[edit] J. R. Richard

I don't think you addressed any of my recent concerns.

[edit] Strong suggestion

Hi,

If you are going to run a script as a bot, I would like suggest that you create your own page i.e. User:Milk's Favorite Cookie/javascript conversion and then you can just the pieces of code that you understand to be robust. Lightmouse (talk) 13:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Great. Now can I just comment out or delete a few lines that I know will cause you problems? Lightmouse (talk) 13:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

OK. I have done some amendments now. I now strongly suggest that you do lots of pages as practice. Known issues include edits to quotes and edits to URL's. You will have to learn how to edit the script for yourself so that you can modify it. Lightmouse (talk) 13:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Have you considered a much less ambitious bot? You could pick one tiny thing to fix that is extremely unlikely to have false positives. Do a test run with 50 articles and review them carefully. Then apply for a bot licence. Once you are experienced you can expand your ambitions. Do the easy bits first. If you want, I can cut your code right down to some fixes where the false positive rate is much lower. Lightmouse (talk) 21:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lou Gehrig

I'll do a complete review as requested. I'm on the fence for a few things in the article. I'll put the article on hold. I asked for a second opinion as well.User:calbear22 (talk) 16:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)User:calbear22 (talk) 17:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Commented on article, see article talk page. Thanks.User:calbear22 (talk) 21:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Head Coach list promoted to feartured status

List of East Carolina Pirates head football coaches is rather enlightening. We should probably model the Pats one after this, and that could probably include removing the overbloated "history" section, most of which is redundant with information in the History of the New England Patriots article. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] reply

Oh, OK. I'll strike my cmt out and reword. RC-0722 247.5/1 20:02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Demetrio Vallejo

Milks, you appear to have nominated this article for DYK after it had already been DYKed, as a result of which I accidentally promoted it to the front page a second time. Could you please be more careful next time, by checking the discussion page of an article you want to nominate to ensure it doesn't already have a DYK? Thanks, Gatoclass (talk) 03:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK nom

Updated DYK query On 11 May 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Herring Buss, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] WP:LOTM

Congratulations on your recent WP:FL. In case you do not know, we are running an experiment to choose the List of the Month and Lists of the Day for June. Feel free to nominate your list at User:TonyTheTiger/List of the Day/Nominees/200807 for consideration next month to be the July LOTM or a LOTD. If you would like to support this experiment the most important thing you can do is come by and vote at User:TonyTheTiger/List of the Day/voting/200806. My talk page is always open.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Falcons FLC

Hi MFC, just a quick note to say that the FLC process is undergoing change and as such I've been elected one of two Featured List Directors. That means that I'll probably end up being responsible for making the ultimate decision on whether a list be promoted. I'll check your list again and my director colleague, User:Scorpion0422 will end up deciding on its promotion. I'll get back to you. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 5/11 DYK

Updated DYK query On 11 May 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Amy Evans, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
--Bedford 22:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My second new article

I've written another new article from scratch (Polish minority in Ireland) and also submitted it to DYK. Could you have a quick peek? I'm happy enough with it, but I'd like you to have a wee look. :-) Fribbler (talk) 23:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:DYK nom

I can't seem to find another hook with an inline citation. Any suggestions? -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 01:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the article suggestion. I nominated it. Also, can you find an image on Climate of North America that I am planning to self nom? There's a lot actually.

[edit] AFD Barnstar

If you are giving out the AfD Barnstar, I believe I qualify. I've been involved in both the discussions and in nominating articles for AfD consideration. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 02:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

What happened, the barnstar offer was withdrawn? Ecoleetage (talk) 02:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, 10 days passed between the initial inquiry and my cueing you. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WBOSITG's RfA

Hello Milk's Favorite Cookie, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in my RfA which was passed with a final tally of 114/10/4. I'm both shocked and honoured to gain so much support from users whom I admire and trust, and I hope I can avoid breaking that backing by being the best administrator I possibly can. I will take on board the opposition's comments and I hope to improve over the coming months and years. Once again, thank you! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

As predicted, this script, with no signature, is beginning to appear all over FAC and FLC, with no signature attached from the capper, meaning I have to delete them. Please remove the script. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello again. The Highly Active Users project has gone through a complete revamping per popular demand. We believe this new format will make it easier for new editors to find assistance. However, with the new format, I must again ask you to verify your information on this page.

[edit] Graphic design request

I'm looking for someone to create one of the 3 awards for a major competition I am preparing to run in 2 months at the AWC. (It'll be the largest collaboration I've ever attempted to coordinate on Wikipedia - larger than the TOTD, bigger than the Help system redesign, and even more involved than the Main Page redesign.)

I'd like you to take a crack at the top award. A trophy.

The trophy will be a MAJOR award, to be held by the current Wikipedia World Champion, until someone surpasses the record, at which time the trophy passes to him, and so on throughout the competition. When the competition is over, the reigning champion will get to keep it forever. I need the image of the trophy only - I'll write up and design the rest of the award. The trophy's background should be transparent.

