Thanks for trying to better the article, James, but it really was better the way
it was before.
Just to mention some banal mistakes: the MC12s raced in the italian gt championship in 2005 were 1 (one), RacingBOX is the team and this year (2006) they were 2 (two) - RacingBox and Scuderia Playteam. The reason why you see several entries in the classifications is that, as you might remeber, this is a GT car, hence driven by 2 or more drivers in the same race.
This said, the 2004 section is also wrong: the car competed in 2 races (Dubai, Zhuhai) and won the latter. The cars weren't by Vitaphone but instead were teamed by Maserati offical personnel, under the name of AF Corse.
To end this mess, the MC12Corsa doesn't use carbon-ceramic brakes but instead racing carbon brakes.
- a former Maserati engineer and actual race engineer of a winning MC12. -
You cannot ban an IP. Indeed, it was only a sneaky vandalism. I gave him 24 hours. More if he returns persisting on vadalism. -- Szvest13:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You've done a great job wikifying the WOMT articles. I should mention now, however that myself, User:Medleysoul, User:Mstroeck, and User:Charlie Huggard have been working on wikifying and doing a major overhaul of these articles for quite some time now and are almost finished. I was thinking that since we are almost done, if you were interested in helping us, it would save you some time. You can find our work here. If you have any questions, feel free to give a shout on my talk page. Thanks! Green45115:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, all you have to do is edit Charlie's sandbox, and when we're finished, we'll move the pages to their appropriate titles, e.g. World Oil Market Events of the xxxxs. Actually, there aren't too many things left to do. The only things, really, are to trim 2001 down to the relevant events and a few housekeeping things. Glad you're with us!

I appreciate that you merged the content from the Conker video game series, but cut-and-paste merges are not sufficient. To preserve the GFDL license requirements, please alert an admin, like me, so that he or she can perform a history of the two articles, which requires admin tools.

