Welcome to LazyTown?

Hi there, I noticed you left me a message about this page getting deleted [1]. I'm sort of confused why... I have a bad memory and can't tell since there's no history for the deleted page anymore, but did I create it or something? I think I did create a redirect page at that location which redirects to the list of LazyTown episodes, but I can't find it listed under contributions. Possibly deleted pages get removed from your contributions list? I find that to be bad bookkeeping... I think I should probably contact User:Reedy_Boy about this deletion. If someone hijacked a simple redirect page and vandalized it to be some sort of attack page, I'd think simply reverting their changes and banning them would be a better solution than deleting the entire 'article' which was a redirect to an episode description.

Your edit to Talk:Anne Tyler

Regarding your adding the rating to "none" to the Importance value in the WP Biography template, the link for showing more information now produces this: "This article has a deprecated non-null importance= parameter. It should be replaced with priority=" Just FYI—I'm not familiar with the ins & outs of WP Biography. --ShelfSkewed Talk 01:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Really? So it's a good idea to let you continue to make erroneous edits? As I said, I'm not conversant with the standards & practices of WP Biography. I didn't want to mess with your edit in case there was a reason that you did it that way, that's all. I was hoping to learn something—either by your reply or by how you fixed the edit—not get replied to like I'm a nuisance.--ShelfSkewed Talk 02:11, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

It seems that I misunderstood the tone of your reply, and for that I apologize. I didn't mean any harm, and neither did you, and that's the end of it. Happy editing!--ShelfSkewed Talk 21:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Mediation Commitee Nomination

Per the two oppose rule, your nomination to the Mediation Committee has been declined. Your nomination has been delisted and archived here. Please note that a new policy was recently enacted in which a user cannot reapply within 3 months of their last declined nomination. However, we recommend that you take this opportunity to use the comments made at your nomination to improve yourself not only as a potential mediator, but as an editor of Wikipedia in general. Thanks again for your interest.

On behalf of the Mediation Committee, ^demon^{[omg plz]} 22:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

You'd have to ask him for his rationale, as I personally don't agree with divulging off-wiki communications. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 01:45, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

{{Salem Stub}}

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 07:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

hey

I didnt add unhelpful information, i reverted vandalism, check more carefully---- La Parka Your Car 01:41, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Jewell

I don't understand why you deleted my contributions to the Jewell page. It was not vandalism. I took a lot of time entering useful correct information. That page didn't even have the name of her unreleased LP. What I added was not a rumored title. It was from an interview with Jewell from a magazine with her on the cover! I also added titles of about 15 Jewell songs, I don't see why you had to delete that. If anything, YOU are the one vandalizing that page. 14:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

???

Why would I vandalize my own page? And how is this [2] vandalism?? -- Thankyoubaby 01:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, you did revert my own edit, since you said you reverted two edits by me. Obviously the last one was not done by me, I must have left my account logged in on a public computer. Thanks for removing the vandalism warning though. -- Thankyoubaby 18:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Task Forces

Hi Cocoaguy,

So far our Salem Witch Trials task force is not doing as well as I am sure both of us hoped. So in order to change that, can you help me create some stubs, templates, awards, banners, ads, etc. to put on the task force page for people to use? Also, can you help me recruit some more members? Anyway, in the mean time, would you like to create an American Revolutionary War task force? Because there are an American Civil War, WWI, WWII task forces, so shouldn't there also be a Revolution one? Right? Just to tell you, if we do make a American Revolutionary War task force, it will be a lot of work, it would be much, much larger then our Salem Witch Trials task force. Now this next idea might seem like trying to bite off more then we could chew, but if we do make a Revolutionary War task force and if it does work and if we get it under control, maybe we could make a War of 1812 or Seminole War task force as well. Please get back to me ASAP with your thoughts.

Thanks,

Novel Infobox

You asked me to contact you on your talk, don't know why (IRC is so much faster...) I'm working on the The Hacker Crackdown article, specifically the infobox. I'm having trouble finding 1) the correct genre 2) confirming the original publisher and publish date and 3) correct format to include the ebook freeware in the media section.
