User talk:Flunkybiscuits

Got your e-mail

I actually commented on Rebroad's talk page about your blocking last night, and was going to append the same comment here, only as soon as I posted the comment, you'd been unblocked. At the time I commented, you were being considered a sockpuppet, by way of IP proof and suspicious edits, and I commented to say that in my view your edits weren't suspicious or harmful, so that if you were going to be viewed as a sockpuppet, you should only be blocked for the duration of Rebroad's block. You hadn't made any edits violating the use of legal sockpuppetry, and the only thing that would, would be the evading of a block.

Anyway, since you were unblocked and decided not to be a sockpuppet the same second I posted my comment, I decided not to post it here. I redid the edit of yours I accidently undid--I'm sorry I hadn't seen that, I thought it was all formatting (though I suppose wikifying is formatting), and feel free to work on the Nephology article or to jump into wherever. Welcome to Wikipedia and may your future editing be calmer than this. Miss Mondegreen | Talk   08:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Rebroad would wish I was his sockpuppet! I only got involved in order to try and calm things down, since I could see you were getting both very frustrated. Unfortunately, he got blocked for whatever reason, which meant I kept getting hit with auto-blocks, even after I was no longer considered a sockpuppet.

Regarding editing 'nephology' I think it's more appropriate we continue the discussion over at the actual article.

Thank you for welcoming me at wikipedia and please bear with me while I'm trying to find my editing feet around this maze... --Flunkybiscuits 23:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

We All Scream For Ice Cream

		The Barnstar of Good Humor
		Because "Rebroad would wish I was his sockpuppet!" is the best response I've ever seen from anyone accused of sockpupptry. Because within 48 hrs of getting an account, you were accused of sockpuppetry, indef banned, unaccused, auto banned, had good edits reverted (that was me) and you somehow still managed to respond in good cheer. You still assumed good faith, you were still patient, and recognizing quite clearly how crazy jumpy we Wikipedians can be, you went the extra mile and discussed putting back small edits that had been reverted. Kudos to you. Miss Mondegreen | Talk   09:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, thank you! Now, all I have to do is to find out how to put that on my user page - which I am trying to edit at the moment to put some more userboxes (I just LOVE userboxes!). I also love a good, but always civilised, argument (I should have studied law rather than maths, I know...), which is why I got involved in all this mess in the first place. I have to admit though that this Wikipedia stuff is very addictive. Got to make time for real life soon... Thanks again, --Flunkybiscuits 10:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! Though I'd put it somewhere safe. You don't want to eat it all at once, you don't want it to melt and you definitely don't want me to come and sneak a bite! Ahhh...desining a userpage--you don't want to know how many hours I spent designing mine. I have the same userbox setup btw--you can just stick the barnstar at the beginning and then the userboxes after (don't have a line break inbetween), and then you'll have barnstar with userboxes to the right. Or you could do something else wild and crazy. You might want to set an alarm to ring every hour when you start to edit your userpage or you might not notice the days go by. Miss Mondegreen | Talk   11:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Something wild and crazy, eh? Do you mean something like completely filling my userpage with userboxes? Who can be bothered to write anything about themselves when there are all these wonderful ready-made tidbits of information available? You just pick & mix!--Flunkybiscuits 17:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

It's because they're individuals, whereas your entire personality can be summed up with userboxes--for example, the utter disgrace of putting Desperate Housewives next to West Wing. How could you? Talk about a deadly sin!

Btw, lots of people learned how to use too many 2s too properly in second grade but too many of us type too many of our twos, 2s, tos and toes, too quickly to type them correctly.

You've seriously destroyed the serial comma? Some of the time? I'm guessing that the waffles put you up to this.

Oh wow, this is way to much fun. I'm going to create a subpage where people can add userboxes they think apply or are funny just for fun and see what happens! Miss Mondegreen | Talk   00:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I think I have to defend the waffles first! Have you ever had proper Belgian waffles (or as they are called in Wikipedia, Liege waffles)? They are completely different to any other waffles in matters of texture. They are a lot more doughy and when they make them they put chunks of brown sugar in the dough, which caramelise as the waffles cook, so you end up with this chewy waffle with crunchy caramel bits here and there. Heaven, if ever there was one!!!

I did think that some people will think it's a bit odd that I am a fan of both 'The West Wing' and DH, but I like them both in different ways, so there you go. I loved 'The West Wing' for its dialog, its wit and its insight into the American Politics; it taught me a lot. 'Desperate Housewives', on the other hand, I like because of its characters. They are so well rounded and realistic and everything they do is true to their personality. Do I make any sense? Probably not...

I know I am a stickler for grammar, but blame my English teacher. She was a real nazi. Seriously though, it's probably because it's not my mother tongue, so I feel I have to adhere to all the rules to minimise the chances of looking like a fool. Plenty of work for me in Wikipedia, correcting silly grammar, methinks!

Anyway, off for breakfast now... No waffles though :( --Flunkybiscuits 08:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Pwnd!

I just saw your usepage you multlingual, barnstar barring, committed flexitarian you! That was fast! Btw, do you know how odd the phrase "committed flexitarian" sounds? Miss Mondegreen | Talk   11:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I know!!! I just can't find anything more appropriate for my case. I don't eat any meat but I do eat food that has been cooked with meat, cause when I was younger I found that it got my parents very frustrated having to cook separate meals just for me. It also makes me more popular with my carnivore friends, i.e. not having to worry too much about my food requirements when they invite me round for meals.

Anyway, back to trying to sort the formatting of the boxes out... --Flunkybiscuits 11:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Megale

You have been recommended to me. (I'm a Greek-German who hates Greece and despises Germany, and I have studied sociology and mathematics in Germany, the US, and Italy). I also have a keen interest in ex-Yugoslavia, but that the latter is besides the point. I'm looking for people to prop up Latent Class Analysis, are you interested?
