Damn! :P I can't say I listen to much Mozart... My mom's a Bach fan though, I hear plenty of his stuff. Yea, well, hopefully they respond. Oftentimes there are some brilliant photos on flickr, but we can't use them because of the licensing. Sucks. Nah, don't worry about it, I'm having a lazy week. Well, a sick week - I've got a stomach virus, but it counts as being lazy since I'm in bed typing this! :P Oooh, money - yes please! ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 00:31, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Put Nick Nemeth on your watchlist and you'll catch up easily. I swear I'm the only person watching that page. :( Hey, I never promised nothing! I guaranteed. Difference. Probably ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 18:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Ooh, Fight Club, that was brilliant. It's been ages since I've seen that. Cool, cool. Yea, consensus was formed - there were "two" people arguing against it, but eh, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jeangabin/Archive. Yes it probably should be removed, although I could swear I read something in HBK's book about him using the spike piledriver? I don't have my copy unfortunately, a friend borrowed it so I can't check. Maybe I'm just imagining things.... ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 18:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Well, I like Miz, but the next HBK? Nah, no way. There's only one HBK. :) I actually Raw was going to win because I didn't figure Vince would let his baby lose. Raw is Vince's show. No, I was going to be sad that Cena would be ruining SmackDown on me. :) By the way, wasn't Boretista's heel turn seriously predictable? As soon as he moved to SmackDown, I was like "He'll be heel in a few months now". ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 15:35, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Oh, yeah remove it. Sure, sure. I noticed you removing the "Cite epsiode" I'll keep an eye out. Well, it's sources and searching for info fopr his career betwenn 1997 and 2001. I can't find anything. Any halp would be appreciated. Hmmm, I'm about to log off to go to dinner, but I'll try and get on later. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 17:42, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Wait, professors are telling you to take exams seriously? Wow, who've thunk it? :P Well, I don't mind too much, and to be honest, I feel like it's your turn to pick what we work on. Legacy was me, Spirit Squad is me, so it's time we did one of your choices. :) Fair is fair. Just as long as Cena's not involved I won't protest too much! ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 05:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
^^I like this template - I just found it. It's seriously useful. :) Maybe, I don't remember that conversation at all. I thought about looking in your archives for it, and then realised that it would take an eternity or two, so... Yea, isn't having reliable sources a criterion? I was pretty strict on it in my reviews. Yea, I didn't think so. All respect to Kendrick, but he's no HBK. :) I was suprised he was pushed at all after London's release, and once he was moved to Raw I knew it was the end of the line. WWE screw up a lot! Here's hoping they don't screw up with Bryan Danielson. You're totally welcome. Don't worry, I know, and I fully expect you defend me if some patronising ass starts posting comments about me! :P ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 11:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Yea, it's about time he dropped the Jamaican gimmick - it got really stale and boring imo. Wow. There's also an article on it --> France vs Republic of Ireland (2010 FIFA World Cup Play-Off), but it's up for deletion. I've played rugby before - full-contact rugby hurts like hell - especially when you're playing with guys well over 6 ft and built like tanks. :( Yea, don't let him wind you up. That's what he wants. He's just a troll - once he refused to answer my question at Talk:Randy Orton#HHH vs ORton, and instead told me to stop "attacking" people I decided to ignore him. It's your best bet as well, or else you'll lose your temper with him. The thing to do is laugh at the guy, who clearly must be very sheltered if he thinks being told that he's not civil is a personal attack. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 09:09, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes!!! The article finally passed its GA! Now we are more closer to the GT than before. Only Confessions Tour and The Confessions Tour (album) are left. Will you help me with the former? --Legolas (talk2me) 06:45, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello ThinkBlue! You seem to be quite the editor, being on for more than 2 years and haveing over 35,000 edits. (thats over 17X as many that I have) So I was wondering, have you ever thought about being an admin? You would surely pass with your good history. You should think about it. Unless your one of those people who dont what to be an admin. If you are, then thats OK, I understand.-- Coldplay Expert 20:34, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi ThinkBlue, I'm very happy to see that you have passed this article for GA. Thank you so much for the review. I also went ahead and added an accessdate for the Reference like you suggested. Thanks again for your help! Gongshow ⊕ 01:35, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Well not actually done, but the writting is done. I'm left to source about a section and a half of his TNA career then I'm done. Okay, well I guess when I get finished, I'll copyedit it then, you'll check over the stuff I did, and we'll be done with him. I'll copyedit Edge real quick and we'll nominate them both at GAN. I guess you on Edge and me on Cage?-- Will C 15:05, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I am done with sourcing completely. I'll give you a chance to change anything you wrote before I do the copyedit. Only thing left after that is adding the pictures. How about you add pictures to the sections you wrote, while I'll add pictures to the ones I wrote? I feel the infobox image should be the one used now or the one where he holds the ECW Title; what do you think? Here is a link. After I do the copyedits and we get them up on GAN, you want to start on the tag article?-- Will C 07:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
I'll pray you find someone. You are a great person, if I lived near you I'm sure I would ask you out. I search for personality, and you got a great one. Work, school, girl, etc. Okay, do what you want and feel like. I'm working on a PPV so I'll be here when you get done.-- Will C 20:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, ya see why it took me so long, and I'm a perfectionists. Yeah, I'll nominate it after you nominate Edge. No, don't worry about it. I say what I mean, and I mean this. You are a great person, and the person you end up with, will be the luckiest son of a bitch that ever lived. P.S. Cage is nominated.-- Will C 06:40, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah that sounds fine. I can pull out the main article quickly. We can do this after E&C, Rated RKO, and AJ and Tomko, maybe even after The Brood. Only three articles left to getting it to topic status. My only ideas were working on every 2002 event, making a main article like I've worked on in a subpage regarding 2008 TNA events. Another was all the WrestleMania events to GA or FA.-- Will C 18:23, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah I hope. I also hope I get better soon. Woke up with a cold. I've worked on E&C a little, what do you think?-- Will C 19:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah they signed him the other day. I'm 50/50 on the situation. Don't want him to bury people, but he brings publicity. As long as he only fights and defeats old WWE and WCW guys, I'm cool. But loses to AJ, Joe, Daniels, etc I'm cool.-- Will C 02:26, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Maybe, he has a book out and a promotion to run now (Hulkamania). I rather he not get in the ring. Just be an on-screen character or manager. I'm afraid he will bury some of TNA's talent, like AJ. No I'm somewhat better. Just got a small runny nose which is usual for me, since I got allergies. I've been better since Sunday technically, when it dried up. No, it is our project. I'll let you choose on which format, since that was the half you worked on. I want to keep it fair. People think I'm trying to own stuff and run stuff my way already. Which is not the case. So to show this, and make sure you don't start to think like others do, I'll let you choose since you worked on the lead down to his departure from WWE, and I worked on the rest.-- Will C 20:01, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Would like to be, don't know how to get the job though. Yeah, been fine since last Sunday. Yeah, my dad thought I had it, but I was fine in three days, till I got a head cold. Yeah, same with me. You expanded HBK's article, you should know him and the article better than anyone else. Just trying to keep it accurate and up to date. No problem.-- Will C 22:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, praise is always fun, but if I was writing, all I would want is to know they are enjoying the product. Yeah, we need the guidelines, but I'm saying not to take them too literal. Sometimes it is better to say fuck it. Like with spoiler situations. I say fuck it now adays. What is the problem with waiting afew days? I say just add it now, and get it over with.-- Will C 11:03, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah I don't care. My focus hasn't been on those topics anyway. Just waiting on a review will take 2 months. Really no need to rush. At the moment I'll help out anyway I can to get closer to the topic goals with my good friend ThinkBlue :), even though my focus is on finishing numerous PPVs: User:Wrestlinglover/Destination X (2005), User:Wrestlinglover/Genesis (2007), User:Wrestlinglover/Turning Point (2007), User:Wrestlinglover/Final Resolution (2008), User:Wrestlinglover/Against All Odds (2008), User:Wrestlinglover/Destination X (2008), User:Wrestlinglover/Victory Road (2008), User:Wrestlinglover/Bound for Glory IV, User:Wrestlinglover/Final Resolution (December 2008), and User:Wrestlinglover/Genesis (2009). Check this out, it is a great song.-- Will C 21:00, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

While I was browsing through the peer review backlog, I noticed that Madonna (entertainer) was requested for peer review on Oct 12. Since you were listed as an active participant on WP:MADONNA, I thought you might be interested in peer reviewing the article. Only one person has reviewed it so far.