The trophy needs to look IMPRESSIVE. Impressive enough for users to want to take from someone else, and impressive enough to want to defend it against all comers. One of a kind.

On the top of the trophy should be a globe, with the wikipedia globe superimposed upon it (so you can see both the continents and the puzzle pieces. If the globe is held up with 2 hands, or on the back of Atlas, that would be COOL.

The theme is World Development - the contestants will be building a 200+ page navigation aid to the subject of geography on Wikipedia. It will cover all the countries of the world. So the body and base of the trophy should be built around the theme of geography if at all possible.

What do you say?

Will you give it a shot?

If you can come up with a better (even more impressive) design than that described above, I'm totally open to it.

I need the trophy soon so I can begin generating interest in the contest.

I hope you take on this challenge.

I look forward to your reply.

The Transhumanist    06:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I would suggest you take it to Red Thunder, who's good an expert on Photoshop. I probably can make the trophy, but not a transparent background. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie ( talk / contribs) 21:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
The GIMP can do transparent backgrounds. Though you would probably be able to understand the program a hell of a lot faster than me. By the way it's free, and from what I've been told, extremely powerful. You'll probably find it useful for a great many things. The Transhumanist    22:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RFA thanks

Thanks for your support at my recent Request for adminship; it certainly gave me a smile to see a support vote there before I’d even had a chance to go back and make sure I’d transcluded it right! I hope you find I live up to your expectations. Best, Risker (talk) 13:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of Detroit Red Wings head coaches

Updated DYK query On 16 May 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of Detroit Red Wings head coaches, which you created or substantially expanded.

[edit] Pau Gasol Page

I've added some of the things you've requested, I still have to do some work with the citing. If you could take a look again and see what else I should do, if there isn't anything else, should I renominate it for GA? Gamloverks (talk) 19:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re-nomination of FLC

A few weeks ago you supported my nomination of the List of Pittsburgh Steelers head coaches for Featured List status. I think we both agree that it was removed from the FLC list too quickly. I have re-nominated the list, I would appreciate it if you could support it again. Thank you. Blackngold29 21:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thank-spam

Milk's Favorite Cookie, just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral. If there's something I've realized during my RFA process this last week, it's that adminship is primarily about trust. I will strive to honour that trust in my future interactions with the community. Many thanks! Gatoclass (talk) 06:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks heaps Milks, much appreciated. Oh and thankyou for your own contributions to DYK, I've noticed your noms have improved out of sight in recent weeks and it's helping create better updates. Keep up the good work! Gatoclass (talk) 07:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another award...

For another of the 3 awards under development, I used the Gimp to erase the globe and barnstar from this image, but I can't figure out how to turn the background transparent. Image:Globe stand.pngI know there's a way, but I couldn't understand the Gimp's instructions on how to do it.

Maybe it will make more sense to you.

Once transparent, a new globe could be inserted in the stand.  :)

The Transhumanist    09:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

It was easier than I thought. Using the GIMP, all you need to do is create an alpha layer, then select the areas of the original background you want to be transparent and simply delete them. The the transparency from the alpha layer will be all that's left as background. Like this...

Image:Globe stand with transparent background.png

Next, I found Image:Worldwind.png, extracted the Blue Marble, created a new layer in the globe stand image, and plopped the marble in...

Image:Blue Marble in stand.png

I don't know how it compares to Photoshop, but the GIMP is one powerful program.

Then, starting with this...

... I modified it a lot and then super-imposed the puzzle over the Blue Marble, using another layer, and adjusting the layer's opacity down, to get this:

Image:Blue Puzzle Marble in stand.png

Now all it needs is a passport.

I created this passport front cover, from scratch using the GIMP and Image:Wikipedia logo gold.png.

Image:Passport Wikipedia.png

Since we want to turn it, we need to give it pages, that is, depth, because passports have a thickness to them.

So, one thing we could do is replace the cover of an existing pic of a passport laying down with our new cover. This entails adding to the selected pic an alpha layer, clearing the white background (by selecting and clearing it - in the edit menu), and adding an additional layer for our cover. Then the size, perspective, and rotation of the new cover will need to be changed to fit over the old cover.

Image:Gov-us passport.jpg

Is this something you can do?

