[edit] WikiProject Wisconsin
Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Wisconsin! I live near Chilton. I haven't forgotten the kicker either! I don't remember any other kicker rushing for a TD! Royalbroil T : C 06:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Manitowoc Reversion
I reverted your removal of a vandalized picture of downtown. It turns out a vandal uploaded a bad image over the top of an image that I had uploaded. I reverted the image and undid your image removal. I guess you should have checked out the image first this time. Anyhow, I have never seen this type of vandalism before. Thanks for watching for the vandalism! Royalbroil T : C 06:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Also, I see that you renamed the article Branch Blaze. I wonder how notable a baseball team from Branch could be. Is that a rec team? They should be at least semi-pro or they should be deleted. I could see writing an article on the unincorporated village of Branch, but not its rec baseball team. Royalbroil T : C 06:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New Page Patrol
Great work you are doing on NPP. Rettetast 22:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- I echo what Rettetast said. I've been going through CAT:CSD tonight and have deleted several pages that you tagged. Great job! --BigDT 06:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Haha
This David Slava article business is highly entertaining. Good work on keeping a cool head! riana_dzasta 01:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] David "Slava" Axe
I didn't create the article, and it was already being speedy deleted.... what's the harm? Juppiter 04:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Edit summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. RHB Talk - Edits 22:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Substing
Hello. Please substitute your warnings when warning vandals by simply adding "subst:" to the template. E.g. {{subst:uw-vandalism1}} instead of just {{uw-vandalism1}}. Doing so will place the contents of the template in the talk page instead of just transcluding the template. Thank you and keep up the good work. Regards, Húsönd 04:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for protecting my userpage
I stepped out to report the vandal. He got blocked indefinitely for his efforts. Morenooso 04:53, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spam on artist boards
I warned the user, if they continue, report them again and they will be blocked. TimVickers 01:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Arcade creek project
Hi, you tagged this article as patent nonsense. It doesn't fit that description. It's just a non-notable group project, so I've changed the tag to {{db-bio}}. Try to find the most appropriate tag in the future. Thanks. Leebo86 04:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] substing warnings
When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:uw-test1}} instead of {{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. MKoltnow 04:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Martin Luther edit
Thanks for catching my screw-up. I was just undoing my mistake when you caught it.

[edit] Steven Avery
Why did you remove the information by 66.168.6.93 on the Steven Avery article? That statement was true! Tom70 00:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Annie Mail
Hi. You recently tagged this article for speedy deletion under A7 - notability not asserted. As the article does assert notability (although it doesn't source it), I have removed the speedy tag. If you still think this article should be deleted, please consider proposed deletion or the articles for deletion process. Thanks! Natalie 20:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hi from JackofOz
Hi, ChesterMarcol. Re your question on the Ref Desk about telegram "stop"s, it really interests and intrigues me that you thought they occurred at random times. I'd love to know more about your educational background - seriously.
I should explain. I went to primary school in the mid 50s to early 60s (I'm 56 now), and it was instinctive to my generation that the "stops" corresponded with periods (we still call them "full stops" in Australia), and marked the end of a sentence. When I was at school, I never heard of anyone having any problem understanding this, but I don't recall it ever being explicitly taught; it was just, well, obvious. However, my opinion of primary and secondary education has been steadily diminishing over the years, as I see more and more highly intelligent people having all kinds of what I would have thought were basic problems, the sorts of things that in my opinion should be taught at a young age (but obviously aren't any longer). And I see them demonstrating only a rudimentary knowledge of the basic building blocks of written language, what with run-on sentences, comma splices, total lack of capitalisation, horrendous spelling, and a host of other problems. I hasten to add that nothing like that was evident in your question. I'm trying to do some work in the educational field, helping teenagers and young adults with these sorts of issues. Hence this message. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers -- JackofOz 13:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, CM. You're obviously in "a class of your own" :). It seems not all is lost, when a young person like you can write a paragraph or two that equal my own lofty standards. I hope you enjoy your experience with Wikipedia. I'm here for the long haul. Cheers -- JackofOz 22:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lutheranism
The WikiProject Lutheranism Collaboration Project is under way. Please help improve this month's article, or make a suggestion for next month's article. To add the collaboration banner to your userpage or talk page, use {{Lutheran COTM}}. -- Pastordavid 20:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Edit to Brewers roster
Hi ... I see you deleted Greg Aquino from the Brewers roster page (and proudly so ... lol) and moved Spurling from the extended roster to the active roster. Aquino really should have been moved to the extended roster since he's still on their 40-man roster. Accordingly, I've put his name back on the page, but thought I'd leave you a note of explanation and for future reference. Thanks for your contributions. --Sanfranman59 08:17, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Seeking community input re standardizing baseball roster pages
Hi ... I'm leaving you this note because you recently made edits to one of the Major League Baseball roster pages. I've made a proposal for standardizing the format, structure and content of these pages here and would appreciate your input so that we may reach a consensus. Thanks. --Sanfranman59 06:38, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
I reverted your addition of Dahmer to category:people from Wisconsin, since he's already in category:people from Milwaukee. As with all categories, if somebody is in a category which is a subset of a broader category, then they don't get put in the broader category. Thus, Milwaukee's own Stanley G. Weinbaum doesn't go in category:science fiction writers, because he is in category:American science fiction writers. (I messed up on this one myself a time or two, before I caught on to what I call the nested-category system.) --Orange Mike 13:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
