Recover
My brother had a bike accident too but he was lucky. I hope you recover soon. :) --ExterayT.C 03:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- He didn't suffer any injury but the bike was destroyed. Pedro I can understand your transformation. You probably come to realize how priceless life really is and how we should not waste it at every single opportunity. I'm sure that was a life changing experience for you. Good luck. :)--ExterayT.C 23:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Take Up Rugby! :P--HamedogTalk|@ 15:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
ROFLCOPTER!
It was in reference to your injury - you should start playing rugby. A joke--HamedogTalk|@ 03:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
BTW, which Image do you think should go on the main page for Rugby World Cup? Image:Free RWC William Webb Ellis.PNG or Image:England_world_cup_winners.jpg (currently going up)--HamedogTalk|@ 04:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Have a speedy recovery, Pedro/SmthManly.
Sorry to hear that you had a serious bike accident, Pedro. Unconscious for 14 hours ? Sounds scary. How are you doing now ? I hope you are doing better.
I'm glad that you find that 'joke userbox' of mine amusing. I've had my share of close calls. I take the subway every day now.
Have a speedy recovery, i.e. Let's put your concussion on WP:SPEEDY. {{subst:Smiley}} Take care. -- PFHLai 17:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- You are welcome, Pedro. Good to know that you are indeed getting better. Here's a new userbox for you:

This user will wear a bicycle helmet (pictured left) from now on. |
- Cheers. -- PFHLai 18:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. I didn't know your real name till today ! :-)
Image:CoralReefHighSchoolMiami.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CoralReefHighSchoolMiami.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 16:48, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll take a look at those school articles and see if there are still any replacable fair use images around. Don't worry I won't delete any free licensed stuff, user created or otherwise. --Sherool (talk) 23:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Columbine High School massacre
It just occurred to me that this change might not have been vandalism. CNN reports that the total number of people in the library was 56 (52 students, four staff); that might be what the person who just changed it had in mind. But I just did a quick check of the article history; it looks like we've said "55 students" for several months. Which probably means that the Columbine High School massacre article was vandalized a long time ago, and nobody noticed. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 23:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- I already changed it. When the original change came up on my watch list, I decided to try to find a reliable source for the correct number before I reverted it. I have to assume CNN is reliable. But can you check me on that change? The CNN article seems pretty clear about the number being 52 students plus 4 staff, but I haven't read our complete article or the complete CNN article, so I might be missing something. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 23:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
BTW, this is the kind of edit that makes me crazy -- random changes of numbers or hard-to-verify facts by an anon user, with no edit summary. If I can confirm that the edit was malicious vandalism, I usually send a serious vandal warning. If I can't confirm whether the change was legitimate, I usually revert it and send the editor a {{needsource}} message. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 23:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
MBTI
Hey, just noticed your MBTI type on your user page...INTJ is my type too. The company I work for had a consultant come in several years ago and test everyone; they found that almost all of the programmers were either INTJ or INTP; most of the non-programmers were ESFJ or ESFP. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 23:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- They told us that the test results explained why the programmers couldn't talk to the sales department -- we literally didn't think the same way. I'm not sure exactly how seriously I take it, but the MBTI is based on Carl Jung's personality types, and it seems to make sense.
So I gather from the discussion on your talk page that your bicycle recently tried to assassinate you? -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 00:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, good to know you're ok. I never wear a helmet myself, and it's mandatory here (Vancouver) for everyone. I might want to reconsider wearing it. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 00:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Template:Jan----Calendar2007Source: oops, my bad
Oops, that was my oversight. When I elected to do the reformatting of next year's templates to match those of 2006, I copied all the code from {{MayCalendar2006Source}}, and replaced each occurrence of "May" with "Jan". The rest of 2007's "Source" templates use full month names so they're no trouble, I see. Thanx for the necessary fix.

