I don't know if you celebrate Halloween but... Happy Halloween!

Thanks! I do indeed, although I didn't get to make a proper costume this year. Hope yours is going well too! Ironholds (talk) 16:54, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Forgot to wish happy Halloween, though I am here for something else...--Mishae (talk) 05:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, we don't celebrate Halloween, I wish, tough. I would be dressed up as a female version of The Fly... or maybe as Ali Hewson... :D Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:33, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
who is Ali Hewson?--Mishae (talk) 15:37, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Mishae, she is Bono's wife. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for explanation. Wondering: Does it makes you a daughter of his?--Mishae (talk) 15:54, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Mishae No problem at all and no, I am not Bono's daughter, and I wouldn't want to either, since I am in love with the man. :D What did you think that? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:57, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the reason why I taught so is just by your username, plus, Wikipedia have quite a few famous Wikipedians (not to mention I just welcomed one, turned out to be a notable Mexican sculptor).--Mishae (talk) 16:01, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, no, I am not related to Bono. If I would, I couldn't edit U2 related articles, since that'd be WP:COI. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 16:04, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What are U2 articles?--Mishae (talk) 16:14, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Articles about the band U2. Ironholds (talk) 16:49, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I had replied Mishae on his talk page, since I thought yours was not the best place to talk about this. By the way, I haven't heard anything else on Ali H. for FA, does that mean that it was rejected? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 16:53, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Unless the FAC was closed, no - you might want to poke the people who opposed/left comments and inform them the page has been updated, though. Ironholds (talk) 18:00, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I did, I asked Wasted Time R but got no reply. I will be focused on Bono's article I want to take it into GA-Class. Maybe, if you have time, you'd like to help a little bit :) Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 18:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Happily; let me know what I can do :). Ironholds (talk) 02:49, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Hey dude, been ages, hope you're well. Danger^Mouse (talk) 13:11, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Very much so; spent the weekend writing code and watching Futurama. Hope things are good at your end, too! Ironholds (talk) 02:49, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Sorry for this Iron but I had to say it... DO you watch Futurama?? OMG! That's my favourite! Also I like The Simpsons and South Park. But Futurama is No. 1 in my list of favourite cartoon tv shows. And... sorry for poking my nose. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 13:54, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, one of my favourites - along with shows like Archer, Adventure Time and Venture Bros. Ironholds (talk) 19:28, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've told you this before but... you rock. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:35, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Heh; thank you! Ironholds (talk) 19:37, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My pleasure ;) Jenova gave me a Zoidberg once and I am giving you one today (V)(;,;)(V) Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:37, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hah - never seen that smiley before, but I like it. Ironholds (talk) 19:39, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I call it a Zoidmiley :P Do you like South Park? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:43, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

or a smileberg? Yeah, I watch it when I can, although not as fanatically as the other shows. Ironholds (talk) 19:50, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like that one better! Oh, yes, it is not as good as Futurama but sure it makes me laugh out loud. I still don't know if I like the episode about Bono... but I burst into laughter. (O_o) Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:52, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not too bad, really tied up nowadays with few things, should be okay. Spent the weekend filling up forms in Farsi/Persian, using a translator, wasn't easy. Brilliant talking. Danger^Mouse (talk) 21:12, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Darn on the "translator" element; I was about to try and weedle some translations out of you :). Ironholds (talk) 21:56, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Let me know what it is, I'll try to translate it. 06:31, 12 November 2013 (UTC)Danger^Mouse (talk)

Thanks

Thanks for the kind words and barnstar on Monaghan Mill. All the best, John Foxe (talk) 14:47, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@John Foxe: no problem! Keep up the great work :). Ironholds (talk) 19:31, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Olafia

