[edit] Why The Welcome?
[edit] Thanks for thatHeh, I guess I was just moving around to much and was absent-minded. Thanks for fixing my error. Sholtar 03:39, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC) [edit] User WelcomeThanks for telling me your opinion, I suppose I could take away the open task message... — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 04:02, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Recent ChangesAs an obsessive watcher of RC, I wanted to give you a nod for you're hard work. Every time I click the link to a vandal page, you've already deleted it when I've gotten there! Fantastic work! --InShaneee 04:13, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] ThanksThanks for the welcome! x3rx3s 05:53, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC) Same here, thank you for the welcome, it really is all about the Wikilove! It's cool to see that you are a fellow biologist. Hunter1084 23:37, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Thank you!Thanks a lot for the nice and big welcome! I know more or less how it works, I usually write in the Dutch Wikipedia, hence the nl behind my name. Sorry for my crippled English. --Pationl 15:30, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] lambic imageshehe, I had a lot of fun taking them and trying them, will upload more of the series to commons later this week with a bit of help from user:eloquence. I've also uploaded several pictures of beerglasses and beers to commons under the same nick. henna [edit] bierprojectoh my, I'll need help with translations for that :) I don't know all the names in english :( henna [edit] Fruit / vegetable beerAloha, and thanks for the invite. I'm not sure how much time I could contribute to the project, as I'm working on far too many things as it is at this point, but who knows, I may sign up. --Viriditas | Talk 08:57, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] BarnstarThank you; I'm glad you liked it. Now where's my barnstar?? You mean I have to work harder than that??? (Never mind; you haven't seen my rant on Wikipedia:Barnstar inflation. I'm glad you liked the box, but I just pasted it in from the article's Talk -- I thought that was your suggestion. Not to whore for attaboys, but I'd rather hear you feel I made a substantive contribution to the article with my description of what a barnstar really does. It is a purely factual comment -- to wax personal, my mother once owned a starred Victorian in Detroit, and she used to refer to the mortar as "peanut butter", and horrify visitors by digging a hole in it with her finger. She learned too late that barnstars are not mere decorations, but a sign that something is seriously wrong with a building, and that it may fall down at any time. Only after I had written that short comment did I stop to think what the analogy implies -- does barnstar inflation not suggest that the ordinary mortar holding a wiki's society together may be crumbling? — Xiongtalk 22:31, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC) [edit] Catullus 5Ok, will do! Check back in about 5 minutes and it should be changed. Ive never posted anything on here before so I'm still figuring everything out. I hope I'm responding to your message in the correct way as well! -- Its me again. I just added a short introduction to the poem, explaining a bit about it. I hope that helps. I will also create an account, I think. Thanks! [edit] GreetingHi, you're the first to send me a message welcoming me. I signed up a few months ago, but I'm still new to editing pages. I really need to figure out how to create chemistry pages, like drawing a benzene ring, a Fischer projection, chair conformation, etc. I've added several articles, but my main interest is in sustainability. --lux 03:22, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] ThanksThanks for supporting my Adminship nomination --nixie 06:19, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] UnfinishedI am not finished with the edit yet :) User:Kingsean1 23:05, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Just thought I'd say...I, like many, happily received your welcome post, albeit several months ago. I want to say:
Just thought I'd say that. --ROY YOЯ 04:15, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] UnfinishedNice to see that people are actually looking for copyright violators. I just find it easier myself to take an article or articles and edit them for useless info, to enhance it, etc. - Kingsean1
[edit] MoonwalkCould you please expand this article? Did you know doesn't take stub articles. (The one that was on DYK today was there because someone else updated). Mgm|(talk) 10:23, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC) [edit] Earthy colours templatesHi ClockworkSoul, you said on Violetriga's talk page for the new template idea that you preferred earthy colours. I've had a go at making this (as I like them too); your feedback is welcome! They are at User:Talrias/Templates. Thanks! Talrias (t | e | c) 16:29, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] WikiingHey Clockyboy, thanks for helping me out and getting me started on the right path to wikiing. Have a great day. Geluso 06:37, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] WrathWell I am having a hard time on wikipedia... Too many people HATE me with a passion, I am not talking about people who voted no on my proposal. :/ --Cool Cat My Talk 04:12, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Images from nuvola (→ reply)Hi CWS, I'm talking about Image:Important.png, Image:File important.png, Image:Xmag.png, and Image:Knewsticker.png - I've just downloaded the package from iconking.com, read the license, read the About/FAQ pages, and I haven't found anything saying they are cc-by-2.0 - the only thing I have found is that they are LGPL. Can you find out where it says they are CC? Thanks, Alphax τεχ 16:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] How to...How do I delete a Talk page? Thanks, Dirkbike 16:53, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Template imagesHey there. I'm very much liking your Coffee Roll template scheme. I've borrowed your image organisation for my new "Obvious" scheme – I hope you don't mind. violet/riga (t) 21:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you!Thank you for supporting my nomination on RfA, it failed because of Wikipedia's