Revision as of 08:58, 4 January 2012

This is an essay.

It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints.

Shortcuts

Note that drinking tea is only a metaphor; if you are living in the heat you can take a nice cold drink; if these aren't your style, you can sit around a fire and drink beer. If you hate all of these drinks, maybe a nice hot cocoa will do.

Wikipedians also recommend biscuits with tea

A nice cup of tea and a sit down is a chance to declare publicly what you appreciate about other members of the community or their contributions. As Thumper's mother said: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. That rather idealistic concept is the fundamental rule on this page. The goal is to create goodwill and perhaps assist the dispute resolution processes that occurs on other pages – or, if we're lucky, avoid disputes at all.

Of course, this page should not replace complimenting people directly on their talk pages, or on article talk pages. A nice cup of tea and a sit down is for when things have gone beyond that, and there is a need for some more formal and serious niceness.

If you get the urge to say something like "I think that such-and-such has worked really hard on Wikipedia, but...", you should stop there. The rule of thumb when making a compliment is to "stop at the but/however/although". Just the complimentary part, please.

When you're done pouring, you may want to leave the {{tea}} template on their talk page, so they know that their tea is ready.

Petaholmes is doing a great job maintaining the Did you know? template every day. violet/riga (t) 21:48, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to start things off with kudos to DocendoDiscimus, who has—quietly and without fanfare—amassed over 5000 article-namespace edits, all in the two months he's been here. He is systematically going over thousands of business- and finance-related articles, improving each and every one of them. Keep up the good work! Owen× ☎ 21:51, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
A huge compliment to SlimVirgin for somehow managing to not let all the accumalating stress get to her. Most people would have ran off after going through what she's been through. R e dwolf24 (talk) 04:43, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Agree to what you've said. :D IronBreww (talk) 03:33, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To those who consistently vote to delete articles on high schools and/or middle schools: I realize that the reason why you feel strongly about the whole thing is the same reason why I do — we care about Wikipedia and want what we think is best for it. I'm hoping that sometime we can come to the middle and achieve some non-duality, so here's a cup of reconciliation. Jacqui^★ 06:07, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
To User:Vitalyb for making Template:Satanism into a sexy little infobox. ♠PMC♠ 01:07, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've been a wikipedian for a little over a year now, and it still constantly amazes me how well it works. Sure, there are occasional blow-ups and vandals and such, but the loving maintenance of an astounding group of volunteers have made this dream into a reality. To quote Young Mr. Grace, "you've all done very well!" Grutness...wha? 09:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to thank Thunderbrand because even though I'm a newcomer, and made a totally srewed over mistake and almost destroyed an article in which he spent the utmost care in, he calmly explained to me what I did wrong and fixed everything. Go Thunder! (dee 04:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]
To Dismas for helping me not look like an incompetent boob on my user page for great justice! Cernen Xanthine Katrena 10:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Matt Crypto was ridiculously good at being able to hold his temper at another user over what became (as I saw it) an increasingly frustrating debate in which the user continually failed to assume good faith. I was close to dropping any pretense of civility on the users talk page, but upon reading an entry by matt, realised that such behaivor would be fruitless. Cheers.--jfg284 ^{you were saying?} 01:41, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
User:Flcelloguy is mentoring one of wikipedias most difficult editors (who i wont name here). its a hard and thankless task. i cant make it less hard, but i can make it less thankless here... thanks Flcelloguy :) BL kiss the lizard 03:22, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ambi has written many excellent and interesting articles, such as Richmond railway station, Melbourne. Good work. JesseW, the juggling janitor 02:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
#wikipedia is most friendly and responsive place on the internet. thanks Spencerk 09:25, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Knowledge Seeker দ is one of the kindest people imaginable. For an example of superhuman politeness and restraint, have a look at User talk:Knowledge Seeker#EXCUSE ME.21. I wish to remain anonymous to spare his embarrassment.

All the people who wanted to downplay the fact that depleted uranium causes Gulf War syndrome have good qualities. --James S. 05:24, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I love you! 'Who?' I hear you ask. Well, you! All of you! No, I'm not really kinky. No, I'm not hopelessly unfaithful. I am, in fact, just hopelessly naïve, and like telling people how much they kick @#!*% .
Thanks to User:Iantresman for being persistent but affable in supporting dissemination of fringe ideas. zowie 18:33, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to TheKMan for unknowingly leading me to this page where I cooled off after a heated discussion a few minutes ago. Rosa 07:23, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The users who want to remove all references to War crimes from the Slobodan Milošević article simply because he died before he could be convicted surely have positive qualities as well. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 22:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Portal:Portugal is more than one month old, thanks to Joaopais and all the others (excluding me). By now it is showing delays in the updating of the data, after all, it's Portugal! Next step to make it the most realistic page in wikipedia:
Try to make it exceed the budget by 1000%... the good Portuguese way. Afonso Silva 23:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to thank everyone at #vandalism-en-wp for being nothing but welcoming and helpful to newcomers; hats off to you all. T. J. Day 14:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Even though a few of us have been struggling with 999 recently, this user has made some fine edits, has great knowledge of Wikipedia, and is clearly dedicated to improving all the Thelema-related articles. When the "good-faith" and "compromise" functions are switched on, articles tend to improve, as we've all been showing. Frater5 17:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's time all the editors of Charles Whitman had a well-deserved cup of tea, for comrades Jareha, Katefan0, Chesschamp21, Johntex, Woohookitty and everybody else. The article is a good example of a variety of Wikipedia editors working together, through agreement and disagreement, to make the article great over the past 6 months - all while keeping their cool through continued trolling. For all you do, this bud's for you. Sherurcij ^{(talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject)} 00:07, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

