Thanks Terry. Happy New Year to you as well. --DeanS^talk 01:04, 1 January 2009 (EST)

Images

Dean, I saw you protected Image:20080919-2 p091908jb-0025-1-515h.jpg (amongst others). Couldn't we have a a policy of having descriptive file names for images? That image name is not only too long but tells us nothing about the image. If I had been fortunate enough to have merited sysop rights then sorting out the image library would have been my first pet project. I can only hope that some keen adminstrator will try and clean it up. BrianCo 10:54, 1 January 2009 (EST)

I like your idea BrianCo. Why don't you propose your idea on Andy's talk page. --DeanS^talk 10:57, 1 January 2009 (EST)

upload file not working?

the "upload file" command says some sort of "internal error" do you know what's up? RJJensen 03:01, 6 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks Terry. --DeanS^talk 03:09, 6 January 2009 (EST)

It isn't me, Dean...I am running my new bot, Sheriff-bot. TK will be back later. --₮K_{/Administrator}^/Talk 03:12, 6 January 2009 (EST)

Ok. You can tell me about this Sheriff-bot offline. --DeanS^talk 03:15, 6 January 2009 (EST)

Thank you!

for helping out with Fiji! --KotomiT^{ohayougozaimasu} 08:50, 6 January 2009 (EST)

You're welcome Kotomi. Thanks for your contributions to Conservpedia. --DeanS^talk 09:25, 6 January 2009 (EST)

Wikiproject:News Wanted Pages

Let's add the medal people can earn on the page as incentive. Plus, I will attack some more of those words tomorrow^Thursday to try and generate interest.--Jpatt 01:36, 7 January 2009 (EST)

We could ask Rod Weathers to generate a medal like the others he made. I created a couple of articles tonight. It's good if we're leading the way in creating these articles. --DeanS^talk 01:41, 7 January 2009 (EST)

Dean, thanks much for your tremendously insightful news posting a few minutes ago. It topped another day of insights on this site.--Andy Schlafly 23:31, 8 January 2009 (EST)

Andy, that insightful post came from Jpatt, one of our new admins. I just made a few small corrections to the news items. --DeanS^talk 00:03, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Please block

Please could you block the blasphemous vandal DanielP? Thanks--CPalmer 11:13, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Done. Thanks for the alert. --DeanS^talk 11:16, 9 January 2009 (EST)

No problem - thanks for the swift response. I think AlbertW has reverted most of the vandalism.--CPalmer 11:17, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Great block

Great block, Dean. No one has to block all the sub-accounts that were just created. The vandal simply wasted his time. You've blocked his IP for those accounts also with your first block.--Andy Schlafly 11:51, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks Andy. --DeanS^talk 11:53, 9 January 2009 (EST)

I don't know that I agree, Andy. The accounts could be used by different IPs and I found that one of the socks, TimL, made an edit almost three hours after DavidJ's IP was blocked. He then got blocked by Dean. So I took the initiative now to block all those socks, just to be safe. -Foxtrot 11:52, 10 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks, Foxtrot!--Andy Schlafly 11:55, 10 January 2009 (EST)

Glad to be of service :-) -Foxtrot 12:13, 10 January 2009 (EST)

Governors

Thanks for adding on to Washington. Originally I was sticking with just the state governors and not the territorial ones, but I suppose more information is better! WesleyS^Hello! 18:24, 10 January 2009 (EST)

I first saw the list and noticed Gregoire wasn't on there. Then I saw the full list on the state website and decided to fill in the blanks. --DeanS^talk 18:27, 10 January 2009 (EST)

Looks like I found a severely dated source, huh? I'll check more carefully. Thanks again! WesleyS^Hello! 18:31, 10 January 2009 (EST)

Mainpage picture size, My apologies, no offense intended

DeanS,

I did not notice that you had reversed my edits as far as the picture sizes to the main page. I was somewhat tired when I was doing the editing. My apologies.

Secondly, I did not notice that the picture sizes I chose were making the right and left columns unequal in width. For various reasons, I do agree with you that right and left columns on the main page should be somewhat equal in width. Therefore, I made the pictures smaller. conservative 05:35, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Thank you Conservative. --DeanS^talk 06:28, 11 January 2009 (EST)
