Hey FireFox
Hey son, we haven't talked in a while, so I wanted to drop by and see how you've been, and to ask how Maid Stone is going :P. Anyhow, I miss the chats on IRC, hope to talk to you soon. K O S |  talk  19:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * * wave* =) I'm fine, how are you? I might be on IRC soon, during the Christmas Holidays... I've just been very busy with school and everything at the moment. — FireFox  ( talk ) 19:28, 02 December 2006
 * I'll look forward to that! :) K O S  |  talk  20:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for assistance
Hi. User:Mike Selinker asked if I would see if I could find a bot owner willing to help with a "blizzard" of recently closed nominations at WP:UCFD. I saw your bot listed Categories for discussion/Working, and thought I would ask : ) - jc37 18:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's been a long time since I operated the bot, it's not set up to do that sort of stuff at the moment :( sorry. — FireFox  ( talk ) 19:28, 02 December 2006
 * Ok, thanks anyway : ) - jc37 23:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello FireFox, you welcomed me to the Wikipedia a while back and told me to leave a message if I had any concerns. I have come across a page that I feel is probably a hoax. The author has added some references in response to the hoax tagged (which was removed by the auther), but the information is dubious at best. Since you are more experienced, can you please take a look at Michael Muldoon or suggest what steps I should take? Thanks, Shadowin 22:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. I contact someone on MySpace from that area and asked them if a Muldoon played for Ardboe. Sure, enough there had been. Some of the claims seem to be a little strange and outlandish, but I guess it's all within the realm of possibility. Perhaps I was too hotheaded and should have contacted people in the region before questioning the veracity of the article. I'll keep this in mind in the future because the contributor thought I had a vendetta to have it deleted. - Shadowin 00:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Please learn from your past mistakes
The article Gay Nigger Association of America, which you improperly speedy kept, denying hundreds of thousands of users the chance to have their say, has now been deleted with the endorsment of Jimmy Wales himself. I hope you will reflect on your conduct and resolve not to deny users a chance to express their legitimate opinion in the future. Cloachland 01:57, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The AfD I speedy closed last time was merely weeks after the previous one. That was months ago. I am not here to argue with you, even if you try your utmost hardest to pick one. — FireFox  ( talk ) 18:06, 13 December 2006

Psychostick
Hi Firefox, I've been doing more WP edits lately and need some help. I wonder if you could suggest what should be done with this band article. The article is a mess and the bulk of it (the biography section) was lifted straight from the band's web site (the section header even says so). It's probably a candidate for AfD but I don't want to get people too upset if I can help it. Should I add a copyvio tag? I don't know if it is actually violating the band's copyright, or if they would even care; they're probably happy to have the publicity. I'm beginning to add NPOV, copyedit, advert tags etc. to articles when I think it's appropriate. Is there some tag which means basically "this article is a pile o' crap"; i.e. flags articles of poor quality? I'm not even sure if the article is coherent enough to be described as POV (or advertising); it's just cruft. I could delete the biography section and probably start an edit war or nominate the article for AfD. I would be grateful for your suggestions. MarkBrooks 13:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If it's copied straight from a website, it's a copyright violation. Either blank the article and replace with the copyvio tag, or remove the copied bits and leave the rest (assuming not all of it was copied). Hope this helps. — FireFox  ( talk ) 18:08, 13 December 2006


 * OK then, I'll remove the biography section as it is the main offender. Thanks for your help. MarkBrooks 18:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Mock exam results...
Remembering out conversation about GCSEs (and whether I would beat you...), here are my mock results:

I don't think I'll beat you :P Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?) 21:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Those results are good :) Well done. — FireFox  ( talk ) 17:40, 14 December 2006
 * I'm really disappointed with getting Bs in subjects. Being depressed recently didn't help either. I've also updated my German and Chemistry results Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?) 18:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

You have put yourself as interested in helping out atWikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested?

308th Bombardment Wing article
Dear Kevin,

I spotted an error on the 308th Bombardment Wing article. It should be titled "308th Bombardment Group". The 308th Bombardment WING was an organization in the 5th Air Force that fought from New Guinea to the Philippines. My father was in the 308th BW in WWII so I caught the error. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.106.165.92 (talk) 02:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC).
 * Who's Kevin? I see now, I think you meant to leave this message here instead. Thanks, — FireFox  ( talk ) 11:10, 30 December 2006
