User talk:GoodDay

This user is one of the 4000 most active English Wikipedians of all time.

Hello to all fellow Wikipedians. Be assured I'll be as courteous as possible & hope to provide worthy answers to your questions (about wiki edits), I'm looking forward to meeting you. GoodDay 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC).

You may be wondering why my archives only start at August 2007. The reason: I didn't archive my pages before that date, I merely deleted them (as I didn't know how to archive). Therefore, if anyone wishes to see material before August 2007? check out this talk-page's 'history'.

I've a secondary userpage called User:GoodDay/My stuff, which is where 'my stuff' has been transfered from my Userpage.

Slowing Down

I'm trimming down my time on Wikipedia & so will be around sporadically. My Wiki-addiction is disrupting my real-life. GoodDay (talk) 17:39, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

In about a weeks time, I'll be retiring. Scroll down for explantion. GoodDay (talk) 13:37, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Most active Wikipedians?

Is this what they mean by being active or is your activity mainly confined to horizontal gymnastics?

The irony, I'll be off-line for a few days (maybe a week). See ya'll then. GoodDay (talk) 18:24, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

OK, take care, GoodDay. See ya.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:25, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Every one deserves a Wikibreak! — Robert Greer (talk) 21:10, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

GoodDay, you will be coming back? Don't abandon us, please.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:28, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm back, folks. GoodDay (talk) 22:45, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Nice to have you with us.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:45, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. GoodDay (talk) 10:44, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

So when is the Big Move?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:23, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

It occured 4 days ago. GoodDay (talk) 15:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and do you like your new quarters?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:35, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Yep, though I'm hoping for some female companionship. Meanwhile, I can't go outside much, until I get a tooth extracted. GoodDay (talk) 15:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:16, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Yep, just moved & began having a tooth ache. GoodDay (talk) 11:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Ouch! Get it pulled ASAP; until then a ball of cotton saturated with clove oil will soothe the pain.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 12:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm currently on medication. GoodDay (talk) 12:14, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

You'll have to wait until the infection passes before you can get your tooth extracted which is why I suggested clove oil. Oh, we had another earthquake here yesterday evening. It occurred as I was editing an article. I must be the only Wikipedian who made an edit during an actual earthquake. Now is that not true dedication?!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:10, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Wowsers, that's shaky stuff. GoodDay (talk) 14:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

It's damned scary stuff.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:49, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

That I can believe. GoodDay (talk) 15:50, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

My son was in the bathtub when it happened-he jumped out soaking wet and rushed into the living room wearing a towel and a very frightened expression!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

It's moments like that, where one realizes his/her life is at the mercy of nature. GoodDay (talk) 19:01, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

You hit the nail on the head! It's a helpless feeling that one cannot do anything but wait and see whether nature is going to stop or just shake harder and deadlier.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:10, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Yep, the Earth has no consciene. GoodDay (talk) 19:15, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Can the EU be said to have a 'geography'?

Would you like to look at this discussion:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:European_Union#EU_has_a_geography.3FAndrewing123 (talk) 11:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't bother

With Factocop he has been told about indenting before and he just cant figure out how to do it. I have stopped interacting on the talk page per WP:DENY as no matter what is said is not going to work, at present he has no consensus for the changes he made and continuing on the discussion is pointless IMO. Mo ainm~Talk 16:21, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I too am growing tired with his apparent stubborness. You're correct, there's nothing further that can be added to the discussion, as he certainly has no consensus for pipelinking. GoodDay (talk) 16:23, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

He has been blocked as he went and reverted again after Sarek telling him not to, I am taking the page off my watchlist as I can't be doing with him. Mo ainm~Talk 19:03, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Factocop is Wiki-young & inexperienced about the workings of Wikipedia. If he chooses to learn things the difficult way? so be it. GoodDay (talk) 19:07, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Factocop Wiki-young, I don't think so. Factocop and Blue is better are  Confirmed with regards to each other according to MuZemike. Pilgrimsquest was  Confirmed that this account is the same as Factocop (talk · contribs) by Tnxman307. So regardless of the The Maiden City they are still a sock and block evading editor. I've asked for some clarity on this here. --Domer48_'fenian' 19:40, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Blasted socks, grrr. GoodDay (talk) 19:42, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

