Dreamy § 01:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Barnstars The Minor Barnstar For adding a helpful list to Thomaston class dock landing ship, I, Sharkface217 00:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC), hereby award you this barnstar. --Sharkface217 00:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC) The Minor Barnstar For your contributions to the page on Agnes Merlet, I give you this barnstar. Good job! --Sharkface217 00:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC) The Original Barnstar For adding much-needed references to Dov Feigin, I, Sharkface217 00:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC), hereby award you this barnstar. --Sharkface217 00:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Comment In the future, please leave a message at WP:AWC before taking on a project from there. Thanks! --Sharkface217 00:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Barnstars The Minor Barnstar For adding references to Holocaust (sacrifice), I award you this barnstar. --Sharkface217 01:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC) The Minor Barnstar For your edits to the page on the William King Regional Arts Center, I hereby award you this barnstar. --Sharkface217 01:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Quality of edits Many of your edits to these articles seem to be superfluous and could be accomplished in one step. Counting simple copyediting, using multiple edits for adding a references section, etc., these edits should be combined into one page change. While you are doing a good job so far on the references, I ask that you add more info to articles that you work on for WP:AWC. For example, TicketMan has done a ton of work on articles I have given him barnstars for through WP:AWC. I ask that the quality of your work be close to his when taking on future AWC challenges. --Sharkface217 01:42, 19 January 2008 (UTC) I look forward to your increased efforts. Also, I cannot award you for those 100 warns because the anti-vandalism challenge that I offered at AWC specifically states that you had to sign up there first. This rule was put into place to prevent barnstars from being awarded on vandal warns that were issued before a user became aware of the challenge. Sorry, dude. --Sharkface217 02:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Good luck with it. I'm sure you'd be able to rack up the warns pretty quickly. --Sharkface217 02:08, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Article You could work on Battle of Gondar, and for it, I will award barnstars for the same number of edits. Dreamy § 03:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, I will accept that too. Dreamy § 03:12, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Vandal I blocked the vandal for three days.   jj137 ♠ 17:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC) It keeps giving me a failure notice for some reason. I don't think it would have mattered anyway because you should have the attachments from the download.   jj137 ♠ 17:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for the barnstar! I enjoy this kind of work a lot! -- Bellwether BC 18:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Message bar Really?

Good job! --Sharkface217 20:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC) The Original Barnstar For adding much-needed references to Liliana Lovell, I, Sharkface217, hereby award you this barnstar.

Thanks!! Fattyjwoods (Push my button) 01:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC) User:Jj137/editsummary.js I just found out you can leave this template through the warn tab in Twinkle, so the script is redundant.   jj137 ♠ 03:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Oops, thought I replied to that. I think it could go either way, the user (Gangsta?) still has it on his userpage, and I've seen plenty of others that still have it. Whatever you want.   jj137 ♠ 03:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)  Done   jj137 ♠ 03:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Image copyright problem with Image:Black hole quasar NASA.jpg Image Copyright problem Thank you for uploading Image:Black hole quasar NASA.jpg.

STBotI (talk) 03:27, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Barnstar The Original Barnstar For the awesome work on Timeline, I award you this barnstar. --Sharkface217 05:12, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Re:Barnstar Thanks a lot. Just wondering, what page is that with the references? :)   jj137 ♠ 17:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Oh, I meant on the actual barnstar :)   jj137 ♠ 18:17, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Aah, I should have known.   jj137 ♠ 18:26, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Looks good. Is it your first featured content?   jj137 ♠ 18:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Barnstar The Original Barnstar For your work on Ron Paul, I hereby award you this barnstar. --Sharkface217 19:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Bevin Alexander You might want to fix the image you added to the article, as it seems to have no use-rational and there are some typos. The Original Barnstar For adding a much needed source and a high illustrative picture to Bevin Alexander, I, Sharkface217, hereby award you this barnstar. --Sharkface217 19:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC) But good job anyway. --Sharkface217 19:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Image Wow. I'd support it.   jj137 ♠ 19:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC) WTF does that guy's oppose reasons mean? (Don't usually participate in FPC, but still...)   jj137 ♠ 20:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC) I know. I left a message on his talk page asking him about it.   jj137 ♠ 20:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC) My RfA Hey there, I'm writing to inform you that I have withdrawn my request for adminship, which was currently standing at 11 supports, 22 opposes and 6 neutrals. This count could have been so much better if I had understood policy, although I believe that 17 questions is a lot to ask of a user's first RfA. I will take on all comments given at the RfA and will endeavour to meet the high expectations of the RfA voters. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDENplay it cool. 20:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Barnstar Thank you so much! That just made my day a lot better! --HPJoker Leave me a message 21:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Pats won! Woo hoo! I'm going for the Packers. I'd like to see 18-0 vs. Brett Favre Yes, some of the nominations were going well, and then they went rather disastrous.   jj137 ♠ 00:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Here's what WP:FPC says: For promotion, if an image is listed here for about seven days with four or more opinions in support (including the nominator), and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list. Note however that anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis.   jj137 ♠ 00:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC) I supported that picture. It may help to eventually re-upload some of those without the little "numbers" at the bottom. :)   jj137 ♠ 00:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Ugh, I didn't think of that. :(   jj137 ♠ 00:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC) One word: Commercials.   jj137 ♠ 00:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Image copyright problem with Image:Clay Anderson spacewalkedit1.jpg Image Copyright problem Thank you for uploading Image:Clay Anderson spacewalkedit1.jpg.

