[edit] AfD nomination of Alycia Lane

An editor has nominated Alycia Lane, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alycia Lane (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Films coordinator elections

[edit] Re: congratulation

Thank you for your kind message! I actually quite enjoy translating, but I'm quite busy at the moment, so I don't get to do very much of it. Thanks again... random kindness is one of the things which makes Wikipedia such a great place. Cricketgirl (talk) 12:11, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vienna State Opera

Hi and thanks for your work on this. However I'm a bit concerned that we may be guilty of WP:Listcruft here. Almost every important singer of the past 100 years has worked in Vienna. Is there some way we can restrict the list to singers with a special connection to Vienna? Thanks. --Kleinzach (talk) 02:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. that all sounds very sensible and I look forward to working with you on the article when you have time. Best. --Kleinzach (talk) 03:09, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Nazi Germany

Hi. You are right. I did intend to delete the entire comment, I think I used rollback by mistake! Thanks for finding and correcting it. Greetings TINYMARK 04:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! --Catgut (talk) 04:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About Gisele Bündchen

Hi Catgut, you asked me about her over a week ago. For the record, I did respond, but I responded on my talk page. Thanks. Acalamari 22:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Thx for the message! --Catgut (talk) 04:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What in blazes are you doing to our talkpage?!

Why are you vandalizing our talk page like that?! We are a public college and do not appreciate being labeled as cyber vandals! 66.99.216.2 (talk) 21:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

This is not your talk page. If you'd like to have a talk page of your own, then become a registered user. It is not possible to remove earlier warnings from an IP's talk page. Thanks for your cooperation. And take a look at the edits attributed to your IP! --Catgut (talk) 21:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talkpage!CrazyChemGuy (talk) 02:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Please cease modifications to the talk page of this IP address. It achieves very little. I think you know which one I mean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.24.14 (talk • contribs)

Thanks for your message, but this advice is unnecessary. Warning templates are not to be removed from IP talk pages, not even by an IP, as IPs do not own their talk pages. If you'd like to have a talk page completely of your own, you have to create an account. --Catgut (talk) 04:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I've replied at Talk:Natascha_Kampusch#merge. Dorftrottel (criticise) 07:18, May 2, 2008

Thank you for notifying me. But I've said all I wanted to say, so I don't feel the urge to further participate in the discussion. --Catgut (talk) 17:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WOW!!!

How did I vandalize the discussion on the desperate housewives episode! All I did was say that editing wikipedia is not for everyone and that some people just use wikipedia to find information! This is Unbelievable! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.96.86.112 (talk) 19:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, talk pages are to be used for discussing the respective article, not for commenting on Wikipedia policies etc. --Catgut (talk) 19:48, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Donny Long

Thanks for the reverts. I know who "Jeremy Steele is. He was having a goof, but he's promised to knock it off. Donnylobg, unfortunately, really IS Donny Long, and seems Hell-Bent on hiding his own comments while vandalizing the Christian XXX page.

I am in the process of finding wiki-acceptable sources for Long's REAL criminal record. I expect much revision and counter-revision then. James W. Ballantine (talk) 01:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Just a reminder that WP:BLP states that "The use of inflammatory edit summaries or vandalism-related talk-page templates should be avoided" when dealing with the subject of the article who partially blanks his biography. Considering the subject is attempting to correct or blank a contentious portion that was not properly sourced to a reliable source; this does not constitute vandalism, and your warning was inappropriate.

[edit] Barnstar

		The Original Barnstar
		For your array of edits and tireless efforts, I award Catgut this Original Barnstar. --Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (talk)

Thank you for the barnstar! If you ever go for RFA, I'll put in a good word for you (though I am not an admin myself). Cheers ! DarkZorro 15:04, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you please write a plot summary for this article? Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 08:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately I haven't seen it, nor am I in possession of any usable source, so I can't do it. Sorry! --Catgut (talk) 23:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

For fixing the vandalism on my user page :) TallNapoleon (talk) 11:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trying to embed image

