Hi, I've added references for all the sections, but couldn't find a specific reference for the hook, other than the fact that it had been selected under the initiative "Land der Ideen" in 2006, the year Germany hosted the World Cup. That's covered by the section reference. -- Bermicourt ( talk) 19:32, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I've added a section on the awards and prizes for the Otter Centre and its Otter Conservation Project with the reference at the end (it applies to all the text apart from the World Cup sentence). Perhaps the hook could be something like: "Did you know that the Hankensbüttel Otter Centre has won many prestigious national and international awards and prizes including First Prize in the "Regions of the Future" competition run by the German Ministry of Transport..." or something similar. -- Bermicourt ( talk) 07:33, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Gatoclass, I hope you are doing well. :) I responded to your comment about my DYK submission under October 16. Cheers, Cirt ( talk) 08:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for OK-ing the DYK for The Heartland Series. I figured it was a new article, for all intents and purposes. FWIW, the "blog" source for the ALT hook was a professional reporter's blog on his newspaper's website -- now that papers have so few print pages, I think we'll be seeing a lot more of that kind of publication. -- Orlady ( talk) 15:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi there Gatoclass. You changed the update cycle to 8 hours but the bot still believes that its on a 6-hour cycle and posted a warning to WP:AN to that effect. Also, the template also warns that the update is overdue. Can you fix this? Regards So Why 09:04, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

HI! Gatoclass
I posted two DYK hooks on 21st October 2009, namely St. Paul’s Church, Diu and Diu Fort. But both are missing from the discussion page. I don't know the reason for this. I could not also see from the History why they were deleted. Can you throw some light on this?-- Nvvchar ( talk) 13:19, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
You have been whacked with a wet trout by Bencherlite Talk because of your ham-fisted attempt to sabotage DYK from the inside! Hopefully this will make a subtle adjustment to your clue level.
Hello Gatoclass. I put together the queue that is currently on the main page. I attempted to follow the suggestions that 50% of the Queue related to U.S topics. I placed 4 U.S., with 3 outside of the U.S. and one with a Picture that would not pertain to a perticular country. I also tried to select different Bios - political/sports, events - earthquake, subjects -animal, and film. I also attempted to pull as many as possible from the older nominations 10th - 16th. If you could kindly suggest how I can better my contributions I would be appreciative. Thanks in advance. ♠ B.s.n. ♥R.N. 05:20, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Tulsi Vivah was scheduled for 30 Oct, made it in the 1 Nov prep area so I requested it be put in 2 Nov queue as 2 Nov is Kartik Poornima - the last day to perform Tulsi Vivah. Kartik Poornima, Prabodhini Ekadashi DYK were combined and requested for 2 Nov. Please check.-- Redtigerxyz Talk 16:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, regarding your comment earlier regarding the npov template, I was wondering would you have another look at that as the section was trimmed as there is a main article link where all the details are explained, we will never please everyone but, what we have left now has been written by a neutral editor and is designed to be a simple overview of the details, which I would say it is, under these realities could you accept the removal of the npov template? Off2riorob ( talk) 23:52, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Although attempting to keep a POV tag on the Sexual assualt case section is apparently an exercise in futility, I would still like to ask (since you once voted to keep the POV tag) if you feel the current summary is NPOV? (Feel free to ignore—especially since I'm in the dog house at the moment:) Proofreader77 ( talk) 04:56, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
(Buried in Personal life and no link to main coverage now). See: this new talk topic. (Please excuse if you're not interested in that, but since you cared about the Sexual assault section, letting you know.) -- Proofreader77 ( talk) 02:41, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Gatoclass ( talk) 01:21, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Will you complete prep1 and 2? If you will, its great, if not, let me know - I've got 1 hr on-line and someone has to do that. (sure, Australian goes first, Danish second). The third hook-set is Ok, as I'll will be back online by then. Cheers. Materialscientist ( talk) 11:28, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for promoting Young-Chang Cho to DYK in spite of my formal error, for your improved wording and for choosing the educational hook, not the "prize-winning" one. Should I be concerned about an edit of the article done by someone not registered at 19:00, removed 19:01? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:23, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Gatoclass. I addressed your comment. Maybe you'll find time to revisit this for me. Thanks. - SusanLesch ( talk) 16:38, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Greetings Gatoclass. Awaiting your approval. Thanks. - SusanLesch ( talk) 22:17, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Gato. I think that your comments about Jayjg in the Pedrito section are a bit ambiguous. The way the discussion was closed was that there was no finding of any fault, but that Jay should continue to take care in the future. The way you wrote it implied that there was some fault, but only a warning was applied. Those two are different, obviously. May I please trouble you to accurately reflect the findings? The last thing anyone, me, you, Pedrito, Jay, Nableezy, etc. need when it relates to ArbCom issues is unintentional misrepresentations. Thank you very much. -- Avi ( talk) 23:19, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, could you have a look at the moral agency in Judaism nom? I didn't tick it because it incorporates quite some (PD) text from a source outside Wikipedia, but there is also original text and I'm not sure exactly where the standard should be in that regard. Thanks, Ucucha 00:08, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome. There are many non-pork articles for editors who enjoy some sizzle, but object to or don't like messing with pig products. This year's event also includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition. Given the critical importance of this subject matter, I know you will want to participate, so remember to sign up today and get started A.S.A.P. ALL ARE WELCOME!!! The more the merrier.

You reverted my edits on List of battles and other violent events by death toll. Take a look at List of battles by casualties, deleting the unsourced material pays off because the article will be rebuilt with sourced material rather quickly. Wandalstouring ( talk) 12:25, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:The Detroit Wheels.jpg. 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 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects ( talk) 22:35, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
