Please note: In order to keep conversations together, I will reply to you here and not on your talk page.
Vik, two weeks ago you turned me on to Wikicities. Well, I applied for a Wiki there and they accepted my idea. Over the past two weeks, I've been creating the structure, the help files, the policies and guidelines, uploading images, and making some articles to prove as templates.
Thanks for introducing me to Wikicities. It sure prevents a lot of headaches for me. Please come visit the site. Look around. And if you feel so inclined, edit. High-level and low-level edits are welcomed! Kingturtle 17:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
P.S. Let's go to a Giants game soon. (Kingturtle)

→Vik Reykja 07:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)Hi Vikreykja,
I just ran across your minor leage baseball team template while changing ((tl|baseball stub)) (which is on WP:SFD) to ((tl|baseball-stub)) in all articles that use it - the former redirects to the latter. Your template uses the non-standard form, and it would be nice if you could add the hyphen to your template. Also, I subst:ituted your template in on the two articles that still used the live template (Greensboro Grasshoppers and Elizabethton Twins), so that I could change the stub template without editing your userspace. If there is a serious reason for using transclusion in this case (I see none, but what do I know), you can revert them back once you change your template, of course. -- grm_wnr Esc 20:25, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I nominated W. Mark Felt as a WP:FAC. As you commented on the Deep Throat talk page, I'd appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. Mark Felt/archive1. PedanticallySpeaking 15:44, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
Sorry about that, occasionally my browser cuts things off, especially when they are long lists. I try to watch for this, but sometimes it escapes me. Thanks for fixing it. --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 23:29, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
Hiya. You've reverted the slacktivist link off the Left Behind page at least eight times now, and it's been de-reverted by a whole variety of people. You seem to have been careful to keep it to 3 reverts in 24 hours, but just barely - four in 25 hours on the 22nd of July. And that rule is really there as an indicator that you've gone way over the line, not as a legalistic thing where you're A-OK as long as you don't break the letter of the law. So maybe you could leave it to someone else to decide to revert that link off for a while, because it sure looks to me like you're basically the only one interested in doing so right now. (As I was composing this I note you reverted my last change but left in the slacktivist link - a good sign!) Cromis 02:58, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi Vikreykja. The page you made earlier, Chicago Cubs roster, was a duplicate of the already existing roster on Chicago Cubs, so I made the Chicago Cubs roster space a redirect to the main article. Fernando Rizo T/C 06:43, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
:-)
→Vik Reykja 07:10, 1 August 2005 (UTC)If you don't want a category for it, that's fine with me. I just think that having a category for it will be good and help people find the roster separate from the article. Categorizing the roster under "New York Yankees" shouldn't conflict with the article or category of New York Yankees.
I think that there should be some note of minor leagues on the extended roster section. Not everyone knows baseball, and some people may think that these players are active and playing for the New York Yankees. Or... we could not have the extended roster and only list the actual active players and DL to avoid confusion that way.
When it was just a section and not a "template," the team's roster had a sense of uniqueness (positions, like 2B and SP, included, no extended roster, no {player...} format), and other MLB team articles were not as thorough. People could edit the roster without trying to keep in line with the rosters of other MLB team articles, but I guess with all of the rosters in one place, there should be some degree of uniformity. =/ Win777 15:44, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
I hate to break up the indent-fest, but it looks like y'all are about indented-out. I think you are who I wanted to talk to regarding the templates. These templates all have the minor league affiliates of the MLB team. I posted a blurb on MLB Talk about this and was wondering what your opinion is.--CrazyTalk 07:00, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
I am working on minor league pages again....i got to the south atlantic league and the asheville tourists...i see your template is still being used there.....there is no place in your template to note that the stadium was renovated if it was an old stadium.....personally i have found the template very restrictive.

Tri-City Dust Devils contains a link to stuff in userspace. This will break on many Wikipedia mirrors, as they just show the main article space and dump the other stuff. Can I ask you to figure out a solution for this (I imagine putting the template in question into the template namespace is best, as mirrors have no excuse for not keeping that one too).

hi vik, just wanted to say hi, and thanks for turning me on to wikicities. i hope you have a happy new year. let's get together for some coffee again some time. cheers, Kingturtle 21:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Hello Vikreykja, Googie Man here and I want to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan on Wikipedian. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man(Talk), 14:01, 5 January 2006
I'm posting this message on you Talk Page either because you've contributed to the article Babe Ruth, or because you've edited other baseball or sports related articles. I've recently completed a revision of this article at Babe Ruth/rewrite. If you have the time, I'd appreciated it if you'd compare the articles and leave any feedback you might have on the rewrite discussion page. I'd like to reach a consensus before makeing major changes to the main article. Thanks for your help. --djrobgordon 20:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you were active many baseball pages on Wikipedia. My friends and are I starting a sports wiki that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news and opinion articles, as well as regular encyclopedic entries. Further, we have a statistics database that has statsitics for every baseball player since 1871. If you're interested, contact me and I'll give you the URL.

I saw on the fake book article that you were interested in creating fake books on WikiBooks. I had an idea for a WikiProject that I've described on my talk page. Within song articles it would list the chord progressions that make up the song. Let me know what you think about that.

please join the current discussion at Template talk:MLB. As a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball your opinion is particularly valued. Thanks. 66.167.139.143 08:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC).
I was doing some stub-sorting, and noticed your template for easily creating Minor League Baseball team stubs. I don't want to completely undo all of the work with the template, nor do I want to edit your template, so is it possible that you can change it to tag all of the articles with ((tl|baseball-team-stub)) instead of ((tl|baseball-stub))? We just added the new category, and I think you'll agree that it's a much more appropriate place to put the stubs.
Thanks in advance!

We now have an article on this topic Tarot (game)Smiloid 23:33, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
I have added a "((prod))" template to the article List of news clients, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Thanks for uploading Image:Brandy FullMoon.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:02, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Template:MLB Padres franchise 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>((tranclusionless))</noinclude>

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Captain Paf, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

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.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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.

The article Larry Krueger 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. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
