Delaywaves Infobox
COO to CFO. Please see Soni's talkpage. This stuff (Total Infobox deployment) should be automatic, like the awarding...takes a minute. I had edited the Infobox and it was ready to go. It shows up everywhere its suppossed to EXCEPT for the most important place-----The Awardees PAge. This, "Sorry, I was Busy" doesnt work. Maybe Sonmi didn't set it up to work as best it could. I know squat about implementing and re-tooling templates but I know it should not depend on just one editor to take the time to do it. It creates problems like this. Maybe someone else needs to step up and handle Infoboxes (excluding you and me). Other than this, everything is smooth as silk. ```Buster Seven Talk 13:25, 8 May 2013 (UTC) I know User GOP is away. Mainly put it here for stalker review. ```Buster Seven Talk
- Automating it would require quite a bit of effort, and most possibly a bot, I think. IMO it wouldnt be worth the effort. But I totally agree on the handle infoboxes part. (I've been saying so for a lot of days now) TheOriginalSoni (talk) 13:41, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
- We don't need to automate it. We just need some member of EotW (preferably someone that isn't doing anything) to step forward, say they are going to do it.....and then do it. ```Buster Seven Talk 23:31, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- If neither User:TheOriginalSoni nor User:Isaacl can do it, I see User:Amadscientist rejoined, which is fantastic; his insight is invaluable. Perhaps he would be willing to take it on. Go Phightins! 23:33, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- If all the reliable regulars take on one of the asst tasks, this thing will run smooth as silk. ```Buster Seven Talk 23:36, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hey, GoP...and any stalkers. I'm sure you agree that reliable is the active word. I don't mean to be bossy, but I'm tired of worrying if a task will be done. Not you, but some just drop the ball and then when someone else picks it up, they think they can still have input and tell them how and what to do. In my business, I have no problem getting replacements (or doing stuff myself until I do). But, if you leave the field of play , don't think you can strut back on and be the quarterback. That position is filled. So is the referee position. Thanks for letting me vent. ```Buster Seven Talk 19:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Apology
I would like to apologize for my erratic behavior. I hope I haven't lost any respect from the community. I will be a productive editor and edit in the best way possible. No more crap, I'm back now. ~~JHUbal27 01:34, 15 May 2013 (UTC)Ḣ
Like AutomaticStrikeout ? 01:36, 15 May 2013 (UTC)- That's great to hear. Good to have the actual you back!
ZappaOMati 01:40, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Ditto above. I knew that wasn't like you. Even the best of us go off the deep end on occasion, the important thing is that you recover and learn from mistakes, which I trust you have. Good to have you back. Thanks for dropping by, but you don't need to apologize to me; just ensure that it doesn't happen again. I hope you are having an enjoyable week. Sincerest regards, Go Phightins! 02:14, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

- As the user who asked GP to have a word, I'm glad this is resolved without me having to go to the drama boards - looks like my judgement was correct :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:19, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

My next order of business is to write an article about a major concert tour that debuts in 5 weeks, that I'm going to ;) On top of that, I have to do it on a smartphone before anyone else does. And do that while doing final exams and school. I'm not done yet. ~~JHUbal27 11:24, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
WKEY GAN
I am currently dealing with a wicked, 3 day long TMJ migraine. So my editing has slowed to a crawl and trying to make coherent, well-written sentences is near impossible. I will do my best to work on the recommendations you brought up on the GAN as so as I get rid of this migraine. So, if you don't see action on the page for a day or two, please know that I still have the migraine. My apologizes for the delay. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:06, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- No problem. Feel better. Go Phightins! 14:04, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Still got the headache, but I am at least able to form coherent, well-written sentences. So, I have updated the WKEY (AM) page with at much programming information as I could dig up. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:05, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Made some more updates, rewrote some sentences and tweaked a couple other things. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:50, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Will check later this evening. Thanks. Go Phightins! 21:20, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Okie Dokie, will continue tweaking the article. Am trying to get copyright info on an old image right now. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:40, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Got the copyright info and uploaded that image a couple hours ago. I am still online in case you want to do the re-review tonight. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:50, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, my stupid allergies have made their triumphant return. I may try that stuff you recommended. For a while, Claritin was doing the trick, but I took one dose a couple hours late, and the allergies are back. I will try to see what I can do this afternoon. Go Phightins! 10:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- Allergies, the #1 reason I perfer Winter. There isn't any pollen in Winter. :) Anywho, hope you feel better soon. You can find the Chlortrimeton in the allergy section (on the medication aisle) at your local grocery store or at Walmart or Target. Store brand works just the same as the name brand. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:49, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