Hello! I was wondering. Do you think that the article Viva la Vida or Death and all His Friends can be considered a good article? Its already B-class and I see no imediate problems with it.-- Coldplay Expért Let's talk 13:20, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
So where do we go from here? We seem to have hit a wall. We got Cage and Edge at GAN. Now we only have to get Gangrel, Rated RKO, and E&C done (maybe even The Brood).-- Will C 00:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
I just don't see that thing in males. Probably alot of guys are like that, must be the reason some get so nervous talking to women because they don't see it in themseleves. Happy late Thanksgiving to you too, and an early Merry Christmas! It was decent. Hey, don't worry about it. Take your time. I'll be reviewing a few articles ( The Fame Ball Tour and LoveGame) along with working on a few in my subpages ( Destination X (2005), Genesis (2007), Turning Point (2007), Final Resolution (January 2008), Against All Odds (2008), and Destination X (2008)), so take your time. You sit back and take a rest girl, you deserve it.-- Will C 01:39, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
No problem. Trust me, you do more than I.-- Will C 17:36, 30 November 2009 (UTC) Perhaps, so what other projects would you like to do after we are done here? I'm making a list of topics that are doable.-- Will C 18:07, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Alright, will be by the end of today. Okay, take your time.-- Will C 22:12, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I was a little miffed about this article today. After the editor added the content to the article, I spent about an hour hunting down sources to actually verify what was in it, formatted the citations and cleaned it up. I removed the content about him putting up a website, since the website didn't particularly say that, and removed the rather extraneous content about Twitter. When I finished, this is what the paragraph looked like, cites showing:
The editor posted a snarky comment on my talk page, including asking me why I didn't add it before, and a nicer version on the article talk page, chastizing me for "simply revert"ing his edit. When I came in and saw that, I posted a response to him in both places and then saw that you had made some changes. So, miffed is slightly passed. Please look at the sources I added and consider them. Also, in passing, the article says he did script work on Frida and The Score but the lead now says he wrote Frida and The Incredible Hulk. Thanks. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 21:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey Thinkblue I had a question about something WWE related and thought you would be the one to ask. Is there any way we could create seperate articles for more WWE DVDS and books, EX: Tombstone: History of the Undertaker. I mean I can see where people would think theyre not notable, but I think they are because they are tchnically movies, and movies have articles here on Wikipedia too. I'm not going to create anything btw, unless you say so, but I just want your opinion on this. Thanks. Tech43 ( talk) 23:21, 3 December 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 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!

...oh, wait. :P The old one was pretty long, huh? Exactly. I'm very pleased now. :) I'll readily admit to being a massive Davey Richards mark. He's amazing. Seriously. Yea, it really bugs me. :( Actually, I'll tell ya what image I found yesterday when I was searching Flickr: this 'un. It's amazing! :P Bryan Danielson really looked like a lunatic in 04. :P I haven't decided whether or not to ask for the uploader to release it, but I'm really tempted to. It'd be a pretty awesome addition to his article, doncha think? ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 21:34, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
<--Well, since you pimped HBK's DVD, I'll just give you this link and let you decide whether or not you want to spend $15. :) Hmmm, I would like to see Edge back - I'd rather see him in the main events than Boretista. Well kinda - Randy was the obvious choice to win last year, so I figured they'd swerve everybody and somebody else would win. It'd be more likely to be Ted than Cody I think - WWE officials think he's a better wrestler apparently. Chemistry and Maths, no, but I've very, very good at Biology and English. Jesus, it must have been bad! Yea, I'm on break now as well, for a whole 2 weeks! YAY! Anyway, thanks so much for the copyedit. Most of your suggestions were right, so I changed them, but abput the italics thing - only FB 2009 was a ppv, the rest were just regular shows, which is why I italicised them. Yea, I had a problem with "cutting a promo" as well, 'cause it is jargon, but I didn't know how else to phrase it. See "commented" doesn't really work, 'cause they literally went "I love New York. Sorry, we're late, and we're going to beat the hell out of each other to make up for it". Thank you. I really don't like writing ppv articles, so I'm glad to get it out of the way. :) ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 13:21, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
<--Absolutely. It's annoying that PWI doesn't have a website or something to publish them on - it would be seriously helpful. It's a very useful phrase. :) Yea, I'll probably start with Nemeth I think. It's in the best condition, so it'll be easy enough to get to GA standard. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 14:22, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
<--You must be doing something right - wrong vandalism warnings, IPs vandalising your talk page. Oh my god, they haven't started that up again have they? What articles? I'll keep an eye out wheneber I'm online. I've actually heard the term "fan favorite" used in commentary by Matt Striker. He used it on a SamckDown a couple of weeks ago. Maybe. All I know is we go with the source says. There is no source to say Rhodes' move is a spinning cutter, which is what everyone tries to change it to. Similarly, the only source to say the Zig Zag is a legsweep is unreliable. Hmmm, maybe. I don't know what I'm going to do about Johnny actually. How am I going to put in the article that he disappeared after 2008 and I can't find any info on him? ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 09:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey Blue, when you get chance, I've just got a couple of little points that could do with addressing in the first para of this section:
I've also had a look through the FAC and taken a few pointers in what needs improvement from there. I reckon I can help you on some of these (like redundant wording, repetition etc), as well as the general copyediting for the prose etc. It might take a while, but I reckon it'll be perfectly doable. Anything you want to query so far, just drop me a line. All the best, HJMitchell You rang? 05:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I was doing a bit of tidying up at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching, and I saw that your status was "Match Pending".
Was coaching ever sorted out? If so, could you please ask your coach to add you to the list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status and remove your entry at the Requests page?
If it fell through, and you are still interested in being coached, could you remove the "Match pending" from the list?
If, on the other hand, you are no longer interested in being coached, perhaps you would consider removing your request from the list?

WikiProject Saw Newsletter
Issue V - September 2009 | |
|
Welcome to the fifth issue of the WikiProject Saw's newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do. It happens once a year... the Friday before Halloween... yes, the sixth Saw is less than a month away from release. Seeing as there is already a director and writers attached ( See Here), VI will most likely not be the final entry to the series. Saw VI will be released in theaters on October 23rd. Also, a Saw first, a video game is coming to join the Saw family. Not based on any movie in particular, the game has an original story set between the first and second Saw films. The game will release alongside Saw VI in October. We would encourage all members to get more involved and if you are wondering what with, please ask either user CyberGhostface or user GroundZ3R0 002, they are more than happy to direct your help into any part of Saw that needs it. |

Hello there, I noticed you are a member of the Saw task force, and therefore have foreknowledge of the Saw series, making you an editor with qualifications to review an article under the scope of Saw. I hope am I not bothering your editing, but I would like to bring to your attention that List of Saw media is currently being reviewed for a possible featured list status, but there is currently a major backlog in the amount of articles waiting to be reviewed. I would like to encourage you to participate in the discussion, found here, if you are interested. If you believe I am disrupting your editing or that my message was an attempt to sway your opinions per WP:Canvas, please let me know so I may fix my methods of bringing this conversation to editors attention, I am simply trying to prevent a backlog on the WP:FLC page. Happy edits, GroundZ3R0 002 ( talk) 05:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Dear ThinkBlue,
Wishing you, your family, and friends a very merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate at this time of year), and I hope that the new year will be a good one, in real life, and on the wiki. There is always a reason to spread the holiday spirit; it's a special time of year of almost everyone. ;)
Love and best wishes,
Meaghan -
Merry Christmas! -

Once again it is festive season, a time where festive decorations are displayed and gifts are swapped; but what about the true meaning of christmas? The true meaning of christmas is about the fight for freedom and how in times of hardship and misery, one person leads their people to freedom as a great warrior; for those who fight for a cause are warriors and those who fight for a worthy cause are great warriors. Such an act earns respect and honour; but most importantly, brings happiness to their people. So to achieve this as happiness lies in other people's happiness and greatness lies in how you deal with little people, we selflessly think of others in the hope that they will be happy this christmas.
Hi ThinkBlue, have a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2010!

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:24, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your message, it was appreciated and happy new year to you, as well! Now then, I've not looked at Pitt for a while (I know I said I'd look at some of the other issues raised in the FAC that I could deal with). I have a suggestion though. Why don't you get in touch with one or two of the more critical editors (assuming they're still active here, of course) who commented on the prose, and ask them if they'd be nice enough to drop by and raise any points that still need dealing with.If they come back with copyediting issues, I'll be more than happy to help (it is my speciality!). To that end, my talk page is always open if you need me or if they want to deal straight with the copyeditor! All the best for 2010! HJMitchell You rang? 21:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey ThinkBlue, long time no talk! I wanted to let you know that I've recently nominated Parks and Recreation (season 1), a fairly recent creation of mine, for GAN. This one is a bit close to my heart since I've been working on P&R content for quite a while, and if this one passes I'll be able to pursue a GT. Since you reviewed my GANs for the pilot episode and season finale, as well as I think one or two others, I thought maybe you'd be uniquely suited to give the Season 1 article a review if you can spare the time. Let me know, no problem if you don't want to. Thanks, and hope all is well! Good luck in the Wikicup, which I see you're participating in! — Hunter Kahn ( c) 22:14, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

