P. Balasundarampillai
Hi. I note that you have re-named the above article to Ponnuthurai Balasundarampillai. Balasundarampillai is a Tamil and Tamils usually initialise their first name. If you Google P. Balasundarampillai you get more results than if you did Ponnuthurai Balasundarampillai, so P. Balasundarampillai is the most common name. I am going to revert.-- obi2canibe talk contr 17:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * OK. I hadn't read up on Tamil naming conventions. Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (cackle)  @ 18:27, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Long ago in a galaxy far away....
There was an adoptee named Rcsprinter. But TheOriginalSoni could never find the time to give the test. Not any more! Now TOS is completely free and will be taking the test any day you give him. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 15:37, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably later today or something... I'm the one often pushed for time now. :-) Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (gab)  @ 14:34, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Jetix
Just a note that following your close of Redirects for discussion a few of the redirects still had the rfd template on them. I've now fixed it and removed the templates.--Salix (talk): 10:44, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Right, thanks. Complex rfd scripts + iPad + late at night aren't the best combination. Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (talk to me)  @ 14:35, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Sanctuary Lakes Football Club
Hi Rcsprinter, I noticed you delsorted Sanctuary Lakes Football Club under Football the Football delsort page is intended for Association football only not Australian rules football. So I struck the football delsort and resorted under Sports. Just thought I'd let you know for future reference, simple mistake to make not the first or the last time someone's going to make it, Regards. &#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733; 02:32, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, that's good. Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (post)  @ 06:34, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Adoption
Hi there, I am wondering if it is okay if I start an adoption program with you as my adoptee. I need to get myself more aware of the do's and the dont's of editing. You can see the issues I have gone through in my talk page. So please consider my request for the adoption program, Cheers! --Prabash ''' What?  22:40, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I saw this edit on my watchlist and thought "that's a hell of a way to find out you're adopted". -mattbuck (Talk) 22:54, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm on your watchlist? This may be a good time to say http://glo.li/16jFVY3, or it may not... Sir  Rcsprinter ,  Bt (deliver)  @ 20:15, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello, Prabash. I've never happened upon you before so this message was entirely unexpected. Now, are you saying adoptee when you mean adopter, meaning you want me to adopt you, or are you saying adoptee as in adoptee meaning you would be adopting me? If the latter, I will say no chance. It is more likely you made a typo, however, and are wishing for me to teach you about wikipedia. If this is the case, while I would normally take you on, I have absolutely no time for wikipedia right now as I am snowed down with real life issues. Please clarify which you meant, and perhaps why you came (seemingly randomly) to me out of all adopters. Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (deliver)  @ 20:15, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

You were recommended to me by User:TheOriginalSoni, and I meant adopter. Yeah adoption course that's what I was told to do and I thought it would help me decently, so ya if you dont mind, feel free to ring in and if you want start an adoption program for me. Thanks! --Prabash ''' What?  02:57, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I'll have to turn you down, no time for a new adoptee. May I instead suggest User:Yunshui? Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (gab)  @ 16:42, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Its cool, thanks for the support, I will notify User:Yunshui In a bit. Cheers! --Prabash ''' What?  20:14, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

WorldTraveller101 requesting my adoption
Hi Rcsprinter, the above user is requesting me to adopt him as his trainer has retired. Do you mind if I use your materials and perhaps, consult you anytime if I'm not exactly sure about like, how to answer his questions, or I'm not exactly sure of any of his test answers? Cheers. Arctic Kangaroo (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 05:42, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * You have my permission to knock yourself out. Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (message)  @
 * Um...no, I don't mean that. Anyway, TheOriginalSoni has already agreed to adopt WT. I wanted to get on with my adoption course under you now, but seeing that you currently seem so irritated with real life after reading your talk page, I will just continue a few weeks later. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 07:03, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * No, you can carry on now if you like. I still have time for you. :) Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (natter)  @ 15:07, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Double-confirm that you are not that mad with real life now before I continue to read those stuff. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * But anyway is RL the reason why you edit so little, and spend so little time on WP everyday? Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:24, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't remember saying I'm mad with real life, it's just that there's so much of that keeping me busy there's no time for editing, much as I would love to. Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (chat)  @ 16:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I just thought you sounded rather frustrated with this and this. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 06:50, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Knock yourself out means go and do it, not literally knock yourself out. Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (natter)  @ 10:59, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I actually thought you were saying that "You can get out of my adoption if you want to!". Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 14:27, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Blatant Copyvio
This is to inform you that I will be having a blatant copyvio for the first phases of my adoption program with PBASH607. I, however, hope to be personalising my adoption to fit the needs of the adoptees as the time passes by.

Deletion test
Hi Rcsprinter, I'm not sure if you noticed that I had already asked for the test a few days ago. But anyway, I just want to inform you that I'm most likely going to put off the test to after the haze is over. As you can see, I'm very busy with that now. Cheers. PS- Don't need to apologise for being late. You probably know why already. Arctic Kangaroo (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 05:16, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As usual, I'd only forgotten. I've put it up now anyway, for whenever you are smog-free. Yes, I say smog to rub it in that I use British English. "Lol." Sir  Rcsprinter,  Bt (rap)  @ 20:09, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, the word "smog" is commonly used in American English as well, even if we didn't coin it here. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 00:54, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * @Rcsprinter: Singapore officially uses British English, but we never call it "smog" here, only "haze". Singapore is rojak anyway.  Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:11, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * @Rcsprinter: Forgot to add, the haze has improved since last night, but it may still come back anytime if the wind changes back to the original direction. So, I may be doing the test anytime now if I'm free. Arctic Kangaroo  (  ✉  •  ✎  ) 15:12, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:


 * Views/Day : Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
 * Quality : Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:


 * Content : Is more content needed?
 * Headings : Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
 * Images : Is the number of illustrative images about right?
 * Links : Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
 * Sources : For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:43, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
