[edit] Thanks!

I'm new to this Wiki stuff. Suppose I just edit this page to talk to you. Just wanted to say thanks for you formatting on Kesternich. Looks really great with your help!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom macknight (talk • contribs) 20:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for comment

Can you comment on a change made by Nyttend on the Sheridan, Wyoming article? I asked him what he meant by "excessive links"; but' he(she) has not responded.Thx DutchTower 03:24, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll see if I can help. To further the Wikipedia goal of not being a directory, most editors use the external link guidelines to help determine which external links are suitable, and which are not. Specifically, we want to try to limit the external links to those articles that are best suited to teaching the reader more about the subject, while trying to keep away from commercial websites (for obvious reasons). The guideline I generally use is the first: Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article.. I don't want to speak for Nyttend, but that is probably their motivation as well.... Hopefully this helps. I'll go ahead and fix up the article. Thanks. - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 15:14, 6 October 2007 (UTC)(snipped)
Thanks for the pointers. I have apologized to Nyttend. thanks again DutchTower 00:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Austen Lennon

Gosh but this ain't easy. Austen Lennon page. I think I have put on links references the way that they should be but I don't know and if I have should I remove the messages at the top myself or do I get shot at dawn for doing that?. Help please. I can't even figure out how to put my signature on..... groan.

[edit] re: Shell Creek

I appreciate the comments on Shell Creek. This is a new hobby for me. I have plans to improve this article; I just wanted to get it out there. I also think Shell Canyon should be part of this article instead of one of its own. Whaddaya think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dutchtower (talk • contribs) 00:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rock Springs massacre

Hey there CosmicPenguin. Since it has been about three months since Rock Springs massacre was featured, I am planning on going through it again to see if I missed anything, checking prose for brilliantness etc, if you would be so kind as to take a look when you have time, and make any changes you see that are needed it would be most appreciated.

[edit] Oops!

Definately not intentional, thanks for telling me, I'll add it to the bottom, correct? Phgao 02:45, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Can you please check if this is correct [1]. Thanks. Phgao 02:46, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Lol, I use an AMD processor as well... though I bought it a few weeks before the new intel duals came out. Bummer. Phgao 02:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah I actually found the written stuff somewhere, and then found the purple box thing somewhere else and thought it would look good together. Phgao 02:48, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Coxon Fund and The Next Time (short story)

You're right, thanks for fixing that.Zigzig20s 02:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


yeah so what.New4321 18:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EA

Thanks for fixing up my Wiluna article. It s only my second one, still learning. Also, my spelling isn t that great, english is only my second language. Ever been to Wiluna? —Preceding unsigned comment added by EA210269 (talk • contribs) 01:39, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why Others and Not This One

Hey, my article for NX Fusion gaming PC's is being deleted. Why is it thatAlienware or dell or hp can have a page, but not The NX Fusion brand? Please let me know. Thanks.

Ok, i understand, but when will an article for NX Fusion be able to be created. What exactly has to happen for an article on them to be approved? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AA7HBS (talk • contribs) 02:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Got it, thanks for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AA7HBS (talk • contribs) 02:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Montreal Roadrunners

Sorry if I used the wrong tag for the Speedy Delete. I don't have a problem with you fixing it if you know a better one. Perhaps that is asking too much as you are not in favour of the deletion. Is it really true that the encyclopedia deems league teams in any city, in any sport, even roller ball, to be worthy of note? This entry didn't say what sport was involved. I don't have strong personal feelings about this. It just seemed very little said about very little. I suspect the logo is not free use, though I did not tag it. Perhaps I should just stay away from sports. :-) Bielle 04:07, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Casper Ghosts

Just a recommendation, don't be so quick to rush to judgment. There's already too much of that on this site. Anyway, I think it would be a lot cooler if they called themselves the Wyoming Rockies. It utilizes the parent club's name as a homage, but it fits the state of Wyoming just as equally.

Also, if you're a fan of the Ghosts, here's a user box:

[edit] Would you MIND???

I'm actively working on the %&#@Y& article, and really wish you'd chill the F out, slow the F down, and at least leave me a few minutes to get stuff done before you go about costing me 2 pages of original content via an editorial conflict because you couldnt' F-ing wait to get your mitts into things. I REALLY don't appreciate this sort of interference, nor wasting my efforts.