...I'm considering nomming you for admin. It's been over a year since your last one failed Purplebackpack89 ( talk) 20:51, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
You have pprobably noticed that I intend to nominate Coldplay for FA status soon. (Once the two citation needed tags have been addressed) I was wondering. Perhaps you can be a co-nominator with me? You are at the top of the edit count for the article and you have a lot of experiance with several other Coldplay related GA's. Tell me what you think. Oh..and good luck in the Wikicup!-- Coldplay Expért Let's talk 22:42, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello my bluesy girl! How are you doing with the reviews for the Ray of Light singles? While you're at it, could you shed some support and comment for this? Its painstakingly long article :( --Legolas (talk2me) 05:15, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Number three isn't bad... ;) — Hun ter Ka hn 19:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi ThinkBlue, I wanted to talk to you directly about Ziggler's finishing move rather than get into an edit fight on his page. While the term "reverse bulldog" suits the Zig Zag and it has been described as such, if you have seen him execute the move, it is clear that it does not match the move his page links to. If you would like to review what exactly the Zig Zag looks like, he used the move on the January 8th episode of SmackDown. - WikiFew ( talk) 20:14, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Will you take a look at this. Comment on what are your thoughts about how I edit and the article " Paparazzi". Be frank, if you think what I do is crap, say it. I'm really hurt by such allegations that my contributions to Wikipedia are fancruft and unprofessional crap. --Legolas (talk2me) 12:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey TB. I looked it over and it's in very good shape! I'd say you could probably bring it over to GAN as is and do just fine. I hope you don't mind, but I made a few CE edits, so take a look at those. The only other major suggestion I'd say is to shorten the bit about the Cher doll in the lead. I think it's a little too long; maybe just shave off the last sentence, "It was also explained that the doll's role was due to the producers thinking of "a lot of humor [that] would come out of it". And one other question: Cher said she improvised an ending and liked it better than the real one. Do you know what that was? Reading that and then not finding out what her improvised ending was really killed me! lol. Nice work on the page! — Hun ter Ka hn 18:02, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey, how are you? It has been a while. I saw Rated-RKO is under review. If you need any help with that let me know. With that down, we can then nominate it for a good topic. I'll get to work on Gangrel. Maybe we can get E&C done soon as well.-- Will C 02:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh don't get me started on wrestler bio formats today. In my honest opinion all of our bios are in bad shape. Too much storyline and character and not enough about the actual wrestler. I would see the wins and the titles meaning more than involving in a storyline over a table. The character and big storylines could be mixed in there but not to the extent they are now. I've always wanted to take one bio article. Work on it and turn it into a straight bio on the wrestler and not company storylines he was in. It is like writing about Christian Bale playing Batman in The Dark Knight and switching from him being an actor and then saying he as the character trying to defeat the evil joker. I'll use what I said about Bale and The Terminator as an example: "Then Bale played John Conner in Terminator 4. Conner went on to battle the evil cyberdyne and try to destroy all the terminators with help from Marcus Wright." Seems completely retarded. I understand on the work, I changed the TNA roster to table format and added a shitload of refs. People kept changing things and I was trying to fix it. I finally gave up and it is in pretty bad shape now imo. Not sure who you are talking about but I have an idea. Hey, we should talk on Yahoo IM more. I never know when you are online.-- Will C 21:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I was just wondering if you think I'm a bad user because of some of the stuff I've done. Sometimes I'm reluctant to edit on Wikipedia, because I think people wil look at my contributions and think I'm bad. What do you think? Tech43 ( talk) 20:56, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Are you ready for the FAC? Is there anything else that we need to fix before I nominate it?-- Coldplay Expért Let's talk 23:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Just so you know, I passed Gypsies, Tramps and Weed. — Hun ter Ka hn 15:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
The old one was long. Plus, I figured you might like to archive your talk page sometime. :) Yep, the lead and article look job. Nice job. Hmmm, from the wording of it, yes, it does sound like he has the degree. I gotta say though, cabinet making? That's a little strange. That's a nice article on him though, plenty of info. :) Lawler's too pervy to be on tv - he's there like drooling after Kelly Kelly, who's like what 20?, when he's in his 60s. It shouldn't be allowed. I did a cleanup of Bret's article once, back when I was young and naive, and when I checked on it again about a week later, it was in a worse state than when I started, so I gave up. Thank you, that would be helpful. It doesn't present a very good image of wikipedia when an article on one the most famous pro wrestlers in the world has ridiculously basic grammar errors. Good, maybe the ip has decided to let it rest. Hope so. I know, but I still feel bad. School is just really labour-intensive at the moment, plus I have exams starting in about 3 weeks. Fun.</sarcasm> ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 21:34, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
<--Copyedit done. It's in good condition, and I'd say it's ready to go. Yea, it' cause I have the flu from standing in the rain yesterday. Fire alarm went off, so we were all forced outsaide in the rain. Tons of fun.</sarcasm> I don't feel I helped it to achieve GA status, so I'm not taking credit. It's all yours. :) Exactly, exactly. :) Plus I saw you fixing Miz's article today, so I felt free to wind you up a little. :) I don't like it either. I'm looking forward to the match - it'll be good, but at the same time who are they going to have win it? There's rumours 'bout both of them retiring in the next few years, and I'm not sure that 'Taker'll want his streak broken. I'm really liking the straight edge society thing. Punk is so much better as a heel than a face imo, and he was brilliant at the rumble. Stupid HHH eliminating him. Oh, come on. You know he's awesome. :) ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 19:42, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
<--I think it's just 'cause he keeps getting cheered. Yes, Randy vs. Ted. It's interesting actually, 'cause I agree with you. It does look like it could end up being Randy-Cody at WM. I doubt it though, Ted's the favorite with the WWE higher-ups, so he's more likely to get the 'Mania match. Have you heard about the new ppv plans? All themed. I wonder how many buys they're going to do. Exactly, exactly. Oh, really? I'll have to find it on youtube, and see. :D ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 01:39, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to
Sasata (
submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than
Hunter Kahn (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to
Fetchcomms (
submissions)- his artcle
Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.
Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for reviewing/passing this article as a GA. I'm considering putting it up at FAC, you think it's ready for there yet? (doing it soon since it'd be a good TFA for April 9). Also, per User:Wizardman/GA incentive, if there's one or two articles you would like me to review, I'll gladly do so as soon as time permits. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 00:56, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
I really appreciate the effort you put in reviewing article from the GA nominations, because of the quality of the feedback and detail in suggestions that you post. Please let me know when you will do other reviews, I would gladly work on them. Mephiston999 ( talk) 03:32, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Can you please review the article I have put for GA nomination. Mephiston999 ( talk) 17:13, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Hey man, thanks for reviewing 2009 UEFA Champions League Final for me. It means a lot to me that the article passed GAN with the need for only a few modifications. Just out of interest, if I nominated the article today, do you think it would pass WP:FAC? I doubt it, but if you could let me know the areas where you think it needs improvement, I would be very grateful. – Pee Jay 22:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Got there first! :P Yea, I get that feeling sometimes - mainly if I'm online early in the morning my time, 'cause it's the middle of the night in the states, and everyone is asleep. :D Make sure you drop a 3RR warning on his talk page; if the warning doesn't stop him, you can report him and get him blocked. Exactly, there's no telling where WWE's going with this angle, they could spin it out for months, or end it at Mania. People need to just chillax and realise they're being idiots. I've been too busy to watch any WWE really, I stick with ROH 'cause it's the only thing I have time to watch. :( I think I will watch NXT this weekend though, just for
Bryan Danielson Daniel Bryan (what a stupid name that is). Well, I think Vince lost it a long time ago, but that's just me... Any chance of a favour? Stick
Gregory Helms on your watchlist - he was released today and I'm expecting a ton of "going to TNA" rumours to start flooding the page in the next few days. *rolls eyes* Yea, I was right. It was an awful exam, but hopefully the algebra and co-ordinate geometry sections pull me up. *crosses fingers* Oh, ouch, calculus. I hate calculus. I don't know, but I sure wish it was easier. :( ♥

We lost to France two weeks ago, so they're probably going to win the overall championship this year, unless they fuck up majorly. I did. It was brilliant. OMG, check this out.

I know we are in the process of getting Brad Pitt to FA status, but I was thinking if you wanted to work with me on Randy Orton and John Cena to get them to FA status as well. I plan on doing a copy-edit of these two pages here within the next few days, but I was wondering if you had any ideas to push them to the next level. Are you up for it? – Turian (talk) 16:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Try this: "While promoting Fight Club, Pitt said that the purpose of the film was not necessarily to take one's aggressions out on someone else but rather to 'have an experience, take a punch more' and see how you come out on the other end." Some people don't like "but rather"s but I don't see it as an issue here. – Turian (talk) 18:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello ThinkBlue
Just wondering why you seem to have downgraded the image on Generalissimo (30 Rock) from my original upload File:3.10_Generalissimo.png? The image is allowed under the fair usage policy and has recently been tagged for deletion due to being abandoned... It seems very silly to downgrade an allowed picture, don't you think?

I totally did not realise that you had responded to me. Hectic few weeks, unfortunately, and I just did a cursory scan of my talk page when I logged on. I feel awful. You must think I've been ignoring you or something. I'm really not, I promise. I am so sorry. Thank you. It feels good to have it pass. I really must find some time to work on Mikey.

