If you're interested
I wrote Lebanon in the Eurovision Song Contest, you may be interested since they withdrew because of the Israel issue. If you want to proofread too that would be great because I want to get it up to GA status. Grk1011 (talk) 12:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'll take a look at it. But be careful what you wish for, you might not agree with my edits. However, don't hesitate to revert my edits if you don't agree with them, my version isn't necessarily better than yours. Best, --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 15:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What's your opinion on the category "Israel-Lebanon conflict" too? Grk1011 (talk) 15:35, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Was thinking about that, but than though the better of it. The article, Israeli-Lebanese conflict, which seems to be the parent of the cat, mainly refers to military conflicts between the two countries. But I don't have a major problem with its addition. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 15:40, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I looked in "Politics of Lebanon" which seems plausible but that category mainly has articles about political parties and such. I'd say go for "Israel-Lebanon conflict". Grk1011 (talk) 15:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is the network singular or plural, I thought singular, but you changed it. We usually only use the plural when we say Lebanon (country) and its broadcaster, but idk. Also, its too bad that the other site that has tons of info Oikotimes.com, updated their site and didn't archive the the older articles, there would be many more articles about Lebanon, maybe we can use the wayback machine? Grk1011 (talk) 17:26, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the singular/plural. I think I'm finished for now, I hope I didn't totally ruin the article :-) I wonder if the expansion it went through the last couple of days make it eligible for a DYK? --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 17:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Its just under 3x expansion, needs 5 for DYK, but i found two more sources and I'll see if I can add a little more to the article. Thanks for all your help, I'm going to put it up for Good Article status when I'm done. Grk1011 (talk) 18:24, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Re:Hector Feliciano
Thank you for the kind words. When I stumbled into Hector Feliciano, I knew that I just had to write about him. Amazing story isn't it. Tony the Marine (talk) 01:08, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
since you like to clean-up after me :) What do you think about the mention of the controversy surrounding its collection of monies. It probably needs more but I'm finding more tablod and less reliable source coverage. PS: Holy Cow in 13! TravellingCari 05:04, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, you plastered this link on my talkpage, so I'll go ahead and ruin it now :) Feel free to revert whatever doesn't please you. Real life had caught up with me, so I'm kinda limited Wikipedia-wise. I see you are still keeping tabs on the Yanks. Why? Are you checking out their prospects for the 2010 season? --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 05:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, played around a bit, but I must get to sleep now. Will look at it next time I log in. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 05:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Danke, as always. Just curious what does ce mean? Never seen that before I don't think. I think it looks fine, apart from what I know I need to add anyway. Know what you mean re: real life, no time for down time. Always love my Yankees, it ain't over 'til it's over. I'm not discounting a run if they ever manage to switch it on for more than two games in a row. Hope life chills out for you and you get some rest. TravellingCari 15:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
haha. i'm the one that's usually perplexed by your abbreviations. " CE" means copy edit. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 16:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Duh! Should have got that from LoCE. Question re this edit, otherwise I agree and you're so getting co-creidt on DYK if I get it there. I'm pretty sure it is the same person. Did you find evidence it wasn't? ust curious. TravellingCari 17:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article you linked states that she's 49, and the Cox with the article is much younger. Congrats on the Moose's #16. Amazing!--brewcrewer(yada, yada) 02:25, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Miracles. I think he needs to be coach and player. Impeach Eiland. Hmmm. I think something is wrong because from the evidence I've found it's the same actress in osme of the same roles. Odd. TravellingCari 03:27, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
An article that you have been involved in editing, Devil's Weed, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Devil's Weed. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?
I have updated more references and hope this satisfies Wiki's standards so that this page is not deleted. Please advise. Thanks! (Lmolina21) 16:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
) Don't waste your time on these, those were three second stubs to be a bit pointy at an AfD -- just create the subs rather than argue at AfD. I did three but there are other articles I want to work on. I'm bad :) but as always thanks for the help TravellingCari 16:11, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! You should know by now, I don't create stuff. All I do here is ruin other people's creations and argue at afd's.
