Hello. I realize that you're on break, but I decided to ask this anyway even though I'll probably have to wait a while for a response. I noticed an edit on the Spontoon article. There's a new paragraph about Lewis + Clark using it. After each sentence, though, it says "see this, see that, etc". Shouldn't there be links there instead? And if there should be, how do you make them? Thanks, and have a great time on the Scavhunt!! ;) Ichliebezuko ( talk) 15:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

hello Gimme Danger! i received a welcome from you yesterday. thanks! i am not familiar with the social aspect of Wiki...does everyone get a welcome? or did i draw attention through an unintentional faux pas? if the latter, then i hope it was nothing too terrible.

Thank you for the offer. I am just getting my breath back after sertraline FA nomination, so I am not sure I can play any active role in such a project. I could help you out sometimes, but sombody else should drive it. I edited the SJW part mostly because it seemed to me that it is very well researched and widely accepted for the treatment of depression on par with conventional antidepressants. In that respect it is an opposite of most of the nutritional therapies mentioned there. Paul Gene ( talk) 15:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I was thinking about joining the Religion Wikiproject. I'm not really even sure of what my religion is, but I figured that this way, I could learn about different religions, figure out what I believe in, and help Wikipedia at the same time. Only problem is, with summer coming up, I'm going to be pretty busy and won't be able to be on wiki much. Do you think I should join anyway? (it does seem like the less time i think i have, the more time i actually do have, though, so maybe i will have time) A pyrate's life for me... ( talk) 15:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Came across your request for deletion as G7 while checking as reviewing administrator, ---but there was also an underconstruction notice.

Hi there, thanks for adding information to the Palyul article. Would you mind adding the source where you found that list? If you don't know how to format it, that's okay, just put what you think is relevant on my talk page and I can look it up. Of course, perhaps you just have that all down in memory, in which case... wow! -- Gimme danger ( talk) 03:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you can tell me how this is any better than my removal of a puppetmaster's soapbox trolling on a talk page.

Hi. First, I don't know why anyone would revert something without reading it esp. if it was a good edit. Your recent edit to the Heterosexism article wasn't good - it was excellent. Teasing out and recycling what the original contributor was trying to say was tedious enough for me. Thanks for polishing it!! -- CJ Withers ( talk) 02:50, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi I am lordlactose I am responding to the message you sent me. I have rackked up several infractions. I got them for posting my you tube video. Gwernol says it is against the rules. I asked him why this link exist then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:YouTube_videos. How come all of these people are allowed to do this, but I can't.
I also hope to edit the pages for adult twin studies, nature vs nurture, and maybe some others. I am a little afraid to though, because I have so many infractions. If I make one little mistake, I could be banned for ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lordlactose ( talk • contribs) 13:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Taivo. It means "ber farangiyya" in Soqotri like I am, too. There is a hard trend to see Soqotri as a West Semitic, like Prof. Alexander Militarev in Moscow does (his Semitic tree is hand-made due to the Russian publication conditions up today, but he is a real McCoy in Afrasian). talk 09:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I thought you might like to know that the Awards Center page has been deleted, along with its newsletter. :(
So, where do we go from here?
To new and even more interesting projects, of course!
As announced in the newsletter, I've been preparing to co-coordinate a large collaboration/competition called Around the World. It was going to be run at the Awards Center, but since that no longer exists, the collaboration will be hosted somewhere else.
Around the World will begin July 15th as planned - it's location will be announced soon.
It'll be a blast. In the competition, participants will be helping to develop over 200 pages (drafts, which will be moved to article space once they are ready), using advanced tools to edit every single one of them!
This is going to be interesting.
And the event shall have awards which are being created specifically for it as we speak!
If you would like me to keep you informed of this and other interesting collaborations I'll be working on and/or organizing in the future, please drop me a note on my talk page, and I'll be happy to keep you in the know.
I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,

You don't have to put the PROD thing on my talk page, I didn't even create the page. I simply moved "Bill gates day" to "Bill Gates Day". It's okay, I won't remove it. But I don't think that's correct. Thank you. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 07:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Awarded to Gimme danger for friendliness to newcomers and general kindness and good humour - often in difficult circumstances - by Dakinijones ( talk) 21:22, 27 June 2008 (UTC) |
Thank you for volunteering.
There is a task I urgently need help with.
One of the awards we are working on for the Around the World event requires a globe stand. We had one, but it was copyrighted and so we had to ditch it. We've got the globe to insert into a stand, and we have a passport to lay on the surface beneath the stand (beneath the globe the stand will be supporting).
But we don't have a stand!
We need public domain pictures of globes in globe stands. The fancier the better.
I need you to go out onto the internet and find some. The more pictures the better. From all the ones found, we'll choose the best one.
Finding these pictures is priority one.
Without an impressive globe stand, I'll have to postpone the start date for the collaboration.
Help!