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.
Hello James086 how are you? I just want to thank you for the barnstar, I really appreciate it. Again, thanks! Take care -- Imoeng07:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi how are you James? Nice sig btw, :D. And also thanks for reviewing at WP:RFF. You see, you joined Wikipedia in June, while I joined a month later, so, do not hesitate to review some articles at RFF. We actually need more contributors to review the articles. So, please don't hold your horses! :P Cheers -- Imoeng17:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I didn't see your feedback on Religion in Indonesia. Thanks for it. Actually I have put the article at WP:PR and the reviewes turn out good as well. I will do what you said, as I think you are right, I still need to expand some points there. Cheers -- Imoeng17:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi James086, and thanks very much for your support during my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 64/0/0. I am grateful for the overwhelming support I received from the community, and hope I will continue to earn your trust as I expand my participation on Wikipedia. It goes without saying that if you ever need anything and I can help, please let me know. Wait, I guess it does go with saying. ; ) --cholmes75(chit chat)22:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My RfA passed with a tally of 71/1/0. Thank you very much for your support. I hope that my performance as an admin will not disappoint you. Please let me know if you see me doing anything inappropriate. -- Donald Albury03:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments on my talk page about the deletion of Ferret Love Page. I'm still learning the templates and how they function and which ones are appropriate at which time. I know how to "edit boldly", but nominating pages for deletion still gives me a bit of the willies. Even if the choice is obvious, I feel like a censor. I need to get over it though because I'm patrolling the Dead End Pages for pages like Ferret Love Page. Thanks again! --Pigman (talk • contribs) 20:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, James086, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, Martinp2314:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thanks again! ReyBrujo21:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing it out, when the edit summary link was added all of the answers to the questions were accidentally removed, I missed that bit when fixing the other lost info. Gnangarra10:07, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had a number of warnings and examples pop up of pages that I have changed, I am a bit perplexed as I havent visited those pages, let a lone changed them. I understand you are doing your job and as I have no intention of vandalising/changing anything, something strange is happening so it may be best to block changing priveleges from this ip.
Peter.
No problem James, I have no intention of editing, only using, so no need to make an account, seems that you have your work cut out with these idiots anyway. Keep it up.
Bah, I'll just get a bunch of sockpuppets and do it again. And again. And again! You can't stop me. Down with Wikipedia, and all that sort of thing. Oh, I can't even pretend to be more disruptive than that. *hides in corner* riana_dzasta13:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I know, eh. I think the funniest userpage vandalism I got was 2 barnstars from a guy who kept IP-jumping. Wish I got something like this once in a while. riana_dzasta14:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, OK. I just ignore everything else because I get overloaded. And I pick up on foul-mouthed AfD participants who love The Simpsons ;) riana_dzasta14:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the barnstar. In the last 8 hours or so I've been especially dealing with a "friend" who's attacking some of us for some issues related to an article he's upset about (he insists on having a link in the external links that no one else will allow). So his primary account was attacked, but he's been back at least 3 times on IPs now. What a night :) Thanks again for the barnstar. Metros23206:12, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page so quickly. A shame it was one of the less imaginative and interesting pieces of vandalism, though! Loganberry (Talk) 01:22, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added some links to assert notability for G. Bakthavathsalam. He won the Padma Shri, the fourth highest award an Indian can acheive and given by the government of India. The writer of the article is not G Bakht himself, but most probably his brother (if you want to know how I got that refer to the Afd) therefore WP:COI and WP:AUTO dont apply.BakamanBakatalk17:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I see you have updated your main user page, but you have omitted the archived vandalism...that was really funny to read. Can you put it back? Also, you've proclaimed your sexuality - why? Do you think anyone on Wiki needs/wants to know you're gay? Why not say something more interesting about your life - like what you do at school or something. You don't see other Wikipedians annoucing their sexual preferences...I think, if anything, it only attracts criticism/vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by K42 (talk • contribs)
hehe I see you reverted your page - I didn't realise that someone changed your words around...still it was pretty funny. Anyhoo - I still don't see why you need to highlight the issue of your sexuality - no one really gives a flying mcfuck what you do in your spare time. But please keep posting the vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by K42 (talk • contribs)
I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me at RFA, and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future. Cheers! -- nae'blis23:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah good point - I think that was the right thing to do. And also with the blankings - theres not much point reposting those. But the insult ones sure are funny! Some people really try hard!! K4206:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I had my doubts about a second RfA, but even I couldn't have predicted the way it caught fire and inexorably drifted to the ground in flames, causing quite a stir on its way down. Still, it was encouraging to see the level of support and confidence. Thank you for yours, and I hope I'll still have it the next time around. KafzielTalk13:42, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
First, I do try to read everyone's requests on their talk pages. Perhaps it is too late and my eyes are tired, or maybe my browser is rendering things incorrectly. Whatever the case, it's very hard to read the text at the top of this page. Second, can you enlighten me as to how use of images increases server load? I don't think I've heard that before. ... aa:talk09:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You're aware the the server doesn't send each image over and over again, that it rather sends each image twice? In the case of these svg images, they take up a little bit more because they are vectorized. 97k for the "-" image. If we were to make them jpegs, they would be substantially smaller. And again, only sent once. This comment is close to a thousand bytes. ... aa:talk09:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I do plan to go forward with it, I just haven't taken the time to actually build the project page, I've mostly been too busy building various sportscar pages. If you want to build the page that's fine by me, but I'm likely to do it soon anyway. The35910:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Since you created the entire Vitaphone Racing page, I figured you could fix it. But a suggestion: Vitaphone is merely a sponser of the racing team, similar to Red Bull Racing in F1. Therefore, Vitaphone's products don't really belong on the racing team's page. Yes, Vitaphone-racing.de lists Vitaphone's products, but Vitaphone's actual main website is Vitaphone.de. Therefore, if you want to create a webpage just for Vitaphone as a medical technology corporation (even though there is already a Vitaphone, which is about something different so you'd have to come up with another name), that'd probably be best, and leave the Vitaphone Racing team page just about racing.

Thanks for uploading Image:MC12 blue.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 13:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

An admin slapped down his sort-of sockpuppet accusation against me (and he started revert-warring WP:ANI of all pages), and after it was semi-protected and an admin closed his 'case' against me, he's been edit-warring my user page (as anon-IP).

Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!
