Hello Mus Musculus! :)
Tks for your welcome. I did already made contributions on the portuguese italian and french wikis before, but tk you all the same for ur warm welc. U 2 are recent here I suppose? Greetings from Lisbon. Portuguez 16:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd be more than happy to help improve the DT articles if I am able to (I haven't read the series in a while, so some information is a bit hazy). One thing I would like to do is make articles for the main ka-tet...I mean, Patrick Danville has his own article but Jake and Eddie don't?--CyberGhostface 23:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

OK I agree to the finer technical details. But my point was: since Wikipedia serves almost as a free source of information for the uninitiated like me, any information that is there, is likely to be uncritically accepted.
Your spoiler template fixes for the Conan stories
As your spoiler template fixes to the Conan stories ruin the page formatting for each article, please undo them. Additionally, you sometimes moved the spoiler template to the wrong section of the article. Again, as this does not improve the articles, please undo the changes. --Flask 02:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Eddie Dean and future Ka-Tet of the Nineteen and Ninety character pages
Thank you so much for your comment! Stuff like that really encourages you to keep editing Wikipedia and I am currently writing articles for Susannah, Jake and Oy and they'll finally be right where they should be. --Gunmetal2k4 05:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Reasons for my reversal reactions
I'v just realized, that I'm not a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. I've contacted Members of that WikiProject page
FAC
My replies were calm in their origins, the sarcasm wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I was expecting constructive criticism, and I knew if it didn't go well it would work as a peer review.... it just went too slow for me, and no one seemed to be interested in the article, thus promoting the article would be impossible and I delisted so Raul wouldn't have to.

Hello, Mus Musculus. As you may know, a consensus was reached by editors to remove the 'restrictive guideline' for the HHOF sections. As you're a WikiProject members, would you remove that guideline? GoodDay 23:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Randall Flagg
Erm--I've tried twice to nominate it for FA, and both times its been rejected. You can view both nominations here and here to see what went wrong and if you have any suggestions for the problems listed. I'd love to see it become Featured Article, but I'm afraid its not quite up to that level yet...--CyberGhostface 21:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks. Let me know if I can do anything to help.--CyberGhostface 02:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement
Thanks for the note of encouragement. I really appreciate it. I'm usually not such a nasty person but I felt like I was under attack. I'll still keep contributing to articles and will author any articles that I come across that should be here. However, I'll be a lot more cautious. Thanks again! kaclock March 13, 2007, 19:28 (EST)

Shark Island
I closed as keep, as the discussion offered sufficient independent sources to be considered reliable and establish notability. Maybe the article could be considered as a merge into Bodyboarding but that wasnt part of the afd discussion. Gnangarra 23:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Fred Waghorne
I'm afraid I had never even heard of Fred Waghorne. I just added the lacrosse project link because the article relates to lacrosse. I don't know a lot of historical stuff about lacrosse - my specialty is the NLL, and obviously he never played there. If I do find more information on him, I'll either update the article myself or let you know. --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 23:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

HHOF Members / Other Hockey Articles
Hello Mus Musculus,
I'm not sure how new you are to wikipedia or the Ice hockey Project. I't great that you've taken an active interest in Wiki Project Ice Hockey, However I checked out your article on Al Leader and I noticed that you removed his name from the Requested Articles section but did not add his name to the New Articles section. In future when you create an Ice hockey related article be sure to add the linked name to the new articles section under the date of creation.
I'm also curious as to what your hockey specialty is so if I have questions about articles I'm creating and need advice I might be able to bounce it off of you. Just so you know I no absolutly nothing about Barnsley, Manitoba I leave those sorts of things to people who do. And where or how did you come up with the name of Mus Musculus ?.
thanks, Michael Drew 19:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)]]
- Just so you know most people don't use the New Articles page in the wikiproject. In fact there is discussion to remove that since there is an automatically generated page in the project that already pretty much does that same thing. --Djsasso 20:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello There,
I'm Just wondering If you could help me find any information on an old NHL player for the Montreal Maroons. James (sometimes called Jim) Kelly played for the Montreal Maroons back in the 1920s. I can't seem to find any Information anywhere. If you could help it would be great.

Thanks, Mus! I started to get worried that there would be no feedback; it's nice to finally have some comments. I'll address some of the points you raised a bit later; please watchlist the peer review page if you want to follow the developments.

Fighting in Ice Hockey
I'm impressed, the article is really good. The references and the prose are definitely there. If I had to make a few suggestions, I would say that the lead may be a little too long, and that all of the references need to consistently come after punctuation (like a period, or semicolon) but I only saw that not done in a few places. Generally most articles go through the GA process first but if you're feeling bold then I'd say give it a shot at WP:FAC. It's not like you have anything to lose.

Re: Fighting in ice hockey
Right, fair enough, I was wondering why those four were selected, but I agree in one sense, however your source is a book, which since people cannot really read the book and cannot see the source material they still won't be discouraged from inserting their favourite hockey fighters as you say. I'm not too worried about that because its not really of question inserting my favourite fighters, those historical ones are probably the five most important fighters to the evolution of fighting in the game. And with favourite fighters, I would say the kinds of people that would insert their favourite fighters would screw around with the modern fighters section, no matter how its sourced in a book. I'm pretty confident that sentence will not really make too much of a difference anyways, however if another source can be found that can better attribute the growth of fighting to the right people (unlike someone like Wayne Cashman or Clark Gillies, who never had more than 100 PIM in a season in his career) then that's awesome.

Wow that was quick, have you been stalking my user page? lol... I already kinda miss the mop actually, my reasons for leaving were actually because I honestly thought I was done for good in February so I resigned my adminship, but two months later circumstances changed and I was back on. Having said that, by no fault of my own, I don't even think if I try to get the mop back I'll even be accepted, its crazy how high the standards have gotten these days.

- Hey, why not eh? By the way I wasn't implying that you should or you shouldn't nominate me, but if your up to it sure I'll go for it... I'm currently working afternoons so I wouldn't be able to answer the answers until tomorrow morning at the earliest, or maybe when i get home around 2 AM EST, lol. We'll see. But be sure to let me know if you do do it. And you say I'll pass with flying colours eh? Well if I don't, you owe me a coke, haha. Croat Canuck Go Leafs Go 18:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
