Comment
can we get a picture of John Lennon in bed with the "bed peace" sign for this page? ;-) -- Tarquin 08:53 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
- Okay, but I don't see what a corpse has to do with love. *Grabs a flashlight and shovel* Where's he buried? :P--Kross 21:38, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
I am not sure what is meant by the term ordering. Surely this is much more a continual process of rearrangement which reflects life rather an approaching some abstract ideal of what an ideal might be if it were not an ideal. Harry Potter.
- More like getting Ash's pic along with Pikachu? It did say the start of their friendship... Pokemon Buffy Titan (talk) 11:45, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Right about now, I could use some wikilove. I hope there is a good article about hangovers, but I am not up to editing it. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 22:50 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Does love relieve hangover?! Or is Wikilove a gift unlike any other? --Menchi 23:02 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I don't know. maybe it travels the whole world round. Sorry, have to go barf now -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 23:45 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Can we eliminate this faux-hippy ness from Wikipedia?? i'm actually trying to study and write papers off of this wonderful site and i really would appreciate it if it didn't adopt a cult-like status of wiki-love, whnich would undoubtedly interfere and corrupt its premise for the freedom of information.

In praise of Wikipedia editors
(from the Wikipedia:Village pump)
Yesterday I wrote an article on Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani nuclear engineer. I uploaded it shortly before 8pm UTC. Only 16 hours later, it's already received a variety of useful edits from seven other editors. I think this is amazing - Wikipedia's editing community is incredibly responsive. It's a great tool, but it's the energy and enthusiasm of the contributors, so visible in this instance, which have made it so successful. Long may it continue. :-) -- ChrisO 13:01, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- It's a great job, by all concerned. If only Igor "The Beard" Kurchatov were as good. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 13:22, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Anyone for Great beards of the 20th century? I see a great need... :D -- ChrisO 15:09, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Or here... - Woodrow 00:22, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I have been floored in my whole Wiki week here by several things--the wonderful wiki markup that makes it so easy to do the necessary work, the instantaneous way in which the links become real (ok, when the servers aren't struggling their little behinds off), the ability to go in and clean up stuff, even minor, that you happen to notice, the tools for monitoring what's going on in every concievable manner, and the awesome community that has been nothing but supportive of me and my novice questions. Wiki, I love you, man! (OK, that's a little overdone--) Elf
Wikipedia is simply the best!
(from the village pump) Above all, if one needs mathematical or scientific information, Wikipedia is simply the best, which brought the Web out in the last years. There are to some extent understandable, clear and extensive explanations to (nearly) each topic. Still to it the whole is free. It is fascinating that also in the today's Spam and garbage and troll contaminated Web still another project instructed on voluntariness, self-check and co-operation survive can.
Further so, Wikipedia!
- Thank you! :) --mav 11:07, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

This is a Beautiful Concept
I just learned about WikiLove. Is this an oldschool idea or a well known one? Swilk 08:22, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, while obviously better than wikihate, wikilove sometimes looks over the top or even insincere. I prefer cool-headed, courteous bluntness to cloying, sugary affectation. (Except perhaps to new users) nadav 07:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
I know this isn't an article....
but WP:OBVIOUS still applies IMO. As such, shouldn't the first sentence end with "among Wikipedians"? VanTucky (talk) 02:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- How about "among users", which could include other Wiki projects and people who are just starting too. Rhanyeia 16:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- sounds good to me. Maybe "among wiki users". Just to be even more obvious. VanTucky (talk) 18:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that sounds even better. Rhanyeia 12:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the input. VanTucky (talk) 21:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Encouragement!
The poster of this thread seems in need some support. Please provide a word of encouragement to 64.39.136.55! Thanks. -- Jreferee (Talk) 05:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Please change this
to wiki friendship because it's quite ambarassing to say that you're promoting wikilove to a guy(just simply uncomfratable with that) thanks :| 84.250.110.93 18:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Maxim would benefit from some WikiLove. See this. -- Jreferee (Talk) 18:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
GA review
You are a truly nice person and a great GA reviewer. See the Larry Mullen talk page... --andreasegde 16:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Removal of WikiLove flowchart
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Difficult_editor_-_flow_chart.png/220px-Difficult_editor_-_flow_chart.png)
I'm curious why this would be removed from the project page. As I see it, a picture of a heart with the Wikipedia logo on it has 0 utility while the flowchart I created has (albeit not a lot) some utility. Not only that, it's a good process, and if people followed it Wikipedia would be a less stressful place. Additionally, this is an essay, and not a policy page, so what's the deal? Triddle 15:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- The chart is very well done. :) However, it concentrates on how to deal with negative things and WikiLove is not just that but how to deal with everyone. When I think about WikiLove it's not disruptive users or sock puppetry I first think about, and they are the first things to notice from the chart. The image on this essay now is already widely associated with WikiLove, and I think it includes exactly what WikiLove is about: WikiLove is not complicated, it's simple just like the image. But I also think the chart shouldn't be on a policy or guideline because it's not that exact, if you think about sock puppetry arrow it's not possible to know whether someone is doing that before the report, and overall, usually there are more than two yes/no options when a person acts. There may be some more suitable essay than WikiLove where it could be on. Maybe Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot which has no picture at all. :) Best regards Rhanyeia 08:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I don't understand this point of view. First, I made an attempt to label the chart as not official policy (the caption was "A guide to applying WikiLove towards another editor." vs "THE guide"). Second, why would someone need to go around and spread the words of Wikiquette, Wikipedia policies, NPOV, forgiveness, etc, in the absence of conflict? Third, you seem to be comprehending things from this essay that I"m not; does the essay need to be updated to reflect a more "spread Wikilove" all the time stance? I really only see it talking about conflict. BTW, these would have been great objections to note when you reverted. Triddle 14:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know what to say. What I wrote is how I think. I looked at many essay pages thinking where it would be best. I still think it's very well done, and looks great on Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot. Best regards Rhanyeia 14:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
FL Main page proposal
You nominated a current WP:FLC. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 16:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