Dalbury's RfA
My RfA passed with a tally of 71/1/0. Thank you very much for your support. I hope that my performance as an admin will not disappoint you. Please let me know if you see me doing anything inappropriate. -- Donald Albury 10:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
RfA Thanks
 |
I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, SmthManly, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, Martinp23 14:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC) |
Columbine
Whoops, good catch! The only bomb time I saw in the CNN article was 11:17. Hmm..I still don't see an 11:14 time here, just the first 911 call at 11:19. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 00:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Mainpage date template
It is exactly the same size the previous image was forced to. I have no idea as to what could be used to replace it though.Geni 22:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hi - I noticed an edit from you on a recent mainpage article. Per this discussion and this one, we're trying to track down who handles the main page date - article talk page tagging, and how it's done (is there any bot involvement)? Yomangani is working on a new, combined FAC/FAR/main page date template, and we need to make sure we handle all the pieces correctly. Any info you can give us would help - pls respond on Yomangani (talk · contribs) to keep it all in one place, since he's doing the work. Thanks ! Sandy (Talk) 18:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can
 |
The article Basque Country (historical territory), to which you have helped contribute, has been flagged as requiring cleanup. If possible, we would appreciate your assistance in cleaning up this article to bring it up to Wikipedia's quality standards. If you are unsure what the nature of the problem is, please discuss this on the article's talk page. |
Mainpage
Don't want to push you out of a job if you enjoy doing it. The bot suggestion was more to handle the promotions and demotions which are a bit of a pain for the people handling them. I wasn't suggesting the date format was silly per se, it was just that if we have dates for multiple FARs, FACs, and main page appearances in the new template they need to be tagged as maindate=, fardate= etc, so we know what they belong to. How do you feel about the main page tag switching from "will be appearing" to "appeared" automatically? I don't have to build that in if you still want to do that too. Cheers, Yomanganitalk 23:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Just catching up on the discusion: hope you understand we didn't set out to eliminate your "job", nor was there anything at all wrong with what you were doing. We set out to generate a combined template about all FA information, to make it easier on all of us who keep track of all the different pieces of FAC and FAR, and the mainpage date was just one of the pieces - we had no idea who did it, how it was done, and whether a bot was involved. If you're looking for more pieces of the FA puzzle to do, I can offer you some :-) I noticed recently that Raul hasn't got time to tag the article talk pages on the failed facs, so I've been switching the templates to facfailed after he does a promotion, based on his archive file. I'd love help on that, since I'm already busy tracking things at FAR. Anyway, if you look at the talk page on WP:FAC, you'll see the status of the project - there are just so many pieces to FAC and FAR, that updating the talk pages has become a chore that we're trying to combine. Regards, Sandy (Talk) 00:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
"I'm 100% sure that after I add the "to come" template, the "to come" part is removed by a bot operated by User:Schutz, the bot doesn't have a specific name and just uses his screename, but it's this bot that changes the templates over every day at 00:01 UTC, unless someone beats him to it, you can also try contacting him about that part, but for the last 15 months or so it's been me adding the "to come" and his bot removing it, with a few exceptions here or there ..." Thanks, this is what we needed to know. I'll wait until Yomangani is closer to done before contacting Schutz. More later, Sandy (Talk) 00:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I forgot, I was just previewing the changes in the sand box - there's a saved version there now (bit better). Yomanganitalk 01:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've pulled the other images, but I'll let some designer type pretty it up when it is all working. If it gets taken up it will basically just change the syntax of what you do, not push you out of a job, since the bot won't be poking around in the main page scheduling (or at least I won't be suggesting that it does). Yomanganitalk 02:17, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Meetup
Right. Just me and my partner with Dalbury. A small group indeed. I'm gonna try to get something organized for March next year. Maybe close to Spring Break, so people in other parts of the state can get away. And probably in Fort Lauderdale, or some other place where people can park.

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold Split - Anonymous User who has probably come here to yell at me, please read this before you do so, thanks.
Before the anonymous user who split the article in two comes to me sending me to hell and calling me an idiot for reverting what he or she did, I'd like to advise him or her to please discuss things like splitting or merging articles in article talkpages before doing so. The splitting of this article has been discussed before and it was decided then to keep it merged. If you want to split the article then you can open up the discussion once again right on the article's talkpage. Please take this into consideration before and if you decide to come at me for reverting you, as many anons tend to do. If it is decided that it shall be split then I will revert myself and your work will not be lost, however we do like to first discuss large changes such as splits prior to taking any action towards them. Thank You. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 03:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
H7 FLL
I'm not looking for an edit war; I just put down what I read on Spirit's site. I didn't realize you worked for NKS and I fixed the edit back to your version. It's no problem- feel free to tell me what I did wrong but give me a chance to explain myself first. Sox23 03:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem at all- I never see Spirit at H7 on FLL's departures screen anyway; I don't know if SkyValue cancelled flights- another editor deleted from the page but on SkyValue's site, they have taken off Fort Lauderdale from the main page so I gueess we'll have to wait and see. Sox23 03:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- In fact, FLL has been taken off the destination page of Gary/Chicago airport's site so I'm almost positive that SkyValue has cancelled flights to Fort Lauderdale. Sox23 04:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Many thanks
I would just like to thank you very much for your contributions to the Columbine High School Massacre page, I'm personally a fan of the incident and greatly appreciate your efforts. Again, thank you very much.

REB and VoDkA Grave sites
Hey there again. Aye, I can imagine seperating the truth from false rumors can be a rough task. But, speaking of false rumors - there's no hold to this one but I saw it on a site dedicated to Dylen Klebold (perhaps you've seen it?). According to the site, VoDkA's grave site remains a mystery. There was even the possibility that he was cremated or he was buried in an unmarked grave. I haven't read a word about REB's grave site. Pardon if the answer is under my nose and I fail to see it. I plan on continuing to look for the answer behind this little "Grave Site Mystery". Columbine business aside - I hope this message finds you well.