I know! I deleted an article they created that was obviously spam. You're right, great game! I really want the Packers to win this.   jj137 ♠ 02:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC) ...Which is the reason I want the Packers to win. (And because of Brett Favre)   jj137 ♠ 02:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Still the Pats. You?   jj137 ♠ 02:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Still tie game with about 6½ minutes left...   jj137 ♠ 02:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC) OH GREAT!   jj137 ♠ 02:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Images Image 1 might be very similar to an actual FP; I remember voting on another picture that I think passed that had Enterprise on the back of a Boeing. Image 2 has some focus issues; it probably wouldn't pass Image 3 is decent, I personally think it's encyclopedic value outweighs its minor blur Image 4 is technically messy due to the lighting. Nobody can tell what the object is because it's just a streak of light in the sky. Hope I was helpful. --Sharkface217 03:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC) I suggest you try to get Image 3 through FPC. I do not know if images on commons that are FPs can be here, but I assume that it is possible. --Sharkface217 02:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC) Stick it in articles relating to the big building in the background (name slips my mind at this moment, sadly) and the article for the planes in the foreground. Maybe even the Kennedy Space Center Article. --02:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharkface217 (talk • contribs) Will do. --Sharkface217 02:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC) DYK! On 21 January, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Victoriatown, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. Majorly (talk) 15:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Re:Super Bowl You're right, it will probably be Week 17 all over again. I think the Pats will win, but it may be close.   jj137 ♠ 15:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC) It does seem a long time away... only six days. Probably doesn't seem so long for all of the people spending $2.5 million for 30 seconds. :)   jj137 ♠ 15:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Oops, yes, it is. :)   jj137 ♠ 16:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC) That's always fun to watch. I obviously go for the AFC.   jj137 ♠ 16:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC) New pages I just PRODDED all of the articles.   jj137 ♠ 17:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Re:Heuschrecke 10 It has GA-Class, so it is getting peer reviewed. Dreamy § 22:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Today's (Yesterday's) Featured Article No. Most have pictures, but occasionally they won't.   jj137 ♠ 02:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC) Yes. I saw the images at top; you have a lot of barnstars, 2 GAs, and a DYK. Nice job. :)   jj137 ♠ 02:19, 22 January 2008 (UTC) There you go, I placed it in a subpage, User talk:Ohmpandya/Top. It was the first "title" I thought of, so feel free to change it.   jj137 ♠ 02:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC) I assume you participate in WP:AWC? :)   jj137 ♠ 02:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC) (I already tried Show Preview on this) You may have a certain ordering for them, but if you don't, I suggest switching the order and placing it first on the left, and about 22px. That at least makes it more visible.   jj137 ♠ 02:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC) That looks great. You can use {{Infobox Book}} for any novel.   jj137 ♠ 02:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC) I don't know if that's a good idea. You can use bits and pieces, but it should at least be different enough that they are clearly two different articles.   jj137 ♠ 03:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC) "Red Sox Wikipedia" Wow. See also [1], it is a Red Sox wiki on Wikia, except for the fact I started it and barely ever edit there.   jj137 03:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks, I was trying something new. :)   jj137 03:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, it did look very tiny in Firefox.   jj137 03:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC) I think you could raise it to Start-Class.   jj137 03:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC) Just go to WP:GAN (if that's what you mean).   jj137 03:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC) It should say on the talk page.   jj137 03:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC) No problem.   jj137 03:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC) DYK nominations Curious, but why did you re-nominate Victoriatown for DYK? It was already featured on the Main Page yesterday. Also, I removed your nomination of John Maclean, Jr.. I already self-nominated that article just minutes after I created it.

I used to do articles much more often, but then I went to a dark place that only had dial-up and became to much of a challenge. :P, I hope to do some more (at least naval articles) soon again, as soon as I can find some material that other than DANFS stuff.
