New section button
Hello Dendodge. At WT:AN you proposed a new section button. Can I ask what problem this is addressing? We did something similar at the 3RR noticeboard, but that one required a complex form. (See the button 'Click here to add a new report.') I don't know whether your need is the same. EdJohnston (talk) 03:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

adoption request
please forgive me if I've put this in the wrong place. I've used wikipedia for at least two years now but still know little about what's an accepted source, when to edit or not, how to create new pages, and probably many other things. I'm a fan of fantasy books, films, and TV shows and frequently look these things up. I also frequently look up history and countries. Would you be willing to adopt me?

Thank you
...for flexing your mussels. Lucian Sunday (talk) 21:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Hello. My templates can't read external links, so I can't do what you suggested. If there's another way round that, notify me on the subpage's talkpage with the talkback template. Thank you.--Mathematiquizard 14:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Adobe Photoshop CS3 running in Mac OS X.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Adobe Photoshop CS3 running in Mac OS X.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 03:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I uploaded a blacked-out version of the file (that appears to be corrupted now) and don't care if it gets deleted. I know I'm replying to a bot, but I'm insane anyway, so... --Den dodge | Talk Contribs 08:22, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

GA review of Sinhala alphabet
Hey, sorry I reverted you after you passed Sinhala alphabet. I hadn't seen the review subpage at Talk:Sinhala alphabet/GA1, and I thought you had passed the article without reviewing it. Anyway, in the future, whenever you review an article it's best to transclude the review subpage into the article's main talk page (by entering at the bottom of the talk page of article ???). This isn't really your fault&mdash;the editor who first started the review page and then went incommunicado is the one who should have been responsible for doing that&mdash;I'm just letting you know for future reference. Happy editing, &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 23:19, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

About The Tempest...
You know how you posted the Character Gonzalo as an oppurtunity for the barnstar? Well, it's been redirected to The Tempest (as you probably know). This is true for the other character, Stephano. Please explain how to achieve a barnstar, as both are now redirects. Cheers.  Im per a t § r (Talk) 23:26, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Main Page redesign
The Main Page Redesign proposal is currently conducting a straw poll to select five new designs, before an RFC in which one will be proposed to replace the Main Page. The poll closes on October 31st. Your input would be hugely appreciated! Many thanks, P retzels Talk! 09:07, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Co Nom
Hey there Dendodge :)

Just wondering if you were still going to co nom me. Just checking before I transclude the page :). I look forward to hearing from you.  ·Add§hore·  T alk /C ont 17:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Your sig
Just to let you have some constructive feedback, I find your sig quite difficult. The font is hard enough to read on its own, but the second half of it is practically invisible on all the computers I regularly use for browsing. --Dweller (talk) 12:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it's at least entirely visible now! I won't comment on aesthetics, just practicalities... Cheers, --Dweller (talk) 13:54, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Help with Userpage
Hi, Dendodge. I really love your userpage, and I wonder if you can tell me where you got the code for yours. For instance, how did you turn the background gray, and have the floating Beatles logo? Hope you can help me with this!--Listen to your Princess, dear Wikipedians. (talk) 16:48, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
