[edit] Message For You!

True to my word, I am leaving you a message! I hope we can talk again sometime. :-D Mike H 02:21, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

My, oh, my, you just have a penchant for discussion, don't you? Mike H 15:12, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] PaX on Debian

Zocky tells me you've got some question about $topic... mail me if you like. I know some people who know some people. :) --Shallot 06:48, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I don't think I got anything. My nickname on freenode is "Joy", you can try that too... --Shallot 14:12, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] A tip

Blue - FYI, you should sign all your comments on Wikipedia with ~~~~. On the featured article candidate nomination for PaX, there's a lot of unisigned comments which I assume are yours, but without going through the page history it's impossible to tell. It makes it a lot easier for the rest of us to know who's saying what. →Raul654 20:18, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)

I'll do so.  :) --Bluefox Phoenix Lucid 16:41, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] re comment on PAX nomination

Blue, I'll be glad to help with the article with a view toward improving it for featured status. Modulo time available, and with only a general knowledge of the project. I'm generally familiar with OS security dodges (or at least with quite a few) and may be able to provide some general perspective. I can certainly make suggestions as to article structure, narrative arc, and phrasing generally. If you're willing to put up w/ such limited help, let's have at it. ww 16:44, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Re your material on comparison of PaX with ES. The material is good. See my response in the featured article candidate page. Thanks for your work. - Taxman 22:33, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Template new spoilers

I have moved your "Template new spoilers" to User:Bluefoxicy/Template new spoilers, as you accidently created it in the main namespace, not the template namespace (you forgot the ":" in "Template new spoilers"). You can play around with it now already - just put {{User:Bluefoxicy/Template new spoilers}} on a page. However I'd suggest you discuss your proposal on Template talk:Spoiler before you actually use it in an article, or move it to the Template-namespace. andy 07:44, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

For the work you did bringing PaX to featured article status, I award you this barnstar. Thanks, and keep up the good work. →Raul654 06:37, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)

Hey hey, I had lotsa help, as noted on Talk:PaX, but thanks ^_^ --John Moser 22:45, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review?

Hi, do you still want PaX listed on peer review now that it is a Featured Article? Peer review needs some cleaning up to make way for comments for other articles. If you don't specifically want the listing to stay there, can you remove it please? Thanks, and good work on the article. - Taxman 21:56, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Edit attribution

Hi. Edits from 68.33.185.81 have now been reattributed to you. Regards — Kate Turner | Talk 07:56, 2004 Sep 4 (UTC)

[edit] Word of advice

Writing about someone with world-record long fingernails is fine. Making that article into a barb at other users isn't so hot. Might I ask you to please re-edit your contribution before it's removed again as nonsense? Thanks much.  :) - Lucky 6.9 08:24, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Stirling Engine Animation

Thanks for the help on how to get the animation smooth. Frames 1 and 3 turned out fuzzy, I assume because I had to scale them down. At least it doesn't jump around. I also slowed it down. You can find it here. --SuperCow 22:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Backtrack logo.png

A tag has been placed on Image:Backtrack logo.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 04:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
