[edit] A DYK Medal isn't just for life...

For his several fabby entrants to DYK, (I cannot believe that there wasn't a Dogs Trust article!) I awared Smur this shiny medal. Wear it with pride, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 22:23, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals

Saw it on the DYK suggestion page. Great article, enjoyed reading it. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 05:30, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:HighwayCello/Minun

ILM deleted it! He moved it to User:Iloveminun/Black Hole then tagged it, then blanked User:HighwayCello/Minun. I managed to save User:HighwayCello/Minun but all the stuff got deleted. Can you find it in the deletion archives? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

ArbCom looks quite nice now. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

(nods) Torchic was even worse, I had two FACs and two sets of completely different problems. Would you like a hand on anything? ^_^ (guess who's going to be away for a week?) Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The middle section seems very bolded.. kinda giving me a headache actually. Why does television have to be so annoying at times, it's like nails on a chalkboard. On another subject, what is the sudden buzz with Shiny Pokémon? ; ) Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I zapped a stupid shiny Pelipper. Stupid no GBA backlight. I don't see the benefit of a Shiny Torchic picture, but anyway. ;) That's life isn't it, they never give you what you need when you need it. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

You know the "Smurrayinchester my talk my preferences..." bit at the top of the screen, has yours jumped to the left? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Went to the right and jumped back.. ¬_¬ Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:58, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Very odd. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 19:25, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I wonder who this is? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 19:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for catching that, Smurray. I got a bit absent-minded while trying to work on the backlog in CAT:CSD, but don't worry, you won't see me doing something like that again. ;) More thanks, Sango123 20:20, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Evidence formulated, check user wrote, sockpuppet tagged, indef blockage for evading his one week. And they still won't make me admin ; ) Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 20:27, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your article, Vindaloo (single), was selected for DYK!

On June 14, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Vindaloo (single), which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! ++Lar: t/c 02:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks from Samir

Dear Smurrayinchester, thanks so much for your support during my recent successful request for adminship. I really appreciate it. As an aside, it was good of you to help sort through the Minun and socks situation. Take care -- Samir धर्म 08:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rugby World Cup Finalists Map

Dear Smurrayinchester,

I have just seen your map Rugby world cup countries best results and hosts.png and noticed that there were a couple of things wrong with it. I have created a new version and would like your permission to upload it. Drop me a note if you want more info. The changes I've made are:

• 1. Countries without a win at the pool stage now coloured black;
• 2. Italy added and coloured red;
• 3. Host nations have larger magenta dots;
• 4. British Isles inset added (double scale) and host dot moved from Ireland to Wales;
• 5. Recoloured index and countries to make semifinalists easier to differentiate;
• 6. Placed boxes around Tonga, Samoa and Fiji to make them stand out easier against ocean.

Hope the above meets with your approval. --die Baumfabrik 04:33, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New version uploaded

Map of countries best results

Hello again, Smurray, I've uploaded a revised version as Rugby world cup countries best results and hosts rev1.png for two reasons:

• 1. You may like to try before you buy;
• 2. My wikiMedia account is too new to directly replace the image. I could wait four days, but I thought we should strike while the iron is hot. Would you like to move the image yourself?

Thanks for your help. --die Baumfabrik 07:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitration

Tony said we should both leave statements, I think you would help the case with your good words. The case is here. Hopefully you can get round to it, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Iloveminun

Hello,

An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Iloveminun. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Iloveminun/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Iloveminun/Workshop.

[edit] Yikes!

Can you move Team Rocket (Pokémon) back to Team Rocket (anime)? Someone completely ignored the whole discussion on the move, and I can't fix it. Cheers, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 18:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Thankio! Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 20:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Wishing you all the best on your birthday! From the Wikipedia Birthday Committee.

Many happy returns of the day! Enjoy!

[edit] Scrabble wiktionary logo

Cool! Do you still have the original files? I'd like to make a flat-color version of the image for print. Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 22:55, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Without gradients, really -- company logos are usually vector-based and typically only use a couple colors because it makes them easier to reproduce well (not an issue onscreen, obviously, but good for other media). Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 07:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Alright, cool. Just wanted to make sure there was a flat version in the wild. Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 17:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday

Hello friend. I wish you a very happy birthday. Yesterday, I could not come to wish you as I was getting late. BTW, I learnt of the same from Wikipedia:Esperanza. All the best for the coming year! --Bhadani 12:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured List Candidate

Thanks for your advice on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of areas in the National Park System of the United States. I have made the changes you suggested and responded on that page. Thanks again! Nationalparks 14:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trading Spaces program and WP:UPH

Hello Smurrayinchester. I noticed recently on Esperanza's Trading Spaces program that you were listed as a member renovating another's userpage. I am here to tell you that the Trading Spaces program has left Esperanza and has merged into WikiProject User Page Help. WikiProject User Page Help is a new WikiProject designed to help Wikipedians with the technical side of Wikipedia, HTML codes, markups, etc. It has been discussed and the Trading Spaces program has been merged into the our new WikiProject. I have also come to invite you to our new project. If you would like to become a member, feel free to add your name to the list of participants. Whether you join or not, you're still free to join the Trading Spaces program. Cheers! — The King of Kings 22:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

On June 21, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article A8(M) motorway (Northern Ireland), which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! ++Lar: t/c 00:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sarah Jane and K9

Please include your observations on the talk page as I have requested comment to create concensus on this issue. I am interested in why you beleive Sarah Jane Smith is not a Tenth Doctor companion.71.254.4.208 07:00, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Award

Perhaps you would like to go and support an award for this wikiproject on the award proposal page? The idea is about to be archived.--evrik 17:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Hey yourself! It's good to be back, I see you're an admin now. Good going! Wikiwoohoo 15:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Court

I am finding out who is guilty, Iloveminun or HighwayCello. I would suggest that you be involved in the Wikipedia court I created at User:Poke Master/Court, regards, Poke Master (Talk • Contribs) 11:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More socks

Is it just me, or does this seem odd? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 12:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I've had similar thoughts about User:Erupting Turtle, but that isn't as clear cut. I don't see how he amazingly whipped up a copy of the ArbCom page out of thin air, it's all rather odd. He's inviting all god knows people into it, User:Iloveminun, User:Celestianpower, you, me, User:Raichu, it's like a dodgy Agatha Christie novel. I take it the best thing to do is ignore it? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 12:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

They all seem to find the PCP rather fast. Maybe ILM isn't the root puppeteer, his first edit was summarising an image. It makes no sense, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 12:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I am officially paranoid. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 12:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

You are the weakest editor? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 13:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

What do you think? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 19:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Should I apply for a mass checkuser? There's -

I'm reporting them all, hasn't he earned close to an indef block yet? Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 19:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Well done! (I'll award you a barnstar when school has left the building ;) Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 21:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Bicycle"

You added "Bicycle" to Jimbo's "In many languages" page. Uh...what is bicycle?--The Ninth Bright Shiner ^talk 07:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

Thanks a lot! I’m chuffed! Can ask you to place it on my main user page in the contributions and accolades section; that way it will be an authentic placement (rather than having me move it). Once again thanks a lot! (and thanks for your help too!) Miller 16:40, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notes in Doctor Who episodes

Sorry about the clumsy search-and-replace, I paused before checking my work because I was realizing this might be a larger scale problem than just one article. I've brought up my issues with the format on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who#"Notes" section in episode articles. Bryan 06:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A favour?

I was wondering if you could perhaps delete User:Wikiwoohoo/Important Message since it is now superfluous to requirements. I'd be happy to return the favour. Thanks! Wikiwoohoo 19:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
