[edit] Nessie

Hard telling what that guy was on about; maybe just a bad hair day. Nessie is a mythical beast, like the unicorn. They can't prove the unicorn doesn't exist, either, I reckon. Wahkeenah 23:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

  • This discussion inspired me to lookup the Unicorn and to write a short summary of James Thurber's little story, The Unicorn in the Garden, whose moral vaguely applies to the over-reaction of that one guy, or anyone else who appears to be off his meds. :) Wahkeenah 23:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Sometimes it can be fun to set a verbal trap for someone who's got a rag on. It's a literal application of this old Carnac joke: "Debate." "What do you use to catch de fish?"

No personal attacks were made, "samp" is not an insult, and the second half of the reply was obvious light hearted sarcasm. --NEMT 00:02, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry - The rvv for the bot that removed links to deleted userboxes, which for my own reasons I want to keep. Thanks for the award I will keep it on the page in respect of your work on it, although I'm not all that sure I agree the whole concept of them. My circumstances have changed recently and I will probably not be around as often as I was. Jooler 00:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Hello!

Thank you for participating in my RfA! Unfortunately, it ended with a final result of (32/31/5) which no consensus was achieved. Nevertheless, I'd like to thank you again for your comments and to keep an eye out for me within the next 3 months. If you would like to give any helpful advice, please contact me via my suggestions page for my next RfA. :) SynergeticMaggot 23:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KarlV

I'm sorry you got caught in the broadly cast net there by Connel MacKenzie. My take on KarlV remains that he should not return until he stops seeing neonazi ghosts everywhere, says so explicitly, apologises for his comments in that direction, and revises his slanderous comments on the German Wikipedia. This is an appropriate request since he attacked pschemp and myself in our capacity as admins on en, rather than editors of de. If he does not admit he has been very, very wrong, he will just cause further dissent between admins and editors, and Wikipedia really doesn't need this. But thanks for taking an interest in the debate. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 09:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's a difficult situation, since we don't have a crystal ball. Of course we'd like KarlV to contribute if he's going to be a positive influence, but, well, I guess I'll have to bring this up again in the discussion sooner or later, there is at least one previous example of him edit warring on the German Wikipedia, which was tolerated at the time. [1] If it was just his 3RR and WP:POINT violation, I'd be more likely to agree, but there's also the fact that he's stirred up conflict between the German and English Wikipedias, partly by refusing to translate comments so that they could be properly examined by English Wikipedians, and by refusing to let me translate them for him. The German Wikipedia is definitely more tolerant, and in some ways, this is a good thing. But we're a different animal over here, and we have to deal with this difference. Unsubstantiated neonazi accusations are definitely out of place in either context. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 10:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Gunniog, I appreciate that you think an indef block might be too long. If KarlV apologizes for the neo-nazi insinuations he made, I would be willing to consider a shorter block. So far though, his "apologies" have neither admitted any wrong doing (only to a semantic mistake in English!) and just basically said, I'm sorry you guys are upset with my actions. Real evidence of his understanding of the serious implications of his actions and insinuations would go far here.pschemp | talk 13:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thanks so much for voting, Guinnog!
Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future!

[edit] Goldom's RFA thanks

Thank you for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (53/2/1). I've spent the day trying out the new tools, and trying not to mess things up too badly :). I was quite thrilled with all the support, both from the people I see around every day, as well as many users who I didn't know from before, yet wrote such wonderful things about me. I look forward to helping to serve all of you, and the project. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 04:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Long overdue Review

Hi Guinnog, I finally managed to get a few good hours to complete my review of your contributions. Its here. First sorry this took so long - my real life commitments have kept me busy recently.

Overall I think you have a great deal to be proud of. The only concern I have, which I outline in the review, is the discussion at Talk:7_World_Trade_Center where you had a couple of moments of less than perfect civility. I also think this is one of those occasions where the issue was probably not worth the amount of effort spent debating it. This is my view only, of course, and I absolutely don't think this should be an impediment to you considering an RfA.

Talking of which, I think you're ready for adminship. You have good, demonstrated knowledge of policy and you are an excellent contributor to the encyclopedia. If you are still interested, I'd be honored to nominate you.

If you decide to go ahead with an RfA then I'd update the review a bit (some of the edit counts are a couple of weeks old) and use it as the basis for my nominating statement.

