Let me direct your attention to RyRy5, he's responsible for the userpage I'm currently using, I only tweaked it slightly. Regards ——RyanLupin • (talk) 23:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello. Do you want me to do the same to your user page is what you are asking? -- RyRy  ( talk ) 00:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, but could you add more information to your user page? And maybe try adding some userboxes also. That would really help. Thanks, RyRy  ( talk ) 00:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Tell me your interests and I'll add some for you. Oh, and don't forget to add more information to your user page while your at it. -- RyRy  ( talk ) 00:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Billy Penn Citation
You recently placed "Appleby Ph.D., 2005 p. 75" as a citation in the Curse of Billy Penn article. Could you be a little more specific with that? I'm not sure what book you're trying to reference. Shortened citations are great, but the full citation needs to be on the page somewhere so we can reference it ourselves. See WP:CITESHORT for guidelines. Thanks!

Geography WikiProject update - 03/15/2009
You commented on the awards effort when it was just getting started a long while back - I thought you might like to see the end results...

The award images are complete!

After months of toil and attention to detail, Penubag has completed the set of images for this WikiProject's awards!

There are five race ribbons:



There's an engraved medallion:



And by far the hardest to create, a golden trophy:



If you are interested in the contests and collaborations that will feature these awards, drop me a note.

And be sure to pop by Penubag's talk page to let him know what you think of his graphics artistry.

Sysop v. Bureaucrats
Can a person be both a Wikipedia admin and a Wikipedia Bureaucrat at the same time? If not can you become a Bureaucrat then give up being a Bureaucrat to become an admin? Etineskid (talk) 01:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Can be both; for e.g. ;

[02:21] !rights Raul654 [02:21]  chzz: The rights of the user Raul654 are bureaucrat, checkuser, oversight, sysop.


 *  Chzz  ►  01:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. Also what would you suggest being first?
 * In practice, you have to be a senior admin to become a bureaucrat. Raul654 (talk) 15:00, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

MOTDs (This space for rent)
You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:04, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject C-SPAN?
Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -

I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.

If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject?

The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):


 * Creation, maintenance, and improvement of articles and lists directly related to C-SPAN and its programming.
 * Use of C-SPAN programming in citations for various topics
 * Inclusion of unique and targeted C-SPAN video links for various articles. (Doing this with respect for established guidelines at External links.) (Example: If you are interested in the submarine USS Wyoming (SSBN-742), then having easy access to the eight hours of programming taped while a C-SPAN crew were guests on that submarine could also be of interest to you.)
 * Inclusion of (and possible further creation of) templated links such as, that will easily take article readers to a link of all C-SPAN Video Library links for the person about whom the article is about.
 * What else?

I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe (as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...

"...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly, and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics."

Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page.

Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

Reviewing Pages
Hi, I am a Reviewer, and was wondering does anyone have any idea how I can get a link to Special:PendingChanges? I have tried putting it on my Watchlist and it doesn't work right. It is quite difficult to try and remember how to get to the page.
 * Pages in the Special namespace can't be watchlisted - I'd suggest putting a link on your userpage (perhaps under the Powers section) to grant quick access (that's what I do). Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  11:51, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Texas Rangers (baseball) (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on Texas Rangers (baseball) (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
 * disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
 * is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:49, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
