==RE: How's it going?== |
|||
Hey Sky Attacker! My time at Wikipedia is going great. I've always liked Wikipedia when I noticed it about 3 years ago and it is easily my favorite website for research (even if it is considered "unreliable"). I finished creating player pages for the Philadelphia Eagles, and now I am going to start making coach pages. |
|||
I feel that more people are willing to add information to already-created Wiki pages than starting a new one, so I think I am helping out. |
|||
How about you? |

::Lawl, you make me lawl. What have the Cowboys done this offseason to make you think that? Getting rid of Owens? Drafting a kicker in the 5th round when you already have a good, young, Pro Bowl kicker?

Re, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Daedalus969&diff=308430165&oldid=308426575 your message], I know not of what you speak, but looking at the article, I just tagged it myself, I have no idea what language it is.

I once thought of inviting him to participate and I did in fact invite him to do so, but to no avail. He has yet to place so much as a single keystroke on a talk page. I honestly don't know what to do here. I thought shaming him would work...nope. Same non-response. No one in the Foundation seems to be willing to actively pursue action against this cuckoo, so I guess we'll just have to keep tagging and bagging. Between you and I, I've had it with him. If the Foundation doesn't care, I'm about to stop doing so myself. Sigh. --[[User:PMDrive1061|PMDrive1061]] ([[User talk:PMDrive1061|talk]]) 00:44, 21 August 2009 (UTC) |

You're absolutely right. Autistic or not, he's destructive as hell since he takes up so much volunteer time. What we need is someone willing to make a really tough choice and impose a huge rangeblock on the little idiot's IPs. A nice, long one. He'd been using a computer in an Apple Computer store at one time (I'm assuming the Fashion Valley store if he's still in San Diego and it is indeed possible to log onto Wikipedia from there since I once did so myself) and another at about the same time in some government building. Those were rangeblocked for a couple of months and all was blissful silence. What I wouldn't give for CU privileges. I tell you, I'd bury his IPs so fast his empty little head would spin. Thanks for getting my head back on straight. :) --[[User:PMDrive1061|PMDrive1061]] ([[User talk:PMDrive1061|talk]]) 01:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC) |

I don't live in San Diego, but my sister, nephew and brother-in-law do and all of MG's early socks were coming out of San Diego. That's what led me to the assumption that he was operating out of the Fashion Valley Apple store; I was there with my brother-in-law when he bought his MacBook Pro. I'm assuming that's the only Apple store in the area, but I may be wrong. While he was buying, I was noodling online and the first thing I tried was logging to log onto this site, which I did successfully. As far as his mom is concerned, it was I under my old "Lucky 6.9" username who managed to contact her. One of his first socks was an e-mail address which is no longer valid. It may have been a ruse, however. I think it may well been ol' Derek D. himself. When he does take the time to write, he's remarkably lucid and articulate. So too was the e-mail explaining his condition. Anyway, we persist. --[[User:PMDrive1061|PMDrive1061]] ([[User talk:PMDrive1061|talk]]) 07:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC) |

== Darwin Forest == |
|||
Although I might be able to do this today, this is just a 'holiday park', a commercial venture, and I don't see it as notable enough for an article. Even worse, it calls itself a 'country park', and I was excited thinking I could walk my dogs there until I found out it wasn't a country park by UK standards, see [http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/enjoying/places/countryparks/default.aspx]. I can't find a source singling out the woodlands as opposed to the commercial venture. [[User:Dougweller|Dougweller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 05:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:I visited it, it is a very nice holiday center with nice cabins, a fancy looking gym which must cater to more than just the residents, good activities for children, etc. It's in the woods, but I'd say it takes up a lot, probably most, of the 44 acres. There doesn't seem any evidence of a 'Darwin Forest' on its own, just this resort in the trees. [[User:Dougweller|Dougweller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 17:20, 24 August 2009 (UTC) |

== DSotM == |
|||
Thank you for your help. This has nothing to do with ownership of an article. Its a simple matter of a user inserting what appears to be an unreliable source into articles that are either at WP:GAN, GA, or WP:FAC. The user clearly does not understand [[wp:reliable]], or has not read it, despite my repeated requests to do so. Under his pre-reg IP, he also removed correctly-sourced material from DSotM, from a failure to comprehend the review, or its context. |
|||
He just needs a bit of guidance, that's all. I'd rather not see this escalate into anything untoward. [[User:Parrot of Doom|Parrot of Doom]] ([[User talk:Parrot of Doom|talk]]) 21:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC) |

I see that all it took was a few gentle nudges in the "right" direction for you to see the light at that RfA. :) It reminds me of that prank where you go to click one of two buttons, but if you try to click the "wrong" one it keeps moving. :) We're so happy that you see things our way now comrade!

I have great respect for what you stated and you generous spirit of collegiality. I'm sorry you've been stressed and especially for whatever part I've played in it (if any). |

== RE: MascotGuy == |
|||
I know what you mean; I feel bad for PMDrive and I'm sure a lot of people are exasperated by MG. However, there's nothing practical that can be done. Rangeblocking is out of the question, since he uses a computer wherever he finds one/has an unlimited dynamic IP. We'd do a lot more collateral damage. And, even if we did rangeblock, I don't think that would stop anything. If MG does have autism (which I don't doubt, given his tenacity), then nothing will stop him. For some reason, he's got the urge to 'contribute' to Wikipedia in the manner he does. Nothing short of electroshock therapy will help that. <br /> |
|||
I'm sure we can manage him, though. We've got thousands of administrators who are able to deal with him. I feel bad for PMD, though. He's been through a lot with this dude.

|||
== Seasons == |
|||
There are traditionally four seasons, each of them three months long. Traditionally they run from the solstices to the equinoxes, and vice versa. The names of the seasons as we know them obviously originated in the northern hemisphere, and have been switched around for use in Australia and other English-speaking parts of the southern hemisphere. [[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] <sup>''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''</sup> [[Special:Contributions/Baseball_Bugs|carrots]] 09:49, 6 September 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:The article also talks about the interpretation called "meteorological" seasons, which don't coincide with the equinoxes and solstices. But to me the traditional seasons make sense. Consider summer and winter in the north. The first day of the season is the solstice. Because of the lag or "latency" of heating and cooling, the hottest and coldest times, i.e. the "height" of summer and the "depth" of winter, occur about halfway into the respective season. After that, things slowly start to cool down or warm up. Makes perfect sense to me. I don't know why the weathermen see it differently. But what do they know anyway? :) [[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] <sup>''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''</sup> [[Special:Contributions/Baseball_Bugs|carrots]] 09:56, 6 September 2009 (UTC) |

Hi Sky Attacker! Just got home to see your two brief notes - the second one to say "don't worry about it". Now you've got my interest up (one of my faults is being TOO curious) - please let me know what I shouldn't worry about.
