GA assessment
Hi. I will be assessing Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979). Thanks, C679 16:13, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- It would really help with the review if you wouldn't make changes to the article while I am in the middle of reviewing it. Thanks, C679 16:18, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- I appreciate that; I just realized there was absolutely nothing about the last two seasons. I'll save this current edit, and then leave it for you to process - yes, I'm aware there is nothing about the 2011-12 season in that edit :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:21, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- I have finished for now, I will be back online later, so please take into account the comments so far and leave me a message when you'd like me to continue my review. Thanks, C679 16:33, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- I have made more comments. I may not be online much before Monday. Thanks, C679 11:56, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- The last prose review is ready. C679 07:41, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- In case the review page is not on your watchlist, I have made what is hopefully the final part of my review. Thanks, C679 14:03, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979)
The article Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979) for comments about the article. Well done! C679 17:06, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979)
Hi, well done on getting this passed at GA. I have one comment regarding the international years in the infobox. Standard convention is that these represent the years of the first and last caps, rather than the years of the first and last call-ups. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 17:14, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- I can understand why that would be; I just believe this to be more correct. If you want to change it, go ahead - I won't war with you over it. :) Also, thanks on the congratulations, it's safe to say it was a hell of alot more work than I anticipated - serves me right for not checking the article properly prior to nomination! It was worth it though. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 17:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Misplaced Pages articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Misplaced Pages better — thanks for helping!

Request for clarification
Hello, Lukeno94. I wonder if you can help me by explaining what you mean by this edit summary. You may be right in saying that Li3939108 "know damn well why that is vandalism", but it is not obvious to me why it is. The source does, on the face of it, seem to support the substance of the edit. (I am relying on a couple of machine translations of the source, but the essential substance of the edit seems to be there.) JamesBWatson (talk) 20:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- It most definitely doesn't (note: I'm also using a machine translation). It supports the statement about her university place being fake. "Her thesis cannot be found in archives and generally students majoring in Chinese literature would do research on literature or linguistics, rather than societies." is OR at best (for the second half of it). "And her imprisonment was fabricated" is a very, very clear BLP violation. The source is only remotely reliable for the comments about her university place; for the rest of it, it is unreliable, and thus this is a BLP-violating edit. I've had my eye on the Ping Fu article for a while, and although this is not the worst I've seen, it's pretty standard of Chinese editors being canvassed into the crusade. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 20:25, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- I assume that by "the second half" of "Her thesis cannot be found in archives and generally students majoring in Chinese literature would do research on literature or linguistics, rather than societies", you mean the part "generally students majoring in Chinese literature would do research on literature or linguistics, rather than societies." This seems to me to be supported by a passage in the source which Bing translates as In addition, Jiangsu teachers ' College graduate theses are based on literature and Linguistics: a study, and does not involve "infanticide" this involved sociological content, and Google as In addition, Jiangsu Teachers College Department of Chinese literature and linguistics thesis are based on the research object, which does not involve "infanticide" This involves sociological content.
- "And her imprisonment was fabricated" seems to be directly supported by a passage whcih Bing renders as During the study period, 78 students that no one involved in criminal matters, the jail thing is nothing! Association of arrest is a pack of lies! and Google as In its enrolled during the 78 grade students did not involve any criminal event, which is put in prison the matter is non-existent! Its a matter of the arrest of associations is a pack of lies! JamesBWatson (talk) 20:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- You're probably right about #1, but #2, well, this source is totally unreliable for that particular bit of information, which is why this edit is a BLP violation. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 20:44, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Mazda 626/Capella
Nice, I hadn't gotten around to merging those but I am glad you did. Did you bring all references across, and how about infobox data (engines etc)? Thanks again, Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:14, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Phew, I went to town and added all the relevant data and some new stuff. The 626/Capella relationship gets very confusing from 1991 until 1997 at least, maybe the best thing would actually be to name the article "Mazda 626/Capella"? The GD generation sits rather awkwardly in this article since it was never sold with the Capella badge (to my knowledge), but rather as the Cronos/Enfini MS-6. Mr.choppers | ✎ 04:59, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't merge the infoboxes as it looked to me like they already matched. As to Capella/626 in the mid 1990s, it appears from a Google search that the Capella badge was still used in New Zealand, although if it was used anywhere else for the GE generation, I can't see it. Whilst I personally would be happy with a Capella/626 article, I would have to oppose it on MOS grounds and per WP:COMMONNAME. I also intend to merge the "Mazda Cronos" article into this at some point, as it's just a tweaked version of the GE Capella. I'm glad you've gone and tidied things up - it looks a lot better than when I merged things, although still not perfect! It's better to half one mediocre article than 3 half-arsed ones, at any rate. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:07, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Four half-arsed ones - there was also the Efini MS-6, which I already merged. The Cronos definitely should become merged. Lookin in a book of mine (Assembly: New Zealand Car Production 1921-98), the NZ-assembled cars were all called 626 or Ford Telstar. Since there is massive importation of used Japanese cars, you may simply have seen one of these. Mr.choppers | ✎ 18:05, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- It's entirely plausible; I only had a brief search. Good to see that you're working quite hard on this article, even if you have made some silly errors that I fixed :P Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:09, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Pierre Webó - Reply
Hi there LUKE, AL from Portugal here,
the "user" writes Fenerbahçe won the league when it DID NOT (champions were Galatasaray), and i was the one over the top, not the vandal? Fair enough...
