Wikiproject Bangladesh Premier League requires your attention!

Hello Strike Eagle, this message is sent to you because Wikiproject Bangladesh Premier League had been inactive for quite a long time and we need to make it active. Now, third season of Bangladesh Premier League has been started from November 22 and it's scheduled to end at December 15. So come and start creating articles about BPL and update BPL related topics, and make this project active again. Thanks in advance. --Pratyya ^(Hello!) 15:00, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Barnstar and change of name

@Strike Eagle: Thanks for the barnstar. STiki's badge is pretty and I don't have many. But you may remember that you already left one for me and for the same cause not long ago. I think the reason for the confusion is that I changed my Username in WP. Everything else has been merged into the new one except STiki. I hope having two identical barnstars in my page and two different records in STiki do not give the wrong impression. Thanks. Historiador (talk) 06:53, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Naming

Is this Vijayawada–Nidadavolu_loop_line name ok? Or needs to mention all four major stations in the loop?--Vin09 (talk) 07:22, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I think naming the first and last stations is fine. Thanks, ƬheStrikeΣagle 14:52, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.

After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.

We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.

The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), Figureskatingfan (talk), and Godot13 (talk).--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

The guy you had an argument with on the India Pakistan relations template

Hi. So I've restored the previous content (WMDs, space, IT, supercomputing), but I've changed the template so it won't refer to it as a rivalry anymore. It just expands on the science and technology of each country independently. --39.44.89.97 (talk) 23:29, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Greetings

Hello Strike Eagle: Enjoy the holiday season and winter solstice, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, Vin09 (talk) 06:20, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the Admiral of the Fleet of the Indian Navy awarded to User:Anir1uph and User:Vibhijain

I can see that you have awarded the Admiral of the Fleet of the Indian Navy to User:Anir1uph and User:Vibhijain. But it is completely illegal, the naval ranks can only be conferred by the President of India as per the Constitution of India in view of invaluable contributions to the Republic of India and you can't just award them to anybody as you wish to anybody just for some Wiki contributions.
