  • Wow! I like your new talk page layout a lot. I should think about archiving... User:Scythre encouraged me on this, but I never really did much. Academy-wise, secretly I've always revered you and Bugboy as "template gods" for your awe-inspiring skills with tables, userboxes, and general syntax. On the other hand, I had to beg Bugboy to help me design something as simple as my menu bar. I wonder what I should do with a table, I'm all excited now. And I'd like to organize a collaboration on the Insect review... wow, I can do so much! Thanks! A little insignificant Talk to me! (I have candy!) 12:16, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please!

I would hope to find out the meaning of paying with edits... it seems 42 doesn't work in this case... and Yes... though i don't see any problem... except i have trouble using them... by the way... i'm supposing i would need to fix my sig... i'm on overload with this *--*$Marie*Night*Fox$* (talk) 17:40, 6 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by *$Marie*Night*Fox$* (talk • contribs)

Well, paying with edits is like this:
Lets say that you liked one of the clocks, then you add your self to the buyers list here, specifying what would you like and how. After that you posted your self (including your signature with the date), I´ll be checking your edits, and when you reach (for example) 8 major edits (after posting), I´ll deliver the item to your user space.
By the way, what do you mean by "it seems 42 doesn't work in this case..." and "except i have trouble using them"? - Damërung ...ÏìíÏ..._Ξ_ . --  18:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
NEVER MIND ABOUT THAT... but whaat are exactly major edits? *--*$Marie*Night*Fox$* (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Edits not marked as minor edits are considered major or general edits. When you do a grammar or syntax correction in a page (like punctuation marks, changing letters, adding very few stuff, etc...), you mark that as a minor edit (in the little box below the 'edit' section). About your signature, i think the problem is that in your preferences, you have maked the slot "raw signature", that slot must not be marked unless you´re going to insert special code for the signature. Otherwise, just type your username there and uncheck the raw signature slot. - Damërung ...ÏìíÏ..._Ξ_ . --  21:09, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:NODRAMA

I found it one day while skimming AN/I (ironically, in search of drama). Your new signature looks fine to me. a little insignificant 01:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and some food for thought- I've been reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy lately and noticed some similarities between the fictional guide and Wikipedia. What are your thoughts? a little insignificant 15:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I have been hearing about that Hitchhiker stuff lately. I didn´t even knew of its existence before some little time ago, and I haven´t read it, so which similarities did you found? (I hope I can find time to read it, and sorry for the delayed response). - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 22:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's a great book, and you should read it. But right now, here's some key quotes I selected from the book:
"In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has already supplanted the great Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repositry of all knowledge and wisdom."
"It had about a hundred tiny flat press buttons and a screen about four inches square on which any one of a million "pages" could be summoned at a moment's notice."
"If it were printed in normal book form, an interstellar hitchhiker would require several inconveniently large buildings to carry it around in."
This isn't a full, comprehensive study of the similarities, but do you see what I'm getting at? a little insignificant 02:34, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, indeed. I think i´m geting the hang of it. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 03:44, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Yours:

Hi Damërung, just wanted to say thank you, :-) That came as a very big surprise, and the day before my birthday, too! Maedin\talk 13:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Happy post-birthday, I´m sorry I wasn´t here yesterday, but I´ve been a little busy, maybe that makes me made mistakes sometimes (for example in FPC's). p.s. I left you something in your talk page, I hope you like it. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 08:58, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
¡Eres muy amable, gracias! No me importa que se trataba de un día de retraso, ¡la torta de cumpleaños es muy apreciada! Oh, y perdon, mi español es muy terrible, :-/ Maedin\talk 09:33, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Tu no eres de España... o si? - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 09:37, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If my Spanish is that terrible, how could I be from Spain, :D And no, I am not, unfortunately. ¡Me gustaría ser español! Maedin\talk 09:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yes of course! It´s only that your speech (writing in this case) looked like spanish phrases modisms. I hope you had a very nice day during your birthday, and by the way, maybe you can find interesting the use of a shoutbox (like me). - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 09:49, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I had a very rough day at work for my birthday, so it wasn't the greatest, no ;-) Plus, I turned 25 and now I feel old! I am afraid that people do not talk to me very often, so a shoutbox would almost never be used. Otherwise I might consider it. When I learned Spanish, my teacher used a dialect of Spain, so I may have picked up those habits from her. I say "cabetha" instead of "cabeza", for example. (P.S. I have your talk page watched, so you don't need to give me talkbacks.) Maedin\talk 09:57, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, my birthdays habe been like that recently... the cruel world of the adults . (talkbacks lol!) Anyway, you don´t looke like you're 25, my first thought was that you were like 20 or 18. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 10:09, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's a very nice thing to say, thank you! I wish I was still 20 ;-) Maedin\talk 18:46, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FPC Closures

