After responding to your question at WP:NCHD, I visited your userpage and saw your message on userbox alignment problems, so I took the liberty of organizing them. This is just one way of doing so (see Wikipedia:Userboxes#Grouping userboxes). Please feel free to revert of course. Cheers.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 21:19, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Hiya, thank you for your review of my spoken contribution to Green Wing (series 1). I haven't a clue what is involved in reviews and the like, but thank you for taking the time to do so, and thanks for the tip! :) Great to see you're getting involved in stuff despite your 'newbieness' ;) Cheers once again. londonsista | Prod 19:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello! I see you are interested in reviewing some articles. I would appreciate if you review a few of mine. The quality does vary among them. The ones that I started with are the worst ones because I did not know how to use the software. In any case, if you are interested, picking a few of mine at random is probably the best way to go. I think there is only one long article. You can see what I've recorded on my user page. Thanks! PopularOutcast talk2me! 20:55, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
If you can cope with another article, I'd be glad of a review for my first spoken article, Isaac Newton. I've also commented on the spoken Wikipedia project talk page to that effect. A.C. Norman ( talk) 09:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Maedin,
I've responded to your comment on the Talk page for the Andrew Aguecheek article. In summary: Be Bold! -- Xover ( talk) 06:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Was this a mistake?. -- SkyWalker ( talk) 19:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Mr Maedin they are the winners so to if i put the biography of the Miss Nepal and the runner ups so pupils can know more about them so please stop deleting my pages. Thank You NepaliBoy7( NepaliBoy7 ( talk) 20:51, 28 July 2008 (UTC)).
Hi Maedin! I have finally got round to posting a reply to your 20 July 2008 questions at the Spoken Wikipedia talk page. Please see my comments there; I would like to listen to the article in question and give some guidance. Hassocks 5489 (tickets please!) 12:54, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks so much for the detailed review. It seems that editing audio problems have plagued me during recording. I think they are better now, but then again, it's not like I noticed them initially. I do appreciate the detail of your review but don't kill yourself making them so detailed, unless you really like to do it. I think what is important is a general idea of good points and things that need improvement. Me, if someone had a lot of mistakes, I would only point out a few and ask them to redo the whole section or whatever. But, that's all my opinion. As a reader, I appreciate the detail. As a reviewer, I'm not sure I'd be willing to put the same amount of work in (and thus I don't do it, LOL).
I do realize that reading every section, even if I am not reading the contents (like Notes, References, etc.) is a bit annoying. Honestly, it's annoying to read. However, I tend to look at this from the perspective of a blind person or someone who is not looking at the article when listening. I think it is important to let the person know what types of additional information is available (and, as such, if they need to use a regular HTML page reader for any section). External links are read because of something I remember reading initially in the instructions for the readers. I wouldn't mind reading something more general, if someone were to write something up. I definitely don't like the article to end right after the subject material is over.
Thanks again! PopularOutcast talk2me! 11:47, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. I saw your adoption request in the category and I would offer to adopt you; if you are still seeking and want me to adopt you, please leave me a message at my talk page. If you are not seeking adoption anymore, you should remove the userbox. Regards So Why 19:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, just a short tip: As your monobook.js is a JavaScript file, there is no sense in using <nowiki></nowiki>. If you want to comment out an entry, you ought to use // as you can see with my monobook.js. Have a nice day :-) So Why 09:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the message, but in this case, I am going to have to disagree. While, of course, the team is a singular entity, "The Calgary Flames is..." is a remarkably awkward statement and one that is not in common use in Canadian/American English. Sports teams are almost always referred to using the plural form rather than the singular. I suspect this is mainly a difference in dialect and usage between British and Canadian English.

