[edit] RE: Farsi wikipedia blocked

Well, no big surprise. This justifies the reason I came to Canada. Anyway, I'm used to this kind of stuff. Thanks for informing me. Have a nice day :-) --Arad 21:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Laser

Warning removed Martinp23 20:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I accidentally reverted to a blanked version, but quickly changed it ([1] diff). AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 23:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that - I've removed the warning now :) Thanks for reporting the issue. Martinp23 20:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks, but how do i use the sceenshot in an article?

Alright, it's done. Take a look at the Talk:Age of Empires III: The War Chiefs discussion article.Bluepaladin 23:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

But 250 is too small. Preview it that way.

300 is still too small. Perhaps 500? A screenshot of the Battle of Bunker Hill level.

Good point. How do you put a box around it?

Voila. Check the actual Article now.

I'm sorry but no thanks. However, I did add 2 shots of petards to the article.

I love seeing things asplode, too (thats why i put both) but there's no raining fire. The cloud fades then the building crumbles. And if there was, I couldnt go back in time to take a 3rd picture. In both cases that would be cool.

A 3rd picture is up. The last one I have.

[edit] Down syndrome

Just a note: I disagree with the revert of the "will improve" - it's not vandalism, the editor is right - medical articles should be descriptive, not prescriptive. Sandy (Talk) 00:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem, it was confusing, considering the level of vandalism. I'd change it myself, but with all the activity on the article today, I don't want to brush up to 3RR myself. Sandy (Talk) 00:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support

It's nice to know that there's someone that I can relate to. It also warms my heart to know that there are actually people who care about me. So, from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you to you for helping me realize that I am not completely flawed. It is people like you that Wikipedia needs, not certain other people who shall remain nameless. Fredil 00:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC) P.S.: Oooh, you play real-time strategy games. Do you play StarCraft? Or Warcraft 3? Fredil 00:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hehehe. No problem with you adding yourself to my list of friends :P Fredil 02:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

You brightened up my day. Image:SoleteRayosÑajo.gif Tennis DyNamiTe (sign in) 02:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

For your birthday greeting. How did you know I like baloons? Cheers :) GizzaChat © 06:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome

You're welcome. My dog does the copyediting, but I see this as no reason not to claim credit for her work. Rintrah 13:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sorry

Whoops, sorry about accidentally restoring a vandalized version of Mount Rushmore just now. Peace, delldot | talk 14:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Vandalism?

I just don't understand what you were talking about on my talk page about Mike Knox. His pay-per-view debut is a notable event and I was explaining what he did at the pay per view. I was improving the page and not damaging it. Thank you. 66.235.37.57 15:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow!!!

Wow...Thanks that was unexpected. I didn't know I seemed intellectual for my age, thanks again that made my day — Seadog 00:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks I hope I will be a good admin and of course become one. I am trying to be an influence to the youngsters out there. Cheers and keep up the good work...I have been seeing you every where on my watch list lately. That is a great sign. — Seadog 00:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Risk, per your comment on the Talk page

As far as I have been able to determine, Risk has no steady, solid contributors that have really made it their own unlike many other pages. There are several like myself who keep down vandalism and spam, but it isn't the same. I don't really know how a "peer review" works, but I can tell you what is wrong with the article right now.

  1. The rules are poorly summarized. The gist of the game gets lost in unnecessary details.
  2. There are too many "Computer implementations" linked. In my opinion this should be limited to just the Hasbro implementation rather than including the dozens of others, but concensus is against me.
  3. There is too much trivia.
  4. There isn't actually an overview of the game.

In conclusion, I'd be very willing to help in the rewriting and improvement of the article. I'd be willing to assist with a peer review. Unfortunately, at the moment I don't really have the time to do more than an hour here or there. Hope my comments were helpful. You can reply here or on my talk page, but I'll see it sooner on my Talk page. Thanks, Dan Slotman 03:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we need to write before a peer review as there is a lot of bulk there from previous contributions. It isn't as if the article is a stub. However, I'm disappointed to see that none of the other contributors have responded on the talk page. They certainly show up when any of their precious external links are removed. I'm taking a look at it now, so may have something a bit later. 24.31.13.129 00:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
I've more-or-less finished my edits to Risk. In my opinion the rules summary is much improved, though no doubt this can still be tweaked. There is an actual overview, though it is still short and somewhat boring. I didn't touch the trivia or computer implementations. (Previous comment was also me--I must have signed out before posting for some reason.) Dan Slotman 23:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're Welcome

You're most welcomed. By the way, I wrote the word "plain" because I thought that my signature was a bit boring and I might change I soon. Thank you. Acs4b 14:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Christmas

