Trescothick

Well done. Is the Hogster the next target? Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking about Gilo if you fancy collaborating. Its a good un-sectioned start at the moment, and as his career has finished, it is less problematic than someone like Hoggard. As a long-term plan, how about the 2005 ashes winners as a WP:Featured topic in the same manner that Blnguyen & co. are working on The Invincibles. –MDCollins (talk) 23:49, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Or both Gilo and Hoggy (we can avoid too many edit conflicts)...–MDCollins (talk) 23:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's why I thought we are well on the way...–MDCollins (talk) 12:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at my 2005 Ashes winners nav box - it's still in my sandbox so the 'vde' links don't work yet. I'm a bit unsure whether to roll it out to the team as there has been considerable debate regarding cricketers and masses of nav boxes, but this one is a bit more worthwhile than endless World Cup squads. If we think it is worthwhile, we should bring it up at WP:CRIC. –MDCollins (talk) 00:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I thought of that, and then remembered that most English players are lucky to win the Ashes once, and so actually it is quite useful. As for the Aussies, Steve Waugh with his 18 times or whatever stupid amount it could be, would get silly, and so would probably get the 'no' vote. Perhaps on the relevant Ashes articles, but not the players? I don't no, I'll leave it on the metaphorical back-burner while I have a think about it. –MDCollins (talk) 22:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Honored by the Puerto Rican Senate

Dear Ben,

I would like to share with you that today, November 28, 2007, I was honored by the Senate of Puerto Rico with the "Resolution of the Senate Number 3603" in appreciation for my work in Misplaced Pages regarding Puerto Rican military related articles. I was given the resolution on behalf of the Senate by the President of the Puerto Rican Senate, the honorable Kenneth McClintock. It was a total surprise which I did not expect and that is why I want to share this news with you are my friend. Tony the Marine (talk) 06:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

My first ever award

A milestone in my wiki career. I'm so chuffed. It was my pleasure to copyedit for you. Red Gown (talk) 14:55, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

That's fine

Thanks for your message on your deletion of the entry The Adventures of Food Boy. I still disagree with the deletion, but there's really nothing I can do. And at the end of the day, I don't really care. I was just trying to be helpful. For what it's worth, there are five actors who have this movie listed on their entries but still no entry for this movie exists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mem59 (talk • contribs) 18:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Men in Black (1934 film)

You seemed to have trouble? They were the same article cut-and-paste moved, so needed a merge. Basically, you delete one, move the other over its place, and undelete the article, merging all of the edits together. You should also save the content of the article text before you delete it (I edit it in another tab, but you could copy it to your clipboard). You usually need to restore it after the merge. Otherwise you're left with a redirect, and the new history of the page is often hidden for several minutes before the system refreshes its cache. Anyhow, if you're not comfortable with doing history merges, you can tag {{db-histmerge}}; a handful admins handle most merge requests and are very experienced with them. Cool Hand Luke 19:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I see, you ultimately left them because it was already tagged. Anyhow, I've removed the speedy deletion category from {{Db-histmerge‎}} because these pages do trip up admins from time to time. Cool Hand Luke 19:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Your copyedit request

On 22 August 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit on Marcus Trescothick. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we aplogize. Since your request, this article has been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. Finetooth (talk) 20:12, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

In response to your query, yes, you need do nothing. Best wishes. Finetooth (talk) 20:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

The Adventures of Food Boy

I'll try not to be disheartened by the rejection...  :-) Yes, there is an IMDB page for this movie. Here's the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1059773/ I included it on the page I wrote earlier, but someone said that the movie still wasn't "notable" enough to be included. Given some of the actors in this movie, I disagree.

Having said that, I re-read your previous message and it looks like the bigger issues with the article I wrote were a lack of context (instead of just content) and that it was written in a simplistic code/manner. Let me see if I can add some context this time and I'll read up on writing more technically sound wikipedia articles, and I'll give it one more shot.

