You may find this interesting reading
You may want to have a look at Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents - there was recently yet another kerfuffle about people putting fake message bars on their pages. Also of note is UP. Friday (talk) 22:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

In the future, please leave a message at WP:AWC before taking on a project from there. Thanks! -- Shark face  217  00:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Quality of edits
Many of your edits to these articles seem to be superfluous and could be accomplished in one step. Counting simple copyediting, using multiple edits for adding a references section, etc., these edits should be combined into one page change.

While you are doing a good job so far on the references, I ask that you add more info to articles that you work on for WP:AWC. For example, TicketMan has done a ton of work on articles I have given him barnstars for through WP:AWC. I ask that the quality of your work be close to his when taking on future AWC challenges. -- Shark face  217  01:42, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I look forward to your increased efforts. Also, I cannot award you for those 100 warns because the anti-vandalism challenge that I offered at AWC specifically states that you had to sign up there first. This rule was put into place to prevent barnstars from being awarded on vandal warns that were issued before a user became aware of the challenge. Sorry, dude. -- Shark face  217  02:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Good luck with it. I'm sure you'd be able to rack up the warns pretty quickly. -- Shark face  217  02:08, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Article
You could work on Battle of Gondar, and for it, I will award barnstars for the same number of edits.  Dreamy   §  03:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I will accept that too.  Dreamy   §  03:12, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandal
I blocked the vandal for three days.  jj137  ♠ 17:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It keeps giving me a failure notice for some reason. I don't think it would have mattered anyway because you should have the attachments from the download.   jj137  ♠ 17:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the barnstar! I enjoy this kind of work a lot! -- Bellwether B  C  18:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I just found out you can leave this template through the warn tab in Twinkle, so the script is redundant.  jj137  ♠ 03:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, thought I replied to that. I think it could go either way, the user (Gangsta?) still has it on his userpage, and I've seen plenty of others that still have it. Whatever you want.   jj137  ♠ 03:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Black hole quasar NASA.jpg

Re:Barnstar
Thanks a lot. Just wondering, what page is that with the references? :)   jj137  ♠ 17:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I meant on the actual barnstar :)   jj137  ♠ 18:17, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Aah, I should have known. [[Image:Face-smile.svg|25px]]   jj137  ♠ 18:26, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Is it your first featured content?   jj137  ♠ 18:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Bevin Alexander
You might want to fix the image you added to the article, as it seems to have no use-rational and there are some typos.

But good job anyway. -- Shark face  217  19:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

My RfA
Hey there, I'm writing to inform you that I have withdrawn my request for adminship, which was currently standing at 11 supports, 22 opposes and 6 neutrals. This count could have been so much better if I had understood policy, although I believe that 17 questions is a lot to ask of a user's first RfA. I will take on all comments given at the RfA and will endeavour to meet the high expectations of the RfA voters.  WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN play it cool.  20:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Pats won!
Woo hoo! I'm going for the Packers. I'd like to see 18-0 vs. Brett Favre

Yes, some of the nominations were going well, and then they went rather disastrous.  jj137  ♠ 00:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's what WP:FPC says: For promotion, if an image is listed here for about seven days with four or more opinions in support (including the nominator), and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list. Note however that anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis.   jj137  ♠ 00:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I supported that picture. It may help to eventually re-upload some of those without the little "numbers" at the bottom. :)   jj137  ♠ 00:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ugh, I didn't think of that. :(   jj137  ♠ 00:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Image on Commons
I'm really unsure of that.  jj137  ♠ 02:15, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The "your mean" one? I know! I deleted an article they created that was obviously spam.
 * You're right, great game! I really want the Packers to win this.   jj137  ♠ 02:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ...Which is the reason I want the Packers to win. (And because of Brett Favre)   jj137  ♠ 02:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Images

 * Image 1 might be very similar to an actual FP; I remember voting on another picture that I think passed that had Enterprise on the back of a Boeing.
 * Image 2 has some focus issues; it probably wouldn't pass
 * Image 3 is decent, I personally think it's encyclopedic value outweighs its minor blur
 * Image 4 is technically messy due to the lighting. Nobody can tell what the object is because it's just a streak of light in the sky.

Hope I was helpful. -- Shark face  217  03:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I suggest you try to get Image 3 through FPC. I do not know if images on commons that are FPs can be here, but I assume that it is possible. -- Shark face  217  02:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Stick it in articles relating to the big building in the background (name slips my mind at this moment, sadly) and the article for the planes in the foreground. Maybe even the Kennedy Space Center Article. --02:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharkface217 (talk • contribs)

Re:Super Bowl
You're right, it will probably be Week 17 all over again. I think the Pats will win, but it may be close.  jj137  ♠ 15:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It does seem a long time away... only six days. Probably doesn't seem so long for all of the people spending $2.5 million for 30 seconds. :)   jj137  ♠ 15:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, yes, it is. :)   jj137  ♠ 16:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Today's (Yesterday's) Featured Article
No. Most have pictures, but occasionally they won't.   jj137  ♠ 02:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. I saw the images at top; you have a lot of barnstars, 2 GAs, and a DYK. Nice job. :)   jj137  ♠ 02:19, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * There you go, I placed it in a subpage, User talk:Ohmpandya/Top. It was the first "title" I thought of, so feel free to change it.   jj137  ♠ 02:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I assume you participate in WP:AWC? :)   jj137  ♠ 02:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * (I already tried Show Preview on this) You may have a certain ordering for them, but if you don't, I suggest switching the order and placing it first on the left, and about 22px. That at least makes it more visible.   jj137  ♠ 02:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That looks great. You can use Infobox Book for any novel.   jj137  ♠ 02:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know if that's a good idea. You can use bits and pieces, but it should at least be different enough that they are clearly two different articles.   jj137  ♠ 03:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

"Red Sox Wikipedia"
Wow. See also, it is a Red Sox wiki on Wikia, except for the fact I started it and barely ever edit there.  jj 137  03:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I was trying something new. :)   jj  137  03:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it did look very tiny in Firefox.   jj  137  03:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you could raise it to Start-Class.   jj  137  03:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Just go to WP:GAN (if that's what you mean).   jj  137  03:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It should say on the talk page.   jj  137  03:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

DYK nominations
Curious, but why did you re-nominate Victoriatown for DYK? It was already featured on the Main Page yesterday. Also, I removed your nomination of John Maclean, Jr.. I already self-nominated that article just minutes after I created it. Nishkid64 (talk) 05:19, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I used to do articles much more often, but then I went to a dark place that only had dial-up and became to much of a challenge. :P, I hope to do some more (at least naval articles) soon again, as soon as I can find some material that other than DANFS stuff.