<---Well, I was actually trying to keep the phrase "Black Light attack" in the section, but I couldn't do it. It sounded too awkward, so I reworded. Hmm, I'd say "Liz with the body paint, which was revealed by Jack using black light" or something similar. I'd say it will help. It's kind of hard to miss an edit notice really. Yep, "Thwagga" as he calls himself (Ok, I know he has a lisp and it's not fair to make fun of him for it, but I'm going to do it anyway) cashed in his MitB on Jericho. Oh, I don't know, Jericho's been awesome as a mentor on NXT - especially when making fun of Cole. :D WWE's really pushing the suprise title changes aren't they? First Sheamus (YAY! Irish guy) and now Thwagga. Wow, Randy's all grown up. *Sniff* No more smoking pot backstage or trashing hotel rooms. I like that analogy just 'cause I get to be HBK. :) Anyway, I menat to say I saw a request for a photo on Mitch's GA review, and I did a flickr search and got nada. Nothing something I can crop - they're all too blurry, or he's not in the photo, or he's in the photo but blocked and I can only get shot of his shoulder or something. Kind of annoying. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 02:24, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
This article is generally good. Some points of contention exist, and I have placed the article on seven-day hold to allow them to be addressed. Good luck with improving the article. Nosleep ( Talk · Contribs) 06:23, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April. | ![]() |

Any idea what you'll be doing next? More FAs or something a little less stressful? If you need a copyedit, I'm all yours!

Yes, it's been awhile, I wanted to congratulate you on the Brad Pitt article, those were quite the extensive nominations to get it passed! For the image, if you know that's her husband (you have other images you can point to), then there's no reason not to make an attempt to secure a free license for it. Although it's not the best angle, it's definitely better than nothing. However, Fey doesn't look too flattering in that image compared to some of other images in the set. I would instead focus on getting another image of just Fey and keep an eye out for a better image of the pair. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 00:46, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
It looks like OTRS recently changed their approval process, and instead of accepting current approvals that I had pending, they instead want all of the authors to switch over the licenses themselves. This can be a hassle for some authors as I sometimes get permission for multiple images. I don't know why we would make it more complicated for the authors when we are fortunate enough that they are already allowing permission. I have to now contact a few editors and hope that they switch it over (and hopefully no images get deleted in the process). I'm glad that we got that Tina Fey image, I think it's a better pose then the one you had a week ago. Thank goodness for premieres! --Happy editing!

Hey! I'm in the middle of a GA review and I could use a little help. The article failed its last GAN and it came to my attention at WT:GAN when the new reviewer disappeared so I took it over and now I find myself disagreeing with the article's primary contributor. Not wishing to prejudice you, but I'm inclined to fail it on 3a (addresses the main aspects) due to the lack of any information on their personal lives (ie other than their careers) but I'd really appreciate your input before I make up my mind. Cheers, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:37, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly.
Hunter Kahn (
submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B.
TonyTheTiger (
submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is. Several WikiCup contestants and judges have already signed up, but regular reviewers and those who hope to do more reviewing are more than welcome to join at the drive page.

Hi Blue. Congrats on the Pitt FA bid. I can't believe you get it passed. The scrutiny for such a huge star must be, well, huge, :p
I just found out Hawke is a co-founder and sponsor of the New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award. I want to add this to Hawke's personal life, but I'm not sure which ref to use. I found three sources so far. official site, Salon.com and Vanity Fair.
Also, I added a supporting source to confirm that "his wife is his kids' former nanny", since the current source only said "Ryan... reportedly worked as a nanny for his two children". I remember Hawke confirmed it in a Guardian interview cited in the article, so I added it as a supporting source. Cheers. -- Artoasis ( talk) 12:33, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm working on the article now. Since you work on bios more than I do. Do you think you could take care of the In Wrestling section for me? I'm just totally blank on how to source that sucker. If I do it, there will only be about 3 moves. Here is the link if you want too: Gangrel.-- Will C 02:48, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
The article
Generalissimo (30 Rock) you nominated as a
good article has been placed on hold
. The article is close to meeting the
good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See

So why exactly should Shawn Michaels' page use "Hickenbottom" 50 times when no one knows him by his real name? Is this some stupid Wikipedia standard or just your own terrible opinion?

Hey! If you've got time, I'd love to hear your input on the discussion on Talk:Brad Pitt, mainly because I don't want to give the impression that I'm trying to "own" the article- I've made a few reverts but nothing outside the normal WP:BRD and now there's a discussion on the talk page, but I'm the only person responding. Btw, Lohan is coming along- I've fixed the image licence and about 2/3 of the refs (ugh!) so it shouldn't be too long before she's ready, though I'd appreciate any more feedback you have.

Hello. You're the only moderator on here I could visibly connect with.
Anyway, there's a crazy English user who goes under the name of Snaisybelle. She is a member of Encyclopedia Dramatica, a rather tasteless website I've been having issues with. On there, Snaisybelle posted a re-written summary of my ED article, which had been added 2 years earlier in January of 2008.
Whenever she puts something on my Wikipedia chat page, I have to sign in to take it out, only for her to add it back in later using the older edit logs. Please protect my talk page, as this is actually very annoying. If you cannot do this, perhaps you could warn the member in question. I'm unsure of how to contact the police in London where she lives, as the ED article she wrote about me seems to be hosted on a private server. 45g ( talk) 07:35, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator
Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this
GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this
Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far.
We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns. See you at the finish! |

Hey ThinkBlue, I was thinking of expanding the career section in Damon's article by adding some quotes about his most notable performances, which would inevitably require some reorganization of the writing already present in the section. Given that Damon gains such good reviews, it seems sort of incomplete to summarize his work without including some more critical praise. What do you think?

It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes.

I realise I'm late with this, but happy birthday! :) First things, thank you for the help with Brendli's GA review, and of course I don't mind that you created the GTC page. No point in hanging around. I am sorry again, recurring theme now for the delay, but I'm back in school now and life is frantic to say the least. It'll better after June 24. More exactly June 25/26, whenever my hangover wears off. :P Well, in my absence WWE updated DiBiase's bio and he is the Million Dollar Champion now apparently. Meh. I don't like it. He needs his own identity - ripping off his father isn't going to get him anywhere in the long run. *rolls eyes* Anyway, how've you been? Need help with anything?

I like having heel Edge back though - I don't like him as a heel. I don't know - I can't remember that far back in wrestling. :P No, I really wouldn't.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Edge_(wrestler). Note that the
three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the
three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to
discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a
consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek
dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request
page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be
blocked from editing. That the WWE was formerly known as the WWF is not a point that needs to be made twice or more in every article mentioning the organization, and certainly not in the lede of articles where the point has no particular relevance. Two editors have objected to your change; rather than edit warring, you should raise your point on the talk page and add the text back only if your view gains consensus.

Yeah, and plus the fact TNA had a wonderful group in the works but just didn't use it right. The TNA Frontline should have been AJ, Joe, Daniels, and AMW. That would have been wonderful. The Mafia was on the right track, though they should of had Jarrett replace Sting, had him lead the group. Now TNA are just like WCW. Hall and Nash should not be tag champs, they should be released. Beer Money, the guns, etc should be fighting over the belts. RVD should be fighting AJ or Joe, not Sting. Hogan should not be on tv as much as he is. The womens division is a joke now. They might as well be called the divas. The storylines are weird. Hogan hasn't done a single thing he said he was going to do yet. Hell, TNA needs a reboot. Have Heyman lead, Bischoff be production only. Hogan be a commentator. All these oldfucks need to find something else to do. Sting, Flair, Nash, Hall, etc should be managers if anything. AJ, RVD, Joe, etc..the somewhat young guys...should be taking up the tv time. As for WWE, I haven't cared in a while about their product. NXT was alright, now it has upset me with Low Ki being mentored by LayCool.-- Will C 01:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Matthewedwards : Chat 21:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Eeeehhhhhhhhh, not much of it seems all that notable, does it? I'd at least dump the New Orleans attorney, and probably anyone who doesn't rate an article on Wikipedia. I mean, who are those people and why does a 12 year old date count as notable? Wildhartlivie ( talk) 22:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing Ned Manning. hamiltonstone ( talk) 00:00, 22 June 2010 (UTC) |
Hello ThinkBlue, my name is Rahul, and I came across your work on articles like Brad Pitt and Maggie Gyllenhaal, which I believe is really good :). For the past couple of months, I have been working on Kareena Kapoor's article in my sandbox. After a long and exhausting schedule of editing, I have finally managed to finish, and I am planning on nominating the article for a FAC. However, before doing so, I am looking for a couple of editors that can help me with copyediting the article. Would you be able to help me with this? I would greatly appreciate if you could. Regards -- Bollywood Dreamz talk 18:59, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
I guarantee that if you go way, way back to an earlier submission for GA review, Americana you will not have to put it on hold like you did this morning with Susan Kennedy and that Family guy thing. I don't begrudge reviewers like yourself the right to review whatever articles you choose, but it is frustrating to have an article waiting for weeks while another gets reviewed 12 hours after submission (Buffy).-- Ishtar456 ( talk) 16:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC) PS, I apologize if this violates your request not to post about GA reviews here. -- Ishtar456 ( talk) 16:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi there, User:Ishtar456 and I are doing a joint review on I Do Do (to try to initiate Ishtar456 into GA reviewing!) Please bear with us if it's a little lengthier than usual. Ishtar456 has started the review and made some comments on prose. I will try to finish the review in the next day or so, although my internet access is not going to be reliable for the rest of the week. I will try though! -- Beloved Freak 17:27, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were
Ian Rose (
submissions) (A),
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader),
ThinkBlue (
submissions) (C)
Casliber (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.
If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and
Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to
Stone (
submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

i deleted the sarah palin section of tina fey cause it is a unneeded section. It's doesn't give fair view of tina fey as in it part of her career but like she said she doesn't want to dwell on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bessex ( talk • contribs) 11:52, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi, you changed the following line to read:
"His greatest commercial successes have been Troy (2004) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Pitt received his second Academy Award nomination for his title role performance in the 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
Your reason was consistency.
In doing so, you undid part of a change I had made, the result of which had been:
"His greatest commercial successes have been Troy (2004) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Pitt received his second Academy Award nomination for his title role performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)."
I don't get how your change is "consistent," but I didn't want to undo it as a courtesy.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 23:42, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Thought to say hello, it has been a while. Was wondering if you needed my help on anything? Also, to say I am deeply sorry for not completing Gangrel by this time. I am probably not worthy of forgiveness, so I just wanted to tell you I plan to try and earn a second chance by finishing Gangrel soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.-- Will C 00:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
No problem, got it on my watchlist. If I catch any changes, I'll take care of them like I saw last night. Yeah, I laughed, then she read it and she laughed. I had forgot about that song, until a few weeks ago it started playing in the car on the way to her house. I placed it on my playlist and been listing to it here and there since. Was listening to Say Anything's Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too a second ago though. Sounds good I guess. Maybe List of TNA World Heavyweight Champions or something else. Possibly updating some of the WWE FLs.-- Will C 22:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Okay, not sure if you've seen my talk page, but a few problems stopped me this pasted week from getting online. That is sloved for the time being.