Thanks for the encouragement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mem59 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Removing backlinks to redirects deleted due to CSD R3

Please don't remove backlinks from "implausible redirects" to a notable subject - they simply need fixing to point to the correct name. Warofdreams talk 20:31, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Operation Camargue

The article is really good. You guys are doing a wonderful job. One thing that should have been learned by the struggle of the Vietnamese people is that it doesn't matter if you are a superpower, wars are won by military personnel who know what they are doing and not by politicians sitting on their fat asses. These people had the will and determination to win. Now, there is only one thing that I recommend, change the military time to civilian time format. Most of the people who read the artilce may confuse 1730 with a year (yes, you always have one of those) and in some cases will understand that 1730 is the military's way of expressing 5:30 PM.

Changing the subject, I have been in touch with the family that has in their possession the shell of the first round fired against Germany by the United States in World War l. It is a unique one of a kind historical military artifact. I may be involved in having said artifact loaned to a museum.

Redirects with quotation marks

Thanks for the reminder. --Merovingian (T, C) 05:35, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you clarify your latest statement? I haven't created any new redirects with quotation marks since we last talked. --Merovingian (T, C) 11:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I know I made some old ones that could be getting flagged only now, depending on when the bot (I assume that's how it's being done?) started. For example, I made 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite' on June 18, 2004. Anyways, thanks for the hard work. --Merovingian (T, C) 15:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for yours, and happy editing to you, too. --Merovingian (T, C) 15:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Peer review: Operation Camargue

I'll try to do it tomorrow. or Monday. Rather busy at the moment. --ROGER DAVIES  01:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I've just done a MoS copyedit. Tidying up mostly. I've changed the cite format (cos the two Windrops looked odd cited differently, and made the Times consistent); I've also done dates, times, conversions, and unit numbers for MoS compliance. These'll need checking as I may have missed some. It's a very good piece :) --ROGER DAVIES  09:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Pleasure! I'm tied up for much of today but I'll try to start the PR this arvo. Likeliest requests will concern the political/ideological background to the war, and expanding info about the guerrilla origins of the Viet-Minh. I also want to see what Viet-Cong poster child, Giap, says about it so I'll dig his book out. Oh, and POV issues, like referring to the VM as the enemy in non-quoted prose. --ROGER DAVIES  10:18, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I've given it a bit of a copy-edit and added a citation tag. Revert anything you don't like! Later, --ROGER DAVIES  11:06, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologies ... I'm aware my self-imposed deadline for the peer review has passsed. The truth is I got rather side-tracked yesterday reading up on the background :) I've promised a second pass of the Emily Dickinson peer review today and I'll return to Operation Camargue after that.--ROGER DAVIES  08:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

(outdent) I've (belatedly) scribbled down a few thoughts - mostly focused on getting to FA, as this seems your priority - which I hope you find helpful. Otherwise, I'm away from crack of dawn tomorrow for five days. --ROGER DAVIES  17:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

tramp records deletion

hi again, well, I admit that I first put some details in the listing which should not be there, you are totally right, it is an encyclopedia. but what my entry reads now is excatly the same many other label-listings read. now the listing is OK and a place within wikipedia is justified I think. please check "jazzman records", I almost copied the text. he has not been deleted but my listing was.

RE: Forward THREE, LE Wikiproject

Hello SSGH

How are you today? I was recently looking at the awards thing with all the lists of what you can do in the competition to get an award. I have created 5 articles but one was merged unbenknown to me I looked at it the other day and it was merged, so would that count still? Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) 17:06, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah seems fair to me, thanks. The merge is at Whistle if you scroll down to the police whistle section you'll see all the text I put in to the original article but I did write more. Also the merge was not discussed on the talk page of the article so I had no knowledge of it until one morning I woke up to see it merged, and in the history of Whistle you'll see evidence of the merge. Thanks Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) 14:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I also added my name and the articles I created at that page for the Forward THREE, I wasnt sure what I was supposed to add so I thought well if I add what I am going in for you cant go far wrong so I hope thats ok :) Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) 15:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

hello, thanks for your reply.

Hey SGGH, sorry I was sleeping when the request for unblock came in, but another admin (User:B) handled it (and declined). That spam link was being continually added by multiple accounts/IPs so the block was justifiable. Thanks for letting me know about the unblock though (even if I was sleeping haha).
