So, I'm probably not going to be around WT:MLB much in the next few days. I was just really offended by some comments by other users there. I haven't decided whether I'm going to continue working on the MLB awards FT or not. Depending on how I decide to move forward with Wiki now, I might defer being involved in the nomination for not-entirely-unpolitical reasons. Felt you deserved a courtesy note for your recent contributions and support. You wouldn't think that a comment by one user could chase someone else off, but it's possible.

The MLB MVP and Cy Young are the most important regular season awards in MLB, which is why I added those two on the table. This is like a why or why not factor, but in my opinion, having more information is better than having less, though having too much isn't necessary. I think the MLB and Cy Young Awards are in between the more and too much, so ehh... -- [[ SRE.K.A.L.| L.A.K.ERS]] 01:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Greetings to all members of the Military history WikiProject, and to those outside the project who receive this news letter as well! My name is TomStar81, and it with a great sense of pride that I assume the position of lead coordinator for the project. On behalf of all the coordinators, both new and returning, we wish to thank those of you who participated in the September elections, and we look forward to working to advance the goals of the project for the next six months. With the elections concluded, there are two changes. First, Roger Davies has been appointed a coordinator emeritus, joining our first coordinator emeritus Kirill Lokshin. Secondly, for the first time ever, the lead coordinator for the Military history WikiProject will be taking a lengthy wikibreak. For those who were unaware of this, I am an undergraduate student, and will be taking a leave of absence, effective end September, to focus on graduating in December. However, with fourteen coordinators, and two coordinators emeritus, I am confident the needs of the project will be well taken care of. For the VIII coordinator tranche, TomStar81 ( Talk) |

I finally get to looking back at my second attempt at a Rumford Prize FL, and what do I find? It was already promoted!! :O Wow thats cool, that someone knows how to do alt-text.

Hey Stax, it was a pleasure. Hope it passes soon, can't really see anything holding it back now. The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:15, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
I just supported the FLC. Anyways, yeah, User:Jamie jca and I collaborated for a while and got the second season to a good topic, but both of our activity has really minimized lately. I actually haven't seen the third season, and I can't really contribute as much as I used to, but I'd definitely be up to the task if you need any help. Anything you're thinking of working on in the near future? Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 06:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for the revert, I didn't you you reverted your edits. CardinalDan ( talk) 07:24, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Rambo is right, topics have 3 months to include articles from the date of their creation, but many articles (such as this one) can't be GA/FL at time of creation because of stability issues. Hence instead, the article needs to be audited by way of a completed Peer Review by the end of those 3 months, and then it can be included as an audited article until such a time as it is eligible for GA/FL, in this case once the season ends - it then gets 3 months from that date to achieve GA/FL. Notice the difference between criteria 3.a and 3.c, and how the two articles you mentioned, Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 9) and DJ Hero, both have two retentions - one for the PR, and a second for the FL/GA. 30 Rock (season 4) has two as well, and it is the first but not the second it is currently failing on - rst20xx ( talk) 11:30, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey Stax, your monitor may need calibration. Did you save an interim edit in TIFF format before your most recent upload? It looks like you accidentally enabled the "hard edge" setting on the clone tool. The sampling from source and destination areas that differ in brightness causes problems which jump out on a calibrated monitor. The tool size should be 8-10px for that border rather than 50-55px. If you've got an older version of the edit without the problems we could go to that, or even (don't groan) start afresh. Properly done, this is a big job. Might be better to tackle something under 100MB. Best regards, Durova 348 14:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Seems to me that we should probably try to make these consistent. For example, I've always used Major League Baseball over MLB.com when I cite references from their website, but I know that others do the opposite. Perhaps the compromise is to use MLB.com in the "work" field, and Major League Baseball in the "publisher" field? I've seen that on a couple of the citations, I believe, and that seems like a good way to go. Let me know what you think. Glass Cobra 21:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

It might interest you to know that User:DragonLair04 is being very uncivilized and uncooperative in the needless discussion of his changes to the lead of Mariano Rivera. At User talk:Muboshgu#Mariano Rivera, he's basically sworn off listening to you, me, or Muboshgu, and he's threatening to report us to administrators (LOL). This coming from a guy with less than 20 edits! He also posted messages on both our user talk pages asking us to "Please refrain from abusing warning or blocking templates" just because we warned him to stop disrupting the quality of a FAC article. Not sure what to do here, but it might be worth opening a discussion on WP:ANI if he keeps this up. Y2kcrazyjoker4 ( talk) 05:33, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Take a second look at this FP nomination, the quality is due to the rules of the Mosque, cameras are forbidden so any images inside are mostly cell phone images or cheap cameras people are not afraid to have confiscated.

Hey again. I've been thinking about how we have summaries of each episode at both the "list of episodes" page, and at each respective "season article". This creates the problem that when one summary is edited, the other remains the same, and thus we may have two totally different summaries for many episodes. I'm thinking that we should just delete all summaries from the "list of episodes" page, like I did here, and leave the summaries for each episode at the season page. I think it would make things much easier to manage. Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 15:40, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.
It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems.

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).