Article of the month –
2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, new
Good Article.
The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill- handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by
Sasata (
submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (
Sasata (
submissions),
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by
Casliber (
submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by
Suomi Finland 2009 (
submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

Damn! :P I can't say I listen to much Mozart... My mom's a Bach fan though, I hear plenty of his stuff. Yea, well, hopefully they respond. Oftentimes there are some brilliant photos on flickr, but we can't use them because of the licensing. Sucks. Nah, don't worry about it, I'm having a lazy week. Well, a sick week - I've got a stomach virus, but it counts as being lazy since I'm in bed typing this! :P Oooh, money - yes please! ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 00:31, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Put Nick Nemeth on your watchlist and you'll catch up easily. I swear I'm the only person watching that page. :( Hey, I never promised nothing! I guaranteed. Difference. Probably ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 18:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Ooh, Fight Club, that was brilliant. It's been ages since I've seen that. Cool, cool. Yea, consensus was formed - there were "two" people arguing against it, but eh, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jeangabin/Archive. Yes it probably should be removed, although I could swear I read something in HBK's book about him using the spike piledriver? I don't have my copy unfortunately, a friend borrowed it so I can't check. Maybe I'm just imagining things.... ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 18:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Well, I like Miz, but the next HBK? Nah, no way. There's only one HBK. :) I actually Raw was going to win because I didn't figure Vince would let his baby lose. Raw is Vince's show. No, I was going to be sad that Cena would be ruining SmackDown on me. :) By the way, wasn't Boretista's heel turn seriously predictable? As soon as he moved to SmackDown, I was like "He'll be heel in a few months now". ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 15:35, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Oh, yeah remove it. Sure, sure. I noticed you removing the "Cite epsiode" I'll keep an eye out. Well, it's sources and searching for info fopr his career betwenn 1997 and 2001. I can't find anything. Any halp would be appreciated. Hmmm, I'm about to log off to go to dinner, but I'll try and get on later. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 17:42, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
<--Wait, professors are telling you to take exams seriously? Wow, who've thunk it? :P Well, I don't mind too much, and to be honest, I feel like it's your turn to pick what we work on. Legacy was me, Spirit Squad is me, so it's time we did one of your choices. :) Fair is fair. Just as long as Cena's not involved I won't protest too much! ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 05:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
^^I like this template - I just found it. It's seriously useful. :) Maybe, I don't remember that conversation at all. I thought about looking in your archives for it, and then realised that it would take an eternity or two, so... Yea, isn't having reliable sources a criterion? I was pretty strict on it in my reviews. Yea, I didn't think so. All respect to Kendrick, but he's no HBK. :) I was suprised he was pushed at all after London's release, and once he was moved to Raw I knew it was the end of the line. WWE screw up a lot! Here's hoping they don't screw up with Bryan Danielson. You're totally welcome. Don't worry, I know, and I fully expect you defend me if some patronising ass starts posting comments about me! :P ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 11:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Yea, it's about time he dropped the Jamaican gimmick - it got really stale and boring imo. Wow. There's also an article on it --> France vs Republic of Ireland (2010 FIFA World Cup Play-Off), but it's up for deletion. I've played rugby before - full-contact rugby hurts like hell - especially when you're playing with guys well over 6 ft and built like tanks. :( Yea, don't let him wind you up. That's what he wants. He's just a troll - once he refused to answer my question at Talk:Randy Orton#HHH vs ORton, and instead told me to stop "attacking" people I decided to ignore him. It's your best bet as well, or else you'll lose your temper with him. The thing to do is laugh at the guy, who clearly must be very sheltered if he thinks being told that he's not civil is a personal attack. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 09:09, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi ThinkBlue, I'm very happy to see that you have passed this article for GA. Thank you so much for the review. I also went ahead and added an accessdate for the Reference like you suggested. Thanks again for your help! Gongshow ⊕ 01:35, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Well not actually done, but the writting is done. I'm left to source about a section and a half of his TNA career then I'm done. Okay, well I guess when I get finished, I'll copyedit it then, you'll check over the stuff I did, and we'll be done with him. I'll copyedit Edge real quick and we'll nominate them both at GAN. I guess you on Edge and me on Cage?-- Will C 15:05, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I am done with sourcing completely. I'll give you a chance to change anything you wrote before I do the copyedit. Only thing left after that is adding the pictures. How about you add pictures to the sections you wrote, while I'll add pictures to the ones I wrote? I feel the infobox image should be the one used now or the one where he holds the ECW Title; what do you think? Here is a link. After I do the copyedits and we get them up on GAN, you want to start on the tag article?-- Will C 07:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
I'll pray you find someone. You are a great person, if I lived near you I'm sure I would ask you out. I search for personality, and you got a great one.

Yeah, ya see why it took me so long, and I'm a perfectionists. Yeah, I'll nominate it after you nominate Edge. No, don't worry about it. I say what I mean, and I mean this. You are a great person, and the person you end up with, will be the luckiest son of a bitch that ever lived. P.S. Cage is nominated.-- Will C 06:40, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah that sounds fine. I can pull out the main article quickly. We can do this after E&C, Rated RKO, and AJ and Tomko, maybe even after The Brood. Only three articles left to getting it to topic status. My only ideas were working on every 2002 event, making a main article like I've worked on in a subpage regarding 2008 TNA events. Another was all the WrestleMania events to GA or FA.-- Will C 18:23, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah I hope. I also hope I get better soon. Woke up with a cold. I've worked on E&C a little, what do you think?-- Will C 19:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah they signed him the other day. I'm 50/50 on the situation. Don't want him to bury people, but he brings publicity. As long as he only fights and defeats old WWE and WCW guys, I'm cool. But loses to AJ, Joe, Daniels, etc I'm cool.-- Will C 02:26, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Maybe, he has a book out and a promotion to run now (Hulkamania). I rather he not get in the ring. Just be an on-screen character or manager. I'm afraid he will bury some of TNA's talent, like AJ. No I'm somewhat better. Just got a small runny nose which is usual for me, since I got allergies. I've been better since Sunday technically, when it dried up. No, it is our project. I'll let you choose on which format, since that was the half you worked on. I want to keep it fair. People think I'm trying to own stuff and run stuff my way already. Which is not the case. So to show this, and make sure you don't start to think like others do, I'll let you choose since you worked on the lead down to his departure from WWE, and I worked on the rest.-- Will C 20:01, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Would like to be, don't know how to get the job though. Yeah, been fine since last Sunday. Yeah, my dad thought I had it, but I was fine in three days, till I got a head cold. Yeah, same with me. You expanded HBK's article, you should know him and the article better than anyone else. Just trying to keep it accurate and up to date. No problem.-- Will C 22:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, praise is always fun, but if I was writing, all I would want is to know they are enjoying the product. Yeah, we need the guidelines, but I'm saying not to take them too literal. Sometimes it is better to say fuck it. Like with spoiler situations. I say fuck it now adays. What is the problem with waiting afew days? I say just add it now, and get it over with.-- Will C 11:03, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah I don't care. My focus hasn't been on those topics anyway. Just waiting on a review will take 2 months. Really no need to rush. At the moment I'll help out anyway I can to get closer to the topic goals with my good friend ThinkBlue :), even though my focus is on finishing numerous PPVs: User:Wrestlinglover/Destination X (2005), User:Wrestlinglover/Genesis (2007), User:Wrestlinglover/Turning Point (2007), User:Wrestlinglover/Final Resolution (2008), User:Wrestlinglover/Against All Odds (2008), User:Wrestlinglover/Destination X (2008), User:Wrestlinglover/Victory Road (2008), User:Wrestlinglover/Bound for Glory IV, User:Wrestlinglover/Final Resolution (December 2008), and User:Wrestlinglover/Genesis (2009).

