Still kinda trying to get the hang of things. As you probably guessed from reading the article I wrote, Michael went to my college and we're all pretty psyched about having him in the NFL. I think I remained objective, though. I'm not sure what the four tildes deal is, but I'm gonna try it here. Tromboneguy0186 09:11, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you were active on a bunch sports pages. My friends and I started a sports wiki that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news and opinion articles. The site is [deleted]. We're not "officially" launching until March 6th, but you can feel free to poke around and add content. Let me know if you have any questions.-- Awrigh01 15:58, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Just wondering what happened to the cover for Fallen Angel and also what does '(bypassed Uriah Heep disambiguation page)' mean?-- duckpatch
Hi Meegs. I wrote "Brief interventions' from material on my website, to which I hold copyright. Therefore, there is no copyright violation in "Brief interventions." David Justin
Hi Meegs-
I've requested permissin from Dr. Kilmer and have also sent him a copy of the Discussion Page so he can understand the reason for my request. I'm Professor Emeritus at SUNY Potsdam; Dr. Kilmer is at the University of Washington and Evergreen State College. I met him professionally at alcohol research conferences and asked to interview him on my website Alcohol: Problems and Solutiions because he is one of the leading researchers and experts on the subject of brief interventions. David Justin 22:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs-
No need to apologize. I've had some incredible difficulty with people who repost material (including typos!) from my website and then deny that they have done so. David Justin 05:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs - hey....its a spirited discussion. I enjoyed answering your very-valid questions. You can't make policy without working together. Thank you for your input. Listen, if you do feel its a good idea, can you please say so on the talkpage, or else I'll never gather the consensus for this to work. The topic's open as long as its open, so please feel free to help out anytime. Rama's Arrow 21:03, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs. Thanks for your response about my query about notability.I think you are right-there can be no objective parematers about notability but I think there is a general consensus about certain achievemnets which would make a person natable-Nobel Awards,Pulitzer Awrds and according to your own Wkipedia Fellowship of American Academy of Arts and Sciences.I was concerned about this particaular instance as there were two problems-there apparently was ome concern as this person's namesake had some very unpleasant antecedants.This lead to two votes for deletion.When it was established that this person was different there was another vote for deletion claiming that he was not notable enough although his Fellowship of the American Academy was verified.There was only one vote for retention and those who had voted for deletion resulting from an unfortunate coincidence of similarity of names did not get a chance to retract.I am not requesting restoration but this is a problem that I think needs to be addressed-those voting should not be in a hurry to vote as there may be namesakes and some achivements do not invite any dispute over notability.Anil Kumar 24th Feb.2006
Hi Meegs.Thanks for your most helpful comments.I am new to Wiki and found them most encouraging.I shall certainly create an account today. Indeed the article had a rough time.The worst part of it was that it concerned one of my teachers who was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences after writing a stellar book on Neuroses.I tried to impress upon the person who had initiated vote for deletion of the merits only to be called a self-seeking vanitarian!!.By the time I became aware of the problems,two votes had already been cast as the name resembled another person with not so savoury antecedants.Another person got into action and cleared it up establishing that there were two people with the same name but then the person who had called for deletion declared that he did not think the person was notable.I am easy and am not asking for restoration as I may be accused of being a vanitarian again just by the fortunate coincidence of being this person's student and would like it to leave it to others if they feel any merit.Thanks once again for the encouraging words. Anil Kumar 25th Feb.2006
Thanks once again for your encouraging words.As you can see I have registered as vr.Just to sus out,I had included my suggestions in the Crietri a for notability of academics.To my surprise,I received a response which supported my view.In fact on browsing,I found that Fellowship of the American academy of Arts and Sciences is one of the mosr prestigious honors in the world.I am hopeful that someone other than myself would take the issue up. Thanks once again for your encouragement. vr 28th Feb.2006
hi meegs. ive just readded the note whioch you took out about stubs on Wikipedia:Articles for creation. the reason that is there is explained at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation#stubbing. its annoying having to remove stub templates from so many not-yet-articles at Wikipedia:Articles for creation every day - since putting in the 'please dont' note the number had drooped away no nearly zero. now theyre reappearing again. please leave that message there! BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 06:57, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, was just wondering if I put the AfD up what people's thoughts would be on the deletion of the article. Tom Hawkins, if you look at the history, used to be an entirely differnet article, on an Australian rules football player who is yet to be drafted into the Australian Football League. It was deleted and redirected into something entirely different. If that article is deleted, than surely there can't be double standards and Rudy Gay will have to be deleted, if you understand what I'm saying. R o gerthat Talk 11:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Restoring the Tom Hawkins article is just WP:SNOW. Look at a similar recent case: Adrian Khoo was a student in Australia who won a big award at secondary school, but hadn't achieved anything. I state my view cleary in this comment about the issue of Tom Hawkins, and Rogerthat has forgotten my contributions to Australian football articles in the past - see my contribs, and what he has said to me in the past [1] [2]. An AfD has now been opened; that should provide a definitive