Heya Peter, I self-nom'd a DYK for a new article ( I'm a PC) under November 30th, and it appears that most of the others under that day have been evaluated. how long should I wait before asking about it? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, Peter. I appreciate your comments both on my talk page and the DYK. I haven't done a lot of DYK stuff, or I'd help out there more. It seems a lot of the rules for how to assemble a DYK are a bit spread out, slowing down the process for someone trying to put one together.

On a side note, all things being equal (hook, length, etc.) how does one choose one DYK over another? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 15:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Peter. The section "Possible problems in irrigation" has been removed as well as the "Kirby Bauer Disk Diffusion Test" photograph. Please tell me who removed it, and why that was done. Thanks, ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notindustry ( talk • contribs) 13:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Peter, it's nice to know somebody other than myself is interested in the collection! There really is a shockingly low amount of interest for the collection, as is evident by the amazingly low amount of online sources. It's mainly sources I need now, for it to pass as a GA. The reviewer recommended looking for some newspaper articles but I can't seem to find many! ;) All the best, -- Cameron * 14:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Such resources are always a bonus. ;) There really is very little literature about them but if you could find anything it would be greatly appreciated. :) Regards, -- Cameron * 16:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Good to see you back :-) Tan | 39 19:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Peter, the user from IP address 71.160.176.166 that added our company to the possible list of "spammers" page you reverted yesterday is simply someone who is upset that we posted a message about our company and its offerings in one of her chat groups. As a company, we don't send out E-mail and therefore don't spam. She's just a bitter homeschool mom. So, I wish you wouldn't revert references to our company spamming people. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Readinghelp ( talk • contribs) 10:16, 21 October 2008

Hello Readinghelp. With respect, she can take that up with you through the normal channels (phone, email), and not on Wikipedia. Wikipedia isn't a complaints alternative, so if it appeared to be vandalism, I would've reverted and warned. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 09:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

The bswa stuff on this article is completely irrelevent to the deceaced john lorber.

Half the article is about ajahn brahm and his wrong use of one of lorbers theories. Disgraceful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.34.227 ( talk) 09:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Please discuss these edits on the talk page of the article rather than disrupting the mainspace. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 09:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Hiya. For several months now, the article naming for 18th Century British royals has been ever-which-where — all over the shop. In an attempt to solve this, I have prepared a page for discussion: here. Please, please, please come and discuss, even contribute to the Poll. Cheers! D B D 15:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I would like to contest the deletion of this article E-Sports Entertainment Association and respond to the claims that the content is both not notable and falls under "blatent advertising". First, no external sources other than the site was mentioned yet a simple search reveals noteworthy mention in the NY Times ( http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/05/magazine/05wwln_consumed.html), Post Gazette ( http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06207/708718-96.stm) and CNet News ( http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-9889191-52.html). User base was also mentioned yet the site has over 300k accounts and gets over 3 million page views a month. Also, similar companies were listed as examples of deletion yet their articles are still kept as valid Cyberathlete Amateur League and GotFrag. Thank you, Thunberg —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:29, 25 October 2008 (UTC).

It was deleted per a community decision. Three independent people recognised the article as one written in the style of an advertisement. As I am no longer an administrator, I would ask you to contest this at WP:DRV, if you believe this was a wrong decision. Best, PeterSymonds ( talk) 03:45, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Peter Symonds! Thank you very much for your support and comments in the RfA. It passed today, and your comments were much appreciated. I will do my best to learn the technical side of the tools as quickly as possible, and will indeed implement them with caution until I'm fully familiar with how they work. Cheers, Ynhockey ^{( Talk)} 21:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. Also I saw the link and I just reverted vandalism a few seconds ago! Thanks! Reliableforever ( talk) 11:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for abusing my trust nice to know your a true friend. NOT!! 78.149.35.240 ( talk) 12:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I beg your pardon? PeterSymonds ( talk) 12:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Still lost. You might want to tell me which user you are. PeterSymonds ( talk) 12:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, I've figured it out. O hai WashingManwithwings. I'm sorry, but you had said the day before that you were creating another account the next day. Lo-and-behold, this new user turned up who seemed very experienced for a newbie. You lied to me by saying a steward had given you permission to return, so of course I reported it. You are globally locked for vandalism and sockpuppetry. PeterSymonds ( talk) 12:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Thats ok. I told you in the IRC not to. I will be back anyway. Also the account creation maybe blocked but I still have use of many computers so dont worry I will be back. 78.149.35.240 ( talk) 12:39, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Not my responsibility to lie on behalf of globally banned users, sorry. PeterSymonds ( talk) 12:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I take this opportunity to wish you a very happy birthday Peter. Take care, and enjoy your day! Thor Malmjursson ( talk) 00:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Wow, thank you! :) PeterSymonds ( talk) 00:26, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
