[edit] Satire

Satire page is a mess. Can you help? Someone rewrote it @ Nov. 13 and has no idea what he's talking about. I think he may be the one who started the page. I've been in discussion with him for a few days, but he contradicts himself. I'd like to revrt it to what it was Nov 12 or so, but i don't know how. He may leave it if we revert. I have not been too confrontational and tried win him over a bit. He says satire is subtle, and that its not, drops names and gives no explanations. When I pointed this out he thanked me?! He didn't realize? Anyway, its a little wierd and frustrating. I wrote the "Meno" page. Have a look when you get a chance. I hope you are having a good semester, my young friend.Brenda maverick 12:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I got the wrong week, of course. The dates in my note is wrong. The satire page botch job took place on Nov. 6 or so. Brenda maverick 12:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] humor

Hello Dylan,

I only started using Wikipedia, and I thought I could add a little humour to the site. I am sorry, and I won't do it again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.50.36.79 (talkcontribs).

-- Also sorry for the humor I attempted to add.. you have to admit though, Papadopolous is a pretty hilarious name for a dictator. -- Ryan 11:50PM 12/11/06

This article is nothing but a collection of links. I don't know of a relevant policy to apply to cut down on this (especially if no other content is added), but thought you might. Joshua

[edit] Please stop the GNU search and replace

The text GNU/Linux currently points to a redirect. Your current search-and-replace activities violate WP policy (I won't dig out the rule just yet). Please find a better use for your energy. Gronky 11:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Just to explain more nicely: please see Wikipedia:Redirects#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken. Thanks! Fut.Perf. 12:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC) My apologies, didn't look closely enough - what you did was perfectly reasonable. Fut.Perf. 12:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi. FYI, I didn't see that "GNU/Linux" had been turned into a dab page, so when I saw your string of edits, I thought you were doing something political so I asked the admins for whether the string of edits should be rolled back or what to do. They pointed out my mistake. I expect that GNU/Linux will return to permenantly being a redirect soon. So your activies did not violate WP policy, sorry about my mistake.

Hi Dylan, thanks for the message. I copy and paste the diagrams to paint.NET as bitmaps and from there I have been saving them as jpeg, but in future I will save them as PNG, there is no SVG option. Grumpyyoungman01 02:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please tell User:Dacy69 to stop vandalizing

Dacy69 keeps on adding all these information on Armenian related articles and he is trying to prove that Armenians were never urartians when it doesn't even state that he has been doing this so many times and we have reverted alot. All he does is add it up again. Nareklm 04:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weird

Look up vandalism in the dictionary. I just made a comment about how Arnie might seem shorter now than in the past because of spinal constriction with age. If you're not smart enough to understand that, that's not my problem. I'm no wikipedian (i.e. loser) and I don't give a damn whether the article keeps my addition or not, but don't be a prick and call me a vandal.

Have a nice day. :) (A reply is not necessary, since I will not be visiting this site any time soon) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.132.23.138 (talkcontribs).

[edit] Wikipedia Weekly Notification!

This is just a friendly reminder that Wikipedia Weekly has been released with a new episode!

Actually, it's a couple of new episodes. I've been moving to an place closer to campus (my commute was getting to me) and hence, the reminder message was a little slow in coming out. So slow we put out 2 where before we had 1.

Anyways, all is good now, here's the new episodes!

As always you can download old episodes and more at http://wikipediaweekly.com/!

[edit] Concordia Newsletter

NEWSLETTER

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.

[edit] Help out now!

  • Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
  • Give people the Civility Barnstar.
  • Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
  • Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
  • Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.

We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.

[edit] Decision Making

The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.

If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.
