Wikification
Hi, Sesameball. Thanks for your help in clearing the wikification backlog. Hopefully we'll get the December backlog finished by the end of this month. When wikifying articles, please be sure to add internal links ("wiki-links") to articles. Along with reformatting, general clean-up and tagging, this will complete the wikification process for each article. Cheers. – Liveste 07:02, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure thing - I think I've been a little conservative with it to avoid over-linking, but I'll pay attention to this area. Thanks! --Sesameball 18:23, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Now I owe you my thanks for protecting my user page. Zimbardo Cookie Experiment 19:31, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I have already posted on your talk page why the edits were reverted. Besides the obvious WP:NPOV issues, there was consensus on removal at WP:Football.--Sesameball 09:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Sakic pictures
Thanks. If you have any specific requests, you can make them here. As I mentioned on the Hockey image request talk page, I go to most of the Flames games and don't mind bringing the camera every once in a while. -- JamesTeterenko 05:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the PROD info
I've been a little preoccupied but I wanted to get back to you about the informative note you left on my talk page. I think you were responding to my comment on Articles for deletion/Yeremi Vargas where I wasn't sure about putting a PROD on the article. What I meant to say was that I wasn't sure how to switch to a PROD in the middle of an AfD. That is, do I close the AfD? Is there a template to add to the AfD page to indicate doing this? My question was more about the transition between the two rather than the PROD process itself. I know how to do a PROD, it was just the particular situation that was confusing me. I'm thinking it's not that important. I'll just let it play out in AfD and worry about it if there's no definitive outcome. Anyway, thanks for the info and help. Happy editing. Pigman what? / trail 18:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I understand now - totally misinterpreted the statement you made on the Vargas AfD. I should have realized from your user and talk pages you are very experienced on wiki. I will say that I have seen AfDs that have been closed with the reason that it was withdrawn by nominator, but I don't know if that is necessarily a standard or accepted practice. If it is, then that might be a way to go back from AfD to prod. Better to ask an experienced admin to be safe, I suppose. :P Good luck with your RfA, btw! --Sesame ball Talk 18:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Continued casino edits
FYI -- there are a few more unreferenced edits being made by Bgtd (talk • contribs), in case you wanted to know. SpikeJones 01:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I think I might take a backseat for now, until some admins become involved - it's becoming obvious that nothing we say or do will make the user in question understand what wikipedia is about (and, perhaps more importantly, what it's not about). I'll keep an eye for continued vandalism to your user/talk pages, though. -- Sesame ball Talk 02:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thx in advance. It's always fun when this type of thing pops up, isn't it?  (and Bellagio still needs to be reverted).  The good thing is that some admins popped into take a look as well.  Vegaswikipidian is a good egg, and he tries to stay on top of all the various Vegas articles anyway so it was just a matter of time before he noticed in general. Cheers!

JUNINHO
why you continue to destroy juninho page???????!!!!!!!look this video the 36 freekicks of juninho!!!!!!!!! http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=8wIeNT2Cc0k —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.16.131.219 (talk) 22:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In the same vein, why do you continue to try to use youtube to replace a verified, reputable source? I personally made the effort to find that source so that previously-unreferenced claims could remain; to describe such an act as "destruction" is disingenuous. And why do you insist on removing fact tags from articles? Learn to play nice. -- Sesame ball Talk 23:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

look this Reference http://www.espnsoccernet.fr/news/story?id=514288 he scored 36 freekicks and 88 goal with lyon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.16.131.219 (talk) 23:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I do not know to put the references I give to you real articles but you he helps me to put them!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.16.131.219 (talk) 00:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

juninho page
Hi there, i feel i am providing a point of view which the public will appreciate and further underlines the fact that juninho is an amazing long ball specialist. I don't feel that i am providing false information or a biased view on his ability because, looking at the facts, 89 goals out of 262 caps ratio-wise is alot better than the other players i have mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LeungM (talk • contribs) 19:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Please check the wikipedia policies and guidelines I have already posted on your talk page. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and therefore there are many things it is not. -- Sesame ball Talk 22:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I don't have time to keep reverting what I wrote so I'm not even going to try, I'll try to be polite and not just plain stubborn. Yes, agreed, Wikipedia articles need to contain pure dedicated facts on its subject, but what I'm trying to do is add a little bit extra detail, a 'wow' factor to engage readers. Whenever, i go browsing on wikipedia for football players, all I read is reams of useless statistical information blah blah blah that when i read about someone as exciting as juninho i am disappointed to read nothing about his skill, his prowess, his ability that makes him such a talented player. Furthermore, its not like I have vandalised the page, there is no immaturity to the content i have provided. That is my rant, do what you want, ban me if you want you emotionless robot for trying to add a bit of zest to these articles (that probably no one reads) - My life extends much much further than just contributing to wikipedia. Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LeungM (talk • contribs) 00:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There are many ways to engage readers while staying well within the scope of wikipedia; many of the thousands of feature articles demonstrate that. Sorry that you feel so strongly about not adhering to the encyclopedic nature of wikipedia; it's also unfortunate you choose to expend your energy by engaging in name-calling. As for the Juninho Pernambucano page, it exceeds 10,000 views per month (as per ). -- Sesame ball Talk 01:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

As mentioned before, this is a rant and as per usual there will be forms of name-calling and intimidation present. Moving on, i would like to express thanks for introducing the statistical website to me, wikipedia just does not stop impressing me so thank you and goodbye.--LeungM (talk) 17:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Breakdance article
I see what you mean with the media. But I belive that Wikipedia should have the right information, not just what the media says. Breakdancing is a term coined by a journalist somewhere in 1980. The real name was never breakdancing, but b-boying (DJ Kool Herc used that when he started playing the music at his free parties. People are not shure if it stands for 'beat' boy or 'break' boy though). Can it be a redirect (after it has been merged) when the article introduction includes an explanaition of why it is not called breakdancing (see the Controversy section of the breakdance article). Thanks in advance. (Please reply at my talk page) Pseudoserpent (talk) 02:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Ice Hockey Help Request
Hi. I'm currently rewriting the article on the UK team the Blackburn Hawks. I have no experience writing Wikipedia articles, so would really appreciate any help you could offer! Being a small, local team, there isn't a big fanbase to help with the writing, and it seems like I'm doing it on my own... Let me know if you could take a quick look and offer any pointers. Thanks AltitudeJunkie (talk) 20:08, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

WP:FOOD Needs You!
Hi there Sesameball! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?

If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?

First off, go here and add Tick (✅) next to your name if you're still part of the project.

Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.

You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Shunsuke Nakamura, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GiantSnowman 07:03, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * oh please, that's nonsense. Team honors are rarely cited - even on FA-rated articles many lack citations (see, e.g., Gilberto Silva). At the very least you could WP:AGF and just add a citation needed tag, especially given that the most cursory google search would reveal that the article subject did play for the teams in question during the competitions noted - not to mention I stated in the edit summary that I would add additional citations later, when I had time. -- Sesame ball Talk 22:34, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll add here I have posted to the appropriate wikiproject talk page for guidance on what constitutes an acceptable citation for club honors, as I have no interest in engaging in petty edit wars. -- Sesame ball Talk 22:46, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
