This

is long overdue!

For not letting things get to you and for handling them, eventually (!), with extremely good grace! ColdmachineTalk 14:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Woah... that's looking so much better now! Looks far more professional than the previous version - on it's way to being a GA I'd say! Good work on that! ≈ The Haunted Angel 12:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Of course, it will need a bit of discussion, but I don't think it's gonna' be that huge a problem. ≈ The Haunted Angel 13:32, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I noticed the pics being added - the top one is at the largest it'll go, unfortunatly. The article's looking a whole lot better now! ≈ The Haunted Angel 01:33, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Well first we need to get rid of that very odd format where everything is going onto the line below for no reason... but that's not really drastically important. You're right when you say we need more sources - as many as possible to back up each statement the article makes. This page should be able to explain it better than I could. ≈ The Haunted Angel 01:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I've made a couple of edits to clean the refs up - are any of those the ones you meant? And don't worry, you're not pestering me - I want this article to be a GA just as much :) ≈ The Haunted Angel 18:17, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Ahh, the article's looking fantastic as a whole! Compared to what it is now, it was barely an article before you got to it! The groups part looks good also - very well sourced. ≈ The Haunted Angel 21:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Your next RfA

I do hope so - I am a little wary after the last one; even though I think that the end result was a little unfair, I can't deny that I should have acted a bit better, so I have no one really to blame but myself. I think failing the last RfA was the proof that I still had a couple of things left to learn, which I think I have now. If you think that I'm ready, then I'll be happy to accept the nomination :) ≈ The Haunted Angel 12:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, well I'll keep that in mind - I could have sworn that I'd enabled email in the past... Somehow I must have turned it off! Well, we'll fix that. Thanks for your advice :) ≈ The Haunted Angel 13:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Aargh

Fix your signature - there's an open font colour tag on it and it made the bottom of my talk page green :/ Neıl 19:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Change it to this:
[[User:Sticky Parkin|<b><font color=#FF8C00>Sticky</font></b>]] [[User talk:Sticky Parkin|<b><font color=#FF8C00>Parkin</font></b>]]
I checked it and it's fixed. No idea why it made text green, but it did! Neıl 21:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
It's still doing it - just change it, the code above won't make it appear any different. Neıl 21:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Old:
[[User:Sticky Parkin|<b><font color="#FF8C00">Sticky]]</font></b> [[User talk:Sticky Parkin|<b><font color="#FF8C00">Parkin]]</font></b>
New:
[[User:Sticky Parkin|<b><font color=#FF8C00>Sticky</font></b>]] [[User talk:Sticky Parkin|<b><font color=#FF8C00>Parkin</font></b>]]
Square brackets go outside the "font color" and "b" tags. Please just change it! Neıl 21:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Copy and paste this (don't click edit first, copy THIS):

[[User:Sticky Parkin|<b><font color=#FF8C00>Sticky</font></b>]] [[User talk:Sticky Parkin|<b><font color=#FF8C00>Parkin</font></b>]]

And save it as your signature, and it will work. Until it's fixed, thou shalt not editeth my talk pageth. Neıl 21:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Your brackets are misplaced. Just copy Neil's version. Trust us. :-) ATren (talk) 21:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

The problem is your sig. Neil's page just happens to reveal it. Fix the sig to ensure that the </font></b> is inside the ]]. ATren (talk) 22:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Still happening. I don't know why. Look at the source and you can see the brackets misplaced. If I were you, I'd try to revert to your default sig while you resolve it. Or, alternatively, copy/paste your sig in directly followed by three tildes (~~~) to get just the date. Maybe the help desk will be able to resolve it. ATren (talk) 22:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it looks good now! Kudos to the help desk! ATren (talk) 22:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
