Hello Rlevse. I wonder if you would care to comment on my DYK nomination, and whether the hook is appropriate or not, and if the article can be accepted if a different hook is used. There's also another thread here. Christopher Connor (talk) 02:44, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
You have good Instinto! Lionel (talk) 07:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I really appreciate your recent hard work at DYK. I was looking at Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2 you assembled, and found the article Sampi really well-written, interesting and unique, and I was wondering if you would mind if I replace the current lead hook with it. We've used archaic letters and symbols as lead images before, with usually good reponse (meaning high number of hits), and sometimes unorthodox choice of lead hook is good, in my opinion, for variety and fun. What would you say? --BorgQueen (talk) 08:14, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
BorgQueen and Rlevse, thank you both for your work with DYK. It is a great service to our reader and contributors. Without the help of users such as yourself this popular feature would not be possible. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 15:17, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi - I just opened an editor review, and I request you for some advice on how I can prepare myself for adminship. I will greatly appreciate your feedback :) Shiva (Visnu) 15:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
On 3 October 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Wat Pasantidhamma, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it 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 sent a letter to the copyright holder, he will sent me a clear statement and I will forward it to the permission at wikimedia. ThanksFarhikht (talk) 15:47, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
You seem like a pretty awesome wikipedian yourself. I really needed a pick me up, as I've had quite a lot of wiki-stress recently. Serendipodous 20:03, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
To make sure you don't miss it:

And I'd like to suggest that you word your recommendations in a way which seems less like you are making a threat. DS (talk) 20:23, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Since you are a checkuser, could you do a CU on 69.3.72.249 and User:Una Smith? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Obviously I don't think I am, and none of my fellow admins have raised any concerns over my actions. However, MickMacNee has proposed an interaction ban on myself at WP:ANI, and is further trying to prevent my discussing any problems about his editing with other editors.
Basically, he is trying to distract attention from his behaviour at AfD and elsewhere, including personal attacks on other editors by calling them "basic trolls". He is also rubbishing the result of the RFC he filed about me, probably because it did not produce the result he wanted. I'd really appreciate some advice as to what to do on this one. Mjroots (talk) 19:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Your hook choice seemed odd to me since it was such a long hook and the one mentioning Bradley would probably get a lot more hits.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Hiya Rlevse, I was wondering wouldn't it be better if one of the DYK Bots updated the hook counts say every 3 hours or do they already do that? Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 11:27am • 00:27, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Could you do me a favor and take care of this revision if the article itself hasn't been deleted? The author left his phone number in the first revision. –Grondemar 11:59, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I was distracted before I was able to enter a final hook for DYK prep 1. Can you verify that I made the moves correctly? Alansohn (talk) 19:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
You may regret encouraging me to start and nominate more short bios, which I enjoy doing, and some of which will be really bad. Thanks, :~) Aymatth2 (talk) 01:50, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse... I've been looking at wikipedia ribbons lately, and noticed there appears to be no ribbon to go with the "Awesome Wikipedian" userbox for use by those you have recognised for their contributions. So, I developed one, which I offer for your consideration. I based it on the FA star you included in the userbox, surrounded by a green circle (the colour your username uses) and stylised peace symbols (inspired by User:Rlevse/Today/Archive). The full-size ribbon is at File:Awesome Wikipedian Ribbon.PNG.
If you like it, you might like to create a template page for it and offer recipients the choice of a userbox or ribbon or both (or neither). Regards, EdChem (talk) 04:24, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Cool, I'm glad you like it. I did do a version without the peace signs, I wasn't sure which was better. I can upload it if you want to have a look. EdChem (talk) 12:07, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse. The error is fixed. Nowhere is the word "Austria" or "Austrian" mentioned in the article now. I think a delete recommendation is a bit harsh BTW. --Bermicourt (talk) 14:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Hey fella, maybe the reference wasn't clear... sitting at the end of another sentence, i moved it closer. Is this what you were referring to? If not please do elaborate, thanks for you time. Eli+ 17:35, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Girl Scout National Center West at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 19:26, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
I suppose I should've timed this message at 10:10:10 too, but frankly, I can't be arsed. You know how it is.
Did you know... that tenten in Japaense writing are a little wiggly thing, a bit like a quotation-mark, which makes e.g. "ka" (か) into "ga" (が) or "fu" (ふ) into "bu" (ぶ) ?
So, take time out to have a bit of a giggle.
All the best, and 10-10 'till we do it again. Chzz ► 08:49, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Rlevse. Thank you again for selecting Anatomy of an Epidemic. I am afraid that the chart and text didn't match and so I redid the chart and reworded the hook to:
I hope that's acceptable. If not it's fine to remove this one. -SusanLesch (talk) 09:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
How the hell are you, its been a long time. I am just just chugging along at the rate of 1 GA per 3 months or that is my capacity now. Kanatonian (talk) 14:30, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm glad that we could find a decent hook for the Tett turret. It looks good in Prep 1. Thanks again for your input and efforts in getting this article in. Alansohn (talk) 00:31, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
I hope I've clarified myself well enough. --BorgQueen (talk) 10:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse, am back earlier than expected from my RL-enforced wikibreak. Culd you help me undo the autoenforced break on my primary account? Thanks a bunch. StrPby (talk) 14:03, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Do you think User:A Radish for Boris is behaving sufficiently similarly to this person to merit an investigation? I note the LGBT and fictional topic deletion interest, but wonder if I'm too INVOLVED to call him a duck. Jclemens (talk) 17:00, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey Rlevse, in regard to this one, the article was kept. I don't know if you removed it because it was at AfD, but can we stick it back in the mix? Thanks, Drmies (talk) 20:02, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

