Working together
Hi, If 2012 Maine earthquake got deleted, and Portal:Nazi Germany is on ice, is there anything else you'd like to collaborate on? bobrayner (talk) 21:52, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd very, very much like to keep going on Portal:NG; the reason I removed the notice is because, well, like the Main Page, it works off a series of templates done on the back-end. My enthusiasm is waning, as work continues to take a beating on me (and with Hurricane Sandy, I'm sure there's a lot to catch up on), but working with someone else is bound to bring some of that back. If there's one project I'd like to work on, it's definitely that. If Articles-proper are more your speed, I also wouldn't mind sprucing up 2012 New England Revolution season, now that the season is over. I did most of the maintenance-style edits to that page, game reports and what-have-you, but generally such a page has a month-by-month breakdown of the major events. My prose writing isn't the best (which is why my only assessed work is Portals), but that's something that really needs to get done. Either, honestly, works for me. Having a collaborator will give me the impetus I need to finish either piece. Achowat (talk) 03:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Antonio Smith
My amendment to Antonio Smith's page referred to his well-known nickname "Ninja Assassin". (I would encourage you to google "Antonio Smith Ninja Assassin")

I would like to refer you to a precedent in these matters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Lane_%28American_football%29

I believe that pointing out his nickname is constructive as his self-ascribed moniker is an important part of his act as an entertainer and athlete. (He does a "ninja slash" after every sack and created a lengthy youtube video describing his fictional persona). It certainly does no harm to the article reader, but purposely erasing the information does as it omits important information about the individual.

Your edit was a net loss for wikipedia, Antonio Smith, the Houston Texans organization, and football fans everywhere.

Good day to you, sir. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.163.240.98 (talk) 14:16, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I can't seem to find any reliable source for "Ninja Assassin" being a nickname for Smith. I've seen These Two sources refer to the dance as the "Ninja Assassin Slash of Death", and This self-published source that he calls himself Ninja Assassin, but not a single Reliable, Secondary Source Independent of the Subject, as is required by WP:Verifiability. If you can find those sources, feel free to cite them and add them to Smith's page. But it appears that the Secondary Sources refer to the dance, not the dancer, as "Ninja Assassin Slash of Death".

Thank you
Thank you for the barnstar. That was kind of you : ) - jc37 15:44, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

 * That close was going to be tough, and you had the balls to step up and say "Yeah, people will be pissed at whoever closes this thing, let them be pissed at me". The warrants recognition. Good on ya. Achowat (talk) 15:45, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I did not set correctly the bot to archive. Greeting! --Kolega2357 (talk) 19:25, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd slap a db-user on the top and see if an Admin thinks that this situation falls under G7. Achowat (talk) 19:32, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

That belongs to exactly to G7. I'm no good here, the best so if you can please delete it. --Kolega2357 (talk) 20:02, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not an Admin, so the best I can do is try to help you. Just copy and paste  onto the top of that page, and we'll see if a passing Admin does think this situation falls into G7. Achowat (talk) 20:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

 * It was vandalism, it was racist, and it was entirely unacceptable for an encyclopedia. If you want to contribute constructively, feel free. But don't do that again. Achowat (talk) 02:07, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Boomtown Rats, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Wave (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

User page
I see that your user page gets frequent IP vandalism. Would you like the page semi-protected? JamesBWatson (talk) 22:22, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No thanks, honestly. I fully believe that my User Page is only one page as part of the project that anyone can edit. The IP Vandalism is easy enough to deal with; and if people are going to vandalize, I'd rather it be a back-end page like my user page than an actual article. Thanks, though.