How are things coming along with the GAN? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:43, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- I am terribly sorry. My allergies just took a turn for the worst, so I am on some stronger medication and just cannot do it right now. If you want someone else to look at it, perhaps one of my stalkers wouldn't mind, or I will try to get to it no later than Thursday. Again, very sorry. Go Phightins! 01:53, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- No worries, I was just checking. I figured the allergies were acting up again, but really, no worries. I had to have a Chlortrimeton myself last night. It knocked me out, but the allergies are gone. Tree pollen in the Spring wipes me out, but not as bad as Ragweed in the Fall. Ugh! I hate ragweed! But no worries if you don't get to it by Thursday, 'tis cool. :) I hope you feel better. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:47, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Since you aren't feeling well, and so you can recover and get better without rushing back to do a review, I asked User:Drmies for help. Don't worry, though, I'm not upset or anything. I know how allergies can be and how they creep up outta nowhere. I hope you feel better quickly and when I do my next GAN, I will keep you in mind. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:33, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Glad you are feeling better. I was worried that your allergies would turn into a cold or something. I have had that happen a couple times and it sucked! That's why I asked Drmies, but since you are feeling better, all is well. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 12:12, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- I addressed the couple things you brought up on the GAN page. I removed "The Cross" logo as it could be considered Fair Use, but the image of former owner Earl M. Key, which was from a 1940s matchbook with the WKEY logo, is under Public Domain, so I think we are good on that one. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 10:46, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- By the way, I am up for awhile, so I should be able to correct anything else quicker than normal. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 10:47, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Adopt Me
Dear Phightins, Would you be able to adopt me? I am really stuck and need help. My article has been proposed for deletion. I need some guidance on how can I save this article from deletion. Please help me. Thanks, Anjumodgil (talk) 13:21, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hello there. Unfortunately I am not taking any new adoptees at the moment ... there are already two on my waiting list ... I am just too busy right now. As for the article in question, which I believe is Om Swami, may I ask, are you the subject of the article? Do you know him? If so, you probably have a conflict of interest and consequently should not be editing the article. In order to establish that Swami is notable, you need to find third-party reliable sources about him. Amazon.com does not cut it; we need something like newspaper articles or other non-trivial mentions in the media. He needs to meet what is called the general notability guideline or another notability guideline. For example, Mahatma Gandhi meets the guideline because numerous books have been written about him and many news articles were written about him. Though you obviously don't need that many, he is an example of someone who has just about every type of acceptable source to establish notability. The other problem with your article is that it is not written from a neutral point of view. I fear, as mentioned above, that you have a conflict of interest, which means that you probably subconsciously promote the subject. Please read our guideline on maintaining a neutral point of view, and ask at the Teahouse question forum, as I am going away this weekend, if you need any clarification. I apologize that I could not be more of help. If you would like to be placed on the adoption waiting list, know that I probably will not be able to adopt you until early June at the earliest. If you would like to be on the waiting list nonetheless, please make it known on this page, and hopefully Tazerdadog, JHUbal27, or Jackson Peebles will see it and can add you. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Respectfully yours, Go Phightins! 19:19, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Adopt Me
Thank you so much for your response. I wish I had talked to you earlier. This is where I needed guidance. I know this person but I have just stated the facts of his life, his accomplishments before renunciation and what he is doing now. The intention definitely is not to promote him. If my tone/words are not neutral, I am more than happy to change it. I just needed someone to guide me to the areas where it sounds promotional. But thank you so much for taking the time to review the Article and responding to me. Regards, Anjumodgil (talk) 19:40, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Adoption
Would you Adopt me? I have been around for about 2.51379054 months, and know enough to (sort of (kind of (barely))) get by, but would like to know more. Thanks!-- Thus Spake Lee Tru. 14:53, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

- sure. thanks.-- Thus Spake Lee Tru. 19:24, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

I am regularly getting into trouble with my edits on wikipedia. I want to become a prefect editor in Wikipedia. As Jackson Peebles mentioned it will be great honor to be adopted by you and hope it will be a great learning process. I kindly request you to please help me out. Benedictdilton (talk) 05:49, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hello Benedictdilton. Boy, these adoption requests come in spurts. None for a month and then two in the course of a day . Like I told Lee, I am still trying to catch up on some other WP business right now. Would you mind pinging me in about 2 weeks to remind me, and at that time I will set it up? Thanks. Go Phightins! 19:16, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Ok I will do that till that time I will keep a low profile in wikipedia as you can already see I had removed my user page. Was actually planning to quit because of the trouble caused by my lack of knowledge. Request your recommendation on some one to discuss about WP:RSBenedictdilton (talk) 06:48, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for my delay in seeing this. Almost any of my talk page stalkers are qualified to talk to you about reliable sources. User:ZappaOMati, User:AutomaticStrikeout, User:Buster7 jump out as good ones, but any of them can help you. Go Phightins! 00:37, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Sir any progress in my Adoption request. I am waiting eagerly to learn more about wiki before getting into serious editing and avoid getting into trouble.Benedictdilton (talk) 17:45, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

- Thank you for the review. At long last :) Go Phightins! 02:21, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
I got unblocked!
Hey GoP! I finally got blocked for block evasion but got unblocked by Kww. I'm incredibly busy with final exams and eighth grade "graduation"/end of the year crap. I'll help out with Benediction maybe in the summer if he's around. Are you offended by the "barnstar" I gave you? Peace. ~~JHUbal27 23:23, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

- Gotta love end of the year crap ... thanks, looking forward to getting back into that when I have some more time in a few weeks or months here. Unfortunately, I keep getting busier and busier, and the more I think it'll get better in a few weeks, the more piles up. I was not "offended" by your BTR barnstar (hey that rhymes), but I categorically am against Bieber, Simpson, BTR, Swift, Cyrus, Spears, and whoever the next ten are. Give me some Billy Joel, Louis Armstrong, [[Dallas Brass], heck even Sesame Street. I like lots of genres of music, just none of the "crap" genre which seems to be so popular among youth right now. No offense ... Go Phightins! 02:21, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Just a reminder :)
Hey Go Phightins! Just a quick reminder for you to point at some more RFAs for me :) I seem to be getting accused of badgering on my RFB so I thought I would drop a little note here instead. ·addshore· talk to me! 14:06, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 00:00, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