minority rule system, although I thought 21/8 support was sufficient. It was also cut short by 12 hours. But your vote of confidence is greatly appreciated, now let's build an encyclopedia! --Bjarki 13:57, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] The Nails (speedy deleted)Greetings, I have a question for you. I ran across an article on The Nails that had been marked as a speedy delete. I put an entry on it's talk page something to the effect that I thought that it might be better off on the regular vfd page. When I checked back later I saw that it had been deleted. I think they are probably notable enough for an article (two releases on a major label, three if you count Rough Trade and a cult hit or two). The article itself was very very stubby, one sentence about the song they are best remembered by. I would have filled it out more but I didn't want to if it was just going to be deleted. So I guess my question is how would I go about recreating it? I'd be happy to fill it out, and if appropriate, list it on vfd to get a general consensus on it. I know that recreating recently deleted material is frowned upon. Also, from reading the policy, it seems to indicate that votes for undeletion is meant for deletions that resulted from the regular vfd process. Perhaps I'm mistaken about this or that it's an acceptable path for speedy deletes as well. Anyway, any guidance on this would be appreciated! Sorry for being so long winded!! And no criticism is meant....thanks! Rx StrangeLove 01:03, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] BlockedHi, you blocked with a "PWOT vandal" reasoning. I may be a member of the PWOT community but my additions to the deletion discussion were all legal and perfectly civil. I haven't commited vandalism in any way. Can you ammend this? [edit] Mitochondrial geneticsHello. I see you've started some remodeling on mitochondria and I was hoping you could help me and a few other people do the same to the page I started on Mt Genetics... I copied it from a research paper I wrote but it need a LOT of work. Some of the information should probably be moved around to endosymbiotic theory, genetics, and even mitochondria. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated! DavidMendoza 03:46, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] BakudaiWhat's going on with User:Bakudai? He e-mailed me saying that you blocked him, which I checked and it is true that you did, and says that the block was unfair because he did not actually vandalize. It is true that he had misleading edit summaries, such as "blanking" when he did not actually blanked a page, but I do not see any vandalism, and apparently he was reverting vandalism for a while. I'm not saying that the block was wrong, just investigating. Any help would be appreciated. Academic Challenger 09:12, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] TyposNot at all; I always hope that people will find mine. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:31, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Thank YouWell thank you for unblocking me. It was a typo when I referenced you on another board, and I was posting the message more in disbelief rather than a more trojan horse sort of way. But hey, thanks again. You should put your email up so people can contact you Bakudai 17:42, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 200.30.222.170This IP has committed over thirteen reverts today on Salvador Allende. Can you please block him at this time? The situation is getting out of control; several complaints have been filed on WP:AN/3RR but nothing has been done. Thanks for your help. LevelCheck 21:25, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] 3RR blocksGood point. I was surprised that no-one had written to him on his Talk page (that's partly because he's an anon, I think), but just assumed that the 3RR had been mentioned to him at some point. I'll unblock him, and explain why on his Talk page (if you haven't already done it). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:52, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] SI UnitsRegarding your post on Talk:Chemical warfare, can you point to a policy somewhere on Wikipedia that says we use only SI units? I searched, but was unable to find one. – ClockworkSoul 22:05, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] User:211.160.80.35Can you block 211.160.80.35? I'm trying to keep up with him or her, but it's taking a fair amount of effort. Revived 03:09, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] "JImbo Wales"Thanks for dealing with that vandalbot or whatever it was. I figured someone might already been dealing with it when I mentioned it at VIP. Dare I even ask what that guy's about? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:38, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] thank youThanks for the welcome... this is a lot of fun. BTW, reading your userpage made me want a beer SO stinkin' bad! Oh well. Keep up the good vibes. Knowmoore 10:14, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC) [edit] RfC HelpI am trying to set up a RfC against a user here for gross violations of POV issues, but I just need a few tips on how to get it done. Thanks. Zscout370 11:46, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Edit to Brewery articleHey there, I saw your edit to the brewery article dated 14:16, 29 Mar 2005, in which you switched the word distributor to retailer for microbreweries. I work at a microbrewery, and in fact most breweries in the US, regardless of size, are required to sell to a distributor, due to the three-tier system. If you don't object, I'll switch it back to distributor and work on an article for the three-tier system. Abek 20:55, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) I checked the definitions at the Brewers' Association website, and they say something that is a good compromise between what I say and what you say, so I adapted the definition to fit that. Abek 05:19, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] HELPPlease unblock me (User:Fish Supper). "Jayjg" has blocked me claiming I have violated 3RR on Historicity of Jesus, which I haven't edited once!!!. And if he is talking about Jesus, then he has blocked me without blocking User:Slrubenstein as well, who made 4 more reverts than me!!!, like he is corrupt and biased or something.