regarding this team and its "fans", i think it was in Bruno Alves that someone added, in his HONOURS, "2013-14 Süper Lig" immediately after he joined Fenerbahçe. The season has not even started and he won the league, so i would not be surprised the same person had "contributed" in both Alves and Webó.
Back to Webó: yes it was the person's only edit, but because of that it cannot be deemed what it is, vandalism? Guess i still have a lot to learn in almost seven years of editing.
Attentively --AL (talk) 08:56, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed, i agree. But i have ZERO tolerance for vandalism, only "excuse" i can offer you. Cheers --AL (talk) 10:00, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Microsoft Office 365
I'm curious as to why you think that the removal of massive chunks of content without reasonable explanation - objected to by at least one other user besides myself, by the way - does not qualify as vandalism. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 16:21, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- It was reasonably explained. The user removed a whole bunch of promotional stuff, WP:UNDUE stuff, and poorly-sourced things. At least one user has informed you of what vandalism actually is; I'm beginning to wonder if the standard of your English is sufficient to edit here... Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- First of all, this user did not state two of the three reasons you mentioned, at least for that particular revert. Second, "marketing fluff" does not qualify as a "non-frivolous explanation" per WP:VANDAL.
- By the way: vandalism or not, do you actually agree with these edits - and if so, why? Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 16:30, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Evidently I do agree, since I reverted you... And my statement above shows what I think about the edits. Whether the user expressly made every single reason clear is irrelevant; what they said was enough, and you're the one making the bullshit vandalism claims, not them. If you're going to act like this, then please, don't return to my talkpage until you actually understand what irony is (a clue: you whining about "vandalism", which Viper never accused you of, at least, not in the article, yet you accuse him of being a vandal...) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:35, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- You didn't answer my question: do you agree with the edits in principle, that is, would you have reverted if I hadn't called them vandalism - and if so, why?
- Also, what does what the other user accused or didn't accuse me of have to do with this? Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 16:38, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- For fuck's sake. Yes, I agree with the other user's edits, and your edit summary makes fuck all of a difference. Now go away, since you seem completely incapable of reading anything I, or others, say. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:41, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Potential RFC/U
Considering that you did show concern regarding User:Baboon43's conduct at my inappropriately-filed ANI, I am contacting you per Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/User_conduct/Guidance#Qualification. Would you be willing to endorse the RFC/U? You can see a draft at my sandbox. If so, you have my consent to edit my sandbox as needed in order to add such an endorsement (only if you agree, no pressure). The obvious goal here is for him to reevaluate how he interacts with others. MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:43, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
- It may take a couple of days for me to have the time to do so - I'd need to evaluate all of his actions properly first. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:35, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
- Like I said, only if you're willing and able. It will likely take that much time (plus a wee bit longer) to get the thing ready. MezzoMezzo (talk) 08:48, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
- I'll look at it sometime towards the end of the week, and give my tuppence ha'penny worth. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:13, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

GAs
Hello, and well done. Fahey was pretty well ready before you got to him, apart from the lack of personal life stuff, but I'm surprised you got away with Doyle without having to do much content-wise on the broad coverage criterion. There's far more detail of his early days compared with more recent years: 17 games for Forest and Millwall gets two solid paragraphs, yet 16 games for Birmingham including Europe and playoffs in 11/12 gets less than a line. Keep up the good work. If ever you need a hand with finding refs or anything, please feel free to ask. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:42, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Query reply
Thank you for your prompt query. Regarding "WP:COI", I am consciously doing my best to follow the guidelines. If I deviate, it is not intentional. I will continue to respect and follow the Misplaced Pages guidelines on "COI". I am a brand new user/editor on Wiki, and I have a lot more to learn. Been at it for a few weeks. Regarding "removing the reference to the interview", again, not knowing all Wiki guidelines, I thought (perhaps incorrectly, correct me if I am wrong) that "caution" should be exercised on a Biography page when including and referencing the subject's religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or other personal information that can be used in a derogatory manner. You are totally correct, the After Ellen interview is reliable and there is nothing wrong with the information. I understand your reasoning and your point. I agree with you. Given the subject's view, Chamuel's view, I thought I was exercising "caution" in removing the reference. I can very well be wrong on this. I see your point. I appreciate your inquiry. I am doing my best to respect all contributors and to follow "WP:COI" guidelines. I know I have more to learn. Bammesk (talk) 19:18, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