...you should have one of these for your hard work at DYK. Thanks, on behalf of all those who see the DYK for... template with your name under it on their talk page. Drmies (talk) 22:09, 12 October 2010 (UTC) |
Thanks for declaring yesterday Acdixon day on Wikipedia. That's so cool! Unfortunately, I had to be out of town on business yesterday, so please accept my apologies for the late thanks. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 11:50, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
I tried to congratulate Yoninah on her day, please see what happens to the section (or line) following the ribbon. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:34, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
Could you help me understand how this comment relates to my request? Do you see my request as disruptive? Or are you simply commenting on comments by other editors there and not the amendment request itself? Thank you, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse. I was wondering if the new article, In Defense of Reason, would qualify for a DYK. I am having trouble finding a hook, though. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 20:43, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
I have started an RfC on inappropriate userboxes, i.e. those that don't follow the introductory paragraph at WP:UBX:
"A userbox (commonly abbreviated as UBX) is a small colored box ... designed to appear only on a Wikipedian's user page as a communicative notice about the user, in order to directly (or even indirectly) help Wikipedians collaborate more effectively on articles."
How does a userbox about a user's own preferences in regards to what topics on Wikipedia they hate and what type of sexually explicit material they like and actively view help Wikipedians collaborate with one another? Which is the question I am raising.
This introductory paragraph over at WP:UBX contradicts WP:NOTCENSORED so I'd like you to weigh in at WT:UBX, it'll only take 5 minutes of your time. I've sent this message because the topic has not had much community input

Hi Rlevse. I don't want to be hard on anyone nor to get involved with all this stuff, but I fear that ArbCom's lack of ability to keep faith in its own sanctions is the main cause of all these threads. A bunch of the EEMLers came without any basis to get sanctions reduced, and ArbCom gave in pretty easily. Now all of them feel entitled to get their sanctions overturned, while their opponents find it hard to swallow that they're having all these nationalism-driven fights with guys (actually, mainly Radeksz) who are supposed to be banned from the area. You may need nukes eventually, but you need to start off with the kind of firmness and immovable resolution that wins their respect. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 23:37, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
If you're concerned about the sequence of DYK photos, why don't you participate in the prep sets, queues, and WT:DYK instead of unilaterally changing the main page after a queue is moved there? I find that somewhat disruptive and unfair. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
