[edit] Coulier

Hi, I just saw the article you added on David Coulier. However, wikipedia already had an article on him at Dave Coulier. I redirected your article to that - but if you'd like to put some of the information into Dave Coulier, go ahead - I think yours had more stuff. john k 05:09, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Okay, done! I can't believe I missed that, but I hope it looks better now. Rhymeless 05:35, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Thanks for your wonderful comments about my contributions. You are too kind to me. Thanks too for alerting me to that error. I probably meant to write more. :) -- Decumanus 04:33, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support

I just wanted to thank you for your support in my recent nomination to become an administrator. I really appreciate it. blankfaze | •• | •• 14:52, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Many thanks for your recent support for me as sysop. I think that I'll take some time playing myself in before I go mad! Cutler 12:47, Jul 9, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Miseditions

When you wee editing Wikipedia:Requested articles/music, you (or was it the software?) overwrote lots of content with a paste. Could you correct?

[edit] Quadell's Nomination

Hi Rhymeless,

Since you expressed your concern, Jimbo Wales has given his opinion on the matter of the Khalid bin Mahfouz issues and Quadell's role in it. You may see this information at VfA. I would be grateful if you would read the material and see if it changes your opinion on the nomination. Thanks, Cecropia | Talk 20:18, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Administrator nomination

Hi, I see you're not on the list of administrators, but I think you should be. If you're interested, I will post a nomination for you at WP:RFA. Regards, Wile E. Heresiarch 18:49, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • I would be honoured. Thank you and regards, Rhymeless 04:11, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Terrific, I've put your nomination on the list. Please respond at WP:RFA to accept. Regards, Wile E. Heresiarch 14:48, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Admiral William Standley State Recreation Area

You put a delete on this page, but it had been vandalized. It should have been reverted, not deleted. RickK 05:40, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)

  • Oh bugger, I forgot to check! The phone rang, and that was that.. I'll try to be more careful in the future, thanks. Rhymeless 05:46, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The continuing saga of The Bandit

Regarding your note on my talk page, RickK wants to delete them, and so do I. I've come up with a message template that will alert users to these things and not to bother with them. I may change the wording a bit. I haven't checked the new pages yet, but I plan on boilerplating every one that I might come across. Thanks for saying hi! - Lucky 6.9 03:33, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Hi, again. The template is {{bmoviebandit1}}. - Lucky 6.9 03:47, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Hi yet again. Talk about irony: Someone has put this template up for a VfD vote. Guess he'd rather have needless substubs.  :^P - Lucky 6.9 06:47, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • I thought you knew, it's been decided that every single one of those Bandit substubs have truthful information, and are therefore absolutely vital towards Wikipedia. Shame on you for trying to make them go away! Rhymeless 06:54, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] re Lee Lawrie cleanup

Good Afternoon Rhymeless: I'm more or less the creater of the Lee Lawrie entry and I'm wondering what sort of cleanup you had in mind for it? Sime I'm old enough to clean up my own messes I'll do so but am unclear of what you had in mind. Content? Spelling or Grammar? photographs? Layout? - Since I have been doing a fair amount of very similar articles I'd like some feedback, directions or . . . whatever. Carptrash 22:55, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] more on Lee Lawrie

No, i am not offended by your thoughts on Lee Lawrie - to the contrary, I realize that this is the nature of wikipedia. I am just trying to figure out how to produce quality articles that work. Picture placement is something that I'm working on myself, but it is also possible that we have a different POV regarding graphic design. Anyway, for me this is about learning and that is best done with the aid of feedback. Carptrash 15:09, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Nomination for article un-deletion

Hello. I noted your recent support for the Empire of Atlantium article on VfD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Atlantium The most recent VfD resulted in 19 people (40%) voting to retain vs 29 (60%) voting to delete. Despite the fact that the count was fully 9 votes short of achieving a 2/3 consensus, the article was deleted by a sysop. Because this appears to contravene VfD policy I have listed the article for un-deletion, which you might care to review and support, if you feel it is a valid listing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_undeletion

Well: i moved around the Lee Lawrie pictures a bit and also realized that it was an early entry for me and that I have changed the format somewhat since. I might just tackle the whole thing shortly.

I also noticed the "to delete or not delete, that is the question" issue regarding Atlantium and checked into it. Since I have been looking for some Australians [or Atlantians in Australia] to help with pictures for my Rayner Hoff piece, I contacted them. If they respond in a diplomatic manner, which may or may not include pictures, then I figure that they are for real and warrent a Thumbs Upp. Or something. If not . . . . . . then it is a vanity piece and gets a Thumbs Down from me. Carptrash 15:36, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
