[edit] I figured out how to post a comment

Thanks.

Never saw anything about canadian wikipedians.

I've also got the page about the 407 and Coboconk to myself :(

Heh, I've started a Talk:Highway 407 page where we can discuss updates. Take care! Snickerdo

[edit] test

testing for dynamic TOC

[edit] test again

I'm sorry to read about your dog. I thought I was going to have to put my cat down two weeks ago. It was very traumatic. RickK 03:34, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] another test

even more testing

[edit] more test

It either needs more than three, or you can't have the line across the page, I'm not sure which, but now you can see it. RickK 03:34, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks, about the dog and getting that thing to go.

The downfall to pets, you love them, then they die 50 years before you and it destroys you

[edit] On the Subject of Dumbasses (re:Blackout)

As it is a title, it should be capitalized, and the other redirect to it. However, due to the fact that it really doesn't make a fucking difference, they should both be blocked from editting it if possible.

Dumbass can have a limit, and that would be approaching it

Thanks for that. It needed to be said. Though truth be told, dumbasses have no limit. -- Tlotoxl 19:42, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Once they get dumb enough, then you can consider them developmentally handicapped

[edit] No personal attacks

I'm sorry your dog died, but please don't take it out on others. Not here, anyway.

Calling people dumbass or turd is not allowed here. --Uncle Ed 15:11, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I'm not. My dog died a month ago. This is over the huge edit war on the blackout. They are creating tonnes of redirecting pages over whether or not a 'b' is capitalized or not. They truely are dumbasses -Fizscy46 15:12, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Maybe so, but I want you to avoid saying so out loud - at least on talk pages other than this. Please say you'll oblige me. --Uncle Ed 15:57, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Once I look up oblige, I will see. Of course, with the number of redirects, going through the maze to it will leave few people that actually find it.

OK, I will edit it to remove the insults, but the general gist of the post is staying, because its getting annoying with them moving it daily. -Fizscy46

[edit] Pink Floyd

read any good books on Pink Floyd? ;-) Andy Mabbett 15:24, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Not unless you count the album sleeves as books. Haven't even seen a Pink Floyd book around. How did you edit my user page but not make it show in my watchlist? -Fizscy46 03:16, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Have you just not seen any, or do you know that the ones out there aren't good? I haven't read any myself, but I'd like to. I'd imagine Nick Mason's book must be pretty damned good. -Theaterfreak64 04:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

The Roger Waters image looks fine. Try refreshing your cache. RickK 00:19, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I did, deleted the file from my temp. Int. Files, its still big. Usually refreshing would fix it. The image itself is fine... Just huge - Fizscy46 00:25, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

But it isn't. It looks fine. It just seems to be something in your memory that's causing it. RickK 00:39, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

There it goes... Computer's a shitbox when it comes to memory - Fizscy46 00:44, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] CN vs. Ostankino

I have searched the Internet and have found no evidence that an extra forty meters was added to the Ostankino Tower in 2003. The site you pointed me to, the World Federation of Great Towers, still states the CN Tower is the world's tallest free standing structure. Every other site still list the tower as the world's second tallest (e.g. [1]), even Pravda and the tower's own site still have it at 540 meters. - SimonP 03:49, Mar 8, 2004 (UTC)

Huh... Then why is the stuff about a fire on the towers page?.. Doesn't seem like any normal vandalism effort.

It being russia, they could have disavowed any info on a fire to keep the government image perfect...

Lets use a meter stick.

From what I can see the fire did occur, but the 40 meter extension did not. - SimonP 00:58, Mar 9, 2004 (UTC)

I agree with SimonP. I've checked three relevant websites and none states that the Ostankino Tower is taller than the CN Tower by 40 meters. The closest I came to something like that was that there was a fire and repairs have been made in 2004. The World Federation of Great Towers states here that it is still 540 meters, as does the tower's own page here as well as what used to be called Skyscrapers.com here. Due to the lack of evidence for the 40 meter extension, the affected Wikipages should be reverted back to their previous status. TimothyPilgrim 20:16, Mar 9, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen Hawking and Dilbert

As far as I know, you're right - it was a poor impersonation of SH in Dilbert. I'll reword my contribution to make that clearer. -- Kwekubo 19:56, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Unverified images of Roger Waters

Hi. You uploaded three images of Roger Waters but have not provided any source information. These images could be deleted in the future unless this information is provided on the description pages for these images:

Image:Waters1.jpg
Image:Waters2.jpg
Image:Youngwaters.jpg

See Image copyright tags for more info. If the image was uploaded in error or cannot be licensed for use on Wikipedia, please add it to images for deletion. Thanks. RedWolf 17:14, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Weight

I strongly disagree. It's a teenth, not an eighth. Why do you think otherwise? --SqueakBox 15:13, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC) BTW my own 9 year old dog died on November 13th 2003, and broke my heart. See here.--SqueakBox 15:24, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

A second opinion agrees with me. --SqueakBox 17:46, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

I took a second look and it seems I was mistaken. Its more zoomed in than I'd thought. Yes, thats definately a gram.

[edit] Undelete

Your opinion is desired good sir: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_undeletion#Universist_Movement Universist 03:59, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Classic Rock

Hello. I was wondering if you would like to participate in my classic rock survey. I'm trying to find the most liked classic rock song. There is more information on my user page. Hope you participate! RENTASTRAWBERRY ^{FOR LET?} röck 02:59, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] b:Drugs:Fact and Fiction

Thank you for your comments regarding this Wikibook. Still, there is much that needs to be done to have this book treated seriously, and turning it into a drug experimentation guide is not something that is going to be acceptable.

You claim that national governments are deliberately publishing patently false information about some drug use. Fine, point out contrary studies if you can find them and point out factual information about drug usage. This is indeed information that needs to be legitimately offered to medical personnel and pre-med students as they study up on this very important aspect of modern society, even if these are sometimes illegal substances. --Robert Horning 07:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal on Notability

Because you're a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, I'm notifying you that the inclusionist proposa Wikipedia:Non-notabilityl is in progress to define the role of notability in articles. Please help us make this successful! Also note the proposal Wikipedia:Importance is a deletionist proposla that seeks to officially introduce notabiltiy for the first time. Make sure this is defeated! --Ephilei 22:37, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pink Floyd Relics 1996.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pink Floyd Relics 1996.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
