[change] Indented tables

I cleaned up the indented tables causing your user page to display improperly. I also tweaked the userbox section to use wiki tables and a couple minor formating issues. -- Creol(talk) 12:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] WikiProjects

Hello again. As you can see from my contributions ubx, I've been pretty active here this last 18 hours, reverting vandalism, creating articles, etc. I was wondering if I could start a WikiProject here. If I can, may I have a page that shows you about wikiprojects (if such page exists :P). Thanks, Eagle. -- RyanCross (talk) 19:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

It's been started. Feel free to join, but it's still in construction. -- RyanCross (talk) 19:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

You can create the ubx. I'll see how it looks when its done. -- RyanCross (talk) 21:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Look good. Thanks, RyanCross (talk) 21:47, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering if there was a list of baseball players here. That could be useful for my wikiproject. --RyanCross (talk) 22:47, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, now this might be one of the longest lists ever created. I'll go ahead and start adding to it. -- RyanCross (talk) 22:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Moving pages

I'm guessing that users can't move pages. Can only admins move pages or can autoconfirmed users move pages? --RyanCross (talk) 23:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't have the tab yet since I'm not an autoconfirmed user yet. In 3 days I should have in there. Thanks anyway. ;) -- RyanCross (talk) 23:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I've replied to your email. Cheers, Razor flame 02:39, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] RE: Review

I have done so and added another question for you to answer.-- † Christian Man 16 04:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Editor review

Do you think you can review me? Thanks, RyanCross (talk) 04:48, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Done -- America ^†alk 05:02, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure. It says for me to do so anyway on Wikipedia:Editor review. -- RyanCross (talk) 05:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Done -- RyanCross (talk) 05:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Baseball uniform

Hey! I noticed you were online. I was wondering if you would like to help me get baseball uniform to WP:GA status. Can you help? Oh, by the way, I redesigned my user page. The other one was too boring. -- RyanCross (talk) 00:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

The problem is right now with the article is that there are many red links. I'm currently creating those as stubs. Sure, I'll let you look over and copyedit the article. And thanks for saying my user page looks good. -- RyanCross (talk) 00:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I wasn't really planning to nominate it now. I just needed some help with it. I'll be busy with something right now. Thanks, RyanCross (talk) 01:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. :D -- RyanCross (talk) 03:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I just put in my thoughts and help into the article to help get it to GA status as quickly as possible. I wrote on the article's talk page what I think still needs to be done before it can gain GA status. Cheers, Razor flame 03:53, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, yes I go to bed. A six-eight hour nap is good enough for me. Let's just say I'm very dedicated to this project. -- RyanCross (talk) 06:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Yup, but probably not as active as today. But I should have at least 750 quality edits by the end of tomorrow on my third day here. ;) Good night. :D -- RyanCross (talk) 06:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it me. :P I was offline for most of the day though. I should be active again now. -- RyanCross (talk) 02:09, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Re:

I missed church today...our car broke down.-- † Christian Man 16 03:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I spent my day watching Star Wars episodes V and VI.-- † Christian Man 16 03:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually "broke down" stretches the truth...The automatic sliding door broke and we only have about 40 miles left on the warranty to get it fixed and needed every mile of that to get the vehicle to the dealership to get it fixed. So we were "grounded" at home for the day.-- † Christian Man 16 03:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I love the Star Wars films...especially Episode III!!! :D -- † Christian Man 16 03:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

So, we still edit in between messages.-- † Christian Man 16 03:37, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Most of my knowledge of wrestling and Star Wars are thanks to Wikis (Wikipedia and Wookiepedia respectively).-- † Christian Man 16 03:45, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Thanks for the Barnstar and Welcome.

If you're interested at all in the game articles, I created a Video game WikiProject, and we could use users who could make more articles and improve the existing ones. - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:49, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Our copyediting and wikifying

Hehe, look at recent changes. :D -- RyanCross (talk) 19:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I think that's all. Oh, I caught on when I found out you were wikifying/copyediting all of User:Beefball's articles. ;) -- RyanCross (talk) 20:03, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Um, yeah, I;m still here. That's what being active means. I've been active since my first day, no, hour here, right? Regards, RyanCross (talk) 01:51, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I've noticed. I'm just copyediting today. I do a lot of that. -- RyanCross (talk) 02:02, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that two. ;) RyanCross (talk) 02:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. Oh, by the way, this is my 999 edit. What do you think I should spend my 1000 edit on? :P I know it's a bit silly... but still. -- RyanCross (talk) 06:07, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Yup. I decided to create that as my 1000th edit. ;) Good night. I'll probably see you tomorrow. Best, RyanCross (talk) 06:39, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Redirects

Why are you creating redirects to O RLY? named Jonathan the Snowy Owl, Fark owl, Orly owl? They do not seem to have any connection. You are also creating too many redirects to one article. Chenzw Talk 02:11, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I, too, think that you are going a bit overboard on the redirects. Cheers, Razor flame 02:12, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

This is unlike him. Could it be compromised? Chenzw Talk 02:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Nah, he's done it before. Cheers, Razor flame 02:14, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Replied here. Thanks -- America ^†alk 02:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] That was tiring...