[edit] Previously blocked user now vandalising againHello, the user 80.227.56.46 has again decided to vandalize the page Supreme Leader of Iran. I posted a note of this on the Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress. HappyCamper 03:53, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Featured ArticlePederasty is one of the most intelligently thought out and articulated articles I have read anywhere, and the fact that it is so given a potentially controversial topic is even more remarkable. If there is a nomination process I nominate this article for featured article :). --ShaunMacPherson 04:06, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] PatienceClockwork, sorry to bring this up again, but things do not seem to be working themselves out, yet, on the Andrew Wakefield article, and similar games are being played out at Edward Yazbak and Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, among others seriously compromised by anons. The Mark Geier article also has serious flaws now. The overriding theme encountered seems to be suppression of information and character assassination. While not surprising, given the avalanche of disinformation spewed forth by the pharmaceutical industry, the edits seem to follow a decision-tree pattern, wherein reason and common sense are left behind. It is hoped NPOV edits will be guided by a responsible balance, between gracile quality of form and robust quality of function... Ombudsman 20:59, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] My PfDIt is supposed to be a joke, anyways. I set everything up, including the vote by User:abcdef. I just want to do it for kicks, then remove it after two weeks. Zscout370 15:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] AMA Meeting ProposalHi! I put together a proposal for another AMA meeting that I'm hopeful you can chime in on. --Wgfinley 19:47, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Barnstar ideaHello, ClockworkSoul. I have an idea for a new Barnstar; before it possibly goes on Barnstar and award prop., could you please tell me what you think of it? (I'm open to disapproval. ^_^) The Resilient Barnstar is awarded to those who boldly but respectfully make their differing opinions heard in discussions, learn and improve from criticisms, or merely dare to make a difference for the better in the Wikipedia community. Recipients of this Barnstar never let mistakes or blunders impede their growth as Wikipedians, are always ready to contribute whenever it is fit, and have the ability to recover/finish with a smile. Thank you for all of your help! - Sango123 22:12, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC) P.S. I also have some image ideas for this Barnstar. Thanks again! [edit] Wikipedia is Communism VandalHey Clockwork, I was wondering if I could create a template for this specific vandal, with their own specific picture. Thoughts about Brezhnev made me draw one. It can be seen at the right. Zscout370 01:26, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] R. S. ShawSince you asked, I'm Californian. 'Shaw' is a common surname (144th most common in 1990 US census). 'Soul' on the other hand, is quite uncommon. -R. S. Shaw 19:36, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] Thank youThanks for your support on my Barnstar idea. The proposal is posted at BAP. ^_^ Sango123 20:09, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC) [edit] Whoops!I apparently got you confused with last nights sockvandal "Clockwork Soul", after seeing some of the text on WP:TFD sorry for the mistake. I just realized it after 3 reverts. :| -SV|t 13:50, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) [edit] MasturbationWould you care to register an opinon on the Masturbation Talk page as to whether a full color photograph of male masturbation is suitable for that page? Thank you. Force10 22:29, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC) |