While I was browsing through the peer review backlog, I noticed that Madonna (entertainer) was requested for peer review on Oct 12. Since you were listed as an active participant on WP:MADONNA, I thought you might be interested in peer reviewing the article. Only one person has reviewed it so far. Are you interested, or do you know of anyone who would be interested in reviewing the quality of the article? ...but what do you think? ~ B F izz ( talk) 06:07, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello! I was wondering. Do you think that the article Viva la Vida or Death and all His Friends can be considered a good article? Its already B-class and I see no imediate problems with it.-- Coldplay Expért Let's talk 13:20, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
So where do we go from here? We seem to have hit a wall. We got Cage and Edge at GAN. Now we only have to get Gangrel, Rated RKO, and E&C done (maybe even The Brood).-- Will C 00:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
I just don't see that thing in males. Probably alot of guys are like that, must be the reason some get so nervous talking to women because they don't see it in themseleves. Happy late Thanksgiving to you too, and an early Merry Christmas! It was decent. Hey, don't worry about it. Take your time. I'll be reviewing a few articles ( The Fame Ball Tour and LoveGame) along with working on a few in my subpages ( Destination X (2005), Genesis (2007), Turning Point (2007), Final Resolution (January 2008), Against All Odds (2008), and Destination X (2008)), so take your time.

I was a little miffed about this article today. After the editor added the content to the article, I spent about an hour hunting down sources to actually verify what was in it, formatted the citations and cleaned it up. I removed the content about him putting up a website, since the website didn't particularly say that, and removed the rather extraneous content about Twitter. When I finished, this is what the paragraph looked like, cites showing:
The editor posted a snarky comment on my talk page, including asking me why I didn't add it before, and a nicer version on the article talk page, chastizing me for "simply revert"ing his edit. When I came in and saw that, I posted a response to him in both places and then saw that you had made some changes. So, miffed is slightly passed. Please look at the sources I added and consider them. Also, in passing, the article says he did script work on Frida and The Score but the lead now says he wrote Frida and The Incredible Hulk. Thanks. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 21:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey Thinkblue I had a question about something WWE related and thought you would be the one to ask. Is there any way we could create seperate articles for more WWE DVDS and books, EX: Tombstone: History of the Undertaker. I mean I can see where people would think theyre not notable, but I think they are because they are tchnically movies, and movies have articles here on Wikipedia too. I'm not going to create anything btw, unless you say so, but I just want your opinion on this. Thanks. Tech43 ( talk) 23:21, 3 December 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 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!

...oh, wait. :P The old one was pretty long, huh? Exactly. I'm very pleased now. :) I'll readily admit to being a massive Davey Richards mark. He's amazing. Seriously. Yea, it really bugs me. :( Actually, I'll tell ya what image I found yesterday when I was searching Flickr: this 'un. It's amazing! :P Bryan Danielson really looked like a lunatic in 04. :P I haven't decided whether or not to ask for the uploader to release it, but I'm really tempted to. It'd be a pretty awesome addition to his article, doncha think? ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 21:34, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
<--Well, since you pimped HBK's DVD, I'll just give you this link and let you decide whether or not you want to spend $15. :) Hmmm, I would like to see Edge back - I'd rather see him in the main events than Boretista. Well kinda - Randy was the obvious choice to win last year, so I figured they'd swerve everybody and somebody else would win. It'd be more likely to be Ted than Cody I think - WWE officials think he's a better wrestler apparently. Chemistry and Maths, no, but I've very, very good at Biology and English. Jesus, it must have been bad! Yea, I'm on break now as well, for a whole 2 weeks! YAY! Anyway, thanks so much for the copyedit. Most of your suggestions were right, so I changed them, but abput the italics thing - only FB 2009 was a ppv, the rest were just regular shows, which is why I italicised them. Yea, I had a problem with "cutting a promo" as well, 'cause it is jargon, but I didn't know how else to phrase it. See "commented" doesn't really work, 'cause they literally went "I love New York. Sorry, we're late, and we're going to beat the hell out of each other to make up for it". Thank you. I really don't like writing ppv articles, so I'm glad to get it out of the way. :) ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 13:21, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
<--Absolutely. It's annoying that PWI doesn't have a website or something to publish them on - it would be seriously helpful. It's a very useful phrase. :) Yea, I'll probably start with Nemeth I think. It's in the best condition, so it'll be easy enough to get to GA standard. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 14:22, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
<--You must be doing something right - wrong vandalism warnings, IPs vandalising your talk page. Oh my god, they haven't started that up again have they? What articles? I'll keep an eye out wheneber I'm online. I've actually heard the term "fan favorite" used in commentary by Matt Striker. He used it on a SamckDown a couple of weeks ago. Maybe. All I know is we go with the source says. There is no source to say Rhodes' move is a spinning cutter, which is what everyone tries to change it to. Similarly, the only source to say the Zig Zag is a legsweep is unreliable. Hmmm, maybe. I don't know what I'm going to do about Johnny actually. How am I going to put in the article that he disappeared after 2008 and I can't find any info on him? ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 09:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey Blue, when you get chance, I've just got a couple of little points that could do with addressing in the first para of this section:
I've also had a look through the FAC and taken a few pointers in what needs improvement from there. I reckon I can help you on some of these (like redundant wording, repetition etc), as well as the general copyediting for the prose etc. It might take a while, but I reckon it'll be perfectly doable. Anything you want to query so far, just drop me a line. All the best, HJMitchell You rang? 05:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I was doing a bit of tidying up at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching, and I saw that your status was "Match Pending".
Was coaching ever sorted out? If so, could you please ask your coach to add you to the list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status and remove your entry at the Requests page?
If it fell through, and you are still interested in being coached, could you remove the "Match pending" from the list?
If, on the other hand, you are no longer interested in being coached, perhaps you would consider removing your request from the list?

WikiProject Saw Newsletter
Issue V - September 2009 | |
|
Welcome to the fifth issue of the WikiProject Saw's newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do. It happens once a year... the Friday before Halloween... yes, the sixth Saw is less than a month away from release. Seeing as there is already a director and writers attached ( See Here), VI will most likely not be the final entry to the series. Saw VI will be released in theaters on October 23rd. Also, a Saw first, a video game is coming to join the Saw family. Not based on any movie in particular, the game has an original story set between the first and second Saw films. The game will release alongside Saw VI in October. We would encourage all members to get more involved and if you are wondering what with, please ask either user CyberGhostface or user GroundZ3R0 002, they are more than happy to direct your help into any part of Saw that needs it. |

Hello there, I noticed you are a member of the Saw task force, and therefore have foreknowledge of the Saw series, making you an editor with qualifications to review an article under the scope of Saw. I hope am I not bothering your editing, but I would like to bring to your attention that List of Saw media is currently being reviewed for a possible featured list status, but there is currently a major backlog in the amount of articles waiting to be reviewed. I would like to encourage you to participate in the discussion, found here, if you are interested. If you believe I am disrupting your editing or that my message was an attempt to sway your opinions per WP:Canvas, please let me know so I may fix my methods of bringing this conversation to editors attention, I am simply trying to prevent a backlog on the WP:FLC page. Happy edits, GroundZ3R0 002 ( talk) 05:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Dear ThinkBlue,
Wishing you, your family, and friends a very merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate at this time of year), and I hope that the new year will be a good one, in real life, and on the wiki. There is always a reason to spread the holiday spirit; it's a special time of year of almost everyone. ;)

Once again it is festive season, a time where festive decorations are displayed and gifts are swapped; but what about the true meaning of christmas? The true meaning of christmas is about the fight for freedom and how in times of hardship and misery, one person leads their people to freedom as a great warrior; for those who fight for a cause are warriors and those who fight for a worthy cause are great warriors. Such an act earns respect and honour; but most importantly, brings happiness to their people. So to achieve this as happiness lies in other people's happiness and greatness lies in how you deal with little people, we selflessly think of others in the hope that they will be happy this christmas.
Hi ThinkBlue, have a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2010!

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:24, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your message, it was appreciated and happy new year to you, as well! Now then, I've not looked at Pitt for a while (I know I said I'd look at some of the other issues raised in the FAC that I could deal with). I have a suggestion though. Why don't you get in touch with one or two of the more critical editors (assuming they're still active here, of course) who commented on the prose, and ask them if they'd be nice enough to drop by and raise any points that still need dealing with.If they come back with copyediting issues, I'll be more than happy to help (it is my speciality!). To that end, my talk page is always open if you need me or if they want to deal straight with the copyeditor! All the best for 2010! HJMitchell You rang? 21:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey ThinkBlue, long time no talk! I wanted to let you know that I've recently nominated Parks and Recreation (season 1), a fairly recent creation of mine, for GAN. This one is a bit close to my heart since I've been working on P&R content for quite a while, and if this one passes I'll be able to pursue a GT. Since you reviewed my GANs for the pilot episode and season finale, as well as I think one or two others, I thought maybe you'd be uniquely suited to give the Season 1 article a review if you can spare the time. Let me know, no problem if you don't want to. Thanks, and hope all is well! Good luck in the Wikicup, which I see you're participating in! — Hunter Kahn ( c) 22:14, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

You have pprobably noticed that I intend to nominate Coldplay for FA status soon. (Once the two citation needed tags have been addressed) I was wondering. Perhaps you can be a co-nominator with me? You are at the top of the edit count for the article and you have a lot of experiance with several other Coldplay related GA's. Tell me what you think.

