Wikification of color

Thanks for your work on the Color article. I saw the wikification template and did a few little things, tweaking the image tags mostly, and then you came along and took care of the rest. Thanks! Phidauex 04:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Sonic Fandom

Hey dude I'm just letting you know that I've added to the Sonic Fandom article with all the knowledge that I have. See my userpage or the article itself. Anyway, let's hope that someone else could add to the topic, it's got potential to be a biggie!(StrikerST 21:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC))

Null edit at Template talk:Fact

What happened here? Just wondering, Ardric47 01:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

That's...very strange. I have noticed that null edits are apparently still used in some situations (even though they're not supposed to be necessary), which is why I asked. Ardric47 01:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Turn It Up (Ben Bailey-Smith song)

Hello, I noticed you just deleted Turn It Up (Ben Bailey-Smith song). I visited the article from Special:NewPages and managed to catch the original editor adding {{CurrentSingles}} to the page. Since music on the charts is notable, you may want to undo the deletion and replace {{db-context}} with {{expand}}. Of course, if you did see that change and still feel justified in deleting it, don't bother and let it stay deleted. --DavidHOzAu 02:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll wager that it's not actually a charting single. It's part of a web of articles I just speedied, all about some band supposedly discovered by a talent search TV program, and supposedly with an album and singles out. However the TV program doesn't exist, nor does the company that is said to have made the TV show, nor does the record label they are releasing their album on. --bainer (talk) 02:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Ahh, okay, you obviously know what you're doing. The article can stay deleted. --DavidHOzAu 02:31, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Steve Irwin

need source "for deady sea creatures"...quick — Preceding unsigned comment added by I already forgot (talk • contribs)

I heard it on A Current Affair tonight. I would use {{cite visual}}, but I didn't catch the title. --DavidHOzAu 09:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

You can also view the article here. You'll need to use internet explorer to view the video. --DavidHOzAu 09:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages logo

Hello, David! Could you please reply to my most recent message regarding this issue at Misplaced Pages talk:Village pump (proposals)/Sidebar redesign#Logo of the redesign? I'm eager to understand the situation. Thank you! —David Levy 23:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

How to create guidelines

Hi there! I noticed your opinion that we need a more formal system for creating guidelines and policy. I can see some benefits to that (at least, it would eliminate quite a lot of confusion) but it also goes against our wikiflexibility. At any rate, the best approach would be to draw up a sensible way of making a rule, and getting discussion on that. For reference, I should point out that the French Misplaced Pages has such a system, including voting on policy proposals (try Babelfish if you don't speak French). I'd be happy to give feedback. However, please realize that until (and if) you get such a system in place, it remains an accepted practice here to write down common practice and call it "guideline" - and people are free to try and change common practice if they disapprove of it, and the guideline will follow suit if they succeed.