No problem. I only checked because I almost did the same thing. I've been on B-Ref all day trying to work on Mets-Phillies rivalry, so it was a quick hop skip and jump over to check. KV5 ( Talk • Phils) 17:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Stax, nice to see you around on the Wiki again. Like you, my pace of contributions has slowed since starting college, but I still love to tack on snippets of info that I find about politicians and the like. Harro5 01:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I finally get to looking back at my second attempt at a Rumford Prize FL, and what do I find? It was already promoted!! :O Wow thats cool, that someone knows how to do alt-text. I'd talked to Eud but he had yet to respond. To my great suprise I come to the FLC and see not "Not promoted" but "promoted."
I guess I'm writing to you to convey my bewilderment ;D. But hey, the community saved an FLC for me when I was inactive...wow thats cool :O Res Mar 23:18, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Stax, it was a pleasure. Hope it passes soon, can't really see anything holding it back now. The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:15, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
I just supported the FLC. Anyways, yeah, User:Jamie jca and I collaborated for a while and got the second season to a good topic, but both of our activity has really minimized lately. I actually haven't seen the third season, and I can't really contribute as much as I used to, but I'd definitely be up to the task if you need any help. Anything you're thinking of working on in the near future? Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 06:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for the revert, I didn't you you reverted your edits. CardinalDan ( talk) 07:24, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Rambo is right, topics have 3 months to include articles from the date of their creation, but many articles (such as this one) can't be GA/FL at time of creation because of stability issues. Hence instead, the article needs to be audited by way of a completed Peer Review by the end of those 3 months, and then it can be included as an audited article until such a time as it is eligible for GA/FL, in this case once the season ends - it then gets 3 months from that date to achieve GA/FL. Notice the difference between criteria 3.a and 3.c, and how the two articles you mentioned, Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 9) and DJ Hero, both have two retentions - one for the PR, and a second for the FL/GA. 30 Rock (season 4) has two as well, and it is the first but not the second it is currently failing on - rst20xx ( talk) 11:30, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey Stax, your monitor may need calibration. Did you save an interim edit in TIFF format before your most recent upload? It looks like you accidentally enabled the "hard edge" setting on the clone tool. The sampling from source and destination areas that differ in brightness causes problems which jump out on a calibrated monitor. The tool size should be 8-10px for that border rather than 50-55px. If you've got an older version of the edit without the problems we could go to that, or even (don't groan) start afresh. Properly done, this is a big job. Might be better to tackle something under 100MB. Best regards, Durova 348 14:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

It should be noted that this award has little prestige associated with it. Furthermore, the award does a poor job at selecting winners. Showing that the best hitter rarely wins the award ought to be in the article.

Seems to me that we should probably try to make these consistent. For example, I've always used Major League Baseball over MLB.com when I cite references from their website, but I know that others do the opposite. Perhaps the compromise is to use MLB.com in the "work" field, and Major League Baseball in the "publisher" field? I've seen that on a couple of the citations, I believe, and that seems like a good way to go. Let me know what you think. Glass Cobra 21:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

It might interest you to know that User:DragonLair04 is being very uncivilized and uncooperative in the needless discussion of his changes to the lead of Mariano Rivera. At User talk:Muboshgu#Mariano Rivera, he's basically sworn off listening to you, me, or Muboshgu, and he's threatening to report us to administrators (LOL). This coming from a guy with less than 20 edits! He also posted messages on both our user talk pages asking us to "Please refrain from abusing warning or blocking templates" just because we warned him to stop disrupting the quality of a FAC article. Not sure what to do here, but it might be worth opening a discussion on WP:ANI if he keeps this up. Y2kcrazyjoker4 ( talk) 05:33, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Take a second look at this FP nomination, the quality is due to the rules of the Mosque, cameras are forbidden so any images inside are mostly cell phone images or cheap cameras people are not afraid to have confiscated. Technical quality issues should be ignored in such situations where the best we can get is going to be poor quality images do to restrictions. — raeky ( talk | edits) 00:22, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey again. I've been thinking about how we have summaries of each episode at both the "list of episodes" page, and at each respective "season article". This creates the problem that when one summary is edited, the other remains the same, and thus we may have two totally different summaries for many episodes. I'm thinking that we should just delete all summaries from the "list of episodes" page, like I did here, and leave the summaries for each episode at the season page. I think it would make things much easier to manage. Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 15:40, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey Stax. As much as I still dread the process as a whole, I think it might be RFA time. After all, if one man calls you crazy, ignore him. If a second man calls you crazy, start to wonder. If a third man calls you crazy, buy a straitjacket and a drool-bucket... I'll let Secret know that I've reconsidered as well. KV5 ( Talk • Phils) 17:21, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
As I know you been gone for awhile (an old welcome back btw), just letting you know an RFA can't be processed without the candidate answering the questions first. I know it was a bit different when we got promoted to adminship back in 2006, but now editors are extremely worried about the answers towards questions. Thanks Secret account 18:37, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey Staxringold. Although I'm quite new, and I only have rollback rights of any priveleges (that isn't spelled right), are there any tips on how I might be nominated for adminship?

To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.
It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

Thanks for uploading File:Being digital negroponte.gif. 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. Skier Dude ( talk) 07:14, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
