Eros Labs speedy

I removed your speedy request from Eros Labs, which I assume you got to via Eros International in NPP; I redirected the new to the old. See the G-news hits; I don't think there is any question whatsoever that it is notable, even if the entry doesn't assert. 9Nak (talk) 13:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

thankspam

Thanks to everyone who participated in my RfA, regardless of their !vote. I have withdrawn the nomination as a failure at 19 supports, 45 opposes, and 9 neutral statements. As has been written and sung, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need — and what I need is to go back to working on our shared project. Not everyone has to be an admin; there is a role for each of us. After reflection, I feel I don't have the temperament to secure community consensus as an admin at any point, and I will not be applying again in the future — and hey, that's all right, 'cause I stay true to the philosophy that adminship is no big deal: I tried, I failed, and now I'll return to doing what I've always done. I have an extremely strong belief in the consensus process, and the consensus was clear. I will be devoting my energies to volunteering at MedCab and working up a complete series of articles on the short stories of Ernest Hemingway, among lord knows what else. Thanks again to everyone who spared the time to weigh in on this one. It was made in better faith than it probably seemed. Mr. IP 《Defender of Open Editing》 14:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Disrupting and creating DRAMAH wasn't my intention, but it looks like that's the overall verdict, so I'll just live with that. Anyway, maybe I just wasn't made to be an admin; we can't all be admins, after all. Hope to work w/ you in the future in my non-admin capacities. Cheers, Mr. IP 《Defender of Open Editing》 14:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for yours. I am glad that someone else cares as much about his work. There is plenty more information, but probably too much for an encyclopedia article. Colourman (talk) 16:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Sock case

All I would have to say is:
"you'll see..." Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:04, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

How would it be ridiculous? That sock operator sticks to the book each time, and when you look at Plagues Of Truth's edits, most of them are related to Singaporean actors (in this case, Huang Wenyong) and Western Fantasy/Power Ranger edits. The only edits outside of these two edits are made in regards to Keith deligero, a page whose deletion I proposed. The sock operator also targets pages that I edit sometimes.I can read the guy like a book, Ironholds. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

He has stalked me before. His socks reverted a lot of my reverts of his edits as "revenge attacks" in the past. He also created two impostor accounts that sounds similar to my account's name. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:13, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I can't believe it. I just feel like we are sitting there while the Japanese carriers are steaming to Pearl Harbor. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:18, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, I get the point. Let's wait it out, then. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 20:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Help with userpage?

Hi there. I was wondering if you could help me spiff up my userpage? I am still quite new on Wiki, so I am just learning the ropes. Thank you for any assistance you can provide! Silverwolf85 (talk) 20:52, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't remember exactly where I first saw your name. It kept coming up over the past couple of days, and I think the most recent was Mr. IP's RfA attempt.

As far as the spificatation... Let me think here. I did already take one idea from you (hope you don't mind) and added a personal Notes page. Also, I would like a way to organize user boxes as I add those. It's just that I see so many pages that are very cluttered with userboxes, and I don't want mine to end up that way. :) The main thing too, is I'd like to keep it simple, both so it isn't too hard to look at, and so I can easily edit/add/delete things in the future. One aspect of your own page that I liked about was the section up top with the different area links.

I hope this gives you some sort of idea. Please let me know what I can/need to do. That way I can learn a bit too. :) And if you're not too burned out by the end of it all, I'd like to improve my sig too...

Thank you so much for the help!!!

Silverwolf85 (talk) 02:19, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

3:33 AM huh? You really don't have a life, do you? :) The columns I like, to put a few of the main userboxes on my front page (like CVU, LoE, and such). I'd say 6 max. Then the rest, as I collect them anyway, would be cool on a page of their own. Awards, I'm not so worried about. So for the links: Talk, Notes (already created that one), Userboxes, Sandbox. As far as the background is concerned, a blue color, in the lighter range would be nice. And I suppose an archiving system would be good, especially as time goes on.

As far as vandalism. Yeah, that one reared it's ugly head a few days ago. As you can see, the very kind administrator Gb had to put semi protection on both of my pages for a few days, which expires later today if I remember right. Let's just say I upset a would be vandal by going and reverting one of his beautiful revisions, and it just went down hill from there.

The signature. Hmmm.... Can we do just dark blue for my name and dark green for my talk link? Nice and simple I think...

And with the adoption issue... If you're willing to, that would be awesome! Just so you know that after Aug 11, I will be cut down to logging in every two days or so, except for the weekends, which will leave me more time. I am a teacher, and out school begins on the 11th, so I'll have less free time on my hands...

Batales

Well, if no one is commenting on the issue, then we can probably merge them in good faith, provided, I feel, that we make a clear note in the talk page of what we did and if we made sure that the original article was backed up. In fact, I would add that we might do well, as a community, to make it our policy on old orders and families of plants-that they be merged into the history of the current (APG II) system. Exceptions being made where there is an extraordinary cause, i.e. an old order with a particularly meaningful history to it where a merge would be...distasteful. Beat Buddha (talk) 02:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Teaching and signatures....

Lol! I love the quote. And there are days when it can be soooooo true. :)

As far as the sig, can I keep the Silverwolf85(Talk) format, but have the colors run together throughout? Silverwolf85 (talk) 06:51, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I mean can you split the colors like yours, but spread it across the entire sig, and not just the username....

Speaking of morning coffee, I need to get up in six hours, so I better call it a night I'm afraid. I wont be back on till afternoon California time, so I'll talk with you later. Thank you again! I hope I haven't been too much of a hassle. :)

Well, it is much appreciated! Silverwolf85 (talk) 02:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: WikiUpdate

It would be great. I would like t use Skype while recording, in the event of an interview or discussion. if possible. You could also just do a news story. RedThunder 10:38, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I think 2010 is a very good idea. Record it and and I'll get it in the next show. As for the other show, this is just a new podcast. I kind of got fed up with the drama at RWP and decided to start my own while it is inactive (possible longer). RedThunder 10:47, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I'd like the segment recorded by 11:00 tomorrow (your time), because I record an hour later. I'm spreading the word by posting on the community portal, and adding a "subscription box" to it. Sykpe debate: great idea. I suggest we gather up users with a sizable age range and have discussion on age/admin. Others involved in the project: Mastrchf91, Shapiros10, Vhoschythe, Xenocidic (possible), and gears of War. RedThunder 11:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't have the equipment to record segments, but if you were up to it I could telephone in and we can do an actual conversation or interview (which often sounds more entertaining). Ecoleetage (talk) 16:08, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

No, I currently live on the East Coast of the USA. It is a four hour time difference if I were to ring you. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

No, regular phone. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Article merger

Hi - I don't mind which way round the merger is - I've tagged both articles. If Unlearned Parliament is indeed the name used in scholarly works, I can't imagine there would be an objections to merging into your new article. Warofdreams talk 10:56, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Wang Lao Ji

I have added some extra content to Wang Lao Ji. Please slow down and wait a bit before proposing deleting stuff. It takes time to write articles, and we don't get featured articles appearing from nothing in 4 seconds flat. I have removed the deletion stuff. m.e. (talk) 16:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Milagros D. Ibe

Dear Mr. Ironholds, Dr. Milagros Dimal Ibe is a very notable person. Try to google her name and see how notable she is, not only in the Philippines but even in Southeast Asian countries, because of her contributions to mathematics education.Fadulj (talk) 07:16, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
