Hi Yaksar.

AN request
Welcome to complex vandal-fighting, fun inn't? You listed contrib pages for the IPs you found, but you didn't show specific diffs for what they were doing wrong or otherwise show that those edits were net-balance-negative. How is anyone else supposed to jump in and help when you haven't given even one example of a specific problem? As far as a range-block goes, that's where you have to do the hard work of going through that CIDR-range review, so that you can show what collateral damage may or may not occur if all those 65,000 addresses are blocked. It looks to me like you've found something, but I still can't tell how bad it is, or what exactly you are saying is a problem. Can you add some detail at the AN thread?

User Page Tabs
Just thought you might want to know, that I changed the adress of the link for your edit counter from soxred63 to tparis, as X! has retired and his tool links are now invalid, and have been taken over by tparis. It now works, before it didn't allow the operation. Hope you don't mind. :-) --Gilderien Talk|Contribs 17:52, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

MOTDs (This space for rent)
You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 14:33, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
C-SPAN linking project
Hi there Yaksar, I apologize for the delay, but I saw your note on my page about having added those C-SPAN ELs. Because you've added at least 10, if you live in the U.S. you're eligible for one of the C-SPAN hats. Let me know if you are, and I can be reached via e-mail if you don't want to disclose your contact information on Talk pages. And no matter what, you are eligible for the C-SPAN award, which I've attached here. Cheers, WWB Too (talk) 18:11, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

User:Noozgroop
Even when edits like this may be considered a MOS violation, s/he is matching it the article's style "The album spent 15 weeks", "accomplished in 15 years by a", "album contains 13 of their biggest", etc. That time s/he was reported due to his/her edits changed the whole page's style. So, technically, the editing is not a MOS violation. Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 16:52, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, I would like to know what you think of the expansion that I have done at the John Marquez article, I keep finding more and more sources for items completely unrelated to trivial election mentions and enough for multiple sentence sourced statements about several more issues.LuciferWildCat (talk) 05:46, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Please don't delete Brown Sugar a cappella page
I know there are not as many independent and reliable sources as they could be, but I'm not that familiar with how to use Wikipedia to code them in correctly. If someone else on the Wikipedia team could use a search engine to find some reliable information about it (such as our website or Northwestern campus publications), please do so! But I think this page is valuable and shouldn't be deleted...
Thank you,
Good articles?
Hi. It's Mountain Girl 77 again, and I know it's been over a year since you last posted on my talk page, but I was still wondering if you have any good articles that I could help with? Or discussions? Or anything for me to be active in? Thanks!Mountain Girl 77 (talk) 00:08, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- Certainly, I'm happy to try to point you towards something interesting. Help me out though -- what kinds of topics are you interested in? Sports, music, politics, history? Something else? Give me some of your interests and I'll try to recommend some articles that need improvement.--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:33, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'm interested in Cambodian history, ballet, jazz, and Colorado history, and I can research other topics if needed.Mountain Girl 77 (talk) 15:31, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
