AWA Super Challenge
Ive been trying to find out info on an angle used by the AWA during its last gasp. It was someting like the 'super team challenge' or something. The whole promotion was divided into 3 teams and competed for a million bucks. I think Zbysko had a team and Sgt Slaughter had one too. Do you remember this? Youngamerican 5 July 2005 13:38 (UTC)
- Yes, I remember that. I did a google search and found it under "AWA Team Challenge Series". It lasted from October 1, 1989 until August 11, 1990. It was Zbysko, Slaughter, Baron Von Raschke and Col. DeBeers who headed the teams. Zbysko's "Larry's Legends" team won with 56 points. "Baron's Blitzers" was second with 51 and "Slaughter's Snipers" & "DeBeers' Diamondcutters" tied at third with 48 points. Here is a link to much of the AWA's special events & where I found this info:

Hope this helps!
By looking at your user page, I get the impression that you live in West Virginia. I live in Cross Lanes just outside of Charleston. Cool to meet a fellow West Virginian on Misplaced Pages if that is where you live.

How to get to Yeager Scholars...
You actually showed up on my watchlist after an Antioch College edit, and I clicked on your username because you had an edit summary (I love edit summaries), and then I wanted to know what a Yeager Scholar was... yep, that was my route.
Also, very nice work on the hot dog variations. I like them Chicago-style myself. Philthecow 20:35, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Removal from the Order of Canada
I am not sure if anyone told you, but the nominator of the article for merging retracted his vote, changing it to keep. For some odd reason, the VFD is still up. I wish to ask you if you want to relook at the article and see if you wish to change your vote based on the expansion of the article. Thank you. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 08:26, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Robert Byrd Page
Thanks for the compromise on the Robert Byrd page re: his recent remarks comparing the "jungles of Africa" to American inner cities. I think your context is appropriate and much better than some of the knee-jerk whitewashing/erasing of Byrd's past that other editors have tried to impose on the entry. Good show.

Janelle Pierzina
I'm not sure if you know or not, but just in case, I thought I would mention the vote-for-deletion has restarted from scratch at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Janelle Pierzina 2. Last time your vote was discounted by the admin because you didn't state a reason for the vote. This new vote is an opportunity to have your vote count, if you wish. I hope you choose to participate. Thanks. --rob 14:36, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
Template:WV Highways
Template:WV Highways was started by some of in the state, and we have been working on it. A user from California has been pushing for it to be deleted. He wants it similar to California, WV is not CA. Can we get some support to keep from a fellow WVer?

Body Parts slang
This seems to have been a definite Keep. Parts of it in the beginning are common knowledge, altough you are right...the rest does drify of into NOR and random info. This really needs to be removed as well, but it passe AfD....oh well. Still the rest of the article is not as bad as the Body Part Slang article.Voice of All 14:22, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Weetabix
Are you sure that the Weetabix sold in the US is organic? The UK version is not by default organic (otherwise, they'd have (a) publicised the fact and (b) wouldn't sell a separate "organic" variant). Fourohfour 19:34, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
CFD
You have said on CFD for Cat:Indian cheeses that you are voting keep in the hope that it will be expanded. Well. I'm an Indian and I can assure you that there are no other Indian cheeses, so maybe you would like to reconsider your vote.--May the Force be with you!