How the heck did Factocop get unblocked? GoodDay (talk) 19:53, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Good question! As has been pointed out by Elen of the Roads, "Somehow he [factocop] then persuaded Shell Kinney that although he socked as Pilgrisquest, and apparently edits in the same IP range as the Maiden City, and he edits just like the Maiden City, he isn't the Maiden City." This does not include the sock Blue is best which was also linked to Factocop, and the above mentioned which they admitted to having.! --Domer48_'fenian' 21:19, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

All socked out, for the time being--Domer48_'fenian' 23:35, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't ya know, I had to wash out socks today. Jumpin' Junipers, why can't these blocked editors take a break from trying to stur trouble? GoodDay (talk) 23:45, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

My personal experience when one is washing socks is that sooner or later in the mysterious nether world between the washing and drying proccesses, one of each pairs somehow gets lost.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:49, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Giggle giggle. GoodDay (talk) 16:26, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

The tooth shall set you free. Yep, I've one less tooth, no more agonies. GoodDay (talk) 16:26, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah.....relief, sweet blessed relief.... makes me think of this marvelous Rolling Stones song Let It Loose!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:01, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Appointment in Samarra

This just shows that in the end, one cannot escape his or her destiny. We all have an appointment in Samarra. Suki's was postponed for 14 and a half years.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:00, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

The only destiny we all have is 'death'. GoodDay (talk) 15:04, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

And before that wondrous event-old age.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:13, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

We can only hope. GoodDay (talk) 18:16, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Okposo & Streit back in the line-up?!

These guys have not been cleared to start skating yet! None of the three players were listed on the gameday roster:

Okposo's arm is still in a sling. Raul17 (talk) 06:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Yikes, assumed they were, when I noticed the IR tags were deleted. GoodDay (talk) 15:09, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello GoodDay

What's the good word as we used to say in California circa 1975?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:33, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, Giacomo is diving into the Rlevse situation. LemonMonday & LevenBoy are having an RFC on British Isles usage. As for me, I've been rinsing with salt-water (yuck) during my dental recovery. GoodDay (talk) 19:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Plus, Her Majesty continues to reign over all of us in Her Maple Kingdom...! ;) Dphilp75 (talk) 07:25, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

A tragedy indeed. GoodDay (talk) 15:02, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Kate Middleton

I wonder what Diana would have thought about Kate as William's prospective bride? I think she's attractive with a very upper-class, cool style.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Diana would've likely approved. No more waity katey. GoodDay (talk) 19:33, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I suspect you are correct.. I actually have a number of problems with Diana and hold a rather unpopular opinion of her, but I have no doubt in my mind that she would be happy if William was happy.. Dphilp75 (talk) 21:25, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Diana wasn't the type of mother she tried to be portrayed as. She was more concerned about her own pleasure, right to the end. GoodDay (talk) 21:28, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

GoodDay, that's a very macho, chauvinistic attitude to take. So what if Diana wished to go on holiday and enjoy herself! What was she expected to do stay at home all day and wash her sons' socks and shirts?!! My parents used to always go on holidays together. I was left at home with my siblings who were all much older than me. I never felt neglected nor was I!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:30, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

She was a phoney baloney. The bulimia story was the worst, when one considers the number of starving people in the world. GoodDay (talk) 14:22, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

What does that have to do with her as a mother?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:58, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

