Thanks for the smile!!! Unexpected events going on in my real life hinder me from operating on Wikipedia to my full extent.--Ed^{I'm lonely, talk to me} _contribs 18:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the smile award (or was it smiley...) Well I appreciated it :) Momoroxmysoxoff

[edit] Title Thingy

Don't worry, it wasn't my template. It was developed by User:1ne--Ed^{I'm lonely, talk to me} _contribs 03:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Europe

I see from your user page that you have visited Europe!!! I did, too, but I just went to Rome, Italy. In fact, I actually visited 2 countries that time: Italy and Vatican City. --Ed^{I'm lonely, talk to me} _contribs 01:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images

I apologize. But I see three fair use images on your page. If you could do to delete them, it would be greatly appreciated. D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••C••• 18:14, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use images are copyrighted images that, unfortunately, can't be used on the user namespace. If you did know that, then the images I'm talking about are the Series of Unfortunate Events symbol, the cover to The End, and the cover to one of the Harry Potter books.

I don't know, it breaches Florida law or something. D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••C••• 10:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I know, it's stupid. But I believe any user can edit it for the sake of spelling and fair use, so I'll just do it for you. It stinks you forgot your password. D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••C••• 22:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I think Wikipedia originates from Florida, so it still breaches it. Sorry, man. The Userboxes Nazis hate fair use userboxes. I've been scolded like a punching bag too many times for fair use. D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••C••• 22:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Your welcome. D•a•r•k•n•e•s•s•L•o•r•d•i•a•n•••C••• 00:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Halloween Event?

Did you enjoy it? I know I didn't (ghost zapping gets murdered when other players start blowing away your ghosts at mach speed >_>). Anyway, I didn't know about that Motor Trend article with the person in it, but on the other hand, I probably don't know him/her anyway... OOH a Triple Triad challenge w00t! --҈Đǣţĥ ɱøťőŕ ☎ 01:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Check this out

See, we have some nice things in our state as well =P--҈Đǣţĥ ɱøťőŕ ☎ 21:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Meh, I'll give you two reasons why it's crazy for me. First and foremost, it respresents the end of a school marking period in my school, and teachers are assigning us projects and tests on the day they are supposed to log in their grades. Second, I was going to work on a project with my partner at the library, but neither of us knew that it was being closed for electorial purposes. So now, I have to do it myself and hope that he doesn't do one by himself as well (or there will be a big mess) Also, I changed my sig =P and right now, I'm working on typing up the properties of associativity, commutativity, distributitivy (think I spelled it wrong =P), identity, and inverse. Right now, I'm working on the multiplicative inverse property, which explains that a*1/a=1 if a is not equal to 0.--҈Đǣţĥ ɱøťőŕ ☎ 23:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Brb, need to go see the elections at our local library.

[edit] Ed

Did you hear Ed's statement? You really need to check it out. He totally shocked me and the whole community. I really hope he comes back soon.Tennislover 02:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cute 14u

I really need your help. I was working on trying to unprotect Cute 1 4 u's discussion page. Ed was trying to help me but he is apparently not doing as much participation as he used to.( I wouldn't be either). So I was wondering if you could help me convince Yanksox to unprotect it. What do you say?Tennislover 01:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't pay attention to that messege. We found another sock puppet of Crystal's. Another one!Tennislover 03:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the supportive comments you left on my talk page during my Wikibreak. I felt like coming back because I realized I can always make a difference here on Wikipedia. I always make it a point to be able to express my own opinion, so that's why I wrote the essay. Anyway, thanks again, and I give you the kindness award of the lobster. As you already know, lobster is a very beneficial food item in RuneScape.)--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 03:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

		The Kindness Award of Ed
		This Wikipedian has received the Kindness Award from Ed for going the extra mile to be kind to another person. Kindness is important so that there may be an improved sense of community here on Wikipedia. As a reward, I offer this user a random piece of food. (I will never give the same food item out twice, so don't be jealous.) You may read a nice story on kindness over here.

[edit] Bunjevacki jezik?

Ne znate li govoriti Bunjevacki? :) --PaxEquilibrium 01:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Heh, stavite ondak samo barem [Template:User bu-1]; ta razumijete ga valjda tek toliko! ;) --PaxEquilibrium 01:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Utah State Routes WikiProject

The main reason I haven't added it is because I haven't been active in it and haven't had anything to contribute. I have other things on my priority first, and I've been pretty busty lately (and thus my Wikipedia activity level has gone way down). However, feel free to add it to my user page. bob rulz 05:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thank you

Hi RSJ, I hope you don't mind being called that. I'm glad you liked my essay and I hope it conveyed what depression feels like. I've been to Utah a few times, but for some reason, I still haven't seen Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and all the other national parks there. As you can tell, I really like the national parks and the outdoors. Thanks for your message!--Kyoko 15:00, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

Hey RSJ. Ok, one, I alrady took a WikiBreak for about a week or two, but that was a while ago. Two, I forgot to remove my notice on my user and talk pages, so some people might think I'm still gone, even though I'm not. Just clearing that up. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave that easily, especially if I receive threats or warnings. Thanks again, bye. --Crna Gora 22:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

Wow. I would like to know where you found out about your Bart Simpson userbox. Do people really have them on theri pages? As their creator, I couldn't be more astonished that people actually are using things i made. Thanx!  scrumshus ^{Talk to me} 20:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Well that could explain it. Thanx for carrying one of my userboxes!  scrumshus ^{Talk to me} 19:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Don't Leave!!!