Good luck, Gwernol 14:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem at all. Just let me know when you've come to a decision. My opinion is that you'll get strong support in an RfA, but what do I know? I thought mine would be a 50-50 sort of outcome and was very pleasantly surprised to get through unopposed :-) I think you'd be a huge asset to the project as an admin and I believe your peers will see the same virtues in your contributions that I do. Once you are ready in real life to do this, give me the nod. You are exactly right to make sure you have the time available to do this right. All the best, Gwernol 14:53, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree, wait till you have enough time in 'real life' to do it, but other than that I a look at the review Gwernol did for you suggests you're ready. Of course I am an amazingly bad predictor of non-blindingly obvious RFA results, but AFAIK you should be ok. Petros471 15:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Guinnog, RfA + you = Very Good thing. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 07:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

yeah, I know the feeling! :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 07:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the typos in the review. I've just got back from a few days in Beijing (highly recommended by the way), so I'm ready to get your RfA underway whenever you are. Best, Gwernol 15:11, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, and yes I did :) Petros471 15:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion#Portal:Orkney

A Portal created recently by Mallimak (talk • contribs) - the Orkney Portal - has been nominated for deletion. If you wish to take part in the discussion please contribute at:

Thanks. --Mais oui! 08:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

That's one heck of a coincidence! I was just about to press the Save page button on the above message when I received the message from you at my Talk. I am afraid that I strongly disagree with you when you say that he is a "good editor" - he has made so, so many bad faith edits now that his reputation is far beyond redemption for me. --Mais oui! 08:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
"I just wish that we could turn his energies into more productive directions" <heh> <heh> - the pained cry of every poor parent on the planet as they gaze in awe at their troubled/troublesome offspring!
Well, I have no paternal feelings whatsoever towards you-know-who, and I fail to see why we should waste our time weaning him and changing his poopy nappies while he develops a sense of good citizenship and responsibility. --Mais oui! 08:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Dear Guinnog, I would just like to make it clear to you, that I never started this altercation with Mais oui! I just wanted to contribute articles about Orkney, a place I know a lot about. Instead, I have found my articles being altered to represent a POV (a POV I do not wish to be inadvertently contributing to). You will surely understand that I do not want my efforts to be twisted to serve someone else’s agenda. Now the situation has escalated to the proposed destruction of pages am I working hard on to create.
A suggestion has been made as to how to resolve this issue, namely: that if Mais oui! will agree not to edit any article originated by me, in return I will agree not to edit any article originated by Mais oui! I think this would be a fair solution. I just want to get on contributing articles on Orkney unmolested.
Regards, Mallimak 18:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I GIVE UP!

I have tried to contribute articles on topics about which I have knowledge, such as Orkney, but the articles have been subjected to constant destructive editing, and I have been subjected to repeated harassment, mainly by Mais oui!, that I see no point in continuing.

I have now joined the ever-growing category of disillusioned Wikipedians. Mallimak 01:07, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd be sorry to see you leave. In spite of the criticisms I've made of you, I think you could offer a lot to the project. I'd like to talk to you more about that, if you like. Feel free to email me. --Guinnog 01:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Unneeded spelling change with AWB...

You changed "humourous" to "humorous" in the Ola Bergner article. Please keep in mind in the future that these type of changes (where there are regional variations in spelling for a word) are discouraged on Wikipedia, and that generally you should keep an article in the spelling style that it was written in. For more info, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (spelling). Thanks. --Esn 01:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC).

How humorous, can you tell me in which region the word "humourous" is spelled like this? --Paul Le Cont 02:07, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Humorous vs humourous isn't a regional variation, it's a spelling error. There is no national version of English where 'humourous' is above a tiny minority use. Well done for standing up for regional variation, something I always try to do myself. --Guinnog 01:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Here is where I attempted to establish that 'humorous' is the main spelling worldwide. I hope you'll find the discussion as compelling as I did. [3] --Guinnog 01:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing me to that link - it was indeed interesting. It might save you some controversy in the future to link to that discussion in your edit comments whenever you change "humourous" to "humorous" if possible - as you said there, it is quite a common spelling on wikipedia. Perhaps that is where I subconsciously picked it up, or perhaps I simply thought it illogical that the commonwealth adjective would use the American spelling as its base. Anyway, thanks for correcting me. I've been using "publically" too - I'm just a trove of bad spelling habits, I guess. I do have a suspicion that those two spelling variations (or errors) are becoming more widespread than they were in the past. The exact location of the line that something has to cross until it ceases being a spelling error and becomes a regional spelling variation has always been a bit murky to me, but I guess I'll leave that one to the experts to figure out (even if I have the nagging suspicion that they haven't got a clue either). Anyway, good day to you. :) --Esn 03:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC).
My pleasure, but it seems there will be no need (see above). Congirl 12:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

