Kinda random...

But do you know of where one can find a downloadable copy of the doa mix? Soxwon (talk) 21:40, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Message sent, thank you for your assistance. :) Soxwon (talk) 21:56, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Got it, thnx Soxwon (talk) 03:17, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Awesome :D. Soxwon (talk) 04:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Community de-Adminship - finalization poll for the CDA proposal

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;

  • gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and

OS X image

Sorry about that. I've restored now - consensus here was definitely to keep. I got confused on this one I'm afraid (I closed a lot of them at once... there was another similar image that got me I'm afraid). Thanks for bringing this to me attention! - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 15:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

RFC

If you have any thoughts on this matter, you might want to participate in this RFC. Gamaliel (talk) 02:34, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I've added my thoughts, though the discussion seems to have splintered already. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Olbermann and Blaxthos

This isn't the first time that you have entered a claim made by Olbermann as a "fact". Something that you would never allow if subject were a Hannity or an O'Reilly. The reliably sourced fact that should be entered into Wikipedia in the case at hand is that Olbermann has stated that he has spent more time with his father. Badmintonhist (talk) 00:38, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Seriously, you are complaining about an edit about KO spending time with his ailing father. Now that is truly sad. Not something controversial, but about spending time with his father that could be on death's door step. As AI would say: "Not the game. Practice."--69.209.114.49 (talk) 00:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Comment

You posted your comment [1] to Talk:Jim Bunning#Should "filibuster" be in the article? and I think you meant it for Talk:Jim Bunning#Missing Healthcare bill but I'm loathe to move it. ;) ∴ Therefore cogito·sum 23:08, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the notification! I remember wondering why my browser returned me to that section after I saved the edit... //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 23:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Software Top 100 a reliable source

Dear Blaxthos, I would like to invite you to enter again into discussing Software Top 100 as a reliable source, on my talk page. You once entered into the discussion once before on User_talk:Esoteric_Rogue#softwaretop100.org_is_not_a_reliable_source so I hope you will contribute again. Thanks! --BalderV (talk) 12:28, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Azalea Trail Maids

Hey, pleasure working with you too! I see you found a photo. I thought that "trip" would be correct because they only made one trip, but whatever you think is fine by me. Altairisfar 02:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Angler

If I had had any real doubts to start with, Kiddo, the random edit at the rather esoteric "Angler" article which was your brainchild (and which no one had touched for over three months) would have dispelled them. It would be almost as if you suspected I was impersonating an Anon and and found that this same Anon had made an edit at Margaret Varner Bloss. Besides, how many Anons engage in your level of fuss-budgetry?? As I said, however, I don't really get upset by sock puppetry. There are all sorts of "pieces of work" floating around Wikipedia and you just happen to be one of them. Regards. Badmintonhist (talk) 03:01, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
PS: I also do one thing quite similar to you, Blax. I'll see a word that I used months ago in an article and realize that I could have used a better word; much like you did when you changed "states" to "asserts". Anonymous editor, indeed!! Badmintonhist (talk) 03:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Hahaha that was me! I was actually just looking at your history and that was one of the sites I found on your contribution list. I checked out the article because I had recognized the name of the book, but forgot what it was about. I'm glad you liked my edit though, I thought it was a lot better. Check out the one I just made. Also, didn't you just accuse me of being a sockpuppet of some other anon the other day? You make those accusations a lot Badmintonhist, which seems like you assuming bad faith. And honestly, if you need to know, I engaged in that level of fuss-budgetry because I had already seen what a hassle you gave people about Olbermann saying his dad was sick. Finally, I would like to ask you to stop talking down to people with your "Kiddo"'s and to stop calling people names like "pieces of work." You don't know what type of a person anyone is, and you certainly don't know anyone's age. It seems that all you are trying to do is goat people into a response by making accusations while acting like you're superior 129.133.206.180 (talk) 06:27, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh yeah, also, why would you think that my edit to the Countdown page was Blaxthos anyways? You seem to think that he has a liberal agenda, but my edit didn't do anything to make the page seem one way or another. If anything, it made the page more biased against Olbermann because the new quote actually makes a clear criticism instead of just snide remarks 129.133.206.180 (talk) 06:31, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
I rest my case. Like I said, BLAX (This is, after all, Blaxthos's talk page) there are all sorts of pieces of work floating around Wikipedia and you happen to be one of them... KIDDO. Badmintonhist (talk) 14:59, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
PS: You don't do the college kid routine very well. Your indelible personality comes through quite clearly. Work on it. Badmintonhist (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Like seriously man, how dense are you? Check out like http://www.topwebhosts.org/tools/ip-locator.php and enter my IP addresss, it will tell you Wesleyan University (a college campus). I'm not hiding anything man, and I doubt Blaxthos is either (just because you seem to throw around accusations of bad faith all the time). I'm glad you think I don't sound like a college kid though. I hope Blaxthos or someone else sends you to arbitration or whatever its called, because you are really an insulting person. At least you're entertaining with your ignorance/ignorant accusations, even if offensive and detrimental to the Wikipedia project (I was trying to work with you on Countdown, I explained everything I did, and you never even responded after you stopped just reverting everything).
PS: "This is after all Blaxthos's talk page", yeah I found it because you posted a link to this discussion on the Countdown page, remember? And I commented because you were making false accusations against me as well as Blaxthos. 129.133.142.139 (talk) 16:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