end. Thanks for your help. Harr o 5 11:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Meegs. Thanks for the helpful guidance as well as the improvements you've made to "Brief Intervention Techniques" David Justin 02:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm wondering if you might be interested if I could nominate you for adminship, you do great work around here especially with the football players articles, participate in AFD, work on categories etc and adminship status can help out and you do have plenty of edits for it. Reply in my Talk page, Thanks -- Jaranda wat's sup 03:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Though it is kind of silly I can't even create my own user page. :) 68.84.34.154 13:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the reminder; I don't frequent the article requests and couldn't find the instructions I'd looked at last time I created one for someone -- do you happen to know where those are at? I googled the text quite extensively and checked the sources -- it appears quite a bit better than the previous one and the editor has been in contact with the OTRS helpdesk a few times, so hopefully understands our copyright requirements a bit better. I'll keep an eye on it though. .:. Jareth.:. babelfish 16:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't quite understand why the Sports Illustrated magazines that I have uploaded are not allowed but the John Brodie cover is (I'm guessing) allowed since it was uploaded in January and nothing has been done to it. Also the Walter Payton cover too, which you uploaded. -- Phbasketball6 23:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi. On The Rules, I changed the book reference you put there. Articles should not link directly to Amazon entries. Instead, give the bibliographic details of the book, and end the entry with the characters "ISBN", a space, and then the ISBN number (which is shown in the Amazon entry). Example: ISBN 0446518131. The Wiki software automagically turns this into a special link, which takes you to a page where you can find libraries and booksellers (including Amazon) that carry that book. This way, we don't end up "endorsing" Amazon over other retailers, and everybody can find the most convenient source of the book for their own country.-- Srleffler 01:59, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
There's no question that those images are copyrighted and not subject to fair use. Images are tagged inappropriately all the time around here. Sports card images should be removed on sight. | Klaw ¡digame! 03:22, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
If you wonder why I inserted a sort of legalese paragraph after your reply to the Argentine anon user IP 200.*.*.*, who wants to create new articles, it's a long story consequence of months of particular behavior. His long silicon trail is better discussed by private email you can send me from my talk page. Jclerman 16:39, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I looked at Kyle Boller and saw the same. SushiGeek 02:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 03:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

It would be fantastic if you could write down your favorite techniques as tips and submit them as tips of the day. Come check us out. -- Go for it! 08:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Well done. Don't know if you like to consider what to do about Thomas-Trevorrow? It's had a short tangled history and I'd speedy it myself except that looks futile. Much too complex for me - I don't understand the sort of antics you humans get up to! Dlyons493 Talk 20:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi:
I noticed you were active on many baseball pages on Wikipedia. My friends and I are starting a sports wiki that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news and opinion articles, as well as regular encyclopedic entries. It also has a database where you can display statistics for any baseball player since 1871. If you’re interested in it, check it out at [deleted]. Here's the MLB page: [deleted]. And here's the link to learn about the stats section: [deleted]
Thanks -- Roblefko 02:27, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Congrats on your adminship Meegs. I'm currently sending you (and in fact all recently promoted admins) a quick request to use your new admin powers to assist in an important area: deleting images that have been tagged as having no source information after 7 days. The category is at Category:Images with unknown source. Most of the images have been removed from articles, but some may have been skipped. It would be fantastic if you could assist in this matter! - Ta bu shi da yu 14:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
...you deserved one too. So here's a Running Man's Barnstar for you, for working with me and others on many, many sports categories. Soon the world will be put in tiny little boxes of our making.-- Mike Selinker 08:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
hello there, you can call me Allan in the future if you remember, it rather weirds me out to be called by my user name since it's sort of contrived, but that's neither here nor there. Since it's been decided that those images are copyright violations and not proper fair use claims, I'm gonna go ahead and delete them. You're right, doesn't seem to be any sense in tagging and waiting 7 days when they've been removed from the articles already. I will commence with the deletion now. let me know if anyone that you know of suddenly decides to object or if there is a big problem with deleting them. see you around, Alhutch 05:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the note about civility regarding my comments: I meant what I said in the comment. And no, it had nothing to do with me personally; it was just yet another (of hundreds? thousands?) of anonymous IP users who, if you bother to look through their history, do nothing for the most part but fuck up pages here. So I stand by my comment that they're shitheads. Not only that; most of you (meaning busybodies like yourself who supposedly try to minimize stuff like this ) are pussies. I see almost no action taken against such gross violators as these. Why not just shut them the hell down?
I think it's comical how you'll see a page full of nice, polite boilerplate messages: "Thanks for your efforts at editing." "Your experiment worked." "Please use the sandbox." Do you actually think these have any good effect? If the person ever even reads these (which in most cases is doubtful, which makes this whole discussion rather inane and pointless), they probably crack up when they do. That's what vandals do.
