Thanks for your report. In the future, if both accounts have already been blocked, it is not necessary to file a report because it does not matter: anyway they are both blocked. Only file a report if at least one user is not blocked, or if two users have been blocked as sockpuppets but you think they are not sockpuppets. Yechiel (Shalom) 23:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Wikiquette alert

Hello Mm40.

I apologize if, in anyway, you see my filing against Pmanderson as undermining your position as our mediator regarding the World War II starting date. Due to the consistency and sheer number of attacks, I simply felt that it would be best to start the process against what I would deem inappropriate behaviour as something of a separate matter to discussion pertaining to content. Oberiko (talk) 02:49, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I regret making your mediation harder; but I do not believe that Oberiko correctly represents his sources, and I know he does not correctly represent my posts. I have attempted to avoid speculating on the reasons for this beyond necessity. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 01:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I should add, however, that you have asked extremely useful questions, and I hope you will continue before you go on break. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:29, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Help

Hello Mm! Thanks for the help on the Sit Back Relax article. Unfortunately, the admins didn't like the article, and so it was deleted. I'm wondering what to do next...do you think putting it under the massage chair article would be a good idea, or should I just redesign the current article? Maybe you could help me? This is my first real article, and I do think it could be of interest to the community at large. I am including a copy of the article below (without the headline markup), as well as my e-mail address. I've also signed your guestbook :). Thanks!

Mike MAP91 (talk) 14:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Article

Hi Mm,

Hope you are enjoying your vacation! Just wanted to tell you I started a new article instead of continuing on the Sit Back Relax one. I feel that the new article is something that is needed, and the article is on Xavier Gonzalez, a well-known Spanish American artist. I was very surprised when I found that there was no article yet. He was actually a family friend, and, from what I have learned through my research, a very accomplished artist. I would appreciate any tips on the article, and what I can add. I would really like to get it up to start class soon, and then go from there. Do you know how I can get it on the bot list to be assessed? The instructions are quite cryptic on the help page. I'd also like to put the article into categories, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. Thanks again for the help!

Copy edits and the backlog

Hi there!

I noticed you were active in the former league of copy-editors. I joined the LOCE something like a few days before it became historical, and have been making a lonely effort to reduce the copy-edit backlog so I've been curious - why did the LOCE close, are there any efforts going on out there to reduce the copy-edit backlog, and do you think there's a point in establishing (and would you join) a wikiproject purely to maintain the category of articles needing copy edits? Thanks ;) -Samuel Tan (talk) 09:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

News from the diamond
From the Editors

Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did.

In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29

WikiProject Articles Needing Copy Edit

Hello there!

I have begun a new WikiProject that has a very simple goal, to improve Wikipedia by dealing with the articles tagged for copy edit, and am wondering if you are interested. *smiles* This project is not a clone of the defunct League Of Copy Editors because we will not deal with requests for review (that is currently handled by our good friends over at Peer Review).

I expect that this will be a relaxed, happy and casual WikiProject, because participants will be able to take things at their own pace and use the project page to ask other participants for help. A handful of people have already expressed interest at the proposal page, and if you're interested, feel free to sign up at the project page itself and discuss the project at its talk page.

There are now over 4000 articles needing copy edit, and very, very few people working on them, so any help, however small, is appreciated. I am in the process of getting word out about the project, so I'm pretty sure we will be in good stead to fulfill our goals.

Cheers! -Samuel Tan 03:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mm40 - just to let you know I was looking at your edits to Biafra - and you added a comma to the international date format - which is incorrect.

Walter de Coventre dates

If you are going to take it upon yourself to delink an entire article, it would helpful to other editors for you to make sure you do it right or it just creates more work. The article was currently in the U.S. date format of August 28, 2008. The U.S. format always has a comma. When you delinked the dates, all the dates were left without a comma. The other date format that most countries use, 28 August 2008 does not have a comma but the date format you left it in does and it looks really sloppy to leave it without one. You also missed a good amount of the dates, leaving some linked and some not. It would probably be more useful to do one section at a time so that you don't miss so much. My comment was directed at you but I was not really irritated at you, I am more irritated at this new mass removal of linked dates from articles. It doesn't help much in my opinion, especially when users who delink the dates do a sloppy job. But I didn't mean to overreact, I know your intentions were good. LonelyMarble (talk) 01:39, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, it should be in the international format of Day-Month-Year, since that is the format Scotland uses. Note on your edit here though, [1], take the first change for example: you delinked June 18 and August 23, 1361 to June 18 and August 23 1361. International format, or the date format used in most countries other than the United States would be 18 June and 23 August 1361. They list the day then the month then the year without any commas. You delinked the dates but you left the date format in the US style of month-day-year, and if you leave it in that style then you need the comma after the day. So when you delinked the dates you should have switched the day to before the month, that was the only thing you did wrong. Pretty much if the article is United States centered then the date would be August 28, 2008. If the date is any other country it should probably be 28 August 2008. The only thing you did wrong was you left the date at August 28 2008. It's not a big deal, pretty nitpicky. LonelyMarble (talk) 01:58, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No big deal, I didn't mean to come off as cranky towards you. It's just that it will take forever to delink all dates in Wikipedia articles and there are many users that don't see why it should even be done. If it's really agreed upon to delink all the dates someone should make a bot to do it, that would remove all human error from the problem and save a lot of people time. Anyway, I looked at your userpage and see you like to be a Wikignome, which I do too, so at least you'll make sure you get your date formatting right in the future. If you have any questions about formatting or something like that feel free to ask me anytime, I've worried myself with stupid stuff like this before too and I think I know my way around pretty good by now.

Artichoke-Boy's First Article

Hi Mm40! I took your advice about creating a Wikipedia Page, and finally did it! Here's the link to it if you have time to check it out.

Feel free to tell me if I did anything wrong or if I should've did something else to it.

Copyedit request

Hi, I found you listed at WikiProject Featured Articles under available copyeditors. Tony suggested at the FAC for Disintegration that I find someone not familiar with the prose to copyedit it. Would you be willing to help out? WesleyDodds (talk) 08:23, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Question

Hi Mm40! Thank you so much for all the help on my first article. I really appreciate it! Here's to show my thanks:

Artichoke-Boy (talk) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Also, I have a quick question for you. Do you need to contact someone or make a proposal in order to create a new article on Wikipedia, or can you just go right ahead and make it? If the page is part of a Wikiproject, is it manditory to tell other members you're making it before you do so? Please respond ASAP.

I'm asking you this because I want to create another page as a part of Wikiproject Wimpy Kid, which I joined.

Too Late

...too late, I already made it. Here's the link to it if you want to check it out.

I did it

Hi Mm40! Yeah, I was the one who deleted the section. You said I forgot to log in? I wasn't aware of that! Oh well...

I havn't been all that wikipedia-active lately, but I should be getting busier soon.

Oh, I have one quick question. Is it possible to delete your membership to a Wikiproject? Can you do that?

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 03:38, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers

Sorry to see you're retiring, and I hope you decide to come back in due time. Cheers mate, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:57, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
