A markup favor
I just added some greek letters to my userpage, I'd like to have them up to the right like your mood icon. Can you do it for me, or tell me how? Teke 04:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the markup; I'm slowly learning html and java thanks to this dastardly project. Even more thanks for the tip on removing that gawd-awful header. Teke 05:03, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Working on notations
Do not delete author Greg Gallant entry. This is a reliable and accurate entry and notations are in development.
Re: Baked apple and Derek Wood (author) and LinkStation
I need a bit of advice !!! I have nominated the above 3 pages for deletion, comments are as follows:
- Baked apple : consensus = Merge & Redirect : How do I do this ???
- Derek Wood (author) : consensus = Keep : How do I do this ???
- LinkStation : consensus = Keep (Due to it being an AfD due to advertising and not notability) : How do I do this ???
Also, once the articles have been removed from AfD, how do I archive the discussions ? A lot of questions, I know, but I can't seem to find appropriate help pages. Thanks David Humphreys 16:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

A bad faith nom?
Regarding Marianne Williamson, just curious if you looked at the merge that was already performed, the notes on that page, etc. Ste4k 06:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- I made that comment due to your recent nominations of basically any article [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] [10] [11] having to deal with A Course in Miracles. Though I do believe that some of the above articles need to be deleted/merged, I find it suspicious that someone would coincidently nominate all these related articles for deletion due to notability, without having some sort of possible bias. Even so, please don't take this personally and I hope that you aren't offended by my comments. I'm trying my best to be civil. :) --TBCTaLk?!? 09:41, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- No problem at all here, but I work on categories at a time. Please review my contributions if you'd like. In any case, the references for all of the above with the exception of Gary Renard's area and Marianne Williamson's area were all basically tied in a star of recursive and redundant loops which led nowhere for sources except to the main book. The main book itself, and the discussion about those are another topic which is currently under mediation, so I'll just keep my peace on that. :) There are several others in the category which I will eventually get to and take a look at. I try to run the verification of such things before submitting them, depending of course on whether or not those sources are already known. Before I happened upon the first AfD which was submitted by somebody else, I had never heard of this book before in my life. But now over the past four or five days of investigating its sources, etc, no, I haven't read it, and no, I don't read doctrine, but I can easily see when something doesn't say what it clearly cites itself to be saying. In the case of the page and Marianne Williamson's book, I performed that merge myself, in fact, please review the history on that page, and also, you might find that all of the references are now on that page fairly credible. :) Basically put, it was simply an attempt by somebody to again undo a merge which was discussed by other editors and on that note I'll keep quiet. I don't believe that it serves any purposes to become enflamed by someone whom has never shown me any good faith to begin with (that other person). I was hoping though that you would read that article carefully and my analysis and etc., before making any assumptions which are probably the result of an anti-me campaign. :) Please give them a nice slow looking over and I think you will find that I haven't anything to hide. :) Ste4k 10:02, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Understood, but you should have added merge tags and/or discussed the issue on A Course in Miracles talk page first before having to nominate all the above articles for deletion. If anyone has been flaming you, feel free to report to an admin or other editors. Also, what's with all the ":)"'s, are you trying to parody my addiction of using emoticons in my statements, even in seemingly inappropriate situations*? :) :) :)
:)--TBCTaLk?!? 10:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC) *(note that I'm trying to be sarcastic)
- Yes, I tried to discuss the matter on the talk pages and was told basically to,... uhm... there really isn't a polite way to say that. :) I try to stay on the even WP:NPOV, WP:0RR, keel. I don't play games, it's silly, and a waste of everyone's time. There were several anons coming out of the bushes to enforce any editing anyhow. It seemed to me the best choice at the time was to allow qualified editors to make those decisions, not myself, I only nominated the articles, and I didn't debate even though on many of the proposals, even my own words were edited. He did that to seven of them, then edited some back, then the admins got to others. Looking for that URL just now, I just saw that it appears that his reason for creating the article was to bait me. He knows that I am a woman and he has done everything in his power to irk me (but I am simply too old). Anyhow, I am working right now on documenting the entire murky smoke and whistles that lie at the bottom of these ((in my opinion per policy) incredulous citations for the book. Ste4k 10:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- By the way, are you familiar with IRC bootcamp? There are several people there that looked at it and said the merge would be a good idea. Anyhow, I finally finished that message about the cited sources, you can find it over in these Talk Pages. Ste4k 12:42, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Lost Book of Enoch
- I noticed on the AfD you recommended a redirect while also stating you were not familiar with the subject. I think a redirect is the wrong thing to do in this case. If you have time, please take a look at my comments on the article.--Isotope23 13:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
RfA thanks
Thank you very much for your support for my recent RfA, which I'm quite happy to announce has passed with a consensus of 67 supporting, 0 opposed and 0 neutral. I'm glad I meet your criteria. Most of all, I'm glad you took the time to evaluate my candidacy, as I believe that's what keeps RfA running smoothly, and I'll be working hard to justify the vote of confidence you've placed in me. Please let me know at my talk page if you need any admin-related assistance, or simply if you have any comments on my performance as an admin. Thanks! TheProject 02:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
How does one . . .
