[edit] Signpost

Not sure if you are aware, but the signpost (Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost) is a great way to keep up on site-related issues. A new issue is out today. Raul654 08:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Sorry to bother you again, but one more thing -- for public domain or copyleft files, it's generally preferred that those be uploaded the Wikimedia Commons. Files on commons are shared among all Wikimedia projects (so that, for example, we don't thes ame image 17 times on 17 different languages/projects). Raul654 07:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accidental reversion

Hi, the article you are editing was being edited so quickly that I accidentally reverted you along with someone else. I was trying to revert a non-UK spelling. Cheers.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 16:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Bluemoose/Uncategorised good articles

There doesn't appear to be too many people helping out on User:Bluemoose/Uncategorised good articles. Keep up the good and necessary work! Stormbay 17:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apology for vandalism

I'm sorry for what was done to the'Courtney Cox' page but that was my brother. from User:McDoodle originally blanked my user page --Rajah 15:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rajnarayan Chandavarkar & India related

Hi, thanks for tagging the above as a copyvio. It had been reverted to an earlier, non-copyvio version. In future, could you pl. check the history of the article to see if it could be reverted to a non-copyvio version and revert it yourself? TIA, --Gurubrahma 05:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Earthrise

The Earthrise thing you mentioned is interesting. The phenomenon is of the Earth seen rising from below the horizon of another astronomical body. This can be achieved in various ways, all of which require the correct movement relative to the Earth. You can be standing on a body rotating relative to the Earth (the Moon doesn't do this, as various people have tried to explain in a few sentences - it generally takes more words than that to explain it). You can be in a spacecraft orbiting the body (in this case the Moon). You could also be moving on the surface of the Moon, walking, running, or in a vehicle like a moon rover, and in the correct location, you will see the Earth rising over the horizon as you travel towards it. A less spectacular sort of Earthrise would also be possible in rotating space stations in high Earth orbit. Once every rotation, the Earth would pass across the field of vision. The same thing is seen with sunrises seen from Earth orbit. I think saying the Sun is rising above the limb (see the 'other meanings section') of the Earth is more correct than calling it a sunrise. Ditto for the Earthrise. The Earth is rising above the limb of the Moon, though at what point the limb becomes a horizon is debatable. Thanks for bring this interesting issue up.

[edit] re: Hoaxers

If this really is a hoax, I would guess that those are socks created for the purpose of perpetuating the hoax. I think the afd should play out before anyone gets a warning. If the article is real, these people have some remarkably specialized knowledge (given the complete absence in anything I've searched) and we've already bitten them a little.

[edit] Yeast merger

There is a poll about merging Yeast and Yeast (baking). Please comment at Talk:Yeast (baking). I've put your name under the Oppose section for now. —Quarl (talk) 2006-12-18 11:31Z

[edit] Change to Common.css

Per recent discussions, the way in which Persondata is viewed by Wikipedia editors has changed. In order to continue viewing Persondata in Wikipedia articles, please edit your user CSS file to display table.persondata rather than table.metadata. More specific instructions can be found on the Persondata page. --ShakingSpirittalk on behalf of Kaldari 01:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wyoming Incident

I reverted your edit to Lusk, Wyoming, on the grounds that there's nothing corroborating the "Wyoming Incident" besides the one video on Google. The story is, however, very interesting if (in some way) true. If you have any other sources, would you mind telling me about them? I'd gladly restore and improve everything related if I could establish the veracity of the "Wyoming Incident". Thunderbunny 03:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Don't know if you still care, but check this out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=K21YdhuxjlM Thunderbunny 03:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
The plot thickens...there's a third video (do a Google Video search for "Danny's Collection"), an associated blog at http://warningunknownvideos.blogspot.com/ (which has actually had posts deleted over the course of the day) and an enigmatic message board at http://thehappycube.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1171567148 ...not too sure I like the direction it's taking, since it's seems to be resembling a bad horror movie more and more, rather than the somewhat creative Alternate Reality Game it seemed to be starting out as.

[edit] The Flaming Lips WikiProject

Thanks for your support for the Flaming Lips WikiProject. I should have known better than to just create it and let it sit there... See, I was working on Zaireeka, which seemed to have the greatest potential to become a high-quality article in the least amount of time. I planned to finish it, and use it as a poster child of sorts for the project. Obviously, I was mistaken, and have begun advertising, if you will, on the band's web forum. Thnaks for joining the project and I look forward to working with you. ALso, there's a new userbox if you want to add it to your User page: User:MajorB/Userboxes/WP_Flips.

I suppose the first thing to do once getting members is to start putting together plans and begin coordinating on article work. SHould we start by pushing for certain articles, or perhaps do a wide sweep of all the articles, making them uniform in however we want them all to be structured and filling them with basic information? -MajorB 20:40, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pushing for certain articles

I think concentrating on The Flaming Lips, Zaireeka and Wayne Coyne is a good idea, although I would also like to push for Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots as well, since the corresponding chapter from the Staring at Sound book is also online. I have been working on Zaireeka for a couple weeks now, and it is currently being copyedited (by User:Gracenotes) and is nominated for GA... It still needs work for FA status, though. Improving The Flaming Lips should be the most important goal, however, as it should be the center of information on the group, branching out into the various articles for everything Lips-related... It currently needs verification, expansion, updating and possibly restructuring. I plan on getting a copy of SaS sometime in the future, so I can broaden the articles I can edit. -MajorB 21:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
