Congratulations on Wikimedia Labs position

I just read the note about your position with Labs and wanted to say I'm very happy to see you helping with the Labs project and the move of the toolserver stuff. It's really great to have somebody with the technical background and the experience with the community to help with this work. Congratulations. I think this will be very good for the project and I thank you for all the effort you've put in over the years. Best regards. 64.40.54.103 (talk) 17:49, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. There's a great deal of work ahead, but I'm confident we can make the Labs the ideal location for all of us toolmakers.  :-) — Coren ^(talk) 17:55, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand the difference between demonstrating citations and the citations themselves

Please read my question in reply to your response. I don't understand your policy. I used my Science Article and my discovery that circadian rhythms in the Limulus lateral eye are mediated by efferents as an example but the question applies to all of my discoveries. Thank you.

Unblock request at User_talk:Nahald#Auto_Blocked_Again

Could you have a look? You removed his IPBE, and now he's unable to edit again.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 00:24, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Football records in Spain page please

Hello ..

may you please take a look at football records in spain ,this page is containing various different records in Spanish football, the user : 49.244.108.56 keeps removing some of them because he believes they are not needed and if you took a look at what he adds or removes you can see he is doing that biasing since he is working hard to remove Barca records allowing only real records !! the 3 records i added are well referenced from the related club website and even classified clearly under national records even not just a club records !! so anything clearer than that even ?? how should someone opinion or even bunch of people opinion about it make a difference in that ?? its a clear case...the related club classified it as record , so if someone likes it or not it shouldn't stop being a record .

and since its referenced I can't see any reason to remove it .

the website : http://www.fcbarcelona.com/club/the-honours/detail/card/fc-barcelona-team-records

what is really weird...there is some records similar to those added ( like i added ) but he added them related to Real Madrid so obviously he doesn't have a clear measure in that.\

I tried sending other for help also but i found no response so far, I just think the whole thing is turning into a circus as that :) and for the protection of integrity of wikipedia someone should act in someway !! making it clear (neither way i dont care ) just don't leave it for somenoe to decide oh i hate this club so i dont want his records and im making my hard to remove them and bringing everyother possible records for the club i like ??! take a look at it please because this IP : 49.244.108.56 has long history of doing that !

he is the same range of ip from 49.244.125.32 also he is the same as 49.244.161.201 and by the way it's all belongs to a user has been blocked before but i dont know why they unblocked him again ! it's just as a circus as that

thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3878:81E0:58D7:E52F:61CB:51A1 (talk) 16:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

This article has already been discussed in the talk of both the article and in Wiki:Footy. Cherry picked stats and stats from a club's own website are not to be put until there is consensus. please take what you have to the talk.49.244.173.62 (talk) 05:52, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Santorum

Hi, this is an actual slang term. Why do you feel it's not? Insomesia (talk) 02:12, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Because it isn't. It's a political device, created by a commentator in order to attack a political opponent. I've no love for Sen. Santorum's cro-magnon stances either, but the term just isn't used in a context devoid of political commentary. There are a few members of the US gay community that make a point of using it specifically to spread the attack, and a great many activists that do their best to googlebomb the nonce to associate the derogatory term with the Senator (including here, on Wikipedia) – but it is not in actual use in non-activism context as genuine sexual slang. Wikipedia isn't a place to create or popularize new inventions of the sort, only to report on what independent, reliable sources report. — Coren ^(talk) 02:17, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I've only heard it used as slang but I see from the talkpage that this is a heated topic and that you have removed it from the template so I guess that must make it so. Insomesia (talk) 02:19, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

... and yet you've specifically added the {{LGBT slang}} template on the very article that describes the campaign creating the term? That's a little strange. — Coren ^(talk) 02:21, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Because the template had (until you just removed it) the slang term on it. Case closed. Insomesia (talk) 02:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