Hi ThinkBlue, I wanted to talk to you directly about Ziggler's finishing move rather than get into an edit fight on his page. While the term "reverse bulldog" suits the Zig Zag and it has been described as such, if you have seen him execute the move, it is clear that it does not match the move his page links to. If you would like to review what exactly the Zig Zag looks like, he used the move on the January 8th episode of SmackDown. - WikiFew ( talk) 20:14, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Will you take a look at this. Comment on what are your thoughts about how I edit and the article " Paparazzi". Be frank, if you think what I do is crap, say it. I'm really hurt by such allegations that my contributions to Wikipedia are fancruft and unprofessional crap. --Legolas (talk2me) 12:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey TB. I looked it over and it's in very good shape! I'd say you could probably bring it over to GAN as is and do just fine. I hope you don't mind, but I made a few CE edits, so take a look at those. The only other major suggestion I'd say is to shorten the bit about the Cher doll in the lead. I think it's a little too long; maybe just shave off the last sentence, "It was also explained that the doll's role was due to the producers thinking of "a lot of humor [that] would come out of it". And one other question: Cher said she improvised an ending and liked it better than the real one. Do you know what that was? Reading that and then not finding out what her improvised ending was really killed me! lol. Nice work on the page! — Hun ter Ka hn 18:02, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey, how are you? It has been a while. I saw Rated-RKO is under review. If you need any help with that let me know. With that down, we can then nominate it for a good topic. I'll get to work on Gangrel. Maybe we can get E&C done soon as well.-- Will C 02:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh don't get me started on wrestler bio formats today. In my honest opinion all of our bios are in bad shape. Too much storyline and character and not enough about the actual wrestler. I would see the wins and the titles meaning more than involving in a storyline over a table. The character and big storylines could be mixed in there but not to the extent they are now. I've always wanted to take one bio article. Work on it and turn it into a straight bio on the wrestler and not company storylines he was in. It is like writing about Christian Bale playing Batman in The Dark Knight and switching from him being an actor and then saying he as the character trying to defeat the evil joker. I'll use what I said about Bale and The Terminator as an example: "Then Bale played John Conner in Terminator 4. Conner went on to battle the evil cyberdyne and try to destroy all the terminators with help from Marcus Wright." Seems completely retarded. I understand on the work, I changed the TNA roster to table format and added a shitload of refs. People kept changing things and I was trying to fix it. I finally gave up and it is in pretty bad shape now imo. Not sure who you are talking about but I have an idea. Hey, we should talk on Yahoo IM more. I never know when you are online.-- Will C 21:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

That's a nice article on him though, plenty of info. :) Lawler's too pervy to be on tv - he's there like drooling after Kelly Kelly, who's like what 20?, when he's in his 60s. It shouldn't be allowed. I did a cleanup of Bret's article once, back when I was young and naive, and when I checked on it again about a week later, it was in a worse state than when I started, so I gave up. Thank you, that would be helpful. It doesn't present a very good image of wikipedia when an article on one the most famous pro wrestlers in the world has ridiculously basic grammar errors. Good, maybe the ip has decided to let it rest. Hope so. I know, but I still feel bad. School is just really labour-intensive at the moment, plus I have exams starting in about 3 weeks. Fun.</sarcasm> ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 21:34, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
<--Copyedit done. It's in good condition, and I'd say it's ready to go. Yea, it' cause I have the flu from standing in the rain yesterday. Fire alarm went off, so we were all forced outsaide in the rain. Tons of fun.</sarcasm> I don't feel I helped it to achieve GA status, so I'm not taking credit. It's all yours. :) Exactly, exactly. :) Plus I saw you fixing Miz's article today, so I felt free to wind you up a little. :) I don't like it either. I'm looking forward to the match - it'll be good, but at the same time who are they going to have win it? There's rumours 'bout both of them retiring in the next few years, and I'm not sure that 'Taker'll want his streak broken. I'm really liking the straight edge society thing. Punk is so much better as a heel than a face imo, and he was brilliant at the rumble. Stupid HHH eliminating him. Oh, come on. You know he's awesome. :) ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 19:42, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
<--I think it's just 'cause he keeps getting cheered. Yes, Randy vs. Ted. It's interesting actually, 'cause I agree with you. It does look like it could end up being Randy-Cody at WM. I doubt it though, Ted's the favorite with the WWE higher-ups, so he's more likely to get the 'Mania match. Have you heard about the new ppv plans? All themed. I wonder how many buys they're going to do. Exactly, exactly. Oh, really? I'll have to find it on youtube, and see. :D ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 01:39, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to
Sasata (
submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than
Hunter Kahn (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to
Fetchcomms (
submissions)- his artcle
Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.
Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for reviewing/passing this article as a GA. I'm considering putting it up at FAC, you think it's ready for there yet? (doing it soon since it'd be a good TFA for April 9).

Got there first! :P Yea, I get that feeling sometimes - mainly if I'm online early in the morning my time, 'cause it's the middle of the night in the states, and everyone is asleep. :D Make sure you drop a 3RR warning on his talk page; if the warning doesn't stop him, you can report him and get him blocked. Exactly, there's no telling where WWE's going with this angle, they could spin it out for months, or end it at Mania. People need to just chillax and realise they're being idiots. I've been too busy to watch any WWE really, I stick with ROH 'cause it's the only thing I have time to watch. :( I think I will watch NXT this weekend though, just for
Bryan Danielson Daniel Bryan (what a stupid name that is). Well, I think Vince lost it a long time ago, but that's just me... Any chance of a favour? Stick
Gregory Helms on your watchlist - he was released today and I'm expecting a ton of "going to TNA" rumours to start flooding the page in the next few days. *rolls eyes* Yea, I was right.

I know we are in the process of getting Brad Pitt to FA status, but I was thinking if you wanted to work with me on Randy Orton and John Cena to get them to FA status as well.

Are you up for it? – Turian (talk) 16:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Try this: "While promoting Fight Club, Pitt said that the purpose of the film was not necessarily to take one's aggressions out on someone else but rather to 'have an experience, take a punch more' and see how you come out on the other end." Some people don't like "but rather"s but I don't see it as an issue here. – Turian (talk) 18:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello ThinkBlue
Just wondering why you seem to have downgraded the image on Generalissimo (30 Rock) from my original upload File:3.10_Generalissimo.png? The image is allowed under the fair usage policy and has recently been tagged for deletion due to being abandoned... It seems very silly to downgrade an allowed picture, don't you think?

<---Well, I was actually trying to keep the phrase "Black Light attack" in the section, but I couldn't do it. It sounded too awkward, so I reworded. Hmm, I'd say "Liz with the body paint, which was revealed by Jack using black light" or something similar. I'd say it will help. It's kind of hard to miss an edit notice really. Yep, "Thwagga" as he calls himself (Ok, I know he has a lisp and it's not fair to make fun of him for it, but I'm going to do it anyway) cashed in his MitB on Jericho. Oh, I don't know, Jericho's been awesome as a mentor on NXT - especially when making fun of Cole. :D WWE's really pushing the suprise title changes aren't they? First Sheamus (YAY! Irish guy) and now Thwagga. Wow, Randy's all grown up. *Sniff* No more smoking pot backstage or trashing hotel rooms. I like that analogy just 'cause I get to be HBK. :) Anyway, I menat to say I saw a request for a photo on Mitch's GA review, and I did a flickr search and got nada. Nothing something I can crop - they're all too blurry, or he's not in the photo, or he's in the photo but blocked and I can only get shot of his shoulder or something.

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April. | ![]() |

Yes, it's been awhile, I wanted to congratulate you on the Brad Pitt article, those were quite the extensive nominations to get it passed! For the image, if you know that's her husband (you have other images you can point to), then there's no reason not to make an attempt to secure a free license for it. Although it's not the best angle, it's definitely better than nothing. However, Fey doesn't look too flattering in that image compared to some of other images in the set. I would instead focus on getting another image of just Fey and keep an eye out for a better image of the pair. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 00:46, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
It looks like OTRS recently changed their approval process, and instead of accepting current approvals that I had pending, they instead want all of the authors to switch over the licenses themselves. This can be a hassle for some authors as I sometimes get permission for multiple images. I don't know why we would make it more complicated for the authors when we are fortunate enough that they are already allowing permission. I have to now contact a few editors and hope that they switch it over (and hopefully no images get deleted in the process). I'm glad that we got that Tina Fey image, I think it's a better pose then the one you had a week ago. Thank goodness for premieres! --Happy editing!

Hey! I'm in the middle of a GA review and I could use a little help. The article failed its last GAN and it came to my attention at WT:GAN when the new reviewer disappeared so I took it over and now I find myself disagreeing with the article's primary contributor. Not wishing to prejudice you, but I'm inclined to fail it on 3a (addresses the main aspects) due to the lack of any information on their personal lives (ie other than their careers) but I'd really appreciate your input before I make up my mind.

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly.
Hunter Kahn (
submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B.
TonyTheTiger (
submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is. Several WikiCup contestants and judges have already signed up, but regular reviewers and those who hope to do more reviewing are more than welcome to join at the drive page.

