Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Someone must have been lazy, as you have not been welcomed yet. Thank you for your contributions. Since you have been here for a while, we can pretty much assume you are not a troll, vandal, or clueless newbie. I hope you continue to like the place and don't get all grumpy and leave over nothing. Here are a few good links for newcomers, even though you aren't one:
I hope you still enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian, and won't get mad over something stupid and leave! By the way, please be sure to continue to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome, and sorry for your not being welcomed in the past!

I noticed you have listed yourself in Category:Atheist Wikipedians. That said, you will probably be interested in my suggested featured article for December 25th: Omnipotence paradox. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-11-28 08:26
I had never heard of "Seabags" before, either, but I've seen several references to it in Google. However, I don't get the impression that it's complimentary. Wahkeenah 00:27, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
I re-wrote Dry Bones but you voted it on Afd as if it were still what it was before I re-wrote it. What do you think about the new version?? (See the link above for what it is.) Georgia guy 23:09, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
As for proposed edit: That'll work. :) — Dale Arnett 04:23, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Meegs,
I wrote the additional section to Michael Kiske's article. I do know that I was quite a little bit excessive and subjective but I was only trying to better the article. I think we both agree that Michael Kiske does have an amazing voice, he does have classical singing lessons, otherwise he wouldn't have such a voice. I am a singer myself and I can effectively classify quality of voices and I can affirm that Kiske's is among rock's finest. I would really appreciate if we could work together to better the article by including some of Mr. Kiske's skills and therefore transform the article into something more than a stub.
Sincerely

Thanks for the comments on the Fearsome Foursome page. I noticed the same things. I think the term itself is probably in need of some disambiguation. The Lions team was the one that I think most people consider the most prominent football version, but Chargers fans take umbrage with that. If someone wants to make a Fearsome Foursome comics page, that would be great and I can check out the disambiguation. Thanks again for the comments, very helpful. Bill shannon 22:30, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
No, you're right, I'm probably going to stop soon. I figure I've got some big schools left in the South (Ole Miss, for example), but not much after that. I thought about combining Conference USA, but that conference is a total mess. So maybe Brett Favre and Jerry Rice and Steve McNair and Daunte Culpepper don't get in the category. I think the rule needs to be, a school's accomplishments must be greater than one player to get its own category. But I'm fully aware that that kind of rule doesn't hold water for long on this site, so I'm guessing Jackson State and Southern Miss and Alcorn State and Central Florida will eventually make the cut. Maybe we preempt it with a crazy category like "Football players from small southern colleges". Or not.-- Mike Selinker 01:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Your category name is missing its "s" at the end of "player". Just thought you'd like to know.-- Mike Selinker 02:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
As long as it's a list and not a category (which would pollute the articles) and as long as it's not an official article (maybe in the user or project space), then yeah, go ahead and start one up and copy my list. Most of the schools there will never get a category our current criteria though, so the effort might be wasted. If you want an idea of how many nfl players a given school is pumping out, look here. And while you're there, check out the massive Hawaii list. × Meegs 03:04, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
As far as I know, there are 117 I-A schools right now. We're already half way there, why don't we make categories for the players of all of them (and forget making one for the football program for now). Then maybe, we could make a single category for each of the lower divisions. × Meegs 03:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
thank you for finishing up the infobox on Kyle Brady. i didn't quite understand how it worked, but you made it look good. thank you.-- BBLove 10:49, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
You're right, and I'll leave in those fields in the future. (I'm still getting my bearings on how these optional fields work, and I'm still impressed by that trick of yours.) While I'm here, I've been thinking -- maybe two more fields? One to link to the NFL.com player page for active players (make it optional, like the existing stats field is optional), and another to give the overall draft order (that seems to be the only other field that other boxes have that this one doesn't.) Also, maybe a tiny next to "Team(s)", just for a splash of color? -- Arcadian 23:26, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Alright, yeah, that link looks pretty reliable. I was just going based on the allmusic guide, which is sometimes kinda stupid. Also, thanks for that link, i'll probably need it if i ever get around to fixing up the venom page. -- Eel 21:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, on the basis of the AFL/AFL conflict alone, I think the Arena Football League should be forcibly disbanded. But that's not the feedback you're looking for. Not even the Washington Nationals give us any guidance, as Walter Johnson is just under the Senators. You could spell it out as "Dallas Texans players in the American Football League," but really, we're looking at a small group of players here. I think the best solution is the years. By the way, you might hit this problem with the Baltimore Colts as well. See Baltimore Colts (1947-1950). That team was in the NFL.-- Mike Selinker 17:55, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Meegs, Googie Man here - I wanted to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan and Wikipedian. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done such great work on Wikipedia I was hoping you could help me get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! Googie Man( Talk), 20:38, 3 January 2006.
I recently found another useful database. Here's an example of a link: http://www.databasefootball.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=BANKSCHI01. It seems to be much better than ProFootballReference for providing statistics for defensive players. How would you feel if we added another line to the template to accomodate it (optional, of course, so the row would disappear if the row was omitted)? -- Arcadian 21:49, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I created this article (Indian Mound Park) this morning. Just a couple of lines. Because some references pointed to no where. I do not know a lot about it. I picked up a few lines on the web. I am just curious to know how you could find so fast there was a new article needing clean up ? ... just curious .. :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by OC ( talk • contribs) 12:59, 2006 January 9 (UTC)

