??? - Romanian politics/party colours/SZNC
Still I do not understand why is an used color template deleted. I specified it was not made for testing. This color template is used in Hungarian and Romanian wiki also. -- Ercsaba74 19:55, Jun 19, 2008 (EEST) —Preceding comment was added at 16:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you're missing part of the template, as all it came out was bgcolor="#000099" which by itself does nothing. - Penwhale &#124; Blast him / Follow his steps 16:59, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In Hungarian and Romanian wiki is enough. I corrected the problem I think. -- Ercsaba74 20:58, Jun 19, 2008 (EEST) —Preceding comment was added at 17:59, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * AH! I see it now... It's transcluded, that would be why that I made a mistake at the start. sorry! - Penwhale &#124; Blast him / Follow his steps 19:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Barack Obama protection
I am not sure how you can justify adding full protection to an article that has not been edited for 16 hours. Please reconsider. -- Scjessey (talk) 16:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to request that this be lifted. The only real editing going on was my not so smart revert (which I then requested be re-reverted).  Could you please reconsider? Arkon (talk) 17:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Like I said before, the protection is only in place so a discussion can take place and that once it takes place, I'll remove the full protection. The lack of discussion is what upsets me really. - Penwhale &#124; Blast him / Follow his steps 17:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hope this doesn't sound rude, but you may want to take a look at the talk page again. The discussion has been extremely lively.  It might not have resolved anything yet, but thats no reason to protect a page.  Arkon (talk) 17:47, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. As a courtesy, please note that I've commented on this on the ANI page at WP:ANI#More trouble at Barack Obama - you marked it resolved but that seems to be the best place to discuss process. In short, it was a false ANI report, and there was no edit war. Thanks, Wikidemo (talk) 18:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Robert Half International
Was it not possible for you to simply restore/revert this page, which was for a major company on the List of S&P 500 companies, to an earlier non-spam version of the page? Instead, you deleted it on Jun 19, apparently due to a spam modification of some of the content. Only you know what was there in prior versions, before you deleted the whole page. For what it's worth, this practice of some administrators deleting all page history from view, rather than taking the time to revert/restore/correct a spammed page to a better version, is the main reason I stopped bothering to do any work in Wikipedia. 12.72.192.34 (talk) 20:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, the article was in need of rewrites and the deleted revision violated the copyright of the company's website. Yes, I believe that delete may be overboard, but there really isn't much for me to revert to, as many revisions read like advertisements. - Penwhale &#124; Blast him / Follow his steps 05:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Robert Half International is noteworthy, otherwise it wouldn't be able to sell $4.6 billion of services per year. I am a neutral party, and am willing to rewrite whatever article there was as soon as you revert it.  Just let me know.  Bagsc (talk) 09:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC)Bagsc
 * If you want, I'll restore it and move it to userspace until you're done. We can work on the details regarding that restore. - Penwhale &#124; Blast him / Follow his steps 15:08, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

G'day Penwhale
I don't think our wiki paths have crossed, so it's great to 'meet' you! I made this post just now, and then noticed that this page had been protected by you - this seems very sensible to me, and I thought you might be a good person to chat to about discussing how this year's election might work - or actually at this stage, discussing how the community might discuss how this year's election might work! best, Privatemusings (talk) 06:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Requesting undeletion
Hey PW, I am hoping you can restore the article on Robert Half International, which was recently the victim of an A7 speedy. RHI is a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company, the second largest (by market cap.) company in its industry in the U.S., and if the article did not make any claims of importance or significance, I will make sure that is does once it is restored. Thanks in advance, UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:55, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As you can see in a couple threads above, I'll restore it, but I need to know where to restore it to. (As in, I want to restore it to a user's space for a re-write before moving it into mainspace). - Penwhale &#124; Blast him / Follow his steps 09:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I created a subpage to my ID, User:UnitedStatesian/Robert_Half_International. If you could restore it there (with the Robert Half history, not mine), that would be great.  Thanks! UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:16, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Restored and moved. - Penwhale &#124; Blast him / Follow his steps 21:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikis Take Manhattan
WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and has evolved to include StreetsWiki this year as well.

 * Commons:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Gallery (our cool gallery)

WINNINGS? Prizes include a dinner for three with Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales at Pure Food & Wine, gift certificates to Bicycle Habitiat and the LimeWire Store, and more!

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

NYC Meetup: You are invited!
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, finalize and approve bylaws, interact with representatives from the Software Freedom Law Center, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the June meeting's minutes and the September meeting's minutes).

We'll also review our recent Wikis Take Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wikipedia Loves Art! bonanza, being planned with the Brooklyn Museum for February.

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
