==Userbox Debate==
Dude. you seriously need to cutdown on your userboxes :D. The only thing they currently say about you, is that you frantically collect UB'es - [[User:TheDJ|The DJ]] 13:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:No they don't. They also say a lot about me! Like my name, what I like, and other stuff! [[User:Scalene|Scalene]] 06:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
::You could say all of that information more succinctly, elegantly and with more personal flair if you wrote a few paragraphs about yourself and deleted all of the userboxes. <span style="font-size:90%;">—'''[[User:Cuivienen|<span style="color:sandybrown;">Cuivi</span>]][[User:Cuivienen/Esperanza|<span style="color:green;">é</span>]][[User:Cuivienen|<span style="color:cornflowerblue;">nen</span>]]'''</span><sup>[[User talk:Cuivienen|<span style="color:olivedrab;">T</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cuivienen|<span style="color:steelblue;">C</span>]]|[[Special:Emailuser/Cuivienen|<span style="color:goldenrod;">M</span>]]</sup><span style="font-size:85%;">, [[Thursday]], [[18 May]] [[2006]] @ 02:58 [[UTC]]</span><!--Cuivienen's Signature ends here-->

::Man thats a lot of userboxes. Why not remove a few of them and turn them into paragraphs? Makes it a bit easier to read. [[User:Loompyloompy313|Loompyloompy313]] 14:43, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Allright, I've come up with a solution. I'm creating a 'userbox biography.' It can be viewed at User:Scalene/Userboxes - but, I'm going to need help. I'm removing every single user box from my page, but I'd like to know what userboxes should be kept. [[User:Scalene|Scalene]] 09:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I just counted your userboxes. You have 259.  I see nothing wrong with collecting userboxes.  You may want to consider number 260--one that says how many you have.  Here is the code:  <nowiki>{{User:UBX/ubx num|number of userboxes you have}}</nowiki>.  Happy collecting! [[User:Savie Kumara|Savie Kumara]] 05:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

== Looking for Alibrandi ==

Did you edit Looking for Alibrandi into an article solely about the movie? As the movie came after the book, was of arguably lesser quality and had a number of differences in plot, do you not think this was inappropriate? Instead of getting rid of all the information regarding the book, you could have instead split the article into Looking for Alibrandi and Looking for Alibrandi (movie). --[[User:Kronecker|Kronecker]] 03:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps, but Looking FOr Alibrandi is part of [[Wikiproject:WikiFilms]], an effort to collect all the world's films. The tag was there as well. I went with my gut instinct. [[User:Scalene|Scalene]] 08:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you edited an article related to, or expressed interest in ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''.

==Logo on [[Template:Dundee United F.C. Squad]] page==
I'm all for it - although a much smaller size - but it will no doubt be removed shortly. I think logos are only allowed on the main club page and that is all. Great idea, though, and it looks very good. [[User:Fedgin|Fedgin]] 09:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
::You know, it loks good - but I think it should stay. It's a lot easier than looking at the title, in my opinion. You instantly know what the club is. Personally, I thought it made the page more 'personal'. [[User:Scalene|Scalene]] 09:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Scalene, I noticed your request for help on the Help desk. Please, please do not include images in your signature, especially very big ones like the triangle you have put in yours. This is due to numerous important reasons; please see [[WP:SIG#Images]] for details.

==Welcome to Esperanza!==
<div style="padding: 5px; background: #EEFFEE; border: 2px solid #CCFFCC;">
[[Image:Esperanza-short.PNG|right]]
Welcome, Scalene, to [[Wikipedia:Esperanza|Esperanza]]! As you might know, all the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members|Esperanzians]] share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Charter|Charter]], the governing document of the association. 

Now that you are a member you should read the [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/So you've joined Esperanza...|guide to what to do now]] or you may be interested in some of our [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Programs|programs]]. A quite important program is [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Stressbusters|Stressbusters]], which seeks to support [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Alerts|editors who have encountered any stress]] from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Calendar|calendar]] of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at [[Wikipedia:Esperanza/Proposals|Esperanza/Proposals]]. 

