Thanks for your note. The more I looked at it, the more it became clear that someone was just writing down what happened to them when they went to the Stadium one day and got annoyed at certain things. Hard telling how long it was there in the article... and whether it will come back. d:) Baseball Bugs 06:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For the 2007 Rugby World Cup WikiProject Rugby union is launching an Improvement Drive for national rugby union teams; specifically those participating in the Rugby World Cup.

We need your help! Here is what you can do:

• Adopt a national rugby union team article and collaborate with other members to improve it.
• Find, create and upload free images that will help improve these articles.
• Copy-edit, reference, and expand articles when and where you can.
• Promote the project and encourage others to join.

The World Cup is fast approaching and these articles are going to get a lot more hits during the tournament. It would be great if we could have them at a high standard!

For more information see the discussion on the WikiProject Rugby union talk page here.

Hi Andy. This is good stuff but you must quote your sources or the article could be challenged by some Lancastrian or whoever. Best to have an external source section with links and a further reading section for books. By the way, I also support Liverpool and Yorkshire. All the best.

Hi! You don't understand, why I shorten the players initials. Answer is very easy. It's don't get in the players bracket. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Artur9501 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Andy. Thanks for updating the player stats (3 dart average) for round 2.

Just curious where you got them from.

(By the way, I edited the knockout table, just didn't log in. :) )

P.S. Thanks, the cookies are yum! :)

Only the world championships have a re-draw after the qualifiers. The draw is set through to the final. Check this link http://www.globalsnookercentre.co.uk/files/Results/2007-8/07-8-Professional/2007-UK-draw.htm for information.

THanks

On 11 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article World Chess Championship 1886, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page .

You don't have to stop, but there is really no need to update stats after every inning in the articles. Its best to wait for the game to finish, and would let you enjoy the game. -CWY2190(talk • contributions) 02:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Since you are part of talk) 03:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply ]

You do know that you can receive more than one barnstar. It's not like, just because I have a copy of one means I can't recieive the same one. Oh, and I looked through your contributions and you seem to be very dedicated to the project. Keep it up! --

Thanks for the barnstar! :) It would have been better if you added it to my talk page though. It's less confusing that way.--

The Baseball WikiProject Newsletter Issue I – July 2008

"A home opener is always exciting, no matter if it's home or on the road." - Yogi Berra News and announcements Welcome to the first Baseball WikiProject Newsletter, dated Tuesday, July 15, 2008. The Article Improvement Drive has been revived. Check it out! The Outreach department is in the works, please contribute your ideas! Featured content In the past month, WikiProject Baseball has had the following articles promoted to Featured Article status: Art Houtteman 1926 World Series St. Louis Cardinals seasons Philadelphia Phillies seasons List of Major League Baseball players from Puerto Rico This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Blackngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept.

News from the diamond The 79th MLB All-star Game is scheduled for this evening. The 2008 Home Run Derby took place yesterday. Justin Morneau defeated Josh Hamilton in the final round, 5 home runs to 3, although Hamilton broke a record with 28 home runs hit in the first round. From the Editors The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Indeed. :) Cs-wolves (talk) 14:53, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought: we should wait until all results and statistics are in before changing anything. itv's statistics are often wrong, and the PDC's website is always reliable. Regards. Cs-wolves (talk) 23:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a look through all the ones on the PDC, compile it in a spreadsheet then sort out the table. Cs-wolves (talk) 23:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've just created a template called template: Darts player form which allows you to input the players results for the past 4 years. I've only added it to Phil Taylor's article for now. Take a look and see what you think. I won't really have time to edit all the top players and source the info, but I've posted this message on many users pages so it may be used.

In addition, I've not really had the time to update 2008 in darts which has been bereft of updates since around September. The Pro Tour results are also lacking updates. It may not be a page that continues with 2009 in darts if its not significant enough. Again, if you or any other user wants to take control of adding results then I'd really appreciate it.

Hi, welcome to the WikiProject. It was started in July 2010 by Mr.Kennedy1, who unfortunately retired two months ago. As you can see the project is in its early stages and we hope that it will grow. Thanks again for joining. —Half Price 12:48, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Andy. Just noticed how many Go (game)-related BLPs you've saved, as part of your sterling work on the Wikipedia:Unreferenced BLP Rescue project. Kudos to you, and please accept the appreciation from all of us at Wikipedia:WikiProject Go. Regards, Trafford09 (talk) 12:44, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No Problem! Coincidentally I've just started learning to play Go so I'm hoping to be on these Wikipedia pages someday myself (although I highly doubt it...) Andy4226uk (talk) 12:47, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great. So you'll have started to see how enjoyable and addictive Go can be! Wonder if you were aware of all these:

Enjoy WP and Go :) Trafford09 (talk) 14:37, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've done this several times, now, so it's probably time to make more of a fuss about it, since you've not spotted the error yourself and fixed it. Go and look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/United States of America#Eleanor Thatcher and Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/United States of America#LifeGuard30 to see what your mode of deletion sorting tagging is doing. Uncle G (talk) 17:47, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for letting me know! I'll watch out for it in the future. Andy4226uk (talk) 19:03, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Andy4226uk. Thanks for the sources you have recently added to a large number of articles. A couple of minor points to consider:

• The standard capitalisation for an external links section is "External links" (i.e. with a lower case "l" in "links") - see
  MOS:APPENDIX
  .
• If you are identifying these external links as sources for some of the information in the article (which it seems you are, as you are removing the {{
  unsourced
  }} template.

Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 09:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice! Andy4226uk (talk) 11:26, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
