All I did was clean the page of tests. As 70.64.78.207 would say, it isn't a crime.209.20.219.145 (talk) 00:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Do you want to create the results table? It's painful work. You are killing me by editing the section. It's called an edit conflict and it's a huge waste of my time. I PUT THE DO NOT EDIT THIS SECTION MARKER UP which means do not touch. You can have it when I'm done. Trust me to get it right, or at least close enough. I have better things to do with my time than edit conflicts. Either let me know if you want to do this instead of me, or don't touch it until I remove the {{
]- I'm tired of you causing me edit conflicts. You can write the entire table. Royalbroil 04:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry I caused edit conflicts. I did not see the message. I will still make most of the table. I am just not knowledgeable about the average speeds.209.20.219.145 (talk) 04:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

...After Creating An Account
Admin
Thank you very much for considering me for administratorship. However, other editors have already offered to nominate me, and when I finally do get my act together, I will use them as my nominators. But I would be very thankful if you would support my request for administratorship, whenever it happens. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
2007 IRL pages
No edit wars shall be started. With the polesitter and race-winner already being stated on the original
I don't mind. I'll probably do them all, when I've got some spare time (which is more often than not now). Get the bot to do the introductions and all that, but I'll do some of the other stuff. Regards. Cs-wolves (talk) 16:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- A bot is not efficient for creating the minor race articles that you have suggested. A bot like an Auto Wiki Browseris designed to repetitively add or subtract information on existing articles. For example, it would work to add all articles from a specific category to a WikiProject. A custom written computer program might do a much better job, although I think manually creating them would be the best. Otherwise you could save the database in Word and do a mail merge.
- Generally creating a lot of very short articles like you proposed is considered a bad thing, except if you plan to expand them right afterwards. You should provide references in the article. The articles should have more than a sentence or two about the race, otherwise it will probably be deleted or merged back into the year article. Some particularly good race articles that I worked on were the 1992 Hooters 500, 1959 Daytona 500, and 1979 Daytona 500. Note how each of them discuss what happened during the race.
- I feel the need to discuss the lead paragraphs (see WP:LEAD). Each article needs to stand on it's own, so duplicating content in a year article is expected. The lead paragraphs should tell you why the race is notable, plus the major facts about the topic for someone who wants to read just the introduction. So it should contain the pole winner, winner and maybe any major events. I didn't do a good job with the leads on those 3 articles that I mentioned. Royalbroil 02:36, 25 June 2008 (UTC)]
Barnstar
Thanks for the barnstar. It's always great to know that you are appreciated! Were you the editor that contributed anonymously on the article that gave me a lot of edit conflict? I think I got a bit too whiny to whoever that was. Royalbroil 03:36, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
In regards to WP:MTG...
I highly respect the thought here, but you are aware the project is basically defunct, right? Feel free to ignore me if you're trying to revive it. Cheers. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 18:26, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Modest
Sure, if you feel like making a template for the modest barnstar, that would be swell. User:Pedant (talk) 15:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
About your Barnstar
Hi! I noticed that you created the Creator of Barnstars Barnstar. I was bored one day, fiddled around on Photoshop, and came up with a new image that could be used for your Barnstar (see left). I brought my new image to the attention of Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards on their talk page here, and it was suggested that I contact you about this. Would it be okay if I replaced your image for my new one? If you're not okay with this, I'm totally fine about it. :-) - k|e|n|g - t | c - 04:29, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Meisfunny. For background and explanation, you may want to look at User talk:Keilana/Archive7#User:Basketball110/Mr. Potato Head Cabal and some of the following threads, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Great Cabal Debate, and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Cabals. I hope this all makes sense; please let me know if you have any questions or need help with something. Regards, Keilana|Parlez ici 17:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you...
...for participating in my RfA, which closed with 119 in support, 4 neutral and 5 opposes. I'm honestly overwhelmed at the level of support that I've received from the community, and will do my best to maintain the trust placed in me. I 'm also thankful to those who opposed or expressed a neutral position, for providing clear rationales and superb feedback for me to build on. I've set up a space for you to provide any further feedback or thoughts, should you feel inclined to.

Hey Meis,
Was this your edit? If so, could you log back on and sign it? Otherwise, it has to be indented.---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 13:38, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yup. Sorry about that, I had to leave suddenly and never got time to fix the edit. I'll do that. Meisfunny Gab 16:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
How To...?
Question1: There are a couple of spelling and grammatical errors in the "Dietitian" page. I also noticed it has hardly any references to support any of the information (some of which I can prove to be false). The "Nutritionist" page is similarly full of similar errors. Where do I begin?
The talk page for Dietitian is rather lengthy, and I don't know if I should start a new section or argue one way or the other on each point?
Or only the ones I deem worth arguing for or against?
I am still unclear on how to insert references, such as, "Dietitians must complete 4 years of schooling[1]"
1. American Dietetic Association: Handbook of Registration Requirements, pp101-112 etc.
Question2: Where do you feel Wikipedia needs the most help? (i.e. verification of facts, eliminating vandalism, correcting spelling and miscellaneous errors, etc.?
