Hey D.S.[1] ... nosing around at our Starkey/Parkin changer's contributions after he got a name ([1]), I found the subject article (and its close sibling poesybeat)... First I started fixing it, because that's what I do. But then.... Alexa has no rank for the website associated and googling for the term found a lot of m:walled garden and not much else useful. Smells like neologism. AfD fodder? What do you think? ++Lar: t/c 01:03, 12 March 2006 (UTC) PS I just got LOVE PSYCHEDELICO THE GREATEST HITS[2] from Japan. 1. Careful with that Lar, really. It doesn't offend or bother me, and I know you're friendly with the other people named and not just me, but an outside observer might think it uncivil (or worse). 2. Sheep on Drugs. Debut album, Greatest Hits, 1993. Close but no cigar! :P Will look at said articles now... --kingboyk 01:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Good point about DS, I redacted it on the "... for dummies" AfD and will try to keep it in mind (but it's hard, because it's FUNNY!). The article isn't vanispamlinkcruft per se but it strikes me as an attempt to give notability to something that isn't notable yet. Do you want to AfD it or shall I? ++Lar: t/c
Featured portal candidateI just nominated the portal I created for Northern Ireland. Please have a look here to vote if you've got the time. If you think the portal doesn't deserve featured status, please don't vote yet, and give me any suggestions to improve it instead! Ta muchly. --Mal 05:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
lol :P Take a look at G in the category.. frig it .. look here. It needs your status template though - I didn't know which one you'd use. --Mal 06:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Your vandal counterOK, this should probably be in WP:LAME, since it's pretty sad that I'm even writing on your talk page about this, but anyway, your vandal counter SHOULD be 12, as when you upped it after Tawker, and subsequently I reverted, you only upped it once, though both Tawker and I reverted vandalism. This is quite possibly the most trivial topic ever, but whatever. --Rory096/24.46.201.42 06:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: The Future PartyHello! Thanks for the heads up. I'm still getting used to the admin processes in my first week on the job, so it's great to have these things picked out for me, as you have seen in my earlier messages! Regards, (aeropagitica) 10:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Non-admins closing out AfDsShould I not have closed down the Beverly Polcyn AfD even though, as the nom, I withdrew it? I only closed it because I didn't want it to float for 7 days until an admin checked today's deletion page, in a week. tv316 11:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
CSD'sCowboy, eh?
Thanks for dropping by my talk page. I'm gonna have to exercise more discretion in the future then, chap. Crzrussian 13:27, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
It didn't happen exactly like that... I didn't know it had been relisted when I closed it (had I known, I wouldn't have closed it). I had a slightly stale copy of the old AfD log... occasionally admins do step on eachother's toes like that (unfortately it's relatively easy to do). I've gone ahead and reversed my delete, which is kind of irregular, but I shouldn't have closed it in the first place. --W.marsh 16:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
TemplatesHi Stifle, I've seen you put onto a user's talk page a long notice starting: "I notice that you tagged this page for speedy deletion, with the reason..." (i.e. a CSD decline). Are you using a template to do that, and if so where is it? If yes, please let me know on my talk page, if no then no reply is needed :-) Thanks! Not sure if I congratulated you on your promotion or not but if I didn't, congratulations - you deserve it. --kingboyk 09:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Your talk page designYou really have a great design here for your talk page. I wanted to ask you if I could please copy it and put it on my talk page. I'm shopping around for design styles for my user pages (and if you've ever seen my user page, you know why), and out of all the styles I've come across so far, I really like your's the most. I don't know if you made it yourself or you stole it from someone else, so I thought I would ask you first. Thanks. tv316 19:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Female sex offendersHi Stephen, I noticed you had tagged a couple of these new female sex offenders pages and expressed a concern that they do not meet notibility standards. I nominated one Heidi Choat for deletion and thought I'd let you know. I'm mainly concerned about the lack of proper referencing in these article and the fact they've only been based on single newspaper articles, but I also don't think they meet notability for living people. I'm not lobbying for votes, I just thought I should let you know since you'd tagged the other pages. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 23:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