Thanks for taking an interest in closing FPC noms. One small issue though: don't close noms you've voted in (and especially ones you've nominated), even if the outcome is opposite to your hopes. Sometimes its necessary when something has sat for a really long time, or there's absolutely no one else to do it, but these circumstances are extreme, and an explanation is necessary. But again, thanks for the help! wadester16 18:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Acknowledged. By the way, I just noticed that you don´t vote for nominations very often (perhaps almost never), and I was wondering why?... You should also form part of the quorum, I don´t see why someone who vote can´t close a candidate. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 19:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't often vote because if I do, I can't close the nom; it's a conflict of interest, especially if the !vote is the same as the outcome of the nomination. For a while, I was the only one closing noms and if I had voted, it would have left a large group of unclosed noms. wadester16 19:41, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I say you should vote anyway. Since the guideline of the page doesn´t mention it, I think it would be ok. Actually, I don´t see any conflict of interest (at least none that really makes a conflict), bacause no matter who closes the nomination as long as the rules are still followed, so as you see, this sounds very logical doesnt it? - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 15:10, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Except for the case where it comes down to a close call; for that reason, the rule—which, while not written, but understood by closers—is in place to keep conflicts at a minimum. You can't predict which noms will be close, so you must assume they all will, and if you intend on closing, you must not vote. See this example, ongoing now. wadester16 15:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the condition for FP are met, then even if someone has a background interest is irrelevant. For example: Many of the recent nominations have the same user as the creator and nominator, and not only just one. It can be thinked that there´s a background interest here (like competing for the higher number of featured pictures nominated/created), but as well as when closing, it is just speculative and irrelevant, because if a picture deserves to be a featured one (by the community consensus), then other things does not matter.
Let me point it in another view: Even if an evil user someone is not taking neutrality and/or good faith, he cannot outrun the rules, and his actions would be taken as mere tools (since is not negatively affecting wikipedia).
So in conclusion:

  • A conflict must not be brought out of nowhere if it´s not needed.
  • Users editing here in FPC, must always take neutrality and good faith when voting or closing (which is not in the guidelines of this page because is implicit (in the wikiquette)).
  • Even if something is not accepted and a conflict is arised, it can always be discused and reverted (that´s why there´s the section: -recently closed nominations-).

So what do you think? - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 16:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Me, posting my humble opinion

Yes, but close calls are a judgement call and you want the one making the judgement to be uninvolved. It's safe to assume any nom can end up being a judgement call, so you want to be uninvolved when closing. You can always bring this up at WT:FPC if you want more input. wadester16 16:53, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. No need for the {{tb}} templates, I'm watching your talk. :) wadester16 19:42, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you there?

You haven't been online in awhile. Were you devoured by evil werewolves? (I have to know.) A little insignificant (talk) 17:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for my lack of presence, I know that I have left things unattended here (like my help to my adoptees), but I`ve been through a LOT, and as you can see, even now I haven`t been able to use my own computer (so i`m not using my main account for security issues).

Egotism

Oh Damërung, my great and wise mentor, I seek wisdom and counseling. In my greed, in my naive ambition, I have had... the thought. Oh woe is me! What should I do? A little insignificant talk to me! (please!) 12:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I myself have thought about this in the past, and I decided to stay as a non-admin because several reasons. First of all, I decided that there are a lot of things that I can do (and I want to do) before being an admin (and without the need to be one). Second, being an admin is not such a huge thing because it only gives you rights to work more intermally in wikipedia like protecting pages, deleting them or blocking users. I also thought that it could be time-consuming, but it actually isn't.
Those are reasons why I didn´t choose to nominate as admin (which may help you), now, If you want to become an admin, here are some tips:

\☩Damërung ☩. -- 13:56, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I'm still into the academy!! I was missing it all the time your computer was bwoke and I was wondering why you still haven't updated it yet! Hmph.

Anyways, I've looked over the table you made. (thanks for going to all that that trouble, btw) I like the pros and I think I can deal with the contras. In my opinion, I've been dealing well with recent disputes and I think I could keep a cool head in disputes as an admin. On the other hand, the RFA processes I've seen struck me as synonymous with "fiery pit of mad wolves from hell". They seem to rely shockingly strongly on a user's number of edits. Is my impression wrong?

Either way, I should definitely gain some more experience first. 2000 < 93000. A little insignificant talk to me! (please!) 21:05, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help on creating a new article

Hi Damërung, I haven't been that active lately (work), but I have been doing research on an article I wanted to create. The article is a song off this album Trespass (album) it is "Looking for Someone" (song name) to create it. I was wondering if there were any tips you could give me or any other advice that I might need to do this. Thanks --The Windsor Help Desk (talk) 21:19, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see you want to create a new article. Well, there are some things that you should have in mind if you want to create an article:
References
Citing references in wikipedia is very important, this not only tells others where you acquired the information, but also makes the article more hard to be deleted. Remember, wikipedia must be the most reliable possible.
Importance
An article must have enough importance to be an article in wikipedia, in this case, it´s a band's song, and I don´t know much about it (but I´ll be looking forward). An article's lack of importance may lead it to be deleted.
Look in the academy
Lol. In my academy for adoptees I will be putting some new information (for u, further info regarding to this kind of matters).
Be bold!
The most important thing is being bold, you don´t have to worry if your first article is not good or is fastly requested for deletion (specially being my adoptee, because I´ll be watching and fixing possible mistakes). Any error can be fixed, and I can be helping you along the way.