May 2006

I think EVERYONE who has contributed to any part of Wikipedia and/or the Wikimedia foundation should sit down and have a nice cup of tea for expanding, even if just a little bit, how far human knowleage can go if we all put our heads together. Congrats everyone! Spyco 05:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I had a very enjoyable experience a moment or two ago. See, I created the article matkot, which is still a stub, but nonetheless... having quoted a resource from a travel guide to Israel (don't worry, I'll cite it as soon as I get my hands on a copy again) I was then re-quoted by national newspaper HaAretz.. see this page. Isn't that nice :-) Matthew Platts 16:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I usually have rotten days over here where I reside, but not today. I just completed expanding and referencing Zero (Mega Man) and Mega Man X (character) (with proper citations even!) after they failed GA status about a month ago. Why, I even encountered the Keiji Inafune article on a tour of the wiki and greatly expanded that as well. I feel quite optimistic about the latter two, so I'll re-summit them for GA status. And if they don't make it, I can always make another attempt. -Zero^Talk 17:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just another comment. I think praise should be offered to The Land, The JPS and Xezbeth for always being consistently fantastic. Matthew Platts 10:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

June 2006

I want to keep the trend of having compliments every month, so here's my compliment: PHAEDRIAL: You are a very kind and polite contribu-TOR. When I sent you that e-mail, you replied in such an enthusiastic way that I would have never expected. Please run for adminship so I can support you. —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 04:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

July 2006

My thanks and appreciation to all the editors who have been working on Democratic Underground who came together, despite their vast differences of opinion, to achieve and to honor community consensus and to end the disputes on the article. Well done, everyone -- that's how Wikipedia should work! - CheNuevara 20:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The credit goes mainly to you, Che, for bringing the warring parties together and acting as a, well, voice of reason. VoiceOfReason 21:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would just like to thank the good people of Wikipedia for making me feel welcome after a very, very long absence. I promise to pull more weight around here from now on. Jacqui ^★ 18:17, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SlimVirgin, Thatcher131, and Vic226 deserve praise for rightfully putting an unregistered anti-Semite in his/her place on reguards to the AMIA bombing. --GHcool 01:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to thank Daniel Olsen for adopting me and helping me through a minor technical mystery (to me, anyway), and helping me find projects that interest me. Marialadouce | parlami 21:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Even though User:Thryduulf and I are on opposite sides of a contentious issue right now, at an unrelated place he gave me a nice compliment on my closing of an AfD. That shows real class and deserves a lovely cup of tea. Herostratus 23:44, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I wish to unite Esperanzians and Non-Esperanzians, Pro-Esperanza and Anti-Esperanza, together for the encyclopedia. I hope that the MFD does not tear the community apart, and I wish goodwill for all contributors. If you are hurt by Esperanza's potential fate, please don't leave over it. That would be antithetical to your mission: keeping everyone together. Please stay for the encyclopedia's sake. ★MESSEDROCKER★ 01:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Messedrocker, these comments are both reasonable and kind, both constructive and sincere. Have a cup of your own tea, friend: this is how all Wikipedians should strive to be. - Che Nuevara 18:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wikipedia, please stay classy, kick @#!*% , and fight crime in 2007. ★MESSED ROCKER★ 05:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Over the last year, I let off a lot of steam in regards to sourcing of articles and just plain Rambled on deletion debates. To everyone annoyed about that, I'm just saying I'm sorry. I try to seek compromises but sometimes I'm just plain dumb. Apologies to everyone whose time I've wasted by making them read mountains of stupid rambling. Sorry, it's a really annoying habit that I just can't shake... [Eh, hit save when I was supposed to hit preview.] Anyway, I still wish to compliment everyone who demands accurate sourcing and all; I only disagree with the source paranoia that seems to be prevalent these days. I believe sourcing and accuracy is important. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've only just started editing Wikipedia heavily. At first, I thought the level of vandalism was frankly depressing - but now I see that for every vandal, there are two great editors to revert it. Great job folks! Angus Lepper 00:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I copied Nearly Headless Nick's user header and made it my own on my user page. I wouldn't have been able to do it without looking at NHN's example. —Malber (talk • contribs) 14:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Old-fashioned edit counter seems to be working again. I just refound it. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 03:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is still not as accurate as wannabe_kate; it still has a huge gap of lag time. Vic226_(chat) 02:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While that is true, I thank Interiot for providing such excellent tools nonetheless, and wish that person a speedy recovery. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 14:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow--thank you! This also happens to be a really nice piece of wiki that I hadn't come across yet (or had and forgotten), and as someone who has recently started to drink tea, I can attest that just the suggestion brought a smile to my face. Miss Mondegreen talk 22:11, May 13 2007