Re: Keg party
Thanks for your note about keg party. I’m still skeptical, but I don’t feel strongly about it. I’ll wait and see what you come up with. I tend to rather dislike Misplaced Pages entries that are merely dictionary definitions or entries that only restate the title. You may observe that in the article in question, one could replace the word keg with, perhaps, margarita, martini, wine, or any number of other beverages and the definition would still be perfectly correct. ♠DanMS 04:50, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Looks like another admin already speedied it. :) -Greg Asche (talk) 03:47, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- No problem, if I'm active I've got no problem taking care of it, that's my job. If I don't respond though, don't take it personally, sometimes I'm only on for 15 minutes or something (think that's what happened last time you contacted me), and someone else will have already taken care of it. -Greg Asche (talk) 03:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/India Today's top 10 colleges of India
Hi! This is not systematic bias. I am an Indian. I've nominated US lists for deletion as well. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Newsweek’s List of Top High Schools (2003), Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Newsweek's List of the 1,000 Top U.S. Schools and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Newsweek's List of the 1,000 Top U.S. Schools (2005). Could you please do a rethink on your vote. utcursch | talk 05:48, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Howdy
No problem...I think MARMOT actually has voted neutral, but said support more as a form of good luck than anything else. I'm not put off by any gender confusion so that is certainly no big deal. See you around.--MONGO 17:37, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks
Thank you for your comments and support about deleting the redundant article in Virginia. Check out my talk box (at the top) on my user page, and I can make one for you very easily and quickly if you'd like one (cost is right: gratis!). I think a talk box helps organize a talk page a bunch. Hope all is well in the Wild and Wonderful State. Mark in Historic Triangle Vaoverland 19:54, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Ianblair23's RfA
G'day Youngamerican,
I would like to thank you for supporting me on my RfA. It closed with the final tally of 57/0/0. I can only hope I can live up to the expectations that this wonderful community of ours demands from each of its administrators. With regard to your comments, I couldn't agree with you more. We need more admins from my part of the world to fight the vandals when your part is getting some much needed rest. If you ever need anything, please just let me know. Cheers! -- Ianblair23 (talk) 05:10, 17 November 2005 (UTC)MONGO RfA
I really appreciate your support on my RfA. I'll do all I can to ensure you know you made the right choice. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!--MONGO 04:39, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Welcome Message?
How do I make my own welcome message for new users? I was trying to help a noob out today and, after a couple of failed attempts, used yours (with an express note that I was blatantly ripping yours off). I figured, however, that the interests of improving the experience for a new user trumped all else. Cheers. Youngamerican 21:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Absolutely. Feel free to simply copy what I (or someone else) has, and make your own template. For example, mine is : User:Sam Spade/Welcome. Just make your own page like that (you can copy my links if you want, or change them, or whatever) and put tjose weird {{}} brackets on the outside instead of ]'s.

Cnwb's RfA
Youngamerican,
Thanks so very much for supporting my Request for Admin. The final result was 38/0/0. I'm looking forward to spending my summer holidays shut away in a darkened room, drinking G&Ts and playing with my new tools ;-) Please accept this Tim Tam as a token of my gratitude. Cnwb 22:44, 4 December 2005 (UTC)BDAbramson's RfA
Thank you, Youngamerican, for your kind words in support of my RfA - I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality of Misplaced Pages rise to the level of the dream. BDAbramson T 17:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your support on my RfA
I just wanted to thank you for the kind words you had to say about me. Despite our brief encounter way back when regarding the {{female adult bio}} template, I was honestly surprised that you'd even remembered me. I really appreciate this and your support on my successful bid for adminship. Should you have a need for a helping hand in the future, my door is always open. Have a safe, joyous and happy holiday season! -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. 03:55, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Census results for unincorporated rural towns
As a fellow "all things West Virginia" editor, I'd like to thank you for all of the work that you have contributed concerning the Mountain State ;)
I noticed that you created an article for Tallmansville in Upshur County, and I was curious as to where you found the population for the town. I am always unable to find such figures on the census.gov site. Caponer
GIS analyst
haha I was actually inspired by some other User pages where I noticed certain contributors had toiled away many hours repeatedly editing their own pages. I think yours is quite appropriate in its size and content ;)
I noticed you were a GIS analyst, so of course I had to comment since I was recently hired by the NGA and will be a GIS analyst for them in DC starting at the end of the month! Wish me luck, I hope the work is as rewarding as I felt it would be when I accepted the position. :) --Caponer 18:35, 3 January 2006 (UTC) P.S. thanks again for the census info!
Betty Montgomery article
Do you think you're too important to clean up an article you tagged? No Parking added more links to the article. Despite what you wrote, the article didn't need more paragraphs, although No Parking added those anyway to make you happy. Nonetheless, the tag is still there. I suppose you're willing to let it remain looking cluttered with your gratuitous tag.
