Cam Henderson Center
I have responded to your request for an image of the arena. It ain't the prettiest photo of the exterior (the parking garage from which an excellent photo could be taken is locked for the summer), but it shoudl work for demonstrative purposes. As far as an interior shot, I'll see what I can do when hoops season starts up next winter. Just remind me.  young american (talk) 19:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: K's welcome
Tnx - I'll try it out soon.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 03:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK you two...I will try Ashlux's welcome to see how and why mine is now inferior. Heh. Kinda amusing to have ya discussing it. Of course anyone can simply copy it and make it their own as did Ash Lux. For some reason, when I used it, it did not come out the way I wanted it to...a sig was above it and not inside it. Then again, I am no programmer by ANY stretch of the imagination. Oh...and I am glad that others do value welcoming new members in with a good welcome. Thanks for doing that!!! I really believe it can make a difference in our community. Kukini 03:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It is weird it wasn't working, but it might have been the ParserFunctions (which are gone now). Apparently they can cause trouble if you subst them (but why it worked fine for me and others, I have no idea).  If it is still a problem for you Kukini, use it on my talk page - maybe seeing what the results are will help.  Your welcome looks great, of course.  Very good job on it. -- Ash Lux ( talk 12:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It has been upgraded with your fix as well as one from another editor now. Thanks! I think I might look into adjusting its colors at some point as well. Kukini 13:09, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In order to shorten the memory requirements, can we move the template into mainspace, for example as Template:WelcomeKA? Then we could use .--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk  17:31, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Freenode link for WP:1.0
Hi Ashlux,

Thanks for adding a link to the freenode page from the WP:1.0 page, I was wondering where I could find that. However, the link doesn't work. Can you fix it? I'm assuming I don't need to register or anything just to read freenode, do I? Thanks, Walkerma 02:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If you are running windows, probably the easiest thing to do is to install mIRC. There are other clients out there, but I think mIRC will automatically support the IRC protocol within IE (it doesn't seem to handle it by default in firefox though).  If you still have troubles, let me know. -- Ash Lux ( talk 03:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you added some of the Oklahoma-related pages I have created to WikiProject Oklahoma. Please feel free to check my User page's "List of Articles I Have Created" for other pages that may be of interest to WikiProject Oklahoma. --TommyBoy 06:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's a nice list of things I didn't already have on that list. Never hurts to put a few more OK-related articles in (at least my own) RC patrol.  Keep up the good work too! =) -- Ash Lux ( talk 12:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

OK stub creation
I was trying to find something about the history of The Gayly Oklahoman, but could not. Thus it is currently a rather brief stub. Just trying to stay active in the wikiproject. Thanks for your ongoing help in the AZ one as well as your welcome message support and so forth. Kukini 13:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Your welcome. When my gf gets back from Italy, she said she has some sources that should help (OU's GLBT club has some of their papers that detail their history). -- Ash Lux ( talk 13:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Project Crossover?
Check this Oklahoma Native out: Ernest McFarland. I am amazed at how few Arizona Governors were actually born in Arizona. Kukini 03:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yah, I went ahead and add the WP:WPOK banner to the talk page and added him to the related-changes page. Any idea just how many Arizona governors were born in the state? -- Ash Lux</b> ( talk 13:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * *sighs* Well, I was trying to add the bottom of the article that got cut off.  Copy and pasted the bottom from a previous article as not to revert edits since the article was cut off, but when I hit save the page was entirely gone.  :-( Anyone got any suggestions? Maybe there are some browser issues with FF or something? -- <b style="color:#ff4800;">Ash Lux</b> ( talk 12:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

James E. Edmondson
I noticed that you have previously edited the article on James E. Edmondson, and I was wondering if I could get your opinion on something. I have initiated a discussion on whether his daughter Sarah Edmondson should be mentioned in the article. See Talk:James E. Edmondson foe details and share any thoughs you have on the issue at that Talk page. --TommyBoy 16:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome template
Hi, I wanted to suggest that you merge your welcome template with the other 2, to prevent redundancy/duplication.

User:Kukini/Welcome just had a colour update, and I've suggested to Kukini that he should replace welcomeg with his version, as the only difference is the intro paragraph. As Kukini seems to have added an auto-signature, the colour scheme is the only difference between your two templates.

(So essentially, once (if) Kukini merges his template to welcomeg, I'm suggesting you both just redirect to that one.)

