Ah, I see what happened. To find out if this person was notable or not, I googled him. I accidently typed in "reza wasashi" instead of "reza washahi", so I came up with 6 search results, none having anything to do with him. I'll get rid of the WP:HOAX allegation.

your efforts to help improve Croatia national football team have been great, and without any biased views you have done a great amount of work to assist this article in maintaining GA status. I also remember your smaller edits a while ago when you were trying to improve the article. Your efforts are not forgotten. It is Wikipedians like you who make Wikipedia such a great source of information. Thanks again! Domiy (talk) 23:11, 19 December 2008 (UTC) |

Monobook
Hey Gonzonoir. Wisely, I think Wikipedia is preventing me from pasting the Twinkle script into your monobook. So you'll need to paste it yourself. I recommend starting with the settings I used, by copying the content of my monobook into your own. Right now I have it set to watch pages that I mark for speedy deletion - if you don't want that, just replace the last line's parameters with "[]". You'll need to clear your cache before the changes take effect. I'll check out your monobook and make sure it's in there right. Good luck! FlyingToaster 08:09, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Your monobook looks so beautiful, it brings a tear to mine eye. You should begin to see some changes to Wikipedia now. For instance, tags on the upper right of every article that let you slap tags on people and things, mark them for deletion, etc. Let me know if you don't see these or need any help with them. Of course the monobook you pasted is just like mine - but you may find that you want to change it to your will. This explains what all those parameters are and how to change them. The last four entries, for instance, are about if you want any pages to automatically be on your watchlist - a very personal choice I would never dictate to someone. In my own version, I only have CSD pages go to my watchlist. FlyingToaster 17:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oooooh neat! I'll getting R-ing the FM and have a tweak. Have already started using it on a couple of articles - the POWER! :) Gonzonoir (talk) 19:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Template of sadness
Hey Gonzo - good work finding this error and correcting it! The articles with Template:YU_Roshei_Yeshiva will fix themselves eventually. However, it can take a few minutes to a few days because the Wikimedia job queues are processed separately by dedicated servers. To manually fix the articles, you can go to each one (one at a time I'm afraid) and do a purge: just add "?action=edit" to the end of the URL and press enter. Also, have fun at the meetup! I'm going to my first in February too. FlyingToaster 23:36, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
OTRS
The template you named is the Commons version. I was referring to {{ConfirmationImageOTRS}}. Since only users with OTRS access can confirm permission has been given, they are the only ones who can add that template. One of the other templates in Category:OTRS templates is used to inform others that the claim has been made. - Mgm|(talk) 20:32, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Leonard Stanley
I'll see if I can dig up a bit more on Leonard Stanley, although the British -History Online article will make a good source. Good find :). FlowerpotmaN·(t) 22:06, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- No worries! I'd guess there's a fair bit of useful stuff there. Looks like the village has at least a school and football club, so there should be lots out there. The name sounds kind of like a 70s third-division footballer, though :) Gonzonoir (talk) 22:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Got a Mavis Enderby and Old Bolingbroke feel about the name for me. Yeah, seems to be a population in the hundreds all right. Useless trivia: it was the ancestral home of Billy Butlin. I'll fiddle with the article if I think about it over the weekend. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 21:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of James Chippendale