From what I read on the discussion pages, Andrew has become stressed and abandoned the project. I would still like to get the category cleaned up and consolidated but doubt there is anyone around that really cares about the area that also has an NPOV. How does one exactly get a merge to be agreed upon? As noted earlier, I spoke with people on IRC that agreed it looked like a good idea on that other article. After doing so much reading on the citations, and becomeing familiar with the various entities in this category, while it's still all fresh in my mind, I'd like to get underway. Without Andrew around, now, consensus has taken a hike. ( ! ) Is there something similar to AfD that does the same thing as "merge merge merge" in the votes? Some of the articles have already gotten this consensus in Afd. I am wondering now should Afd be used to consult about a merge? After everything that's been said about these articles, I'd like a few opinions. Thanks, and please see notes to this regard. Ste4k 02:27, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice on the straw poll. The affair has become such a mess, and I have begun researching the book myself now. There are many facts that are in the court documents that are not being stated in the article, etc. So, I have begun a rewrite and it will be under a new name, after it is finished I'll put that up for a straw poll. I am very tired of his bickering, and trolling. He is uncooperative and anti-productive. His political games and abuse of the rules and policies are very immature. We are supposed to be mediating now, and he has claimed that he has left, but I've counted now at least three or four times that he has left today. I see no reason to further consider his actions less than hostile. It's one thing to assume good faith, and quite another to subject ones' self to patterened abuse. Hope this is clear, but still leaning my ear for advice. Thanks. Ste4k 06:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Here is the entire category of articles merged into one file and finally the truth comes out. There isn't any "ACIM" and all of those web sites are the same primary resource (not that they are notable enough anyhow). Feel free to pick on it. I will be doing a straw poll like you suggested earlier (as soon as I can figure out how it's done). Ste4k 11:22, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Red Shift (music)
I've rewritten the article... care to have another look? Grutness...wha? 04:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the update.
Hi,
Thanks very much for adding the contribution statistics to my RfA; I really appreciate it. Cheers. Folajimi 06:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Music Samples
Hi, I see you've responded to the straw poll at Wikipedia_talk:Music_samples. Since your vote, there has been some further discussion here, and I've suggested a slight amendment to the proposed guideline. I'd really appreciate your feedback on the subject. Thanks! --Wine Guy Talk 20:23, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your choice of name
You likely hear this a lot, but thanks for brightening my day a bit. Are you by any chance familiar with non-Wikipedian forumgoer by the nick of Communist Trees? --Kizor 18:29, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandal warning
It's ok. You must have reverted it right after I did. Shadow1 19:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user and talk pages. Persistent vandal that guy was. -- Gogo Dodo 19:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello Tree Biting Conspiracy/Archive 5, and thank you for your strong support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 05:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |
Vandal at 203.217.22.2
This vandal has struck again, this time at [Austro-Hungarian Navy]. Although this was reversed by the same IP with the span of a few minutes, I think the person is just flaunting the warnings given and taunting the mods who gave them. Since past bannings didn't seem to affect this person, perhaps this time you should ban this IP permanently? 24.82.221.45 00:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the cleanup on my page
The person who keeps doing that is called Pukeboy on www.nodqforums.com, is there anyway i can have his IP banned from my page? Thanks again :) --Dr. Pizza 19:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Template:Burger King
Good work...It gives me heartburn just looking at it (mmmmmmm....Tendercrisp) :) youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 12:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- PS--check out your awards page. :) youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 12:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Zelda enemy / enemies
TBC:
I'm going for conformity here with the title. As you can see on WP:ZELDA, the other templates are of the form (or at least will be):
- {{Zelda}} - general template linking between overview pages (such as Animals in The Legend of Zelda series)
- {{Zelda series}} - a navigational template for the game articles
- {{Zelda character}} - a navigational template for the main character articles
- {{Zelda location}} - a navigational template for articles on locations within the series
- {{Zelda enemy}} - a navigational template for articles on (recurring) enemy and boss characters
Consider the articles wherein these template calls will appear. For example, take Wallmaster. That page describes just one enemy of the series, and one alone. It makes more sense to the coder of the page to call {{Zelda enemy}} rather than {{Zelda enemies}}, because in one's thought processes one can think... OK, this guy is a {{Zelda enemy}}, not "a Zelda enemies."
To stick with how {{Zelda character}} was originally singular and how it makes sense from the coder's POV, I've thus been reformatting the other templates in this fashion. --Tryforceful 02:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, since the heading of the template is "Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series", shouldn't it be the same with the name of template? --TBCTaLk?!? 02:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- I know, that makes sense. I really just made an arbitrary choice in naming it, but seeing as the majority of people who ever see the code of Wikipedia are those who in fact edit it, I figured that it would aid Wikipedians to have it singular. Whatever the template header says doesn't need to have much relevance on the name of the template, and people will understand that {{Zelda enemy}} directs to a template that lists more than just one enemy.
-
- It really is arbitrary, and I just wanted to stick with the conventions of whoever it was that made {{Zelda character}}. Either way, every Zelda template should have all-plurals or all-singulars, so if you feel strongly enough, please change the others to plurals as well. Otherwise, you or I can change back {{Zelda enemies}}. --Tryforceful 02:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
-
-
- ...On second thought, why bother ^_^. Plurals are fine, I'll go ahead and change the others. --Tryforceful 03:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Michael has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
