Query

Hi, you said you had responded to my query "on Wikipedia," but you didn't say where. SlimVirgin (talk)(contribs) 16:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

very silly. Cbrown1023 talk 21:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, but that's not really an answer. The question is who recognizes them as group contacts. Freenode apparently doesn't. SlimVirgin (talk)(contribs) 23:47, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
How fitting, we are discussing this subject on IRC right now. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 16:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

A new flavor of SALT

Hello, I'm dropping you a note because you are listed on Wikipedia:Protected titles/Specific Admin as an admin that is maintaining a personal SALT page. Recent software updates now allow deleted pages to be protected just like other pages. Please consider migrating any pages on your personal list to normal protections, and clearing them off of your list. There still may be situations where a personal list may be the best way to handle a page though. Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 02:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I saw and announced it to AN, but thanks. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 16:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Australia newsletter

Hi Casey, I've completed January's newsletter for WikiProject Australia and it's ready for delivery whenever you get back – see it here. Thanks again for helping out :) Spebi 01:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll be sure to send it out when I get back, if I forget, feel free to poke me. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 16:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

IRC cloaks

You wrote, "You are most certainly still able to get Wikipedia hostname cloaks."[1] Are you sure? Have you obtained one recently? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 03:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I obtained one about a year ago, but I am sure that you can still get them, because I've discussed it with Sean before. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 16:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

December newsletter

The newsletter is done and ready for delivery, but if you are still on a WikiBreak and can't deliver it, let me know and I'll take care of it. Hope you enjoyed your holidays, and see you next year! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 01:04, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd hate to see you have to do it (you don't have automatic mode!), so if it can wait until the 2nd then I can do it; if it can't wait, then you can do it. Cbrown1023 talk 01:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, we do now only have about 150 active members, but that still would take some time if I did it. I'm sure we can wait, BrownBot won't complain! Thanks again. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 04:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Being sent out now and no problem, I hope you enjoyed your holidays too. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 22:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Peer Revues

Happy New Year, Cbrown1023! Given your vast contributions to the Film Wikiproject and other such wikiprojects, I thought I could ask for your help and advice. I've submitted two articles for peer review, and thought that you might like to critique them:

  • Duck Soup. I've listed this article for peer review because, even though I and other editors have contributed much information and references, I'm certain that there are other aspects of this classic film that have yet to be covered. I'd like to hear feedback from you, so that I can get help in improving this (and other Marx Brothers films) quality.
  • Princess Leia Organa. I've listed this article for peer review because it right now seems oddly cluttered and, despite a lot of references as of now, lacks reliable source citations. Although I've already requested another peer review, as long as it helps the articles get better, I've got the time. Comments and suggestions are appreciated, as this should help me in expanding other Star Wars-centric articles.

If you have the time, it'd be great if you could look over those two articles and assess their strengths and weaknesses. Thanks, and, again, a Happy New Year to you! I hope we cross paths again! — Cinemaniac (talkcontribs) 18:46, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to handle this soon, but a little busy right now. Feel free to poke me if I don't handle it in a few days. Cbrown1023 talk 22:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Dear friend, I hope you had a wonderful New Year's Eve, and that 2008 is your best year yet! ~ Riana 02:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I might be gone, here's the question. I see the point being made here: Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Zeraeph-SandyGeorgia/Evidence#Evidence_page, but just how much of the evidence page should I move to talk? I'm not sure where to draw the line. Pls be specific, as I'd like to do it myself. RlevseTalk 22:08, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You're invited!

WPMILHIST Newsletter

Hi. I'm not sure if I got this right, but I think your bot skipped over D-M lettering when delivering the newsletter. I know I am in that range and did not receive one, while I saw some other user talk pages that did. Thanks. :)   jj137 01:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It seems that all of the participants listed here in the D-M range have received their notifications. —Animum (talk) 03:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Whoops, I guess I accidentally passed up that short notice. Sorry about that --  jj137 03:46, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, but it seems that the middle portion of the main list got skipped somehow. No idea why, though. Kirill 22:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

What do I need to do to have BrownBot send invites for the 6th Philly meetup? I'm almost ready, I just need to fill out the template and close the location voting. --TexasDex 23:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'm ready now. I just need you to post Wikipedia:Meetup/Philadelphia 6/invite to all the people listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Philadelphia/Philadelphia_meet-up_invite_list in a section named "Philadelphia meetup 6". If you need any more info from me I'll be happy to help, just let me know on my talk page.
