Woah! Nice boxes. I wish I had a bunch of things I could list out. I'll have to think of some and see if there are boxes for them. Cold-NiTe 02:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Dallas Real Estate

I thought about db-ing it as spam, but it doesn't really name any companies, and it's similar to the demographics sections on each US city page. Corvus cornix 23:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Maybe put an unsourced and wikify tag on it? Corvus cornix 23:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Hm. Now that the demographic information is gone, I might support a speedy deletion. Corvus cornix 22:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I've listed it for AfD. Are you interested in discussing it there? Corvus cornix 20:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Help!

Is there anything (warnings?) I can do about a user who repeatedly vandalizes this page (my talk page)? It is really offending me and I don't know what else to do! All I did was put a greeting on his page!--♫Twinkler4♫ 00:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Warn the user, and if it doesn't stop, tell an admin or leave a note at WP:AIV Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 01:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

My sig

Please Read WP:SIG first.Arnon Chaffin (Talk) 20:38, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for putting back the Simon Cowell page in tact. I am sort of revamping it and it was a mistake that I deleted a part, I put it straight back but kind of found that you already did it so thanks again,212.21.113.162 22:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Status Button

Of course! You need to create a subpage titled User:Twinkler4/Status2 Then what you do is you put this text on the page: {{User:Twinkler4/StatusChange2|online}} and whenever you want to change the status, just delete the "online" and put "away." After you put that text on the page, you need to put this text on your User Page: {{User:Twinkler4/Status2}} and the button will be displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Additionally, you can put the same text ( {{User:Twinkler4/Status2}} ) on your talk page and the button will appear there too. I am sorry if those directions are hard to follow. If they are, please feel free to ask me questions on my talk page and I will help you. Cheers! Wikipediarules2221 23:30, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Nice work! Wikipediarules2221 00:17, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcoming! I sure do like cookies! Cornwad 23:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome & the cookies! Glad the sprain's healing. Bravegrrl 00:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)Bravegrrl

Yeah, thanks, but how do you get the cookies (or any other picture) on there? TmandudE 14:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

And yet again, thanks.

It is demanded by the evolution of wiki pages that qualities of pages no longer fitting the environment will become rudimentary or nill in display and only remain stored in the genome history complex of the source control system. In plain English, I erased my other foolish remarks, but you can surely still see them in the revision history. --Ohadaloni 21:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'm a bit confused

I was mostly feeling free talking to you on these pages knowing I can always blank or summarize the talks, and not clutter the pages with such information. It seems obvious that such newbee discussions will not last long. I was releived by the understanding that my daring foolishnesses will be erased with time, leaving traces in the revision history for inspection, but not publicly advertized for the rest of time. I have just blanked the sections that were above, which I myself added in the past few days while conversing with you, Only later to discover this is a no-no. Shouldn't there be forums then, where wiki's like me can be guided by you without having to embaress themselves with a stamp for life in front of the rest of planet? Its one things to be foolish in front of you, while the planet can catch it if they are quick, and yet another for wiki to catch it for them, so it can market my over-original thoughts for the rest of time. --Ohadaloni 21:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shangrasweetnlo 03:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism

Thanks for reverting vandalism of my talk page - Skysmith 06:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Blanking?

why? it was getting full, and it doesnt work anyway, i think its possessed...

Please keep watching me

Can you please watch also this page for a while, with respect to style and WIKI guide adherance, and comment if relevant.--Ohadaloni 13:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

How do I change the main title from "Ceratoid angler fish". to "Ceratoid Angler"? If this is admin only, then the question was: Is this the better style title for this page?. --Ohadaloni 17:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Is there any page describing history of vandalism cases? --Ohadaloni 17:33, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, then let us say that once I decide that this should truly be the correct title for this page, I'll just ask you to change it. It will take a very long time before this page has any meaningful content. I have abdandoned researching this fish a while back, waiting for the wikipedia to come around on this. Only today it occured to me its time to re-visit the subject, and to my frustration, not much new info is there on the internet. So much for the rest of the internet, where I will continue to try and collect meaningful data for this page.

For the pedia I have no complaints save the (smile for the camera: joke arriving) fact that the wiki software told me that God lacks sufficient citation. I'm not a beleiver or anything, but I know some people who would be offended. --Ohadaloni 17:46, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Nerve Racking Copyright question

I had a max audience of two with the guitar so far.

I'd like this text in the wikipedia somehow:

http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0006-3185(196910)137:2%3C332:RPNS(H%3E2.0.CO;2-W

It is about to be lost in the shelves of too much chaotic knowledge, and it seems like almost the reason for which wikimedia called itself a foundation.

