I do not check this page very often, so do not expect a quick response to any comment you may leave (not that I've been put under a lot of pressure to respond quickly). This should explain why my responses are usually 2 or 3 days late. You've been warned! BeefJeaunt

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay.

You may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset.

If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions.

For help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style.

If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ.

If you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)!

There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library.

Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal.

Feel free to post questions on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.

You may want to add yourself to the new user log.

If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

On IRC, check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. Kf4bdy

[edit] Userbox template format

I noticed you've made some userboxes. However, the format is somewhat wrong. You've been doing Template:User BeefJeaunt/Ninty WiFi, when really you should keep these in your user space, in the form User:BeefJeaunt/Ninty WiFi. I moved a few to show you, but please move the rest and change the links. Thanks! Andre (talk) 01:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Congrats!

You have been named one of User:Editor37's favourite users! You rock!

[edit] Re: Your userbox

I like it! The only improvement I can think of would be to say "This user tends to write or speak in long spiels" instead. I think it's good. --Editor37 23:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Misunderstanding

I'm not offended by your response but replying to it. You said you found it bizarre how Americans have no problems with violence in their entertainment but sex or nudity was taboo. My response is that if you look at the way most Americans are (especially the conservatives/republicans) including their president, you'd see that this is the way they are in real life. They appear to almost celebrate killing & blowing other people up for whatever reason. But sex on the otherhand is taboo, evil etc. Nil Einne 13:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I took a closer look at the thread. You appear to have misunderstood my response. I was replying to 惑乱 分からん. It is normal practice that when you are replying to someone's post you do it the way I did it. If you read what 惑乱 分からん and then what I said, you may understand what I was trying to say. If not, try reading what I striked out above. I apologise if you were offended by me response or thought it OT Nil Einne 13:28, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. As I noted elsewhere, although I felt my comment was a bit appropriate and obviously unrelated to your question, I didn't mean to single anyone out or offend anyone personally and it's disconcerting that people think I did. I just wanted to express a view on an issue which someone else raised. It appears you weren't the only one who misunderstood how my comment was directed so I've struck out my comment. I'm still a bit surprised but it's not the first time I've had problems at the reference desk (albeit of a different nature). Perhaps I'm too used to forums. The science reference desk seems to be the safest for me, I'll probably stay there...
Anyway just wanted to let you know you've been pleasent to deal with, especially considering some of the dealings I've had recently with other matters. So don't worry about the odd mistake you make, I obviously made one as well in this (and other instances).

So where did you get the idea to put all the userboxes you like in subpages? -PatPeter 19:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanx

Great userboxes, by the way, wanted to inform you that you spelled "view" wrong on your user page. NovaVeritas 23:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Science Desk

Interesting. I was just playing devil's advocate...the more info you provide the more intriguing it sounds.

To be realistic though, they're unlikely to get very far without opening it up to professional scrutiny. And if it is really a new species or whatever and it's clearly them that have found it, you'd have to assume good faith in the professionals that they will be given credit for it (it's not as though they're likely make much financial gain from it say, regardless of how novel a fish it is). Just sitting around showing it nobody will get them nowhere and just increase the chances of someone else finding one 'first'. Cheers, --jjron 08:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lactose/lactate

You're right; I meant lactate (a.k.a. lactic acid) and not lactose. I try to live by Wikipedia's policy of "Assume good faith". (EhJJ) 03:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Agreed BeefJaunt. You never know your luck with the refdesk so I'm glad it helped you. PS, your un-lazy nice thanks put this on my face : ) Julia Rossi (talk) 05:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