[edit] Lynchburg, Virginia merge

The article John Lynch (1740-1820) has already been deleted. It was a complete copyright violation. See Talk:Lynchburg,_Virginia#Merge for the link in case you still want to use the article. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:27, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Cyrus (Film) deletion

I have deleted your tag out of the article. and I wanted to let you know that it is not fair to tag an article for deletion when you didn't understand the or didn't fully read the article. The external link to that documentary didn't have anything to do with the movie Cyrus (which is does not have release date set yet). It was only mentioned there as a form a reference that this project exist and it is confirmed by someone else. I'm not sure whether videos are considered to be a reference so I put it under external links.

so for your purpose I have taken out that reference so you can't assume it was to gain any support or donation or fund to that person who made that documentary. 19:12, 16 November 2007 Zirnevis

[edit] Bittangbee Bay, NSW, Australia

Hi CosmicPenguin, Thanks for your help. I'm a newbie wikipedia contributor. I'm in the middle of editting this page. How do I flag this? I'd like to be able to fix it up before someone else comes in and does their fixes? Adam

[edit] Blackstrap Ski Hill

Thanks. But I didn't create the page, I simply added it to the Saskatchewan Wikiproject. Icedteapitcher is the person you need to direct this message to. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 03:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cislo & Thomas LLP

Hello CosmicPenguin,

I wanted ask to see if you could check over the entry regarding Cislo & Thomas LLP. I understand how it looked like a blatant advertisement in the beginning, but i'm doing what i can to make sure it is a successful addition to Wikipedia. I want people to know the firms history and clients, but obviously within the limits of allowances by wikipedia. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

Cislo (talk) 06:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)Cislo

[edit] Where is my page!!!!?

I can't find my page that i was working on for hours? Is it deleted? Is there any way that i can find it and get another shot to revise the page?

Please let me know as soon as possible,

[edit] copyvio on clipper ship article

i'm moving your comment to the talk page of the contributor. i only copied it from List of clipper ships to a new article. Brianhe (talk) 05:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confounded mountains!

Dear CosmicPenguin,

Yes, I believe you may be correct. I may very well have confounded the Owl Creek Mountains with the Medicine Bow.

Sadly, some of the resources upon which I once depended have been removed from the online presence of, e.g., the Texas state archive. I have attempted to remedy the lacunae through private inquiries to them, and various others (UT map department, etc.) and shall endeavour to set this matter to rights as promptly as possible.

Unfortunately, my own Google fu is not yielding anything of an official nature. I shall, meanwhile, remove the edit from the Owl Creek Mountains pending further discovery.

Regards,

Jim —Preceding unsigned comment added by Planetaryjim (talk • contribs) 03:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SD question

hello, I was just getting ready to put G2 as the reason for "Marco Candelaria". would that have worked as a reason too, or not? Ctjf83 talk 04:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok, that would have been the first time I did a SD and wanted to make sure I did it right. thank you! Ctjf83 talk 19:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References on the Shoshone page

Hello CosmicPenguin. I noticed that you had done a lot of work to protect the Shoshone page from the absurd amount of vandalism it has received. Now someone has removed the references from the page, and it is buried in lots of other changes. Personally, I'm not sure what to do in cases like this, so I'm hereby requesting your aid in restoring them. Satyriasis (talk) 09:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for responding so quickly. I probably should find out how to fix things like that myself, but I've been mostly using Wikipedia for the information so far. :) Satyriasis (talk) 18:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Loye and Alden Miller Research Award

Hi CosmicPenguin - thanks for removing the copyvio tag and explaining the situation.Maias (talk) 04:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wyoming

I just assumed the Wyoming borders were aligned with the latitude (looking at low-res maps). You probably know far more about this than I do. Admittedly, I just copied the (unsourced, shame on me) information from Colorado#Geography. User:Dorftrottel 05:46, January 30, 2008

Reverted myself for now. User:Dorftrottel 05:48, January 30, 2008


[edit] Tug of War Athletes

Yes I think we can skip this category as it is not needed. Gh (talk) 08:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recreated article

Hi. An article that is substantially identical to one that was deleted in a valid AfD can be speedily deleted under WP:CSD#G4. Specifically:

Recreation of deleted material. A copy, by any title, of a page deleted via a deletion discussion, provided the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted. This does not apply to content that has been moved to user space, undeleted via deletion review, deleted via proposed deletion, or to speedy deletions (although in that case, the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply).

In the future, you can request deletion of such articles using Template:Db-repost. Cheers, TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations

The Original Barnstar
I've been watching your edits, specifically related to Wyoming, and I'd like to congratulate you on a job well done. Wikipedia needs more good editors like yourself. Again, congratulations, you've earned it. Keep up the good work. Milonica (talk) 06:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Norris, Madison, and Fishing Bridge Museums

Thanks for your comment that perhaps the 3 separate museum articles ought to be merged into the one article about all 3. I guess I agree, but I didn't want to make an abrupt change to the articles, which I had never visited before 2 days ago, and who knows who feels great ownership over the articles. So I did put merger proposal tags on all four of the articles, and if there are not objections, the mergers can be done in a while. Thanks! doncram (talk) 07:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Laramie

Thanks for the note. Of the four people, all were red links, including Frison, who was listed simply as "George Frison". I've not looked at the ambassadors notability criteria, so I didn't remember that they were inherently notable. Thanks for the note! Nyttend (talk) 00:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
