Hello. Rambo.

Have you went and looked at the List of US Open Men's Singles Champions, and seen if you are going to support it. I am fine with no name change to the article as long as everything stays the sames as right now...ThanksBLUE_DOG^TN 00:15, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Request

Can you change the unicode "2" in Template:Pop density km2 to mi2 to a superscripted 2? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 23:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Also, there needs to be a nonbreaking space before the slash per MOS:SLASH. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:08, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done. Hopefully this was what you wanted. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:05, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

In fact I went on a bit of a rampage regarding this. If you find anymore that need fixing that are protected (a lot aren't) please let me know. Best, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 21:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, as you're a football person (the non-US type), Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of Arsenal F.C. players/archive2 could use with some eyes (I'll probably be closing it as a keep soon). Dabomb87 (talk) 23:42, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Triple Crown

Your majesty, it gives me great pleasure to bestow the Imperial Triple Crown upon Rambo's Revenge for your great sporty and southern Californian contributions in the areas of WP:DYK, WP:GA, and WP:FA. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Well done :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

RE: WP:AIV

Nah, I'm okay with it, but if I see that user vandalize a page, I will immediately re-do the AIV process. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nappy Boy

Might you consider withdrawing this? I think the improvements I've made easily allow the article to hold water for the notability guidelines. Thanks, GlassCobra 14:06, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

I have withdrawn this, and closed the AfD. Well done on those improvements. Best, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:02, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

30 Rock Update

I finally have an idea for resourcing at the 30 Rock FLC. The source is reliable, it is directly quoting the releases, want to know if it's acceptable for you guys. If so this is a quick fix, if not I'll have to go source by source. Staxringold _talk^contribs 01:07, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

• THere ya go. Staxringold _talk^contribs 01:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
• Whaddya say, worth lifting the oppose yet? :) Staxringold _talk^contribs 15:14, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

• Not yet, sorry. But I am watching it... :) Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

• Heh, thanks. I wanna smack whoever copyvio'ed all those summaries. Staxringold _talk^contribs 18:26, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

• Poke. :) Staxringold _talk^contribs 14:44, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

• Ah, and there we go, Ottava has thrown his support in, particularly on the prose. Staxringold _talk^contribs 02:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

• Excellent, good job. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 07:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Tag refs

Hi Rambo - thanks for taking a look at the recessions article. I had never seen that #tag:ref formatting, and I'm not completely sure I got it correct. If I screwed anything up please let me know and thanks for pointing out that system to me! --JayHenry (talk) 02:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Although the FLC is finally over, I wanted to respond to your false accusation of WP:OR. The relevant rule is right here: Wikipedia:OR#Routine calculations. The "extrapolation" that you called "Original Research" is exactly this sort of routine calculation. Calculating a simple average is something taught to 10-year-olds. Wikipedia editors are allowed to calculate averages on their own, because this is truly elementary and uncontroversial mathematics. The FLC process is horrible and I will not be back. The reviewers can make whatever demands they please, even if they are completely irrelevant to the Featured List Criteria and the nominator is forced to comply. I spent over a month addressing the whims of editors who forced me to make changes that have nothing to do with the Featured List Criteria, and was even accused of Original Research for using math that is taught in elementary school even though this is explicitly allowed. --JayHenry (talk) 18:52, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

My OR point wasn't the averaging calculations, it was the arbitrary range of years you used. The NBER used very explicit date ranges which you adhered to with the exception of the last average. My problem was I couldn't see why you would deviate from those ranges. There must be a reason they use those ranges, and the source was published after 2007, so I thought that if they didn't list it as 1945-2007 then why should you. I realise the outcome is the same, but I hope you can see that reasoning is different from an arbitrary calculation and it wasn't just a "whim" of mine. Best, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 19:07, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

No, the point is that you falsely accused me of WP:OR. The NBER uses those ranges because it is reporting recessions and expansions. The averages are different for expansions if you include 2007 because there was an additional expansion in that time frame. If they did this, they would include 12 expansions and 11 recessions for that period, which is somewhat lopsided. My list was a list of recessions, that's the title of the article, and so I used 1945 to 2007 in order to be complete, in order to be as up to date as possible. Since I was not detailing expansions, there was no need to worry about an extra expansion being included because I was averaging recessions. --JayHenry (talk) 19:31, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay, and did you explain any of that in your FLC reply? Rambo's Revenge (talk) 23:20, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Request

In continuation of our talk at Template_talk:Editnotices/Namespace/File_talk, could you please replace the {{pp-semi-protected}} templates on Template:Editnotices/Page/MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist and Template:Editnotices/Page/MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist by {{Pp-template?small=yes}}. That is a more specific protection template for template namespace, and makes no trouble with semo or full protection. And while you are at it, please remove the whiteline in front of the noinclude tag. Debresser (talk) 22:01, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done Rambo's Revenge (talk) 07:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Debresser (talk) 10:06, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:Requests for comment/USERNAME also is in Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. But in this case, since the template itself is not even semi-protected, the only solution is to remove theprotection template completely. It may be advisable therefore to add that notice (mentioned above) to the talkpage. Debresser (talk) 10:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done. Additionally if your going to notice lots of these WP:Editnotice says that you could fix them yourself if you had the Wikipedia:PERM#Account_creator permission. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 11:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Ehm, how to get that? Debresser (talk) 12:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Applied. Debresser (talk) 12:42, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Now I can use the account creator interface, but that does not make me an "account creator" yet. That is yet another permission. Sigh... Debresser (talk) 14:50, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your recent changes!

Thanks for your recent edits!! - You helped the world today in some way... maybe a little bit, but wrong is doing nothing at all. 189.217.171.135 (talk) 01:50, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
