St. Patrick's Classical School's crest
Hello Luke,

StPatsCrest.png is the crest of St. Patrick's Classical School. I was wondering if you could change the External Ornaments from black to green as shown in External Ornaments of a Bishop.svg as the school is under the patronage of a Bishop, not a Abbot. But would you keep the motto of the school black and the other designs the same if you could. I would greatly appreciate this kind change as I am not as skilled enough. Thanks

 * I'm not sure what you want me to do, to be honest. I'm not a skilled image editor, and besides, I don't see what would be achieved by this, unless you can show some evidence to prove that the real school's crest has changed. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 12:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Echo means that I already receive such notifications, but thanks. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 19:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I know it does, but I still think it's good form to drop an actual message. Thanks for responding over there.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:54, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

I added a reference for Swift's performance but instead of removing my line, you could have just added a Cn tag and that would have been fine. Otherwise you can remove all the lines that preceded what I added since they are unsourced as well... --Sofffie7 (talk) 21:32, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Not everything needs to go because it is unsourced, but anything of that kind (stating they were part of a major awards ceremony) requires a reference - the burden is on the adding editor to find a reference, not other editors to reference it for them (or even tag it as unsourced).

Draft topic ban Jax
I would like to see you comments and additions to User:The Banner/Workpage28, the draft for a topic ban proposal regarding Jax 0677. Hope to hear soon. The Banner talk 12:11, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Where do you wish me to put my comments? :) Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 12:56, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * At the talkpage there. The Banner talk 14:12, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Now see what you've done!
Picking on harmless Swedish academics! You should be ashamed of yourself. EEng (talk) 05:19, 22 May 2013 (UTC) BTW, what is fly-ash, anyway?
 * Are you actually being serious? For one, you're clearly gullible enough to believe that story. For another, this user is so harmless that they have launched a stream of attacks against various users, rejected any attempts at being helped, solicited meatpuppet IPs, and used a sockpuppet account (note that I didn't file the investigation against that one). Clearly, this user is harmless and an asset to Wikipedia... I have no idea what Fly-ash is, look up its page here. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 06:56, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * If I'd said, "Picking on harmless Swedish academics whose only wish was to give due recognition to material scientists who have labored long in obscurity making the world a better place by energetically modifying cement," would it have been clearer whether I was serious or not? EEng (talk) 11:32, 22 May 2013 (UTC) P.S. Fly-ash is apparently something that goes into cement -- Jono was always talking about it.
 * Ah, I see what you mean, reading things before 8 in the morning clearly doesn't work for me :D Based on that, I presume you didn't buy the collapsing story either? Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 12:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought about suggesting Jono check out Help:Collapsing but I would have been pilloried. EEng (talk) 13:12, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * There's a place for people like you... ;) Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 13:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Lee Novak
Let's get a discussion going at Talk:Lee Novak please. GiantSnowman 11:27, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Alansohn discussion at ANI
Thank you for participating in the ANI discussion, and for having the decency for stating the obvious: That Alansohn was wrong in what he did. However, you stated nothing further after Alan's response, and the discussion was archived, before I could even respond, as I have been busy with other things outside of Wikipedia. I've restored it, with my response, evidence from the past 6 years of his behavior, and a call for a resolution. Can you please offer your thoughts? Thank you.

Afds
I think your missing the point, regardless of how i nominated them or whether i called them groups are not. I came to the conclusion these artists are clearly non notable people that do not deserve a Wikipedia page. So there is no need to keep leaving harsh comments like i don't know what i'm doing. Koala15 (talk) 14:11, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * At least one of those AFDs certainly suggests that they are a notable group/musician. Not only that, your rationale of "non-notable x" is quite vague, and is thus easily defeated. I was attempting to advise you on how you could improve; if you don't wish to take my advice, fine, but someone may well get very frustrated with you, if you continue in this manner.

Proposal: topic ban for Jax 0677 regarding templates

Re:Oops
Hi there, no worries, if you need any help with MOS/writing articles in future then let me know, I've started over 3,000 of the buggers so I should (hopefully!) know a thing or two. Oh, and thanks for cleaning up my clean up ;) GiantSnowman 15:46, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * None of us are perfect, I usually focus more on neutralizing language and expanding articles than making them 100% stylistically perfect, (although that's not saying I would deliberately mess up an article!) apart from when I GA nom an article :D Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 15:49, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, let's at least get you started on the path toward stylistic perfection: None of us are perfect => None of us is perfect. :P EEng (talk) 00:04, 24 May 2013 (UTC) (I'm stuck somewhere just now and have nothing better to do than give you a hard time, you see.)
 * I disagree that the above is the correct way to say that. :p Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 07:00, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, none of us is exempt from error. :P EEng (talk) 08:09, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Another sock?
I was doing a sweep of some articles and happened upon an article for a Barelvi cleric which I had cleaned up - an article for a cleric whom I actually like, ironically enough. I was then accused of vandalism while being reverted here, here and here. What do you make of the language of this Ecomaster guy? Another long time sock? Considering that we just saw a six-year sock banned, it is theoretically possible. MezzoMezzo (talk) 07:19, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's plausible, but the account is stale at present, and I can't see any "smoking gun" in the edit summaries, which is all I have to go on - since this user has never utilized a talkpage. I'm currently more inclined to believe that this is actually a third editor (ie, not CSGU or Msoamu) at present, but they're definitely worth keeping an eye on.

How Rude...!
Of me! Woops ;-) Narom (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Was wondering what this referred to at first xD - not sure quite how you managed to break my sig, yet, you did. :p Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 17:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

WP:FOOTBALL
I agree, and would say we need to come up with new, detailed notability/MOS pages to provide guidance on all issues related to football. GiantSnowman 09:16, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Great, cheers! GiantSnowman 17:18, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

In my experience, a cn tag usuall has little-to-no effect. It is much better to remove and then re-add with reliable sourcing, rather than allowing unsourced and potentially poor material to remain on the off-chance someone comes along and starts citing. GiantSnowman 17:28, 27 May 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) 01:10, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