What are the copyright issues, if any? Do I need to contact the source if I want permission to take the photo as is? If I just summarize some text, citing and referencing the source, are there any copyright considerations? How reliable can this be if the source later disappears? Is this also a verifiability concern? Are there any wikipedia general guidlines as to the reliabilty level of external links? (e.g. google rank...)?

The content of the text, a description of a historic dive where this fish was first discovered, is not relevant to these questions. I have yet to scrutiny it myself, regardless of the outcome of these discussions. --Ohadaloni 19:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Is there a way to reference the http://en.wiktionary.org/ pages in the wikipedia, without showing the external link symbol. (Or, are there any future plans to make these two a single unit of cross-rferencing in this respect?) (It is somewhat of importance to be able to read text fluently, while difficult terms can be easily accessed.) --Ohadaloni 03:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm lost

How is the page written for Printsmadeeasy "insignificant" and the one written for Vistaprint significant? It seems somewhat elitist to say "you belong, but not you" ... help me understand, please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SynTalk (talk • contribs)

Am I responding in the right location?

Yes, you approved one, but not the other. I'm not posting spam. It is a legitimate entry. Just do the research if need be. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SynTalk (talk • contribs)

Leuko

Yes, but Leuko is deleting the post altogether without giving it proper consideration. I thought that speedy deletion meant that it would not be reviewed, which is what I want. Thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SynTalk (talk • contribs)

Clarification

Sorry, when I said, "you" ... I mean the Wikipedia editors. You've been very helpful. I'm just new to the protocol as it's very confusing. I've submitted legitimate information, and it's insulting when someone deletes the work you've produced.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SynTalk (talk • contribs)

Warnings to a vandal about being reported to the admins

Hello - saw your message here and thought you might be interested to learn that there have been some pretty strong views expressed against templates that leave similar messages here and here - the basic theme being that it could encourage vandals to speed up before they're blocked. Just thought I'd mention it for future reference; otherwise, keep up the good work! Regards, Bencherlite 01:48, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Yours, Bencherlite 01:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment by sockpuppet

Please help me with this editor Eleemosynary he thinks I'm some kind of "sockpuppet"[1]. He has no reason or proof and for his own personal reasons, just came out of the blue and hit my user page with his vandalism and personal attack on me. I am not any one he knows and need to be better behaved. ThanksVictorCharles 01:26, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Twinkler. Sorry you had to deal with this sockpuppet of JoeHazelton. He's used over 100 socks and has been caught every time.[2] Thank goodness for checkusers. (I've redone the above heading, as it was a personal attack.) Take care. Eleemosynary 07:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Greetings, I was wondering if you could go to this Afd and provide any input possibly? Thanks --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 13:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

bow Thank you for your comments. I know the user is partial to the article (as you can tell on TerrisFan's userpage) cuz he is from Vermont, and TerrisFan is going to support him, because he/she is his adopter, but I don't see how they can even fathom how their arguments establish notariety. Oh well. I found a couple more VT daily newspapers that are completely un-notable and I think I'll nominate them later today. Cya around --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 14:30, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Of course I'm partial to the article: this paper has quite an impact on my day-to-day life, so it is important to me. I think Terriers is a guy, btw, as am I. I suppose we shall have to do battle on the other articles too...(saddened sigh)...oh well. We'll see what happens. Ben 21:30, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow, the discussion on this article is getting hot, I see the nomination has been withdrawn? What will happen next? --♫Twinkler4♫ ^{(Talk to me!)} 13:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey --♫Twinkler4♫ ^{(Talk to me!)}, Thank you for the update! However, to be honest, once I make my comments I usually do not follow up with motoring the page unless I really have strong feelings one way or the other. In this case, I was torn on which way to go, and have found in 99.9% of the cases regarding these situations Wikipedia editors always make the right decision. If not, I will advice the author to resubmit in a month or two. Thanks again. ShoesssS ^Talk 02:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Message you left on an IP address page

When I signed on today I saw this message, which was I thought was curious since I don't usually edit under a naked IP address. I'm guessing this was someone else from my ISP. Just a small note: it would have been nice to have some context, like a link to the specific edit that was reverted or something. No big deal, just a small courtesy. +ILike2BeAnonymous 16:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

No need for apology; I should have looked at the date of that message. Just shows how getting a certain IP when one logs on is like throwing dice or spinning a roulette wheel. Cheers. +ILike2BeAnonymous 16:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

you asked...

How to spell something on Crockspot's RFA. Argumental is not the right meaning in this case. The variation you're probably looking for is argumentative. Cheers, VanTucky ^(talk) 17:14, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

!vote

Hey, I saw your edit to Wikipedia:Administrators [4] and have reverted it. "!vote" is the proper phrase; the exclimation mark means, in computer programming terms, roughly "not" (for more information, see !#Computers). "!vote" is a way of saying "this isn't a vote, but I don't have a better phrase for it".

Hope that cleared things up. EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:45, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
