Hi Little Mountain 5, love the new layout! It was good before but it's even neater now. :) Hope you're well, and Happy Holidays and an early Happy New Year to you! Acalamari 23:04, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you! :-D It was time for something new—I got bored of the old color scheme. I'm doing well; I just arrived home for the holidays, and am looking forward to some much-needed relaxation. Happy Holidays to you too! Cheers,  Little Mountain  5  23:23, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Roxy Ann Peak
This is a note to let the main editors of Roxy Ann Peak know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 13, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/January 13, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Roxy Ann Peak is a 3576 ft mountain in the Western Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Oregon. Composed of several geologic layers, the majority of the peak is of volcanic origin and dates to the early Oligocene. It is primarily covered by oak savanna and open grassland on its lower slopes, and mixed coniferous forest on its upper slopes and summit. Despite the peak's relatively small topographic prominence of 753 ft, it rises 2200 ft above Medford, and it is the city's most important viewshed, open space reserve, and recreational resource. Roxy Ann Peak was originally settled 8,000 to 10,000 years ago by ancestors of the native Latgawa tribe. In the early 1850s, a sudden influx of non-indigenous settlers led to the Rogue River Wars. After the wars, the Latgawa were forced away from the region onto reservations. The peak was named in the late 1850s after one of its first landowners, Roxy Ann Bowen. In 1937, the 1740 acre Prescott Park was created on the peak's upper slopes and summit from land donated by the Lions Club and the federal government, and the park is largely undeveloped.

 * I read the article for the first time just now. It's really interesting and well-done. I had no idea until this morning that you'd nominated it for FA and that it had been promoted. Yippee! Finetooth (talk) 03:14, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! It's the very first article I ever created (that still survives), but I just wasn't happy with it, so I decided to do some research and spruce it up. Who knew that so much information exists about such a "little mountain"? ;-) Cheers,  Little Mountain  5  03:38, 7 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Congratulations on getting Roxy Ann Peak up to featured status, Little Mountain 5. :) It's great to see something that I once lived near make it to the Main Page! Acalamari 15:07, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Great job on your little mountain Littlemountain! Valfontis (talk) 22:41, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits to Ashbeckjonathan
Hello, please do not add comments like that to Ashbeckjonathan. He's still new yet. He has only been on Wikipedia since October 2012. Why don't you pick on somebody your own size? 184.158.99.193 (talk) 22:22, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I wasn't "picking" on you, I was notifying you that you were violating one of Wikipedia's policies. I sincerely hope that my message wasn't the reason why you retired, because that certainly wasn't my intention. Cheers,  Little Mountain  5  00:24, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Satellite photo
Hi LM5, while going through the Oregon lakes category on Commons, I thought you could clear up some confusion with this photo: File:Howard Prairie Lake.png. The description you wrote says that it's Hyatt Reservoir. So which water body is it? Jsayre64  (talk)  18:34, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Whoops, that's definitely Howard Prairie. I fixed it. Thanks!  Little Mountain  5  18:53, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Some fast food for you!

 * Haha, thank you! I just happened to notice the request only a few minutes after it was made, and it was fairly easy to perform. Cheers,  Little Mountain  5  00:14, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

A hand-typed thank you
Hi Little Mountain 5, it was a delight to receive your support on my RfB. Thank you so much for it and for giving me your strong support. I do hope that I'll get to have the chance to support you at RfA one day, too. :) Best. Acalamari 23:22, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * ... for which I would by happy to provide a co-nom for, if you'd like. HINT. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 23:39, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * @Acalamari: Congrats, 'crat! Unanimous, too! It was a delight to support you; you certainly deserved it. I'm sure you'll continue to do well. As for the RfA, hmm...↓ :-)
 * @Ed: I really appreciate the offer, hint taken. I know it's been a while, and I think it might be about time. ;-) Late March would work well for me... I'll send you an update in a month or so. Sincerely,  Little Mountain  5  01:55, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * That sounds great! Just let me know. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:56, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

