Stieff Silver
I tried to improve the Stieff Silver article. If it survives the AfD process, the article should probably be moved to Kirk Stieff Company or Kirk Stieff. Could you please take another look at it? --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Vermont-school-stub
Hi - I've reverted your changes to the vermont-school-stub template and re-deleted the category. The category was deleted not that long ago as being seriously undersized by the requirements of stub categories. Please, in future, if you wish to change the existing workings of a stub template and/or category, first propose the changes at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. If a stub template categorises articles in a particular way, there is usually a very good reason for it doing so. Grutness...wha?  04:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I thought it was simply a mistake that this category did not exist. Nautica Shad e  s  11:11, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

FP handling
Thanks for taking care of some Featured Picture promotions and delistings. I just wanted to remind you to update the FP count on WP:FP when you do so. You missed it for the last couple of times, but luckily you did a promotion and then a delisting, so they cancelled each other out. :)  howch e  ng   {chat} 17:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well how do you know that wasn't on purpose... just kidding. Sorry about that. I usually remember to do it, I just forgot this time. Nautica Shad e  s  20:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks
 Thank you for participating in my RfA discussion! I appreciate you contributing your voice to the debate and its outcome. I hope how I wield the mop makes you proud. Thanks! &mdash; Saxifrage

FPC Promotion
Hi NauticaShades,

Just to let you know that the Featured Pictures you nominated Image:Tamias-rufus-001.jpg and Image:Ferrofluid Magnet under glass edit.jpg are due to make appearances as Picture of the Day on and February 25, 2007 respectively. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the captions at Template:POTD/2007-02-24 and Template:POTD/2007-02-25. Thanks!  howcheng  {chat} 18:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter, Issue 7, November 2006

 * Want to help on next month's newsletter? Don't want to receive these in future? Don't want it subst'd next time? – It's all here.

Thanks for your input
Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.

In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.

A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").

Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. -- SB_Johnny |talk|books 13:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Dalbury's RfA
My RfA passed with a tally of 71/1/0. Thank you very much for your support. I hope that my performance as an admin will not disappoint you. Please let me know if you see me doing anything inappropriate. -- Donald Albury 02:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Steely Dan project
Hmm. I would definitely support the creation of such a project, although I'm not so sure I could really contribute (my main contribution to SD-related articles so far has been shooting down the FA nomination). I have mainly focused on geography-related projects.

But I might be able to do something here or there. Daniel Case 17:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Encyclopædia Britannica
Hi

Did you ever report Bramlet Abercrombie for violation of WP:3RR as you wanted to? What was the result?

Did you notice he slyly reverted again and without any explanation or even an edit summary? [] He definitely wants to hide things and is not interested in an unbiased and objective article. --Espoo 10:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * When I said I was goingto report him, I meant I would if he did it one more time. The second diff is him removing it as per consensus on the talk page. He's not a bad guy, he just felt it was POV, which I suppose in a way it was. Anyhow, we decided that we should remove it, but added the inforamtion elsewhere in article (as you can in the diff). Thanks for trying to help, though. Nautica Shad e  s  10:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support at RFA
I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me at RFA, and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future. Cheers! -- nae'blis 22:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:TheOffice Josh.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:TheOffice Josh.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 11:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello; Image:Hills south west of Sanandaj near the village of Kilaneh.jpg is up for delisting on FPC nomination page. Please give us your opinion, or try to solve the problem the majority have with the picture. I think it deserves to stay FP. Thank you. ;-) --Arad 19:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