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact our [[WP:ESP/G|administrator general]] [[User:Natalya|Natalya]] by [[Special:Emailuser/Natalya|email]] or [[User talk:Natalya|talk page]].  Consider introducing yourself at the [[Wikipedia talk:Esperanza|Esperanza talk page]]!  Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-esperanza #wikipedia-esperanza] (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an [[Wikipedia:IRC tutorial|IRC tutorial]]. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

== Opposition to the Iran-Iraq war ==

I'm not sure where we go from here. I think the issues have been outlined quite simply and accurately in the RFC. We have numerous articles about opposition to various wars. They discuss demonstrations, editorials, speeches against the referenced wars. This article has some anecdotal reports of desertion (concentrating on one side only). That's it. [[User:Fan-1967|Fan-1967]] 17:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
:I might also note that the opinions I have expressed are fundamentally the same as those in [[User:LittleDan|LittleDan]]'s AFD nom. [[User:Fan-1967|Fan-1967]] 17:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I commented on the deletion, though, as Fan-1967 says, our opinions are basically the same. <small>[[User:LittleDan|LittleDan]]</small><sup>[[User talk:LittleDan|talk]]</sup> 19:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks for your comments. However, I think you should understand that a RfC is not a decision making process. All I do is try and help all parties reach a compromise they are happy with.
<br>Also, I ask that you raise any issues you have in the RfC section. That way, Patch can easily view them. Also, I don't have to go back and forth between pages that way... ;D <font style="background-color:#cedff2;font-size:100%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid#a3b0bf;text-align:center;color:#000;">Scalene</font><small><sup>•[[User:Scalene|UserPage]]•[[User Talk:Scalene|Talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Scalene|Contributions]]•[[User:Scalene/Userboxes|Biography]]•[[User:Scalene/Esperanza|<span style="color:#00F;">Є</span>]]•</sup></small> 22:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

== The verifiability rule ==

I disagree with your comment about there being cases where an article would not need a reliable source.  [[WP:V]] is not negotiable, and it says '''If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.''' (often, this is termed Verifiability, not Truth)

Secondly, "using the program yourself" to find facts out is the very definition of [[WP:OR|original research]], which isn't allowed on Wikipedia.  [[WP:NOT|Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought]], so synthesis of facts from source material (which "using the program yourself" would count as) would be original research.  

All articles should be sourced.  The fact that many articles do not is because we don't have enough people checking articles, and because new people to Wikipedia don't understand this.  [[User:ColourBurst|ColourBurst]] 23:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

== [[Godwin's law]] ==

I hereby inform you that I will change the name to [[Conscription in Iran-Iraq War]] to avoid controversy and since I have received no response to the source I provided from Library of Congress.--[[User:Patchouli|Patchouli]] 18:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by [[User:HighwayCello|HighwayCello]], is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.

== Just a couple of wee tips ==

Hi, just saw your edit to [[User talk:BurnsvilleisGay]], and wanted to pointr a couple things out:

When using [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|certain template tags]] on talk pages, don't forget to [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|substitute with text]] by adding '''subst:''' to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:test&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. <!-- Template:Subst --> 

and:

As a courtesy for other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign]] your [[Help:Talk page|talk page]] and [[Help:Talk_page#User_talk_pages|user talk page]] posts.  To do so simply add four [[tilde]]s (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) at the end of your comments and your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added along with a [[timestamp]]. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion).For further info see [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|the talk page guidelines]]. Thank you.

