Editor coaching
Okay, I can give you editor coaching as well. Yes, I do recall coaching you in the past here and nominating you for RFA here. Again, I'm trying my coaching from a different angle, so why not give it another shot? I'll create a subpage like Gears of War's and we'll find out the best direction to take this coaching. I see you have gained a lot of experience since our paths last crossed, so we'll see how this goes. Useight (talk) 16:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, I created a subpage at User:Red Thunder/Editor Coaching. Since I'm trying a new angle, I started your subpage with the same four questions as Gears of War's, but I do expect that the two will head in different directions. Useight (talk) 16:37, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: RADWP
It hasn't been that active because I've been busy in real life. Wikipedia is a collaborative website, and you can help. You can do the whole one, but it would have to be in for me to review tonight.

Radio Wikipedia Re-Design
Hello , I, <em style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:DarkBlue">StewieGriffin!  • Talk Sign Listen, have redesigned the Radio Wikipedia main page. You may be interested in Radio_Wikipedia, as it details Who Reports When? and the current staff. I am sure you already know our uploading instructions, but that is there too. Just so you know: And before you reserve Tuesday, we have a new instruction. Anyway, Thanks and I look forward to your episode. <em style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:DarkBlue">StewieGriffin!  • Talk Sign Listen 21:22, 27 June 2008 (UTC) PS: I understand you know this, but remember a 3 Minute Show is the max.

 * Saturday 28 June 2008: Xenocidic
 * Sunday 29 June 2008: Red Thunder
 * Monday 30 June 2008: StewieGriffin!
 * Add a segment in when? By the way I would prefer ST doesn't do that type of segment, as I am preparing to tweak RWP, to a talk show style. I am sorry. <em style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:DarkBlue">StewieGriffin!  &bull; Talk Sign Listen 21:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Radio Wikipedia segments?
Hello! I hope this is not a silly question, but can Radio Wikipedia do phone-in segments? Or do contributors have to submit their input via digital files? I figured a phone-in segment would give the listener a conversation, which may be more interesting to listen to. Thanks. Ecoleetage (talk) 13:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I asked because I never did digital recording on my computer. I didn't know if it was possible to have the segment phoned in, which would enable two or more people to converse and do interviews.  Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 13:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pennant.ogg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Pennant.ogg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Red,

You don't need to have SG's permission to add stuff to iTunes. It's in the Public Domain. Anyone can do anything with it now. He holds no rights over it. I have been watching this debate with great interest: indeed I warned him about it in the early days. *sigh* I'm going to have to warn him over WP:OWN and also potentially for breaking copyright.

Anyhoo,

Thanks,

Reverting post on DC10
Hi, just wondering why the update on the DC10 article was reverted? The root causes of the accidents were design flaws that McDonnell Douglas knew about. That was one of the major reasons for the overall failure of DC10 during the early years. I think it is very helpful in describing the actual problem, and informing readers about the incident.

WP:HAU, Status, and you!
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot  22:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey dude. I've thought about it and if we can do an ESPN league. You or me can create it. You, me, maybe JJ, maybe MFC, have league admin powers. I just know that ESPN is amazing with football leagues. The main problem would be staying active.

New Podcast
I noticed you left Radio Wikipedia, and are intending to do your own podcast. I'd just like to remind you that I'm still interested in being a part of a WP Podcast of some sort, as long as it's a multi-person discussion. I'm not much for the single-person reporting style of RADWP. I actually just purchased a new voice recorder, as well as a new microphone, both albeit for other uses, but they could be used for a podcast. <span style="font-family:Lucida Calligraphy, sans-serif; color:DarkBlue">Mastrchf (t/c)20:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

