[edit] Magic in Harry Potter: Discussion edit -> your recent revert

Really, this page is utterly out of date. You reverted a change that eliminated some of the chaff -- updates to the page announced over a YEAR ago that are no longer needed nor appropriate. It's stale, old news. At the bottom of the Magic page you can find links to the lists of spells and objects. If you're going to revert that discussion cleanup, you should at least do a little cleanup yourself.

Don't assume that because a person doesn't have a login name that they don't know what they are doing. How do you like to have the test-template popping up as a message? (Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been removed or reverted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.)

However, I do admit that a comment would have been appropriate... as would have been one on your little message to me.

64.218.107.133 19:20, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

You know what? You're right, and I'm sorry. I was out on vandalism patrol, saw an anon's first edit that was a deletion, and promptly jumped the gun. Such a message would definitelty not lift my spirits either and I apologize.
For future reference, I think (don't know) that it's policy to archive talk pages to clean them up - not delete material, at least not without leaving a link. --Kizor 21:19, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] X-COM Edit

Howdy Kizor! Thanks for your changes to the X-COM article. Thanks to your edit, it now reads much better. Hard to beleive you're only 13! I know I wasn't that eloquent at that age. Cheers! —Frecklefoot 14:21, May 5, 2004 (UTC)

Diplomatically omitting to mention that the amount of copyedits you had to do to said edit probably outnumbers the amount of words I changed. :-) Also, I still haven't managed to write comprehensibly to my user page? Damn. I was 13 when I came up with the last version of the nick (I think) - some six years ago. -- Kizor 21:54, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Looking at the diff between the two versions (your edit version and after my copyedit), it looks like I changed a lot, but actually my changes were fairly minor. If you looked at both versions side by side you'd see very few differences. The diff s/w just doesn't diff it correctly for your vs. my edit. Hmm. It's usually spot-on. Anyway, thanks again. Your changes made a big difference in the article. —Frecklefoot 13:47, May 6, 2004 (UTC)

Don't worry, I haven't been following you around :-). Recently, I've made lots of spelling corrections by searching with a list. Maximus Rex 22:42, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. Didn't think you'd have, what I did think is that you're going to give an answer that'll make me look like a n00b. Which was of course correct. -- Kizor 10:59, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)



Hi Kizor! Thank you for the message and tips, etc! Will follow as soon as I can. : )

[edit] Kid Radd

I was probably too hasty in adding that POV notice. When I edited, it struck me as being praise for the artist's style. In cold sober daylight, though, it doesn't seem that POv. It actually doesn't make much sense at all—what's a "srewth design"? — Gwalla | Talk 19:14, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

What it was intened to be is calling the design nifty, or clever, or well-done, or suchlike. In reality, it more than likely is the curse of ESL striking again. Feel free to modify. -- Kizor 01:03, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Hey, I noticed some of your edit summaries are nonsense phrases, displayed in all caps. Even if the edit you make is minor and doesn't really change the article, try to give some idea of what you did in the edit summary, rather than nonsense. It goes a long way towards helping other editors out. —siroχo 23:09, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

You make a good point, of course. In my defense, I've been using it only with minor, non-controversial changes that would be clearly visible in the edit history should anyone need to have that idea of what I've done. And it stops global warming and uses the world's nuclear arsenal to fuel Wiki servers. Since you're not encumbered with my sense of humour, thus making you a good test case, what would restricting its use to discussion sound like? The changes made to those tend to be rather obvious. -- Kizor 00:36, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
For the record, I've since decided on this policy as the optimium mix of unobtrusiveness and stupidity. -- Kizor 08:13, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Gmail

I still have some left. Email me with 'E-mail this user' and I'll send you one. —Morven 10:57, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Exploding whale renomination

Hi Kizor! After several more objections were resolved, I've renominated this article. Could you revote? Thanks mate. - Ta bu shi da yu 16:55, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • BOOM! -- Kizor 18:38, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Mother Brain

Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your current Mother Brain edit. Good work! :) –Andre (talk) 16:57, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Well then. I'm pleasantly shocked. -- Kizor 08:13, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] You found me

So you really ran into me at Wikipedia. I have been a Wikipedian for one year, since July 2003. Do you remember from some message board or a guest book? (Tedius Zanarukando, 24 Oct 2004).

