Water hardness

Hi there. About the Water hardness article: I thought I had done enough looking around for a water hardness article, but who would have thought to look in the most obvious place (Hard water, Duh!). I'll work on merging the articles. Which title do you think is better: Hard water or Water hardness? --DanielCD 16:00, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• I'd suggest keeping the name hard water, firstly because that's how most people know it as (IMHO), and secondly because it seems to describe the broader topic, while water hardness sounds like a measure of hard water itself. --InShaneee 16:07, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Metallica

About Metallica: the "they" vs. "it" controversy when referring to musical groups seems to be a regional variation: American and British English differences#Grammar. To call it "improper grammar" is a little misleading. -leigh (φθόγγος) 09:07, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Interesting...I don't think I've ever encountered that before. In that case, I apologize for the accusation. That said, do you happen to know if there's any sort of standard for dealing with this on wikipedia, or does this just tend to happen? --InShaneee 15:11, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Stub Flood

Just a question, and please, don't take this the wrong way, but are you planning to go back and expand on the NES stubs you've been putting up recently? I really like your drive, and it's a cool project, I just hope we'll have some nice beefy articles at some point. And crap, this isn't meant to be condecending, I really couldn't figure a better way to word this. --InShaneee 04:39, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's actually more of an OCD thing.. I spontaneously felt like I had to include all games in my old collection. Maybe I will go back and expand some of them later. Why don't you work on some that you're familiar with? Rad Racer 04:43, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Count on it! NES forevah! --InShaneee 04:46, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

my signature

I'm not sure I want my signature in the public domain, unless it's a username sig. Can you please point me to it so that I can check, thanks, jimfbleak 20:10, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Yeah, it is, sorry. You can find it here. --InShaneee 19:30, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks, pubdom is fine, File:Jim.png

Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/John Driscoll

Please remove your post of IP addresses from this article http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/John_Driscoll as they are inappropriate. Jsecure

• Actually, everyone's supposed to sign their comments. Since those comments were made by an anon user, that was all I had to fill in. If you ARE that anon user, you should look into changing over the attributions. --InShaneee 15:28, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I've noticed you found my livejournal, and have been threatening legal action on it. If you'd simply look up wikipedia's policies, you'd see that IPs must be used in place of usernames for unregistered users. It is also NOT an invasion of privacy, since wikipedia logs IPs of unregistered users. If that's not your cup of tea, you shouldn't be here. --InShaneee 16:53, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• As far as I know we're in our right to put in the IPs of unregistered users for archiving purposes. It's completely useless to try and remove them anyway, as each edit remains in the history anyway, and you can't remove the edits you made earlier because of the GFDL. Mgm| 08:51, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)

Rachael McArthur

I've speedied Rachael McArthur, as requested. Why did you later want this not speeedied? Rich Farmbrough 17:02, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Honestly, I can't remember the article, or removing a speedy. Sorry. Little curious now, though, but let it drop if you don't think it's a big deal, which I doubt it was. --InShaneee 02:27, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Prison education

Hello! I hope that you'll find my replacement of the (obviously unacceptable) content of the article enough of an improvement ro consider changing your vote. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:12, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• While I usually don't approve of drastic rewrites to a page under voting, you obviously caught this one early on in the game, and now, thanks to you, we've got a right nice article. Kudos, and good job to you, sir! --InShaneee 02:23, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks — I'd never done it before, and I'm not quite sure what prompted me to do it this time. Still, all's well that ends well. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:16, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Since you obviously don't have a problem with the subject as such but rather had a problem with the previous content it would have been better to list it on cleanup rather than on vfd. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 06:25, 2005 Mar 16 (UTC)

• Well, I honestly didn't think at the time that an acceptable article could be made out of it, since the current topic was just original research and the title seemed to lend it self just to POV ranting. Mel just plesantly surprised me in that respect. Thanks for the advice anyway, though. --InShaneee 15:33, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Uploaded Image

Sorry I'm slow in replying . The photo of myself is the main one on my userpage. i wouldn't mind having a contact me tag >> next up from fair use??. I couldn't find the tag on wikipedia specialpages .. Maybe you can apply it for me on the original. Is your project out to tag specific photos? Cheers - max rspct 01:01, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Hm....perhaps this tag or this one? I'm actually fairly new at this, so I'm not sure which one would be best. No, I'm not targeting anything specific as such, just the ones I know what to do with. --InShaneee 02:44, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nikolai Yezhov

Be careful. Other sites mirror our content, so when you come across that, it's not a copyvio. Everyking 22:59, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Sorry. However, on Nikolai Yezhov, the site I reffered to had no info about attrobution. Should that be listed somewhere for further action? --InShaneee 23:02, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • They are supposed to attribute it, yes, but I think a lot of them don't and nothing is really done about it. Everyking 23:07, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Toasty image

You mentioned that a Toasty image is currently an orphan, but it is not; it's actually linked from the Toasty article. It always has been. Thanks for the message, though! David Silva 05:12, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

... I take it back. I just fixed it. God, I'm such an idiot. Thanks for pointing it out. David Silva 05:19, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Good work

You caught Sumu-abum literally seconds after it was posted; good job!—Trevor Caira 15:01, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Thanks! That's what happens when trolling the 'Recent Changes' page is your idea of fun. :) --InShaneee 15:03, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Fictional planets

Well, you should have noticed that most of them are subcategorized further. Also, Dinosaur Planet is a novel, the name of the planet is Ireta, not Dinosaur Planet. 132.205.45.110 19:36, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

RC

Thanks! I have to give all the credit to my cable connection, though. :) – ClockworkSoul 04:15, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have to tell you though: my real pleasure is in finding copyvio pages. In fact, I just made a new template to drop on the pages of clueless newcomers that don't know not to copy and paste web pages: Template:nothanks. What do you think? – ClockworkSoul 04:19, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
