On the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/We Came To Take Your Jobs Away, you added your opinion as "Keep all per argument below." However, there is no argument below and I'm wondering if you intended to add this comment to this particular page or to another one. Regards, User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
I've responded to all your observations at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sumatran Rhinoceros. Left explanations on a few points as well. Please let me know if there are other weaknesses in the article that you would like me to address. Thanks again for the helpful review! --JayHenry (talk) 00:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Good idea. :) In fact I finished the code and pushed it live earlier today, I'll update the bots user page now. Also, I had a bug so that bot wasn't running, it should be now. BJTalk 08:40, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I think these may be the same thing, but the descriptions are somewhat unclear (they are both very short). I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone is familiar with 17th century dances and can advise on if they should be merged, or if not, how they can be better distinguished.

Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because of the holidays and all the off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, and have a great new year, --Elonka 05:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
I know, reading that talk page makes me sad every time I think about it. I found the incident by reading User:Rspeer. I've never worked with Rspeer on articles, but when I see him comment on discussions, I find him to be one of the smartest Wikipedians out there. The thoughts on his user page are absolutely correct, in my opinion. I definitely agree it should be required reading for WP:UAA. --JayHenry (talk) 03:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Please explain what you mean by "invalid PROD". COAT BoLP articles are most certainly PRODable. None of the changes address the COAT concerns. Maury (talk) 22:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh hey, I didn't realize who had prodded this until after I removed the ((prod)) and added some sources: Da Yellow Bus Rydah. It's borderline. The album does seem to have gotten some coverage, and is on a major label, but it looks like it's status is up in the air. So it possibly fails WP:CRYSTAL because even with the sources I don't think we can say it's "almost certain to occur." The video for "Ghost Ride It" is pretty hilarious, but that's not a reason to keep either :) Anyways, if you want to take this one to AFD and see what people think I'd have no problem with that. --JayHenry (talk) 02:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I've reverted some vandalism by Nake-Blade only to have it come right back. Do I send him the warnings or is this supposed to come from an administrator? Thanks.Originalname37 (talk) 15:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Diana Burrell, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add ((db-author))
to the top of Diana Burrell. SingCal (talk) 02:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Template:Original script requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>((transclusionless))</noinclude>).
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 04:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Rigadoun, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!).

Hi Rigadoun - I was taking a look at the WP:MEA comparison projects from other languages, and saw you do a lot of work there. I'd just like to say that, as you go about your work here, if and when you come across popular music topics, particularly anything that has been previously deleted and which exists in multiple other languages, I'd love to hear about it; I put a lot of work into restoring these types of articles when I can find them. Thanks, and appreciate all the hard work. Chubbles (talk) 03:25, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I wonder whether you have time to look in at Wikipedia:Featured_sound_candidates/When_Johnny_Comes_Marching_Home. It's a matter of balancing what I see as a poor musical performance with any historical value the recording has (yet to be justified by the nominators). The criteria are here. TONY (talk) 03:17, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Aeropostale.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 Wikipedia 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, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
This might not mean much to you, but when I was a new editor about a year ago, you welcomed me to Wikipedia. I don't know what made me feel espcially nostalgic today, but I just wanted to stop by and say "thank you" for your extra work in "welcoming" a new user. I'm an admin now, and I've tried my best to be welcoming to new users and fair to those that come to me for help as an admin. Again, thank you for doing what you do, and I hope you are having a good day as a Wikipedian. Let me know if you ever anything, Keeper ǀ 76 01:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Rigadoun! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 943 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the ((unreferencedBLP)) tag. Here is the list:

Hello administrator Rigadoun. Thank you for all your help here at Wikipedia.
You created the category Category:Lists of radio episodes [2] back in 2009 and it currently has 2 entries. I have found a similar category created in 2007 titled Category:Lists of radio series episodes [3] that has 24 entries. I was thinking these 2 categories could be merged.
I looked around at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/All current discussions and read the rules at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion (a.k.a. CFD process).
I am not expert enough to feel comfortable going through the CFD process so I asked for help at the Help desk (see request for help). - Rollbacker Robert Skyhawk suggested I be BOLD and just merge the 2 categories without going through the CFD process. I may do that as a last resort, but I wanted to ask you for help first.
I am looking to you for expert help. Would you be willing to review the 2 categories and merge them if necessary? If not, would you help me with whatever the next steps should be? Thanks for your help. - Hydroxonium (talk) 07:18, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
Do you still need help with the Chinese biographical dictionary on Wikisource? I took a look, but I don't really understand what to do or how to access the original scans. Thanks!--Danaman5 (talk) 14:04, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
The article Habib Yammine has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the ((prod blp)) tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hi. As you may see above, I proposed that a couple of language templates should be deleted, but the decision was to keep them. However there did seem to be a consensus that some rewording was desirable so as to stress that the original script to be added should be based on WP:RS, rather than perhaps just on re-transliteration. Similar comments would apply to template:Arabic, template:Cyrillic and template:Chinese script. I'm ready to do that rewording, but as you created the templates you might prefer to do it yourself, so I'll wait at least until I see that you've resumed editing.

Dear Rigadoun,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.9.34.167 (talk) 20:53, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Mario Paci, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Conductor, Italian and Sino-Japanese War (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
