Hello. Looking at your thingy (I think that should be a word. I use it alot) on the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area/Adopters page, I see that out personalities actually (almost) match (no not the thing that lights things on fire). Any way when I look at your user page, you said you wanted to return that adopting favor. And the first user box on my page should show an opportunity for you. Let me know if your interested! Sincerely, Sir Intellegent 20:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Please feel free! :-) Kirill Lokshin 15:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
你好 you know, I've said it for years, but only since corresponding with you have I ever written it! - I finished the rough draft for the first template, let me know what you think: User:NDCompuGeek/WIP/project5. The image is just a placeholder (unless you think a frog playing the guitar is a good representative picture....), so don't shoot me too bad for it. ;-)) There will be a derivitave of this talkbox for use on appropriate categories, as well as the "real" template talkbox, with all the bells and whistles and trimmings and shtuff. Please be kind! - NDCompuGeek 10:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Is this type of redirect allowable if it is meant to be a shortcut? (oh, and check this out, I made it my self!) Sir Intellegent 01:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi CompuGeek, I saw your user page and understood that you are a sort of Computer Techie. I'm a new wikipedia editor and I want to be adopted. Can you consider my request?

Hi there! Do you think you could adopt me please? -- pizza1512 15:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi CompuGeek, Thanks for your adoption. I've edited many portions of article Windows vista, removed citation required tags, of course by citing them. Now, How should I recommend that article to make it a "Featured" one?
Mugunth 05:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Ya, It helped a bit. I went through the featured article criteria and other links you provided. I think article on Vista should mature further to be a FAC. By the way, how is this nomination done? Anyone can do it? or only Admins? Mugunth 05:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
What time zone are you in? North Dakota is split into 2 unequal halves by the time zone line. I am asking so I know weather you answer my questions immediatly, or later, or in a week, or in a month, or in a year.... Sir Intellegent 19:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Wonder if you can help? I have a link on the tambourine page(and a number of other music pages) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tambourine
Watch a video "how to play a half moon tambourine" < http://blog.drumcrazy.co.uk/blog/_archives/2007/2/22/2756485.html>
It was a very well used link until April 2nd when it stopped working(as did all the others following a similar model.)
Users get the message:
access from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tambourine has been denied
Now I don't know if my blogware is blocking it or if there is some other problem any ideas? Freddythehat 10:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
You know, that $%&%#^* frog is growing on me now...! - NDCompuGeek 22:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know about the {template:talkheaderlong} thing. I didn't do due diligence and check the usage of the template before I used it.... My VERY bad.... Anyway, thanks for catching it! - NDCompuGeek 00:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, ND, I noticed your edit to bell-cot and wanted to run something by you. I think of a bell-cot as more of a structure to hold a bell rather than as a musical instrument. It is a stand, shelter, or shed used to house a bell, but I've never really thought of it as an instrument. I wonder if the article should be in another category....
Also, what do you mean by being a mentor? I rather need one for an article that plagues me.

There now is a proposed project to deal specifically with articles relating to Baptists at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Baptists. If you would be interested in joining such a group, please indicate as much by adding your name there. Thank you. John Carter 19:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey, Geek, Someone have played with my user page, and it shows some new boxes, though the history remains untouched. What could be the reason? Mugunth 12:26, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
How can one put user boxes that one has made into the userbox catalogue thingy-ma-jig? ( These are the ones I have made) Sir intellegent - smartr tahn eaver!!!! 20:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for hailing me on the above. I'm definitely interested in working on pages involving music, though more capable when it comes to biographies of composers and musicians. (I particularly focus on the latter in interwiki work between English and Hebrew). As my Wikipedia editing activity is largely devoted to my main sphere of expertise (the Holocaust) plus fairly regular patroling of the Humanities and Language reference desks, I won't take on full-fledged involvement in the project. However, I've signed the guestbook, suggesting how I can be of most help. Do feel free to call upon me when there are new articles in need of a skilled editor's eye and hand :-) -- Good luck!

Hi, I saw your name on the WikiProject Christianity Membership page.
I've made some changes to the WP Christianity main project page, added several sup-project pages, created a few task forces section, and proposed several more possible changes so that we can really start making some serious progress on the project. Please stop by and see my comments on the project talk page here and consider joining a task force or helping out with improving and contributing to our sub-projects. Thanks for your time!

Hi. I would be happy to help you to set up your first umbrella nomination. For starters, can you please take a look at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion#How to use this page and let me know if any parts look tricky to you? Basically, you will tag all the cats that you want to rename with {{subst:cfr|ProposedName|CfdSectionName}}. For each one, "ProposedName" is the new name for that cat, and "CfdSectionName" (something generic, not an actual category name) should be identical for all of them. After you do this, you then need to do the Part III. This is the tricky part, because it looks like the template is not correct to make it work properly. Instead of trying to type out how to fix it here, may I suggest that you copy the markup from Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 April 7#Subcategories of Category:Animal births by year and modify it to meet your needs? The name of the section that you use here should be the same "CfdSectionName" from above to make the category headers link to it. Let me know if you have any quetsions, or if something goes wrong and I can lend a hand. -- After Midnight 0001 02:26, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Can you please stop removing {{ talkheader}}'s? If it is a bot, please make the appropriate changes. Thanks Deniz T C 18:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Get well soon! Sincerely, Sir intellegent - smartr tahn eaver!!!! 16:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
And, for Bunch-a-Munch, I could Help you with him, Its the least I could do for you (of course, I would still need to be adopted by the "Master". Sir intellegent - smartr tahn eaver!!!! 16:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
For anyone who is interested, I created a Get Well Soon card. Feel free to sign it. Sincerely, Sir intellegent - smartr tahn eaver!!!! 19:23, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