Hi Blue. Congrats on the Pitt FA bid. I can't believe you get it passed. The scrutiny for such a huge star must be, well, huge, :p
I just found out Hawke is a co-founder and sponsor of the New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award. I want to add this to Hawke's personal life, but I'm not sure which ref to use. I found three sources so far. official site, Salon.com and Vanity Fair.
Also, I added a supporting source to confirm that "his wife is his kids' former nanny", since the current source only said "Ryan... reportedly worked as a nanny for his two children". I remember Hawke confirmed it in a Guardian interview cited in the article, so I added it as a supporting source. Cheers. -- Artoasis ( talk) 12:33, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm working on the article now. Since you work on bios more than I do. Do you think you could take care of the In Wrestling section for me? I'm just totally blank on how to source that sucker.

Generalissimo (30 Rock) you nominated as a

. The article is close to meeting the
good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See

Hey! If you've got time, I'd love to hear your input on the discussion on Talk:Brad Pitt, mainly because I don't want to give the impression that I'm trying to "own" the article- I've made a few reverts but nothing outside the normal WP:BRD and now there's a discussion on the talk page, but I'm the only person responding. Btw, Lohan is coming along- I've fixed the image licence and about 2/3 of the refs (ugh!) so it shouldn't be too long before she's ready, though I'd appreciate any more feedback you have. All the best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:20, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. You're the only moderator on here I could visibly connect with.
Anyway, there's a crazy English user who goes under the name of Snaisybelle. She is a member of Encyclopedia Dramatica, a rather tasteless website I've been having issues with. On there, Snaisybelle posted a re-written summary of my ED article, which had been added 2 years earlier in January of 2008.
Whenever she puts something on my Wikipedia chat page, I have to sign in to take it out, only for her to add it back in later using the older edit logs. Please protect my talk page, as this is actually very annoying. If you cannot do this, perhaps you could warn the member in question. I'm unsure of how to contact the police in London where she lives, as the ED article she wrote about me seems to be hosted on a private server. 45g ( talk) 07:35, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator
Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this
GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this
Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far.
We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns. See you at the finish! |

Hey ThinkBlue, I was thinking of expanding the career section in Damon's article by adding some quotes about his most notable performances, which would inevitably require some reorganization of the writing already present in the section. Given that Damon gains such good reviews, it seems sort of incomplete to summarize his work without including some more critical praise. What do you think?

Round two is over, and we are down to our final 32. For anyone interested in the final standings (though not arranged by group)
this page has been compiled. Congratulations to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions), our clear overall round winner, and to
ThinkBlue (
submissions) and
Arsenikk (
submissions), who were solidly second and third respectively. There were a good number of high scorers this round- competition was certainly tough! Round three begins tomorrow, but anything promoted after the end of round two is eligible for points. 16 contestants (eight pool leaders and eight wildcards) will progress to round four in two months- things are really starting to get competitive. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Judge iMatthew has retired from Wikipedia, and we wish him the best. The competition has been ticking over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. A special thank you goes to participants
Stone (
submissions) and
White Shadows (
submissions) for their help in preparing for round three. Good luck everyone! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from

I just saw the edit by the IP user, then I checked the box office of Reality Bites. Surprisingly, it did triple its budget according to wiki.

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.
For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. |

I realise I'm late with this, but happy birthday! :) First things, thank you for the help with Brendli's GA review, and of course I don't mind that you created the GTC page. No point in hanging around. I am sorry again, recurring theme now for the delay, but I'm back in school now and life is frantic to say the least. It'll better after June 24. More exactly June 25/26, whenever my hangover wears off. :P Well, in my absence WWE updated DiBiase's bio and he is the Million Dollar Champion now apparently. Meh. I don't like it. He needs his own identity - ripping off his father isn't going to get him anywhere in the long run. *rolls eyes* Anyway, how've you been? Need help with anything? I promise to try and get to it in the next month. :P ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 01:59, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
<--Exactly, exactly. He must be. Hmmm, I might look it up on youtube. A rated-RKO reunion would be pretty cool. But Randy's face now, so I don't see it happening. I like having heel Edge back though - I don't like him as a heel. I don't know - I can't remember that far back in wrestling. :P No, I really wouldn't. Considering that I'm the main contributor on Smith, Nattie and Wilson's articles? Hells yea. I was actually thinking we should start planning out next topic. Great Cool minds think alike. ♥

Say I see you have reverted my addition to the Liv Tyler article, with the edit summary that it doesn't belong in the lede. I don't agree that it doesn't, but I will happily add it to the personal section instead.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Edge_(wrestler). Note that the
three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the
three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to
discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a
consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek
dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request
page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be
blocked from editing. That the WWE was formerly known as the WWF is not a point that needs to be made twice or more in every article mentioning the organization, and certainly not in the lede of articles where the point has no particular relevance. Two editors have objected to your change; rather than edit warring, you should raise your point on the talk page and add the text back only if your view gains consensus.

You are a joy to talk to, I would have to be out of my mind to not communicate with you.

Yeah, and plus the fact TNA had a wonderful group in the works but just didn't use it right. The TNA Frontline should have been AJ, Joe, Daniels, and AMW. That would have been wonderful. The Mafia was on the right track, though they should of had Jarrett replace Sting, had him lead the group. Now TNA are just like WCW. Hall and Nash should not be tag champs, they should be released. Beer Money, the guns, etc should be fighting over the belts. RVD should be fighting AJ or Joe, not Sting. Hogan should not be on tv as much as he is. The womens division is a joke now. They might as well be called the divas. The storylines are weird. Hogan hasn't done a single thing he said he was going to do yet. Hell, TNA needs a reboot. Have Heyman lead, Bischoff be production only. Hogan be a commentator. All these oldfucks need to find something else to do. Sting, Flair, Nash, Hall, etc should be managers if anything. AJ, RVD, Joe, etc..the somewhat young guys...should be taking up the tv time. As for WWE, I haven't cared in a while about their product. NXT was alright, now it has upset me with Low Ki being mentored by LayCool.-- Will C 01:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Matthewedwards : Chat 21:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were

Sturmvogel_66 (

ThinkBlue (
submissions) (C)
Casliber (

TonyTheTiger (

This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at

Hi, you changed the following line to read:
"His greatest commercial successes have been Troy (2004) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Pitt received his second Academy Award nomination for his title role performance in the 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
Your reason was consistency.
In doing so, you undid part of a change I had made, the result of which had been:
"His greatest commercial successes have been Troy (2004) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Pitt received his second Academy Award nomination for his title role performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)."

The edit has potential but there were a few errors in it and I need your help putting it back to the pre-IP edit form while keeping the positive contributions that come with it. (I know I have no smooth way of telling you this, it's one of those things that you have to see for yourself) Thanks,-- White Shadows I ran away from you 01:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Thought to say hello, it has been a while. Was wondering if you needed my help on anything? Also, to say I am deeply sorry for not completing Gangrel by this time. I am probably not worthy of forgiveness, so I just wanted to tell you I plan to try and earn a second chance by finishing Gangrel soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.-- Will C 00:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
No problem, got it on my watchlist. If I catch any changes, I'll take care of them like I saw last night. Yeah, I laughed, then she read it and she laughed. I had forgot about that song, until a few weeks ago it started playing in the car on the way to her house. I placed it on my playlist and been listing to it here and there since. Was listening to Say Anything's Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too a second ago though. Sounds good I guess. Maybe List of TNA World Heavyweight Champions or something else. Possibly updating some of the WWE FLs.-- Will C 22:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Okay, not sure if you've seen my talk page, but a few problems stopped me this pasted week from getting online. That is sloved for the time being. So soon I should be starting work on Gangrel, thought to come by and tell you I'm back and I can't wait to work with you again.-- Will C 04:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Dude can you read? If it hasnt aired, don't put it on, I'm talking about the article Adam Birch or Joey Mercury, if it hasn't aired or if you don't have a relible source, please don't add it! Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by GD1223 ( talk • contribs) 00:26, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month –
2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, new
Good Article.
The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill- handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

Hey, " Dealbreakers Talk Show" has passed, I've left a couple of comments at the review page. I also hacked the prose up a bit and cut out quite a bit, so please do check it and see if you want to add any back!-- Beloved Freak 21:09, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Hey! I answered back to the comment. Also, can you review Breathe (Taylor Swift song)? It's a short review. I promise. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 20:44, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
...ha just kidding... I've got one under music and one under Theatre, film, and drama, if you're interested. They're both pretty long lists though, so don't worry if you don't get to them for a while. :) -- Beloved Freak 20:08, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Very cool! Even if it put you ahead of me in the WikiCup. :) And that sounds good for Crevasse. Sorry I'm moving slowly on the season list. Staxringold talk contribs 00:02, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by
Sasata (
submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (
Sasata (
submissions),
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by
Casliber (
submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by
Suomi Finland 2009 (
submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

How the hell have you been? I'm fine. What are you working on nowadays? I'm working on " Bad Romance" for FA. Sighhh, I was hoping for an "Awesome Wikipedia Day" for July 16, but alas! That was my b'day :( — Legolas (talk2me) 05:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey! Remember me? I'm your adopted user and I've seem to have run into a bit of a snag with another editor will you look over some discussions for me and add your neutral input? Thanks.
