Heads up edit
Hey, congrats on your new DYK. Those good people on the DYK have been very kind to me: I got three Did You Know? notices over a four-day period (May 30-June 2). What have you been up to on Wikipedia? Ecoleetage (talk) 12:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I got my second DYK today -- making it four in four days! I need a drink (vodka tonic - Stoli - not so much ice, too). The GA on that article didn't fly, and I am not pursuing it at the moment. I have a full plate, online and offline, so I will return there when I have a moment. I appreciate your kind words on my writing here -- and I'll be on the lookout for more of your fine work! Ecoleetage (talk) 18:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Marie Powers edit
Hey, thanks for your copy editing on my new article about Marie Powers. Hope all is well with you! Ecoleetage (talk) 01:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, the usual stuff: creating new articles, trying to improve upon existing ones (like 1984 (opera)), doing AfD activities (non-admin closures, nominating articles, voting on articles). Also trying to use Wikipedia to improve my English (I am not a native speaker). Oh, did you ever look at my John Stewart Socha article? He is a Minnesota guy. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 02:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- John Stewart Socha should be in the WikiProject Minnesota section - I put that template in his article's Talk Page. Yes, I was born in Mozambique to Portuguese parents and raised in Portugal. I actually learned English the worst way, when I was living in Malta -- they have a peculiar mix of their language and the British style of English. Many people have no clue where I am from when they actually hear my voice, because I have three different accents hitting them at once. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- No, I divide my residence among several locations. My user name is based on the name I gave myself, Eco Lee Tage. Where does your user name come from? Ecoleetage (talk) 02:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)-

Reflist edit
Hello I noticed this edit from June 6 on Pennsylvania Military Museum and was wondering is there a reason that one is preferred over the other? The museum was my first article and I haven't been very active until lately, when I have worked on one topic area. I have actually used the template since discovering it (I read Wikipedia pages more than I edit - at least before the last few days) but I was just wondering if you knew the benefit of it over the references/. --Aujourd'hui, maman est morte (talk) 03:32, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The Mad Adventures of Eco Lee Tage edit
Hey there, thanks for the kind note!
Me: Well, the DYK folks have been very kind to me lately, too, and I am very grateful that they consider my contributions to be worthy of their praise. I've been writing articles on a variety of topics, and I have a to-do list to add more goodies to the site.
I've also been active in the Welcoming Committee, as I am eager to see that new editors receive a positive and inclusive first message. I am also doing work in the AfD section (nominating articles, offering input for consensus, doing non-admin closures) and I am reviewing new pages for approval (which I prefer) or pegging them for speedy deletion (which is sad -- why would anyone want to create something that will be erased within minutes?). I also try to help out people where and when I can, and I offer as much encouragement and praise to the other editors here, too.
I should congratulate you on your GA honour -- I am so happy to hear about that.
Thanks for thinking of me! I hope the day is good for you! Ecoleetage (talk) 12:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

RE:WP Jordan Assessment edit
Yes, I recently created the "latter" template you were talking about. I just based it on the {{WikiProject Palestine}} template. I'm not very good at this kind of thing. Could you tell me the exact problem with the temp I created. I'm just trying to jumpstart this WikiProject. --Al Ameer son (talk) 15:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ohhhhh, well that's not a problem at all actually. The statistics are updated by a bot every 4-5 days. So, no it wont' appear immediately, but it will appear. If it does not do so in 4-5 days, then we have a problem. Cheers and thanks for joining! --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