:-p You're more inclusionist than you were when we first 'met' TravellingCari 16:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's true, I have moved to the "left" somewhat. I think you also moved a bit towards inclusionism. No? Btw, did you nominating that Catholic museum for a DYK?--brewcrewer(yada, yada) 16:25, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did, answered you on my talk. Link already off my c/p so can't put it here. Multi tasking to the nth degree :) I am more inclusionist -- I swear I get more "complaints" for de-tagging things and fixing than I do for deleting. That and the fact that I don't enjoy cleaning out CSDs. I like the fun of trying to see if something is salvageable (sp?) TravellingCari 16:32, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh cool, I need my DYK fix. I just realized that its pretty dumb me, I could have just checked the DYK talk page at the date the article was created. Whatever. In case you're unaware and would like to get involved, there are two more redlinked dab pages up for afd here and here. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 16:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Will go have a squiz. DYK junkie :-p TravellingCari 17:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I saw your point. After I reviewed the page, I saw more than the two sections tagged had no references, like Show format and discussions and some in Incidents and Controversies. I will put your original version back. Thanks a lot for telling me the reason. --Chaohwa (talk) 17:14, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mike and the Mad Dog link
New York Post, Friday, August 15, 2008, page 109: "Good or bad, Mike & Dog made history.
I will try to find it online Johndoeemail (talk) 18:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
(it was on my kitchen chair :) )[reply]
Ok, i guess i like wiki, ill read the newbie stuff you put on my page b4 i post anymore.
it'll prolly save other people headaches...
I hope the newbie stuff tells me how you moved the footnotes around in mike and the mad dog so you made that one footnote 1 and moved all the others back one footnote...way too complicated for me. fyi, i just learned how to do enter "edit summary" text the other day.Johndoeemail (talk) 04:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You're doing just fine. Don't worry about reading too much stuff, you'll learn more from editing pages and interacting with other editors. Regarding the footnotes, I just added one footnote, and it automatically moves up all the footnotes one number. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 13:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Re: post on my talk page
Looks like Tom already salted it after he deleted it. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 19:20, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, my. I took one look and ran away as fast as possible. That whole discussion is messy enough without me, and I'm not really familiar with that whole situation. But thanks for the heads up. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 04:14, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
lol, I just won't end! Grk1011 (talk) 13:48, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That afd wasn't really about him, it was only added mid-discussion. In any case, it is irrelevant. Right now, he's the spouse of a vice president candidate and he deserves an article. Don't worry, it won't be long before a more reasonable administrator will unlock the page so that it can be properly edited. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 16:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is so sad that Wikipedia is controlled by less than "more reasonable administrators". I am ready to write for BOTH articles. The Mrs. Biden article isn't so good. The Mr. Palin article is in the middle of an ocean wearing cement shoes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.176.20.2 (talk) 17:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Mrs. Biden article can be edited - Jill Biden. We'll have to be a little patient regarding the Palin. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 17:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you
Thank you for your compliments! I used to write here every few months, usually with fixing spelling and maybe commenting on the incidents page. Then with the news of Mrs. Palin, I decided to write something about him as he's an average dude that is now in the news. Only later did I find out there was so much opposition! To me, he's a neutral dude unless you really hate his wife or the Republican Party so much that you want to smear him. People like you encourage others to contribute. It's when some people are snappy that it either turns others away or makes them retaliate with vandalism. Radiomango (talk) 21:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know the feeling. Some editors get kicks out of making up problems with others behavior and blocking stuff instead of contributing to articles. You gotta get used to it. Best of luck! --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 21:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
opinion?
I have found a disturbing potential problem. There is one editor that was opposed to the Todd Palin article before and is now editing it, removing some details. If this continues, more and more details may be removed until it will look like a joke article ripe for removing. The person seems very partisan having a hatred of Republicans (looking at his other edits). I am not interested in Republicans or Democrats; you won't see me editing John McCain or Barack Obama. I am just interested in this average dude that is now semi-famous. There seems to be an effort to remove anything remotely positive so that the rest is just bland.
