Tuned mass damper
Hi I see you are asking for an expert to look at it. What are the problems? There's a lot of fan-crud in there but that doesn't need an expert to delete it. Greg Locock (talk) 07:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I just changed the tag... after all, I am a [Wikipedia:WikiGnome|WikiGnome]]... I was just specializing the tag... should I not do that? PwnerELITE (talk) 03:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank You
Thank you for the barnstar, I am sorry for not getting to you sooner. I have been busy. Rgoodermote  02:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

RfA Coaching
Greetings, I just noticed that you had a request for Admin Coaching on the Admin Coaching Page. I have removed the request because you are not ready to become an admin. Please see the general guidelines for what most people are looking for in an admin here or my guidelines. If you don't know what your edit history looks like, please check out Kate's Tool. I encourage you to come back to the coaching page when you get closer to being qualified for adminship.Balloonman (talk) 05:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations!
You found my secret page, and I am supposed to "reward" you, so have a small waste of bandwidth! aliasd·U·T 00:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

ACW task force
You don't appear to have joined it, although they do cite you in the main page. If I were you, I would join it (unless you are the leader or something). —Preceding unsigned comment added by PwnerELITE (talk • contribs) 22:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not much of a joiner. I watch the project page, but I rarely see much action going on there. Hal Jespersen (talk) 23:00, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I respect that, but I still think that you should join... if it appears inactive, then maybe you could lead it? PwnerELITE (talk) 23:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I have little interest in the bureaucracy and administrivia of things like this. When I'm not spending time reverting vandalism, I'd prefer to devote my Wikipedia time to write or improve notable articles, not shuffle around categories or rate others' articles. Wikipedia is becoming way too complex for the average person to tackle. I'm a computer guy, so I can survive the coding and procedural jungle, but I see all this bureaucracy as a true barrier that many people will not choose to cross. Hal Jespersen (talk) 23:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the Tireless barnstar. I do get pretty tired sometimes, though. :-) Hal Jespersen (talk) 14:25, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Removed speedy deletion notice from Ubuntu
I've removed the speedy deletion notice that you put on Ubuntu, and replaced it with the redirect to Ubuntu (disambiguation) that was there before. I am confused as to why you thought it needed to be deleted; although there is discussion going on as to whether there is a primary topic for the disambiguation for "Ubuntu", we definitly need Ubuntu to direct users to the disambiguation page in one way or another. -- Nataly a 03:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, with the requested move, I sort of get it now. Apologies for the confusion.  We could do the move now, but I was holding off on fixing it until the discussion was resolved, just to that if more things get changed, we don't have to change it multiple times.  But, if it is really felt as necessary, I can go head and do it now. -- Nataly a  03:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like someone got it taken care of. :) -- Nataly a 11:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

School stubs
Yeah, I'll use that template next time!

BTW for the schools in Louisiana I cannot take photos of them since I'm in Texas. I am willing to take photos of schools in the Houston area, though :) WhisperToMe (talk) 06:17, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Adminship
I was considering nominating you for adminship. You seem fit enough, and sysop powers would only help you. Please contact me with more info, including whether you do or do not wish to be an admin, on my talk page. PwnerELITE (talk) 23:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but no. There have been an amazingly small number of times in which I would've used admin power to accomplish something. Also, I limit myself to writing articles on one particular topic and I have none of the background in all of the Wikipedia general purpose forums that I would need to be credible as a candidate. (I recently looked at a nomination for another person and was astonished at how much procedure has crept into this process. It used to be that someone would say "I've edited 2000 articles" and he would be anointed on the spot. :-)) Hal Jespersen (talk) 23:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Redirect on 6M
The redirect on 6M is there because under some of the PAO symbols on cosmetics it has 6M or 12M or 24M etc. When I first tried to figure out what the symbol meant the only thing I could search was 6M or 12M etc. If you have another article that you want 6M to redirect to you could set up a disambiguation page. --Trounce (talk) 15:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Weightlessness
Hi! Would you be willing to read over my edits at Spaceflight to see if it summarizes the topic in a way that makes sense to you? For example, do you think it needs to mention the "zero gravity" term at all? Feedback here (I'll watchlist this page) or at Talk:Spaceflight would be greatly appreciated!

Please update your status with WP:VG
Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or User WPVG somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
 * Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
 * Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Revival of WikiProject Music theory
Hello Ninja Wizard, I am attempting to revive WikiProject Music theory. I hope you will be able to participate in the project.

Pioneers in Engineering
I'm concerned with your recent removal of the G12 CSD on the above noted article. Your edit summary states, "Doesn't meet criteria for speedy deletion; pioneers website is CC BY SA", however, this is not a true statement. I would appreciate some insight into your rationale for removing the CSD template from the article. What's up? Cindy (need help?) 06:29, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Cindy, Sorry not for getting back to you earlier, I didn't see your message until just recently. You can see that Pioneers in Engineering's website has a CC notice on the bottom of the page. I had erroneously recalled that it was CC-BY-SA, but it's not that specific CC license. Sorry about the confusion. Ninja Wizard (talk) 23:04, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Possible removal of AWB access due to inactivity
Hello! There is currently a request for approval of a bot to manage the AutoWikiBrowser CheckPage by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the BRFA. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be uncontroversially removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time. This is purely for routine maintenance of the CheckPage, and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You will be able regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB.
