I just got back from a bachelor party weekend for a friend of mine, and have no clue what this is in reference to, other than the new MK game (I would assume). What am I looking for and, more importantly, what time stamp is whatever this at? EVula // talk // ☯ // 19:22, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your comment, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant. With regard to your suggestion and that of other comments at the AFD and the article's talk page, I was able to find a source that gave some critical commentary, and I have added that into the Reception subsection of the article [1]. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 05:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

It's been awhile

Hello. This is TimySmidge. It has been about three years since I was blocked from Wikipedia due to creating multiple accounts and annoying the hell out of everybody. I have left Wikipedia alone since those fiascos, and I believe that I have matured enough to have another chance. Can you please unblock me? 173.9.240.101 (talk) 17:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Time for another?

I know you're just getting done with Love's Labors Lost (or whatever production you're intimately involved in at the moment), but I was wondering if maybe it was time for another Meetup? Looks like the last one was pretty well attended - a dozen people, maybe? What do you think? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:07, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

I'd be up for another meetup. I'm going straight from LLL into Cyrano de Bergerac, but I'll at least have my weekends free. The last one had a dozen or so people in part because there were a bunch of bathrobe cabal folk there too, but we might be able to squeeze some people out of the woodwork. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:37, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Just convince the BRC to get their arses back to TN (or close by)! — Huntster (t @ c) 04:52, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, if they're good looking bathrobes, I guess that's okay :) Have fun with Cyrano! I'm going to leave a note with Lara - anyone else? Or should I canvas all the people from last time? Sigh - I don't want to organize this... :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:58, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't want to organize it either; I've got more than enough on my plate, and I'm barely active on any wiki anymore... EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:24, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry. Formally taking over a theatre company has that effect one one's spare time... EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:38, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Ark Transformers history restore

I don't suppose you could so something similar with Nemesis (Transformers) as you did to the Ark page, as it has lots of history and references I could use in the list page. Thanks! Mathewignash (talk) 11:35, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Done. Hopefully some of it can be properly merged into List of Transformers spacecraft; there's a lot of unsourced crap in there, but it's easier to find references if we know what to look for than if it's deleted. EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:09, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