NI Portal: pics not displaying?Check out the Northern Ireland portal for me and let me know if you can see Van Morrison and George Best's pics, would you? I'm getting the satellite pic and others, but those two are just blank, and right-clicking shows that "Show picture" is greyed out. Probably just a(nother) problem with my PC, so if you can see the pics, no worries. --Mal 05:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Odd. I can't see any evidence of tampering. And like you say - FF shows it up fine apparently, while IE does not. --Mal 14:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Hey mate. I might have messed your page up when either Wiki or IE went bikkies on me (when I tried to comment here Wiki threw me up a blank talk page for you). Sorry for the inconvenience if I did - I just threw the head up a went off and did something else. I wonder if you know anyone who'd know why those pics aren't displaying on the NI Portal..? Cheers. --Mal 08:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Lar - that's exactly the situation for me also. I'm going to the tech peeps to see if they have any idea. Cheers. :) --Mal 13:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah - all three of us use popups. What I don't understand is why those three pictures (there's a pic of Samson and Goliath (Cranes) that doesn't work on the page also) don't work and the others do. They're all jpegs. I reported it to BugZilla anyway. --Mal 03:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC) HI back :)Hi Kingboyk... Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I'll admit that in my newbie-ness I assumed that was some sort of automated welcome -- didn't for the life of me realise that a) someone would pick up on me or that b) someone would think to drop me a line and some helpful instructions :) As for your comment re: my pages - I'm really just setting them up for now but I intend to go back and add a whole lot of content when I have all 51 girls up (big job when you're new :P) - and I'm fitting it in around university as well. You mention pictures... I went to upload a picture but was turned off by the Images found on websites or with Google's image search should generally not be uploaded to Wikipedia. message and by the "summary" box - can you offer me any help in this direction? Thanks again, CarlyPalmer 19:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
KnoxWhy did you delete the Knox (flash artist) page (and the Robert Benfer page) even though the virdict was nomination withdrawn? Why do you think that Knox is not important or good enough for wikipedia? sorry forgot to put my signature --JoeBlowfromKokomo 00:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
i understand, but for the page that i created it chosen not to be deleted, keeping in mind the previous deletions. --JoeBlowfromKokomo 01:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Continuation of my own "Pictures" thread :PHi again... thought we'd best split from that previous thread - getting too acrimonious. Now, you're welcome to a) disagree and/or b) delete the links but hear me out first (trying to be rational)
Anyway, you're probably waiting for me to shut up about it but that's my two cents anyway :P CarlyPalmer 04:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Beatles facial hairStephen, I just thought I would annoy you with your own suggestion! :) John had the best full beard (although somewhat thick), then Paul (his moustache was wimpy), then George (woefully incomplete in spots) then Ringo (whose beard appears to reside mostly on his neck). Quick unrelated question: Do you have an interest in current Apple Records operations? ZincOrbie 21:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
No I've made an ambiguous comment. They were very polite and didn't comment on me at all- I just meant that two distinct users disagreed with my decision to speedy tag and then re-tag on the talk page. Seeing as there was a protest from a third party, I moved it to AfD, that's all. May I retract the warning please because I think this may leave an unfair blot on their reputation? Thnkyou for your hard work.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:14, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Something you might have an opinion on...Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy#Proposal for policy change on shared IPs .. dunno if you have an opinion either way, but I thought I'd put a suggestion out there anyway. Meant to tell you about this earlier. Back to work on the Beatles for me! :) --Mal 07:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