DYK edit
C-0:
I notice that some of my DYKs such as Mango House, Municipality of Salt, and Al-Mufti House are credited to you in your talk archives. Why is this? Will they count towards you? Because the notification thingy says "...which you started or significantly expanded..." I'm actually the one who started/expanded them, so that's why I was wondering... ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 03:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Do not remove DYKz edit
No, you don't need to remove the DYK thingies from your page. Did you get the DYK medal for nominating lots of articles or for expanding them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldud (talk • contribs) 10:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey there edit
Hey there, just wanted to see how life was (mis)treating you. Hope all is well. Ecoleetage (talk) 04:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hi again. What am I up to? Online: writing articles, doing the usual Wiki-wacky stuff (a lot of AfD stuff -- this one is a new favourite [1], and feel free to chime in). Offline, did some travel (caught the Euro 2008 soccer matches, caught a stomach bug, caught a plane to San Francisco, caught a sinus infection) and assorted home repairs. Good to hear from you -- and I will check out that typing monkey site (looks like fun). Ecoleetage (talk) 13:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- PS Have you ever thought of becoming a Wikipedia administrator? I think you would be excellent in that capacity. Ecoleetage (talk) 13:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hi again. Of course, being an admin, you also get to help keep articles that are being threatened with extinction. Eh, give it some thought -- you would be a good man for the job. In any event, I am glad to see you around. Stay well and stay in touch. Ecoleetage (talk) 20:10, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

New Minnesota article edit
Hey there! I just put up a new Minnesota article (a stub, really) and linked it to WikiProject Minnesota; you may want to mark it off for the WikiProject. Check it out: Central Boiler. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 18:50, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yup, I wanted to keep it stubby -- it is a rewrite of a piece that got deleted for being too spammy. For the time being, I want to keep it as a stub -- strictly business, no product promo. Not much here to report, outside of a couple of sinus infections. Hope all is well with you. Ecoleetage (talk) 14:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Leona Lewis on The X Factor - nominated for deletion (again) edit

Jabal Amman assessment rating. edit
Bobamnertiopsis: Since I know that you have been part of WikiProject Jordan as well as part of evaluating the Jordan-related articles, I was wondering about the abysmal rating for the "importance" of the Jabal Amman article. Someone ranked it as "mid-level" importance, when I believe it should be highest level of importance. Jabal Amman, possibly more than any neighborhood in Amman, represents Jordan's deep cultural heritage and for this reason I believe that it should be up-rated. Since you have been involved in accessing these articles, I was wondering if you could possibly change the rating. The rating is available in the Jabal Amman talk page. Thanks....ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 14:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

New library articles edit
I've created a few new articles about libraries in the Minneapolis Public Library system that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places:
Since you've worked on some of these library articles in the past, I thought I'd let you know, in case you had any ideas for expansion or revision or whatever. I'm not sure if the title "Branch Library" has been replaced by "Community Library" now, so I just used the National Register names for Linden Hills and Walker. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 21:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Do either of you know if Walker Branch Library is a Carnegie Library? It sure looks like it to me.--Appraiser (talk) 21:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't see anything in my sources about it being a Carnegie library. The only donation I saw was the land donated by T. B. Walker. I'm not sure if there's really much of an architectural distinction between Carnegie and non-Carnegie libraries of the period, to be honest. I suppose if I really wanted to check if it were a Carnegie library, I'd watch the closing credits and see if it says: "Funding for the Walker Library is made possible by the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, and viewers like you." (Oops, that's PBS.) --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Ship ahoy! edit
Hey, pal, how goes it? What is new/different/exciting? Me: after my RfA fizzled, I rebounded with being elected a coordinator at WikiProject Films.

Azraq edit
OK, so 15,000 characters, huh? That's a lot, but I'm sure it's possible. It might require a lot of stuff about the history, and stuff like that. I have a few more "poster" sources I could use, but that wouldn't add a lot of stuff. What else? Well, we could do something about RSCN's efforts to save it...I'll think about it, but 15,000 sounds pretty big. Also, don't they take into account that the previous version had no refs, and therefore any of those 3000 words could have been unverifiable? ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 04:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
But I don't understand what those books could do for us if we didn't have them. It's not like we can read them online, right? Or can we...? What do you think of my "poster" refs? I know the referencing style is clumsy, but at least it's verifiable. At this point, I really don't think it could make dyk. ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 03:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Lipid droplet edit
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

InsideNorthside - A North Minneapolis Encyclopedia edit
Hi, I noticed you've edited some articles related to North Minneapolis and I wanted to tell you about a project I'm involved in called InsideNorthside. It's basically a wikipedia for North Minneapolis, built on wikispaces (which is a bit more user-friendly then mediawiki, though not nearly as robust). Anyways, wanted you to know.
