Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on AbendZeitung (Munich), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because AbendZeitung (Munich) provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting AbendZeitung (Munich), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Please read the career section. In addition to being a rough translation, most of the sentences actually make little sense; for instance, The first time the Berlin Theatertreffen was invited Nicolas Stemann 2002 with his production of Hamlet, which he has elaborated. is not grammatical English and doesn't really mean anything even as it stands. This would be a lot easier if you would mark the articles you have machine-translated and then list them at WP:PNT in the editing section. If I knew enough German to retranslate these articles, I would have. -Yupik (talk) 20:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Milk - yes, I know about Edit Summaries - I use them most of the time. Check my contributions.
I am working through Ontario-related articles and adding a lot of missing project tags. In the interest of covering ground and increasing volume, I am not adding Edit Summaries to each and every one.
Thanks for the visit. PKT (talk) 01:35, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Whoa, whoa, hang on there... my assessments? I thought they were the WikiProject's. :) Well, I have to say you've done an amazing job on them so far. jj137(talk)02:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I use Twinkle, an edit counter, a script that shows a live feed of new pages in the left panel, two scripts that each will easily close AFDs/MFDs, one that helps voting for AFDs, a stub tag tab, a purge tab, and several I've written to help out at RFPP, set up archiving, and a copyediting script. jj137(talk)23:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
For your tireless efforts in assessing hundreds of Boston Red Sox-related articles, I award you the tireless contributor barnstar. jj137(talk)00:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
You're going to have to fix some kind of template error. As a side note, since you know exactly which articles you assessed, could you go to WP:BOSOX/A and remove the completed ones (or at least some)? jj137(talk)00:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure there's some reason it's not there (I think because we're not allowed to use the game cover on the Main Page because of its licensing). jj137(talk)01:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
By the way, if you try to contact me soon, I'm watching the All-Star Weekend Coverage (first are the out of basketball stars), and I'll be on Wikipedia during commercial breaks, so expect a responce later. Basketball110vandalise me01:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
No, only the Rookie Challenge and Celebrity Contest (T.O. won). Tommorow: Haier Shooting Stars, PlayStation Skills Challenge, 3 pt. Shootout, and Dunk Contest. On Sunday: NBA All-Star Game. LeBron James and the East take on Allen Iverson and the West. If I sound like a commercial, tell me. Basketball110vandalise me05:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Clicking show or hide won't do anything. There's something about the formatting of your talk page which interacts with my thank you box to screw up for the formatting of everything under. Therefore, because I'm not the kind of person who wants to screwed up the formatting of somebody's talk page, you get your thank you note on a special page: User:Doczilla/RfAThanksSpecial. I hope you like it. I certainly appreciated your involvement in my RFA. Best, DoczillaRAWR!06:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! As one of my userboxes says, "This user has frequently given barnstars, yet has never received one." Thank you very much! Basketball110vandalise me22:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey. Regarding your speedy deletion request of this re-direct, I was working on creating players' articles from Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim all-time roster. On that list, the link was "MLB outfielder". Because I made the assumption that there might've been another article with that same red link (I now see there is at John Morris, the disambiguation page) I re-directed "MLB outfielder" to John Morris (outfielder) which I then created shortly thereafter.
I removed the speedy deletion request upon being alerted that it was requested some twenty-five minutes later, which I hope wasn't a problem. Sorry for any problems this caused. Ksy92003(talk)00:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Bizarre.. yeah, when I made the redirect, I was thinking to myself 'I hope I can create the article before somebody sees the re-direct' and apparently, you won that race. It's weird though that the bot notified me about it about twenty-five minutes after I created the re-direct and about twenty minutes after creating the main article. I was hoping that I could remove the SD request before anybody else could see it so nobody would think 'Man, Milk's Favorite Cookie is stupid for trying to speedy delete a perfectly valid re-direct'. Oh well, no harm.. no foul. Ksy92003(talk)01:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
When I heard about that back in 2004, I didn't like it at all. But now that I look back, I actually like the name. I mean it was a huge chance for the team to get publicity after just being swept by the eventual-World Champion Boston Red Sox. I mean when people think "Anaheim" they think of Disneyland and cartoon-ish Disney characters. When you think "Anaheim" it's not a "threatening" city name when you think about the other things associated with Anaheim (like the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim's cartoonish logo at the time. Heck, now when I think of Anaheim, I don't think of the Angels or the Ducks.. I think of Gwen Stefani which can't be a good thing.
