Adminship

Feeling ready to run? ;) --Dylan620 (contribs, logs, review) 12:32, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

No, too busy at Simple English Wikiquote and Simple English Wikipedia. At the earliest, I'll run early next year. I feel I've got too poor an editcount or activity in requisite areas for being an admin. Thanks for the offer though. Cheers, Pmlineditor ∞ 12:37, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Middle-earth character infoboxes

Hi there. You're signed up as a member of Wikiproject Middle-earth. There's a discussion on character infoboxes going on here. It's heading towards a fairly inconclusive 'no change' at present. If you're interested please express your views (for or against the proposal, or an alternative) at the WP:M-E talkpage. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 20:44, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Cheers, Pmlineditor ∞ 08:04, 8 October 2009 (UTC) PJ Main Page question Hello Pmlinediter. Do you know what "(H)" means in the character table in the main article? I'm cleaning it up but would not like to modify it without your input. I assume it means "hunter", in which case I'll just remove them because that's really trivial information:). Thanks, Airplaneman talk 21:27, 11 October 2009 (UTC) I guess it means Half brother/sister. Pmlineditor ∞ 10:48, 12 October 2009 (UTC) That makes sense. Thanks, I'll keep it in there. I'll do it now. BTW, I'll be away for the rest of the week without internet access (camping trip) so I won't be active.

There is now a template to be used for welcoming potential PJTF members! It is {{PJwel}}. When put as {{subst:PJwel}} on a user's talk page, it turns out as: Hello, Pmlinediter! I'd like to invite you to join the Percy Jackson task force! We (obviously) work on improving PJ articles and would appreciate your help. Cheers!

It's {{PJ-stub}}, which you can put on any PJ-related stub (there aren't any at the moment). Any input is welcome at the template's talk page.

Special thanks goes to RegentsPark, Samir and John Carter for their kind nomination and support. I am truly honored by the trust and confidence that the community has placed in me. I thank you for your kind inputs and I will be sincerely looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas ( including my english ;) ).

Ottava Rima (talk) 23:03, 31 October 2009 (UTC) Yes, coming up today. :) Pmlineditor ∞ 10:01, 1 November 2009 (UTC) MARHEDGE deletion I'm not sure if it's notable enough either, but it is relevant to the Bernard Madoff investment fraud. It seems to be one of only two publications to hint at skepticism of Madoff's operation before his exposure. I'd like it if we retained the article for a few weeks to see if it eventually passes notability, with the help of contributers who know more than I do. Best wishes Rich (talk) 16:09, 1 November 2009 (UTC) If you find 3rd party sources to assert its notability and make it a bit better, the article will be kept. :) Pmlineditor ∞ 16:18, 1 November 2009 (UTC) TT:DYK - Battle of Stralsund (1678) Thank you for your comment.

Pmlineditor ∞ 09:17, 2 November 2009 (UTC) External links for UK Towns Hi, Thanks for the info re adding external links, I do have a number of uk town websites which have community info about the towns and yes I know they have nofollow stuff but thought they would be good for each town to be listed? Also I am adding the wiki listing for each town so my user can get wiki info, I was only adding them to the list of other sites relevant to the town. I thought that would be okay, and apologies if that's not the case. I value your advice. Thanks, James Small james@uktownsontheweb.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesasmall (talk • contribs) 16:30, 2 November 2009 (UTC) Please read WP:SPAM. There is a restriction of adding external links. If you need any help, feel free to ask me. :) Pmlineditor ∞ 16:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC) re External links for UK Towns Hiya, I've read the restrictions and should have read them first, sorry....I again wrongly assumed that new listing should be put at the top and would then be moved down! Would it be okay for me to have a proper go, tomorrow?
