Randy Galloway

Actually, I did another Yahoo! search and found with relative ease articles mentioning Randy Galloway and that he hangs out at Lone Star Park. Save this "didn't think so" crap for someone else. Duckdid 02:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism Warning

What vandalism do you speak of sir? I can't recall any vandalism I've done as of late. Don't be an asshole, dude. I'm removing your warning, and I'll warn you to stop vandalising my discussion page until you show me proof of vandalism. Good day sir. --Monosylab1k 22:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Blocks

Hi there! Not to worry, I think you did the right thing. Here was my resoning for not blocking: for me, 65.170.1.10 stopped vandalising by the time s/he was reported. Other administrators might have blocked, taking into account the edit history of the IP. It's sort of a judgement call - at the time, I had the inclination to let the few incidents of the day pass. That IP does have a very odd edit history - I might periodically revisit that page just in case - especially since there is an AfD up that the IP seems particularly interested in. I hope this helps. --HappyCamper 23:11, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I can not get the Congolese flag to appear where it should go in Mbenga's infobax just as the Senegal flag appears for the Infobox on Diop above it. Can someone show me how to fix this? I am only trying to improve the article, so please don't bite the newbie. :)

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WikiProject Biography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page New irc channel Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: #wikipedia-en-bio Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.
