Thanks for the cookie, and good luck for the editing :) Arsenikk ^(talk) 18:05, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

That's a lot of cookies, make mine a cookie with white chocolate! Thanks! -- [[ axg ⁞⁞ talk ]] 18:09, 2

So what's the difference? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 19:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, so that explains why I haven't gotten a barnstar after over a year of being on Wikipedia, I only go here to help, but don't waste hours on something particular on WP, thanks for explaining, too bad the cookie ain't edible. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 19:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Have a nice day, whoever you are. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 20:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:Userpage

I added it and I also added your logs, count, block log, etc. You should see it at the top. You can move it where you want. --RyRy5 (talk ♠ copy-edit) 22:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks LLAAF

Tasty snacks are a great reward. Thanks! Professor marginalia (talk) 00:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

I think it's time to get into some userscripts, How about you?WikiZorro^sign 00:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Userscripts are tools used to make tedious tasks easy! For example TW gives you a rollback as vandalism link on the newest diff in the history of a page. Then, It automatically brings up the talk page of the vandal, with a tab at the top of the screen that says "warn", where you can warn them on different levels. It's pretty cool.

WikiProject

You would make it under a Wikipedia: page. Such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Fluff-a-nutter. Please read this before creating it. If you need help please ask! For best results, to gain popularity, and to gain support propose your WikiProject Fluff-a-nutter here. Also, what is it? I am dying to know! WikiZorro^sign 23:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I wouldlike to know also. I'm guessing it's baseball related?--RyRy5 (talk) 23:53, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I knew it. I can help out.--RyRy5 (talk) 23:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay let's begin. Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago Cubs is where it should be.--RyRy5 (talk) 23:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm currently adding things to the page. I think you should create the assessment template now. Just copy the formatting from other projects and then relace them with our project, image, etc.--RyRy5 (talk) 00:33, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I think our member's list format should be a list, not a table. The actual table is really only used for WP:MLB. Do you mind if I change it?--RyRy5 (talk) 00:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:LAA updated

Hello. Since you are part of WP:LAA, you are recieving this message. I gave WP:LAA a new page design, formatting, and more. The project now has it's own request page. Feel free to request there. I also updated our to-do list. I hope you continue to be an active contributer to our project. Please add your opinion on our new revamp of our project at our discussion page. Thank you, from the founder, RyRy5 (talk) 03:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Awesome wikiproject!

		The Content Creativity Barnstar
		I WikiZorro, award you the Content Creativity Barnstar, for your great work as founder of Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago Cubs! Great job! WikiZorrosign 10:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Like the nav box and outline I made for WP:CUBS? WikiZorro^sign 15:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Just your friendly neighborhood Spiderman Zorro! WikiZorro^sign 15:49, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I can't seem to find the two barnstars, Wikizorro said he opted out. Is that why.--RyRy5 (talk) 15:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Mines still on the talk page... I think? WikiZorro^sign 20:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA

Not right now, thanks. My last RfA just crashed and burned two months ago; it's way too soon yet. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 19:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Tim Mensy

Thanks. I'll work on the page later; I've added an infobox and mention of the band Bandana (country band). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 19:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:CUBS barnstar

I don't know what's wrong with it... the code is identical between the two barnstars, and it's also identical to the code of Template:The Original Barnstar, which is where I borrowed the design. To be honest with you, I wish I could tell you more about it, but I'm realy new to barnstars; I just like to make the star graphics. WikiZorro might be able to help...

Policies/Templates

Hey LAA. If there's anything about Templates/Policies you can't find or can't understand, I would be delighted to help.WikiZorro^sign 15:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Old AFDs

There's no need to weigh in on closed AFD discussions (particularly those that are months old). Instead, it's fine to go ahead and remove the AFD template from the article and add the {{oldafdfull}} note to the talk page. These steps are outlined at [[Wikipedia:Deletion process#Articles_for_Deletion_page|]]. — Lomn 16:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:PHILLIES

Since you're helping with all the baseball WikiProjects, I figured I'd ask:

Please accept this invite to join WikiProject Philadelphia Phillies, a WikiProject dedicated to improving all articles related to the Philadelphia Phillies. We hope you can join and contribute greatly to the project.

redo cubs barnstar

Does this look more cubs-like, or is it too jazzed up? WikiZorro^sign 19:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Your recent WP:AfD !vote

Hello. I hope you can learn something from the following question: Why do you think I reverted this !vote? Take your time, no rush. --RyRy5 (talk) 00:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Just a note, Lomn already contacted him regarding this and told him what to do on the page. As far as why, I know not what he thinks. WikiZorro^sign 13:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:GA

I just skimmed through the article and there are lot's of problems with the article. 1) The article has templates (look at the two at the top) around it. It would quickly fail WP:GAN if there are templates added to it. 2) The lead is way too short. Try expanding that. 3) You need much more references for the article. Most GANs on average range to 30 - 50 references. Try adding to that. I would be glad to help you with these problems. And yes, the work you did to the article was great. I think you should work on finding more refs. That's a good start. I'll do some expanding and copyediting. Comments? --RyRy5 (talk) 00:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Nice to hear your working on articles. :) I guess I will do some copyediting now. --RyRy5 (talk) 03:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:CANVASS / WP:VOTE

LAAAF, I wanted to bring our guidelines on Wikipedia:Canvassing to your attention based on these recent edits. Per the guidelines, these messages are not neutral (and possibly not nonpartisan, though that's a murkier standard here). Particularly since the users in question found WWS after it was already nominated for deletion, they're aware of the topic anyway -- thus, there's no need to push the boundaries here. Of perhaps more concern, though, is your continued misunderstanding of "voting" at Wikipedia. To quote the relevant section:

Because the point of these processes is to form consensus, it is preferable that people explain their reasonings, respond to others and possibly compromise, rather than signing a one-word opinion and not looking back. Attempting to "vote stack" such processes are ineffective and potentially disruptive, and "votes" without reasoning may carry no weight in the final interpretation.

Similarly, encouraging people to fling "keeps" with reasons that boil down to WP:ILIKEIT is a similarly unimpressive practice. — Lomn 18:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikistory

OK, basically, its about me owning this big factory that makes userboxes and five characters go to my factory. I already have 2 so I'm happy for you to come. I will give you a barnstar if you wanna be in it. Remember, people are allowed to do anything but kill you, and also you are allowed a minimum of 3, and only 3 edits. OK, hope you like it.--Editor510 (talk) 15:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:PHILLIES question

A message to all members from the coordinator: Please stop by the project talk page and contribute to the discussion regarding the Wall of Fame. We would like to reach a consensus ASAP. Thank you. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