Hi, You added a "multiple citation issues"-template to Olafia. I have now made in-line citations in the two sections that were not explicitly referenced, although it actually feels rather overdone to have to reference a single sentence if the source is the same as already referenced in the lead. I'd say referencing in many Wiki-articles is already much more detailed than in your average scientific article. I have now changed the "multiple citation issues"-template to "unclear citation style". However, I remain unclear about what you find unclear in the citation style. It seems to me this style is commonly used. So I seek your guidance in this: please explain how you would like the citation. Kind regards, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 11:46, 12 November 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Hey Dwergenpaartje :).
So, in regards to citation numbers; yeah, we require referencing to be pretty uniform in the body of an article. Actually it works the other way around from how you seem to be treating it - is it acceptable for parts of the lede to remain uncited (unless they're direct quotes) because the expectation is that the lede of an article is the synthesis of the body, and the body will be referenced.
In regards to the unclear citation style, you've cleared that up - I was referring to the references in this version that alternate full formatting (see citations 2 or 3) with simple web page titles (citations 1 and 4). I strongly recommend using the web citations format for websites like this, which can be accessed by hitting the {{ }} button in your edit toolbar and clicking "cite web".
Thanks for clearing this up so quickly! Please do let me know if you have any questions (related to this topic or not), or if there's anything I can help with. And: thanks for your contributions thus far :). Ironholds (talk) 16:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trophies

Is there is a way to display the trophies or other awards identical to user @Koavf: way? It overlaps my username and I don't know what to do about it? Thanks.--Mishae (talk) 06:10, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly, but if there is, I'm unaware of it. I think it's an attribute of the trophies/award templates in question, not of how you're putting them in the userpage. Ironholds (talk) 18:01, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem; sorry it took so long! Let me know next time you have an article you need reviewing - I'll try to be speedier :). Ironholds (talk) 20:27, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled

Do you really want to give out "Autopatrolled" rights to someone with a high percentage of articles that don't hold water under close scrutiny? User:BiH was recently found to be an paid editor so maybe you could revoke that? Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 03:03, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really want to beg the question? ;p.
More seriously: I'm not an admin any more, so I couldn't revoke it if I wanted to - feel free to ask any admin to do so. In the meantime, please try and phrase such requests in a less "when did you stop beating your wife" kinda way. Ironholds (talk) 08:14, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker)Am I missing something or is this a request to sanction BiH merely because he's been paid? I could see action if he violated a policy or something, but the last time I checked there wasn't a policy about being paid. Unless, of course, he turned someone into a newt. However, having said that, I can bring some wood over. We can burn him at the stake, just like a witch. We can even use the "duck" test. GregJackP Boomer! 08:35, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Are you kidding? That's a waste of good oak - you know how difficult it is to get hold of decent wood these days? There are certainly some problems with BiH's articles that could easily justify yanking the bit - I'll leave that decision up to an admin - but Greg's right: being paid is not a reason to remove a userright. The argument could be made that editors being paid demand more scrutiny than editors not being paid, and thus scrutiny-evading bits shouldn't be issued, but it's none of our places to make decisions there. Ironholds (talk) 08:41, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
User:Marcus Qwertyus, are you being saucy or something else? Please find a sentence where I say "I am paid"!? That is an assumption of an unregistered user, who was payed to make an article that I probably tagged for reference improvement or I removed a portion of his/her article that was against the rules as a random page patroller. I saw how you do when I read the explanation for deletion saying (how I saw it): "This article has significant coverage in the US and Canadian media, but let's delete it anyway". No one want to improve, to contribute, so I am sick of you all and do not want any further discussion with you. --BiH (talk) 16:46, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks....

For the barnstar and the nice comments. I fear I've only scratched the surface of the life of Anna de Bremont - she had a kind of aura of celebrity, but remains tantalisingly out of reach.Ruskinmonkey (talk) 21:41, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Abraham modal haplotype

i wonder if you could lead me to where should I request undeletion of the article . i spent a lot of time adding sources. the klyosov study was referenced in rozhadinii speaking of same topic, which makes klyosov study not primary research. both studies are used as master refrences for isogg. which make both studies reliable. many studies cited the two studies as when googling the study title and find cited by number of articles immediately . plus many other studies I did not see fit to mention since they were critical and in new chronology, making me wonder why should i add antithesis to the article I mentioned all that in the discussion but obviously was ignored and was gien lectures about my using notable word even though i used it to refer to notability wiki policy guideline. So I am an old man, and i got lost in reading were in the world to request undelete procedure. may be you can help thanx. Viibird (talk) 12:06, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
