I can not make any sense of your archive system. I once congratulated you for your FA productivity. I don't see it in the archives I have trolled through.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:54, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Its not that complex as they are all there and you can navigate them by changing the URL, for example see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:YellowMonkey/Archive163. But there are no links or any way to easily navigate them and they aren't indexed :(. -- Eraserhead1 &lt;talk&gt; 18:00, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Catholic Church RfC
Hi YM, NancyHeise has said she would like to open an RfC on the Catholic Church issues, so I've created a structure at Requests for comment/Catholic Church, in case she wants to use it. I'm letting you know about it because you're an admin who's been involved in this issue before, so it would be great if you could help to keep an eye on the RfC if she does indeed initiate one.

Christianity in India
Would you please remove semi protection for Christianity in India. I put up a request in the semi protected articles list but to no avail. I am very passionate about the subject and I am disappointed at the way the article is presented. The article does not provide a complete picture of Christianity in India. I do not see a point why it should be semi protected. Would you be kind enough to un-protect it. Thank you. --Kariappa07 (talk) 17:48, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Hamence
Sad news ...

Who would be the oldest now, Loxton? -- Mattinbgn\talk 03:39, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes Loxton and then Morris, both 1921, then Maddocks, K Archer, N Harvey (bless him), Rutherford, McDonald Davidson (per Cricinfo's 80+ listing) Benaud (not 80 just yet).....Loxton has gone blind although Morris and Harvey (hooray!) still were very alert at the centenary in 2008. Harvey was a very fit player in his day and long may he continue to speak plainly and not politically-correctly until October 2028. There was a bit about Hamence in the suburban paper a few weeks ago about him still sending in donations to West Torrens CC every year. Very sad  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  03:50, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, Sachin Tendulkar was on there twice with the pictured slot; I took the photo. Monkeygate I was only a minnority expander as about 30k sprung up in one day after the match.... hangon, Thorpey was up there a few days before I put it to FAC because he retired, although in hindsight it should not have been allowed on  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  03:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

The return of CU request

 * Another, not urgent. This is relating to a crusade to change BCE/CE to BC/AD on many articles. Initially an editor (see talk page), was blocked once for this disruption. Has used two IPs that I know of --  and . The second IP is quite obviously the same (based on talk page contributions) and accusations of admin abuse. The IPs just get active when the editor is, and this case is likely headed to ANI soon, so figured I'd give you a head's up. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  02:34, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Right. Yuvi=New Inzy  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  03:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * On Yuvi, I probably missed something. What's the new development? &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:01, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Just check him out on the footage. Huffing and puffing ridiculously, Lehmann-style, and Sanga openly rubbished him in an interview. And how did Chawla get in there ahead of Ojha. At least Kohli isn't there, although selection aside India probably won't make the semis regardless  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  09:12, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Didn't find anything at all useful on youtube, will probably see a bit when I'm in India soon. Haven't been following the cricket news much anyway. It's overkill in terms of number of matches and the match reports aren't exactly something to read. For the first time I followed an Aus-NZ series with so much interest though, that's what IPL's done to me! &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  02:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I think I've only clocked up a total of 7-8 hours this year, especially with the rubbish ads and commentary.  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  02:40, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

 * = and, likely some sleepers around.
 * =, blocked, but could perhaps have a couple of sleepers too (there were last time). This one is blocked.
 * M&T cnfirmed, Linkin didn't match, and nothing new on the second set.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket! ) 03:07, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the confirmation YM. Abecedare (talk) 04:09, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

And another, sock of. We need a full time CU for this nonsense now, sorry. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:35, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You should run for the CU intake. Nothing lost by a failed tilt. You probably don't want to tell them you hang around with ol' monkey the disruptive reactionary though. Last year I was checkusered for suspected troublemaking  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  02:47, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Confirmed  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:31, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I've become very unproductive (content wise) on wiki after becoming an admin. Also, traveling and stuff right now, so on wiki time will be in blasts, not regular. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing lost by having a tilt. Many people who get appointed to CU/OS are socialites and social climbers who spend their time fawning rather than doing anything :(  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  01:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, is there any collateral damage for 117.204.120.239/16? The past 50/500 IP edits show mostly this one chap ("date change vandal"), but I can't say much about logged in editors. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:56, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, because it crashes CU if you try the whole range  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:31, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I did a /21 block, seems to have slowed him down, but he came through once at the /17 level. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Protection policy
Not sure if you know or care about the conversation going here, but much of it seems to be centered around objections to your actions specifically, with two users making one proposal after another to limit or change protection policy. Whenever they are pressed about demonstrating the need for these changes your name seems to come back up. Just thought you should know. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:01, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