Thank you for the honor of being the one to kill off that category, I appreciate it. So what other categorization work needs to be done? I'll try to do what I can, but since law school's started up again I don't have as much Wikitime as I used to (though I wish I did). Anthony 15:14, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I', must have missed something here - how is the progressive rock album category redundant. If you are recategorising everything under the groups albums then that implies all the albums by the group are Progressive, it also may implies that no albums by any one else may be categorised this way. As I say I might have missed something I don't understand that you are doing. PLease get back to me :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 17:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations for your excelent work in wikipedia. Prof. Carlos Nemer is very popular around here (Rio de Janeiro--Brazil), sometimes he can be a little hard but some other times he is loved by everybody. Recently he lectured at Princeton University.

It´s not a matter of him being offended (I don´t know if he (prof.Carlos Nemer) knows he has a wikipedia article). The question is the person exists, he is a notable in his country in his way (some references for prof. Carlos Nemer´s work (more will come with time) can be found in this address: http://www.eng.uerj.br/deptos/profs.php?id=dein) the question is: is Wikipedia really Universal ? Can you acept notable people that "are not in the Enciclopedia Britanica" ? How large is your original project and how degraded it is by now ? Why do you need so many details from a professor that works only for non profitable organizations (federal and state universities in Brazil are totaly free) with bad and not up-dated computer-servers ?

Hi there! I just wanted to point out that you forgot to leave a signature after your comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islam in South Africa and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of state-named Avenues in Washington, D.C.. I'm sure you know that lack of a signature can lead to your argument being discounted by the closing admin, and just wanted to drop a note in case you wanted to go back and fix that. - Rebelguys2 03:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for your kind comment on this article's Afd. Dlyons493 Talk 19:38, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Here's the thing about colleges, that isn't the same for the NFL: Quite often, there's only one coach who has an article. So we'll be creating a lot of categories with only one member. But sure, we could do that. We'd be emptying Category:College football coaches of individuals, then?-- Mike Selinker 19:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
And there are others too. It bothers me, removing someone that coached at Vermont and Michigan and ND from the general coaches category just because they're in the ND-specific coaches category, but I could go along with it in practice if we have 170 potential school categories. If we do that, there will probably only be about 5 or 10 or 20 coaches that still need to be in Category:College football coaches — and I wouldn't mind leaving them there. They might attract a few others periodically, but that's not too bad. So, in examples, the proposal is
And none of the "big 170" football categories, nor NFL team categories, should have any coaches in them (unless they also held some other important post). × Meegs 21:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
I hate that category. But it's there, and I'm not going to argue that it should go away. I do think that the special teams category is nonsense, but I can't argue that there are some people whose job it is to return punts.-- Mike Selinker 06:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's the thing about colleges, that isn't the same for the NFL: Quite often, there's only one coach who has an article. So we'll be creating a lot of categories with only one member. But sure, we could do that. We'd be emptying Category:College football coaches of individuals, then?-- Mike Selinker 19:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
And there are others too. It bothers me, removing someone that coached at Vermont and Michigan and ND from the general coaches category just because they're in the ND-specific coaches category, but I could go along with it in practice if we have 170 potential school categories. If we do that, there will probably only be about 5 or 10 or 20 coaches that still need to be in Category:College football coaches — and I wouldn't mind leaving them there. They might attract a few others periodically, but that's not too bad. So, in examples, the proposal is
And none of the "big 170" football categories, nor NFL team categories, should have any coaches in them (unless they also held some other important post). × Meegs 21:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
I hate that category. But it's there, and I'm not going to argue that it should go away. I do think that the special teams category is nonsense, but I can't argue that there are some people whose job it is to return punts.-- Mike Selinker 06:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