- I applaud you for being cautious with a BLP, and that is exactly what you should be doing. However, if a source is reliable, and the information comes straight out of an interview, then it is definitely valid for inclusion in the article, and, although it could've been worded better, it wasn't presented in a negative manner. You don't have to fully answer this if you don't want to, but are you directly connected with the subject of the article in question, or are you just a fan? Thanks for your prompt response. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:22, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
- I am not directly connected with the subject of the article in question. I respect her / her efforts in shaping her path. I will do my best to follow, and learn, Misplaced Pages guidelines and contribute as best I can (in a positive way).Bammesk (talk) 19:45, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

- Regarding what you wrote previously, true, agreed, there is nothing wrong with the information / interview. I have no objections on its inclusion on the subject's wiki page. As you said "although it could've been worded better". Well said. I didn't / should've thought of that.Bammesk (talk) 20:02, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Second Avenue Subway
Hey Luke,
Just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edits of a couple of days ago at Second Avenue Subway. While most of the tweaks were quite good (and I intend to restore them), your use of the template:inflation template was directly counter to the template's own documentation, which specifically states It should not be used for large scale civil construction projects, such as the SAS, because they are not subject to the same consumer price index scales as ordinary daily purchases. Just wanted to make you aware of the issue so you don't make the same mistake again. oknazevad (talk) 01:22, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
- I did what I was told to do in the GA nomination. Also, undoing the edit was incredibly unconstructive; just remove the offending conversion bits, rather than wholesale blanking what I'd done. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 06:47, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
June 2013
Your recent editing history at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Anna Frodesiak shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Bbb23 (talk) 08:15, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Misplaced Pages articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Misplaced Pages better — thanks for helping!

WP:BLP
"Anyone born within the past 115 years is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death. Generally, this policy does not apply to material concerning people who are confirmed dead by reliable sources." There is no mention about BLP applying to people who died within the past 115 years. BLP stresses that it applies only to living persons (or persons who might reasonably be expected still to be alive). 75.208.176.27 (talk) 04:27, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- The same section goes on to say, "The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death - six months, one year, two years at the outside." I think this might be a recent clarification though? Previously I think it was wider, or at least, more ambiguous. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 06:24, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

EMDR
Hi Luke. Not looking to promote EMDR, but provide the correct information on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is an integrative psychotherapy and is clinically defined. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EMDRIntl (talk • contribs) 20:01, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- OK, it's good to hear that your intentions are sound. However, your username presents a problem; it doesn't comply with the username guidelines. I strongly suggest that you read this page, and consider changing it. :) You may also want to find an administrator, and discuss things with them.

Articles for deletion/Silverstone race results
I'd definately dispute a circuit with a comparitively brief history as Brooklands with relatively few international events, and Hockenheim and Imola whose international history is considerably shorter than Silverstone and were both considered second string to Nurburgring and Monza respectively and using the deaths of Clark and Senna as a claim of importance is not relevant at all. McLaren's death at Goodwood does not do a thing to the circuits importance as a race venue. Villeneuve's death at Zolder does not make it more important than fellow Belgian circuit Spa-Francorchamps. --Falcadore (talk) 08:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- Imola has a massive legacy - 1994 saw to that, and it's more than just Senna's death - Barrichello's accident, and Ratzenberger's, and the resulting safety improvements everywhere. Brooklands is where everything started, pretty much. Hockenheim is probably on par with Silverstone, in reality - lets remember that Brands Hatch was the major venue in this country for a while, or certainly level with Silverstone. I wouldn't argue that Zolder is more important than Spa - hence why I didn't list it. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:51, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- The legacy does not belong to Imola the circuit but to Senna, Ratzenberger and the 1994 race specifically, not to the Imola circuit itself. The safety improvement that occurred elsewhere around the world have notihng to do with Imola itself. Brooklands was where British motorsport started but British motorsport was not a significant player in the evolution of motor racing until after World War II. It's like saying the Indianapolis 500 had a huge influence on Formula One. They existed at the same time and some tech, drivers and crew travelled back and forth, but that was it. Or Brazil's football stadiums influenced UEFA. --Falcadore (talk) 12:02, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- Obviously you and I have a very different interpretation of what a legacy is. Brooklands was the first purpose-built racing circuit, hence why that has a major legacy. This discussion isn't really going anywhere other than in circles though, so I suggest we leave it. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:43, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Your edit at RFPP....
