Welcome to Wikipedia

RE: Thanks
Thanks for the message you left on my talk page, and glad I could be of service! The easiest way to clean up vandalism and spam is via the rollback tool. If you are willing to abide by the rollbacker rules (WP:ROLLBACK), I would be more than happy to grant you access. If, after reading WP:ROLLBACK, you promise to follow the rollback rules to the best of your ability, just drop a quick message on my talk page saying as much and I will update your rights. Thanks again for your help in keeping Wikipedia clear of vandalism and spam! --Kralizec! (talk) 12:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure about Huggle, but the user rights log still shows you as being a rollbacker . — Kralizec! (talk) 17:56, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Your request for rollback
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! Kralizec!

 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback may be removed at any time.
 * You da'man! -- Mjquin_id (talk) 03:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Messaging members
To perform the roll call, I went down our members list, checked who had not edited anything recently and moved them to the Retired list, then messgaed everyone else using copy-and-paste. Then I used What Links Here to find anyone who had the userbox but wasn't on the members list, and send them a message about the roll call. All in all, it took me a couple of hours.

However, I think there might be an easier way, because some projects send out newsletters to all their members (which I think is a bot task). It depends on how many members you have whether this is a good idea. strdst_grl  (call me Stardust) 10:28, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Spoken Wikipedia Review
Hi there. I noticed that you signed up to review a Spoken Wikipedia article and was wondering if you were still working on that project. Thank You--Fumitol (talk) 08:04, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Request for help concerning energy...
Hi, I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.

There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.

The new energy outlines are:


 * Outline of solar energy
 * Outline of wind energy

Please take a look at them, and....
 * if you spot missing topics, add them in.
 * if you can, improve the descriptions.
 * add missing descriptions.
 * show parent-offspring relationships (with indents).
 * fix errors.

For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Outlines.

Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called "reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.

Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...

As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking Main links, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

Thank you. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 00:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC) P.S.: see also Outline of energy

WTT
Hi. I've been doing lots of work on World TeamTennis articles and noticed what you wrote six years ago on the talk page for the main article about the league:

I am trying to validate information from Pittsburgh Triangle History

'In the fall of 1972 Chuck Reichblum and his partner, local attorney Bill Sutton, hatched the idea that tennis fans might be more enthusiastic about rooting for a team rather than individual, and sometimes unknown, players in the standard tournament format. So they formed the National Tennis League (NTL), held a New York news conference, and began offering franchises to investors around the country for $250,000. The original Triangles franchise was owned by Reichblum, Sutton, and Fox Chapel businessman, sports promoter, and financier Frank Fuhrer, who eventually acquired a controlling interest in the Triangles. A few months later in February, 1973, Larry King (Billie Jean's husband) and a group of sports business men also announced plans for a team-based tennis league, the International Professional Tennis League (IPTL). But before the inevitable lawsuits were launched, the NTL and IPTL merged amicably and WTT was born. It consisted of sixteen franchises in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Toronto (the Eastern Division) and Florida, Chicago, Houston, Denver, Minnesota, Hawaii, Los Angeles, and San Francisco/Oakland (the Western Division). Each team would play a forty four match season.'

The external link to the Pittsburgh Triangles History page is broken. But I have found two reliable citations about the formation of the Triangles:

Announcement of founding of WTT Announcement of Fuhrer acquiring majority control of Triangles

I made some changes to the Pittsburgh Triangles article about the team's history, but the article still needs a lot more work. I could get to it eventually, but I thought you might want to take a look, since you seem to be personally interested in the Triangles. You may want to look at the other 1970s World Team Tennis articles I've created for an idea of what I'm proposing to set as a standard for articles about these teams. Unfortunately, complete information on many of the teams is hard to track down, and some were more intensely covered by the local media in their markets than others. The Triangles appear to have gotten lots of coverage in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. So, I think that completing the article will be fairly simple with a few Google searches. If this isn't your thing, no worries; I'll get to it.

As for the original franchises that are mentioned in the Triangles History web page you referenced, the information they give is a bit incomplete. The 16 franchises they mention are the ones that started the 1974 season. But by that time, the St. Louis franchise had moved to Florida, the Phoenix franchise had moved to Baltimore, and the San Diego franchise had given itself a name (the Swingers) and then moved to Hawaii. See 1974 World Team Tennis season.

The dealings between the Triangles and Leis regarding Sue Stap and Nancy Gunter are not stated correctly in the Triangles article. presumably this came from the source cited above which appears a little weak. Here are two sources that describe the nature of the deal the teams made:

Stap traded Hawaii Stap back to Pittsburgh for Gunter

Gonzalez broken nose
FYI I found the source for Gonzalez broken nose in beating Schroeder in a couple different newspaper archives and I added the LA Times source. The article was on my watchlist so your removal actually brought it to my attention to dig around. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:33, 5 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Seriously? Man, I thought I dug pretty deep because I thought I read it in a book also. Hey, thanks for the continued support of Tennis articles! (Because no one else is going to say it...) - Mjquinn_id (talk) 18:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I slightly changed the wikipedia wording. It almost sounded like it was Schroeder who had a broken nose, so i made it clearer. There are so many here that do more than I do as far as content, but I try to keep the vandalism down and add sources if I can find them. As I said, if I hadn't seen your article cleanup I wouldn't have even searched for this missing source in newspapers. I couldn't find anything in google search and my first look through newspapers didn't show anything. I noticed on Gonzales' stats page that there was a loss to Schroeder in Feb 1949 in La Jolla, so I figured that had to be it if it existed. So that's the month and year I zeroed in on. Then it popped up quick as I read the article. Cheers. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:12, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Presidency Navigation Templates vs. Biography Navigation Templates discussion
Hello, Mjquinn id! Since you are listed as an active member of the United States Presidents WikiProject, would you mind leaving a comment at a project talk page discussion about a series of templates that I created for the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush? Another editor and myself disagree about whether there should be a separate navigation template for each Presidency apart from the biographical navigation template. Thanks! -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 21:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