The Beatles discographyKingboyk wrote in "The Beatles discography" log: > I prefer the central align. Using alignment of page elements to lead the eye is a basic principle of graphic design. [2] [3] [4] You may not know this if you are not a graphic designer. The central align makes readability considerably more difficult without visible table cell borders. There isn't a clear indication of where the description begins for the relevant album image. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the spacing between table cells is little more than the spacing between lines. All of the descriptions for the albums run together.[5] The alignment of the album images to the top of the cell gives a visual clue to the reader of where the description begins. Without that alignment the user must expend effort to hunt for the beginning of the description. Given this would you please reconsider the vertical alignment? > I planned to keep the style="border: 1px solid lightgrey;" change, but I will make a replacement image then. I could not find a way to specify a border for an image in the mediawiki syntax. For replies, please respond here or via email. Mperry 22:12, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi - I notice you moved the redlink "Colin Hanton" from WP:Beatles with the comment "Move Colin Hanton to redlink list in discussion". Problem is, there isn't a redlink list in the discussion. What happened? Grutness...wha? 07:51, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
217.199.54.130Can you tell if 217.199.54.130 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is a shared IP mate? Cos if its not, I'd have the eejit long-term blocked right away, considering his 'contributions' to wiki. His latest 'contribution' was to replace the whole of the Northern Ireland article with "fu". --Mal 09:59, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
So I see. Two different IPs, who both seem to have a problem with England's history for some reason. Go figure, as they say in the States! --Mal 11:10, 16 March 2006 (UTC) WTF? Did you see the last two England vandalism attempts? As of now, I am extremely of the opinion that people who do not register an account with Wiki should NOT be allowed to edit existing articles. EoS. --Mal 12:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC) SLFIs there any chance you could have a look at the Stiff Little Fingers article and make recommendations for its improvement? I put a expand tag on it a few days ago.. specifically, I think, because I felt the intro was far too short. User:Jcuk came back to me about that, and I made some recommendations that I could think of. He seems keen to get the article up to scratch, and I'd be happy to leave him to it because, although I like SLF's music, I don't know much about them. I thought your experience might come in handy here. OK - that's my convoluted way of saying I think yer great! All right? lol --Mal 11:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
lmao! --Mal 11:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC) (PS. BTW - I was thinking of giving you my email addy if you could be arsed having it.. any way to do that without dickheads getting hold of it?)
Don't delete what you don't understandPlease revert the Trouton-Rankine post, there is a discussion ongoing on this subjectAti3414 18:04, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi mate, I'd recommend not listing articles you have tagged for speedy deletion at AFD until an admin has had a chance to come by and have a look at your speedy request. Alvin Luk is an obvious speedy delete, so by creating an AFD too you've made more work for both of us (but especially me as I have to now close the AFD). Not a complaint, just a little bit of advice :) No reply needed. --kingboyk 05:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Eddie IrvineJust saw your edit change. I was thinking that the second sentence, "He was born Edmund Irvine on the 10th of November, 1965, in Newtownards, and grew up in Conlig, County Down, Northern Ireland.", would imply that he was Northern Irish. I was thinking of looking up someone like Jenson Button to see what pattern is followed there - he is British, but also English. --Mal 08:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Pitpass :) --Mal 12:59, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Re : Terence's RFAThanks for the message. I've revised my comments. Yes I still do have strong confidence in his RfA, which is why I've decided to nominate him in the first place. If you have anything more to say, feel free to let me know on my talkpage. :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 09:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC) The Beatles red linksHey Steve. You did a strikethrough on the redlinks section, but the streets are still redlinked in The Beatles' London article. --Mal 12:57, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
