Calling programmers
We need coders for the WikiProject Disambigation fixer. We need to make a program to make faster and easier the fixing of links. We will be happy if you could check the project. You can Help! --Neo139 09:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Lacrosse stub and wikiproject
What I was implying was that as 60 is the notional threshold for creation of a stub type in general, while it's 30 when it's the one-and-only stub type associated with a wikiproject, and your total seems to be somewhere in between, then it would be more clear-cut if there was one. But more seriously, given that several editors have expressed an interest, there's every possibility of it being a going concern, and of it being useful for the topic: it would appear to only require someone to be bold and actually set it up. You might try contacting the other editors listed and seeing if they're willing to start setting up the page, or else enquire at the "parent" or any related wikiproject for help. Or if the worst comes to the worst, I'd be willing to help out with the procedural and page setup stuff (not that I know anything much about lacrosses... there's a stick and a ball involved, right?). Alai 14:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I just noticed you deleted the info on the WikiProject for lax from about 5 pages on my watchlist (these are the same pages you just recently added to info to)... just curious why you took them away? Stoneice02 20:42, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Oh dear!
Please be more careful with your disambig link repair! You've been replacing "German" with "Germany" will-nilly when in some cases this needs to be disambiged to "Germans". -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 02:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi :) An example of the error is here. I like the idea of a person being half a country :P -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 02:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Deleting pages
I created WikiProject:Lacrosse, and was in the process of editing the page to add real content, when you deleted the page. I have since recreated it, but I thought I'd let you know, in case you see that a page you deleted came back to life. --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 00:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- I did not delete it: I moved it and amended your user page to match. It was also visible in "my contributions". OK so I should have left a note on your talk page as well. -- RHaworth 00:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
a favour to ask
Hey there, thanks for setting up the Lacrosse project. It is a great idea. Since you are popping up a lot in my edit history, I have a small favour to ask. When you add {{Lacrosse}} to a talk page, please put in an edit summary (I usually just paste the template in when I am in a similar situation) and flag the edit as minor. It would be easier to monitor. Cheers. -- JamesTeterenko 19:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, sorry about that - I should have been doing that all along. Question for you - what's the difference between adding {{Lacrosse}} and {{tl|Lacrosse}}? I've just been using the former. --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 19:31, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- No prob. Putting the former is what should be on the talk page, so you are doing it correctly. Using "tl" is just a way to quickly link to a template in discussions without having to type "<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Lacrosse|Lacrosse]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>". It is much easier to just type "{{tl|Lacrosse}}".-- JamesTeterenko 22:09, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Minor edits
Hi. I recently came across this edit which was marked as "minor". Taking a look at your contributions, you seem to mark a lot of them as minor, even when they contain material changes to the article, like this one, so I thought I'd point you at Help:Minor_edit. Basically, an edit is not "minor" just because it doesn't affect very much text. When in doubt, don't check the "minor edit" box. Anyway, nice work on the Lacrosse articles! --Doradus 11:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Old NLL logos
Purely out of curiosity, but where did you find all of those logos of the defunct NLL teams?? --Yarnalgo 03:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- logoserver.com has almost all of them. Their Ontario Raiders one is messed up, but I did a google search and found it somewhere else (don't remember where). The only one I couldn't find anywhere is the Washington Wave. --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 11:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Midnight Sunshine
Keyboard can mean both "electronic keyboard" and ordinary keyboard instruments. How do you know that it's the "electronic keyboard" and not an ordinary keyboard that is performed on the album "Midnight Sunshine"? Do you have it? I don't have this album or any song of it, so I can't tell if you are right or wrong. I rode the information from this page: [[1]]. I know it's recorded in the USA so you can be right. But many early (1970s, 1980s) Kikki Danielsson records and songs recorded in Sweden are recorded with ordinary piano. Johan1982) 19:39, 7 October 2006 (CET)
WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 22:27, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Template:NLL
Fair use images that are allowed on Wikipedia have particular articles they can be used in. Logos for teams generally can only be used in the articles on those teams, and logos of sporting leagues can only be used in the articles on those leagues. Templates which appear on other pages cannot contain such images. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 22:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
New York Titans
Yeah I know sorry about that—I changed it on the Titans' article then reverted it but forgot to revert the NLL article. It's just I know someone who is part of the ownership group and I think they bought the Saints' franchise and that it is the same franchise but I don't know for sure so it is probably best to leave it as it is. --Yarnalgo 03:05, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- PS On that article do you see "William E. Ford"? That is the guy I know. --Yarnalgo 03:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Canadian rock
Hi, I've noticed that you have made edits to and shown an interest in several pages related to Canadian rock. I am currently trying to guage the interest in a Wikiproject devoted to Canadian rock and whether such a project is necessary. If you are interested, please see it's temporary Project page. Thanks for the time, Scorpion 17:41, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Nice work
You're going a fabulous job on the Lacrosse articles. They keep getting better every time I look. --Doradus 16:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
MLL article
Just wondering if you had any comments regarding the start-class. Stoneice02 02:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Fred Waghorne
Howdy, I see that you noticed my Fred Waghorne article. Unfortunately, my sources for this article are heavy on his hockey-related contributions and rather light on lacrosse. If you have any more information about his contributions to lacrosse, I would love to see them in the article. Or maybe you can just send me the link. For now, I just mentioned that he is in the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame and that he officiated around 1,500 lacrosse matches. --Mus Musculus 19:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've been assessing articles for various projects, and changing the case sensitivity in templates to be thorough. But now I can't remember if y'all's wasn't working; I don't think it was. I've been correcting so many, I've just been assuming they don't work. I don't want to revert the template back, just to test it, though. I'll try the lowercase option on the next project template I fix, 'cause if it works, it would be more efficient than including all the options in different cases.
- Btw, I don't think I "broke" anything in the template, but if I did, please let me know so I can correct. I'm trying to help, really, not cause problems. Thanks for the headsup, and good luck with the project! --Ebyabe 13:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
NLL Oklahoma City
Boo.
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I can not find another source. This should be expected, since the expansion is in the preliminary stage and one would expect only the "local" OKC media would have the scoop for a while. I looked on the web and there is no mention of it but there are many forums which have seen the storey as well.
I dont know if you want to use a web forum instead of a major metro to support the claim. Please IP if you like, otherwise - I will update once more is written about the proposed expansion.
thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.104.131.12 (talk) 21:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC).
Fair use rationale for Image:BaltimoreThunder.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:BaltimoreThunder.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Unspecified source for Image:BaltimoreThunder.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:BaltimoreThunder.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