Okay, we'll d it on Christmas and I was going to finalize the template (aren't they so impersonal, though I made it so it says exactly what I would say to someone). Happy X-mas/Winterval! —¡Randfan! 20:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll probably use 2... And by the way, I celebrate Christmas and Life Day (I know it's weird...) in case you wanted to know. —¡Randfan! 21:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I have a friend to whom I introduced it to... He's not a Wikipedia, though. —¡Randfan! 21:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:LAVT

Hey I hopefully answered your question about the rollback feature on my talk page. Cheers. — Seadog 21:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

This could also be a factor, What browser do you use? — Seadog 21:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh? =

This was not an experiment, am actually writing a wiki for a website, videosift. Someone has already deleted my previous attempts to do so? Why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Farhadz (talkcontribs) 11:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Hidden message on Wrexham

Any reason why you removed it? Proto:: 16:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

It's necessary, believe me. Proto:: 16:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merci

Bonjo (using my lovely fRENCH skills), and !thank you! for your comment on my wonderful page. I myself have travelled buttons and links all over Wikipedia, and alas found your domain amidst the great ocean of Wikipedians. You shall never find out about how I came to know about you, and so instead I advise you to use your time effectively, making valued edits to the greatest page of all time - Pineapple. Bye, or as our beloved French may say/cough it, Baguette Oh laalAAAthis is not my sandwichARGHHH. Farewell, Bhaveer 19:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Its all a dream Nothing is real... except for Tweety Pie, my greatest companion in life, although there is no life as nothing is real.... HAHA!!! You lost the game... no!!! the game! Oh *~#@ Bhaveer 19:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

I reverted vandalism on your userpage. Check the history. — Seadog 20:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "You have new messages" box.

Please remove the joke - I was going to ask User:63.163.173.154 to ask about the vandalism warning here, but since 63's new I didn't want him/her to be confused by the box. I've been here enough years to get the joke, but it's not helping to build the encyclopedia if it confuses new users. -- Jeandré, 2006-12-09t23:52z

Thanks. -- Jeandré, 2006-12-10t10:39z

[edit] Autograph

The pleasure is mine, Andonic. I never knew collecting signatures was a Wikipedian hobby. Maybe I'll do it in the future... -- Altiris Exeunt 11:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I enjoyed your autograph book, Andonic, and while I don't want my own user page listed with autograph books, because it isn't one, I do have a Guestbook which visitors to my Wikipedian Signature Art Gallery there may sign. Thank you again for adding to the enjoyment of users and editors on the 'pedia! Athænara 16:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Excellent Job!

Wow, you are doing a great job at the reference desk(s), I have been starting to help out in my spare time. Keep up the great work. Cheers! — Seadog 13:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Also we have both been attacked by vandals lately, yesterday my page was vandalized twice and the day before twice! In total my page has been attacked 25 times. Cheers and keep up the good work. — Seadog 13:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Wow I have reverted vandalism to your page again! Check the history, wow. — Seadog 14:01, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, sometimes vandalism can be seen as funny...He/she has vandalized my page now! — Seadog 14:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] what happended

What happened to the joke message bar at the top of your talk page? Just curious. — Seadog 14:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thanks!

No problem. Good luck on that article. JimmyBlackwing 17:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

This is Why1991 and I need some help on something. On my user page I have my pictures that link to my user subpages. I was wondering how I could organize them all across the top horizantly instead of up and down verticaly like it is now.

I was also wondering is there any way I can figure out how many edits I have without counting them out by hand, or at least a userbox that does the same.

[edit] Admin coaching, etc.

Are you ready to get started?

The waiting time over at Admin coaching is long (some people have been waiting in line since July). I'm an admin coach with the project, and for my students I set up a group discussion page so that we could all learn from each other. The scope of this concept has expanded into the Virtual classroom, which is an open forum for the teaching and learning of advanced Wikipedia skills.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, as a student, as a coach, or both. Every week or two a new major topic of discussion or classroom assignment is introduced, usually with a guest writer who presents his or her expertise on the current subject and who remains on hand to answer questions. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussions, such as sharing your expertise, asking and answering questions, etc.

The current topic of discussion is vandalism, and our guest writer is Budgiekiller.

All discussions are open-ended, so all previous discussion topics and classroom assignments are still there for viewing and further participation. There are also sections for posting miscellaneous topics and questions, requesting coaching assistance, etc.

In addition to inviting those who would like to learn, I routinely invite experts from all over Wikipedia to come and contribute for the benefit of all. The VC is rapidly turning into a clearing house of the best resources, methods, and techniques known for working on Wikipedia.

You are cordially invited to participate.

Here's an announcement box which you can place on your userpage or at the top of your talk page for keeping up to date with classroom assignments.
