Welcome back
How about this ? --BorgQueen (talk) 02:00, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Mini marathon
Wow! Great job! For DYK, I presume?  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 16:05, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

We meet again
Why is it the two of us are always editing (and watching eg. RTÉ News: Nine O'Clock) the same things? :-) CargoK user talk 21:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Here. Remember? CargoK user talk 21:49, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I bump into you the most when I see you in my watchlist having edited pages I created. Thanks again and enjoy the weather!!! CargoK user talk 22:01, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Heres to a warm summer and happy editing! CargoK user talk 22:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * How much longer does this text-message-like conversation have to go on? (only joking} CargoK user talk 22:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Right.. okay! Serious stuff now: What other stuff is there to do in the fields of Irish radio and tv? I have emailed many of the RTÉ radio programmes looking for dates of first broadcasts. So for The Tubridy Show (I made that one), have got back to me on their first show. CargoK user talk 22:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

ITN

 * Also, good luck for continued success on wikicup. If you need collaboration help, or any other assistance (on a GA perhaps), feel free to leave me a message.  On shorter stuff like ITNs and DYKs, I can't always guarantee immediate assistance (I'm taking some morning classes this summer). Anyway, happy editing,  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 01:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Template
I feel like a bot. Here is your new template: Template:RTER1. CargoK user talk 19:02, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I know. I enjoyed being a bot for a few hours! Now onwards and upwards. I have programmes' pages to create! Away I go to the RTÉ website and more............... CargoK user talk 19:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I am honoured! I'd like to thank every one on Wikipedia and you for GIVING ME MY FIRST BARNSTAR! Thanks, CargoK user talk 19:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Just a quick question. What genre would you describe Mooney (radio programme)? (PS Have just done The Marian Finucane Show) CargoK user talk 20:10, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I was creating his page here, but Safari crashed. Lost everything. Going to start again tomorrow. Too tired now. I am only going to fix simple stuff here. CargoK user talk 20:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

VP
What can I answer that hasn't already been said at the MfD? It's pretty obvious from the perspective of the people who are interfacing with archives. Durova Charge! 00:36, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, here's the basics. For those of us who work with historic images, access is a crucial issue.  Even if an image is public domain, an archive that owns a hard copy has no obligation to make it available to the public.  So they need reasons to release material.  Some of them are getting the idea that's good to do.  Right now Flickr and WMF are competing to become the main point of image release.  Flickr has interface advantages.  One of the biggest advantages we've got is POTD.  And the page traffic that goes with it.  VP is sucking the life out of that advantage.  And it isn't obvious to anyone who's actually negotiating with these archives, why VP even needs to exist.  It looks like a parasitic pet project that's doing real harm.  Not deliberately, but harmful all the same.  Durova Charge! 02:20, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe VP wasn't set up for that purpose deliberately, but it has no safeguards against it. And the need for a VP program was never clearly defined or broadly supported.  Media content doesn't need to ape text content processes.  The challenges we face are different.  And if process gets in the way of content (and it has) then it's bureaucracy and needs to go.  Durova Charge! 03:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's shifted significantly in the last few months since VP got started, and it's shifted against established FP criteria and norms. And one of the principal recruiting grounds for VP has been active FPCs.  Not waiting for the nom to even close.  Comments at two recent FP delisting noms even explicitly stated an intent to clean out existing FPs of high EV and reroute them to VP.  And since VP gets very little other activity, one FP regular even characterized high EV FP delistings as the 'saving grace' of VP, which serves little other purpose and does negligible good.  If you need a diff for that I can get it.  It's very worrisome.  Durova Charge! 03:31, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There is no way. It's a slippery slope.  There's no safeguard against that abuse, and I raised the concern as early as January.  It does actual harm.  Significant and long term harm.  It's process-wonking of the very worst variety.  Durova Charge! 03:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

New Pages
Richard Downes‎ and Mary Wilson (broadcaster) have been created. Do you want me to stop telling you about these things? Thanks CargoK user talk 16:06, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

ITN
Can you make some comments on this nom? Thanks. --BorgQueen (talk) 06:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Euna Lee and Laura Ling
Would you be interested in expanding Euna Lee and Laura Ling? --BorgQueen (talk) 14:44, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, since it wasn't a valid info from the beginning (no way your fault, of course). I may change my mind if you kindly expand the articles... :-D --BorgQueen (talk) 14:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Someone apparently slapped a split tag but didn't bother to create it. Perhaps you could do the honour. --BorgQueen (talk) 15:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

You make me laugh

 * You have put great humour on my talk page. Also on the ITN/C page, I was laughing for literally for ages on this:

To do with Mexico nursery:

From an IP Someone was struck by lightning in San Diego a few days ago. That Europe has one parliment for all of Europe is news to me. Yourself What, 68.164.237.202, might I ask does Europe have to do with Mexico? Please consult an atlas quickly. Did the person in San Diego multiply into several dozen burnt bodies?

