Made it to FL status. Thanks! --Admrb♉ltz (talk) 18:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Your welcome. :) I guess my copyedit really helped. I should probably start working on an WP:FL myself also... any ideas? Note that I'm a Boston Red Sox fan. :) -- RyRy (talk) 18:31, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
List of Boston Red Sox Opening Day starting pitchers? --Admrb♉ltz (talk) 18:37, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hah! Why didn't I think of that? :) I'll see what I can do. -- RyRy (talk) 18:40, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Er, when you look at Baseball Reference's list of Boston Red Sox Opening Day starters, it doesn't show the starters from 1955 and below...

Hrm, thats odd... I don't know what to tell you on that one. Thats one of the reasons I like the Ms... they are fairly new :p --Admrb♉ltz (talk) 20:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I decided to work on List of New York Mets Opening Day starting pitchers instead, since Baseball Reference actually shows them all. :P -- RyRy (talk) 20:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That works :) --Admrb♉ltz (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Updated DYK query On 8 September, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Dick Woodson, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Apricitabine

Thanks for the note! Wow, my first DYK article (although I couln't have done it without Fvasconcellos's help). --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 17:41, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! If you ever need my help, especially in the DYK process, feel free to ask me. :-) -- RyRy (talk) 01:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Getting the Wikipedia Post to be seen

Hi there, Just came on board to Wikipedia. I made a page about the upcoming film "The Stoning of Soraya M" and I try to google it and can't find it anywhere. here is the link that I have:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Stoning_of_Soraya_M.&oldid=237175287

Any help? Tberden (talk) 00:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC) T.J. 9/8[reply]

Hm, I'm not sure how Google works when it comes to updating, etc. I suggest asking at the Wikipedia:Help desk. You might be able to get more answers there. And welcome to Wikipedia, Tberden! -- RyRy (talk) 01:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thx4thx

Thats cool RyRy - (oh and I respect your edits) ... sometime lots of haste, but little speed. I'm hoping that I can triumph over my fingers ability to make mistakes :-) Victuallers (talk) 08:11, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User page resign

Hi! I was just wondering if you still do this? If so, could you take a look at my page and see if it is possible? Because although it doesn't have a lot of a text in it; and after 3 years of my userpage just looking like an article, I feel I need a redesign. Thanks. - Nick C (talk) 22:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I could probably think of something to redesign your user page. Any specifics (colors, etc.)? -- RyRy (talk) 22:59, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would like a green feel to my page, however not too light green though, bad on the eyes! The Edit Count and Other Stuff sub-sections could be moved to a subpage; my personal userboxes can be condensed into a scrollable sidebar like the shoutbox is here and the WikiProject ones can be made collapsable. I would also like the font to be changed to "Kristen ITC" if possible. Thanks! - Nick C (talk) 09:58, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

user page request

When you have time and if you don't mind, my userpage needs serious help again. I added some things and goofed it up. I posted on your talk page on Sept 3rd. I think you missed it but It's ok. Thank you!! --Npnunda (talk) 02:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC) No problem. Thank you for your help!! --Npnunda (talk) 04:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Thanks for the DYK notification from me and Nick! --Gwib (talk) 13:12, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. Gwib is actually my own creation (although not a sock-puppet - at least I don't think so, on the last observation). Nick Michael (talk) 21:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Next update

Please take a second look at the lead hook for the next update. According to the article, the original Kamikaze was not a mission in the commonly known sense of a suicide attack. It was a nick name of a Japanese passenger plane. The hook reads: ... that Tachikawa Airfield (pictured) was the military base in Tokyo from which the 1937 Kamikaze mission to London took off? I think it should read instead, "from which the 1937 original "Kamikaze" passenger plane to London took of" or something like that. Cheers, --Poeticbent talk 17:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe your mistaken. I didn't load the current next update, so saying "second look" is redundant, because I never took a "first look". I loaded the update that is currently on T:DYK and on the Main Page as I write this. If you look at this, you can probably see I never loaded the current one. But I'll take your word for it, and I'll change the hook for you. Thanks, RyRy (talk) 19:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did You Know

Hey RyRy. Can you do me a favor? I have an adoptee, User:Chamal N, who just submitted his first DYK nomination. Would you mind reviewing his nomination? I would, but it would be a conflict of interest. Thanks for the help.--LAAFansign review 17:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
