that there's nothing salvageable in there, though. -- McGeddon ( talk) 11:26, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
A notification that the Templates for Discussion discussion (oy, repetition) has been taken to a deletion review discussion. The Article Rescue Squadron was notified, and as notifications to previous involved parties isn't normal practise, I and a few ARS members agreed that, in the interests of transparency and fairness, we should let everyone know...hence this talkpage message ;).
If anyone has an issue with me sending these out, do drop me a note on my talkpage. Regards, Ironholds ( talk) 10:28, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
My intent was not to deface the Kenya Airways Flight 431, although I can see how you might interpret it that way. I wanted to raise the issue because the error was on the main page, and I didn't know of the WP:ANI page, so I figured a big bold message at the top of the Kenya Airways Flight 431 page would get somebody's attention who would then correct the problem. Thanks for fixing the main page. I have a shared IP address that changes occasionally, so messages directed to this IP address may not go to me, but to somebody else in the building. 30 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.9.53 ( talk)

Hi
I noticed the note you left on George's mentorship page. Before I discuss it with him, can I check that Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2012_February_1#Lois_and_Clark and related discussions are the issue?
One of the things I've been trying to get George to do is to discuss any deletion listings before going ahead, and I've suggested how he can do this. It seems to me one of the problems here is he is being too literal again, and starting many discussions at once, so it seems like "forum shopping". Does that seem right to you, or am I missing more?
George has to bring xFD noms to the mentorship page for now, before listing, so there shouldn't be too much issue there at the moment, but we do need to talk about appearing to "forum shop" or keeping "rephrasing the question."
The last post by Dennis Brown in that discussion is very perceptive. Begoon talk 01:30, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I read your comments on my user talk page and I did give it some thought. I have decided to return back. Abhijay ( ☎ Talk) ( ✐ Deeds) 01:31, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words in support of my RfA, which was successful and nearly unanimous. Be among the first to see my L-plate! – Fayenatic L (talk) 14:03, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
You can go to my talk page if you want, but this would be best discussed here then. This file is known to be ineligible for copyrights due to lack of threshold of originality in the United States. Just one question: is this image eligible for copyrights in Malaysia? -- George Ho ( talk) 19:14, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

is a good idea, I did that for the same reasons on the Malaysia Coat of Arms, here:
[5]. I generally don't do SVG conversions for files like that straight away because it's ok as it is, and there may be an official version in a pdf or company brochure. If we can use something provided by the actual organisation, that seems better to me. Tagging it is fine though, someone may do it as it is in a category now. You can see the blurb I helped write about this here:
[6] under "General SVG requests:".

I wonder how you can talk about The Beatles' article when you have made no edits at all? Interesting, no?-- andreasegde ( talk) 18:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello Begoon, thought I'd leave a quick note to point you at this discussion one of your mentees initiated, apparently on a spur of the moment (it doesn't seem very well thought out). There's nothing wrong with it, or with his behaviour, just as of yet, but seeing as how I noticed he's under mentorship for whatever reason it might be a good idea for one or two of his mentors to monitor the discussion.