FF:WA. Didn't have much contact, but then I'm a bit of a recluse even there.-- Kizor 22:46, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks for fixing those brackets

Thank you for fixing those brackets - with the other three, one of them had already been fixed, and for the two linguistic ones I added <nowiki> tags as they had a deliberate [ in them to indicate how those sounds were pronounced. All the best, Nickj 00:57, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Typo fairies

Thanks for the explanation of Finnish typo faries in the typo fairy article. I didn't know that, and it's always cool to have cross-cultural info in the Wikipedia. Thanks! JesseW 19:54, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for sorting out userpage vandalism

Lol I only left the page for a day and it gets defaced. Ah well at least it was an IP-number coward rather than an actual wikipedian. Cheers for reverting it anyway :P --Cynical 19:35, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Urgent: Vote re Ciz

The arbcom post over Ciz, the guy who vandalised FinalGamers page, is being processed shortly. See User:FT2/Arbitration re Ciz. Can you indicate on my talk page User:FT2 whether you would support a full wikipedia ban for Ciz? Thanks FT2 21:10, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)


To clarify, no, I'm not interested in forced votes. I asked whether you were interested or not since at the time, there were 8 "yes" and 2 who hadnt said, and I needed urgently to know if the correct term was going to be "unanimous" or "majority" who asked for a ban. In the end it was already "majority". That's all - hope it reassures. I have no interest in forcing any vote into any category, just wanted to be sure what the sentiment was so that I represented it accurately on others behalf in the matter. FT2 09:50, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)

FinalGamer here - thanks for letting me know I'm a full Wikipedian. Love your user Page layout by the way! Question, am I the only guy to have his user page vandalized by Ciz? FinalGamer 13:56 GMT, 20 May, 2005

[edit] sandbox

thank you for preserving the sandbox. I've been working trying to put order to the sandbox! Let's make the sandbox wackier! __earth 07:31, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)

You're welcome. It is always a pleasure to further the cause of insanity. However, I disagree with you about your other points. The sandbox is a nexus of disorder on the Wikipedia that draws much of the chaos inherent in Wiki sites to it. Attempting to create lasting order in it would be like building a sand castle under an open faucet. Furthermore, think of the consequences if you should succeed in making permanent changes to what is innately ever-shifting. You would most likely break its function as an attractor of weirdness, leaving all the disorder and the newbies and the strangeness flow upon the unsuspecting masses! Think of the horror! -- Kizor 07:46, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thestral image

That picture was drawn by my daughter. She's quite gratified by your reaction. In my humble opinion, its far from her best work. -- Kbh3rd 00:44, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] escrew

Ooh, pretty WikiFlower. Thanks, I hadn't gotten one of those yet. And good work on your part too. (and while I'm here, have a wonderful christmas!) --fvw* 12:44, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC)

[edit] Potter Project

Nice job on Azkaban. FYI: I checked the novels and dementor is not capitalized, whereas Muggle and Squib are. I realize that the many of the articles don't reflect that (yet!) ;). neatnate 05:29, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for that - I was a bit worried that I was going around fixing things that didn't need to be fixed. And I'll take note of the capitalization. -- Kizor 18:40, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

You're not alone in wanting to work on the Potter coverage, I'm currently making the HP areas of wiki one of my areas to focus in. So cheers for that. I was also hoping you might could see if there's some references available for the Hogwarts headache article. Cheers :-) EvilPhoenix

[edit] Schlockitude

Your contributions show that you haven't been around here much lately, so you may have missed my annoyed comment on Talk:Schlock Mercenary.

I suggested that fans start their own wiki for it. I'd just like you to know that I wasn't kidding and wasn't just trying to get rid of the material. The level of detail needed to cover Schlock Mercenary for fans is inappropriate for Wikipedia. By having information for the general reader here, and a detailed fan guide elsewhere, all interested parties can be satisfied.

