Nonsense of AbendZeitung (Munich)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on AbendZeitung (Munich), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because AbendZeitung (Munich) provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting AbendZeitung (Munich), please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Re:Wikicup
Wow, I think that's just silly.

Whether it means anything or not, the nom and the person who voted "Weak Delete" both have less than 80 edits.  jj137  (talk)  02:37, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Nicolas Stemann
Please read the career section. In addition to being a rough translation, most of the sentences actually make little sense; for instance, The first time the Berlin Theatertreffen was invited Nicolas Stemann 2002 with his production of Hamlet, which he has elaborated. is not grammatical English and doesn't really mean anything even as it stands. This would be a lot easier if you would mark the articles you have machine-translated and then list them at WP:PNT in the editing section. If I knew enough German to retranslate these articles, I would have. -Yupik (talk) 20:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

ORF 1
I'll be listing the German article at Translation since my German isn't good enough to fix the problems in the article. -Yupik (talk) 22:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Edit Summaries
Hi Milk - yes, I know about Edit Summaries - I use them most of the time. Check my contributions. I am working through Ontario-related articles and adding a lot of missing project tags. In the interest of covering ground and increasing volume, I am not adding Edit Summaries to each and every one. Thanks for the visit. PKT (talk) 01:35, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Just wondering, what sort of JS scripts do you use?  jj137  (talk)  22:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I use Twinkle, an edit counter, a script that shows a live feed of new pages in the left panel, two scripts that each will easily close AFDs/MFDs, one that helps voting for AFDs, a stub tag tab, a purge tab, and several I've written to help out at RFPP, set up archiving, and a copyediting script.   jj137   (talk)  23:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The new page script is User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js; the stub tag tab is User:ais523/stubtagtab.js; the copyedit script is one I'm developing (and always adding new things to): User:Jj137/general.js. On most articles it may not be that useful, but there's literally thousands of articles that need copyediting with the script.   jj137   (talk)  23:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Barnstars

 * You're going to have to fix some kind of template error. As a side note, since you know exactly which articles you assessed, could you go to WP:BOSOX/A and remove the completed ones (or at least some)?   jj137   (talk)  00:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sure there's some reason it's not there (I think because we're not allowed to use the game cover on the Main Page because of its licensing).   jj137   (talk)  01:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * List the done ones or uncreated articles?   jj137   (talk)  01:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, it would probably be easiest to just remove the done ones; after that I can reorganize it.  jj137   (talk)  01:08, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Clicking show or hide won't do anything. There's something about the formatting of your talk page which interacts with my thank you box to screw up for the formatting of everything under. Therefore, because I'm not the kind of person who wants to screwed up the formatting of somebody's talk page, you get your thank you note on a special page: User:Doczilla/RfAThanksSpecial. I hope you like it. I certainly appreciated your involvement in my RFA. Best, Doczilla  RAWR! 06:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

John Morris (MLB outfielder)
Hey. Regarding your speedy deletion request of this re-direct, I was working on creating players' articles from Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim all-time roster. On that list, the link was "MLB outfielder". Because I made the assumption that there might've been another article with that same red link (I now see there is at John Morris, the disambiguation page) I re-directed "MLB outfielder" to John Morris (outfielder) which I then created shortly thereafter.

I removed the speedy deletion request upon being alerted that it was requested some twenty-five minutes later, which I hope wasn't a problem. Sorry for any problems this caused.  Ksy92003  ( talk ) 00:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Bizarre.. yeah, when I made the redirect, I was thinking to myself I hope I can create the article before somebody sees the re-direct and apparently, you won that race. It's weird though that the bot notified me about it about twenty-five minutes after I created the re-direct and about twenty minutes after creating the main article.  I was hoping that I could remove the SD request before anybody else could see it so nobody would think Man, Milk's Favorite Cookie is stupid for trying to speedy delete a perfectly valid re-direct.  Oh well, no harm.. no foul.   Ksy92003  ( talk ) 01:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * When I heard about that back in 2004, I didn't like it at all. But now that I look back, I actually like the name.  I mean it was a huge chance for the team to get publicity after just being swept by the eventual-World Champion Boston Red Sox.  I mean when people think "Anaheim" they think of Disneyland and cartoon-ish Disney characters.  When you think "Anaheim" it's not a "threatening" city name when you think about the other things associated with Anaheim (like the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim's cartoonish logo at the time.  Heck, now when I think of Anaheim, I don't think of the Angels or the Ducks.. I think of Gwen Stefani which can't be a good thing.


 * Anyway, I live on the same street as Disneyland, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and Honda Center (about 15 miles away, although) so I have very easy accessability to those places. As for the name change, I love the "LAAoA" name even more because of what Long Beach's Golden Baseball League team, the Long Beach Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America Including Barrow, Alaska.  When the Armada made their name change, I realized how silly a name it is but that made it fun.  I go to Armada games and I chant "Let's go, Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America and Barrow, Alaska!!"  It's just fun to make fun of the names, and I actually like the name changes.  I mean it gives you something to joke about just for fun.   Ksy92003  ( talk ) 01:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, if we don't play the Yankees in the postseason, then we're screwed. Since we won the World Series in 2002, against the Red Sox and White Sox, we're 1-10.  So I'm praying for a great season for the Yankees (and that the Red Sox choke with Schilling out hurt.   Ksy92003  ( talk ) 01:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 06:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅   jj137   (talk)  20:42, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes - try going to System > Reload Configuration or try using Special:Recentchanges. See if either of those work.   jj137   (talk)  20:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You've been using Special:Recentchanges over IRC feed (when loading Huggle)? Just clarifying.   jj137   (talk)  20:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty confused then. Does your computer meet all of the requirements on WP:HUG?  jj137  (talk)  20:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Woo hoo! You got it to work! What exactly were you doing before?   jj137   (talk)  21:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know, mine doesn't do that. You may need to work around with the settings. Also, on your huggle.css page, you may want to disable some of the admin options that are automatically enabled.   jj137   (talk)  21:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I fixed it for you. Reload the configuration for it to update.  jj137  (talk)  21:33, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No, but I probably will in a minute. I think Huggle is so fast, when two people are both using Huggle at the same time, it's almost like a contest to see who can revert it faster. ;) (at least, that's what it has seemed like from my experience with it)   jj137   (talk)  21:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Editors gone wild
Hey - how about not reverting every change? Just a thought... I was going to edit the Conjugate Gradient article but every little thing got reverted right as I was doing it. This is very counter productive. Unless your 13 year editors can fill out articles like this then please let users work on it. You can check in the next day and see if you want to revert the article then. This has been a very sour experience and I doubt I'll contribute monetarily or scientifically again. I heard google actually wants experts on their Knol site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.160.213 (talk) 22:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

AIV
Hi. Please try to be a bit more careful with your AIV reports. You have recently added a number of reports for IPs that have not edited since their final warnings, and for some reason you have often warned them twice after their final edit. The number of incorrect reports you are adding is very distracting from reports that actually need action. TigerShark (talk) 23:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. Can you stop using it to report for the time being, as it really is problematic to get to the reports that need action? Cheers TigerShark (talk) 23:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. TigerShark (talk) 23:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
