- Shame, Skype slows me down too much when I'm on IRC you know that! KOS | talk 12:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Are you trying to give me a "guilt trip" so to speak, to try and get me on Skype? :P "I ain't leaving it for half an hour. I guess I'll talk to you another day" KOS | talk 12:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Delete old image versions
editI don't know if this is what's encouraged, but are you able to delete the old versions of this image: [1]? I submitted the image myself and the old versions are just wasting space. I'd appreciate it.--Daveswagon 21:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

edit...I kinda stole it :) Hope you don't mind! — FireFox (talk) 14:23, 11 August '06
Your seconding
editThanks, it was realy nice to see that! I've gone into semi-retirement, because I might come back later, but it's all too weird now. It's a pity our paths have never crossed before, because I've seen you around and you always seem like a really good editor. Anyway, thanks so much for your message!

Re: Oi
editOi, oi, oi! (It's fun to say that!) :D Thanks for the note; I've been watching you too I've seen you doing things too (the other one sounded too evil) and let's just say they aren't all mistakes. ;) —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|♪-) 14:38, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
You deserve something...
editI've heard a lot about you and have seen you do some great work around the 'pedia, so I figure you deserve a little something. Keep up the good work on Wikipedia and Esperanza! --Pilotguy (roger that) 01:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Aww, well, sorry to hear that. I have my contact info posted on my user page if you need anything. --Pilotguy (roger that) 03:06, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Absolutely all archived (alliteration!)
editSomehow archiving is rather satisfying... :) You should be all set! -- Natalya 18:34, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm... awesome albino alligators also assisted archiving... (I'll stop, for fear of it going on :D ) -- Natalya 13:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Daniel, how've you been? Would you say it's time to give Soum a poke or two? ;) Sango123 03:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Nudge given. :) Glad to hear you're doing well; I'm just trying to spend as much time here as possible before school starts. :P Cheers, Sango123 14:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hey Banes, are you still up for more admin coaching (i.e. receiving a new trainee), or do you want a break? Petros471 09:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
EH?
editWhat's up? :( Petros471 16:38, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, remember where that mop is, if there ever comes a day where you decide to pick it back up again. :) -- Natalya 21:12, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Are you feeling OK? Was the conscious urge to do admin tasks weigh on you? Did you get desysopped in a technical sense or just going dormant? Take care, Blnguyen | rant-line 01:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC).
- Know that if you lie dormant for too long, the Wiki will suffer dramatically. —$ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (-¢|ε|Ŀ|T|♪-) 02:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

editHmm...your sig looks vaguely familiar. ;) How are you doing? I've been doing relatively well...and yeah, looking forward to the SAT in October (not, heh).
What's up with the mop? :( Real life pretty busy, eh? --ViolinGirl♪ 17:17, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

editHi Banes. I realised that we haven't crossed paths in awhile, and I thought that I'd take the short stroll to your page and just leave you a message. I saw that you put away the mop for now, which suprised me, but if you feel good to be without it for now, then welcome back to the club for us normal editors ;) I'm also sorry to see you're so busy. That's a real bummer, and wikipedia will miss you not being around so much. However, I hope that maybe you can get some R&R in between being busy. You certainly deserve some ;)
Anyway, I hope all is well with you otherwise, and I look forward to the day when you came back to full time editing. Good luck, and take care. Thε Halo Θ 11:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yo, dude! Good luck with the Irish dancing championships! oh, and those exams, but those aren't as important, right? ;) Seriously though, really good luck with both. I have my fingers crossed :) Thε Halo Θ 10:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Banes, I don't know when you will be reading this, but my sister does Irish Dancing too. I don't know very much about it, but I know that it does take a lot of work and dedication. Good luck, I hope you do well!--Chili14 01:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Birthday
editThanks for the birthday wishes, Banes! It's really nice to hear from you again; how've you been? School's keeping me busy now and I'm a bit nervous for a piano recital tomorrow, but overall, things have been quite good. :) Cheers, Sango123 23:12, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

The lead article of the Project recently lost its FA status, and now some of the other articles are being reviewed. Citations and references within articles are again the major concern. Contributors who have literature (books, magazines, links, etc.) are especially needed to provide the necessary citations. It is not enough for editors to know the facts; they need to be backed up by other sources. All help, both within the articles and the discussion, would be appreciated.
If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 007 – November 2006). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing! Come back, Kingboyk! The children miss you!

Again, the issue of the month is inline citations. A Day in the Life, A Hard Day's Night (song), and Get Back have all been defeatured, as they failed to satisfy criterion 1(c) of What is a featured article?, and other song FAs are due for the chopping block. Inline citations are an important aspect of articles—they ensure verifiability and reliability, and they remove original research. Additionally, they give readers the option to read the original source material and view it within context. Basically:
|
Wherever possible, editors should help to trim down on list-like prose within Beatles articles. They should convert list-like sections into fluent, cohesive prose which ties an article's sections together. Lists make articles disjointed, awkward, and difficult to read. Be sure to take part in the Featured Article drive, and don't forget those inline citations! If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!

2 things
editHello Banes, how are you? I hope you are well
- I was wondering if you noticed that Sango has not been with us since October 1, and has not replied to any emails sent by multiple parties
- Is the Indian cricket team coming to your city on the current tour. I wonder if you could catch them at training and get some photos. Unfortunately, the spectators on the subcontinent are not allowed anywhere near the players. I went to the Adelaide Oval and got some photos of the English team, and will me uploading them soon. :)
Regards, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:21, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, that's a shame then. When I came in yesterday I asked a security guard if the public were allowed in and he just nodded and smiled. There weren't even any security checks or anything and we were allowed to come as close to the players as wanted...It almost seems a joke. It's difficult trying to take photos through the netting though....and since the viewing area is behind the batsmen, we can only get pictures of the bowlers in their delivery stride.