I'm thinking of something along the lines of the Homestar Runner Wiki. They've got nine hundred articles about various bits of trivia about Homestar Runner there. There's also about a dozen articles here on Wikipedia covering major aspects of the cartoons for the ordinary non-fan reader. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:24, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

You probably didn't glean it from my other comments, but I am a fan of the comic, and have been reading it since almost the beginning. While I agree that Homestar Runner has a much larger fanbase than Schlock Mercenary, I have to disagree on the amount of content. Detailed Schlock info could easily spread across a thousand separate articles.
My goal here is to balance the needs of two different groups: the fans, who need a specialist work; and the normal Wikipedia readers, who need a more bird's eye view. An article about the Princess Tyola would be welcomed in a dedicated SM Wiki, but on Wikipedia even mentioning it would be overly specific. One man wiki cannot serve two masters audiences, or something like that. -- Cyrius|✎ 18:52, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Life of Riley

They'll probably be especially annoyed that the band vanity article made it in before the TV and radio shows of the same name. ☺ If you want to warn people that vanity articles may well receive short shrift, just stick a {{music-importance}} on the article and a {{subst:vanity|Life of Riley}} on the author's talk page. However, if you look at the text that is displayed above the edit box when starting a new article, you'll find that there already is a prominent warning about this sort of thing. Uncle G 18:27, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves

I'm not sure how to find out who did some page moves. Try asking at WP:AN/I under the header of this latest case. I do think it's likely someone noticed it on recent changes, so checking the admin noticeboard (WP:AN and WP:VIP are your best bet at tracking the perp. Mgm|(talk) 15:12, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware of the AN. -- Kizor 15:25, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Please have a look at the proposal at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Min edit count, and the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves/Min edit count for the min edit count -- Chris 73 Talk 15:40, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mouse Pad

Caught your proposal on Eloquence's Talk page. Where did you go with it? I have some applicable skill and the idea amuses me. — Xiong (talk) 23:15, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

Squirt me a text listing of the things you thought should go there; don't worry if it's incomplete, I just want an idea of what you thought. I'll see where I can take it. If I understand you correctly, the purpose of the pad is just to provide a ready printed reference; the actual location on the pad of each item is unimportant. Correct? — Xiong (talk) 00:43, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)

Correct. I'll get on it once I finish this essay and the next. -- Kizor 07:35, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Still waiting text to spruce up -- ? — Xiong熊talk 06:11, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)

I'm aware. There's just a hell of those essays. I'll have to get back to you once I stop drowning in academics.. -- Kizor 08:56, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thank you for the welcome and thanks for the tip as well. Dblevins2 04:29, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What Wikipedia is not

Greetings. You nuked my note at What Wikipedia is not a bit back, the one saying that Wikipedia has a lot of subjects ordinary encyclopedias wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. Perhaps it was badly phrased, but I maintain that the point is valid - not a lot of traditional 'pedias feature extensive coverage on different aspects of sado-masochism, for instance, and quite a few people wouldn't expect this one to. What's your opinion on how it should be worded, or should we just chuck the subject out altogether? -- Kizor 17:48, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

I think the wording could have been better but I do agree with the sentiment. The use of terms like "wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole" seems to impute an opinion to Encarta's editors and Britannica's that I don't think can be justified by their statements. What I would favor is something like "The range of subjects covered by Wikipedia is dictated by its editors, some of whom have interests not normally covered in other encyclopedias; if people do something, and others write about it, you should probably not be surprised to find a Wikipedia article about it." I think that's far too wordy and needs to be trimmed severely, but it's a first cut of how I think the piece should go. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:04, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Harlequin fetus

In one of you talk entries, you state that you have seen an article about an 18 year old harlequin. Could you post that link?

Yes. Yes, I could. http://www.10news.com/health/3919722/detail.html -- Kizor 17:26, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 172.146.248.166

You crack me up, man. That message on his talk page was hilarious.—chris.lawson (talk) 05:54, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Quite so, I thank you. That said, he's ba- ah. Quick action on your part. -- Kizor 06:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the compliment on my username.  :D The reason for it is on my profile, if you're interested...  :D Happy wiki-ing, and see you around! --Thorns Among Our Leaves 18:41, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] It's cool

So long as they get removed once the article stabilises, that is my concern. Also concerned what the purge server cache link will do to our performance... Check the history, incidently. More than one edit a second! - Ta bu shi da yu 7 July 2005 15:10 (UTC)

I'll see to it myself should I need to, but for the moment they're needed. I can't comment about the performance hit, though, but if your call says OK then OK it is. And yes, I checked. We're ace, insane, or likely both. -- Kizor 7 July 2005 15:16 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure I do barnstars, but thanks. :-) Evercat 7 July 2005 16:32 (UTC)