She often tried to portray herself as a better parent then Charlie. Which she wasn't. PS: Giggle giggle, I knew I'd get ya peeved. GoodDay (talk) 15:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm never peeved by a difference of opinion. LOL. For the record, I never thought Charles was a bad father; in fact, his behaviour at the time of Diana's death was impeccable. He didn't once put a wrong foot forward. I'm a huge fan of Charles, no matter how uncool that makes me appear in the eyes of the trendy world!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:56, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm guessing that Billy & Kate's wedding won't be as extravagent as Charlie & Diana's was. It'll likely be somewhere's in size between Charlie/Diana's & Charlie/Camilla's weddings. GoodDay (talk) 16:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe the wedding of William and Kate will attract more viewers than the other weddings, due to globalisation and the Internet.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, what a differance from 1981. GoodDay (talk) 16:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't able to watch Diana and Charles' wedding as I was at work. I just caught the highlights on the evening news. I was living in Dublin at the time and practially everybody there watched it if they had access to a tv set!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:32, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Dublin? right in the heart of a republic. GoodDay (talk) 17:46, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah. I can recall lots of girls getting their hair cut like lady Di back then.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:53, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Giggle giggle. GoodDay (talk) 17:58, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Just to go back to what GD was saying about Diana's parenting, he is quite correct. She used the boys wickedly as tools of revenge against Charles. For example, when Charles went to Hong Kong to deal with the hand over, he flew like crazy to get back to Scotland to spend his time with the boys.. When he got back, he found out that Diana had arbitrarily decided not to send them. When she and Charles divorced, she nailed him so hard that he actually had to borrow money from his mother to pay her off.. I'm *NOT* suggesting that Charles was a great husband (though, by all accounts, he's been a great Dad), however, Diana playing these games with the boys seeing their Father and attempting to bankrupt him during the divorce HARDLY plays in to her very carefully crafted image as "The People's Princess"..

Votes

Hi. You made one of those automatic votes/polls work once, didn't you. I think it was you. How do you do it? I am trying at United Ireland. --LevenBoy (talk) 05:49, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Whatcha mean, exactly? GoodDay (talk) 07:49, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, I worked it out by using # signs. I appreciate your GoodWill GoodDay but if I need help or mentoring, I will come and ask. No need for all the personal prompting and alerts, thanks. If I am addressing someone specifically, like Cailil, please allow them to answer. --LevenBoy (talk) 15:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

No probs, just making sure ya don't get blocked again. Rightly or wrongly, you & LemonMonday have to be more careful in your actions & posts, concerning the British Isles stuff. Remember, some of the other BISE dwellers, are more sensative then I. GoodDay (talk) 15:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

You are right, but remember I am not under any formal sanctions. I did agree to be more civil, but that's all. LemonMonday Talk 17:23, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah, that was Triton Rocker, who was on sanctions. GoodDay (talk) 21:28, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

You're an early riser this fine morning, GoodDay. Did the twittering birds wake you? What time is it where you are?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:54, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Insominia has gotten to me, it's nearly 4:00 AM AST, wowsers. GoodDay (talk) 07:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

It's 8.55 AM here.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:56, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

You're 5 hrs ahead of me. GoodDay (talk) 07:58, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Oui. Oh, GoodDay, I'd like your input over here on an article I've created and been working on a lot recently. Talk:Margaret de Clare.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

What about Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere? -- GoodDay (talk) 08:07, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

She was imprisoned for having refused Queen Isabella admittance to Leeds Castle and ordering her archers to fire upon Isabella. This amde her the first ever female to be imprisoned in the Tower of London. There are two issues which I have raised on her talk page. What is your opinion about them?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm confused, there's 2 'Margaret de Clare' articles. GoodDay (talk) 08:23, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

This one is about Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere. The other is about Margaret de Clare, wife of Edward's first favourite Piers Gaveston.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:29, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Okie Dokie. I gonna go ta bed, I'm becoming psychotic. GoodDay (talk) 08:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

OK Good night..oops GOOD MORNING!!! (Don't let the little birdies keep you awakey).--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:48, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

No more Margaret de Clare for at least 24 hours!!!

