deletion
I added an external link to the Surfboard page on July 7th and you deleted this link on July 8th. 22:44, 8 July 2006 The wub (Talk | contribs) m (restore vandal removed content) Please let me know the reason for removing this link, which I have subsequently place back up on the page. It was not out of context and was placed alphabetically in the proper section. gavinm
 * Sorry, I was reverting some vandal edits and accidentally got yours in the middle of them. the wub "?!"  09:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Category:British Cultural Icons
Hello, wub. I have contributed to both Buckingham Palace and Trooping the Colour. I see that on both of these you recently removed the Category:British cultural icons with AWB, citing CFD. Relatively new to Wikipedia, I confine my activities to writing and the odd merge, and was unaware of this. Can you tell me what has happened to this popular and useful category? Has it been deleted? Or has it been merged? What has happened to the many articles which were under this category?

I will watchlist this page and check back here for an answer or would be grateful to hear from you on User talk:FClef

I am copying this note to the Help Desk and to a couple of Wikifriends more experienced than I, to see if they know what the fate of this category is. Best wishes. -- FClef (talk) 20:10, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi FClef. It was decided to delete this category along with a number of other related ones, at Categories for discussion. The specific discussion is located here. A notice of the discussion was placed on the category page, sorry if you missed it. I myself had nothing to do with the decision, I was simply clearing out some of the backlog of categories to be deleted. Don't worry, the articles that were in the category won't be affected!


 * As a fellow Brit, I have to admit I had something of a soft spot for this particular category. I happened to save a list of the articles that were in it since I figured they might be ones I was interested in editing (if I get time!). I've posted the list at User:The wub/British cultural icons if you want to take a look. Hope this helps! the wub "?!"  20:39, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Bonk!
You made a mistake. In the MediaWiki namespace. And it stayed that way for 15 days. And the previous edit to the page was a self-reversion by User:Angela of  the exact same mistake you made . Please don't do this in the future. Please always review the history of the any MediaWiki pages you edit. Please have a good day. (And, please pardon my scarcasm - it's too late at night, and I just spent way too long trying to find the specific MediaWiki page that got borked up.)

Categories for discussion
Hi The wub. I had a question. I noticed a while back that you moved Categories for deletion to Categories for discussion, but every sub-page, even the most recent ones, for the closed discussions are still listed as a "deletion" instead of "discussion" (e.g. Categories for deletion/Log/2006 August 27). Can you or someone fix this? — The Future  18:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Reqdiagram tag on Form constant
Hi... you added a tag to Talk:Form constant. Could you please elaborate, and respond to my comments on that talk page (or mine), and/or remove the tag? Thanks. --Storkk 13:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Replied on Talk:Form constant. the wub "?!"  14:11, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you ...
... for your comment about my comment on RfB. I appreciate that you noticed and took the time to write. Ironically, tonight I may have to wade in an RfD and advocate strongly for admin overruling of the majority view, but it's an exceptional circumstance. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I find the user consensus has things more-or-less right. Hope our paths will cross again on-Wiki. Regards, Newyorkbrad 22:46, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

AWB Checklist
Hey there! My bot account User:Sagabot was approved yesterday to run AWB, but its name isn't on the AWB checkist - and so I can't use it. Would you mind adding it under the Bot section? I thought I'd ask you because you were an Admin I spotted using AWB :) My current username is under 'Approved users', and my talk page contains messages about my bot approval. Cheers --Sagaciousuk (talk) 10:09, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Generation categories
Can I just ask you why you removed the generation categories from all the articles without asking anyone? It seems odd to do something so drastics without discussing it at the relevant WT:PCP talk page? H ig hway Daytrippers  17:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * See this request from User:A Man In Black. The articles are all in the new generation categories (with hyphens) due to the template, so I was just getting rid of the old categories. the wub "?!"  17:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was panicking. I think the "redundant" gave me the wrong end of the preverbial stick. Thanks for the help. H ig hway Daytrippers  17:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks
Hey The Wub, thank you for supporting my recent RfA. It finished with an amazing final tally of 160/4/1. I really appreciate your support. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 11:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
