Thank you for defending CatDiffuse

Thank you for your defense of CatDiffuse: I had no idea it was up for deletion, and I am amazed at the response it has generated. I invite you to review and participate in WP:∫, to bring order to Misplaced Pages. Cwolfsheep 05:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Portal peer review

Hello, Jc37! Since it has been a month since you nominated the Comics portal for peer review, I hope you received good feedback on how the portal could be improved. If you would like, you could keep the portal listed at the portal peer review for more suggestions for improvement and ask the Wikipedians here for feedback. Also, if you think the portal is ready, you could nominate the portal for featured status. Either way, I hope you've received helpful reviews! Cheers, S.D. ¿п? § 01:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Your closing rationale on the Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_March_14#Fictional characters by power was mightily impressive.--Mike Selinker 15:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Re Listification

Hi again jc37,

There are some categories ready for listification on the working page. I know you've done some in the past, is there an simple way to do this? - jc37 13:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The few I've done were by copy-paste then search-replace in a plain-text editor (to remove whitespace, create links, etc) from the category page, i.e. manually, followed by subst:ing {{Ctlf}} to create a basic "List of" page. Whether this is the simplest (or even a simple) method, I don't know; there may be a technique/template/macro or the like that automates the process entirely... perhaps something like WP:AWB could be (or has been!) coaxed to do so... In a nutshell, I guess my answer is an incredibly useful "maybe", although if there isn't an automated technique/template/macro/AWB/etc setup, it's something to add to a to-do list somewhere!  Yours, David (talk) 20:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

AWB is a bit rubbish, but it does work. Usually I prefer cut'n'paste. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

For me it depends on the size of the list. Up to about 50 articles, a copy-and-regex approach usually seems to feel like the least work, but once the category sprawls beyond one page, then AWB wins for me by making the list in two steps (cretae list from category, then save list to a text file, where it comes out preformatted). If I already a spare instance of AWB running, then I'll enerally use AWB even for quite a short list. But that's just me, try whatever works for you :) --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:40, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Wow

Thank you! >Radiant< 10:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Random Smile!

WarthogDemon has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Excellent work on BBW article

I really appreciate your cleanup of the BBW article, you did a wonderful job of making the "usage" part far more concise. Thank you!--Patrick80639 23:45, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Your message

Thanks for recording your kind thought on my talk page. I am, even now, still grateful for your support back in March. Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 16:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Nehrams2020 RfA Thanks

And thanks again.

		Comics Communication Barnstar
		For your outstanding efforts in speaking up for the truth, educating fellow editors, explaining project guidelines and goals, striving to resolve differences while keeping a level head, and generally facilitating communication about comics-related articles and between their contributors, it is my great pleasure to award you this Comics Communication Barnstar.

Thanks!

Thanks for the congrats. I was going to wait until it was over to drop you a note, but I'll apologise now for not letting you know about the nomination, as I know you wanted to co-nom. It all started happening very quickly once I decided to accept Wizardman's nom, and I wanted to avoid lots of co-noms, but I think you were the first person to suggest a nomination, and I hope you found my link to that in my statement!

Canvassing?

Hi, could you give me an example of the canvassing you referred to in relation to your “Wikipedians by philosophy and subcats” deletion nomination? Thanks, --S.dedalus 21:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
