A file that you uploaded or altered,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at [email protected] (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

I admit it, the Ultratop is a little bit bizarre. I will try to explain it to you. So, there is the Ultratop 50, who contains the 50 most popular songs ( 1 to 50), and, then, there is the Ultratip. This one is a kind of continuity to the Ultratop. It lists the 200 most popular songs (actually, from 200 to 101). Thus, if, for example, XXXO was charted seventh in the Ultratip, it means that it is the 107 most popular song in the country this week. That's why I corrected the belgium charts in the M.I.A. discography (it indicates that XXXO was 57 in Belgium (I still don't know why) and that Bad Girls was 81, while it's 181). As for the sources, here they are: for XXXO and for Bad Girls.

Have a good day, --Raphael99 (talk) 22:12, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's something really strange too, the 51-100 are not on any chart. So, if a song is charted between these numbers, we will never know it.--Raphael99 (talk) 17:12, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

I'm currently working List of Queens Park Rangers F.C. seasons through the FL process and it was mentioned that you might still have access to the FA Amateur Cup results book you used on the FL list of winners. I know where QPR was knocked out of the competition in 1895-96 through other sources, but I was wondering if you'd be able to check if they were in it in the other years between the start of the competition and 1899-1900 when the team turned professional. If not, don't worry about it - I was planning a trip to the British Library to check on the early year portion of the table anyway and thanks to your FL I know which book to put on reserve ahead of the visit. :) Regards, Miyagawa (talk) 16:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thanks for checking. I know the year I found the results for they did get knocked out in the qualifying rounds, so its likely they were knocked out in similar rounds during this period. Miyagawa (talk) 18:14, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You sure?? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:44, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, noticed in the stats tally that you were the biggest contributer to List of Premier League seasons prior to my editing these last few days. Other then adding the odd reference, finishing off the 'Promotion and Relegation' para and putting top scorers to the lead, I think this is ready for a peer review. Hope you don't mind giving it a check through for prose and table functionality? Cheers – Lemonade51 (talk) 20:21, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Jake Sheridan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lincoln City (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for your help cleaning up the dead links at Stocksbridge Park Steels F.C.. I have now finished my cleanup, but there were three links which I could not fix. These are all marked. Thank you again for your efforts. Cloudz679 19:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Frannie Collin - Golden Boot

I was hesitant as well mate, but the CS Golden Boot is mentioned on Greg Pearson's page. I won't put it back up until confirmation.....

just wondering. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.172.6.204 (talk) 16:59, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE 25 May 2012: Found out today that he did indeed win something referred to as the 'Golden Boot' ... no idea as to what it looks like though mate ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.172.6.204 (talk) 16:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ashleigh and Pudsey

Hi, re the singular/plural issue for groups, my understanding (and I am British by the way) is that there is no hard and fast rule here, but that in general if the name of a band/sports team/dog trick act etc name ends with an "s", then it will use a plural verb; otherwise it will be treated as singular.

I accept that there is a greater tendency towards using the plural in British English, and the singular in American English. However the situation is in my view not as straigtforward as you suggested in your edit summary. I am happy to leave the above article as "are" however. Rangoon11 (talk) 16:38, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Separate but related point - do you think it would be worthwhile to try to do a "did you know?" for this article, in view of this being the first ever dog trick act to win the competition? Did you knows are not something I generally work/propose so I have no experience in that area on but the thought just crossed my mind.Rangoon11 (talk) 16:45, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:TommyBarnes.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to

non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale

You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
