If you would like to nominate an image, please do so at Misplaced Pages:Featured picture candidates. Thank you for your contribution! 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Greg,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Translational_motion.gif is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on May 14, 2007. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-05-14. howcheng {chat} 18:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Featured Picture Candidate

I nominated one of your animations (Image:Translational motion.gif) to be featured. See Misplaced Pages:Featured picture candidates/Translational Motion. —EdGl 02:05, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I wrote back on your personal discussion page. Greg L 20:45, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

(concerning your last post on my talk page) You should definitely speak out and state your case on the featured picture candidates page! —EdGl 21:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I left a note on Antilived's talk page concerning his vote, directing him to my talk page. —EdGl 01:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

There are two users who voted neutral but clearly like it and lean support, voting neutral only because of minor issues. In this case it's not really a bad thing, since there are a few support votes and no oppose votes. Only a few more days left. —EdGl 04:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

That's the way I see it. Thanks. Greg L 05:13, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Woohoo, the animation is now featured! →Ed Gl 00:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

It says on the picture-of-the-day page that "featured images are currently selected in the order they were promoted". So, it won't be on the main page in a while. They have already selected pics up to March 1st. →Ed Gl 01:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Of course, that's fine. I only picked Temperature because it was the first. Regards. Trebor 07:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		For your herculean efforts at Kilogram and for your wonderful CG image of the IPK. Enuja (talk) 23:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Greg L/Sewer cover in front of Greg L’s house

Thanks, that is funny and makes an excellent point. --John (talk) 13:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for dropping me a note. I’m glad you liked it. I noted before that you had linked to it. Greg L (talk) 05:19, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

		Home-Made Barnstar
		I made this barnstar myself. I think you qualify for it for your creation of the sewer cover barnstar, and for your tireless efforts to focus linking on targets that are useful to our readers. John (talk) 19:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

A kilobyte of thanks

		The Kilobyte Barnstar
		For your efforts in restoring the industry standard terms for memory size to the Manual of Style (dates and numbers). The IC is an Intel 2708, a 1 kilobyte EPROM made in 1976. SWTPC6800 (talk) 03:50, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Why, thank you very much. That certainly was a joint effort. I hope you give yourself one! Greg L (talk) 04:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Archival System

Hi there. Would it possible for you to set up an archive system? Your page is very hard to open on a mobile browser, or even a slower computer. If you can't be bothered to do it yourself (like me), try bots like User:Cluebot III.

Regards, NuclearWarfare _(Talk) 03:29, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Seconded. Greg, if setting up a bot is a burden, I can do it for you. Or, you can just delete all the older stuff from your Talk page – nothing wrong with that.--Goodmorningworld (talk) 18:52, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

All: I’ll get this done in the next 48 hours. Greg L (talk) 18:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Done. Greg L (talk) 21:31, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Something that might interest you

Hello Greg. If you take a look here, you'll see a suggestion I've made in regards to your original proposal on the workshop. Your comments would be appreciated. Regards, Ryan Postlethwaite 00:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

File:Clerk.png

It is quite simply entirely inappropriate to upload an image with a title like "Clerk.png" as you did. Please don't do so again. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:31, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours in accordance with Misplaced Pages's blocking policy for a long, steady pattern of incivility. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Gwen Gale (talk) 21:42, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Greg L (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

You cite It is quite simply entirely inappropriate to upload an image with a title like "Clerk.png" as you did. Of course I want to contest this block. All I did was create a cropped version of his photograph instead of the landscape version so it would take up less room in my post. Why is there a double-standard for uploading this image? Ryan uploaded the photograph and used it on his own talk page. Your stated reasoning for the block is that I uploaded it. Do you not realize that it is just a zoom of an existing photograph that Ryan himself uploaded? Perhaps I should have just used the existing landscape-orientation image and crowded my post some more. And BTW, the post in which I used the image was civil, so all this fuss is over some perceived notion that I “uploaded” an inappropriate image, which can not possibly be the case since Ryan took it.

Shown below is Ryan’s very own home page. Greg L (talk) 22:30, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Decline reason:

No, you were blocked for incivility; read your block message. True, the image didn't help, as it appears to have been uploaded solely for the purposes of harassment. Hersfold 22:52, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