Sorry to have undone your edit, but I fail to see a personal attack, really (making a mess etc...)...and the response by the IP played a part in my decision, too, so I would prefer to leave it on the page. I can see that you disagree with the IP, but am with the other admin here who fails to see real vandalism (we may just not be knowledgeable enough). Simply disagreeing with each other is not trolling, either. Cheeres and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 08:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- In what way is "The only ones vandalizing the record tables are TwoNyce and his boyfriend Don Kings Hair" neither a personal attack or trolling? Accusing someone of being in a homosexual relationship in this style is clearly both, as the intent is pretty damn obvious, and, in fact, the comment shows the IP is WP:NOTHERE to build an encyclopedia, and the page should've been protected! Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 09:11, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I fail to see the problem with that: see http://en.wiktionary.org/boyfriend....so perhaps it was just intended as meaning "mate", who knows. I have foregone interpreting the words of others too much, here on wikipedia. We (the users) come from different cultures and continents, are of different age, so you never know. I just assume good faith, that is all. Lectonar (talk) 09:27, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- Assuming good faith is fine, but it's not a suicide pact, and there are times when a user is clearly acting in bad faith. This IP was clearly an example of a user acting in bad faith. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:15, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
Edit conflict
Did you get an edit conflict message for this? --NeilN 16:51, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- I think I did, but it didn't show up any changes - no idea what happened! Sorry about that. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
Mario Gotze
My edit to Gotze was removing an irrelevant tid-bit from his introduction. I've instead moved it into his Dortmund career section. Appreciate the concern. 173.74.7.196 (talk) 19:43, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- Initially, you'd nuked a load of information without explaining why, which is vandalism, hence the warning. However, thank you for acting in good faith, and relocating the information instead. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:53, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- My original edit constituted the removal a single sentence. Hardly "nuking a load of information." Assume good faith. I'll make sure to annotate my edits in the future. Thank you. 173.74.7.196 (talk) 20:11, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
MOS:DASH
Hello. Not sure how much of the Manual of Style you're aware of, but a relevant bit where football editors are concerned is MOS:DASH, which points out that we should be using endashes rather than hyphens in numeric ranges like football seasons and scorelines. The endash is the first and shorter of the two dashes in the Wiki markup box at the bottom of the edit window, the one immediately after where it says "Insert:" in bold type. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:57, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
- I am aware of it; I just never remember to use it! D'oh. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:59, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
Darren Freeman
Looks like we've had an EC, but I've updated the article some more. Thanks for your help. GiantSnowman 19:32, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, I listed him as a player-manager as he clearly played some games last season. No idea whether that is still valid or not, but it certainly isn't implausible. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:39, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- The Soccerbase stats for Glenavon are almost certainly incomplete, see this - I doubt someone "took the Irish League by storm" with 2 appearances! GiantSnowman 19:42, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- Fair enough :) Ironically, there's another Darren Freeman whom plies his trade in the Irish leagues, playing for Newry City! Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- Yep, and he scored against Glenavon as well! GiantSnowman 20:02, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- That's how I found him. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 20:04, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
You mentioned my username violates guidelines
Hi Luke, you mentioned in Ami Adini deletion discussion that my username violates wiki guidelines, if that is the case do let me know how and I'll fix it but please I believe we can be polite even between British and Italians. You are correct I have only worked on 2 articles so far due to time and being fairly new to Misplaced Pages, although I have quite a few more I will make time to write or work on. Mggpublishing (talk) 22:10, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
- Firstly, thanks for taking my comment in good faith. If you read Misplaced Pages:Username policy, you can see that your username falls foul of this part of the policy: "Usernames that unambiguously consist of a name of a company, group, institution or product." I recommend you go to Misplaced Pages:Changing username to change it to something else - something that isn't a company. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:46, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you Luke, although mggpublishing is not a company that I know of, it’s a username I’ve used on the web often when I write articles, MGG being my initials and publishing is the action I’m doing when publishing an article. I’ve added a note on my userpage that explains that but I’ll check into it to see if it’s still a problem. Mggpublishing (talk) 09:54, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
DYK for Zytek Z11SN
On 8 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Zytek Z11SN, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Zytek Z11SN won the LMP2 class of the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Zytek Z11SN. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I noticed you participated in the Deadmau5/Deadmaus RM and I was wondering if you were willing to leave your two cents here at Talk:Tech Nine#Requested move 2 to overturn another horrible move based on a name no reliable sources refer to the subject as. I am just trying to get consensus to move it back to Tech N9ne in the same manner Deadmau5 was moved back per WP:COMMONNAME. If you have the chance I would appreciate it.