S'up to you. I was thinking of keeping them as a record of what we've done.. and so that we don't attempt to go over the same articles again. I'm onto the albums now. --Mal 13:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Orr (surname) --> Orr?You'd advise this? I was thinking of doing it. I've moved the Orr page to Orr (Catch-22) and changed all the links via Whatlinkshere. Of course, my IE chose to hang half-way through! I might move over to FF tbh. Anyway - I'm going to remove the disambig tag from Orr (Catch-22) and put one in the Orr (surname) article.. then possibly move the Orr (surname) page to Orr. Your thoughts..? --Mal 13:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Sarah Jayne VercoeI wanted to let you know that I removed the notability tag from Sarah Jayne Vercoe. I understand why you raised the issue. I considered it myself when I put the unref tag on more than a month ago and asked the creator for sources. To let you know, I'm pretty conservative about the treatment of non-famous people and strictly follow WP:BLP. This is my thinking with this case. Fame can come from an event. That is what happened here. She's very well know now in her country for this crime. She raised public awareness about female offenders and will be remembered differently forever more. Also she caused politicians to scramble around and change regulations. I think it is impossible to know what the public will want to know 100 years from now. We need to think a little more short-term. In 10 years, I think it is quite possible that I would look in an encyclopedia for the names of female sexual offenders that caused public opinion and laws to change. regards, --FloNight talk
Image:Applecorps.jpgThere's a wikiproject dealing with untagged images. In order to keep the image from continually reappearing on that list, it needs a tag. The overpopulation of the related categories is an interesting problem and might be worth raising on the project's talk page. SteinbDJ 17:26, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Carter and XL RecordingsIt was wikepedia that wouldnt allow XL Recordings not me...originally I changed it to XL Recordings but the system wouldnt allow it. Carter - The Unstoppable Sex Machine is the way they are categorized in the Guinness Book of Hit Singles and Albums from page 96, edition 18 - only USM was in their cat number never had a listing as Carter USM...Page 213 of THECOMPLETE BOOK OF THE BRITISH CHARTS SINGLES AND ALBUMS by Neil Warwick, Jon Kutner and Tony Brown has the act down as...Carter - The Unstoppable Sex Machine again no mention that the act is shortened to Carter USM. However page 375 of Guinness for Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark it states Group is often known as OMD, so in this case it would be justifiedXljesus 17:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
also if you look in the edit history for XL I says its (not XL records it is XL Recordings) with the capital...so dont blame me blame the system!!!
Gary Numan is released via Cooking Vinylor are the people on this site so pedantic that it has to be credited as Motal Records GARY NUMAN ALBUM AT HMV!!!Xljesus 20:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Thats ok!!! I thought you were going to delete everything I have done...which has been many hours and still a back log of Record Mirrors to get through! P.S. Do you know who GIMPO was?
Junior Giscombe, Norman Giscombe, Datsun/Nissan and Joey Negrore: The Joey Negro page moves... you wrote.... Now, look. I've spent the last hour or more trailing behind you clearing up your mess. You're moving pages left right and centre to bizarre names which don't reflect the way we do things round here. I am going to ask you not to move any page until you have discussed it on the talk page first, or you have checked me with my on talk page. Dave Lee / Joey Negro for example is not how we do things. For a start, you have superflous spaces between the slash and the words. Second, it goes against our naming conventions (which I want you to read). and put This policy in a nutshell: Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature. Another way to summarize the overall principle of Wikipedia's naming conventions: Names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors; and for a general audience over specialists. That would be Joey Negro then, wouldn't it?! :) --kingboyk 19:36, 18 March 2006 (UTC) However somehow I think there is one rule for one and one rule for another...depending on whether or not you are in the clique... Kingboyk may i bring these two examples to your notice Example number 1: Norman Giscombe From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Norman Giscombe was born on 10 November 1961 in England. Known simply as Junior, he scored a UK Top 10 hit with “Mama Used To Say”. (Norman Giscombe is the uncle of UK comedian Richard Blackwood who later covered this song in June 2000). His follow-up single, “Too Late” also made the Top 20 charts in the UK. After a period outside the charts, he made a brief return to the UK top 10 in 1987 when he sang a duet with Kim Wilde on “Another Step Closer To You”. He also became involved with the formation of Red Wedge