Happy New Year!

Dear friend, I hope you had a wonderful New Year's Eve, and that 2008 is your best year yet! ~ Riana ⁂ 02:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Riana, thanks so much! You too! Hopefully India make a better match of it in the second test. They seem to have had a good start, but Australia seem to be battling back. -- Flyguy649 04:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

:( Hogg just got out, but Symonds is on a century and Lee can pick up runs quick. Let's see :( Hopefully India'll have picked up their performance by the time they get to Adelaide, or I'm selling off my ticket :P ~ Riana ⁂ 06:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I get to "watch" most of my cricket by following the scoring on Cricinfo. I'd buy it off you, but if I won't pay the $15 a month to get the cricket specialty television station, I'm not likely to drop the $2800 for a flight to Adelaide! Let's see. India just took the new ball. If they can get another wicket or two before the close, India may be all right. Mind you, Australia ought to have at least 375 by the end of the day. And they still have decent bowlers. -- Flyguy649

OK

I will bear this in mind, all the best, Sacharin (talk) 08:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi & Happy New Year!

Hi Flyguy...

I have a need for several redirects to be deleted. This will make way for the renaming of these articles. All instances that need renaming are due to capitalization. The redirects that I'm requesting to be deleted are:

• Wireless LAN security
• Wireless broadband

And no rush really... Thanks! E_dog95' 09:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 Done And I moved the pages as well. -- Flyguy649 09:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Man alive! Thank you :D E_dog95' 09:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

How did you know when and where I posted?Matt Sanchez (talk) 09:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I first saw what you did while patrolling Special:Recentchanges. FOr your contributions, I looked at your contributions. I was trying to figure out where that page should have been. I didn't do too well on it! -- Flyguy649 09:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Bucknor

I understand that my comments about Bucknor may have had language that may have violated Misplaced Pages's neutral policy. But why was the reference to his supsension taken out? That was and remains a fact. Why should Bucknor's achievements be listed and not his gaffes and errors? Template:Unsinged2

It's how you put it in. Put it in the context of fact, not in relation to the current controversies over the Aus-India test. -- Flyguy649 21:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I never mentioned the current controversies over the Aus-India test. I had put it in that he was suspended due to his ineptitude in the WC 2007. You could have taken out my comments but left the statement and reference indicating that he was suspended for the Twenty20 World Cup in. Why was that reference taken out? I would hope that you will put back in the "fact" backed up by a reference to a newspaper article and that nobody really disputes (that the umpires did not know the laws and messed up in the WC finals; the ICC suspended them) now that the page is protected. Or are you showing your own pro-Bucknor bias?

As the article was written previously, there were glowing references making him seem like the best umpire ever or something like that. Why did you not find it suitable to edit the article then when it clearly showed someone's opinion and not facts? In fact, even now, the first line states "popular", which shows a positive opinion as opposed to a neutral one. Should I expect to see that word taken out to be replaced by "also known as"? Would you care to explain why you are against certain opinionated words and not others? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prasen9 (talk • contribs) 22:55, January 2, 2008

My apologies, I haven't been online in a while. I'll look at what you added and re-add it later on this evening. And I agree, neutral point of view does not mean that the subject should be presented only in glowing terms. In the mean time, you should make any additional suggestions for additions to the article at the article's talk page. -- Flyguy649 22:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much! -- Flyguy649 03:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Probable aircraft images source

I left this message on User:Rlandmann's talk page, but I didn't get an answer. I've been working with a flickr contributor who has agreed to license his very complete collection of drag racing photographs using Creative Commons ShareAlike Attribution so that Misplaced Pages can use them. I have just been marking those particular images that are helpful to Misplaced Pages. He then uploaded a series of Formula One images, which he agreed to license too. I had a Formula One expert mark and upload those images. Now he has uploaded a series of airplanes (including Air Force One from the 1970s), so I am contacting you to see if you or someone at WP:AIRCRAFT would be interested in this reviewing this group of photographs (the set). I need to start a dialog with the flickr contributor first. He has been very good to work with and is extremely happy that Misplaced Pages finds these images useful and good enough for a large well-known project. Are you interested in being that person to work with him to accomplish these uploads? Royalbroil 20:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for taking the initiative on this! I'm currently really busy in real life, so I'd rather not commit to something that should probably be taken care of fairly soon. You may wish to leave a note at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Aircraft. That would probably get an available person on board quickly! Cheers! -- Flyguy649 00:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Would you please recommend someone (or several people) who was been around Misplaced Pages for a while? I still have a bunch of drag racing images to mark yet, and I'd like to be able to say that the Misplaced Pages contributor was recommended. I would hate to lose trust by having a random person from WP:AIRCRAFT who might be new to Misplaced Pages (thus not fairly versed in image policy). I approached you because you're an admin and I've seen you around a bit. Royalbroil 06:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I think that I found someone to do the task, so you don't need to do any recommending. Thanks anyhow! Royalbroil 21:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Great stuff! -- Flyguy649 23:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Request to unblock former TOR exit nodes

Flyguy649, I checked the last 5000 blocks via Special:Ipblocklist (mostly out of curiosity), and found that
