I think I bump into you the most when I see you in my watchlist having edited pages I created. Thanks again and enjoy the weather!!! CargoKusertalk22:01, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Right.. okay! Serious stuff now: What other stuff is there to do in the fields of Irish radio and tv? I have emailed many of the RTÉ radio programmes looking for dates of first broadcasts. So for The Tubridy Show (I made that one), have got back to me on their first show. CargoKusertalk22:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, good luck for continued success on wikicup. If you need collaboration help, or any other assistance (on a GA perhaps), feel free to leave me a message. On shorter stuff like ITNs and DYKs, I can't always guarantee immediate assistance (I'm taking some morning classes this summer). Anyway, happy editing, SpencerT♦Nominate!01:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
I know. I enjoyed being a bot for a few hours! Now onwards and upwards. I have programmes' pages to create! Away I go to the RTÉ website and more............... CargoKusertalk19:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
I am honoured! I'd like to thank every one on Wikipedia and you for GIVING ME MY FIRST BARNSTAR! Thanks, CargoKusertalk19:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
I was creating his page here, but Safari crashed. Lost everything. Going to start again tomorrow. Too tired now. I am only going to fix simple stuff here. CargoKusertalk20:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
What can I answer that hasn't already been said at the MfD? It's pretty obvious from the perspective of the people who are interfacing with archives. DurovaCharge!00:36, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, here's the basics. For those of us who work with historic images, access is a crucial issue. Even if an image is public domain, an archive that owns a hard copy has no obligation to make it available to the public. So they need reasons to release material. Some of them are getting the idea that's good to do. Right now Flickr and WMF are competing to become the main point of image release. Flickr has interface advantages. One of the biggest advantages we've got is POTD. And the page traffic that goes with it. VP is sucking the life out of that advantage. And it isn't obvious to anyone who's actually negotiating with these archives, why VP even needs to exist. It looks like a parasitic pet project that's doing real harm. Not deliberately, but harmful all the same. DurovaCharge!02:20, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Maybe VP wasn't set up for that purpose deliberately, but it has no safeguards against it. And the need for a VP program was never clearly defined or broadly supported. Media content doesn't need to ape text content processes. The challenges we face are different. And if process gets in the way of content (and it has) then it's bureaucracy and needs to go. DurovaCharge!03:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
That's shifted significantly in the last few months since VP got started, and it's shifted against established FP criteria and norms. And one of the principal recruiting grounds for VP has been active FPCs. Not waiting for the nom to even close. Comments at two recent FP delisting noms even explicitly stated an intent to clean out existing FPs of high EV and reroute them to VP. And since VP gets very little other activity, one FP regular even characterized high EV FP delistings as the 'saving grace' of VP, which serves little other purpose and does negligible good. If you need a diff for that I can get it. It's very worrisome. DurovaCharge!03:31, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
There is no way. It's a slippery slope. There's no safeguard against that abuse, and I raised the concern as early as January. It does actual harm. Significant and long term harm. It's process-wonking of the very worst variety. DurovaCharge!03:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
On 7 June, 2009, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article Shanghai Pride, which you created. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the In the news candidates page.
I don't think so, since it wasn't a valid info from the beginning (no way your fault, of course). I may change my mind if you kindly expand the articles... :-D --BorgQueen (talk) 14:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I award you the The Barnstar of Good Humor for being a particularly light-spirited Wikipedian who, by his unshakably good humor, consistently and reliably lighten the mood, defuse conflicts, and make the Wikipedia a generally better place to be. Thanks, CargoKusertalk16:49, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
You have put great humour on my talk page. Also on the ITN/C page, I was laughing for literally for ages on this:
To do with Mexico nursery:
From an IP
Someone was struck by lightning in San Diego a few days ago. That Europe has one parliment for all of Europe is news to me.
Yourself
What, 68.164.237.202, might I ask does Europe have to do with Mexico? Please consult an atlas quickly. Did the person in San Diego multiply into several dozen burnt bodies?

Given your good-natured and humourous posts on Talk:Main Page, I thought you might be interested in participating in this request for adminship...? Even if not, you'd probably enjoy reading it! I !voted to oppose, but there's nothing to stop you supporting, remaining neutral, or even !voting several times ;-) You might even fancy asking - or even answering - questions to the "candidate"!
I saw that too. Spooky. Maybe the two original posters stole it. I was suspicious when your one said 'my friend that recently died'. ????? CargoKusertalk23:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
I see a fellow member of the welcoming committee attended to him with a welcome template. I never give templates to users who only contributed on talk pages. I know Wiki staff have access to IP address of every user. Maybe they can provide info to the French. It's the Pink Panther all over again!! --CargoKusertalk23:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Lets nominate someone (not me), to ask the user up front. The user probaby is never going to return though. (it is hard to post messages on an iPod touch.) --CargoKusertalk23:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Hurrah! The nudey ladies conversation has been preserved for the good of the wikipedia community by such decisive action!Willski72 (talk) 17:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Though it is a sad day indeed for the main page when a piece of substantial philosophical, political and social work such as that we engineered, along with others such as Lord Michael, is cruely deleted while still in its prime (under a month).Willski72 (talk) 17:40, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Wow, what a big start to Round 3! We already have people past the 50 point mark, in one week. We can tell that this round is going to be tight, and we'll likely see every Top 8 contestant with over 500 (maybe 400) points by the end of this round. Keep working hard! – weburiedoursecretsinthegarden, iMatthew : Chat , and TheHelpfulOne

Turns out last week's newsletter was never sent out. Sorry about that! Since we already had it done, we are sending you both. This newsletter is the one for this week though. Anyway, we're seeing you guys working really hard. There are a few of you over 100 points in the first two weeks. Also, we have switched Ottava Rima from Pool D to Pool B, and Shoemaker's Holiday (who has withdrawn) from Pool B to Pool D. Scorpion0422 is more than likely to withdraw before this round ends, because he will be inactive next round. That would leave 2 contestants in Pool B. So, to make things fairly even, we have switched the two contestants. Sorry for all of the confusion!
Finally, we know it's very early, but you can already sign up for the 2010 WikiCup, here! We want to get everything ready way in advance for next year. So we opened the list up, and we'll start working things out in September/October, most likely. Information is all on the page, and you may leave any questions on the talk page. So go sign up before your favorite flag is taken! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden, iMatthew : Chat , and TheHelpfulOne

Hey! I was wondering if you wanted to bring up some of the ITNs you've (and/or I've) created up to GA status. Some, like Operation Seabight for example, wouldn't need as much work to get there. If you're up for the offer, leave a note on my talk, and which article you'd like to begin with (I think Operation Seabight would be the easiest after a quick look-through). Happy editing, SpencerT♦Nominate!02:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I think you are adminworthy. You have been here three years. The subjects you cover in Wikipedia could be enhanced by becoming admin. You have 25,199 edits or something... Think about it. By the way, do you think Conversations with Eamon Dunphy should be created, with Miriam Meets merged with it? Cargoking talk 11:12, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that you were an active editor in ITN, so I thought I should inform you of a potential candidate for the news on the front page,2009 Algerian military ambush. It was a major event and I feel it should be placed on the front page. I've added the infobox,categories and pretty much anything and everything I could think of.
