WikiProject California invite

Hi, I noticed you've been working on a lot of California related articles. I've recently been trying to revive WikiProject California, so if you would like to join, or just add the project to your watchlist I would appreciate it. At the very least you would get a heads up when we do things like running a bot for auto-assessing the articles right after you tag them with the project template (not sure if you noticed that). On another minor note it is generally advised that you don't put {{talkheader}} on every talk page you come across, since it dilutes the meaning when it is placed on articles, see the templates documentation for more info. I know because I used to do the same until someone told me otherwise. -Optigan13 (talk) 06:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

re : Thanks, I think even in the best wikiprojects most people do just work on whatever they're interested in and check in when they see something that matters to them. There's a lot of geographic articles to deal with in California so as long as you're contributing to articles anything else is just to help with that. With the talkheader, yeah I that they would have come out with some reduced template or a tweak to the mediawiki software to post some of that same info, but so far nothing. Thanks, -Optigan13 (talk) 06:30, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of The DAMN! Show article

Mistagging of Montalvin, California

Thank you for alerting me of my error and correcting it. I must not have noticed that source when I tagged it as unreferenced, so thank you for fixing my mistake. Regards, Laurinavicius (talk) 22:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I didn't delete any content I moved it and oranginzed it, it's not vandism. B64 (talk) 04:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/BQZip01 4

If you would be so kind as to review my response in Support #37, I think you will find your primary concerns have been addressed in this RfA. — BQZip01 —  04:39, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Martha Finnemore

The article on Martha Finnemore has changed substantially since you nominated it for deletion. You may want to take a second look. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Question on my RfA

Thanks for your questions at my RfA. I'm having a bit of trouble with 9d, though: did you mean "are" instead of "all"? -kotra (talk) 23:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Math Fair

Why did you propose and subsequently delete the "Math Fair" entry? How can I recover the original article, or is it now gone permanently? Math Fairs have now been held in over 15 countries, there are essentially free information booklets available in four languages, it seems peculiar that there would not be a Misplaced Pages entry.

I want to use "user talk" but it is not easy for a stranger. I have no idea whether this will go to the intended place for you to read. JGTechjunkie JGTTechjunkie (talk) 08:26, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

RFA thank you

My RFA passed today at 75/2/1 so I wanted to thank you for your participation in it. Special thanks go to GlassCobra and FlyingToaster for their nomination and support. Cheers! --Rosiestep (talk) 02:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Heritage-Nationality categories

Circa 2005-06, several (many) of us spent about 6 months carefully garnering consensus on a fairly limited set of allowable categories. I write standards and practices reasonably well, and was somewhat proud of our resulting text. I thought it was as objective as possible.

Over the years, folks have been ignoring the reasonable restrictions. I'm beginning to agree with you that they should all be removed, as letting the camel's nose into the tent.

You asked me to join you. Do you have a plan?

Helios (fire performer)

Why was my page "Helios (fire performer)" deleted???? It was under construction and I don't appreciate you thoroughly deleting my page without discussing it first. From the looks of all of these complaints, it seems as if you take time to delete our page, but do not take the initiative to discuss it with us first.

Thanks

Thanks for catching and fixing my typo on the List of people with synesthesia archive. Edhubbard (talk) 16:14, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Possible deletion of template

A template you created, Template:AzerbaijanBook, has been marked for deletion as a deprecated and orphaned template. If, after 14 days, there has been no objection, the template will be deleted. If you wish to object to its deletion, please list your objection here and feel free to remove the {{deprecated}} tag from the template. If you feel the deletion is appropriate, no further action is necessary. Thanks for your attention. R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:26, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback

Unfortunately, my RFA was closed today with a final tally of 75½/38/10. Though it didn't succeed, I wanted to thank you for your participation in it. I intend to review the support, oppose, and neutral !votes and see what I can do to address those concerns. Special thanks go to Schmidt, , TomStar81, and henrik for their co-nominations and support. — BQZip01 —  20:15, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD

Hi. You weighed in on the AfD for St Nicholas' Priory. I've added some preliminary detail on the monestary, its background and its current use. I'm hoping you'll reconsider your !vote. — Bdb484 (talk) 19:54, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Good catch!

I'd always taken it for granted that Imperial County was pretty much covered...until I saw the Bonds Corner entry. Darn good catch. The US NAFTA port of entry is in the area. Great work, man.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 23:43, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Restore request

Please restore Don't bother me, as it was actually a user talk page before it was moved to the mainspace, so please restore it, and move it back to the user talk page that it was move from, which is the talk page of the user who moved it in the first place.— Dædαlus 18:20, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

User talk pages are still rarely deleted, and even further, if this user requests an unblock, that evidence of past behavior needs to be accessible. The user essentially got away with getting his talk deleted without even requesting it.— Dædαlus 18:26, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Just that, that the user cannot edit their own talk page. Thank you for the restore, and thank you for your time.— Dædαlus 18:46, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, you didn't restore it, my bad. What I mean is, thank you for leaving the note.— Dædαlus 18:48, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