You've went and earned it. -- Kizor 7 July 2005 16:54 (UTC)

Thank you very much! --Merovingian (t) (c) July 8, 2005 00:32 (UTC)

Hey Kizor, thanks for the barnstar! Raemie 20:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Double spoiler

The nature of a spoiler is that it reveals plot or ending details that would be unknown to people who haven't finished consuming some form of media. If you've finished playing Star Control II, you're finished with the plot exposition. There's no intended avenue for the Mael-Num/Melnorme link to be revealed to you: it was revealed in a chat interview with the game designers, not in the actual game. So the link may be unknown to a lot of people, but it's not spoiling a plot or ending because it's not revealing any details that were supposed to be found out another way. It's a spoiler to the uninitiated, but it's not to players who have finished the game.

And, aside from that, it just doesn't make sense to have two spoiler tags so close together on the page. The first tag clearly still applies: anything beyond it is potentially a spoiler. Andre (talk) July 9, 2005 18:47 (UTC)

Thanks - yeah, I am a fan. Though I understand where you're coming from, I'm not really sure if it applies here. Unlike Blade Runner, the link between the Mael-Num and the Melnorme is strongly implied already from the game; it's not a question that could go either way, as in Blade Runner. (Incidentally, I didn't realize that the director ever revealed whether Harrison Ford's character was a Replicant or not, interesting.) However, I'm now thinking perhaps we should create a new template, a meta-spoiler of sorts: "Meta-spoiler warning: Answers to ambiguities in the work that have been revealed, external to it, follow." Something a bit less wordy, of course. Andre (talk) 22:15, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikinews barnstar

Hi,

I can't grant you permission since I'm not the copyright holder. If you want to be on the safe side, e-mail board AT wikimedia DOT org. But I think it should be fine as long as you use commons:Template:Copyright by Wikimedia on the image description page, and use it only within Wikimedia projects.--Eloquence* 03:12, July 12, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Pic of the Day

Hi Kizor,

The Alfons Mucha illustration that you recommended as a Featured Picture, is coming up for Pic of the Day on the 24th July. Can you take a look at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/July 24, 2005 to check over the caption. Since this will be up at the weekend, there is a good chance that will be featured on the Main Page. -- Solipsist 18:45, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dinks

I appreciate your assistance in reverting the nonsense these people generate, but please refrain from using inflammatory edit summaries when you revert them; it just eggs them on. Also, whenever you run across their nonsense, drop either me or Mel Etitis a note, so we can block them. Or just post on WP:AN/I or WP:VIP. Kelly Martin 16:42, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

I hear and obey. (Inflammatory?) --Kizor 16:54, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Important VFD

Please see the VFD for commons:List of victims of the 1913 Great Lakes storm. This is of vital importance. This list and others like it are being pushed off of the entire Wikimedia project. It started at Wikipedia, where they were VFDd in favor of moving to Wikisource/Commons. Now they are being VFDd off Wikisource (they don't really belong there, since they are not original source texts), with people there saying they should be on WP/Commons, and it is also being VFDd on Commons, where people don't realize that Commons accepts texts (says so right on the Main Page). This will set a precedent for any user-created lists. -- BRIAN0918  22:26, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thanks

No problem. I mean, who would dare not help to keep perhaps the most major event in the entire series? I laughed when someone said that the event was fanfiction. Anyways, you're welcome for the barnstar - you did a lot. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 23:24, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

I protected it. Probably a good idea. :) Thunderbrand 21:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Torment

Hello, Kizor. The problem is that whenever an opinion is expressed on the Wikipedia, it is generally need to either back-up the claim (with, for example, a website with an article containing the opinion) or present both sides of the story (such as in "the book was considered bad by most because of this and that, but some less hardcore fans found it entertaining"). For the record, I am a player of P:T. I will not revert you again if you apply the edit once more, but try to phrase it better, maybe? Cheers, --Sn0wflake 18:52, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

well, if you had given me two minutes I would have re-inserted the material I had reverted. As it is, I trust you will take care to remove the edits by User:Swollib.

this is very kind of you, Kizor! If tit-for-tat wasn't rather cheap, I'd award you "the burning vehicules barnstar" (and I may yet) :o) I do think the article is in comparatively good shape, but it will need constant attention over the next few days, so, I hope you have no life some spare time right now. dab (ᛏ) 18:29, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I was searching for the author of the maps, thinking that I might have to consider him for an award, but when I found out it was you there was no doubt remaining.

