Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 07:43, 25 February 2008

I am here for some very limited purposes, because some people have asked me to help in some specific cases. I am prepared to do this. I am not intending to be here much, at present. I have not yet decided whether to start using this account actively again. No, I don't want to talk about any of the foregoing, thanks, the people concerned know who they are and how to get hold of me. This is about some ongoing unresolved issues being discussed on one or more mailing lists, when that debate comes to fruition I will take a view. Guy (Help!) 12:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

You have my sincere sympathy. I lost my father last year and I can relate. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 01:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm so sorry to hear this. My sympathies to you and your family. -- Donald Albury 02:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Please accept my condolences. I lost my father in 2006. Reading your loving tribute to your father, I am struck by the similarities to my own dad. Mine did his service in the USAF, rather than the RAF, and did meteorology as his technical specialty. He served 50 years with the same firm. We are profoundly unfortunate to lose those important in our lives, but also profoundly fortunate in that we had their acquaintance for the time we did. --SSBohio 06:16, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to hear about the loss of your father. God rest his soul. - PeaceNT (talk) 07:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for all of this, I would also offer my condolences as well.--JForget 16:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I want to express my condolences. I would have posted sooner, but it was a bit overwhelming. I am very sorry and deeply saddened by this news.--Filll (talk) 18:08, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Heard of your father's death from a Wikifriend. Please accept my deepest sympathies. We have often "crossed swords", and been on opposite sides of disagreements, but I've been where you are. You're in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. Regards, Mr Which ???

Please except my condolences. Your father sounds a bit like mine, and born within a year of each other; hard working on very real, concrete projects (mine in the steel industry), and with a life both full and interesting. Sounds like he spent most of his life with people who loved him, and left the same way. My best to you and your family. Rosencomet (talk) 21:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Condolences, JzG. Lost my dad in 1977. He would have been 100 in April 2008.PJHaseldine (talk) 22:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC) (No relation, so far as I'm aware, to RAF "Hazelden"!)

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my sympathies and condolences to all your family. --Shirahadasha (talk) 02:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't really know you that well, but I saw you've made some great edits to WP:Rouge admins, so I think you're awesome. If it means anything at all, I hope you're doing okay. ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 06:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I lost my father suddenly about three years ago, and know how it feels. Thoughts and prayers with you and yours. UltraExactZZ ~ Evidence 15:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Deepest condolences from me as well. From the description, your father was a swell guy. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 15:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Therefore, send not to know

I only just heard about this, and your linked commons page brought back memories of my own dad; I'm really choked right now. You have every right to be proud of him, as he was of you. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

My condolences to yourself and your family, thank you for the memorable page about your dad. . . dave souza, talk 14:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Guy, I lost my mom 3 years ago and all I can say is may you find comfort in the many happy memories I'm sure you have, and that time will ease your pain. Wildthing61476 (talk) 18:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I hope and trust that the support we all wish to provide makes it a little easier for you as you go through this difficult time. Losing parents is something for which one is never prepared. Relata refero (talk) 19:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

You don't know me I don't think but I wanted to just say that I sympathize with your loss. When I lost my own father it was devastating. Again my sincerest condolences, try to remember the great times with him, it really does help the mourning. --CrohnieGal 17:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

You have my deepest sympathies, Guy. I appreciate you sharing something of him with all of us. William Pietri (talk) 22:59, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Kindness

I thank everyone here for their kindness. I would ask that any Misplaced Pages-related stuff goes at /wp-stuff for now. This talk page is a comfort to me at present and I'd rather like it to stay that way. Thanks.

Recent events indicate that I am emotionally far less stable than I thought. I will probably use my trusty sockpuppet for a while. Send email if you want an answer to something. And feel free to remind me of the wisdom of ignore all dramas. Guy (Help!) 16:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I lost both parents in the recent past. Don't necessarily ignore the drama. Embrace it and take charge of it. Acknowledge that there can be unresolved issues. That can't be helped. Acknowledge any problems and celebrate any good things. You'll never get over it, but you'll get used to it with the passage of time. Baseball Bugs 14:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Userify it?

While I find Template:uninformed wingnut drivel to be a good chuckle, perhaps it would be best if you userified it? I just envision somebody adding it somewhere and it touching off a boatload of drama and whining. I don't care if it exists, especially since the purple box is actually larger than the template, but you know how these things can get... Anyways, no biggie, just a simple query. Cheers, — Scientizzle 19:01, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

• Sure, userfy or delete, a giggle was all it was for, if someone laughed and it improved their day a bit then it did its job :-) Guy (Help!) 19:34, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • User:JzG/Uninformed wingnut drivel‎ I didn't wanna delete it: too enjoyably snarky to be done away with. — Scientizzle 21:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

This is hilarious. Thank you. David in DC (talk) 06:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Wiki page

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm wondering how one can get one's "own" wiki page? I've been thinking of doing something like that for my relatives. It would not be an "anyone can edit", obviously. But I wonder where you go to find something like that? Baseball Bugs 19:28, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Abuse truth

It occurred to me to post here rather in ANI because that seems to be a discussion among blocking admins and I am only a user.

Yes: it's kind of tragic that AT seems to be clueless about what all of this is about. Being blocked, there is still a tiny chance that he might listen to WLU. But the real question is if he will really change his behavior if unblocked?

Kimberly Williamson Butler

Hi. I'm unsure if I agree that the Kimberly Williamson Butler needed immediate speedy deletion. Might some notice of problems which need fixing or a listing for proposed deletion rather than unilateral speedy have been options? Comments? Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 22:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

You surprise me...

I must say, for someone with whose attitude I've silently-yet-vehemently disagreed with so very often*, you're actually turning out to be a fun person! That Clarence Budlington Kelland thing, for instance--and the Uninformed Wingnut Drivel template (I soooo wanna make a real-life version of that and slap it on my cube-mate's computer when he starts listening to his conspiracy-theory Internet-radio shows...) I'll be interested to see how the Kelland article shapes up...and judging from that pic on the linked site, he is ANYTHING but "gaunt-faced". I was expecting Skeletor, or something like. Anyway...:) *no offense meant--I'm well aware that a world run by people who think just like me would be hopelessly squishy and inefficient.Gladys J Cortez 22:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