But thanks for sharing that with me. -- ILike2BeAnonymous 19:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, You're right of course. I prodded then noticed that tags had already been removed so moved to AfD - but I should have de-prodded. Dlyons493 Talk 21:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey Meegs. I have been tagging images for speedy deletion when they have reached their no-source/lisence 7-day mark for several weeks now. I did not know there was a backlog over at CAT:CSD, however I'm sure that you can find others to help you on IRC (as I have done in the past). :-) I just checked out the CAT:CSD page and I saw that there were in fact almost 50 articles and about 10 images (which I didn't tag). Rest assured, it is not as large a task as you think! Several admins have thanked me in the past for tagging these images for them so as to keep them aware of CAT:NS. If you have any questions, please feel free to reply here. -- Zsinj Talk 16:39, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
whatever you tried to do - please retry without deleting a load of comments. I have just reverted that edit Agathoclea 21:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA recently closed and it was a success, passing at 84-02-00. I would like to thank you for taking the time to weigh in and on your subsequent support. And I know it's quite cliche, but if you ever need any assistance and/or want another opinion on something, grab a Pepsi and don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page. Thanks again.

After your RfA was succesful (congrats, btw), you commented that you would volunteer some assistance on a future project. If you have a chance, check out the above peer review. Any comments/ideas/criticisms that you may have would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. youngamerican ( talk) 18:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Well done. Don't know if you like to consider what to do about Thomas-Trevorrow? It's had a short tangled history and I'd speedy it myself except that looks futile. Much too complex for me - I don't understand the sort of antics you humans get up to! Dlyons493 Talk 20:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Best wish.-- Jusjih 06:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I was a little tired when I did that, you're right, I'll do it in the future. Silly squidward crashing my bot and making me have to fix the darn thing! -- Tawker 09:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi:
I noticed you were active on many baseball pages on Wikipedia. My friends and I are starting a sports wiki that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news and opinion articles, as well as regular encyclopedic entries. It also has a database where you can display statistics for any baseball player since 1871. If you’re interested in it, check it out at [deleted]. Here's the MLB page: [deleted]. And here's the link to learn about the stats section: [deleted]
Thanks -- Roblefko 02:27, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Congrats on your adminship Meegs. I'm currently sending you (and in fact all recently promoted admins) a quick request to use your new admin powers to assist in an important area: deleting images that have been tagged as having no source information after 7 days. The category is at Category:Images with unknown source. Most of the images have been removed from articles, but some may have been skipped. It would be fantastic if you could assist in this matter! - Ta bu shi da yu 14:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
...you deserved one too. So here's a Running Man's Barnstar for you, for working with me and others on many, many sports categories. Soon the world will be put in tiny little boxes of our making.-- Mike Selinker 08:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
hello there, you can call me Allan in the future if you remember, it rather weirds me out to be called by my user name since it's sort of contrived, but that's neither here nor there. Since it's been decided that those images are copyright violations and not proper fair use claims, I'm gonna go ahead and delete them. You're right, doesn't seem to be any sense in tagging and waiting 7 days when they've been removed from the articles already. I will commence with the deletion now. let me know if anyone that you know of suddenly decides to object or if there is a big problem with deleting them. see you around, Alhutch 05:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the note about civility regarding my comments: I meant what I said in the comment. And no, it had nothing to do with me personally; it was just yet another (of hundreds? thousands?) of anonymous IP users who, if you bother to look through their history, do nothing for the most part but fuck up pages here. So I stand by my comment that they're shitheads. Not only that; most of you (meaning busybodies like yourself who supposedly try to minimize stuff like this ) are pussies. I see almost no action taken against such gross violators as these. Why not just shut them the hell down?
I think it's comical how you'll see a page full of nice, polite boilerplate messages: "Thanks for your efforts at editing." "Your experiment worked." "Please use the sandbox." Do you actually think these have any good effect? If the person ever even reads these (which in most cases is doubtful, which makes this whole discussion rather inane and pointless), they probably crack up when they do. That's what vandals do.
But thanks for sharing that with me. -- ILike2BeAnonymous 19:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, You're right of course. I prodded then noticed that tags had already been removed so moved to AfD - but I should have de-prodded. Dlyons493 Talk 21:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey Meegs. I have been tagging images for speedy deletion when they have reached their no-source/lisence 7-day mark for several weeks now. I did not know there was a backlog over at CAT:CSD, however I'm sure that you can find others to help you on IRC (as I have done in the past). :-) I just checked out the CAT:CSD page and I saw that there were in fact almost 50 articles and about 10 images (which I didn't tag). Rest assured, it is not as large a task as you think! Several admins have thanked me in the past for tagging these images for them so as to keep them aware of CAT:NS. If you have any questions, please feel free to reply here. -- Zsinj Talk 16:39, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
whatever you tried to do - please retry without deleting a load of comments. I have just reverted that edit Agathoclea 21:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA recently closed and it was a success, passing at 84-02-00. I would like to thank you for taking the time to weigh in and on your subsequent support. And I know it's quite cliche, but if you ever need any assistance and/or want another opinion on something, grab a Pepsi and don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page. Thanks again. Pepsidrinka 04:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
A thousand apologies. Didn't really give it much thought to be honest! Michaelritchie200 18:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
After your RfA was succesful (congrats, btw), you commented that you would volunteer some assistance on a future project. If you have a chance, check out the above peer review. Any comments/ideas/criticisms that you may have would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. youngamerican ( talk) 18:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