Jeanne Boleyn pursued by the relentless ghosts of Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere and the Lords Ordainers

I see you're awake again! I have been doing so much editing on Margaret de Clare that if I see the name Ordainer, garrison, Despenser, or Contrariant again within the next 24 hours I will scream like a banshee and tear chunks of my hair out.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:04, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

It could've been worst. They came after Edward II with a hot poker. GoodDay (talk) 13:43, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Those Mortimers were meanies.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:46, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Roger Mortimer's action sealed his fate. GoodDay (talk) 13:49, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

They always say women pay a higher price than men for their follies, but in the cases of Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere and Isabella of France, it was their menfolk who suffered the most (OUCH!!!)--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:56, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't a good time for the guys, to be sure. GoodDay (talk) 14:03, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

John Boehner

Yes, I understand it comes from the Full house vote, but the speaker always comes from the majority party. No one in the Republican caucus will vote for Pelosi, so therefore, it is appropriate to say he is Speaker-elect. And I know others will agree with me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Politics2012 (talk • contribs) 21:21, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Please wait until the Speakership election is held (Jan 2011). Right now, the Democrats still have the majority in the House. GoodDay (talk) 21:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Greetings -- regarding [1], I just shut off his talk page access. Antandrus (talk) 19:49, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. The imposter was also a sock-puppet, as he/she new his/her way around the 'pedia. GoodDay (talk) 19:50, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

G'day~!

Hi, I don't think we've met, eh? (PS: I do sign all, if not most, of my posts but thanks for telling me that a cheeky monkey impostor didn't. BTW, the impostors like to follow User:Baseball Bugs around, I don't normally do that if I can help it even though we've always crack heaps of wise-arse jokes together.) --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 03:07, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

No probs. I've been the victim of imposters too, years ago. I ain't never met ya before, but I know Bugs. GoodDay (talk) 03:50, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Another thing, this comment by you was strange... the guy (referring to TT) is not even a SysOp here on WP and IMO, may never be nominated, if at all. Reason: too many blackmarks already on his block logs. Oh well, what say we get back to our siriuz bizniz of editing here on WP? Best. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 04:28, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I thought TT was an administrator. GoodDay (talk) 04:31, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, I know that and even though some people might like to act like one, it never hurt to ask: "are you an Admin?". (Read also: WP:OWB#22) Cheers~!

Cameron (whom I haven't seen around in a long time) wanted to nominate me fro administrator, years ago. I had to giv'em a Shermanistic response. GoodDay (talk) 04:44, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah, you should also read up on WP:OWB#25, SysOp Antandrus is very spot on in his assessment of these low-lifes. lol* --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 04:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

He's got good material. GoodDay (talk) 04:53, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Injured Reserve

I do believe that the official team sites are not reliable for listing players on IR. Saturday's Islanders game vs the Florida Panthers shows the Islanders with an active roster of twenty-two players: http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20102011/RO020286.HTM
Furthermore, the monthly Islanders transactions and team depth chart from The Sporting News shows those players on IR:

http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/movements.cgi?nyi&x_date=201009 SEPT
http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/movements.cgi?nyi&x_date=201010 OCT
http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/movements.cgi?nyi&x_date=201011 NOV
http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/depthchart.cgi?nyi&x_type=2&x_cat=1 ACTIVE ROSTER

Since this also occurs with the Devils site, I am assuming that all team sites are unreliable for IR info. I could not find an Injured Reserve list from the NHL site. From my understanding, until the trade deadline, the NHL roster is a maximum twenty-three players; all others must be assigned to the minors/juniors or placed on IR list. Raul17 (talk) 06:09, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I've completely lost track on the Islanders. If Streit & Okposo are still on IR, then it's likely those other A's are temporary. I haven't the energy anymore, to argue it. GoodDay (talk) 11:46, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
