[edit] Graphics in two modes

Thanks for helping with Wikipedia:Graphics in two modes. If you're a Linux or Windows user, I'd really like to see you contribute an alternative workstation -- indeed, if I can talk you into any further contributions at all, I shall. — Xiong熊talk* 13:37, 2005 May 1 (UTC)

[edit] Bryce Harrington

Hi -- Since you've worked on the Inkscape article, I thought you might be interested in the fact that the Bryce Harrington article is up for deletion.--Bcrowell 03:41, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks. WikiThanks.

I would like to express my thanks to all the good people who spent their valuable time time and effort working on my (failed) RfA voting. Especially for those who actually voted to support me :). You put a great effort into it, it was me who mixed up everything. Lets move on and make together our Wikipedia an even greater place abakharev 09:40, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks for your voting!

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper. Thank you very much, once more! abakharev 07:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In-Universe Perspective

If you look at the page linked to by the tag, it has a better explanation of the form that articles on fictional subjects should take than I can probably give on a talk page. Phil Sandifer 02:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phil Sandifer

Hey there buddy - I noticed you got Philled recently. I think Phil is completely out of control. I've been following his recent trail of destruction - he seems to be waging a war on all things fictional. His opinion (as seen on the Wiki MoS) seems to be that "Wikipedia is about the real world, and things that happen in other worlds are of interest to Wikipedia only insofar as they provide context for things in the real world."

While I can see the point that some fan commentary can be obsessively detailed I would make two observations. First, I think the "in-universe perspective" is still a bit hazy. While it should be made clear when a plot summary is fictional, pretty much all book, television, and movie plot summaries are most easily presented from an in-universe perspective. Heck, I'd say 99% are (and the other 1% are rubbish). Second, Phil's aggressive way of trying to deal with his latest pet peeve is not particularly constructive.

Anyway, I just thought I'd drop you a line. Dr Aaron 13:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. You can count on me for providing my view of the matter if some discussion or arbitration ensues. Just drop me a note then. Trapolator 02:39, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
