Userbox correction

Thanks for that correction, though I am not quite sure what the deal was. It had moved from "generic" User box to one in the care and feeding of a User? Hm. Anyway, thanks. In other news, Elana just sent me the most fabulous photo; e-mail me and I'll send you the link to it. Evertype 08:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• I don't have your email address, Michael, though I think I saw the photo. We IM all the time. :-) - Alison^✍ 00:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi Ali-oops, many thanks for the revert of my homepage! Who is this Robert Sieger, by the way? A well-known troll? :-) --Bogart99 10:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Cupertino

Welcome to Silicon Valley, Ali-oops!! JXM 01:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Congrats

On your move and welcome to the US of A. Bastique▼^parler _voir 23:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Cupertino

You're not working for the second Evil Empire of computing perchance :p - Cork to Cupertino, seems like too much of a coincidence ;). --Kiand 00:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sitting in a room with three of them (none on, one's charging though) and probably use them more than anything else, but I can't make myself accept that I'm a Mac user :p. Anyway, good luck in the States, you'll probably be longing for Irish rain after a few years solid of Californian sunshine. --Kiand 04:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

re:anon user

He also doesn't know he's banned! User:Aidan Work, permanently banned for homophobic and racist/religious attacks, as well as attempting to damn users to hell, regular 3RR's, oh I could go on. Thanks for warning him. --Kiand 14:08, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Burning Man Regional Events Infobox

I've started putting together an Infobox that can go on the Burning Man type events pages. When you have a few moments and can look at the example I've put together, I'd appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks, and Burn On! SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 13:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Template tidying

Good work – much nicer to look at! —Serein 20:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Oh - thank you! :) - Alison^✍ 00:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks

thansk for calling it fine, took me hella long to get it all together =) !!Qrc2006 22:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• I actually meant to say 'great' but yeah, well done! :-) - Alison^✍ 05:33, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment

Hey - is the comment you left on my talk page directed to User:Janniejdoe? I'm a little confused. alphaChimp^(talk) 06:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, it is. I tried to reason but they blanked my commentary. I gave up in disgust - Alison^✍ 06:31, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• • That change makes it a little more clear. Thanks. Personally, I'd leave Janniej alone for a few hours to let things cool down a little bit. Have a great night, alphaChimp^(talk) 06:35, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't feel bad about the Toby Meltzer conflict

You really didn't start any of the conflict and I think the article is still in good standing. I got feed up with Jannie and went to bed and hopefully she had an opportunity to cool down as well. I think we all have the best of interests at heart, we just had a few lines of communication get crossed. Again, don't feel bad and I apologize for my part in the matter.

Dearest Ali

Just dropping a word to see if yourself and your child are alright, as I have not being in touch for months. All the best, Fergananim 13:17, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Great!

You're very kind, Alison, and I sinerely hope you have not and will never have to go thorough anything remotely as bad as what I have. Sunny California! What did Cork do to ye, ha ha! Thanks for your kind words; cheers, Fergananim 14:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Pmail

Have just done so. Fergananim 15:44, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Skerries, county dublin article

the information i added was not nonsense. i didnt add it all i just copyed and pasted some information you had deleted. if you lived in the area you would understand the article. all of the text is truthfull —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schemed (talk • contribs)

• Unfortunately, the edits you repeatedly restored are not NPOV. Maybe move them to Talk:Skerries, Dublin so they can be discussed or re-formatted. "The average life expectancy in Mourne View is 6 weeks" and so on. I mean, it's funny but has no place in the Skerries article. Please also see Scanger - Alison^✍ 18:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

• the point you have made is fair and i think i have removed all the not NPOV it is in the sandbox the bottom of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox - i spent time deleting the un reasable bits which wernt added by me in the first place i just re put them in—Preceding unsigned comment added by Schemed (talk • contribs)

I've been watching this rubbish too. It is just not encyclopaedic to include even if half true. ww2censor 21:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for your help on the Fulacht fiadh article! --Kathryn NicDhàna 03:06, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• Oh, you're welcome! :-) It's a fascinating topic - Alison^✍ 04:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

durrus and district history

hi, You might have a look at the article I did re marine, census etc. It is probably far too long and will be edited, but if you have ideas i would welcome sameDurrus 13:13, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Illustrating the Transsexuality Article

Hello Allison. I have proposed a solution for illustrating the transsexuality article. It is a "collage" of pictures of various transsexuals from all over the world mtf, ftm, old and young, from all six inhabited continents, all races, most major religions, and every imagineable occupation (a wide range thereof). Since I have seen you commnent there since I posted up the picture I am interested to know that you think.--Hfarmer 10:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thanks! I have to say that I'm a little disappointed when I look over my contributions for the last rather long while and see just how little real article writing I've been doing. Your nice award is a great reminder that I should make it a priority. Jkelly 20:39, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

More on the matter of the transsexualism picture

I have worked pretty hard for something that will not pay me to come up with a picture that will satisfy all reasonable requierments. I have listened to all reasonable sugestions and complaints. I have done all that anyone can reasonably be expected to do. I am not an unreasonable person. But Ms. Rebecca has finally reached the limit of my tolerance.

Andrea Parton who I beleve is a wikipedia admin of some type has looked over the last picture I rendered and added and all she did was clean up the caption. Rebecca has taken it upon herself to declare a revert war because she persoanlly finds the picture "tacy" and claims it violates copywright laws which it does not.

The bottom line is Rebecca is simply against illustrating that article in any form or fasion.

I need to know on which side of the line do you fall? Pro illustration (not necessarily this picture but some picture or pictures) or against? If you are in favor of illustrating this article in some form or fasion your input will be appreciated. Thankyou. --Hfarmer 02:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• You have worked hard on it and you have done your best to try to be accommodating. However, there are probably still copyright issues with the image (take my advice and cite your sources on the image talk page). Also, you've haven't really listened and included the non-passable, ergo it is not representative. You are still using it to make a political point, which is not the purpose of WP. Also, it's a prime target for image vandalism (re. the Ann Coulter page). I've backed away from the whole image controversy because 1) the day job is killing me right now, 2) I don't have the mental energy to devote to it and 3) it's a majorly divisive issue. I agree that your intent is good and I believe you've done your best to appease everyone. However, there'll always be those who disagree. My *personal* take on it is that the image has its problems - not insurmountable, mind - but I would not revert. It's okay-ish :-) I admire your tenacity, too - Alison^✍ 05:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

ga-0.3

So, partially as a joke, partially not, the reason I was asking on Gaeilge about "my Gaelic sucks" is I'm thinking of making a ga-0.5 babel box. Not necessarily an official one. Because I am one of those people who can figure out a bit of it, but wouldn't feel right saying I'm even at ga-1. So, fainic_thu_fein suggested "Tá mo chuid Gaeilge go hainnis" or "Tá mo chuid Gaeilge go huafásach", and you mentioned "Tá mo chuid Gaeilge sa leithreas". Preferences? Thoughts? --Kathryn NicDhàna 21:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

PS - I decided 0.3 was funnier. Template talk:User ga-0.3 ---Kathryn NicDhàna 22:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