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article James Chippendale, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Is there really any sound evidence of notability here?
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Orange Mike | Talk 17:59, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- I templated you because I wanted more than one set of eyes here. I only really consider the fourth item a solid source; the others are more or less fluffy (especially the third, which is a blog). --Orange Mike | Talk 18:12, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Nah, I'm not that much of a deletionist; AfD would be overdoing it at this stage. Just clean it up, and maybe let me know when you think it's properly cleansed; then we can discuss it. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:22, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Fairway
The redirect was exactly the way to go. It preserves, not destroys, the page history. I've reinstated it. DGG (talk) 20:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi - are you absolutely sure? The Fairway Markets had the longer page history, but is now just a redirect, while Fairway Market singular was created only today and had very little history. I think it should be the other way round. Gonzonoir (talk) 20:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes,we can reverse it. Personally, I dont think its worth the trouble--see WP:MOVE. Some people may think it matters. If you want, ask at WP:RM, I won't object. The main thing anyway is to build up the article, because i think it will be nominated for deletion by people who do not realize the importance. DGG (talk) 21:42, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, I see Cunard requested (and Anthony Appleyard carried out) a history merge last night, so looks like all's well that ends well. I'll see if I can find some material to build it up over the weekend. Gonzonoir (talk) 09:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Still learning Wikipedia formatting, so excuse me if I'm not looking completely professional on this talk page! Anyways, I am helping the Fairway Market page grow. I have the correct logo with white background as a jpg. Is this the person to come to, to help me get that uploaded into the infobox? Would you want it on a server to download if you are able to help? (looks like I need help from an administrator) Thanks! Meverbeaver (talk) 14:57, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
I actually haven't read it yet, though I bought it over Christmas. I don't want to read your article before I've read the book and taken notes on it. I've added it to my watchlist and I'll get back to it in due time.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:44, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
DYK Problem
Hello! Your submission of The Trouble With Normal (book) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Gary King (talk) 17:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Re Sandcastles, or maybe just mud
Hey Gonzo! Yeah, just go ahead and copy/paste things from sandbox. The move function is really only for when you want to create a redirect, and when you move a page one is created automatically (as you correctly said). So, if you tried to move from a sandbox, you'd either get an error or a pretty messed up redirect. It's true that your history is gone when you copy/paste, but it's rare to get more than one contributor working together in a sandbox, so it's not really a big deal. By the way, many congrats on getting into DYK! You are plunging into WP fast and furious, and are thus my hero. Let me know if you want me to look over an article before it goes to FA/GA as a first-run edit. :) FlyingToaster 08:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Day of Reflection
hi there, appreciate the material is copied from the website largely, no issues with IP abound, but have not worked out how to sort this as yet, will carry on editing it, and hopefully will convince your good self of the validity of the content. it is relevant to the history of Northern ireland and will be making wiki teams in both North and South Ireland aware of the page.
Mny thanks, and your patience would be much appreciated —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anguslambkin (talk • contribs) 15:24, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi there: Thanks for your message. It looks like a topic about which we should have an article, but we can't accept copyrighted material under any circumstances. Material from other sources has to be available for use under the GFDL. For now, I've removed all the content replicated from the source website. You're free now to rebuild the article, with reference to the material on the other site - or if you can show it satisfies the GFDL, to restore it. Gonzonoir (talk) 15:33, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Will get on it, GFDL might be a bit of a stretch, but sure I can work around the copyright stuff.
many thanks for your help, and for adding the page on references, and see also —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anguslambkin (talk • contribs) 15:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- You're doing some good stuff over there - thanks. I saw you mentioned on the article talk page that you're finding references a bit confusing. Want any help with that? Gonzonoir (talk) 11:04, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
I think I am getting there on the references stuff, took the tutorial a bit late on, one might say, but many thanks, with any luck will get it ship shape and it can then be edited, rather than considered worthy of deletion. many thanks, and your input would of course be great on the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anguslambkin (talk • contribs) 12:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Great! In that case, just one tip: you should sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes ~~~~, to help readers keep track of who said what. Gonzonoir (talk) 14:20, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Please look at Harvey Milk
I have added discussion at Talk:Harvey Milk about the need for WP:SUMMARY style and refactoring. This speaks to Legacy of Harvey Milk and its AfD. I believe that your comment on AfD that the refactoring was done too hastily and too sloppily is correct. However, I have now cleaned up the child article, have included a relevant summary in the main article section (rather than just a link), and have created the talk page thread about details. I would value your participation in any parts of this. LotLE×talk 21:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, just to clarify, I am not the editor who did the initial split of the article; I simply noticed it had happened, and realized the basic virtue to the idea. LotLE×talk 21:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi LotLE - I've contributed to the RFC. I think your general approach is good, but in this particular case it looks like the article would be better off in one piece. You did great work on the child article, though, and thanks for getting in touch. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