in 1986 with Billy Bragg, Jimmy Somerville, and Paul Weller. [edit] External links Brainy History—events of November 10, 1961 Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Giscombe" Categories: Male singers | Vocalists now if the following is correct: This policy in a nutshell: Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature. Another way to summarize the overall principle of Wikipedia's naming conventions: Names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors; and for a general audience over specialists. This article is completely at odds in what you are saying as most people would know Junior as Junior... Om my 1982 Kodak Video Rock Attack Video his is on Track4 and track13 as Junior in the Guinness Book of Hit Singles Junior is used on the chartfor 8 hit singles including his top 10 hit with Kim Wilde then for his 3 MCA solo hits as Junior Giscombe highest no. 32. In the advert on page 19 of RECORD MIRROR issue of September 29th 1990 he is credited as Junior Giscombe. However as the album Stand Strong (released on MCA 24/9/90) was not a hit most people will know him as Junior for the album Ji. ALSO...in the Junior page...no mention of Junior!!! the singer of Mama used to say of Junior the other singer who did the Top 30 hit IRISH BLUE with All Around The World Production duo Fluip and Fill... Example 2 Junior From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Junior may refer to A level of association football played in Scotland, differentiated from the Senior level. Junior hockey A Latin term meaning younger In the United States, a student in the third year of high school or college; see high school junior A child A child with the exact same name as a parent (almost always a son and father, e.g., Ken Griffey, Jr.). They are sometimes (incorrectly in US English) also called II, especially if there's a third or fourth with the same name. (There are, however, situations where II is correct and Jr. is incorrect.) See also Suffix (name) A common nickname in the United States; e.g., a nickname for George W.

Why is there a separate page for Datsun and Nissan? as seen below...then again if you want separate pages...ill put Joey Negro back to its original state Example 3 Datsun From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Datsun is a former brand used by what is now Nissan, in order to sell their automobiles in North America and Australia. Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datsun" Example 4 Nissan Motors From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Nissan) Jump to: navigation, search "Nissan" redirects here. For other uses, see Nissan (disambiguation). Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (TYO: 7201 , NASDAQ: #HYPERLINK "http://quotes.nasdaq.com/asp/SummaryQuote.asp?symbol=NSANY&selected=NSANY"NSANY), which formerly marketed vehicles under the Datsun brand name, is a Japanese automobile manufacturer. The company's main offices are located in the Ginza area of Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Nissan plans to move their headquarters to Yokohama, Kanagawa by 2010; the headquarters will start construction in 2007. The company marketed vehicles under the Nissan and Datsun brand names until 1983, when the Datsun brand name was dropped. Nissan used to be Japan's second largest car company after Toyota, but it has dropped to third in size after Honda. Due to financial problems throughout the 1990s, the French manufacturer Renault bought a controlling share in the company and installed Carlos Ghosn as president, the first non-Japanese person to run a Japanese car company (Mazda was run by an American, Mark Fields and by Briton Lewis Booth and Mitsubishi was run by a German, Rolf Eckrodt). Under Ghosn's "Nissan Revival Plan" (NRP), Nissan has rebounded in what many leading economists consider to be one of the most spectacular corporate turnarounds in history, catapulting Nissan to record profits and a dramatic revitalization of both its Nissan and Infiniti model line-ups. In 2001, the company initiated Nissan 180, capitalizing on the success of the NRP. Ghosn has since been idolized as a national hero in Japan as a symbol of the strength of the currently ailing Japanese economy, with Ghosn and the Nissan revival story prominently featured in Japanese manga and popular culture. His achievements in revitalizing the Japanese company have been noted by Emperor Akihito, who awarded him the Japan Medal with Blue Ribbon in 2004. Nissan is also noted for being one of the world's leading manufacturers of automobile engines, with its VG and VQ V6 engines appearing on "Ward's 10 Best Engines" for 12 straight years - every year since the award's inception. Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Products 2.1 Non-Automobile Products 3 See also 4 External links History In 1914, the Kwaishinsha Motorcar Works (快進自動車工場, Kaishin Jidōsha Kōjō), established three years earlier, in Azabu-Hiroo District in Tokyo, built the first DAT.

