Apprentice: "Brought to boardroom"
Hi Seaserpent, a few ppl are taking it upon themselves to try and make comments about who the PM is in this particular session. Well, in my formatting that I tried to standardise (which I hope ppl will follow), the order is: PM candidate of losing team, candidate 1, candidate 2 (with the latter being in alpha order) My question to you is should I italicise the PM, just so they stand out, or is it good enough to just have the PM name first, then the alpha order? thanks, δ ² (Talk ) 17:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd say that just having the PM first should be enough - the PMs are already named at the top of the section. I was thinking that we should perhaps come up with a table format for the weekly summaries as some of them are mighty confusing to read! Sea serpent 85 22:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Apprentice Series 1,2 and 4
I've been looking over our very quiet Wikiproject (whatever happened to Dale?) - once Series 4 comes to an end, how would you feel about getting all the B-Class series articles up to GA standard? Consider it our project collaboration, just trying to get the articles up to a decent standard as we have with Series 3. Let me know what you think? Perhaps we don't need to wait fro series 4 to end before starting on 1 and 2 Fritzpoll (talk) 22:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello! Just putting my two cents worth in, I am willing to help out. Though you've just beaten me to a load of edits on season one, we seem to be editing at the same time! maybe i should leave you to do it first lol? δ ² (Talk ) 12:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * How funny, I just noticed that too! I hadn't realised how much POV and unsourced info was in there until now. Feel free to carry on, I wasn't intending to go through every episode but I just couldn't stop! Back to revision now... Sea serpent 85 12:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Userpage iconsets
hello dude! just wanted to ask, I'm slowly finding my way around wikipedia now and am wanting to stylise parts of my user pages. how do i get icon sets and make menus like yours? can i just copy yours and use a different icon set? thanks δ ² (Talk ) 20:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Feel free to copy mine :) and don't worry too much about changing the icons - there aren't many matching sets on wiki. Have a look on the WikiCommons icons page for a fairly large amount of (largely unmatching) icons. If you want a hand with the specific formatting then let me know, as it's a little tricky! Sea serpent 85 22:49, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello! I hope you don't mind, I've tried to follow your example, but not sure if my pages can be easily navigated or if they are formatted correctly. can you have a look for me please? any suggestions/help would be much appreciated, found the formatting hard! I want to link the main photo to a related article, do you know how to do that? Many thanks, δ <font style="color:#2B547E">² (<font color="#FF9900">Talk ) 10:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Article collaboration
Hi there :-)

Just thought i would ask, to make collaboration easier, do you have msn messenger? <font style="color:#488AC7">δ <font style="color:#2B547E">² (<font color="#FF9900">Talk ) 12:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I do but am unable to use it on laptop I normally edit from - how about if I set up a collaboration subpage on the WikiProject? That way we can form a to-do list and make sure we're all working to the same goals? <font style="color:#488AC7">Sea <font style="color:#2B547E">serpent 85 12:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me, and we should tidy up the project page too. I've now added myself to the project, that the right thing to do? <font style="color:#488AC7">δ <font style="color:#2B547E">² (<font color="#FF9900">Talk ) 13:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Sources of roller coaster data
If a roller coaster's data on RCDB doesn't match up with its data on the park's official website, which should be used as a more reliable source? One would think the park that owns the coaster would know best, but then again, their website might be more concerned with marketing and "round numbers" than accuracy. Is there a consensus on this? --Skylights76 (talk) 06:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Apprentice GA status
Hey there, I'm ok, revising in-between wiki edits :-)

Um well that worked didn't it? Didn't realise there was so much difference between season one and season three; I honestly believed that it would make it a bit longer than 5 minutes lol. I guess I see the GA nomination as an MOT, and it just failed it. So, ok, lets put together a review, and sort it out. The reason given for it's quick fail was not enough sources.

I've also nominated season two, so lets see what that result is too. so any help you can give, and any more that I can do towards getting its status will be good for the project. Regards, <font style="color:#488AC7">δ <font style="color:#2B547E">² (<font color="#FF9900">Talk ) 00:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * LOL, ok, both nominations got shot out the water, and I can see why. though I do want to get them to GA status like Series 3. So, how we gonna do this? by the way, thanks for the informal review, looks very good! Many thanks, <font style="color:#488AC7">δ <font style="color:#2B547E">² (<font color="#FF9900">Talk ) 17:29, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the criteria are quite strict. Sources are the key - I've commented about this on the article talk page Fritzpoll (talk) 17:54, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Stealth logo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Stealth logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

WikiProject logo
Hello! Found the logo you created for WikiProject Sweden. Perhaps it is possible for you to create another for WikiProject Latvia? I am not that savvy with SVG-editors. Regards, Talk/♥фĩłдωəß♥\Work 18:29, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for uploading a version for WikiProject Latvia! Perhaps you can make the letters in "Latvia" of the same size as in the version for WikiProject Sweden? And perhaps emboss the edges of the circle? Talk/♥фĩłдωəß♥\Work 17:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi Seaserpent85

Thanks for inviting me to WikiProject The Apprentice UK. I am very grateful and would like you to know that if you currently need any help with the articles then just tell me. Also I accidently wrongly edited the members list on the WikiProject because I saw it was split into groups of five and I didnt want to ruin it, but I did by sorting it into groups of three. Could you try and fix it. Sorry about that and thanks. --Wikiisaac (talk) 18:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

RE: Problems
Hi SeaSerpent,

Thanks for the message.

I was at first, I thought the actual ApprenticeWikiProject page had dissapeared so I tried to move it too no avail, so I hope I have caused no damage. I did find it though :) I suppose the page will be quite busy tommorow with episode one starting and all!

Again, thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jennie--x (talk • contribs) 21:31, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Category:WikiProject Roller Coasters templates
I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted without discussion, in accordance with Criteria for speedy deletion. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding to pages that belong in it.

I tagged the category. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of tagging and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to remove the tag if you wish. However, removing the tag will not prevent deletion of the category if it remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with db-author.

I am a human being, not a bot, so you can contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 03:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I came across the logo you designed for WikiProject Sweden, it looks really cool and I tried to make a similar one for WikiProject Azerbaijan, unfortunatly I am not as skilled as you with SVG, could you perhaps create a new WikiProject logo for Azerbaijan?

Infox The Apprentice candidates
Could you have a look at your template and see if you can get the colord legend boxes to show up on only the weeks where there are actual candidate names? This is clunky and looks awful. We don't want to list all the remaining candidates in the box so as not to imply the order in which they were eliminated. Keeping them in alphabetical order is a nightmare; we don't want to list them at all. I tried filling in the candidate names with "other" and get a long column of orange boxes. That doesn't work, either.

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Berkshire WikiProject Logo.svg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

WikiProject Amusement Parks Article Clean-Up
Recently, an issue has been brought up regarding the notability of many articles within WikiProject Amusement Parks. As a result, a page has been created regarding this issue as well as a possible solution (which will be on-going). In a nut-shell, certain articles will be picked to be reviewed in each stage and the WikiProject members (you) will decide if the article should be deleted or kept based on Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

I hoping this will work and if it doesn't, oh well...I tried.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:MantisCP.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:MantisCP.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Kelly hi! 13:38, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