Hi, I was reading old discussions about {{wikipedia ads}} and noticed that you asked for the possibility of showing one of few (but not all) ads at random. If you are still interested, this feature was recently added (see the documentation). Svick (talk) 09:10, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template Suggestion

Thank you for your comment on the template and yes I do think that would be a good idea but can you think of anything more valuable or rare than plutonium? If you can, I would be very grateful if you would let me know.

Regards, Gaelen S.Talk • Contribs 03:23, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as far as I know, hafnium (one of it´s isotopes: 178Hf) is more expensive than plutonium. A gram of plutonium cost $4000 and a gram of hafnium 178 cost $1 million (as I know). It is also claimed in some internet sites that the aerogel is the most expensive material but I´m not sure of this. The only thing I´m sure is that even if the aerogel is the most expensive material, it´s definitely not the most expensive substance on Earth. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 13:59, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I will look into it.
Regards, Gaelen S.Talk • Contribs 15:11, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So what do you think? should Hafnium be the next material? - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 21:37, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it depends on what hafnium looks like and what the general consensus is. I looked at the article you listed and hafnium appears to be basically the color of graphite which I think could be confused with the iron star. If you have any ideas about how we could manipulate the color of hafnium to make it look a little different, I would all ears. - Regards, Gaelen S.Talk • Contribs 05:52, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reply with an extended apology for not getting back to you sooner

First

Yay! I always like the acadamy, thanks for the new tips. The tips on Wikiquette and deep contributions are especially helpful, per the comments at my ongoing editor review. I'm going to try and work on a major rewrite of an article, if I can find one. Thanks for the admin tips, btw. I checked out some ongoing RFAs and was frightened considerably, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't apply sooner rather than later... hm.

Second

Woohoo! I didn't even know that existed. I'll put it in my awards. I'm going to have to create a new space for userboxes and stuff, too. On the other hand, I want to limit my userspace contributions... ugh, lots to worry 'bout. Oh well :D

Third

lololol

Fourth

Thank you! But again, see the userspace issue- I worry that I'm not making enough article contributions.

Fifth (?)

I'm worried about User:BigPadresDUDE. I'm impressed with his work as a new user, but he seems to feel that his contributions are too minor, and that everyone hates him. I can't convince him otherwise. Do you have any suggestions?

I think that covers it. A little insignificant Talk to me! (I have candy!) 15:40, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help in taxa

Well if your not on now, i'll be on till 11 today, and back agian tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. (-4). Bugboy52.4 | =-= 02:05, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the delay, I was reading the stuff... About that list, yes, your table seems a little large, but I think (pehaps) maybe it could be better suited to be instead of the lead list. Therefore you´ll have more width for the table and you can also put the number of found species for each taxa (excuse me if my terminology is not correct, I´m not very used for these terms in english, but in spanish) including references for each one. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 02:15, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for my delay, but the origanl table (you can see in the diffs) was too large. But can you fix this one, some of the taxa are not showing. Bugboy52.4 | =-= 02:26, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How about a collapsing one! This way the table can show up to the infraclass in a cheap space, then you click [show] for the orders. (I thought Thysanura was an order also, within the subclass Zygenthoma). By the way, what time is out there? I mean, What is the difference in timezones? - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 02:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good thats why I choose you! :), well you are -5, and i'm -4 (thats why I wrote that) so here it's 10:42. Oh, can you show me first what it looks like on my sandbox (what about a scroll?). Bugboy52.4 | =-= 02:46, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Barnstar

Thank you! that was one of those barnstars that I really wanted! The only thing that i don't like about SVG, is that its a bit hard to make. Try using Inkscape (its FREE!) or Adobe Illustrator (not free, but you can try a hack with torrent download), which is better. The only thing with inkscape is that it takes a while to get use to, and it freezes lafter a long time of use, so save often, you have been warned (might not happen on your computer). Actually, I drew a nice picture of a Sunburst Diving Beetle for the article, and it froze! :'[. Good luck! Bugboy52.4 | =-= 19:19, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, you would have to completely redo the image, or use trace bitmap, but then it will look bad. Even redoing images is hard if they are like pictures with a lot if detail. The easiest would be simple and solid pictures like cartoons and icons. Bugboy52.4 | =-= 19:47, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well if you have any, I can see what I can do. Bugboy52.4 | =-= 19:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have been working on typography, either creating articles, doing cleanup work and/or uploading images for the typeface where is missing. The images I´ve created are in JPG format, and have a bad quality. I have already been taging them with the apropriate template for SVG conversion, and I´ll try to upload them as SVG when I can, but I was wondering if the existing ones can be easily switched to SVG... The ones I´ve been working with are in the Samples of serif typefaces, the first ones (can be noted by the quality). - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 20:12, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So you want me to change all those pictures to svg? Bugboy52.4 | =-= 12:15, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can you? (I mean: can you switch them, or the pictures have to be remade completely whole?). - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 20:14, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would have to remake them completely, but it's not to hard because they are solid colors, I'll see if I can get to it tonight. Bugboy52.4 | =-= 20:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
