Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Global East Rock Festival

Hello Tarastar42. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Global East Rock Festival to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. Kimchi.sg (talk) 08:37, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

DIFFs

Here is some information that may help. Help:Diff. Active Banana (^bananaphone 16:14, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Let's get this party started!

I love it. I absolutely love it. A great way to start off. I saw your message about your first article, East Bay Green Corridor. That is some great work. I also want to thank you for welcoming KatPage. And I saw your work helping to save KatPage's first article, Momiji Dolls and your help at the AfD. What a great user you are and a valuable assett to the project. WOW!. Thank you so very much. I will comment more on this later, but for now, "let's get this party started!"

I can't write worth a darn, but you obviously can. What I can do is add content and format stuff. I will be working on Momiji Dolls over the next couple of days. Maybe we could team up on this artcile and fix it up. I can build it up and maybe you can rewite my bad writing, and fix my other errors. And maybe some of the stuff I do can be informative to you. I'll add some notes to the article's talk page in case you would like to look. By the way, I'm a new user too (started a couple days after you). Seems like us new users are the only ones that are nice to each other. Glad to have you aboard and thank you very much for all your efforts. Oh yeah, love the "42" part, in case you're a Douglas Adams fan. -      Hydroxonium (talk) 13:48, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Should have just looked at you user page first, yep, another Douglas Adams fan. -      Hydroxonium (talk) 13:51, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

More on this later - it's a Barnstar

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		In appreciation of your fine work, your gracious welcoming of new users and all around being a great person, I hereby award Tarastar42 the Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar. Thank you so very much for donating your time to Wikipedia. You are truly a great asset to the project. Thanks. - Hydroxonium (talk) 14:05, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Of course I'm going to give you a Barnstar. How could I not? Thank you kindly. -      Hydroxonium (talk) 14:05, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

WOW!! Thanks so much! You have made my day! I would love to collaborate with you on articles; that would be fun! The only thing is I am about to get crazy-busy... I have been editing a lot recently because I have been sick and stuck in bed, but starting tomorrow I will have almost no free-time. :-(. Still, I will pop in when I can. Thanks so much for making me feel so special! Tarastar42 (talk) 15:30, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

File:Momiji.jpg is up for deletion at Commons

I just saw that File:Momiji.jpg is up for deletion at Commons, so I thought I'd let you know. Sorry for the bad news. -      Hydroxonium (talk) 15:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

You saved the article

		The Article Rescue Barnstar
		In recognition of your impressive work in saving Momiji Dolls, I hereby award Tarastar42 the Rescue Barnstar 3. Thank you very much for your tremendous effort. - Hydroxonium (talk) 11:21, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

You did it, the article is saved. The AfD was just closed as "Keep". Thank you so very much. I'm going to keep working on the article to fix it up. Thanks. -      Hydroxonium (talk) 11:23, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

HOW DARE YOU?? Haha, good luck to the squad. Hey, I might as well tell you here--that list of media appearances, I find that a bit problematic: a Google search can't show up in a reference, and what I find really odd (cause I did my homework!) is that there really is no coverage at all on this person, despite what you claim (or can be presented as--we'll fight over that later) as her ubiquity in the media. So cab's point at the AfD is very relevant, I think. Anyway, if the squad can do something with it, good for them; I don't mind being proven wrong. Later, Drmies (talk) 02:38, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

• BTW, where is that squad when you really need them, like on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Alliance for Safe Children? Drmies (talk) 02:39, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Ghazal Omid article rescue

Hi again, Tarastar42. I've added sources to the article and expanded it. If you have a chance, could you go through it quickly to see if I made any mistakes? I'm notorious for typos. Thanks. -      Hydroxonium (talk) 14:18, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Tarastar42,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