[edit] Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2008-03-09 List of countries by GDP per capita

What about your resolution? On 14 March you undertook a task to become a mediator for the case, but since then, i.e more than two months later, nothing happened (probably because the other party hasn't responded), while the status of case is still "open" just as you put it at the very beginning. On 14 May, i.e. exactly two months later, User:EconomistBR asked me on my talk page to speed things up. He thought that my position is more correct than the other party's, so he started a talk section on the article talk page, but thus far he has not received any responses. I recommended that he referred to you, but he told me that he preferred to wait 4 days so that if nobody responded on the article talk page then he would add back all the changes I requested. I again recommended that he referred to you, but - as you can infer from his response on my talk page - he wouldn't like to do that. So I decided to refer to you and ask for your advice: What do you recommend that we do in our case? How should we procede from here? Eliko (talk) 15:53, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to transfer useful free licensed images to Commons. Please be aware that the transfer bots are quite stupid (for example if the image is not an orignal to en:Wikipedia but was scanned or uploaded from elsewhere, the source information on the bot display will pretty much ALWAYS be WRONG; categories added can be nonsensical). As part of the transfer process, I suggest you take time to check and correct any misinformation and make sure categories are approprate. Thanks!

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Baseball Uniform.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Baseball Uniform.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep, I'll be over there right away! Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 18:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Starting to look better. I put a few more things to keep you busy, so when that's done just give me a shout. I am amazed that you have the patience to write all these lists. :D Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Ooh, if you get a chance, could you comment on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Maryland and Washington, D.C. hurricanes (1980–present)? Thanks in advance, Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 23:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Logo in skins

As noted here, my logo covers up the edit and such buttons on the top of my user- and user talk pages. Is there some way to fix this? Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 22:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Monobook

Your monobook is appearing in Category:Unassessed Boston Red Sox articles.   jj137 (talk) 23:37, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Didn't notice that. :| I think it was the metadatatest assessment script, and since I have no idea how to fix it without breaking the script, I just uninstalled mine.   jj137 (talk) 23:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Same here.   jj137 (talk) 23:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Try out the script now.   jj137 (talk) 00:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I tested it on mine and it works... maybe it's just because you have a million things in your monobook :)   jj137 (talk) 01:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Anna Jean Ayres

A tag has been placed on Anna Jean Ayres requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Mdsummermsw (talk) 15:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Harold W. Dodds

In response to your post on Award Center, I have made five major edits to the article on Harold W. Dobbs. If you feel that they don't meet your standards, please indicate it on my talk page and I can try to continue to try to improve it, although I've become interested in the Harold Dobbs and would probably do so anyway. Thanks! --Qmwne235 01:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar! --Qmwne235 01:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of San Francisco 49ers head coaches

Updated DYK query On 29 May 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of San Francisco 49ers head coaches, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Hidden profile

Someone told me that you were the user who told them how to hide their user page from vandals... I was wondering how you do that? John72592 (talk) 15:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lists with small scopes

I've opened a discussion at WT:FLC#Nominations of lists with small scopes regarding the Head coaches lists. Feel free to join in. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 08:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of Boston Celtics head coaches

I think this article is redundant, as a table of the coaches already exists on the main article. I have created it a long time ago. ● 8~Hype @ 09:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Script

Thanks :)

On the last script, I was able to use some Regex/find-and-replace to make things go faster, but since all of the names/colleges are different, I'm a bit stuck. I'll probably do some "research" (look at other scripts) to get some ideas.   jj137 (talk) 02:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Response

You were not giving any indication in the FLC that you were actively addressing concerns, so I assumed you were not. If you are going to complain every time I fail one of the FLCs you are involved in, then I'm just going to leave them to Rambling Man. -- Scorpion0422 15:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

You had several days (and several weeks before that), which is more than enough time. -- Scorpion0422 15:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi MFC,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Victoria Crater, Cape Verde-Mars.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on June 9, 2008. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2008-06-09. howcheng {chat} 22:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Back to the drawing board

It appears the globe stand I was using was from a copyrighted image.

This means I'm back to square one.

I need to either find another globe stand, or come up with a new idea altogether for the "Wikipedia World Traveler" award.

I look forward to any ideas you might have.

[edit] List of Buffalo Sabres head coaches

Hi MFC, the FLC for List of Buffalo Sabres head coaches is getting a little long in the tooth now and you asked a while ago not to close it while you were working on it. Can you let me (or Scorpion0422) know where you are with it so either of us can make a final (if appropriate) assessment for promotion or otherwise? Hope you're well, cheers for now. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi MFC, another quick point - I've made a couple of changes to the lead, a grammar issue and a leading zero - but I noticed you have this sentence "Punch Imlach, Scotty Bowman and Roger Neilson have all made it to the Hockey Hall of Fame" followed by "Hall of Famer Marcel Pronovost, who " - so should Pronovost be in the original list with Imlack, Bowman and Neilson? Let me know when you're done. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:58, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Also, Pronovost is not colour coded in the table, there seems to be a number of inconsistencies in the way you state the term (i.e. whole term linked without spaces between en-dash and years, individual years linked without spaces between en-dash and years, individual years linked with spaces between en-dash and years) which needs to be cleared up. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Finally your note 8 says "Thus any coach who has two separate terms as head coach is only counted once. " - Bowman had three seperate terms so I'd modify the note to read "two or more..." The Rambling Man (talk) 07:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks.

I'm going to get caught one of these days. :P · AndonicO Engage. 22:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
