[edit] Ringgold Street

Hey Stax, I saw a street in my hometown today called Ringgold and thought of ya. Just wondering how things are going with Cheers and what help you need. I'd be glad to do a copyedit later tonight, or whatever. By the way, have you seen the new reference style at Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven)? I hope to be adding it to The West Wing article soon. Let me know what you need. I am very very much in debt to you for all of your help on The West Wing FAC. — Scm83x ^talk 00:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

P.S. - What do you think of my new signature? — Scm83x ^talk 00:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I completed part of the copyedit; I just have post-Cheers to go. I'm sorry it took so long. For some reason I have trouble finding time to Wiki when I'm at home, as opposed to at school. Let me know when you're ready for FAC, I'll try to be as much of a help as you were to me. — Scm83x ^talk 21:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of the Aisne

You recently blanked this page, on checking ready for cleanup, I noticed that there are 20 or so links to that page, so I have reverted it back to its previous incarnation. Also I think a search on the page name is appropriate, rather than having to enter first,second, third etc. MNewnham 22:04, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheers and List of Eagle Scouts

Thanks for two things: the vote on History of merit badges (Boy Scouts of America) and the prompt fix of the Cheers reference. I changed my vote to support for Cheers. Speaking of refs, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I've been working on the refs for List of Eagle Scouts for almost two hours. I got the caret, a, b part to work, but can not get it to number sequentially in the footnotes section; despite the fact they number correctly in the text section. Would you consider looking at this and seeing if it's fixable? I'm sure there's a way, I just haven't figured it out. I was working this when the new msg alert popped up for your msg. Rlevse 18:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

The article I was working on just now was the List of Eagle Scouts one. It has 3 multiple refs that are close in the text. There is only one ref before it and none after it (right now at least). The MB article has multiple refs (but different pages), so I hadn't touched those.Rlevse 18:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I knew it was going to be something simple (just a line between the footnotes, huh?). Would you be interested in the Scouting article improvement we're starting on? If so, add yourself to the "Interested Wikipedians" section of: User_talk:Gadget850/BSA_article_improvements And anyone else that you many know of. Rlevse 18:56, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheers inline citations

Sometimes I think I pay too much attention to detail, but I'd like to know if you would mind if I change the inline citations in Cheers so that they appear after punctuation, for example,^[1] like this.^[2] A minor issue, but one that bothers me for some reason. I don't think that it's formally stated anywhere as an expectation, but it seems that this is generally the way it is done. I thought I'd check with you first though before making the change. --Spangineer (háblame) 17:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The book you requested

I have the book you requested: Toasting Cheers. I sent you an email last night, but I guess you didn't get it. Jump on AIM if you can. — Scm83x ^talk 17:15, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stargate Templates

I would like to inform you there's an active debate on Stargate Templates going on here and I would like to hear your input. -b 19:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] McEwen

Thanks for your comments on my FAC for Bob McEwen. I've added the footnotes as you suggested and I'd be grateful for your vote of support. PedanticallySpeaking 17:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I guess I should read! I didn't see that you had already voted support, for which I say thank you. PedanticallySpeaking 17:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheers

Sorry, you got me right at the end of the weekend, now at work. Will try to get to this tonight. Gotta go. Talk soon. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheers for Cheers!

In recognition of your persistence and commitment to improving Cheers, I, Scm83x, hereby award you this Barnstar of High Culture.

Congratulations on your successful nomination of Cheers to featured article status. I am happy to be the first one to congratulate you, and also the first person to award you a barnstar. Certainly both are extremely well-deserved. May both be the first in a long line of the same. I look forward to working with you in the future, as always. Congratulations, James. — Scm83x ^talk 09:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! — Rebelguys2 ^talk 09:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah man, congratulations! And thanks for the beer!--Cuchullain 20:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

With your vote of support, the Bob McEwen article was made a featured article this morning. Thanks for your vote. PedanticallySpeaking 16:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:KiranaGharanaTree1.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:KiranaGharanaTree1.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 06:37, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hopkins School

I can definitely help you out with the article. My alma maters's article, Plano Senior High School, is currently the featured article of the month at the Portal, so I guess Harro5 (talk • contribs) thinks I know a thing or two about editing school article ;-). I'd be glad to help this weekend, after homework and career fair. How is the college application process going, btw? — Scm83x ^talk 04:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, James. I know I still have to get around to that copyedit of the Hopkins article, but I wanted to give you this little gem that I found here. Apparently, we've written the best US high school articles on Wikipedia. Congratulations! I'll do the copyedit this weekend, now that tests are done. — Scm83x ^talk 11:13, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheers lead

Just noticed that the Cheers article is up over 30k characters, which means you should probably break the lead section into 3 paragraphs. Let me know if you want me to take a look at it once you're done. Thanks. — Scm83x ^talk 19:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hopkins PR

Greetings, Stax!
I've looked at the Hopkins School article and posted comments on the peer review page. I probably come off sounding very harsh there, but I don't mean to be. I've gotten a number of my articles through this process (e.g. Katie Holmes, Tom Brinkman, Helen Gandy) so I'd like to think I'm familiar with the usual objections there. You have a very solid foundation for a FA, its just not there yet. Let me know if I can help again. PedanticallySpeaking 17:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 24

For future reference, when I created the 24 character infotables, I modeled them after the James Bond infotables. That is why dead villains are listed as "Terminated" while everyone else is listed as "Deceased" - User:Simon Beavis

[edit] Images

Hi there - unfortunately, the 'fair use' fencing images in your personal gallery will have to be deleted unless they are used in an article. Also, someone has listed the remaining images in your gallery at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images since your 'permission required' terms are not compatible with Wikipedia. (see {{permission}}) You need to release the images under a free license or they will have to be deleted. If you have any questions about this, please contact me. -SCEhardT 03:50, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

While editing the page for Rachel Sterling, I clicked on the pic to see it's copyright status. While there I noticed that you said it was a promotional image of Rachel Stevens in your edit summary.
