I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

Hello my friend

I wrote the below stuff yesterday. I will add a few items:

• Thanks for the (attempted) help with the images. I guess TUSC is having issues.
• So, now I know you stalk my talk and my userpage!! Hahahaha. Actually, I just did an accidental rollback too. :)

From yesterdayish:

Long time. Well, a couple of days. But before that, quite a while. In point form:

1. You may have noticed that I can upload images now. Not sure if it's the new wizard interface, or just the ever-changing firewall rules here. I'm pleased, though not sure how long it will last.
2. I got a crappy camera, as you probably know.[1]
3. I want to make Hawaiian beetle articles. I'm looking into it. If you know of any, let me know. (Check your shoulder!)
4. I like your views on avoiding sections and lists. I also like my views on using sections and lists. I have no idea anymore.
5. Now that I have a camera, do you have suggestions on the sorts of images that would help counter the systemic bias problem? I've been taking images of objects. But, I want to do other things, like processes such as making tofu. What am I missing that's right under my...nostrils. Like pictures of nostrils, for example.
6. My English is going down the drain from living here so long. It used to be so good.
7. I've decided not to go for the big admin thing, at least for a year or way, way more. I just think it would spoil the experience, and thrust me into unpleasant areas. I like the rogue thing. Joining groups bogs things down for me. Helping seems most efficient when done rogue-style.
8. Per my comments way back when, I asked a friend to help contact the San Fransisco parrot people for article images. No luck so far.
9. I will rewatch the wonderful Transcendent Man. I haven't forgotten.
10. Did you ever watch Standing in the Shadows of Motown I recommended? Very good.
11. I will do the ogg video thing, in particular for Chinese fitness dancing.
12. See Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. It's sooooo good: 11/10. The doggies! The lovely doggies!
13. The requested images thing is working out. I am quite pleased with the results, and all terribly proud of myself. :)
14. Thanks again for the advice on image placement. I am reviewing and revising.

And so, how's by you?

All the best, as usual.

Thanks for the comments, Anna. Always good to hear from you. I'll check out those films you recommend. No need to rewatch Transcendent Man, as it is a pretty silly film, but well done. I'm very interested in collaborating on a Hawaiian beetle article with you. Can you find one that has lots of sources? Viriditas (talk) 03:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking that maybe we should just work on a top level article, such as Hawaiian beetles. What do you think? Viriditas (talk) 13:06, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Maybe Flora of Hawaii and Fauna of Hawaii should come first. Even dorky Canada has Flora of Canada and Fauna of Canada. And this isn't a province or state thing. Hawaii is distinct, and such main articles seem like the next step in terms of expansion. What do you think? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:34, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Wait. I should check first. I always post then check later. Maybe these exist. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:36, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Okay, What am I missing? I see Outline of Hawaii -- huge -- and I see flora and fauna of Hawaii as a one paragraph section in Hawaii. What gives? I must be missing a huge bunch of articles here.

Oh, and again, see Happy People: A Year in the Taiga now now now now! It's sooo nice. I think I want to live there. Except that it's too cold and it would make my skin look old. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:45, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

And why isn't Outline of Hawaii to be found in Template:Hawaii??? This is on your watch! Don't make me have to come over there, young man. But I do hear it's lovely this time of year. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:49, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Milky Way

Hi,

Did you fully address the citation issues on Milky Way that you said you were working on in February 2011? I left a note on Talk:Milky Way and may try to address this myself if it hasn't already been done. —Alex (ASHill | talk | contribs) 23:45, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

I will take a look. Thanks for letting me know. Viriditas (talk) 02:20, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Purpose DRN thread

Hello Viriditas, this is just a message to say that the thread at the dispute resolution noticeboard about the redirect of purpose is stalled, essentially waiting for you to comment. If you have the time, could you can hop over there and tell us what you think about the latest posts there? Thanks — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 01:40, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I've been away; taking a look now. Viriditas (talk) 02:18, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
