Thanks!
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. This is the first time a vandal has hit one of my pages, which must mean I'm not fighting them enough. :) --BDD (talk) 18:43, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem. Go   Phightins  !  20:11, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Regarding this, maybe you hit the wrong button. I've been known to do that. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:09, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, were you looking at your watchlist when it happened? Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C) 21:11, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I was on my watchlist...to scroll up and down I click the scroll wheel and move it up slightly, so I'm wondering if when I originally clicked it, I was over top of the rollback link. That's probably what happened. Go   Phightins  !  21:16, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I always wondered why it doesn't give a confirm window before proceeding.—Bagumba (talk) 21:34, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably because Rollback is supposed to be one click. Not that I necessarily agree with the thinking, but that is likely it. Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C) 21:39, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * That'd probably be too logical. Go   Phightins  !  21:36, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Adoption Request
Thank you for your message. I appreciate the offer, and would love to take you up on it! Please send me more information! Thank you! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 00:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You're adoption classroom is located here. There are directions on how to proceed there. Good luck! Go   Phightins  !  03:55, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

 * Personally, I'd prefer if they called it the Dr. Pepper house that way people would give me Dr. Pepper; . Thanks a lot! Go   Phightins  !  03:43, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Joe West GA review
Could you take a look here and check off the things that you did if there are any that aren't marked as done? Automatic Strikeout ( T  •  C) 18:33, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I looked at his list, and I didn't see anything on it that I did. I just did some article content work. Go   Phightins  !  18:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C) 18:39, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Would you mind ensuring that the lede is acceptable? I will take a look at the references. I think that we need to discuss the Retrosheet and MLB.com bio links with TBrandley. It is actually beneficial for them to be included in umpire articles. Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C) 18:43, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: M. Young
Normally I'd agree with you, but if you read the various articles it will tell you that nothing can be done until at least Sunday. Bud Selig needs to approve the trade, along with the pending physicals, etc. Until a formal announcement is made from the MLB front office, Michael Young is still a Texas Ranger.

--Yankeefan4477 (talk) 12:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * All right, the deal is officially done. The commish approved it a couple of hours ago; I've updated the article to reflect that. Thanks for your concern and help, and keep up the good work! Go   Phightins  !  17:52, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Lions
Well I just don't know what a Nittany Lion is. I woke up this morning about to correct my edit and did not get around to it. I am just miffed that the guy is sweeping all the first team All-Frosh honors. I feel my edit was a bit immature. I apologize to Mr. Carter and his fans. P.S. I am a Wolverine alum. . I only do some Wildcat pages because I live in Chicago (and serve as the WP:CHICAGO director) and they need help on WP.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:55, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S.S. I assume you are going to fix the references, but I will check back later to see if you haven't.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:58, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'll look at them. And no problem at all; you don't need to apologize. Go   Phightins  !  21:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Merge Chili burger to Chili con carne
I am letting you know that I have proposed a merge of Chili burger to Chili con carne. Being that you participated in the AfD, I'd be interested in your thoughts. The discussion is at Talk:Chili con carne.

It was suggested that Hamburger might be a better target, and I was implored to allow that as a possibility. Therefore, I've moved the discussion to Talk:Chili burger to allow for this. Please accept my apologies if it seemed that I was advocating for one solution over another. &tilde;danjel [ talk &#124; contribs ] 16:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for rating my this article as a start article! I was hoping someone would come along and "upgrade" it. Jakob 22:06, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Adoption
A note to let you know that I have created my adoption headquarters page and will begin work on the lessons soon. Looks like Tazeradog flew threw your process pretty fast and he'll be done before I'm ready. Automatic Strikeout ( T  •  C) 02:21, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I'll let you grade for your adoptees. Yes, I expect our courses to be similar. Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C) 02:50, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

About this, you might want to read through this if you've not done so already. Not necessarily directly relevant to the dispute, but the process might well be affected. Just a FYI in case you hadn't spotted it. Best regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 16:19, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Page Deleted??
How can I become more notable, so that I can have a Wikipedia page? Cheem1981 (talk) 20:02, 21 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Do things that are reported by reliable sources in the media; or, if you are already doing such things, spend more time telling the media about them. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:04, 21 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, the full notability guideline for people is spelled out here...most people aren't notable enough to have Wikipedia pages. I'm certainly not. If you ever meet any of the criteria listed at the notability guideline linked above, you would be deemed notable, but there's really nothing you can do that will make you notable overnight.

 * Huh? I'm confused. Go   Phightins  !  04:57, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Lost track of where we were in the discussion last night and got ahead of myself. I'm only mildly ADHD, but editing Wikipedia, taking care of a 10 month old boy, finishing making my Christmas presents and watching a movie all at once was a little more than I could handle.  LOL. Hey, hope you have a safe and blessed Christmas.  We got no snow in Idaho, Hope you are doing better there.  I miss Michigan winters! Gtwfan52 (talk) 03:54, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

I think we've found a case of successful troll is successful. I won't be replying to the editor any longer. Ryan Vesey 04:57, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It would appear...thanks for your help. Go   Phightins  !  04:59, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * There's a few admins out there who have a thing for G5 and might come by and supervote to delete it. If that occurs, the ip's last edit is wrong as the sockpuppet was blocked after the article was created. Ryan Vesey 05:00, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * There's simply no way it helps the encyclopedia to delete that article. It seems to me that if there were to be a supervote, an oppose rationale could be ignoring all rules. I'm not sure of the exact phrasing, but I'm fairly certain it says something to the effect of "if a rule prevents you from improving the encyclopedia, ignore it". Deleting an article that cleary is constructive doesn't improve the encyclopedia. Go   Phightins  !  05:04, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Saw your message
Hey. Saw your message. I was hoping no one would send that message 'cuase I made sort of a promise that if anyone told me to edit something, that I would leave Wikipedia because over 3 people had told me that and I said if that discussion had to happen again, that I would quit being in Wikipedia. And a promise is a promise, sorry. I'm too scared to make any edits. So I guess no more Wikipedia if that whole discussion starts again. No more Wikipedia for me. RaidenRules!RaidenRules! 23:37, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Deidra, why are you scared to make article edits? Be bold, not apprehensive! Why don't you take a look at one of the video games you mentioned on your userpage, and look at its article, and see if there's any way you can improve it. Perhaps you could take a look at The Legend of Zelda. It's setting section is tagged as needing more citations. Based on what I've seen from you, I think you know how to cite sources, so perhaps you could find one or two and add it to the article. Whatever you do, don't leave the project. We need more people with enthusiasm like you! Merry Christmas. Go   Phightins  !  13:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
