User talk:Brian Olsen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I find when I click on someone's else talk page, I get annoyed having to go back and forth between someone else's talk page to follow a discussion. So on my own talk page, I include my own comments (lifted from whoever's talk page I posted them on) in italics. In case you're just that fascinated in my conversations.

Hey there stud Nixon here. I find you lurking in the funniest places. Haven't heard much from you since BrightRoom production. I've been doing my geeky-Wiki thing. Completely re-authored the Stikfas page, and am going to begin working on the many web-comixpedia pages that need help.

Drop me an email when you get a chance. Good to see you virtual. Nixon 17:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Star Trek/Doctor Who userboxes

Hi - I read your vote on the template deletion page. As far as I can see, the new template allows you to specify which series you are a fan of, so you end up with an identical userbox, and placed in the category for that specific series. Before I vote, I guess I'm wondering if you saw something I missed. Thanks! --Brian Olsen 18:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello Brian. I have noticed the same explanation. However, I am not sure if the proposed solution would allow me to check who else is a fan of, say, the Voyager series which is something I can do now (as there is a special template for each series). The way I see it, the new solution would just let you specify the show on your user page, but we would be all under the same generic Star Trek heading. I may be wrong though.

After extensive testing on my talk page, I have discovered I was wrong. I will write an explanation on the project page and retract my keep vote. RedZebra 19:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to see before I cast my own vote. --Brian Olsen 20:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes discussion

I've moved a transcluded discussion about userboxes to a subpage at User talk:Brian Olsen/Userboxes.

[edit] ArbCom

I’m bothered by the wording of the category in which you've placed me above: "They're not (as) militant about it, but, through either unawareness of the unethical tactics by the above group, or quiet acceptance of it, they seem to be allied with the gang." I don’t care for the implication that my opinion is based either on ignorance or on acceptance of unethical tactics. Have you used this wording elsewhere? Putting this on your talk page is one thing, but if you've put it on any page related to the arbitration, I’d like the opportunity to refute it. Thanks. --Brian Olsen 06:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Regardless of whether or not your name is used anywhere in the ArbCom proceeding, you are more than welcome to participate by adding a statement or evidence at any time. In fact, I encourage you to make your viewpoint known, and to participate in the Workshop page.  :) --Elonka 19:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for changing the wording when you posted this on the Evidence page. I don't completely agree with your description of the first group, but I appreciate you removing the implications I mentioned from your reference to me. --Brian Olsen 00:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. And thank you for your courtesy.  :) --Elonka 00:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
