A DYK Medal isn't just for life... edit

For his several fabby entrants to DYK, (I cannot believe that there wasn't a Dogs Trust article!) I awared Smur this shiny medal. Wear it with pride, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 22:23, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals edit

Saw it on the DYK suggestion page. Great article, enjoyed reading it. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 05:30, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

User:HighwayCello/Minun edit

ILM deleted it! He moved it to User:Iloveminun/Black Hole then tagged it, then blanked User:HighwayCello/Minun. I managed to save User:HighwayCello/Minun but all the stuff got deleted. Can you find it in the deletion archives? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom looks quite nice now. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
(nods) Torchic was even worse, I had two FACs and two sets of completely different problems. Would you like a hand on anything? ^_^ (guess who's going to be away for a week?) Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
The middle section seems very bolded.. kinda giving me a headache actually. Why does television have to be so annoying at times, it's like nails on a chalkboard. On another subject, what is the sudden buzz with Shiny Pokémon? ; ) Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I zapped a stupid shiny Pelipper. Stupid no GBA backlight. I don't see the benefit of a Shiny Torchic picture, but anyway. ;) That's life isn't it, they never give you what you need when you need it. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
You know the "Smurrayinchester my talk my preferences..." bit at the top of the screen, has yours jumped to the left? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Went to the right and jumped back.. ¬_¬ Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:58, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Very odd. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 19:25, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I wonder who this is? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 19:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks for catching that, Smurray. I got a bit absent-minded while trying to work on the backlog in CAT:CSD, but don't worry, you won't see me doing something like that again. ;) More thanks, Sango123 20:20, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks from Samir edit

Dear Smurrayinchester, thanks so much for your support during my recent successful request for adminship. I really appreciate it. As an aside, it was good of you to help sort through the Minun and socks situation. Take care -- Samir धर्म 08:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Rugby World Cup Finalists Map edit

Dear Smurrayinchester,

I have just seen your map Rugby world cup countries best results and hosts.png and noticed that there were a couple of things wrong with it. I have created a new version and would like your permission to upload it. Drop me a note if you want more info. The changes I've made are:

  • 1. Countries without a win at the pool stage now coloured black;
  • 2. Italy added and coloured red;
  • 3. Host nations have larger magenta dots;
  • 4. British Isles inset added (double scale) and host dot moved from Ireland to Wales;
  • 5. Recoloured index and countries to make semifinalists easier to differentiate;
  • 6. Placed boxes around Tonga, Samoa and Fiji to make them stand out easier against ocean.


Hope the above meets with your approval. --die Baumfabrik 04:33, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


New version uploaded edit

Map of countries best results

Hello again, Smurray, I've uploaded a revised version as Rugby world cup countries best results and hosts rev1.png for two reasons:

  • 1. You may like to try before you buy;
  • 2. My wikiMedia account is too new to directly replace the image. I could wait four days, but I thought we should strike while the iron is hot. Would you like to move the image yourself?

Thanks for your help. --die Baumfabrik 07:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Arbitration edit

Tony said we should both leave statements, I think you would help the case with your good words. The case is here. Hopefully you can get round to it, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yikes! edit

Can you move Team Rocket (Pokémon) back to Team Rocket (anime)? Someone completely ignored the whole discussion on the move, and I can't fix it. Cheers, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 18:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thankio! Highway Rainbow Sneakers 20:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

edit

Cool! Do you still have the original files? I'd like to make a flat-color version of the image for print. Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 22:55, 18 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Without gradients, really -- company logos are usually vector-based and typically only use a couple colors because it makes them easier to reproduce well (not an issue onscreen, obviously, but good for other media). Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 07:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Alright, cool. Just wanted to make sure there was a flat version in the wild. Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 17:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Happy Birthday edit

Hello friend. I wish you a very happy birthday. Yesterday, I could not come to wish you as I was getting late. BTW, I learnt of the same from Wikipedia:Esperanza. All the best for the coming year! --Bhadani 12:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Featured List Candidate edit

Thanks for your advice on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of areas in the National Park System of the United States. I have made the changes you suggested and responded on that page. Thanks again! Nationalparks 14:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sarah Jane and K9 edit

Please include your observations on the talk page as I have requested comment to create concensus on this issue. I am interested in why you beleive Sarah Jane Smith is not a Tenth Doctor companion.71.254.4.208 07:00, 21 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Award edit

Perhaps you would like to go and support an award for this wikiproject on the award proposal page? The idea is about to be archived.--evrik 17:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

A short Esperanzial update edit

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! edit

Hey yourself! It's good to be back, I see you're an admin now. Good going! Wikiwoohoo 15:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Court edit

I am finding out who is guilty, Iloveminun or HighwayCello. I would suggest that you be involved in the Wikipedia court I created at User:Poke Master/Court, regards, Poke Master (TalkContribs) 11:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

More socks edit

Is it just me, or does this seem odd? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 12:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've had similar thoughts about User:Erupting Turtle, but that isn't as clear cut. I don't see how he amazingly whipped up a copy of the ArbCom page out of thin air, it's all rather odd. He's inviting all god knows people into it, User:Iloveminun, User:Celestianpower, you, me, User:Raichu, it's like a dodgy Agatha Christie novel. I take it the best thing to do is ignore it? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 12:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
They all seem to find the PCP rather fast. Maybe ILM isn't the root puppeteer, his first edit was summarising an image. It makes no sense, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 12:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I am officially paranoid. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 12:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
You are the weakest editor? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 13:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
What do you think? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 19:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

And his IP and ILM blocks end today. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 19:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I'm reporting them all, hasn't he earned close to an indef block yet? Highway Rainbow Sneakers 19:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

"Bicycle" edit

You added "Bicycle" to Jimbo's "In many languages" page. Uh...what is bicycle?--The Ninth Bright Shiner talk 07:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Barnstar edit

Thanks a lot! I’m chuffed! Can ask you to place it on my main user page in the contributions and accolades section; that way it will be an authentic placement (rather than having me move it). Once again thanks a lot! (and thanks for your help too!) Miller 16:40, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Notes in Doctor Who episodes edit

Sorry about the clumsy search-and-replace, I paused before checking my work because I was realizing this might be a larger scale problem than just one article. I've brought up my issues with the format on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who#"Notes" section in episode articles. Bryan 06:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

A favour? edit

I was wondering if you could perhaps delete User:Wikiwoohoo/Important Message since it is now superfluous to requirements. I'd be happy to return the favour. Thanks! Wikiwoohoo 19:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
