Bartender

Hye, sorry but what is this sentence: "hundreds to thousands of different drinks" ?

and second one, barmaid not is the same of bartender is girl-bartender.

Abaziarocco (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC).

1. It denotes the cocktails. 2. A barmaid is a female bartender (not a girl; girls cannot work in bars), but one doesn't create a tautology, "actress (female actor)". The term denotes the sex by definition ("maid"). — O'Dea (talk) 13:07, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Oops!

Sorry about inadvertent removal of the bus timetable link at Sligo. RashersTierney (talk) 17:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Nay problem, Mr. Rashers, it could happen to a cardinal. — O'Dea (talk) 18:03, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps, but would he be so prompt with a mea culpa? Anyways, no harm done. See you around. RashersTierney (talk) 21:07, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Oh those cardinals know their Latin and say mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa and softly beat their chests—but in the confessional, and not for the public's benefit in a way that might incur institutional financial liability. They used to be called crawthumpers in the old days. So nice to see them sidelined. See you around. — O'Dea (talk) 21:10, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Your invitation to participate in a Wikimedia-approved survey in online behavior.

Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis[1][2], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.

I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.

Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)

To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=18087162 (HTTPS).

Best Regards, --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 12:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.

UPDATE: This is the second and final notification for participating in this study. Your help is essential for having concrete results and knowledge that we all can share. I would like to thank you for your time and as always for any questions, comments or ideas do not hesitate to contact me. PS: As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study. --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 11:47, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

What are you talking about? You posted an invitation here on February 2nd asking me to take part (although it is dated incorrectly above as January 4th). I completed the survey the day I was invited to do so. Now you are back to ask me to do it again. Do you have no record of the work I did? — O'Dea (talk) 08:44, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello O'Dea. If you completed the survey then definately your data are in the database. The problem is that its really hard to identify which participant completed the survey and in fact i prefer it this way because it ensures confidentiality and security for everyone's answers. So unless i saw that someone answered back in their talk page i had to send a second notification just in case. In addition, it gave me an opportunity to announce the information about the barnstar that each one of you will be receiving as a thank you for your efforts and participation. I am terribly sorry about any incovenience i might have caused. I assure you this was definately not my intention. :( Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 10:02, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

So if you don't know who participated do you plan to give everyone you asked to complete your survey a barnstar just in case? As for confidentiality, I can see everyone you invited by viewing your contribution history. — O'Dea (talk) 10:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, unless someone has given me an indication that they did not want to take part in the survey. It comes down to a choice between protecting the participants(confidentiality). I have an obligation as a researcher to abide to the Ethics code set forth by the American Sociological Assosiation first. Also, you can see people invited into the survey through my contributions but the data that will be published in a journal will be completely anonymized(again for preserving confidentiality).

Effin

Thanks for helping with Effin wiki page editing. im new to this and trying to find way around wiki, its massive. i have a lot of knowledge about Effin so trying to put relevant stuff up am trying to get sources and references. etc,

Tim hannon , will try and get some articles from limerick leader but they not available online on archive. 

Angeldharma (talk) 00:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

The current phrasing at this article amounts to synthesis. Really don't understand the determination to insist the word 'fucking' appears in the text in the present manner and I'm still awaiting a response from both of you at the article TP. It shouldn't be so difficult to resolve this issue amicably over there. RashersTierney (talk) 03:30, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I have explained the reason for it at Talk Angeldharma. It is not prurience as it pertains directly to the reason why Effin suddenly became famous. — O'Dea (talk) 03:58, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

So reliable sources should be easy enough to find. RashersTierney (talk) 04:22, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

TP is a common shorthand for Talk Page. No one is disputing that effin' can be used as a euphemism for 'fucking', so applying references to that end is not addressing the bone of contention. The Facebook dispute has been given some coverage in reliable sources. None that I have seen have considered it necessary (or perhaps appropriate) to use the word 'fucking' in their coverage of the story. You have cited a BBC article as using the disputed word, but it does not appear there. The 'failed verification' template I applied has already been removed twice by you. This dispute between yourself and a new editor has been rolling steadily on for weeks now and your edit summary here is disingenuous, to say the least. Please reply at the article TP where a centralised discussion can hopefully resolve this without further drama, or a need to seek comment from other editors. Best.

AfD and PROD notifications

Hi there O'Dea. Back in November, you got either an AfD or PROD notification, and it was during one of the template testing project's experiments. If you could go here and leave us some feedback about what you think about the new versions of the templates we tested (there are links on the page), that would be very useful. (You can also email me at swallingwikimedia.org if you want.) Thanks! Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 22:46, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
