| Hi, I noticed that you had redirected one or two South Park episodes to a season list, that were then returned to the main article page. I think the general idea is that while ] suggests we should merge when there's little to no loss of information, there is enough information to my mind on South Park episodes that it would jar a little to suddenly find yourself going to a season page while browsing articles. Just a thought while I was busy scrubbing uncited stuff from the articles. ] (]) 14:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC) | Hi, I noticed that you had redirected one or two South Park episodes to a season list, that were then returned to the main article page.

Messaging guidelines on this page:
Some simple and important things to remember before leaving me a message:
- I have decided to begin keeping discussions on their talkpages. In future, I will generally respond here, to messages I receive, but I will put up one of those blue banners that say you've replied, on the other party's talk page each time I reply.
- If you are a bot delivering me a message, then by all means do so.
- If you are a vandal delivering me a message, I will accept it, but I would prefer if you did not deliver it in the first place.
- If you are a disgruntled/opposing/envious-of-my-artiste/etc. editor delivering me a message, and trying to discourage me from Misplaced Pages, please consider this: What was that supposed to prove?
- If you are here for a chit-chat about things, please remember this isn't a chat forum.
- If you are here to notify me about something relating to Misplaced Pages, I presume it's important; please post it.
- If you are here to give me an award, give me a treat, give me a badge for something, or just tell me I'm great, that will be much appreciated. Thank you!
Welcome back
We haven't chatted yet on wiki, but welcome back Wilhelmina dear. For coming back at all, you deserve

RE : Ryan O'Reilly (wrestler)
I looked through, some sources are okay (Dojo, Post and Courier), others not as prominent (411mania). Accept in good faith recreation of the article based on the content and sources provided in sandbox. If you want the ultimate test of notability, nominate it for Did You Know? feature (word count is well above requirements); Should the article appear on the Main Page, you know that it is well above the bar. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 10:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Apologies, I wasn't aware of the current state of affairs. I might do the nomination myself. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 10:58, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

- 76.68 I suggest you submit the article to AfC in the usual way and wait for the response there. MSGJ (talk) 15:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- There's no need to bother with that. I've checked through all of those sources, and nothing has established any particular significance or importance on this person. Mess around with the guy in shades all you like - don't mess around with the girl in gloves! (talk) 00:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Re: Test Edits
Yeah, I guess was only assuming good faith.
My method of warning users is: first warning can assume it's a test edit if it isn't obvious vandalism—later test edits should be looked upon carefully—are they actual tests? (ie:does it seem genuine with playing around with new articles?)
For me, there is no real measure or way to draw a line regarding this, so all I can say to you folks is use your natural instinct. Logic is key to giving fair warnings before actually blocking the guy.
I hope that answers your question. ~ Troy (talk) 00:55, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:The-Joozians.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:The-Joozians.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:08, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Template
I created a template for you as I noticed you are using something frequently while reviewing AFC articles. Now you can just transclude it by typing {{User:Wilhelmina Will/Reviewing}}. Hope you like it - if not I will have it deleted. Best wishes, MSGJ (talk) 19:52, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Fish Articles
I reviewed your fish articles and responded on my talk page. They are a good start, and the common names you used seem right, but I did have a few suggestions.
On a possibly related issue, there has been some further action on that whole drama from a few weeks ago, and others now agree that things may have gotten a little out of hand. In this diff and the related thread, User:Carcharoth, who has more or less taken over for User:Fritzpoll, indicates a willingness to redress some of those issues. But it would be very helpful if you replied to him. The fact that you sent me the request that you did is evidence that you are willing to work on any genuine issues that may have been part of that drama, but if you would comment to Carcharoth acknowledging that it would probably be very beneficial. While not everyone is likely to support you (rarely does anyone or anything get 100% support) I think if you read that thread you will see reason for encouragement. I understand that it may be uncomfortable for you to deal with that (or even read this note for that matter) but if you are willing to deal with it a bit more in a constructive way it is likely (of course, as with anything in life, nothing is guaranteed) to be worth your while. In any case, I am glad you have hung in there despite the drama and are back contrinuting valuable new articles. Rlendog (talk) 03:15, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Asking Rlendog for that assistance is enough, in my mind, to ask the community to lift your DYK ban, and I have done so at the Administrator's Noticeboard, based on the good quality of your contributions since your Wikibreak, and this obvious evidence of some form of collaboration. This doesn't mean the ban is lifted yet, but it is customary to notify people of the discussions so that they have a chance to comment. I think you would seal the deal by commenting there, so here you are: Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Proposal_by_Fritzpoll:_rapid_straw_poll_needed_to_lift_ban. Best wishes, Fritzpoll (talk) 07:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
South Park redirects
Hi, I noticed that you had redirected one or two South Park episodes to a season list, that were then returned to the main article page. I think the general idea is that while WP:Episode suggests we should merge when there's little to no loss of information, there is enough information to my mind on South Park episodes that it would jar a little to suddenly find yourself going to a season page while browsing articles. Just a thought while I was busy scrubbing uncited stuff from the articles. Alastairward (talk) 14:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
It looks good at AN, I expect results within 24 hours.
The straw poll that Fritzpoll began at AN/I to suggest lifting the ban is snowing support, and it is quite unlikely that this will change. Your appearance there may or may not help, it's snowing without you. If you appear there and make some nice noises, it might help, and the risk of problems is low, but it's also not impossible that it will stir something up.
