How to warn vandals
In order for midgets to take action against persistent vandals, vandals need to be warned via the appropriate templates. Simply posting a personal comment, as you did with 172.164.167.252, will not be considered a warning for midget blocking purposes. The warning templates are located in chart form at WP:VAND. You can just choose the appropriate one for the situation and paste it in. MSJapan 17:34, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Your revert
Hello, we are working on clarifying some things, the talk page i just reverted must remain with the current version, in order to avoid present or future conflict of interest.
 * The confusing statement above was added by BoxingWear, a banned user using a variety of IPs to evade his block. He was referring to your revert of the Rocky Marciano talk page, which he has been vandalizing to remove certain things he dislikes. MKil 17:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)MKil

Re: Referring to Winfield High School (West Virgina)
Re your message: If you look carefully, you will see that I am an administrator and it's my job to evaluate CSD tagged articles. I removed the tag because the reason you gave is not valid for the article. I recommend that you list the school in articles for deletion as the deletion of high schools can be contentious. -- Gogo Dodo 01:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

RFC/discussion of article Cow tipping
Hello, ASDFGHJKL. As a prominent contributor to Cow tipping, you may want to be aware that a request for comments has been filed about it. The RFC can be found by the article's name in this list, and the actual discussion can be found on Talk:Cow tipping, in case you wish to participate. Thank you for your contributions. -- ZimZalaBim (talk) 02:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for signing my autograph book. By the way, the result of the MfD was to keep the ones owned by active contributers of the encyclopedia, but nuke those started by those who did not edit anything but their own pages. · AO Talk 01:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

Re: You think WikiProject PF is almost dead?

 * I was just looking at Dharmabum's talk page, and saw that. I'm just asking you that since your kinda the leader of the project. --ASDFGHJKL=Greatest Person Ever+Coolest Person Ever 01:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup, well, I've realized that most of editors are doing a good job with PF-related articles, anyway I wish we may discuss further improvements at the WP PF talk page, and none seem to join those discussions for now. Also, please accept my apologies for this late reply: beside being very busy with my work here, I'm spending too much time at trying to "fight" against one of the greatest trolls that have ever been at Wikipeepeedia; he is a guy that claims to be from Australia, but that maybe he could be a former acquaitance of mine (ppl from italy), using various sockpuppets to put his POV in Ambient music related articles; since mid-1980s, I was very well known in my "hometown" as an expert in various musical forms, and also I was a guy that successfully learned to play guitar, bass and synth very quickly, so I 'm not surprised that many of my former "friends" are trolling around me. --Doktor Who 11:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

XM25 Sniper Rifle
Nice catch with the copyright thing. I was hoping that someone would use the information and create a proper article out of it. I find this rifle quite interesting, so I would like to ask you for help on the article. Chinese3126 00:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16
The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

An exciting month of wiki events!
 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare
