Notes

to do

The Market

I've summed up the state of the article as I see it at Talk:Pike Place Market#State of the rewrite, redux. Seems to me that the one big undone task is the one you took on (the history). I may still putter around the article (I indicate several small things I plan to do), but you were the one who set the goal of making this a featured article, and I think I've basically done my part of the substantive work. - Jmabel | Talk 19:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

You planning to get back to this at all? It's been a couple of weeks without an edit from you in the article or a comment on the talk page. - Jmabel | Talk 23:05, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I am this month, sorry. I've been distracted by some IRL things and have been spending time doing stuff related to whats coming up on Nov 4th. I'll be back at full speed soon. :) rootology (C)(T) 06:09, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Country Music

This project is really dead is it not? Any idea how we can get it going again? None of us seems to be particularly stellar article writers, and as a result, we have virtually no country music articles that are even B-class. I see you have my own little sub-project on your to-do list, but do you think we could recruit some other people to help? Even two writers working together will never plow through the utter pile of crap that most of the country music articles have become. And yet things like Metallica get effortlessly to FA because everybody loves heavy metal. </sarcasm> Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 22:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

My IP edit

Hi,

Recently you flagged a unconstructive edit to a wiki page about a television show. The edit supposedly came from my IP. I got a message when I went on wikipedia today about it. Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:173.89.4.193&redirect=no The thing is, no one in my household made the edit, and now I am worried about the security on my network. I was wondering if you know if there is a known issue that would explain this. I know it wasn't just my IP changing because I host a website and if my IP changed it would disrupt my services. I'm not used to talking over wiki so if you could respond by email that would be great, unless you know that I will get a new message notification through wikipedia when it reads my ip. Anyways, my email is matt att halenka dotcom. I deliberitely wrote my email strangely to fool spambots. Hope it works! Thanks.

I'll reply on your IP talk page; if I don't hear back from you in a couple days I'll mail you. rootology (C)(T) 06:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Garratt Lane

The initial entry was intended to be enlarged and I am working this. There are three areas at the moment; the Wandsworth museum, the cementaries, and an example of the developement of London's public transport. I have stopped the re-edit pending a visit to London in the spring (I live now in Canada) when I hope to be able to make further additions.

I have stated my objection to the proposed deletion as requested.

Why?

Can you please consider taking a less combative attitude to my edits? See User_talk:Jossi#Edits_to_WP:NPA. The fact that you may not agree with me in some issues, does not mean that you need to follow me around and undo my contributions. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 19:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
