[edit] Loyola Seal
Personally, I find the logo more visually appealing. That's really the only reason I changed it. I agree the image was a bit big, but it could have been worse - the original was 1500px wide!
Anyway, I think that the seal image is too "crowded" and color-ridden -- see MIT for what I think is a good example of using a seal in a college's WP entry. The logo was obviously designed for four-color printing and instant identification, and I think it reads better on a computer screen. Plus, since Publications slaps it on anything and everything Loyola, it's a bit more recognized in that form. There's no real standard, though; Hofstra University uses the logo, MIT uses the seal AND the logo, Harvard University uses the shield, and Cooper Union uses a picture of the main building.
Interesting and somewhat related tidbit: they scraped the evergreens off the windows of the student center this semester and replaced them with Loyola logos. Seems like they're really focused on branding. --DCrazy talk/contrib 02:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Father mcginnisburg
Well, an admin finally found it and deleted it (perhaps because I accidentally posted a warning on Iron's user page instead of his talk page). If a user keeps removing a deletion tag, just post related warning messages from Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace (eg. {{drmspeedy}}, {{drmafd}}). After the "final" warning, post on WP:AIV. — TheKMantalk 01:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, in the end I wound up just posting a notice on the administrator's noticeboard Liamdaly620 01:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Hah, that's neat. Thanks! --DCrazy talk/contrib 00:22, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Great work!!
Hi, it is great to see you fight vandalism left, right and center! May I also request you to place appropriate {{test}} messages on the talk page of the vandalising users? btw, I found your vandalism section about League of nations amusing - you may want to move it to WP:BJAODN. --Gurubrahma 06:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome and thanks!
Thank you for your vandal fighting work, and selfishly especially your reversion of my user page. It's nice to know that RC patrol still works without me ;-) (tries to look important and needed). It seems you haven't been officially welcomed yet so below you will find my standard welcome note:
welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are some tips:
- Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
- Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
- Learn how Articles for deletion works.
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board.
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button.
- Provide an Edit summary.
- Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
- Create a User page.
- Be bold.
- Ignore all rules.
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes(~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Again, welcome! —WAvegetarian•CONTRIBUTIONSTALK• EMAIL• 07:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please sign
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to the Gugliermo Scortella article! Please sign and date your warning notices with ~~~~ so that others looking into vandalism can easily discern the user's history of having been warned. Thanks again for being one of the good guys! --Kbh3rdtalk 06:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Another godmode light
Hi, I saw your query on User_talk:Sam_Hocevar:
Please wait, reverting edits by undefined... Getting article history (/w/index.php?title=Awesome&action=history&limit=50)... Error: Last editor is 24.92.249.34, not undefined!
I am guessing that you are also running Lupin's popups.js. This is a problem I had a while back, and there seems to be a conflict between the two scripts. A popups friendly alternative is available :-) Although I am surprised you have had it working at all recently, it seems to have been broken for me for some time.
Anyway, you could try this: in your monobook.js, substitute:
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://sam.zoy.org/wikipedia/godmode-light.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');
with
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://share.zopatista.com/WikiPedia/godmode-light.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');
Hope that helps, if not, let me know as I have a local version that is popups friendly and more up to date than the share.zopatista.com version. --Cactus.man ✍ 10:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thank you for reverting vandalism to my user page yesterday! Mushroom 14:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for removing vandalism on my user page
Thank you for removing vandalism on my user page. That guy should be blocked, as he is extremely unfriendly as you saw. How can I frame a motion like that? Cheers cun 19:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for reverting vandalism to mine too. And for the second time in two days! Mushroom 00:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for being consistant on the reverts on my user page. On another note, I think I started a trend with the spoof new messages box and the "haha" page. :-D — Moe ε 21:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Popups reversions
Be careful about using the popups as you were reverting to the wrong version in Gorilla. Happy editing!--Adam (talk) 01:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moved from user page
Sorry Liam, I will begin reverting the Northern Michigan University website back, Im sorry that I and much of the student body have been using this page as an outlet for our frustration with the university. Or frustrations and actions are not without merit, but I see that this is not the place to unleash them. once again and most importantly I am sorry for using this as a way to contact u but I am not a registered user.

I see some of your favorite edits Liam. Very nice......very nice and your abiltiy to appreciate humor shines through.

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome to VandalProof!
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Liamdaly620! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other moderator, or you can post a message on the discussion page. AmiDaniel (Talk) 04:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oratory
No problem, I thought it would be good to have an Oratory page. Did you graduate from Oratory? I go there now. I didn't write that it is an Oratorian School, but I left it in because I didn't know. --the Dannycas 15:27, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Yea, there's been a ridiculous turnover of teachers the past two years. Only a handful are still left from when I started here.--the Dannycas 19:03, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:51, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject LGBT studies
Hello! I noticed that your userpage mentions that you are interested in LGBT issues. Would you be interested in joining WikiProject LGBT studies? The WikiProject's been a bit inactive recently and some of us are trying to get it going again. We'd love to have you on board! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Salut, je vois sur ta présentation que tu parles français. J'ai lu ton commentaire à propos des photographies de Warbler sur commons... Il serait sympathique que tu nous fasses profiter des tiennes ;-) mangouste35
[edit] WP:CVU status
The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] Speedy deletion warning
A tag has been placed on Mike Daly, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ElKevbo 00:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
