Your Wikihalo
In the process of bringing Wikihalo back to life, I'm checking for "illegally" awarded Wikihalos. A wikihalo can be awarded only by a discussion at its page, not by a single user. However, it seems that many users haven't understood this, and have awarded wikihalos without a proper nomination and so on.

I've discovered that you're displaying a wikihalo, but I haven't found the discussion related to it. Only five people have received a wikihalo (and one of 'em dubiously), and you aren't listed as one of 'em.

So, I'm very sorry, but unless you provide the link to the discussion, I have to ask you to remove the award from your userpage and/or any other page on which you are displaying it.

If you could point me to the diff with it was awarded to you, I can try to discover what's behind it ;-)

Thank you for your cooperation and happy editing,

 * Hi! I remember that when I nominated myself for it, I put it on my watchlist. I just checked the list of items on my watchlist and Wikihalo nomination/Greeves seems to be a red link. Could maybe an admin be contacted to see if the page was deleted? Thanks! Greeves (talk • contribs) 15:59, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The page was deleted (it could be easily checked from the deletion log). Martinp23 said that the only editor was you, except Dev920 who seems to have placed the deletion tag on it. There weren't votes at all. Also, you're listed on the Wikihalo past nominations as nomination failed. So, I have to ask you to remove your user page from the category Category:Wikihalo award recipients. Happy editing,  Snowolf (talk) CON COI  -  17:54, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem! I thought I just got it as the voting was 0/0/0. Greeves (talk • contribs) 18:27, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. (Keep watching Wikihalos, it needs to be advertised ;-) ). Happy editing,  Snowolf (talk) CON COI  -  21:37, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

MyCanvassing
''Hi! Sorry we had to meet like this, but your canvassing for opinions on your user page is disruptive and in violation of WP:CANVASS. Please erase all of the messages you left for your poll or else I will have to contact an admin to deal with this situation. Thanks! Greeves (talk • contribs) 22:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)''

Headings
Hi. Just a heads up. Per Help:Section, we should not use one equal sign for headings, but always start at two. Thanks. -- Avi 22:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I hate to WikiLawyer, but as this is template documentation on a template talk page WP:TMP applies. Greeves (talk • contribs • reviews) 22:16, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That is an error which I have fixed. Look at the wikicode on that very page, they are all double equals signs. It is not a "template-space" issue, but a meta-wiki code issue that applies over all wikispaces, if I recall correctly. It has to do with parsing the page name properly, I think. -- Avi 23:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, you are right :) -- Avi 23:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Review team
Hi Greeves, Thanks for signing up for the review team, and for your help so far at 1.0. Let me know what you're interested in, or if you want some guidance. If you prefer, just take a look at the FAQ page and get started. Thanks! Walkerma 02:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi! I'm hoping to help out reviewing articles for Version 0.7 and helping out the video game WikiProjects for WP:WVWP. Apart from that, I can help where needed! Greeves (talk • contribs • reviews) 02:49, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! Walkerma 06:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Importance relates to the project in which it's being assessed - thus Fifth Avenue might be High importance for WikiProject New York City, but only Mid or Low for WikiProject USA. If it's for the 1.0 template, that is often very difficult to judge, so you can leave importance unassessed if you wish. (MartinBotII will be able to calculate importance for us - hopefully soon)  Just be sure to add the quality assessment and the category for any articles you pass. I should be able to start helping much more in a couple of weeks time.  Thanks, Walkerma 02:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Your 3RR warning to Sm8900
You claimed on Sm8900's talk page that they had broken the thee revert rule. They, in fact, had not: their contributions show that they have edited it only once in the preceding 24 hours, and have actually only ever edited the page twice, both in the last two days. Elderleo, who originally added the information, also did not break the rule, as they only reverted twice. I'm not saying I disagree with the removal of it, but if you're serious in your goal that you mention in your editor review, then you really ought to take the time to make sure that someone you are accusing of breaking a rule, especially one such as this, actually has broken it. --86.137.247.246 12:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC). By the way, if you feel you need to leave a response, do it here; my IP may be different when I get back, so replying on my talk page would not be a good idea.
 * I guess that I was wrong as I thought that since there were three four reverts in 24 hours related to that one section (diff 1, 2, 3, and 4) it would be violating WP:3RR and WP:EW. Sorry! Greeves (talk • contribs • reviews) 18:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Online source
This is regarding your request at Requested templates. In this edit I've hidden the 3 boxes in a collapsible table that's collapsed by default. The title is flexible and can be changed to not say BBC. Feel free to revert this if this is worse than the small option. I can create a template for the table, in case other talk pages can find it useful as well. –Pomte 09:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This is better, though would the whole thing be able to be made small? Thanks! Greeves (talk • contribs • reviews) 01:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you mean the whole thing made small? If you set  on them right now, they won't look any better, just squished to the right. There's redundant text like "This page has been cited as a source by a media organization..." That really should be only stated once, and then the list of 3 sources. I can Onlinesources for this purpose. –Pomte 03:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Admin Coaching
You are actually the second person to ask me this, and I would be happy to coach you as well. I prefer to be as flexible as possible, so whatever format you would like to use, I would be happy with. 00:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that I don't know what you mean by "format" as I'm new to admin coaching. Greeves (talk • contribs • reviews) 01:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I mean that I am willing to coach you any way you would like: if you just want to ask me questions, if you want to set up a subpage, whatever you want to do. Prodego  talk  01:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking maybe a subpage, whatever you think is best. I will probably have questions, though I hope to have additional coaching to that. Greeves (talk • contribs • reviews) 01:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

MU* games and notability
For someone wikilawyering WP:TALK, you sure didn't read it right. It says: ''Changing or deleting comments after someone replied is likely to cause problems, because it will put the reply in a different context. In that case you have several options.''

As has been pointed out, no-one had replied and in fact, refactoring other peoples talk page comments through editing, removing or restoring is against wikipedia policy. Please refrain from restoring a comment that no-one replied to, and that I had removed as uneccesarily inflammatory. DarkSaber2k 08:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

WP:TALK
You missed WP:TALK. Reposting somebody's deleted comment while they're offline, with the result of making it look as if they intended it to stay there, is a massively misleading change to make - if you feel really strongly about it, you should put strikethrough tags around it yourself, or otherwise make it clear that the original poster deleted their own comment. --McGeddon 09:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Although, since I'm well within my rights to do so, if you DO re-add my comment, I will remove it again, since it was removed within 10 minutes of me posting it as it was poorly-thought out and inflammatory on my part. Re-adding it is achieving nothing apart from potentially provoking a situation that was supposed to have been avoided. DarkSaber2k 10:23, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

GAC backlog elimination drive
This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :GAReview underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 00:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

GA Review
You mentioned here that it needs more refs on the plot section. I'm not sure exactly how this can be achieved, since (as far as I know) you can work out the plot by playing the campaign, you don't really need a news article to tell you about it. Could you please elaborate on this a little? Thanks for your review, and happy editing. G1 gg  y  !  01:10, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