Hi Catgut, Thanks for your note, but I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to embed images in the webpage for the 272nd Infantry Division (Germany). I would delete it but I don't know how to do that either! As for copyright issues, I don't know where to begin on this particular one - the Pferdekopf image at issue here was the WWII tactical symbol of a German infantry division - so I don't know if copyright issues even apply here. Please advise, as I've no idea as to how to go about this - Thanks much! Regards, Doug Nash —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Nash (talk • contribs) 11:26, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for asking me, but I guess you have been helped in the meantime! --Catgut (talk) 23:27, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting

Are you a bot? No seriously, you keep beating me to reverts, and revert page blanks quicker than ClueBot, how do you do it? Keep up the great work. Sunderland06 (talk) 03:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for the nice words! I don't know whether I'm really that fast or not, but in case I am, I owe it to this great tool. It's very helpful. I'd recommend it to you! --Catgut (talk) 03:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah you are very fast, and I do use huggle, its great. Sunderland06 (talk) 21:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I had a certain suspicion...:-)) Best regards! --Catgut (talk) 22:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] question about your use of onesource template

I was looking through Foreign relations of Italy and noticed that one section (which obviously needs more sources) has the label {{onesource}} which you put there. On Template:Onesource#Usage it states that this is for citations in an article or section that may be "inappropriate or misinterpreted". The one source that is in the section does not seem to be misinterpreted, so I was wondering why you used that template instead of {{refimprove}} or something else similar. I have asked a related question on Wikipedia talk:Template messages and have not received any response, so maybe you could shed light on it as well. Thanks Mathman1550 (talk) 15:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I'd like to thank you for restoring my talk page!
Regarding Foreign relations of Italy. I've checked it again, and if I haven't overlooked anything, the template regards the section dealing with relations to Israel. There's just one source for the section, and that's the homepage of Italy's embassy in Israel. The text was merely a copy of what I found on the homepage. I don't know whether or not that has changed since February. Probably not. So I used the template in the way I thought was appropriate. Of course I may have been wrong, on the other hand the template's short text seems quite clear! But you're right, too! Well, in case you think that another template was more suitable, go for it! Best regards, --Catgut (talk) 00:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] May 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Kunta Kinte has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. · AndonicO ^Engage. 03:14, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Ouch, sorry. :/ Aren't you on the huggle whitelist, though? This shouldn't happen... · AndonicO ^Engage. 03:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I assumed you used huggle (fast reverting ;) ); this bug happened once before... hope it was just a single incident in your case, though. · AndonicO ^Engage. 03:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Ditto. Cheers, · AndonicO ^Engage. 03:34, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GTA The Trilogy

Oh sorry for doing vandalism on GTA The Trilogy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Australiaaz (talk • contribs) 05:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Next time you wish to propose an article's deletion, please do not remove all of its content. Because this is always considered vandalism. Good luck! --Catgut (talk) 07:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mickey Mantle

That IP address, or whatever it was, had a goofy way of putting it, but Mantle was in fact seriously injured on a fly ball during the 1951 World Series. Coming toward center from right field, he tripped on a drain cover and messed up his knee, as center fielder DiMaggio made the catch. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 01:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

This obit talks about it, among many other sources. [1] Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 01:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

It happened in Game 2, and was indeed on a fly hit by Mays. [2] Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 01:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Right, thanks for your message and providing these sources, great work! --Catgut (talk) 01:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Gonna insert that later! Thanks again! --Catgut (talk) 01:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead. I think the IP, in a clumsy way, was trying to point out (as the obit states) how significant this injury was to Mantle's career, which was injury-prone in general. I'm not sure the article talks about that enough. The Mick overcame a lot and achieved a lot. It's an interesting coincidence that the 1951 injury came on a Mays fly, as the two men were often subject of debate as to which was the greatest player of their generation, and believe me, it's a tough call. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 01:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, don't you want to put that into the article yourself? I mean, you really know what you're talking about! I'm impressed! Cheers, --Catgut (talk) 01:58, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

It kind of opens a can of worms, but I'll give it a try. I'll revert the reversion of the IP address comments, except I'll rewrite them in English. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 02:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Silly me, it's already in the article, under "Injuries". I missed it somehow. Hey, that was easy! :) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 02:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Great! I didn't see that either! --Catgut (talk) 02:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
