Re: DTV Transition in Phoenix
I was up until 12:30 am! I know KASW shut off analog at 4:30 am because dhett said "KASW shuts analog off at 4:30 am and KTVK switches over to analog nightlight at the same time" at the radio-info message board. Powergate92   Talk  20:43, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * KPNX will shut off at 10:12 pm and KTVW-TV will shut off at 10:59 pm! My username on Radio-info is Powergate92 the same as on here! Powergate92   Talk  20:56, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They said in their newscast to rescan your DTV box after 10:35pm. That indicated to me digital 12 would be up by then. I'm sure there will be an overlap with both digital 12 and 36 on at the same time though. Unfortunately I'm on cable here so just taking the newscasts word for it. Skywayman (talk) 05:41, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The main reason I did the edit was someone jumped the gun before me and didn't do a good job of it. They changed it about 30 minutes before the switch. The article didn't really make sense referencing digital 36 UHF as their station but info box said digital 12 UHF. Yup had to change that to VHF too ;) Skywayman (talk) 05:49, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

I see that you have indeed been active in regard to SPI and the above editor. Further to my comments at my talkpage, I think (yet) another report to SPI should be made - with emphasis on the perceived threat made by the ip; I think a request that a CU investigates a potential rangeblock would be appropriate in light of this new development.

Re your messsge
Your welcome! Yeah, I was kind of busy to then. Abce2 | Free Lemonade  Only 25 cents!  14:05, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Please consider becoming a sysop
 LessHeard vanU would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then [ contact LessHeard vanU] to accept or decline the nomination. A page for your nomination at Requests for adminship/Arbiteroftruth. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.


 * re your acceptance (great!) and comments, this page#section notes the steps you may wish to take and the extent of advertising your nomination. Sticking to within the rules is an absolute. Hopefully, some other editors will note it on your talkpage and participate. In the end, I would trust the usual denizens of the RfA pages - they are quite tough, but ultimately fair; it is as good a preparation for the trials of adminship as the first complaint of admin abuse that hits ANI... One thing I noted when setting this up is that you had an untranscluded RfA from back in 2006 - smart admins may notice it, so you might wish to comment on that matter in this one. Anyway, look at your answers afresh and when you are comfortable with it transclude it to the main page (I can and will do it if you wish, but it looks better if you are comfortable with new processes to do it yourself). The last thing is; relax! Once you have made the decision, just let it fly - let it be just another item on your watchlist. Cheers, LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I see you have already received a question. I advise placing your answer after the RfA is transcluded into mainspace (you might have it ready beforehand). I am about to go to bed, so if you wish me to be around for when it goes live I suggest you do it in about 22 hours time (you will want to be around for when it finishes, which may be an hour or so after the deadline passes - so ultimately it is up to you; but I want the first support !vote registered! ;~) ) LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:01, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... It is not the response I expected. What do you want to do? Hold on for a couple of days and see if there any lessons to be learned, or to cut out now and contemplate what has been said to date - I have to admit there is very little chance of it now passing. Whatever you choose, it is best to consider this a learning experience and not to get too downbeat about it. If I can be of any further help on this or related matters you know where to find me. Mark. LessHeard vanU (talk) 18:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think giving it a couple of days to see what more dispassionate opinions might have to say is a good idea. I also think that making hard decisions about your future editing in light of this situation is premature; once you have decided that there is nothing more to be gained in running the Request then close it down, and then just relax for a while and let yourself come to a decision about what you want to do - but it doesn't have to be a permanent choice. Personally I hope you will stick around for a while yet, but then my judgement might not be what it could be... ;~) LessHeard vanU (talk) 19:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * An unsuccessful RfA only means you do not get the extra "sysop" buttons this time - otherwise you can carry on as before (or take a break) as you wish. There is no need to to let it effect your Wikipedia experience (think of it like a driving test; it doesn't mean that not passing also means you have to give up bike riding, etc.) Let me know when you have had enough "helpful hints" on the page, and I will close it down for you. LessHeard vanU (talk) 12:36, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Your comments at RfA
Hi! When you respond to others' comments in the support/oppose section, could you indent your posts with "#:" rather than with colons only? Otherwise it messes up the numbering (the next numbered comment will start from 1 again). Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 08:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The Chinese University of Hong Kong
You mentioned there is a "conversation" already. Could you link to it how it was decided that this page will use the name without the "The" prefix (which is not what it is per CUHK's website and other sources)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elliechio (talk • contribs) 07:40, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

It's a new day
I hope to see you around soon. If there is anything you want to ask me, you know where I am. LessHeard vanU (talk) 19:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Deaths in 2009 (Kanye West)
Thanks for the message, but it wasn't me! I reverted a previous edit which was a link to Twitter (the supposed "source" for Kanye West's "death"), but that inadvertently restored the hoax death notice. I was removing that as well but had an edit conflict as you removed it... --Canley (talk) 05:41, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

A voice from the past....
Inre this note... the article that you properly nominated for AfD in January of 2009 looked like THIS... poorly formatted... unsourced... full of hyberbole... pretty much a mess. I've done considerable work since then on what is residing at Article Incubator/Reed Cowan and wish it to be evaluated for possible return to mainspace. Yes, I still feel his awards and nominations as a TV journalist push at bringing him in per WP:ANYBIO. Even granting that some editors feel regional Emmy Awards might be non-notable, that the "regions" being covered represent such a large portions of the US is indicative that their notability as awards is reasonable to presume and easier to source. However, but more important to his notability... Cowan has become a newsman who is now himself making the news. He is the subject of news coverage as an activist and filmmaker, thus allowing him to meet the requirements of WP:GNG. The article has come a long way. Do you see portions of the article that might best go, as weakening it? Any thoughts or advice would be most welcome.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:10, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of BBC One 'Rhythm & Movement' idents
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is BBC One 'Rhythm & Movement' idents. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/BBC One 'Rhythm & Movement' idents. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
