Hi again. I'm not exactly sure what you are wanting me to quack ;-) Are you wanting me to make statements such as "I being taken to ANI by a very experienced editor after just 3 comments - an action which felt very much like [[WP:BULLYING]], "Multiple similar comments and reversions felt like it was the target of a [[WP:TAGTEAM]]" "A very experienced editor involved in a discussion with me (prematurely) hatted sections that they were involved in, contrary to hatting policy" ...is this the type of issue you would like me to raise?__[[User:DrChrissy|DrChrissy]] ([[User talk:DrChrissy|talk]]) 15:26, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Resilient Barnstar
OK, I hope you're happy with your work, I think it's fabulous! And I'm also glad that we could (resolve? set aside? put on hiatus?) our differences elsewhere and that it led to this accomplishment of yours. Cheers! — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:11, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Alf. It means a great deal more to me coming from you. I don't even consider our differences as anything to set aside, much less consider. I learned a great deal from the experience, and thank you kindly. Now then, is the article still supposed to be in my sandbox, or did I screw-up yet again? Atsme talk 19:17, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's normal that it's still in your sandbox. When you move a page out of userspace into mainspace that just happens. You can blank the sandbox version and it won't affect the real version, and then use your sandbox for other stuff. Would you be interested in trying to write a DYK (WP:DYK) from your new article? It'll get it on the main page for a few hours. That process can be a little overwhelming, I know, but if you'd like to try I can help you, or if you'd like it to happen but don't want to get involved, I can do it for you (which is normal, other people proposing DYKs for new articles).— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:23, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd love to do something new. If you have the patience to work with me, I'm game. Also, I noticed in the "view history" of my new article, it shows all the edits. Uh oh? Or is that normal? You might want to take a peek at it. Atsme talk 19:26, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's supposed to show the history, don't worry about that. I'll think about what might be a good hook, and maybe you can read over the instructions at the DYK page. I believe you have 5 days or 10 days or something from when it's moved into mainspace, so it's not a super hurry.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:28, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You can take the lead, and just coach me along so I can see first hand how it's done. Is that ok? Atsme talk 19:33, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, will do later today or tomorrow and let you know what's going on.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:38, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I miss your insightfulness, your patience, and your genius, Alf.laylah.wa.laylah. I hope you are checking in from time to time, and will see my post. Please come back soon. AtsmeConsult 20:49, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Herald - how sweet - thank you!! And thank you for being so patient and giving of your time. I'm pretty excited about a couple new projects I'm working on offline, and also trying to improve a very inaccurate "start" article that relies heavily on self-published sources, and original research.

FA congratulations

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of American paddlefish to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,287 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. BencherliteTalk 10:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Bencherlite. I believe in the DYK/GA/FA process, admire the reviewers for their diligence, and generosity of their time, and hope I will be able to help bring more quality articles to Wikipedia. AtsmeConsult 12:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is to inform you that American paddlefish, which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Wikipedia Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 24 December 2014. The proposed main page blurb is here; you may amend if necessary. Please check for dead links and other possible faults before the appearance date.

Precious

intrinsic beauty of sharing knowledge

Would please help us to copy edit this article, because we have nominated it for FA.--Salman mahdi (talk) 07:28, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Salman mahdi, I would be delighted to help. AtsmeConsult 11:33, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
With thanks fore your great helps, just a question, is it finished?--Salman mahdi (talk) 06:42, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Salman mahdi:, I copied the your table to my Sandbox, and will try to make it work per the suggestions of other editors on the TP. I have a little time to do it now. I am pretty sure it will not pass a FA review as it appears now, so I am going to try Technical 13's approach, eliminate the numbers column and shrink the graphics to see how it all works out. No promises, but I am going to try. AtsmeConsult 14:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infallible's table

I started a new table using all of the information you already had. I fixed a few of the problems you were having formatting the table. I removed from the captions and headings the CE and AH. I instead put this in the section below with wikilinks. It just makes the hearer look cleaner. I split off the date of death section and I combined the place of burial section. I moved cause and place of death to being a footnote before the source of the date of death. You can either finish my code if you like, change it as you wish, or adapt it into the table you already have. I posted my work in your sandbox.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 22:36, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any questions in regard to this code feel free to ping me.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 22:37, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Serialjoepsycho, wondering if you had a chance to look at the table Technical 13 proposed at the article's TP? Another editor also suggested that we eliminate the number column, and make the graphic 50px instead of 100px to accommodate cell phones and the like. They will be so happy to know the table issue may be resolved. More tomorrow. AtsmeConsult 03:38, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did and started making one based off Technical 13 that cleaned it up more. Then I saw SchroCat comments. Since Schrocat is a delegate for the featured list director, he offers a pretty reliable view. I've asked him a few questions in regards. But here's what I did with technical 13's example User:Serialjoepsycho/sandbox/2. -Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 03:57, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sweet! Just one question, Serialjoepsycho - don't you think the caption Importance should be flush left like the way T13 had it? AtsmeConsult 05:19, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It was flush on my end of the computer. I posted a stripped down table to your sandbox. You will be able to maintain the current level of information but now most of it has been shifted to prose. The depiction has a section, all of the biographical details have one section except for the titles, they maintain their own section. This should render a clean and with a uniform aesthetic across devices and if should be universally accessible to all readers. This allow you to maintain the images at current levels. -Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 17:19, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest ducks

Hi. I wanted to let you know that I have just read Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest ducks and think it is one of the best essays I have read on the project. What I find extraordinary is that several of the opposers are the very same people that targeted me on Foie gras which eventually led to my raising an ANI and an editor being warned for incivility! By the way, it seems ironic that here in England, we say that ducks produce a "QUACK"; In France, they produce a "COIN"! Keep up the good work.__DrChrissy (talk) 16:47, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What an interesting essay. Have you tried submitting it to Wikipediocracy? It's much more their style than ours ! -Roxy the dog™ (resonate) 12:10, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Roxy, but I have enough to do without worrying about multiple submissions. Have you and the others whose POV you support tried to make WP:MEDRS a policy? Perhaps you should exert some effort in that direction. AtsmeConsult 12:30, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