Do you use IRC? If so are you able to go online now? Petros471 11:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I can go on now for a short time. I'll hang around in the wikipedia channel, you can grab me there now if you are free. Petros471 21:24, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
I've just sent you a test email, to see if you can receive it ok. Petros471 15:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm. Worryingly, I haven't received it, though I've had several emails from wikipedians before. --Guinnog 17:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm indeed. It's from the same address that you emailed me on (as that's the one attached to Wikipedia). Have you checked any spam folder you may have? Petros471 17:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I checked that. --Guinnog 17:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Related: did you receive my reply to your email from today? That may tell us if its just Petros or something at your end. Gwernol 17:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I got yours ok Gwernol. I also exchanged a few emails with Petros earlire on the same account, so I can't see where the problem lies. Thinking. --Guinnog 17:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I've put your RfA nomination up at: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Guinnog. When you are ready to accept, please answer the standard questions, sign the nomination and let me know and I'll add it to the RfA page. Alternatively since we're in different time zones, you can add it yourself after accepting, but remember to update the date and time when you do so. Good luck, though I don't think you'll need it as your record stands for itself. Gwernol 07:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much for all your hard work in preparing this nomination, and for the kind things you say about me in it. Best wishes, --Guinnog 12:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Good luck, of course. By the way, I thought your reply to Samsara's opinion was exemplary and shows why you'll be a great admin. Gwernol 12:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yes we have no bananas

Just a note to say my concern about fully sourcing things as much as possible really relates to other more contentious articles. Had a bit more fun with searching which brought me some nostalgic stuff about other local history, and one link about conditions when the block was fairly new. No doubt other improved references can be added as resources permit. Thanks for doing so much with a wee bit of Leith's "heritage" :) ..dave souza, talk 06:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Humourous

Is it spelled this way in British English? I notice you have a bot making the change from this to Humorous. Is it Humour but Humorous? I ask because I have recently reverted the bots change on Falcon (sport) assuming the u is not lost with the addition of -ous. (John User:Jwy talk) 15:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I similarly came here after your bot edited Tech Tabloid, and have subsequently read the other comments on thsi in another section and Wikipedia_talk:Typo#Dictionary.com. I think that a reference to this discussion in the edit comment would be helpful.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.25.22.11 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Band is Anti-Heros, not Anti-Heroes

The proper spelling of American Oi! band is Anti-Heros. I'm not sure if you're the same person who keeps changing it to Anti-Heroes, but it has incorrectly been altered many times. http://www.geocities.com/anti_heros_oi/index.html Spylab 18:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)Spylab

I don't think so, but I'll certainly bear that in mind in the future. Why not put an invisible note to editors on the page you are concerned about? I can help you with this if necessary. --Guinnog 19:02, 27 August 2006

Your Spellmaster bot appears to be translating British English into American English (see this edit, this edit) as forbidden by the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (spelling).

[edit] SmackBot and ISBN

I've noticed your bot making changes to a lot of book articles. Can you point me to a standard for quoting ISBN, as I've (wrongly?) always just quoted them as one long number in articles I write. If this is wrong, I'd like to be able to improve how I do it. Thanks --Guinnog 10:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

They are based on a table found on the ISBN Agency's web site here. I assume you know that the first part is language group, the second publisher (within lang group) the third a serial number and the last a check digit.

Thank you all very much for your support and congratulations. I will thank all participants properly when I can; I didn't prepare anything as I quite honestly didn't expect to succeed. Wow! The pint of Guinness sounds a good idea! --Guinnog 13:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I did not support your candidacy, but I have a better feeling than most candidates that I oppose that you're going to take the issues and concerns raised on board, and I look forward to working with you. Every best wish for your success. ++Lar: t/c 13:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations. Although I opposed, I think it's very likely I was wrong this time. Happy editing! -- SCZenz 01:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
