I have two requests for people coming here:

• If you intend to revert personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
• If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.

Thanks.

175 done tonight (about), leaving 2200 in my list...

Should only be a few nights work, probably done by the time your back from your holiday.

More bugs fixed, and its faster!

—Reedy 23:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

1620 left (nearly 600 done today!) —Reedy 21:03, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Done some more bug fixing/"hacking". Means less manual movement needed =). Worth the effort IMHO. Down to 1300 —Reedy 23:10, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Less than 1000!! —Reedy 13:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Around 680 now. —Reedy 16:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

All done, and old templates deleted! —Reedy 10:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Not the only one! —Reedy 14:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Someone (Sunderland06 iirc) was going to help me on IRC, but didnt have chance to do more than 7 or 8... So i've done the best part of 2200... Heh —Reedy 14:43, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Haha, yeah. Somehow i do! —Reedy 15:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Newspapers

Thank you for replying on YK Time's behalf. Your message was of great help!

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 23:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC))

Thanks also for the tip about possibly putting my book in the Gallery of the Midnight Sun. -YK Times 23:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

CambridgeBayWeater, do you happen to know the price for a newspaper (both NT and NU versions)? You seem VERY knowledgble about the North, so I've decided to ask you (to give YK Times a break).

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 00:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC))

Thank you very much for your prompt answer again, CambridgeBayWeather! :-D

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 20:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC))

Bumped luggage as in lost or delayed? They have such problem in Yellowknife? I went to Mexico this past March, and the same thing happened. I had school the following day, but the bags came six days later. My teachers just excused my homework until the luggage (with my vacation homework and textbooks) came in.

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 15:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC))

That sucks with the delayed baggage, but at least you managed to get on the flight (and you actually got your luggage later). Canadian North is a great airline with friendly people (I talked to three of the senior management people for my Yellowknife Trip). It ends up that I'm not flying with Canadian North (due to some issues), but I wished I had. It seems very friendly and superb. By the way, I happened to read your user page (which was a very good scavenger hunt). How and why did you decide to move to Cambridge Bay, NU? Won't you rather live someplace more populated and dense?

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 17:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC))

I live in Orange, CA, which is a city of about 130,000 people an hour away from Los Angeles. My aunt lives in Yellowknife, but I can't imagine me having to live in the Canadian Arctic. Isn't everything like expensive (especially gasoline) and deserted?

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 16:02, 15 July 2008 (UTC))

Yeah. Everything is more expensive with the transportation costs. One good thing I heard was that the Northwest Territories paid 3% less on groceries than the rest of Canada. It's very scenic up in the North (I'll see for myself in December), but it requires adapting in order to live up there (something you have already done quite well). By the way, is there a bandwidth limit on internet up in Cambridge Bay (in Yellowknife, the average plan allows 10 GB a month). Here in Orange, CA, we have unlimited bandwidth (not trying to run it in your face or anything).

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 20:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC))

That's great to know. I'm just shocked how the major companies take advantage of you guys big time because you're such in an isolated, deserted place.

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 04:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC))

That is so ridiculous! "Outside" of Canada? They should get real. At least things changed since NU became a territory. By the way, when you sign messages, what does "Have a gorilla" supposed to mean?

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 17:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC))

Do you happen to know the cell phone provider(s) in Yellowknife? Verizon Wireless, my cell phone company in California, doesn't have any service throughout the Canadian North. I was wondering if they sell prepaid SIM cards for an unlocked cell phone (like they do in Vietnam). And yeah, I have never heard of BBC's The Goon Show ever before in my life.

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 21:34, 17 July 2008 (UTC))

Thank you. I'll look up the companies and see what they have to offer. By the way, this has always been in my head. How do the featured article (of the day) get chosen?

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 03:11, 18 July 2008 (UTC))

Oh. I never knew such thing exists. Anyways, I'll leave you alone now and thanks for everything you have done for me. Take care!

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 15:32, 18 July 2008 (UTC))

I talked to Jenn at ICE Wireless, a recommended company from you, and they can help me since it's a non-contract based company. I unlocked my cell phone from T-Mobile this morning using codes and information online. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I did a TON of research and I never came upon ICE Wireless. You are such a great help!

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 21:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC))

Oh. I never knew Jenn was your daughter. I have to say that she is very kind, friendly, patient, and polite (hopefully she got those tratis from you). It will be my pleasure to meet her when I set up service for myself in Yellowknife. ;-)

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 14:47, 19 July 2008 (UTC))

If she got the traits all by her self, that is something you, as a father, should be very proud of.

(Rallybrendan2006 (talk) 02:46, 20 July 2008 (UTC))

No problem. ;-)

Removing content

Hey there... in going back and looking at the history logs of several pages I updated, it appears you removed most of the links I added. Just wondering why? To my mind, the Q&As I added have value and fall into the neutral category, but maybe I simply don't understand the criteria for what should remain on the pages and what shouldn't. Why are newspaper articles seemingly ok but original content from my website not? Anyway, I'd definitely appreciate any insight you can provide. Thanks.

Sorry, just read the top of your page -- some of the articles you removed my content from include Kat Von D, Maritime (band), Mike Park, LA Ink (tv series).