Without having to "prove" this person has bad motives (which I don't intend to do), what prevents others opposing the article from making the article shorter and worst? Radiomango (talk) 22:24, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have to run now so I can't really take a look at it. However - and this is one of the great things about Wikipedia - all problems are not set in stone and can be rectified at a later time. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 22:35, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Pramila miss india, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Pramila miss india is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

Thanks for your note. I restricted my reformatting to one section at a time. One reference at a time is very inefficient. I just went back and did a check to see how much of your previous edit to the Family section was reverted. The edit conflict removed content that you added to the first paragraph — "The family lives in Wasilla, about 45 miles (72 km) north of Anchorage" from the first paragraph and a few references that you removed. My apologies. I did purposefully make a two wording changes.
Thanks for your work on the article. — ERcheck (talk) 05:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. At this time, it's really impossible to do large scale edits to the article. This article has really gone nuts. It has been edited on average an edit every minute and a half since the rumors of her nomination started. I have yet to come across such a phenomenon here at Wikipeida. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 05:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

you totally know this made me want to Twinkle-bomb you, right? :p TravellingCari 02:57, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

figured as much. I know you won, my doorman was happy. All Else OK? TravellingCari 04:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
oh wow, I didn't know that you're such a fancy gal that you have a doorman. I guess I have to treat you with a bit more respect. A bit stressed these days, but otherewise I'n doin fine :-) Thanks for asking. I hope all is well with you despite your lack of October plans ;-)--brewcrewer(yada, yada) 04:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's harder to find a non-doorman building these days. We're not talking concierge type, but rather security and delivery. It's a good system. I have October plans, both football and baseball. Your Mutts had a bigger lead with fewer games to play last year, for that matter so did the '78 Sox. It ain't over :p. Hope your other stressors go away. TravellingCari 14:40, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What are your football plans? You better not be a Giant fan, cuz I won't be able to rib you. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 18:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Guilty as charged, since the day my 5th grade teacher brought Phil Simms in to meet our class. TravellingCari 18:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, luck you! You probably remember it like it was yesterday. No? --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 22:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yeah, and then I feel old when I realise how many years ago it was. Was right before they won in '91 so doubly cool. No one was going to forget that. TravellingCari 16:30, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Before, just before he broke his...ankle was it? I can't remember what it was. Rumours abounding here about other QBs losing their jobs, but I don't see that happening. PS: Instant replay is dumb, even when it goes in their favor. TravellingCari 02:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Brewcrewer,
Thank you for your welcome cookies. I actually do have a question regarding my Wikipedia entry. I was told it was flagged for deletion for being too advertising based. It is simply an explanation of what "Whoo hoo" means to WaMu. How would you suggest it be changed? I don't see it being any different than the way "Got Milk?" was described on its page or "Think Different" for apple was described. Just curious if you had any educated advice on what could change to help it be more neutral. Thank you, and look forward to hearing back from you. Rosangela1985 (talk) 06:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again, my apologies for deleting someone else's post it was not intentional. I really appreciate your reposting my entry. I was reading your conversation between the other Wikipedia people and I understand that there is an element of too much WaMu promotion. If you could please just let me know what key parts are really too much I'd be happy to remove them. I guess I have just read this too many times to know what's not sounding neutral. I'm not sure even something that you do, but if you could help this "noobie" out I would really appreciate it! Rosangela1985 (talk) 17:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
From what I understand, it's not the WaMu promotion that concerned the deleting administrators, it was the ad agency's promotion. It usually isn't a specific word or line that makes something promotional-like, rather it's the general context of an article. Hopefully, I'll be able to play around with the article a bot more in the next few days so that we can move it into the mainspace. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 01:24, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you would like to improve the article, a good place to start would be to find reliable sources for the information that you put into the article. --brewcrewer(yada, yada) 01:59, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By reliable resources do you mean articles talking about the ad campaign or something more definitive than that? As for the song I don't think it has any relationship to the song other than the word whoo hoo. Rosangela1985 (talk) 16:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