There was no mention of Toulouse in the link of the 13th night - which doesn't mean very much as I don't speak French - and no link next to the total amount of torched vehicles. Still, I apologize if I've wronged you. I'm a bit distrustful of you what with the notorious vandalism on your alleged account. The claim that it was someone else may or may not be true, but the IP address you're coming from also changed the amount of cars torched in Germany from 6 to 19000 immediately before your other edits. --Kizor 09:28, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

trying to politicians "context" is just plain wrong, i keep moving it to the political section but people keep moving it and i am sick of moving back up 2 and people keep leaving it in that section 2 so ima deleting it and it can go in the article.

[edit] Count Your Sheep

I've been going through the archive of CYS and visited the wikipedia article. I noticed you added Lauries age (27). Did you base that on this[1] strip? That wasn't Lauries birthday, that was Adis'. 131.155.229.224 15:34, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for asking. I based it on that, but indirectly: Adis commented a short while later that he's now Laurie's age. It was an important factor in extrapolating Katie's age with almost completely total certainty, and I just had to use that "N/A" for Ship. --Kizor 16:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for answering. I guess I missed that comment. I'm pretty sure Katie's age is mentioned, but perhaps it was correctly extrapolated before it appeared in the strip. Multigenerational, shared, woolly, imaginary friends are notoriously difficult to put an age to, so you should feel entirely justified in that "N/A". 131.155.229.224 02:09, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi,

I see that you are watching one of the pages that IP= 203.109.157.88 keeps vandalizing. I have been watching the article on Albert Schweitzer, which this problem guy keeps loading a diatribe into. Any insight into what this user is up to? P0M 04:28, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Merging into Harry Potter Magic

The page you want to eliminate has been around for short enough a period of time, and few enough pages link to it, that I would guess that you could probably roll it into the Harry Potter Magic with out much problem - as long as you update the linking pages.

It's an extremely logical move - I'm kicking myself for not doing it that way to begin with...

Welcome!!

You might enjoy Wikipedia:Don't be a fanatic that I wrote following it.

Seemed a useful communal guideline to set out.

[edit] E.J. Montini

Dear Kizor: Hi, how are you? I want to thank you for your input about the article I created about E.J. Montini.

This article was done a long time ago, almost two years to today. So I cannot remember why I put that he had been to Iraq as a "fact". But Mr. Montini has been known around here to say things that are sometimes viewed as outrageous. While I doubt he did, maybe he did write an article as if he was there, leading me to believe this. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

I am a very serious writer, and I do not write things that do not connect with reality, at least, not as far as I know it. You can check all my articles, I only write based on what I read and/or has been published, or I've seen (on television, in person) about the subject.

Well, with that said, I still look back and cannot remember why the piece about him in Iraq was put there but I obviously did not do it to misinform. I was obviously misinformed myself, by the media most likely. Jose Cruz, the great baseball player, once told me not to believe half of what newspapers say.

On the other hand, I was utterly flattered by the fact that, at least, one of the articles I have written was noticed and written about by a newspaper man. This goes to show that our efforts at Wikipedia to highlight people and events is a worthy cause. I think we will be very big by the end of this decade.

I want to wish you a happy new year. God bless you!

Sincerely yours, User:AntonioMartin

[edit] Spells and the Potter watchlist

Hi Kizor, thanks for the heads up, but it's really up to you. The watchlist may be in my namespace, but it's open to all for editing. :-) As for the talk pages, it looks fairly inactive now, so I suggest moving it to an archive page in Talk:Magic (Harry Potter). --Deathphoenix 04:09, 2 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Not vandalism

My edit on The Spill Canvas was not vandalism. Try reading closer next time. EarlCampbell20 04:45, 3 January 2006 (UTC)EarlCampbell20

Errr.... I've never edited The Spill Canvas, nor its talk page. --Kizor 12:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thanks for your comments

I appeciate the comments you made on my talk page. I've found that I tend to learn from people with strong ideas about editing and organizing, myself — their views may be things you never thought of before, and I hope that I learn from them as well, yours included :) Beowulf314159 21:38, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