ArcGIS favor?
Hi LM5, would you mind checking data from the USGS National Map for Salt Creek, the Middle Fork Willamette tributary? I'm preparing the article in my userspace and I don't have an exact figure for the stream's length other than that it's more than 27 mi. Besides that, I will be about ready to publish the article. Thanks so much. Jsayre64  (talk)  21:07, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure: 48.327 kilometers, or almost exactly 30 miles. Nice work!  Little Mountain  5  21:45, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll add it as 30 miles. Jsayre64   (talk)  00:26, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Now nominated for DYK, in case you're curious. Jsayre64   (talk)  03:49, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

An RfC that you may be interested in...
As one of the previous contributors to Infobox film or as one of the commenters on it's talk page, I would like to inform you that there has been a RfC started on the talk page as to implementation of previously deprecated parameters. Your comments and thoughts on the matter would be welcomed. Happy editing!

Revert on Popular culture
i have no idea what you mean by saying that a pop culture reference should not be on a page about pop culture,it was totally cewl to have the elvise "thank you very much" thing at the end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.154.88.16 (talk) 18:15, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The article explains what popular culture is; it doesn't provide a list of examples of popular culture. Adding a poorly-spelled, off-topic note at the bottom of the article is unconstructive. <b style="font-variant:small-caps;"> Little Mountain  5 </b> 18:40, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi There, Thanks for the message regarding the 2011 edit which ostensibly came from this IP address and that you removed. Not sure from whence itactually came as it wasn't actually from this computer (which was only purchased in Jan 2013) or this service address... Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.140.101 (talk) 01:17, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem! Your current IP address was undoubtedly reassigned sometime in the past three years. You may want to create an account to avoid further confusion. I'll send you some more information regarding that on your talk page. Cheers, <b style="font-variant:small-caps;"> Little Mountain  5 </b> 01:41, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Template violates WP:MOS
In the article titled Noah there were Bible verses written as 12-15 (with a hyphen) where WP:MOS requires 12–15 (with an en-dash). I changed them to en-dashes and cited WP:MOS. The change was reverted by a user who claimed that an en-dash won't work because, he claimed, these are URLs – links to external web sites.

Is it possible to re-write template:bibleverse-nb to comply with WP:MOS while also linking to external web sites? Michael Hardy (talk) 17:02, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

RFA Question #5
When an unknown editor/IP repeatedly blanks sections of a BLP, especially an unsourced or poorly sourced one, always consider the possibility that the "editor" is also the article subject or someone closely related to the subject. And most importantly ... don't return unsourced information into a BLP until you have a reliable source for it. It's not up to the person removing the information to source it, it's up the the person who (re)adds it to the BLP to source it. Every time you revert a BLP blanking, you personally are taking responsibility for sourcing that information.

Also...if it's a completely unsourced BLP, consider whether it should be BLP-PROD or AFD'd, or possibly CSD A7 if there is no serious claim to notability. These kinds of BLPs are extremely vulnerable to poorly sourced negative material being added, as few people are likely to watch them.

Good luck with the RFA, I'm sure you'll do well. Risker (talk) 23:17, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the advice and support. I obviously haven't dealt with many BLPs during my time editing here, so I appreciate any help I can get. It's always good to be prepared for any situation. Sincerely, <b style="font-variant:small-caps;"> Little Mountain  5 </b> 00:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Harry & David?
Congrats on your successful RfA! I did my best to stir up some trouble. ;-) So I'm totally jealous you got more Supports than me! I'll try not to hold it against you. Anyway, not an admin-related task, but did you see this? I took a glance and it looks good but I don't have time to go over it with an, ahem, finetooth comb. It's the best effort at a COI editor being above-board I've seen in a long time. I'm going to use it as an example in the future. Cheers, Valfontis (talk) 21:35, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, haha! Apparently the misconception that I was running for a fifth time drew quite a few people to it. :-) No, I hadn't seen the proposed updates (I can't believe Harry & David wasn't on my watchlist!). I scanned through it quickly and I agree that it seems well done. I am fairly busy at the moment as well, but I might be able to take a more detailed look at it on the weekend.
