Hello, BuickCenturyDriver. You have new messages at Salvio giuliano's talk page. Message added 16:52, 29 May 2011 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
I've closed your report there and will probably be removing it shortly. The reason is that both the directions at the top of the page and the edit notice that pops up when adding a report indicate that it is not a forum for reviewing blocks and that you must notify those being discussed. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:51, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Of all things, as the fates would have it, my lapto
p caught a virus today! (I'm writing this on a cell phone.) Be my guest and add tonight's game (or someone else could do it, I just won't be able to); I can type this short message on a cell phone but this thing hates the huge window of the article page. My deepest apologies for simply adding to the confusion that I shouldn't have even stirred up in the first place! Just carry on with tonight's game as you normally would. Sorry for the mixup!

You probably didn't know this, but the list of admins is run completely by a bot. It won't work to split up the list a different way without coordinating with the bot operator to have the bot understand the new layout. — Carl (CBM · talk) 11:46, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
I'll ask, though I don't know if they will approve the change being there are currently 4 users beginning with a number. –BuickCenturyDriver 14:03, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
No problem; the page isn't clearly marked as bot-driven, so how could you have known? Sometimes people who have been here too long (like me) take things for granted. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:19, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
When you update the NL East standings, could you please take an extra minute or two to update all of the teams instead of just your favorite team? Thanks... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eposty (talk • contribs)

Today was bad enough a day when I woke up to find my grandmother had passed away (which is a totally different story) and then... well, you know.
Just wanted to thank you and gros hx4 and all the other folks who worked on the Red Sox' season page this year and for all the diligence that was put into it. I look forward to working with you again in that strange element so painfully familiar to Sox fans in the autumn months—"next year".
Thankyou for participating in my request for adminship. Now I've got lots of extra buttons to try and avoid pressing by mistake... Redrose64 (talk) 15:01, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
First, I doubt this is really the right place to make such editorial-ish comments, especially in lieu of a summary which should've mentionned it was just some minor wikilinking. :)
Secondly, Link, Zelda and the like, despite being overly popular Nintendo Characters, do not appear in Mario Kart because the characters in that game (just like Mario Party, and just about every Mario sports title) are ones in the Mario expanded universe, which is not the case for Link & co. I do think a "Nintendo Kart" or other misc. sport title including such iconic characters would be a valid commercial idea, but that's another debate. :p
(PS: If any, reply here, I've watched.) Salvidrim (talk) 04:44, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Well it's very strange that the Smash Bros series which has almost all the Nintendo characters has Link and Zelda in it (and Samus too) but I think it would be silly to see Samus in a kart. but Link and Zelda should get a Mario Kart appearance. Also the cloud guy does appear in other Mario Kart game as the guy that holds the traffic light, so it';s rather strange to pick him to become the next playable character. . –BuickCenturyDriver 09:13, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Nonetheless, edit summaries (or any article talk pages) aren't the place to express your opinion on who should or shouldn't appear in Mario Kart and why. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 11:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
I apologize. Unfortunately, edit summaries are etched in stone and the only way to remove them is to delete the page and restore it without the particular edit. –BuickCenturyDriver 11:48, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Hey, it's no big deal in this case, really.. But Super Smash Bros. is a series that includes characters from the entire library of Nintendo games (Mario, Zelda, but also Earthbound, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Metroid, and numerous others), while Mario Kart/Party/Sports stick to characters from the Mario universe. That's just how it is, and any other way would just not make sense. It's Mario Kart, not Nintendo Kart. :) Salvidrim (talk) 18:08, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
BuickCenturyDriver, do it again and you'll be blocked. I've already warned you above for the same behavior. Eagles24/7(C) 19:28, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Unless I am mistaken, the warning above was for a null edit, which was not this case (which was an actual edit). The content of the edit simply was not referenced in the edit summary, and the summary used for commentary. Salvidrim (talk) 19:37, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
The intent is still the same. The Mario Kart edit was basically a null edit for BCD to add commentary in his edit summary. Eagles24/7(C) 19:42, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
At this point I'd probably want the edit removed, given the confict it has caused. –BuickCenturyDriver 00:30, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Blocking for that Eagles? Really? I agree it's not needed (and I'm happy to say clearly here - Buick, don't put your editorials into edit summaries - this isn't a forum) but let's not make a mountain of a molehill. I think Buick's learnt his lesson and threats of blocks seem unreasonable over such a trivial matter. WormTT· (talk) 09:40, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello BuickCenturyDriver/April2011-December2012! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.
If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.
Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.
You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:New York License Plate.png is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors to make better use of the image, and it will be more informative for readers.
If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion,
a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed a file deletion tag from File:New York Empire License Plate.jpg. When removing deletion tags, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:16, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Please don't create userspace subpages consisting of fake articles detailing your fantasy seasons of "Survivor", your fantasy episodes of "The Simpsons", or any other such stuff that I may have missed. This is not what Wikipedia is for, not even userspace.
I politely request that you add {{db-u1}} to these pages, so as to tag them for deletion by an administrator.
I also request that you do the same for your subpage endorsing William Thompson's 2009 Mayoral campaign. It wasn't appropriate in the first place, and it's certainly not appropriate three years after the election.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Buick, you might have noticed that I reverted your recent edit to this list. The edit summary says it all: just because Bob McGrath plays a character named "Bob", it doesn't necessarily mean that he's playing himself. McGrath is an actor who toured Japan and sang for Mitch Miller; the character on Sesame Street is a music teacher who used to date a Deaf girl. Big difference, see? ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:10, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
I figured it would be reverted, but at least he gets to be called "Bob" on and off the street. –BuickCenturyDriver 23:48, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Yah, I guess it is. Although I hafta ask--if you knew that it would be reverted, why'd you add it in the first place? I'm old and don't have as much time left; I certainly don't need anyone to be wasting my time! ;) I'm being partly serious here, though. Please, if you think that an edit will probably be reverted, it's a good idea not to make it. If you have a question, ask it on the talk page, and if it's a reasonable edit that will improve the article, it will probably be okay. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:37, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Do you think the stadium/attendance columns should be reversed in the game logs? I could see the support for such an argument, but when I made the log I was simply repeating what I did last season, and now I can't even remember why I put attendance before stadium last year. Do you know what other game logs with stadiums do? RedSoxFan274(leave a message~contribs) 04:14, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