Ack, yeah... when I was watching simple wikipedia today, three vandals started vandalizing out of nowhere. No admins or registered users were online so I had to clean up all of their edits, reverting all their bad edits, warning them (I reported one at WP:AIV) and tagging nonsense creations. Just look at the beginning of today's recent changes. It's a good thing they stopped. The worst vandal was blocked a few hours later by User:Gwib. He finished the cleaning up by deleting the nonsense articles and blocking the vandal. That was a relief. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 07:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] my rFa

Thank you for your recent support in my RFA which closed successfully with 26 supports and a lone oppose. I hope to serve the community to the best of my ability. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Thanks for the cookies

I've never gotten a virtual plate of cookies before - it was a rather pleasant surprise! Thanks! Staeiou (talk) 01:23, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Welcomes

Hey there. I was wondering where you could find welcome templates that you can use to welcome new users. I've been using {{Welcome}} and I would like to use different ones. Thanks, Ryan†Cross (talk) 04:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

You know that list of MLB players? Well, don't you think it will get really long? Wikipedia-en doesn't have one. What do you think? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 06:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

But when we have thousands of players, what will happen? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 06:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Evolution..

Hello, I am in the process of "re-vamping" Evolution so that it can still be a very good article. I invite yxou to contribute what oyu think can be done. In the revampled article I created a section called Responses to the idea of evolution. It links to Social responses to the idea of evolution as a main article. When the first ideas of evolution began to be discussed (afaik Lamarckism) there were of course people who did not like it; ever since, people have talked about it.

I would be glad if you could do a proofreading/copyediting

All the best --Eptalon (talk) 15:17, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Editing

Ohai. Gwib an me filled recent changes with our copyediting and wikifying today. Just skim through Special:RecentChanges and our contributions. Oh, and I saw the message above this one, and I'm also helping the cause. You could be of help. Cheers, RyanCross (talk) 00:13, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

No, not really the for "edit counts". Razorflame just didn't wikify his article creations completely. Cheers, RyanCross (talk) 00:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Certain words should be linked to be properly wikified and that word wasn't linked in a lot of his articles. Cheers. RyanCross (talk) 00:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Re: 5,000 :)

Congrats on the 5,000th edit :)

Congratulations: You have been given a Barnstar!

Mr. 5000 :) Razor flame 00:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Template:BD

When using {{BD}}, it should be placed at the end of the categories, not the beginning as the dates categories are the least important. -- Creol(talk) 05:18, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Birds

American Eagle, I have just reverted your changes. The word "like" was used correctly in every single instance where you changed it. I suppose you did it to avoid confusion with the use of the word as a verb to indicate a positive feeling eg "I like icecream".

The word "like" is correctly use as a conjunction, forming a " simile" (saying that two things are similar). Many of your changes made absolute nonsense of the sense, or else resulted in a statement which was simply false!

"Though birds are warm-blooded creatures such as mammals, they do not give birth to live babies." Nonsense!

This is one of your changes which has resulted in a ridiculous inaccuracy. Birds are not warm-blooded creatures such as mammals. This makes mammals a sub-category of Birds! Birds are warm-blooded creatures like mammals.

let me say once again that this use of the word "like" is a simple, old, correct English use. If you have mmade similar changes to other web pages, then please revert them, because it is creating chaos.

I don't think I made it clear in the message on the star, but your the first to receive this barnstar.-- † Christian Man 16 05:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Great Users

Wow, just noticed I am in your list of Great Users. Im so proud! :D ← κεηηε∂γ ^(talk) 08:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, I was wondering if I could steal your code for your userpage? See User:Kennedy/Sandbox for what I mean. I will change it about, remove the userboxes etc, so its not exactly the same as yours. If thats okay? ← κεηηε∂γ ^(talk) 09:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Thanks

Sorry if I was beastly. Thank you for your generous response! Amandajm (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Charles

Hey American Eagle - I see you've put Mr Spurgeon up for VGA. I'd like to help. First thing is that since it's about a British subject you should use British English, not American English - so less z's and more s's. But I'll do a thorough review and hope to help you get the article promoted. All the best! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

[change] Email

I've sent you several emails that I need your help on. Cheers, Razor flame 23:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