User talk:JaWandaWiggins
This user you blocked is currently requesting unblocking. For what it's worth, I'm not sure what called for an indefinite block without any warnings. Is there some reason we're not assuming good faith or trying to educate this user about proper practices? – Luna Santin  (talk) 05:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sometimes a hunch based on subtle contextual clues is enough. Or not so subtle clues, like accusing the blocking admin of racism without any basis to make such an accusation. This is a troll we've got here, I'm sure of it. Beeblebrox (talk) 08:01, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't mind an unblock but given his edit summary on VVS Laxman and his other vandalisms I don't think you'll get anything useful out of him  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  02:15, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * My hunch seems to have been correct: Sockpuppet investigations/LeTroy89. I'm all for assuming good faith, but I'm also a fan of trusting my instincts, which screamed at me that this was a troll. Beeblebrox (talk) 03:00, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * This is what I get I suppose, the CU on the case just turned around and said that although LeTroy had several socks that JaWanda was "technically unrelated." Great.Beeblebrox (talk) 03:14, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Deaths of old people aren't allowed unless it is a 100 yrs old, or an assassination etc, plane accident of an important guy. You'll have to find a date when they set some record. With all your landmarks, the opening date could be used. Is the inaug of Obama up there?  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  03:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Are National Historic Landmark designation dates O.K.?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:52, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. Since every United States President is inaugurated on the same day, I don't know that that is an appropriate day for any one of them.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:54, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Pity about the inauguration. I think you could try one of those NHL dates, or perhaps the opening was more notable, I'm not sure. For the golden thing, I just noticed the part about the featured pic, so that rules things out. I will now give you a personal invitation to the photo poll above, given your status as the most prolific sports writer on wiki.

First Test 1948
Just a quick word. Bowes has a bit of stuff on this test if you would like me to add it on. Also, came across a little bit regarding the dropping of Hutton after the second Test due to him "flinching". I can add that to the second test article if you think it would be useful. And found a bit on Yardley which refers to these first two tests if that's any good! --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. Yes please  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  00:50, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Added some content from Bowes about English tactics and also added a bit from Wisden to give an English verdict on the massacre! You'll probably need to massage it a bit to make it fit better. Feel free to take anything out that doesn't work. Also added the info on Hutton to 2nd test article but again it may need tweaking as it feels a bit stuck on. The stuff on Yardley is more of a summary of his achievements in the whole series, so I'm not sure where it would go. It comes from Gibson's Cricket captains of England and it also claims that the selectors (i.e. Walter Robins) wanted to drop Yardley later in the series. Don't know how true this is. --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:48, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * And just to add some naked Yorkshire prejudice :) Is it worth pointing out in the background that Australia struggled against Yorkshire in the build up? --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:51, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello? It's taken 10 mins for your talkpage to load and I don't even get an answer. Silly monkey. Anyway, I nominated a FARC last night. The Indian arts have been annoying me for some time... so is Canberra ... you using refs from Australia? And yes, Hodge and Marsh would be better. — Aaroncrick  ( talk )   04:53, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * To be honest, it's unfortunate to say but most people can't be bothered doing any more than teh bare minimum to get their star and won't fix an old article unless you threaten to confiscate their star. As for any projects, one people notice a trend of bad articles they can just keep on sequentially nomming a pile of articles by the said person or wikiproject, eg Nichalp's are always getting put up. Nevertheless, Yarralumla is just sitting around waiting, worse than Canberra, and fauna of Australia doesn't look good. Malleus has been down at WT:MHCOORD getting stuck into the cut-and-paste USS articles from DANFS, so maybe there might be a spree on the boat articles  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:58, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Archived some of the sections of the poll which reached consensus. Maybe you can vote now :)  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:58, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

That's considerate of you. Should be fine soon. Tryin' to work out how to get a spell checker to work - I'm sure you can. I don't want to nom Aus articles, however. — Aaroncrick  ( talk )   06:08, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I just try and work on them from time to time so I don't see the point, but when the other unsourced articles get bumped off, if Australian ones aren't improved, the probability of them getting picked off rises  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  06:12, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Iravan
I am planning a FAC for Iravan soon. Can you please check the WP:ALT (though it a temporary suspected FA criterion), as do did for Kanhoptra? Other suggestions for improvement are also welcome. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 17:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well you can get away with being brief as people don't seem to make sure that it is detailed as in the example on the policy page, eg List of international cricket centuries by Virender Sehwag has a pile of "Man in blue India uniform" type stuff. But it is optional anyway, but if you are going to bother might as well do it in detail. For the refs, dashing is needed still, I've done some, and your footnotes aren't consistent because of some with spacing after the p/pp. and some without. Another thing that sticks out is that the article switches between different spelling variations of his name.

protetction of St. Joseph's Convent School, Sagar