I am assuming that you did not intend to mass-blank parts of the page while correcting a "grammer" mistake and reverted accordingly. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 02:00, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Correct. I was trying to fix a grammer error in an archive from a link on another page, but I didn't realize I was editing an old version of the actual page itself. I reverted it (with my trusty revert button of course) or at least I thought I did. This what what I intended[1] –BuickCenturyDriver 02:56, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
In this edit you ask the candidate why he or she desires to get the mop. However I would have to say it's a bit redundant in self-nom RFAs since the candidate clearly states why he wants to get the tools at the top. –BuickCenturyDriver 05:41, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
While I appreciate your opinion, my experience would seem to differ from yours. YMMV, of course. - jc37 05:46, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
so ufc 142, an event between some of the best mixed martial artists in the world and watched by millions of people isn't notable. a quote from your bio about wikipedia: "The site seems to cover virtually every subject under the sun." - not if you have your way it won't. or maybe it will, if by "virtually every subject" you mean "Rocky Roe" and "retractable roofs". get the hell out. 78.52.243.159 (talk) 13:44, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia does cover every subject, but articles need to be notable to remain on the site, that is what the AFD discussions are for. –BuickCenturyDriver 15:20, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
My apologies if this is not the right way to report about a user. Though from your userpage I understand you are an administrator, and hence I thought you might want to take a look into it.

According to Survivor: Philippines's editing history, the template was used. the template was used on a misspelled article: Survivor: The Philippenes. It has since been deleted and so the template may be used for future seasons if it gains favour. Meantime, feel free to try it in your sandbox. –BuickCenturyDriver 03:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that there is no "The" in the name of the upcoming US Survivor season. According to the screencap, it is actually "Survivor: Philippines". Apologies if I'm coming off as rude, just trying to help. - Katanin (talk) 03:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
No problem, if the official site does not use "The" then I don't mind moving it back. –BuickCenturyDriver 03:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
I think we should go by the logo right now, as that's what we've been using to determine the names for the entire series' run. The logo, as revealed, states "Survivor: Philippines", with no "The". An article already exists at Survivor: Phillippines (the incorrect spelling is noted in the talk page). We can discuss the name of the page in the talk page of that article. - Katanin (talk) 03:34, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar! It is an honor to receive one from you. I've never received an Editor's Barnstar before and I appreciate it a lot. I'm admittedly not much of a content creator, so the barnstar was quite unexpected.

Hi there. Regarding you recent edits to this article: Please note that in 2010, the NFL implemented the so-called "West Coast" modification, so now clubs have to travel to play only one team based on the west coast (either Oakland or San Diego) in years they play the teams in the AFC West. Thus, per the rotation in 2013, as listed in the official 2012 NFL Record and Fact Book, the Giants will play away games at Kansas City and San Diego, and will stay at home for Denver and Oakland. Please also notice that this is also stated in the disclaimer at the bottom of the web site that you cited in your edit summaries, but they only chose to display them in italics instead of an outright update because they state that the changes "have not yet been announced" for some reason. In either case, many others would consider the NFL Record and Fact Book more official, reliable, and more current than a web site whose primary purpose is to provide PSL information. Regards.