Anyway, I live on the same street as Disneyland, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and Honda Center (about 15 miles away, although) so I have very easy accessability to those places. As for the name change, I love the "LAAoA" name even more because of what Long Beach's Golden Baseball League team, the Long Beach Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America Including Barrow, Alaska. When the Armada made their name change, I realized how silly a name it is but that made it fun. I go to Armada games and I chant "Let's go, Armada of Los Angeles of California of the United States of North America and Barrow, Alaska!!" It's just fun to make fun of the names, and I actually like the name changes. I mean it gives you something to joke about just for fun. Ksy92003(talk)01:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey, if we don't play the Yankees in the postseason, then we're screwed. Since we won the World Series in 2002, against the Red Sox and White Sox, we're 1-10. So I'm praying for a great season for the Yankees (and that the Red Sox choke with Schilling out hurt. Ksy92003(talk)01:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
No. Under C1, it has to be empty for four days, and I wouldn't delete it anyway because there will eventually be more in that category. jj137(talk)23:46, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Oreo in milk yay!.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Oreo in milk yay!.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. BetacommandBot (talk) 03:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Soccer team logo12.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Soccer team logo12.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
Your 'number of edits' userboxes show that you have made over 14,000 edits when in fact you have only just gone over 13,000. Please correct. Thank you. — Etalk07:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I can has thankspam?
Quick, let's delete the front page!
No seriously, thanks for contributing at my RfA which ended 68/0/0. I'm amazed and humbled by the result, and the warm and supportive comments that went with it. I've put the pic of Tiger here because although I know not everyone appreciates lolcats, to me it illustrates the possibility of taking things seriously with a light heart. I will try to do so, and remain open to the being slapped down if I do start being impossibly pompous.
Thanks Pedro : Chat for your generous nomination, and also to Master of Puppets for ripping off his thankspam without so much as a by-your-leave. To all who contributed - especially the eventually withdrawn (but very interesting) neutral and oppose - thank you! Now it's off to new admin school for me, before I dare do anything for real...
I deleted that image. I think he means you should explain what parts of AWB you will use to fix typos. As in, are you going to use AWB's RegexTypoFixer with some find and replaces added? jj137(talk)19:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
It's extremely good. I emailed Gurch a week or two ago, but didn't get a reply for about a week, so I emailed someone else about it and they sent it to me. I'll forward you the email. jj137(talk)19:33, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
That's good. If possible, you should try to use the IRC recent changes feed over Special:Recentchanges feed (just saying, it's a little faster). jj137(talk)20:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
If you want, you could upload a screenshot/modified screenshot of what it looks like and I can delete it when I'm done. That may help. jj137(talk)20:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know, mine doesn't do that. You may need to work around with the settings. Also, on your huggle.css page, you may want to disable some of the admin options that are automatically enabled. jj137(talk)21:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
No, but I probably will in a minute. I think Huggle is so fast, when two people are both using Huggle at the same time, it's almost like a contest to see who can revert it faster. ;) (at least, that's what it has seemed like from my experience with it) jj137(talk)21:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey - how about not reverting every change? Just a thought... I was going to edit the Conjugate Gradient article but every little thing got reverted right as I was doing it. This is very counter productive. Unless your 13 year editors can fill out articles like this then please let users work on it. You can check in the next day and see if you want to revert the article then. This has been a very sour experience and I doubt I'll contribute monetarily or scientifically again. I heard google actually wants experts on their Knol site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.160.213 (talk) 22:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Please try to be a bit more careful with your AIV reports. You have recently added a number of reports for IPs that have not edited since their final warnings, and for some reason you have often warned them twice after their final edit. The number of incorrect reports you are adding is very distracting from reports that actually need action. TigerShark (talk) 23:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I see. Can you stop using it to report for the time being, as it really is problematic to get to the reports that need action? Cheers TigerShark (talk) 23:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
