What are you talking about (query)?

Much of the text in the 2001: A Space Odyssey plot synopsis appears to be perhaps excessively artistic rather than encyclopedic in nature. For example, in the 3rd paragraph from the bottom of the "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite" "This time, there is no sound as the ebon block appears; the process is swift and certain. If man could be made from the ape, what could be made from man?" If this is cited from a text somewhere, it was not in quotation marks. There are a number examples possible throughout the synopsis, with some of the most overt ones in this final section. It just seems rather more poetic and less objective and factual than one would expect from an encyclopedia entry. Lemonsawdust 06:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

You're brother doesn't wear tight pants....That's not right...--Mikepope 06:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

What? I don't get it. Lemonsawdust 06:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry. It's a Kevin Meaney joke.--Mikepope 14:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SCOTUS

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for doing a great job with Wisconsin v. Mitchell. Don't worry about not adding the SCOTUS infobox - it's much more difficult to write up a case than it is to insert a infobox, so you've already done all the heavy lifting. Hope to see you contributing more to SCOTUS cases in the future! If you have a chance, check out the Project Collaboration Article, which is a weekly drive to improve a specific Supreme Court case, and see if it's something that interests you - we'd love to have you onboard. Cheers, RidG Talk 22:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I was going to say the same thing RidG said. I've been behind in welcoming new people. In any case, I finally added the infobox, so that's done, and with the new template they are much easier. Hope you'll join us at the next PCA. Cheers and happy editing!--Kchase02 T 18:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Good tweaks on the Mitchell page; but isn't it still appropriate to say that "The Court" said something, especially if it's a unanimous decision? Just looking for your thoughts on this. Thanks! Lemonsawdust 05:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Good question. Gonzales v. UDV references the author, but then uses "the court", so I think you're correct. I'll change it back. Thanks for bringing it up.--Kchase02 T 05:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc.

Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the "hook" for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created on April 14 where you can improve it if you see fit. Regards, howcheng {chat} 00:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 18 April 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Re: Hay (I hate horses, they pee alot)

Message received. Will drink coffee, do mundane things, and respond in full after emulated thinking. I want my Constitution dead, dammit. - MSTCrow 18:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

If you grip a crystal hard enough, do you oscillate? [I'm bismuth, as it reminds me of the Tyrell Pyramid from "Blade Runner," a very large building] 1) I am everyone's favorite. Gay wikipedians list? Are you now, or have you ever been, a homosexual? 2) Those peacocks were screaming due to Mickey "abusing" them. Also, ref. Howard Dean. 3) I can supply oodles more pseudo-scientific tests for coincidental matching purposes. However, the fact that both our scores are not only identical, but appear to be irrational numbers, is exciting. - MSTCrow 22:54, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Per self-created etiquette (I'm an etiquette solipsist), I've responded to your reply in my talk page. - MSTCrow 22:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
So, um, if you have your AIM nick on your userpage, and I see you're online, should I say hello, or would that create a break in the Wikipedian wall of faux professionalism? - MSTCrow 18:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and brutalist architecture is doublebad. - MSTCrow 18:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Google and "Community Action Against Homophobia"

Just a note about Google, really, this search returns an apparent 1360 hits, but if you go through the pages it will really only be 121. Try this with "Community Action Against Homophobia" -wikipedia and it drops to 113 (of which at least 1 is still a WP mirror). "Community Action Against Homophobia" -wikipedia -encyclopedia -directory -blog gets it to 72, including more than one from several sites, and some are still lists of links. Clearly you can go on until "Community Action Against Homophobia" -wikipedia -encyclopedia -directory -blog -links -mountains -yahoo -google gives only 28... Just a bit of fun, but the point is there. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 10:40 28 April 2007 (GMT).
