User talk:Hippopotamus

Welcome to Hippopotamus's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply.

Wow! I always wanted this to be my user name. I'm so jealous of you!! --JayHenry (talk) 04:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) Hippopotamus (talk) 22:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice Find[edit]

Nice find. Perhaps I got distracted or something. Thanks for reminding me though! Btw, I left a note on his talk explaining that if he requests unblock a third time then his right to edit his talk should be revoked for the duration of his block. So if you see him requesting it, please either inform me (if I'm awake), or find another available admin! :-) Thanks again. Scarian ^{Call me Pat!} 02:29, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very impressive work, Hippo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.214.72.115 (talk) 15:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute Resolution[edit]

I wondering if you would be interested in undergoing formal Dispute Resolution, instead of participating in these edit wars, which have continually proved that they solve nothing. There are clearly two sides to this matter. A more experienced and higher level administrator is needed to solve this problem. I will not request resolution until you and several other users support the idea. Standleylake40 (talk) 00:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Hippo doesn't need U, the U(FL) needs the Hippo. See the sweetness he brought to Michael Huyghue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.214.72.115 (talk) 00:16, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CART season names[edit]

I've started a talk section on this at the American Opel Wheel project page, but the reason the CART season articles are generically titled is so that non-points scoring races can be included in the article, hence the term 'season' at the end of it. If you change the article name to the specific name of the points series, then a) you have to take off the term 'season' and b) you would have to remove all coverage of non-points scoring races.

I would like to see all those series names reverted, but I have started the chat on the project page, so as many opinions as possible can be heard. --Falcadore (talk) 01:24, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

United Football League (2009) team infobox template[edit]

I noticed the Hartford Colonials unveiled their logo and colors today...unfortunately, I have no idea how to access the color codes so that the Colonials team infobox can have these colors. Since you created the template, would you mind helping me out here? Thanks, 205.213.211.198 (talk) 17:17, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1905 AAA championship[edit]

I see you are the creator of the 1905 AAA season page. I have been doing some research into the AAA sanctioning era of AOWR and would like to do a major overhaul of your page as a result. Mainly I would like to change the name of the page to -1905 AAA National Track Championship- but still have the AAA navbox link to your page from 1905. The 1905 season was not a championship season in the full sense as 1916 was the first to include road courses, brick, board, concrete, and dirt ovals. 1905 was exclusively dirt ovals. I am trying to fill holes in early AOWR sanctioned by AAA and would like to make this distinction. I created 1909, 1910, and 1911 if you are interested in checking them out. I am tackling 1920 next here or here (depending on when you link to it) Your input would be wonderful. Thanks!!Ehall317 (talk) 21:14, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
