Yeah, it's late. Better than never, though. DS 14:34, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Adding categories
Hi you recently added to Bandolier (journal) a category markedup as  . The term after the category name seems to set the basis for how the article is sorted and alphabetically placed into the category listing. In this case therefore 'Bandolier (journal)' was placed under the letter 'M' ( as set by the 'Medical journals' field).

I've changed this to   and so 'Bandolier (journal)' now appears under 'B' in its correct alphabetical order. David Ruben Talk 12:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Removing the uncat tag is highly unuseful especially if not all the categories needed are present. For the fact, his birth & death category weren't added. I will do so but in the future be sure to double-check that everything has been done before removing a tag without doing any job on the article. Lincher 22:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, and a second point on the same matter but pertaining to other categorization you do, make sure they are thoroughly categorized before removing the tag or this just creates more job for everybody else (re-finding the almost-uncategorized article, re-tagging it, re-categorizing it).

List of vehicles in Faces of war
You seem to have blanked this article (removed all content) in an attempt to delete it. Blanking articles does not delete them. If you want an article deleted, there are three main processes: In this case, proposed deletion (usually abbreviated to 'prod') is probably the way to go; place &#123;{subst:prod}} at the top of the page, and if nobody disagrees for five days, it will be deleted. I'll unblank the article, and let you prod it yourself if you still think it should be deleted. --ais523 09:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy deletion, which only applies in a limited number of special cases (and cannot be used here)
 * Proposed deletion, for uncontroversial deletions
 * Articles for deletion, for controversial deletions

The Last Supper: Live at Hammerstein Ballroom
Please note that I only added one "uncat tag" to the article in question, not "3 or 4" as you claimed. The tag that stated very few articles linked to it was already on the page. I do not see why you would be upset about an "uncat tag" being added through AWB to an article that in fact was uncategorized. Please refrain from making falsely inflated admonishments in the future.

USS Phelps (DD-360)
I've removed USS Phelps (DD-360) from the cat Category:United States Navy ships. She's already in Category:Porter class destroyers, which is in Category:Destroyers of the United States Navy which is in Category:United States Navy ships. No need to have her there twice. I realize that she's buried a bit, but so are hundreds of other ships. This is the way we've chosen to categorize. If you'd like to propose a change, please do so at WikiProject Ships. Thanks.

Bot adding uncat on user pages?
Not guilty: at least I hope not. If you look at the history of User:Alicelewis, you'll notice that it was tagged while in the article space, and then "userfied". So my bot was doing as well as could be expected, at least in that case. Alai 07:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry I couldn't figure out what the hell the article was about and was tired as hell =\, thanks for updating it for me =]

Re: thanks

 * It's a useful utility, though I did have to be careful with it until I got used to it. :) They've recently updated it. -- 健次 (derumi)talk 20:01, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Curtis Willkie
A template has been added to the article Curtis Willkie, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with db-author. KenWalker | Talk 15:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Your RFA
Hi, I closed your RFA early per WP:SNOW. I understand that having an RFA end as unsuccessful can cause some stress (see Requests for adminship/Sasha Callahan), so if you need help with anything, feel free to contact me. ~Sasha Callahan (Talk) 22:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello Oliver, don't be too downhearted on this one! I'm sure if you look hard at people's reasons for opposing, you'll see what is needed to make a future RfA succeed; I don't think anyone thought you were unsuitable, just lacking in experience yet. And that can easily be put right. Best wishes - Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk to me)  23:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, O keyes. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. βcommand 14:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
