Using bot to remove alumni tag?

I noticed that you, using a bot, removed the page about me from the "University of Waterloo Alumni" category. Not sure what reason there would be for doing that, but since I refrain from editing the page about me, I thought I would ask rather than revert.--Bradtem (talk) 07:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I removed the category (manually, not automated) because there was no mention of the school in the article. I have since gone out and looked for a page that mentions that you attended the school; I found this, so I will use it, although it is published by yourself. If you can provide a reference that mentions you graduated from Waterloo and is published by a third-party, reliable source, then please provide it. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 14:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

GAN:Noble gas

I have heavily edited the article myself. I have left out a todo list on the talk page with everything else that it needs to be added for a FA. Nergaal (talk) 07:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I will look it over. Please add references to information that you add to the article, because frankly, it is more difficult (at least, for me) to find references for scientific topics. Gary King (talk) 14:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Leaving aside the pros issues (I've added a request on LOCE), I've updated The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to include its sequels, as well as various other updates. What do you think now? --EclipseSSD (talk) 13:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Looks better, although I don't know if a Sequels section is required. If you look at other film articles that have sequels, I don't think they mention their sequels (in detail), beyond stating that they have a sequel. LOCE is a not very effective; you need to actively contact participants of the project and ask for a copyedit. Gary King (talk) 14:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, entree is here. But there are yet more compelling reasons in later discussions. I'll find them for you. TONY (talk) 17:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

From what I understand, you don't like that dates are linked because they add nothing of value. I agree. But, I also think that dates should be autoformatted based on user preference. If an article has all the dates unlinked but formatted the same way, then that would be more acceptable, but I would still prefer all the dates to be formatted according to my own preferences.

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) 17:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Are all the issues you listed now resolved? Please cap or strike as necessary. Thanks for your help! — Wackymacs (talk ~ edits) 21:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/New York State Route 28

I fixed or explained those issues. Can you take another look? Thanks, Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 00:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Same for NY 32 if possible.^Mitch32^contribs 00:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay done, although I only gave you one point. Is it really bothering your FAC that much? :p Gary King (talk) 01:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Improving Nintendo 64 to Featured Article status

The cartridges section used to be a bullet point list, while clearer to read, the new paragraph format is more in line with proper wiki style. I'm still finding it tough to get sources for the pros and cons for cartridges, it might be common sense to gamers but not other readers.

Again, congrats on Call of Duty 4, a GOTY is also a FA! GoldDragon (talk) 03:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Also, I posted this message to your talk page over two months ago. The article hasn't changed much since then, unfortunately. Gary King (talk) 05:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Dunder Mifflin GA hold

Which references need the additional info? Just the ones to the faux-Dunder Mifflin website? Daniel Case (talk) 07:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

All of the ones that are citing websites; it would be preferable if {{cite web}} was used. Gary King (talk) 14:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, another editor and myself took care of the remaining ones that I could find. Daniel Case (talk) 17:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I have responded to the changes at Talk:Dunder Mifflin/GA1. Please continue the conversation there to keep it all in one place, thanks! Gary King (talk) 17:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: revert

No prob. Whenever I see someone vandalize a page in someone's userspace I'm like "go, go, go, go... YES!!!! I got it!!!!", if you know what I mean... J.delanoy^gabsanalyze 20:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