Hope that sounds good. :) --Quiddity· (talk) 18:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Please see further discussion/explanation at User talk:Kukini/Welcome. Thanks :) --Quiddity· (talk) 22:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

User:Ashlux/Userboxes/Libertarian
I see you created a user box for Libertarians. Which I think is great. Wouldnt it be better if you put (Libertarian Party US) instead of Libertarian. Dont get me wrong I think you did a great job. John R G 04:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome template suggestion
I saw and I liked - suggest enriching our welcome with the parts below. Note that leaving message needs to be personalize so it goes to the right page.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 01:04, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

PS: This is not a bot and you did nothing to prompt this message. This is just a friendly welcome by a fellow Wikipedian.

Strawberry Panic! archived?
SP! became a GA before the review was started, so I've attempted to unarchive it, as the goal of the peer review was not a pre-GA lookover, but rather, a pre-FA lookover. I understand the main editor of the article wants to take it as far as he can - FA or bust! -Malkinann 21:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Oklahoma State Cowboys Wrestling
Thank you for your attempt to improve this article. You mentioned in your edit replacing the info box with one for a completely different sport, "I know it's CBB, but it works for what we need it for". I emphasized the we because it wasn't obvious who it was that you reached consensus with. For the time being, I've reverted it. If you feel the basketball box is more appropriate for a wrestling article or if there is an issue here I don't understand, please come back with your suggestion so the community can reach some sort of consensus.

 * A better option would be to just start a new infobox, but there's no need to maintain 2 infoboxes with virtually the same information :-) -- <b style="color:#ff4800;">Ash Lux</b> ( talk 13:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

That's a good idea. The box with info originally on the page is used in several other wrestling articles. Perhaps I'll look into making a formal infobox out of it today. Johnn 7 14:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like i beat you to it, see Infobox College Wrestling Team. -- <b style="color:#ff4800;">Ash Lux</b> ( talk 17:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * What is the difference between that template and Infobox college athletics? I could very easily make the fields in that template optional and so they won't show up if they are blank.↔<span style="font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; font-family:verdana, sans-serif;">NMajdan &bull;<span style="font-size:9px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; color:#000000;">talk 17:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Infobox college athletics seems more pointed toward the athletic program as a whole whereas both Infobox CBB Team and Infobox College Wrestling Team are more specific to a team with variables such as national championships, final four appearance, current coach, etc. Neither sport is played in a stadium, but an arena.  Things like mascot and fight song isn't really appropriate for a team's page (both basketball and wrestling templates have team colors, and I'm not sure there's a good reason for it and maybe should be removed).  No doubt Infobox college athletics could be forced to be appropriate for wrestling, basketball, baseball, etc. but usually forcing numerous cases like this into a single template is not a good idea to keep them maintainable and usable.  -- <b style="color:#ff4800;">Ash Lux</b> ( talk 19:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I always thought that if we could user one template/infobox for multiple applications, that was preferable. How often would these need to be "maintained?" I don't think the parameters will change. Maybe I'll try to work on a universal template in my spare time and see what I can come up with.↔<span style="font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; font-family:verdana, sans-serif;">NMajdan &bull;<span style="font-size:9px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; color:#000000;">talk 20:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There is a line where it can be too coarse-grained to be useful and maintainable (a gigantic infobox for colleges, sports teams, newspapers, ...) and where it can be too fine-grained to be practical (seperate infoboxes for *everything*). Combining Infobox CBB Team and Infobox College Wrestling Team with Infobox college athletics is most certainly too course-grained.  Men's and women's college basketball are related enough that having a single infobox for them makes sense. Here's a partial list of infoboxes you are proposing combining into one huge infobox: NLL Team Infobox, Infobox CBB Team, Infobox College Wrestling Team, baseball (I can't find a template, but LSU Tigers baseball has something similar), NCAAFootballSchool, MLL Team Infobox, Infobox Swim team, AFL team, NFLE team, NBADL team, NBA team, Infobox National football team, Infobox Football club, Cycling team infobox, Minor league team, ... In my opinion, each of those are likely sufficiently different to warrant their own infobox (About the only thing each of those infoboxes have in common is a name).  -- <b style="color:#ff4800;">Ash Lux</b> ( talk 21:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I do not intend on combining all those into one. The only reason I say these three (athletics, CBB, Wrestling) could be one is because their layout is already very similar. I went ahead and took a stab at combining the three. Take a look at User:Nmajdan/Template1. And the coding is still pretty much the same. I made all the fields optional; I added a couple fields to the main area that the CBB and Wrestling infoboxes had that the Athletics one did not (coach, capacity), and added the parts at the bottom inside a simple switch statement. Still very easy to maintain.↔<span style="font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; font-family:verdana, sans-serif;">NMajdan &bull;<span style="font-size:9px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; color:#000000;">talk 21:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