 * News story in an audio form, right? I assume you mean I wouldn't neccessarily need to be on skype at the same time as everyone else if I was doing a standalone thing (with the time differences and all simultaneous skype might be difficult). Idea's so far; I was thinking of maybe a few minutes on what 2010's wikimania bids are looking like at the moment, maybe some congratulations for whatever admins have been promoted in the previous days (if any), general wiki-news and so on. I also have a vaguely amusing idea for an intro, but meh. Is this going to work as an alternative to StewieGriffin's show while he's AFK or will it continue afterwards? <b style="color:#D3D3D3">Ir</b><b style="color:#A9A9A9">on</b><b style="color:#808080">ho</b><b style="color:#696969">ld</b><b style="color:#000">s</b> 10:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Additional questions; when do you want the recording in by, who else is involved in the project, how are we getting the word out, do you want me to (vaguely) master it and improve the sound quality, so on. If we can get people on IRC (or more appropriately Skype) at the right time we could have a proper discussion about what's involved, although it's your baby. I sleep odd hours anyway, so if you want any live events or anything you need me involved in i'll probably be awake while you yanks are. Additional idea and a kind of divisive topic (read:good; a debate on age and adminship?). <b style="color:#D3D3D3">Ir</b><b style="color:#A9A9A9">on</b><b style="color:#808080">ho</b><b style="color:#696969">ld</b><b style="color:#000">s</b> 10:51, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest maybe 3 people max for any age debate to prevent it getting too heated (and also because more than 3 people talking on skype means people interrupt each other); one from each side, one in the middle to shut people up (I volunteer, I have mixed views on the debate). I was thinking maybe I first give an overview of how the discussion on the RfA talkpage worked out, then invite users X and X to give their views (similar to an actual news bulletin). I've encountered GoW and Shapiros before, and seen Xenocidic around; the other two I dont think i've even heard of. For the debate i'd say GoW (young, failed RfA partially from that) and, if possible maybe User:Cameron who has a differing view. User:David Fuchs is an example of an under-18 admin who's RfA did pass, so if you can get the other two to do it and feel that 4 is not pushing it for a discussion you could maybe get him in? I'd emphasise not bothering unless Cameron agree's, otherwise it's just two people with the same viewpoint debating. I'll try and clear my recording up before sending it over; apologies in advance for the accent. Can I make a request though, could you talk a bit faster in the 'cast? I just listened to the first one and it seemed a bit stilted, although that might just be my silly English take on things. <b style="color:#D3D3D3">Ir</b><b style="color:#A9A9A9">on</b><b style="color:#808080">ho</b><b style="color:#696969">ld</b><b style="color:#000">s</b> 11:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Request to reconsider adding BasilMarket.com to /wiki/MapleStory
Regarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapleStory, please reconsider adding BasilMarket.com (you stated rules #5, 11 as being issues). The site does not SELL anything physical. It simply allows you to LIST items you want to buy/sell IN GAME. So rule #5 does not apply. Secondly, I see absolutely no blog or personal web page on BasilMarket (rule #11). As a respected Maple Story community of over 4 years we work hard on providing a unique and useful site for users.

G'day Wiki-Updater!
...and whilst we sort of all fit that general description, I'm (of course) referring to your work in recording the like-named audio project! I thought I'd swing by and say hello, because I've been involved in the 'Not The Wikipedia Weekly' project - so we've both done some work in getting people talking and listening!

I wondered if you might want to come along to a Skype based discussion at some point - both just to generally hang out (because it's quite cool to do so!) - but also maybe to talk about how we might work together, and how we might be able to support each others' efforts etc. - if you pop along to our 'homepage' you'll find a link to a public Skype chat which is pretty active most of the time - or you can just add me as a Skype contact (ID Privatemusings) and I could introduce you to whoever's around!

Re: Tropical cyclones
Actually, many of our articles are no where near our quality standard (typically FA!). If you want to take on a large project, stop on by Category:Stub-Class Tropical cyclone articles or Category:Start-Class Tropical cyclone articles and pick an article at random, or you can look at the C and B-class categories if your looking for more of a copyedit-then-GAN piece of work. As an example, it would be nice to have something like Tropical Storm Cindy (1993) expanded with some French sources, or you could work on a retired hurricane article like Hurricane Donna.

Strong Bad
It would probably be better to focus on the main article instead of just one single character. Pretty much everything about Strong Bad is going to be directly related to the main site in some way. Instead of just having a small spin-off article, focusing everything on to the main article could get it to reach FA status fairly quickly. Some slight restructuring, more sources, and some cleanup would help it greatly. TTN (talk) 21:12, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I am currently still developing the article, and I do believe that it will warrant enough information relevant to the character to keep the article, as Strong Bad is probably the most notable character of the site. Red  Thunder  23:44, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * There is no doubt that its the most popular character on the site, but it is still just a part of it rather than a topic that separates itself. You haven't added much reception information yet, so I can't really comment on that, but the creation information will need to be shared between the two. That is sort of redundant in the long run.

I know it's been very short, but I think I've got the hang of things now, and I recently gained rollback. So I was wondering if I could take a "final test" to graduate or something, and if I passed it, if I could move up to admin coaching. I'm also going to send this to my other adopter.