Hi, RSJ. I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to respond. Unfortunately, I'm still a bit tied up with some personal issues, but I hope to be editing again soon. I'm not sure that I'll ever resume editing at my earlier pace, but I hope to not WikiQuit. Thanks for your kind words. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 01:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concordia Newsletter

NEWSLETTER

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.

[edit] Help out now!

• Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
• Give people the Civility Barnstar.
• Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
• Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
• Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.

We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.

[edit] Decision Making

The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.

If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.

- Ian¹³/t 20:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC). Kindly delivered by MiszaBot.

[edit] Thanks for the barnstar!

Thank you so much! I haven't been receiving that much barnstars lately, so I'm very excited! BTW would you mind if I used your {{utc}} template on the top of your page?--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 00:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

You're in MST, not MDT. The "D" represents Daylight Savings.--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 03:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Announcement

Announcement The "Help name my baby" Poll has closed :). Greta Annette was born 12/12/06. She weighs 6lbs 14oz and is 19inches long. Mother and baby are both doing fine. Thanks for all the suggestions! To keep this slightly Wikipedia related I have started Adopt a State, so adopt your state article today! -Ravedave (help name my baby) 03:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Travel agent's response

Hi. Firstly, the Eurostar service from London to Paris appears to be about €230 for adults (one way). It's a passenger train, you can't drive through. If you want to take a car to France via the tunnel, you have to use the Le Shuttle service (it's a car transporter train), not sure how much that is. As for driving a LHD car here, well I haven't ever done it, so I can't comment on that! Hope that's helped. QmunkE 09:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] a cappella

you're probably right...more are created every day...as Pacino says in The Firm: "vanity...definitely my favorite sin." savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 00:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you'd also be interested in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The House Jacks, which is a great example of how meat puppets and ip votes all too often succeed in not getting their personal favorite articles deleted. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 01:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

In principle they should be allowed to edit AFD debates because its not a vote and they can inform other voters (or the closing admin) about information that they may have access to. However, obviously there is a downside to it. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 01:24, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Runescape

I played Runescape for quite a while with all of my friends but they slowly quit playing and so have I. I quit about a year ago or so and I was lvl 66 combat. I made money off of selling logs because I had lvl 72 woodcutting. Well I hope you enjoy Runescape while you can but trust me whether or not you think you quit one day your interest will too slowly fade. Cheers!! --68.203.112.214 21:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hey

Hey, RSJ — just wanted to make sure I replied to your nice greeting on my talk page. Well, my exams (finals) are over, and that template that I had had been out of date since December 15! ;) But anyway, I've been relatively inactive on Wikipedia since I've been out of town and working on assorted things. I just noticed that on your user talk page you have the current time in Salt Lake City — I was just there, stopping in the airport on my way to Boise from where I live in Colorado Springs.

I wanted to also take the time to tell you that I've played RuneScape in the past, although I'm hardly ever online these days. My username is Webdinger. I'll get on sometime and see if you're there so we can chat. Anyway, it was very kind of you to offer me such a nice note! Thanks! ;) — † Webdinger ^{BLAH | SZ} 23:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy New Year RSJ!

In reply to your question, and after having checked your Babel and your trips to Europe, I figure you're already familiar with the point of view of the Macedonian Slavs (kindly pardon my Greekness in the use of disambiguation). I'll therefore try to enlighten you on the other side of the coin, as I admit being inevitably ...Greek. :-) So, here goes:

There are the Macedonians (Greek) who are 100% Greeks that live in the Greek province of Macedonia (Greece), speak a modern Greek slight variation called Macedonian dialect, and declare Greek Orthodox.

A new ethnic group emerged (arguably between 1880 to 1944) self-identified as Macedonians (ethnic group) along with a new self-identified Republic of Macedonia, who have nothing to do with Macedonians (Greek) (and don't want to have to do anything with Greeks either way) since they largely descend from Slavs and speak a language close to Bulgarian, which they officialy call Macedonian language. They also established a break-away Macedonian Orthodox Church.

The Greeks fear that the Slavs want to take over the whole contemporary Macedonia (region) (that arguably largely includes but is not limited to their country) and the glorious (Greek) history behind it by using the exact same name. The educated Slavs argue that the Greeks have nothing to fear, since they don't claim descent from the ancient or Byzantine Macedonians and they don't wish to invade Greece either. However, educated people are an extreme minority in most countries, and the result is that Macedonians (ethnic group) of the Republic of Macedonia who speak a Macedonian language are logically confused with Ancient Macedonians who lived in Macedon (almost equal to Macedonia (Greece)) and spoke Ancient Macedonian language (largely related to ancient Greek, but not 100% certain). Ancient rulers such as Alexander the Great self-identified as Greeks, but are attempted to be integrated as part of the new country's history. The country has also demonstrated expansionistic ambitions (United Macedonia). Both are regarded by Greeks as aided by the choice for the same name.

Personal opinion: It's better to be a worthy inheritor, than an unworthy offspring. So, both Greeks (Macedonians or Southerners) should stick to their business and prove they are worthy rather than offsprings; and Slav Macedonians should drop the history falsification and the irredentist claims. Then it won't matter what name our Northern neighbors will choose. They might also consider aiding everybody else (uninformed, uneducated) understand that instantly, by adding some dab in that name. To give you a parallel, it's like I told you that modern German citizens, living in modern Germany, and speaking German language, had absolutely nothing to do with Germanic people who spoke Germanic languages in Germania. Could that sound logical? If you mouseover, you'll see that this is the case!

Now that was a Greek's (biased) summary of the whole debate, so I urge you to go ahead and read Macedonia naming dispute and the featured article Macedonia (terminology) for more details. Happy New Year again! NikoSilver 20:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Could you please remove the "big" tags from your signature - it disrupts the text appearance on pages where it is uses.
