Unfortunately, I have to prepare for moving to college. Also, my girlfriend has requested that I spend a lot less time on Wikipedia.

For these reasons I may not be able to return to this wonderful project. I may stop in every month or so, but otherwise goodbye fellow wikipedians.

One question, can non-admins vote in RFA's? I'd like to support some people. WikiZorrosign 18:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Um, I don't want the user box unfortunately. I'm trying not to have an overload of userboxes. And yes, non-admins can !vote in RfAs. I actually participate in my spare time. Just don't treat RfA as a joke by saying some random nonsense while !voting. --RyRy5 (talk copy-edit) 23:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

RE: LAAFan's page

edit

I mentioned, in the MfD, the fact that this boosts "User talk space" edits. That doesn't exactly get the user off to a good start in the community. If this could be more WikiSpace or mainspace friendly, somehow, that would be great. I can't think of anymore specifics as of yet, though. I am going to state my opinion in the edit after this, on the MfD. Good luck! Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 01:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is actually a reason why I'm still neutral in my MfD !vote. It strongly encourages user talk namespace edits. --RyRy5 (talk copy-edit) 01:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

WWS

edit

Hey, a user keeps pressing on Wikifying the userbox. They added a link, but I don't know anything about Wikipedia Userboxes. Could you help me with that?--LAAFan 14:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Userfy

No, I mean move it to a subpage of the LAA Fan's WWS subpage, and CSD the remnants in template space (per WP:UBM). let me know if you need further clarification. best, xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 20:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello. As LAA's adopter, you should see the cleanup he did here. I just thought you should know. --RyRy5 (talk copy-edit) 23:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Overall

Nah, I can archive it myself. I found out how to do it recently. As for Larry Jennings, that was nice of RyRy to notice my work. --LAAFan 23:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC) P.S.- I think the hopes for WWS looks good. If you go to the page, I posted a tally, and we're currently winning 7-4!Reply

I looked at the barnstars list, and a think the Original Barnstar would work best. Thanks for your kindness!--LAAFan 23:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC) Ok. (on the links on my talk page)--LAAFan 23:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Erm, LAA. It is encouraged to always use edit summaries. All experienced editors use edit summaries, as well as me. WikiZorro, do you mind reminding LAA of this sometimes? It is really important to do so. I currently have a 100% edit summary useage my past 8000 edits. --RyRy5 (talk copy-edit) 00:04, 23 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Userpages

edit

I have added a space to the box on your user and user talk pages, I hope you don't mind. Those bits at the top of your page I guess will look diffrent for diffrent people. At the moment the one which says Wikipedia does not realy look right, but I like the idea of the drop down box. I have also put the vandalism inforation in the middle of that coloum, I think it looks better there. I'm impressed that you have fully customised it and changed it since I put it in :) 17:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there; you have marked this editor as a possible sockpuppet. I am not saying that you are wrong, but I am not clear as to your reason for making the suggestion. Could you please explain your reasoning? --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 11:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I had no intention of criticising, and the user may well be a vandal; I just could not quite follow the reasoning. He appears not to have objected to the nomination, incidentally. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 16:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

What are userscripts? What was with the barnstar?--LAAFan 16:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC) Never mind, that was a different thing.--LAAFan 16:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, but don't you think that the new cubs barnstar would be more appropriate? --RyRy5 (talk) 16:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Cubs Barnstar

edit

I asked what Killervogel's barnstar's problem is, and he told me he is new to making barnstars. Can you help? Keep the Cubstar, as RyRy5 voted for it, but change the code for it. This a problem, as the barnstar is on the project page. As I have on my user page, I will be less active for a couple of days to look at templates and Wikipedia policies, but I will still be checking in and reading messages. Please let me know if you can help.--LAAFan 02:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

It seems to be working fine for me. Just add "subst:" at the beginning of the barnstar.--RyRy5 (talk) 02:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Templates and Cubs Barnstar

edit

I haven't looked into templates yet, but I'll be sure to get your attention if I can't figure something out. As for the Cubs barnstar, I find it better than the original. However, I would contact RyRy, too. --LAAFan 23:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Minor CTU agents in 24

There's a current change to an article that I feel should have the discussion of the whole Wkiproject. It's the article above, the old version is this and the new version is the current version.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:User-Example.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:User-Example.jpg. 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of File:Recon Cs-6.JPG

edit

The file File:Recon Cs-6.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free per commons:COM:Toys

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