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! – xeno ( talk) 17:41, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much for that Barnstar, Maedin. It's as nice as it was unexpected. I haven't been exactly "cultured, intelligent, capable, and well-spoken" or particularly civil during my Wiki-crisis of the past couple months. :-) I hope you find contributing here to be rewarding. Cheers! Dekkappai ( talk) 19:24, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Why is it because she was not the winner of Miss Nepal for something but look at other girls like Mika Hagi this page is not even said the biography about this girl. so please stop deleting my pages. Thanks( NepaliBoy7 ( talk) 09:11, 14 September 2008 (UTC))
You are "adopted" by So Why me too um, er well yeah just wanted to say hi. No Hollaback Girl ( talk) 03:53, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, Maedin. Yes, that was some sort of odd vandalism. Reports of my goodbye to the world are highly exaggerated. (At least I don't think I had that much to drink last night... :-) Regards. Dekkappai ( talk) 18:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which passed with a count of (154/3/2). I appreciate the community's trust in me, and I will do my best to be sure it won't regret handing me the mop. I am honored by your trust and your support. Again, thank you. – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 19:34, 27 September 2008 (UTC) |
Just re-posting my reply to your comment on my talkpage:
I'm fine with a detailed review. I'd like if you would be able to prioritize the critique though. E.g., things which are "must fix," things which "should be fixed but aren't as critical," and "tips for next time." Also, I am editing this using GarageBand for Mac, and converting the .m4a to .ogg with Switch. If there are quality issues with the encoding there, I would appreciate any technical tips or software recommendations to help. Huadpe ( talk) 08:23, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
and is the reason why I was there. My watchlist has also not updated since about 03:40 GMT. Interesting... E_dog95' Hi ' 09:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello again! With no response received yet to our shared concerns, we had better think about removing or commenting-out the series of spoken articles we investigated. I'm away for 6 days from tomorrow, so perhaps we should proceed after that? Let me know your thoughts. Hassocks 5489 (tickets please!) 11:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
You're right on the money. Perception/PR at RfA is very important. Facts matter a lot less than they should. An off-the-cuff remark can haunt an applicant forever; look at Kww's RfA. VG ☎ 20:10, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the note. I'll change my signature into something more functional, yet more appealing, to keep browsers from crashing. Thanks for the note. Marlith (Talk) 21:52, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Oops, second report today of the wrong format. I do try hard to assess each article correctly, and a lot of them have the wrong format to start with. You're perfectly right, and I apologise. And it was well formatted anyway, without inconsistencies.
But now I see our old friend User Tennis expert has been stalking me and reverting. Someone else has just stepped in since, but naturally enough re-reverted to my faulty version. I'll convert to the correct format now, once, but I dislike intensely edit conflicts over this matter. I'd be pleased if you took it up with Tennis expert yourself if he returns to impose his ownership on the article. I'm outa there, wishing the editors goodwill and going on to make improvements where they're appreciated! Most of his colleagues at WikiProject Tennis don't agree with his extreme stance. Tony (talk) 13:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Maedin. I noticed you were interested in starting a discussion about delinking/relinking dates in tennis articles - well I tried that a month ago - you can see the discussion here. Basically, from the folks involved in the discussion there was support for delinking in accordance with the manual of style. But unfortunately User:Tennis expert doesn't wish for WP:TENNIS articles to follow the WP:MOS and so the project is stuck. I was shocked to find that it has just two FAs, and worse still, they're both about video games (Mario Power Tennis and Wii Sports). I was hoping the tennis fraternity could get together and try to improve articles and really get the project on the Wikipedia map but I think most of the editors there have left over these debates over linking and nomenclature. Good luck with your discussion. The Rambling Man ( talk) 09:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Maedin—you may wish to contribute here, perhaps after the person concerned makes a post: Talk:Cédric_Pioline#Inviting_Tennis_expert_to_put_his_case. Cheers Tony (talk) 09:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Having read over [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ireland#Flag_of_Ireland_2 the discussion] on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland on the recent move and the concerns expressed, I have begun a move request on the flag. Your comments would be welcome here.-- Domer48 'fenian' 19:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for adding your self at Wikipedia:WikiProject Somerset & welcome to the project. You expressed some expertise/interest in bridges. There are thousands in the county, but some that come to mind as in need of help are Clifton Suspension Bridge, Tarr Steps, Pulteney Bridge, Cleveland Bridge and Severn Barrage (although not really a bridge). Others are included in individual town/village articles or Rivers of Somerset. Any help with these or anything else related to the county is appreciated. Once again welcome.— Rod talk 14:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, messed up! I'm pretty inexperienced - I'll go and fix it right now. I think you're right about the title; I was trying to think up a phrase that didn't make it sound like a recognized medical term for a syndrome, and I think Sexually-induced sneezing works better for that ("sexual sneezing" could mean sneeze fetishism, after all). Anyway, thanks for the kind words about the article. Graymornings (talk) 21:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Battle of Crogen at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Sandstein 22:19, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi there! I was browsing the userpage design help desk and checked out your page. Loved the layout, so I have shamelessly borrowed it for my own page. Just thought I should let you know, as imitation is the highest form of flattery. :P Cheers! Her Pegship (tis herself) 23:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