Tookoolito

Hi CambridgeBay Weather -- I'm starting entries for Tookoolito and Ebierbing, and would be grateful if you'd stop by and have a look -- any corrections/changes/suggestions would be welcomed. In particular, Tookoolito was tagged with a Notability tag and if you agree it has met the criteria, I'd be grateful if you'd consider being the one to delete this tag. Cheers, Clevelander96 (talk) 15:50, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Our Barney friend again?

I noticed you restored the edits to the version before User:JohnLeoWalsh got to it. Based on that and his userpage, any thoughts on whether he might be User:Danieljuravsky, or possibly the guy who used to spam his soap-opera all over the refdesks??? Something about this user doesn't strike me right--the weird userpage, the Barney edits, the refusal to answer questions....it adds up to SOMETHING. Gladys J Cortez 20:34, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Survey request

Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Misplaced Pages. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.

Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader, geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!

The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

Thank You, BCeagle0312 (talk) 17:04, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. =) That was an odd one. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Igloo images

I'm sorry for the delay but I had an emergency and I had to go. Please see Talk:Igloo#Images. -- iDosh!  talk? 15:49, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Old town and Dettah.JPG

No worries—yes, the picture is taken looking out across Old Town and Back Bay towards Giant Mine and the Yellowknife Yacht Club (or whatever they go by). Cheers -YK Times 16:10, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Reverts of user 66.65.108.174's edits

Pardon the interruption, and for going around the system on this one, but this is a slightly odd vandalism case that you have at least a little background with. 66.65.108.174 has made 75 or so edits mostly to kids' TV related articles, all of which seem to be subtle vandalism. You've reverted a number of his edits, including his last two. His modus operandi makes it difficult to get anyone over at WP:AIV to do anything (I've reported him at least three times, and the report has been allowed to go stale, or rejected with comments like "seems to have stopped") - he makes only a couple of edits at a time and then goes inactive for a day or so. The edits go back almost a month, so it's clear that he's got a static IP. If you've got a minute, please look into this a bit, and take whatever action you see fit. Thanks! Majorclanger (talk) 00:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Since I've got a real-live admin on the line, I'm got another long-term subtle vandal that seems to have the folks over at AIV flummoxed, which I can't figure out - this IP has been blocked four times, including a three month vacation that just expired. The guy is considerably more prolific that 174 above - the block expired about an hour ago and the IP has been used for eight edits - five of which are almost certainly misinformation, three of which aren't at clear cut. It's all pretty subtle (date changes and the like) and nobody monitoring AIV seems to want to do anything about it. So if you could take a look at the culprit - 24.47.245.45, I'd appreciated it. And I promise to leave you alone - the missus wants to watch a movie, so I'm being pulled away from my Wiki addiction for a while! Majorclanger (talk) 01:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Dene communities

Any community that coulda been/woulda been/was being filed directly in Category:Dene if the communities subcategory didn't exist. I didn't actually rationalize it much more carefully than that, to be honest... Bearcat (talk) 07:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Sheekhaal page

I have added and info box to this site which i copied form another site, becouse i did not know how to make one the details are deferent it is the only the box, please do not delete but if you can improve it do it by all means i have been looking for ages how to make an info box. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.67.90.254 (talk) 14:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

thermodynamics edits

follow this link for why i made the edits to the thermodynamics page: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:History_of_thermodynamics#history and http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:History_of_thermodynamics#Changes_to_history_sections Tomasz Prochownik (talk) 05:01, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome

Cheers, JNW (talk) 05:11, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

hahaha, hells yeah.

Glad to make you laugh... (is that the permalink diff, or not? I can never remember that, nad wnat to 'fix' that before I move that to my userpage...) ThuranX (talk) 06:17, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Bogra

It looks to me that the section Notable people from Bogra is getting increasingly spammed. Can you look into the matter. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 08:42, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Lady Aleena's db request

You forgot the talk page. Cheers. Synergy 08:49, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

User talk page deletion

Hi Cambridge, can you please delete this username blocked talk page please. They were blocked for their username back in April and just now used it for promotion. I think it would be best to delete it so this cant happen again. Cheers

Somali Clan

Hello, thanks for cleaning up after me! Please can you tell me where to find out how to move a discussion page? Redheylin (talk) 22:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Maybe I misunderstood. You write "I also moved the page over to preserve the editing history." I cannot find how to do that on the How to Merge instructions. By the way = no thanks, I just put one out. Redheylin (talk) 22:42, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, I fixed one redirect Somali clans but missed "tribes". I was following the "how to" rules, but it has been brought to my attention that histories can get lost. Am I meant to report it to the "fixes" page, or what? Redheylin (talk) 22:59, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help once again. Redheylin (talk) 23:19, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Jose Fadul

Kindly refrain from thinking of deleting the article on Jose Fadul. Fadul may not be notable to some of you, but he is most certainly notable to us, alumni of Manila Science High School and of UP College of Education. His life is an inspiration to all those who have speech defects but have the spirit to excel and gain honor. I see no conflict of interest therein.PFlores3 (talk) 10:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I second the motion. Fadul was one of the few child prodigies recognized by the late Atty. Fernanda Balboa herself, the founder of Children's Museum and Library, Inc. (CMLI) MCLeander (talk) 10:49, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Jose Fadul is someone humble that I do not know well. It is good that a Wiki article on him was written, perhaps by himself or someone using his surname for his or her Wiki username, I don't know. Please do not delete that article.JDGloria (talk) 11:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