AdviceMate I'd like to make a complaint to administration against this guy's use of his user page. For a start, it is offensive to me. It contravines WP:NOT and, I'm sure, many other policies. One particular part borders on incitement. He is using his userpage as a sounding board or soapbox and is quite obviously bigoted, full of hatred, and small minded: not a person I feel that is likely to submit many NPOV edits. I appreciate the recent debates about userboxes etc, but this guy goes much further than anything in the use of userboxes that I've seen. I am not looking to get the guy banned (although my personal opinion is that Wiki would probably be better off without him). And I would note to you that if I ever come across a user who has similar (though politically opposing) beliefs, I would be just as quick to complain about them too. I debated in my mind as to whether to put the name of the person here, as I don't necessarily want you to get involved - I just want your help in the actual complaint process (direct me to a page or whatever). Anyway, I figured you could always delete the link later, which is: User:Fenian Swine. --Mal 12:23, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
No probs - thanks for the advice. I'm going to leave a note with JzG. PS. As a "Brit", I'd have assumed you found his userpage pretty insulting too. --Mal 04:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC) PPS. Yup - I saw it (redlinks page). Haven't had a lot of time, but I'll probably get back to it shortly. --Mal 04:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Sounds fair enough to me, and actually mirrors my own opinion somewhat. Its not as if the English people hadn't affected my own ancestors way back when (I come from Church of Ireland and Presbyterians, and the latter was actually affected much worse by the Penal Laws than Roman Catholics, resulting in many of them leaving for the New World 150 years before the Potato Famine). But I don't hold a grudge against the descendants of the few English people who were in administration at the time, nor with the English people as a 'race'. I don't know if you want to get into a discussion about it, so I'll just leave it there - I'm sure you have better things to do! ;) Oh - I'm just caught up with my watchlist now btw! --Mal 08:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry :(Oh, I'm sorry... I haven't dealt with vandals directly that much, and I thought that he was magically still vandalising. Oh well, thanks for the heads up! M o P</big> 18:50, 19 March 2006 (UTC) P.S. Your color scheme is very nice; very relaxing.
Divisive imageThank you for your comment about the crossed out EU flag. Seems like by notifying all those who used it, ROGNNTUDJUU! ensured that they all voted against its deletion although it clearly serves a divisive purpose. Rusty2005 also wrote he regards the image as offensive. Anything that could be done about this? De mortuis... 18:53, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up!Oops... thanks for that. smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 19:32, 19 March 2006 (UTC) Black RoomThanks for the note; I certainly didn't mean to claim authorship of the page on the KLF record (though I'm surprised it's much of an issue on a collectively authored site). I do think there should be a dab page listing at least the two films and the book by that title, and that the album should be on a separate page. I am not adamant about the torture chamber having its own page, at least not yet; as I said, this could become a big issue within a few weeks (or it may not). This is all pretty new, which explains the lack of google hits (try google news), but given the circulation of the NYT, I would suspect that by tomorrow more people will have heard of the Black Room in Iraq than have heard of the (non)record by the KLF. Not that that really tells us much since we're comparing apples to orangutans. I also don't think a lower case title is appropriate for the torture building (or for the films, or the books) since the title is used in all caps in all those cases. A dab page pointing to articles for each of them would be fine, I think, whether or not anyone starts articles on each of those things right away. But I'll let you handle the page move since you're right I am used to "just doing it" the old way. Didn't mean to cause trouble :) --csloat 22:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). 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 04:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Stalker AND DS!Stop stalking me! Smile... (If you have too much time on your hands, you may want to look at contribs for the user I'm interacting with, esp. Tony Sidaway's talk page...) On the other hand while it's not a barn star at least someone gave me something! So far I don't have much of a oollection... ++Lar: t/c 10:51, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
