Congratulations. Gwen Stefani discography was among the leading votegetters at WP:LOTD and will be recognized as list of the day twice. If you have any date preferences get back to me by the 26th.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 02:00, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Melissa Auf der Maur picture

Hey, when did you take that picture of Melissa? It says that you were the original author Speedboy Salesman (talk) 21:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Nah it doesn't matter that much, I just wanted to congratulate that person on taking an amazing photo, of a very gorgeous woman ;) Speedboy Salesman (talk) 22:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Merge

Hi. :) Just wanted to point out that when we merge an article, we place it into Category:Redirects from merges by adding the template {{R from merge}}. I'm working on adding it to this little run of NIN songs, so you don't worry about that; this is just in case you run into this situation again. That keeps the articles from being deleted, which is necessary for GFDL compliance. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I've run into a lot of these merges, so I've gotten used to them. :D There's about a billion different things to remember, it seems, when editing Wikipedia. Just about the time I get one process down, I run into a whole new one I get to figure out. :/ --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Carrie Underwood discography

I'd closed the FLC nomination because obviously, there was still dispute over the way the article should be presented. I'd noticed you suggested we should vote on the format, which I must admit was a good idea. So I was wondering if you would perhaps voice your opinion at the talk page here. Cheers. σмgнgσмg(talk) 09:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Nine Inch Nails Project

If you meant the stray marks at the bottom, I removed them. And the new template should be updated about twice a week to reflect the current status of the articles. If you meant some other variation on the preexisting page, I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to. John Carter (talk) 02:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure what you mean. In the prior version as I see it, the assessment box was aligned to the right with the members box below it and aligned to the left. Now, the assessment box and members list are both aligned to the left. But let me see if I can change the locations of the boxes back. John Carter (talk) 02:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I've responded to your concerns. Please close items that have been resolved. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 05:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

GA Sweeps update

This is a form message being sent out to all of the GA sweeps reviewers. Thank you for all of your dedicated work in the difficult and time-consuming task of ensuring the quality of articles within the GA project. Many reviewers have taken time out of reviewing articles at WP:GAN (this may be one factor in the expansion of the backlog), writing articles, and probably getting some sleep! I have sent this message out to update you on our current progress and to remind you to please keep up with completing your reviews and updating GARs/holds. As of March 1, 2008, we have swept 20% of the 2,808 GAs we started with. At our current progress, all of the articles will be assessed in just under three years (based on when we started). If we want to complete the sweeps sooner, we need to continue reviewing at a higher rate (consider doing one or two more reviews a week or whatever you feel comfortable with) and inviting new, experienced reviewers. If you are taking a break, focusing on GAN, writing your own GAs, or are already reviewing articles like crazy, I still want to thank you for all of your hard work and hope you are pleased about our current progress. Keep up the good work and happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 09:02, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident

Further to your review of the above, there is a new debate raging on its talk page about one user's attempt to change the name of the "Government actions" section to "Government propaganda". Your views as a GA reviewer would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ohconfucius (talk) 01:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. Ohconfucius (talk) 02:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

The March 2008 issue of the WikiProject Good Articles Newsletter is ready! Dr. Cash (talk) 05:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your time (do I owe you a GA review now!?). I think all your stuff is done. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 10:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 22:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words and sorry the FLC was unsuccessful. I had a couple of ideas that may help improve the list - you may want to see about making it a sortable list. I also thought about adding the film grosses to the list itself as a last column. I also think at least one ref per table would help with the citation concerns. I would be glad to look at it again after you have improved it. Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Spanishness

Sorry, I have been busy at work and have forgotten about Wikipedia for a while. Did you get that Spanish stuff taken care of, señor? :) --Josiah Bartlet, President of the United States (talk) 20:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I cannot translate that for you, because it's Italian. Haha. No wonder your translations are not working. However, since Spanish and Italian are so very similar, derivatives of Latin as they are, I can understand a vague gist of the message. Which is basically, "Sure that's fine, just as long as you give me credit." --Josiah Bartlet, President of the United States (talk) 09:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jed Bartlet (talkcontribs)

Spanish

Do you still need that authorisation letter? I haven't been logged in for the last month so I just read that you needed it--Shadebug (talk) 05:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC) No, wait, just read your archives. Sorry I couldn't help this time round, but let me know if you need any help with spanish in the future--Shadebug (talk) 05:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Italian

Sure, no problem ;)

Just paste the things you want me to translate on my talk page and i will do it right away! Zisimos (talk) 12:30, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Drewcifer3000. You have new messages at Moonriddengirl's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I think I can do that sentence translating, as long as they're not hard, even though I have been under training, I have forgotten some of it. But I think I can do it for you. I'll try. --RoryReloaded (talk) 20:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


He actually already gave you the permission.

He literally says: 'Hi, I am happy that you're using my photo on wikipedia. I'd also be happy to give it with a gnu license:the only thing I ask is to be given the credit of the photo.'

So he pratically gave you the green light ;)Zisimos (talk) 21:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

FLCs

Hey Drewcifer, thanks so much for your in depth scrutiny of my currently featured football manager lists. I've responded to your comments and, in most cases, I'm working on their solution if possible. I'd be extremely grateful if you could could agree/disagree/comment further on the points you've raised in each one so that the FLC process can carry on smoothly! I should have just started with one list and acted on the comments across the others before I nominated them but I got too keen for my own good! Cheers again for your time and comments... The Rambling Man (talk) 18:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi again dude. I think I'm done. Can you confirm or deny that for me?! Cheers again... The Rambling Man (talk) 12:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your support and comments so far, I've reworked as many of the citations on the CWC article as I can find... I hope it meets with your approval! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ghosts I-IV

Here's a good source for the album I just stumbled upon: [1]. WesleyDodds (talk) 22:51, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Year Zero

You were kind of right about teh comparison between song and album. Anyway, I'm sorry it was closed too. I don't think enough editors responded/returned to reconsider their votes, and I'm not sure why. Tinker with the article some more and then if you nominate it again, maybe notify person's associated with the the Album Wikiproject or Trent Reznor to see if they will review it. Best wishes!--Esprit15d • talkcontribs 12:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:LOTD

Congratulations! No Doubt discography was selected as a List of the Day for April. Let me know if you have a strong preference for a date.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:42, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Tenacious D discography

Great suggestions. Have I carried everything out. I'm afraid I found aligning the album/EP columns impossible. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 14:44, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I sorted out the tables and tried to deal with your other concerns. I hope I have addressed all of them. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 17:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the edits. The new cites are fine. I did not replace the dates with years, but I hope you are okay with this. I realize this jars against elsewhere in the article, but I felt the ability to order by date was important. Also the dates in particular have more significance as these are live performances, not really releases. Would you be willing to support? Tenacious D Fan (talk) 17:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Huge icons on your user page

FYI the icons on your user page are huge. I think Template:click changed syntax recently or something, because it doesn't accept px anymore in heights/widths. Gary King (talk) 18:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

WOW! That's crazy, thanks for the heads up. I'll try and fix that. Drewcifer (talk) 18:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I've cleaned it for you. Hopefully that helps. Gary King (talk) 18:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

In need a GA review

Hi. I worked with you in the GA nomination of the Batwoman article and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind reviewing Janet Jackson since the nomination page is back logged. If you decide to, I thank you in advance. If not, don't worry about it. Have a great day! Bookkeeperoftheoccult (talk) 09:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
