== Re: Hey, I'm looking to be adopted. ==

(Re [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xenocidic&diff=223310676&oldid=223310418]) 
I would be delighted to. Feel free to ask any questions, don't worry I won't get annoyed. Looking forward to working with you, –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black">'''xeno'''</span><span style="color:grey">cidic</span>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black">talk</span>]])</font> 14:40, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:For now, just ask at my talk page, if discussions get rather lengthly then we'll create a separate page to centralize discussions. –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black">'''xeno'''</span><span style="color:grey">cidic</span>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black">talk</span>]])</font> 14:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
::No problem at all; I'm always happy to help. To keep things organized, from now on, I'll reply at my talk page and just leave a short note here (basically update my signature) to let you know I've responded.  –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black">'''xeno'''</span><span style="color:grey">cidic</span>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black">talk</span>]])</font> 15:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Since the old conversation on your talk-page has been archived, where am I best to ask you questions?

:Replied at my talk. Since you're pretty active, if you want, you can create a user subpage like [[User:Lympathy/adoption]], and then ask questions in there - and then just leave me a note in the first section of my talk page and we can keep it all there. –<span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black;">'''xeno'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black;">talk</span>]])</span> 14:33, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

== 2008 tour de france ==

Thank you for your comment, nice to hear my work is appreciated! [[User:Theilert|lil2mas]] ([[User talk:Theilert#top|talk]]) 17:11, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

== AFL after Saturday night of round 16 ==

I'm deeply confused by the ladder entries that you put in.
I've undone your change - your Played/Won/Lost/Drawn entries
were completely wrong.  Feel free to double-check.

:Thanks for letting me know, I used an automated update that somehow confused "Games Won" with "Games Played" and "Games Lost" with "Games won" resulting in two incorrect columns. The rest was right though. I've made the necessary changes and all should be good now.

== Rollback granted ==

[[Image:Wikipedia Rollback.png|thumb]]
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account.  Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
*Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
*Rollback can be used to revert ''vandalism only'', and not good faith edits.
*Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it.  Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view [[Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback|this page]].  I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message {{#ifeq:Xenocidic|<!-- nothing -->|<!-- also nothing -->|on [[User talk:Xenocidic|my talk page]]}} if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.  Happy editing! –<span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black;">'''xeno'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<span style="color:black;">talk</span>]])</span> 18:37, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== Collapsible GC table ==

I think that was a terrific idea. I've taken a stab at it, [[User:Nosleep/sandbox|here]]. If you can improve upon it, please do so (just go ahead and edit my sandbox). I think this idea comes awfully close to pleasing everybody, so I hope we can figure it out. Thanks. [[User:Nosleep|Nosleep]] ([[User talk:Nosleep|talk]]) 19:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== TAC Cup teams ==

AFAIK, the Zebras etc have only ever been the senior VFA/VFL Team names, with the Stingrays/Dragons being the U18 teams.  Even if they only adopted the nicknames recently, that is the correct page to link to, not the senior VFL club page.  If the two teams belong to the one club (ie are the Stingrays really just the junior club of the Dandenong Football Club?) then the articles could be merged, or preferably have their relationship clearly explained.  I will look at some older AFL books I have for some guidance, but the AFL generally just uses Eastern U18 or similar rather than any nicknames.
