User talk:Andouble

Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more, Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly, Tutorial is more in-depth, and Topical index is exhaustive. The following links might also come in handy: Glossary FAQ Help Manual of Style Five Pillars of Wikipedia Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Translation into English and Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Help desk. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 18:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Simpsons' Picture
Hi Andouble,

You posted the picture on the right with a link to the The Old Man and the Lisa episode. But I believe this a picture of the mathemagician from Martin's party in the Grade School Confidential episode. As such, I have removed it from the List of The Simpsons episodes page. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for your work on Wikipedia so far.

Junior Players
I admire your enthusiasm, but is there really any point to creating articles about junior hockey players? Take Evan McGrath for example, I myself am a Kitchener Rangers fan, but I am skeptical about if he will even make the NHL. He is a fourth round draft pick, and did not make the Canadian Junior Team either in his senior year, as well. My point is, if we start trying to make articles about all the junior players, we are wasting energy that could be put to better use into improving our NHL player articles that we already have, or better yet, creating new articles about NHL players that haven't been created yet (and there are tons of those).

Junior players might not be considered notable enough to be in an encyclopedia, because there are even hundreds of junior stars in any given year. I would like to hear your own thoughts on this.

As well, when you create hockey articles, don't forget to add the WikiProject Ice Hockey template on the talk page, as I did on the Boris Valabik article. Croat Canuck  03:48, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Double Linking
Just a little notice, there is no need to link things twice and in fact it is discouraged to be providing more than one link to the same article (ie. NCAA, and then linking to NCAA later on), Why? I'm not entirely sure, but that doesn't mean there isn't a reason. Its just I noticed that you were putting multiple links to leagues in the honours and awards sections of players. Keep up the good work! Croat Canuck  02:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

International Play
Hey. Your contribs are great, but I think you misunderstand what the "International Play" section was meant for in the player articles. I think it meant for IIHF sanctioned international tournaments like the World Championships and the Olympics and not for intranational play that just happens to be in a country not the US or Canada. ccwaters 16:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Agents Wanted To Help Investigate The X-Files
Hello, I noticed your interest in X-Files. I'm a member of the [X-Files Wiki]. Our community is small and needs alot of work, unlike Star Trek, Star Wars and over over-populated Wikias we are crying out for content and help not cutting, deleting and mercilessly re-editing. I wonder if you'd like to help?

We have alot of tidying and re-structuring to do on X-Files articles on regular Wikipedia also. If you'd like to discuss how you could help any further, give me a shout. Thanks!
 * I WANT to believe.

Junior B Teams
Hello, a user has decided that he does not want us placing hockey stubs on Wikipedia to expand later into teams. In particular he doesn't like Junior teams... I was wondering if you could please voice your opinion. Articles for deletion/Thunder Bay Northern Hawks DMighton 01:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

AfD Nomination Maggie's Revenge
I've nominated the article Maggie's Revenge for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Maggie's Revenge satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Maggie's Revenge. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Maggie's Revenge during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. -- MOE .RON  talk  21:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:BBoyes.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BBoyes.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Notability of Trevor Crowe
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Trevor Crowe, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Trevor Crowe seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Trevor Crowe, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Trevor Crowe itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 05:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Research into the user pages of Wikipedians: Invitation to participate
Greetings,

My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.

I would like to include your Wikipedia user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Wikipedia present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?

With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.

I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.

Thank-you,

John-Paul Mcvea
