Your account will be renamed

[edit]

Perhaps you can contact the other Spike through email and he will hopefully be OK with giving the name up. I did that long ago when there was another Soap on dewiki, who, similarly, had had the name a long time but was inactive and didn't really care what his username was. (However I decided not to pursue it, since I rarely leave enwiki, and because I figured some sort of global SUL would eventually happen.) Soap 12:46, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion. I have sent an e-mail. But do you know what the other Spike and me would have to do if he would accept my request? Is there a template to use or something like that? Spike (talk) 23:48, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stoppage time listed at Redirects for discussion

[edit]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Stoppage time. Since you had some involvement with the Stoppage time redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. JZCL 14:44, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:12, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Gold Rush, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tom Murray. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

NFL predraft

[edit]

{{NFL predraft}} (talk): Would you mind if I copy your version into NFL predraft/sandbox and make edits? Or would you like to develop this yourself? -DePiep (talk) 09:33, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@DePiep: I have no problems with you copying it and making edits. Thanks for the help. Spike (talk) 10:06, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not familiar with NFL or foot-inch at all. But I got interested since the template could use improvements IMO. Today, if you see any blocking reasons for the current proposal (formatting & layout only!), then please say so. The issue of metric values will follow. -DePiep (talk) 21:35, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I won't be reverting, but just FYI, at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 14, 2018, the redirect wasn't a mistake, it's per WP:NOTBROKEN. On a few minor points such as this one, TFA is more likely to follow MOS guidance than other sections of the Main Page. We'll probably have a discussion on this point at WT:TFA in the not-too-distant future. - Dank (push to talk) 11:01, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
