A barnstar for you!

The Resilient Barnstar
OK, I hope you're happy with your work, I think it's fabulous! And I'm also glad that we could (resolve? set aside? put on hiatus?) our differences elsewhere and that it led to this accomplishment of yours. Cheers! — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:11, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, Alf. It means a great deal more to me coming from you. I don't even consider our differences as anything to set aside, much less consider. I learned a great deal from the experience, and thank you kindly. Now then, is the article still supposed to be in my sandbox, or did I screw-up yet again? Atsme talk 19:17, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
No, it's normal that it's still in your sandbox. When you move a page out of userspace into mainspace that just happens. You can blank the sandbox version and it won't affect the real version, and then use your sandbox for other stuff. Would you be interested in trying to write a DYK (WP:DYK) from your new article? It'll get it on the main page for a few hours. That process can be a little overwhelming, I know, but if you'd like to try I can help you, or if you'd like it to happen but don't want to get involved, I can do it for you (which is normal, other people proposing DYKs for new articles).— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:23, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
I'd love to do something new. If you have the patience to work with me, I'm game. Also, I noticed in the "view history" of my new article, it shows all the edits. Uh oh? Or is that normal? You might want to take a peek at it. Atsme talk 19:26, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
It's supposed to show the history, don't worry about that. I'll think about what might be a good hook, and maybe you can read over the instructions at the DYK page. I believe you have 5 days or 10 days or something from when it's moved into mainspace, so it's not a super hurry.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:28, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
You can take the lead, and just coach me along so I can see first hand how it's done. Is that ok? Atsme talk 19:33, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
OK, will do later today or tomorrow and let you know what's going on.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:38, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

I miss your insightfulness, your patience, and your genius, Alf.laylah.wa.laylah. I hope you are checking in from time to time post, and will see my post. Please come back soon. Atsme 20:49, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Great works!! You have improved a lot....Keep up.... The herald 15:33, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
The Herald - how sweet - thank you!! And thank you for being so patient and giving of your time. I'm pretty excited about a couple new projects I'm working on offline, and also trying to improve a very inaccurate "start" article that relies heavily on self-published sources, and original research.

FA congratulations

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of American paddlefish to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,287 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Bencherlite 10:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, Bencherlite. I believe in the DYK/GA/FA process, admire the reviewers for their diligence, and generosity of their time, and hope I will be able to help bring more quality articles to Misplaced Pages. Atsme 12:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

This is to inform you that American paddlefish, which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Misplaced Pages Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 24 December 2014.

Precious

intrinsic beauty of sharing knowledge
Thank you, free at last, for quality articles such as American paddlefish and Gabor B. Racz, written with the background of experience and in the spirit that there's "something indescribable, yet intrinsically beautiful about sharing knowledge", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

The Fourteen Infallibles

Would please help us to copy edit this article, because we have nominated it for FA.--Salman mahdi (talk) 07:28, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Salman mahdi, I would be delighted to help. Atsme 11:33, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
With thanks fore your great helps, just a question, is it finished?--Salman mahdi (talk) 06:42, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
@Salman mahdi:, I copied the your table to my Sandbox, and will try to make it work per the suggestions of other editors on the TP. I have a little time to do it now. I am pretty sure it will not pass a FA review as it appears now, so I am going to try Technical 13's approach, eliminate the numbers column and shrink the graphics to see how it all works out. No promises, but I am going to try. Atsme 14:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement warning

This edit is disruptive and is not commenting on the content but instead on the contributor. Further edits of this nature will likely result in a sanction, including blocks and bans. This warning is given pursuant to the Arbitration Committee's decision on complementary and alternative medicine and will be logged as a sanction, the process for appealing it are here. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 03:01, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

It is under review. The error was inadvertent, and added a few extra emotions to a subsection title, which when combined, created the impression that I was being uncivil. Atsme 21:08, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Is that a joke, or are you actually threatened with prosecution for using an emoji? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:01, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Not a joke, Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ). I'm pretty sure it was the result of a misinterpretation. See ], and scroll down to the subsection Atsme to see what actually happened. It was a crazy malfunction of the emoji tool bar. I contacted Technical 13, and he suggested taking it to WP:VPT which I'll do tomorrow. In the interim, I remain hopeful that once Callan has a chance to review the evidence, he will revoke the warning. Atsme 00:54, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
  • For all the talk page stalkers who have been following the emoji caper, Technical 13 was kind enough to provide his insight as to what happened with the rogue emojis. Mac users need to be aware that reducing the size of your window(s) while using the SMirC emoji dashboard could be detrimental to your Wiki health as it may unleash a rampage of stampeding emojis with results you may not like, and certainly don't deserve. ??? Atsme 18:50, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Well you rolled the eyes and used a pun. I see though that that talk page is on edge. What are some reliable sources that are missing? – Popish Plot (talk) 03:42, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

G. Edward Griffin

Thanks for your detailed reply! That was very useful and thought-provoking, actually. In retrospect, it was probably my mistake to raise the issue again on the talk page after noticing the unsourced assertion in the lead, but I appreciate the useful links and commentary. You've given me something to think about. Oddexit (talk) 16:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

new essay

The ArbCom case against me is vexatious indeed - I shall not contend against those who taste blood. The main complaint even includes my essays - so I wrote one which I hope you will appreciate WP:Misplaced Pages and shipwrights. It would be fun to see how others react, indeed.

BLP

I'm not entirely clear on how you were connecting Kissinger and Clinton to the subject of the article, but it did appear that the connection to Clinton was OR and a potential BLP vio - you can't connect things like that. As far as Kissinger, I'm assuming the subject's book mentions Kissinger? Or are you saying that both the subject and Kissinger are talking about the same things? Dreadstar 22:18, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