You may not think it is funny. I personally think it was bloody hilarious. CargoK user talk 17:44, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for helping me out on Bobby Kerr. By the way, the WikiKnittingCorner has begun. All useless debates from ITN/C can go there! CargoK user talk 19:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the pointers. I will do that now. You can contribute if you like! CargoK user talk 19:52, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of images
This User:J Milburn is removing images from RTÉ News and Current Affairs and putting some up for deletion from the RTÉ article as well. On the News and Current page J Milburn removed all images, stating they were non-free. Can you suggest what I or we do? CargoK user talk 11:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

RfA canvassing ;-)
Hi!

Given your good-natured and humourous posts on Talk:Main Page, I thought you might be interested in participating in this request for adminship...? Even if not, you'd probably enjoy reading it! I !voted to oppose, but there's nothing to stop you supporting, remaining neutral, or even !voting several times ;-) You might even fancy asking - or even answering - questions to the "candidate"!

Oh yes, please do! *pant pant* --BorgQueen (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

WikiKnittingCorner
Perfect for WikiKnittingCorner. Keep 'em coming! CargoK user talk 22:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I saw that too. Spooky. Maybe the two original posters stole it. I was suspicious when your one said 'my friend that recently died'. ????? CargoK user talk 23:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I see a fellow member of the welcoming committee attended to him with a welcome template. I never give templates to users who only contributed on talk pages. I know Wiki staff have access to IP address of every user. Maybe they can provide info to the French. It's the Pink Panther all over again!! --CargoK user talk 23:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Lets nominate someone (not me), to ask the user up front. The user probaby is never going to return though. (it is hard to post messages on an iPod touch.) --CargoK user talk 23:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Lets leave the person alone. My iPod. My computer was off. It is hard to sign your name! (Back on computer again) CargoK user talk 09:49, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

New people
Cathal Mac Coille, John Murray (broadcaster)‎ and look like someone did Myles Dungan (meant to do him myself. I have loads of sources, so...). CargoK user talk 16:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Picasso and the nudey ladies
It is good to say such fine work in random conversation being preserved indefinately!Willski72 (talk) 20:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hurrah! The nudey ladies conversation has been preserved for the good of the wikipedia community by such decisive action!Willski72 (talk) 17:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Though it is a sad day indeed for the main page when a piece of substantial philosophical, political and social work such as that we engineered, along with others such as Lord Michael, is cruely deleted while still in its prime (under a month).Willski72 (talk) 17:40, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, id get massacred on the wikicup thing though so i might pass on that one....Willski72 (talk) 18:49, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

WIkiKnittingCorner and deletion
New templates for WikiKnittingCorner: User:Cargoking/WikiKnittingCorner/Note and User:Cargoking/WikiKnittingCorner/Note2

Em... no the images are still up for deletion. The bots are tagging them as well now for being orphaned.

What programmes and people have yet to be created? I also see some person says to keep Bobby. CargoK user talk 12:40, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * After seeing this I recently expanded his page and reverted vandalism by an IP . CargoK user talk 14:41, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

WikiCup
What sort of tasks have to be preformed, in relation to the WikiCup? CargoK user talk 19:26, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I signed myself up. By 2010 I'll have improved my user skills. CargoK user talk 19:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Vincent Browne
I am going to expand his page tomorrow. He will probably be good DYK material. Do you think this image is okay for him. Cargoking  talk  22:06, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I have a few sources up my sleeve. Cargoking   talk  22:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Some GAs
Hey! I was wondering if you wanted to bring up some of the ITNs you've (and/or I've) created up to GA status. Some, like Operation Seabight for example, wouldn't need as much work to get there. If you're up for the offer, leave a note on my talk, and which article you'd like to begin with (I think Operation Seabight would be the easiest after a quick look-through). Happy editing,  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 02:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Operation Seabight then? I'll bring the discussion to the article's talkpage.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 02:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

A thought
Just a thought. Have you ever considered becoming an admin? I think you would suit the position. Cargoking  talk  10:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think you are adminworthy. You have been here three years. The subjects you cover in Wikipedia could be enhanced by becoming admin. You have 25,199 edits or something... Think about it. By the way, do you think Conversations with Eamon Dunphy should be created, with Miriam Meets merged with it? Cargoking   talk  11:12, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

New candidate for ITN
I noticed that you were an active editor in ITN, so I thought I should inform you of a potential candidate for the news on the front page,2009 Algerian military ambush. It was a major event and I feel it should be placed on the front page. I've added the infobox,categories and pretty much anything and everything I could think of. Thanks --Roaring Siren (talk) 19:59, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Jewel thieves
I was wondering if you are interested in expanding the Pink Panthers article and nominate it for DYK... They are a real-life version of Hollywood slapstick comedy thieves... They even steal in drag(!) --BorgQueen (talk) 02:19, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

New candidate for ITN
Hi, I have created a new article 2009_Thailand_Standoff which I think has the potential to the featured in the ITN section. I was wondering if you could nominate the article for me. And, oh yeah, thanks for nominating the previous article !. --Roaring Siren (talk) 10:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Hariri
He is currently the Prime Minister-designate, meaning that he hasn't taken the office yet. I think we will have to wait until he does. --BorgQueen (talk) 15:19, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