Can I be (I hope) gallant and not sexist and suggest that Miss M should pour .. well done all Victuallers 15:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You can, especially since a name is just a name (though mine is rather literary, ain't it ;)), but I should warn you that I'm a fair hand at spilling, so you may want to select someone without fresh battle wounds of hot liquid. Ah! Now that's what this page needs...a picture of oven mitts! Toasty, pretty, and protective! Tea, biscotti and protective gear. That's all a lady of the green could ever ask for.

Thanks to all the reference desk contributors who provide me with a dose of knowledge every day.
4u1e has worked so very hard within the Formula One Wikiproject and has improved countless articles. But the main reason why I am mentionning him here is because he provided me with so much help and assistance during my time here, especially during my first few months. I couldn't have done what I have done to Wikipedia, and inparticularly, the Toyota F1 article without his advice. A Wikipedian of the very finest. Lra drama 09:35, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've been an editor here for 4 years and 7 months, and an administrator for all but the first five of those.

February 2009

Recently, there has been a great deal of controversy over flagged revisions. The people supporting flagged revs believe that it is inappropriate to allow vandalism to run rampant on BLPs, perhaps even if stopping such vandalism requires a less open philosophy. Those opposed feel that our "anyone can edit" ideals are more fundamental and more important than our reliability. Recently, the issue was exacerbated by vandalism on the Ted Kennedy article (among at least one other that I can think of). Jimbo publicly requested that the developers enable flagged revisions in response to this vandalism. Except for the vandals, every single person involved in this has the 'Pedia's best interest at heart, and is actively trying to help in some way or another. The only difference between these people is a difference of opinion over which configuration (or lack thereof) would best serve the Wiki's interests. --Thinboy00 @076, i.e. 00:49, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

September 2009

I have learned a lot from several editors since coming here, especially Benjiboi, Yobmod and Rebecca. Coppertwig was very helpful when I found myself in an edit war situation. Even editors I have clashed with have their good sides: Born Gay, for example, does hear what is said, and when we have disagreed, I have found him accommodating some aspect of my point after a few days. JoshuaJohnson I don't often agree with, but I have not found him offensive or difficult to work with, and he is willing to find a way of arriving at an agreed edit. Destinero I find difficult, because while I might be sympathetic to some of his edits, he goes about editing in a very confrontational way, so while I might want to support him I find at times I cannot because it does not conform to what is expected of editors. Tobit2 is somebody I quite enjoy editing with, even if we have some divergent views, because he is always willing to accept a solution if it ticks all the right boxes in terms of policy and guidelines. James Cantor is somebody I have certain issues with outside the encyclopedia, and specifically on one particular article, but I have come to respect the way he approaches editing on another article we are both involved with. Oh yeah, Cameron, I didn't like the way he cut out the deadwood at first, but now I think he has a cool approach, and wish I could be as ruthless. I do aspire to editing in ways that conform to policy and guidelines, and have found it hard to place my own interests in second place to NPOV in a way that produces better articles and improves the encyclopedia - to this end, I have learned that avoiding WP:SYNTH, and WP:OR are very important, in conjunction with WP:RS. I am sure that there are editors I have not mentioned, and only one or two of those will be because I cannot think of a good word to say for them - but I am grateful to all those I have interacted with and come to learn from. Sorry if this is a bit long. Mish (talk) 22:47, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not philosophy, but science: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2003/jun/25/science.highereducation

Executive summary: Milk first, to allow it to heat gradually as the tea is poured into it. Crucial quote: "Dr Stapley is adamant. 'If milk is poured into hot tea, individual drops separate from the bulk of the milk, and come into contact with the high temperatures of the tea for enough time for significant denaturation - degradation - to occur. This is much less likely to happen if hot water is added to the milk.'" Bricaniwi (talk) 11:42, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

##Chzz - I just asked a simple question, for a non-controversial, edit-related "straw poll" over a section heading - and Demiurge1000, Sven_Manguard, Zscout370, and Blurpeace all gave me instant help and we sorted it out. I love it when Wikipedia works that way. It takes my mind off all the controversial, crazy-stuff; it keeps it real; back to editing real articles, coming up with solutions thought consensus and discussion, making Wikipedia just that little-bit-better. So, they all deserve a nice cuppa. Thanks, dudes; it is appreciated, always. Chzz ► 23:00, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
