The Headbangers assessment
Hi, I saw that you reassessed this article recently. Since you lowered the rating two classes (from B to Start), I was wondering if you could leave a message on the article's talk page specifying what you feel is preventing it from being B-class, or at least C-class. I appreciate you helping with article assessment, but some clarification would be appreciated. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 21:17, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Devin Hester
If you can somehow fit the bit about Hester's jersey number into the article, please feel free too. I feel the topic is also interesting, but do not know how to actually integrate it into the article itself. Perhaps its worth talking about restructuring the article to consolidate information. :P Sorry for the late reply, I have been caught up with a lot of real life work lately to read and reply to actual threads and messages on Wikipedia. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  07:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

NEW INFO JUST RELEASED ABOUT HOFFA CASE
Does this count as pertinent info for the Jimmy Hoffa page? Since I can't add it in, maybe someone else would like to. --Spectre7277 (talk) 03:40, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Josh Stewart
Hi. I looked over this article per your request and I made a few stylistic updates. Please note that in the filmography table, there is no need to use the markup rowspan=1, and we no longer wikilink "year in film" dates. Also, I inserted the filmography table style code that is endorsed by the WP:ACTOR project. I wanted to tell you that there is no requirement to add references for television and film roles in the filmography table, as we accept the actual appearance as proof of its existence. I didn't remove the references you added in those tables, although they rightly could be. I assessed the article at a C class for quality. The career section could be enhanced by expanding critical reaction to Stewart's appearances or content regarding how he may have gotten the roles or content from reliable sources regarding his roles, etc. How this is handed can be seen in higher rated articles from the WP:ACTOR lists. Good work. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:39, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Arena Football League is back
Because of word that the new league formerly called "Arena Football 1" has decided to take on the new Arena Football League moniker, I thought it would be a good time to revive WikiProject Arena Football League. The team I adopt for this project is the Milwaukee Iron (my home team), and I am leaving this message on your talk page to (hopefully) get you back interested. I notice that you're already a member, so if you're interested, let's get things going again! Rejoice, for ARENA FOOTBALL IS BACK! Tom Danson (talk) 18:43, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

merge of the two arena league articles
Because of the news that Arena Football 1 has decided rename as Arena Football League, af1 was moved to Arena Football League (2010) page and arena football league page to Arena Football League (1987-2008). They have been nominated to merge together. Since you are a project member, your input on the matter would be appreciated. please disscuss at this page  Gman 124 talk 20:37, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

College Football Project request
Hello! You are listed as an active member of the College Football Project! We have a large number of unreferenced biographies of living persons, but it works out to be just two or three articles per active participant. I've divided up the articles that need help and put them in a table on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Unreferenced BLPs. Please assist the project by researching and sourcing the articles that have been "assigned" (so to speak) to you.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:43, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Musha Cay
Hey, why the revert and "possible vandelism" edit summary, clearly that link has a page with a video of Musha Cay.
 * Then revert it.  Cra sh  Underride  06:28, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

 * 5) Do not give undue weight to recent events in articles.

WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter message
It has recently been brought to the attention of WP:PW that the newsletter is being to delivered to several users who have not been actively editing for several months.

In response, this message is being sent to all editors listed in Category:WikiProject Professional wrestling participants to say that anyone who does not list their name at WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active before May 16 will be automatically listed at WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, and will no longer receive the newsletter or any notification of it. If you are added to WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, please feel free to remove your name if you desire. If you wish to continue receiving the newsletter as normal, please add your name to WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active. If you simply wish to receive notification of a new issue, but not have the full newsletter delivered to your talk page, please add your name to the notification only list.
