Wikipedia Mentor

Thanks for the offer, I'd love to have you as my wikipedia mentor! Unfortunately I'm somewhat swamped with schoolwork at the moment, but I'll leave a message here in a couple of weeks when things settle down a little. (Grillspyd (talk) 10:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC))

Admin coaching

I see you are at the top of the list of requests for admin coaching. I'm an admin who ready to start coaching someone. Would you like to be my coachee? --Ginkgo100talk 03:19, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it's easiest to have a centralized page. You can create one in your user space with a name such as User:Themcman1/Admin coaching. --Ginkgo100talk 14:48, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

From the South

Hi again! I am, Miguel Rodriguez from FROM THE SOUTH group. We want to aks for help in our Advanced English final project. It was required for us to extend a stub or write a new article that does noy exist at Wikipedia, about any topic of our country. FROM THE SOUTH decided to extend a stub. We found Amecameca's page could be a good option. We proceeded to add relevant information supported by reliable sources about this municipality of Mexico. We would like you to read it and give us some feedback. You can check it at>>> Amecameca Please if you have any comments or suggestions feel free to write us at our group discussion page at >>> Talk:From the south Thank you for your time, we really apreciatte it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lmiguelrd (talkcontribs) 19:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back

Hi Themcman1, and welcome back to fishing. I am curious why you are trying to delete the fishing guideline page. It is a page I created and have plans for. Cheers. --Geronimo20 (talk) 21:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Well there are over fifty fishing navigation panels. Most of these menus are centred in lower case, eg, here and here. If you capitalise them they lose symmetry and flow. Some have intrinsically disordered title lengths and have been left justified, like here. Others are both disordered and seem to demand capitalisation, like here and here. But most seem to flow well with centred lowercase. So those are the three styles I am working with. Like any style, the issue is debatable and could be made a discussion point (perhaps after agreeing on a style we could add it to the above guideline page - that would then future proof potential problems). Some consistency is also needed, and it would not be a good look to allow different editors to change the style of this menu or that menu to suit their own different ideas of how they should look. The menus have been there for some time now, and in that time there has been just one other attempt, apart from your own, to change a menu format.--Geronimo20 (talk) 04:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Fisheries and Fishing

Hello Themcman1, and welcome to WikiProject Fisheries and Fishing!

Please see the navigation sidebar on our main project page for information about our project guidelines, resources, and pending tasks. You can post any questions at the project talk page. Thank you for joining - we look forward to working with you! – Addbot (talk) 12:53, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Just joking. Thought I'd try the new template out on you , since it's brand new.! Wotd'yamean by "does anything need doing?". I'm slowly going mad, wondering if anyone else is around at all, apart from vandals and deletion enthusiasts! Here's 945 fishing articles, most of which need something done to them. Anyway, what would you like to do? Your involvement will be highly appreciated. --Geronimo20 (talk) 09:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
How about updating the fishing portal and conducting a creative drive for active members. You could produce a new newsletter – but who would we post it to? --Geronimo20 (talk) 12:39, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Glossary of fishing terms?

Just a thought... I am currently working on a glossary of fisheries terms. Would you be interested in setting up a parallel "Glossary of fishing terms"? --Geronimo20 (talk) 06:21, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Template:Welcome fishing

I am mystified by the changes you made to the size of images on this template. The original version displayed excellently on XP:Explorer, XP:Firefox2, XP:Firefox3, OSX:Firefox2, OSX:Firefox3 and OSX:Safari. Your version displays with distinctly shrunk images on all of these, and looks particularly bad on OSX:Firefox2. Can it be that you use Vista:Firefox3? Also, I don't know what that crap about me being a "slave" is about. I'm not your slave. --Geronimo20 (talk) 13:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