:By the way, I'd already blocked that account due to their user name. Keep up the great work mate! [[User talk:Glen S|'''<font color="#FFFF51" style="background:#535353;">&nbsp;Glen&nbsp;</font>''']] 07:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

== Mistake using Popups? ==

Re your edit: on [[Talk:Healthy diet]] "08:55, 15 February 2007 Scalene (Talk | contribs) (Revert to the revision prior to revision 108288703 dated ..."  If you look at only one previous edit it might look as if some comments were being deleted, but if you look at both previous edits you see that user Zeroin147 was merely editing the user's own comments.  You should always provide an informative edit summary when reverting (i.e. "see talk" or an actual explanation of why you're reverting, not just the Popups edit summary) unless it's obvious vandalism. I think the version you reverted to had two copies of Zeroin147's comments.  So it's not that big a deal.  --[[User:Coppertwig|Coppertwig]] 02:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

It has been nearly three months since we last worked on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Narnia/Sandbox/Minor characters in The Chronicles of Narnia|Minor characters in The Chronicles of Narnia]], which still looks very much like a draft page.

==Fair use rationale for [[:Image:Shift.jpg]]==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:Shift.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to [[:Image:Shift.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.  Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. 

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]].

== [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] ==

I removed the PROD that you placed on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] for multiple reasons. First of all, this article has been through about a dozen AfDs, so PROD doesn't qualify. Furthremore, there ''are'' multiple reliable sources that are ''specifically'' about ED itself, so it meets [[WP:WEB]]. The last AfD for this article was barely a month ago and it resulted in a keep, so taking it to AfD ''again'' would not be a good idea, as we'd only end up with a 300-page debate like with the last AfD. If you feel that the inclusion of a page on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] "encourages vandalism on Wikipedia", then I would suggest taking it up on the talk page instead.

It is the latest installment in the book series about British secret agent [[James Bond]] and was released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of late Bond creator [[Ian Fleming]]'s birthday on May 28, 1908.
* ''Me Cheeta: the Autobiography'', written by a [[ghostwriter]], is the autobiography of [[Cheeta]] the Chimp who is listed in the [[Guinness World Records]] as the oldest recorded non-human primate at the age of 76. He has appeared in various movie roles which included twelve [[Tarzan]] movies and even battled addiction to alcohol and cigars. The book is not published until October 1, but judges for the 2008 [[Guardian First Book Award]] were sent a early version and were so impressed that they have included it on the 10-strong longlist.
* [[Stephenie Meyer]], who is listed by [[Time magazine]] as one of its 100 most influential people of 2008, has decided not to continue with writing her draft for ''[[Midnight Sun (novel)|Midnight Sun]]'' after 12 chapters of the unfinished manuscript were leaked on the internet.

; Current debates 
* [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_August_25#Category:Fictional_double_agents|Categories for Discussion]] has a series of discussions about whether to categorize certain specific types of fictional characters: double agents, dictators, characters with [[eidetic memory]], etc. Advice from any Novels project members would be valuable in assisting them.
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Media franchises|WikiProject Media franchises]] aims to help editors with the coordination of articles within the thousands of media franchises which exist and has requested input from our members. They are currently [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Media franchises#Naming convention?|discussing a naming convention]] for franchise articles. Since this may affect one or more articles in our Novel project, they would like to get opinions before implimenting any changes.

; From the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels#Members|Members]]
With the Newsletter being almost three months overdue, I have decided to take on the position of Editor to make sure it reaches you regularly on time each month. The Newsletter is meant to inspire and encourage our team of Editors and so my goal shall be to make it informative and interesting each issue. 

We now have many positions vacant in our Project Team, so we are looking for members who have the time and interest to take on the various roles, details of which can be found at the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/JobCentre|Job Centre]]'''. Shortly a Coordinator nominations notice shall also be sent out to all members, which will commence the annual Coordinator selection process.

Next month's Newsletter will include a message from our Coordinator [[User:Yllosubmarine|Maria]], who will introduce herself and speak on our forthcoming elections for extra Coordinators.

== I saw your very funny infoboxes ==

And we have a few things in common. Mostly, though, do you know anything about using [[Wikimedia Commons]]?  After that, maybe we can discuss stuff like [[NCIS]], criminals, religion, and other stuff.  Deal?
