Summarized stuff

Welcome to Misplaced Pages! KF 20 Feb 2003 -- It's not bad. Stan 21:49 -- WikiLove, MB -- Celebrate the woman in you. :-) Anthere -- Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! Sysops basically can't do anything. Eloquence 17 Jun 2003 -- Commiserations. jimfbleak -- Yours seems to have vanished. Koyaanis Qatsi -- You've hit the rare but deadly Simultaneous Edit Bug. :( Brion -- Don't let it go to waste...a migraine headache. Pizza Puzzle -- Beautiful. Koyaanis Qatsi -- Very bad. 172 -- I'm a developer not a developer. Tim Starling -- If you know how to, I would thank you very much. Davichito. -- Apologies. Jim -- Stephen Crane, John Steinbeck etc. Notheruser -- Amnesia ...it happens to the old. Menchi -- Who Moved My Cheese? Notheruser -- Link = Bad. Dragons flight -- I assumed it was allowed. LDan -- I didn't see anything. LDan -- Linking to Wikiquote is great. Hephaestos -- Answer the question of the simple wiki's true purpose. Stevertigo -- Money well spent...The link you posted does not work, but I believe you. Tiles -- Thanks for adding yourself to the Psychopathology WikiProject! Vaughan -- Off to meta...sv -- Love your user page! We seem to be going around and around in circles. What do we want and when do we want it. FearÉIREANN -- How is the logo contest going to be fair? Tonius -- I do use the preview button. Tonius -- I appreciate the help! Jwrosenzweig -- I was wondering about your redirect. StinKerr -- Thanks for the link to Ships Project I'm looking at it. StinKerr -- Good idea. go raibh maith agat. -Steve -- Er, "stating views" with RK is kinda like "just be nice to the hyena." sv -- And yes its a load of nonsense, yes, Go to sleep, Avoid the Wikidrug. sv -- Then dinna be controversial - e'be tirin'. sv -- What actions, Angela? 172 -- A historian shouldn't care when these pages turn into garbage, right? 172 -- Please, don't fall for the crap spewed by this user. 172 -- I disagree with your rather pacifist assertion. One should not argue with a fool, or people wont be able to tell the difference. sv -- Make whiners sysops, and soon the whole project goes right to hell. 142.177 -- Someday work cordially on an article if our pursuits on Wiki ever coincide. 172 -- Give a tantrum child responsibility, and that child will grow into its new role. sv -- I will say it to his face when I work up the courage. sv -- Otherwise you would, by emperical evidence, have to be on speed to keep this up. sv -- I thought that the summary of my comments was a parody. 172 -- It's nice to see that you are using the flower I gave you. MB -- I'm not trying to change your mind here... MB -- Could you try and help Nostrum out? His major mistake was messing with the wrong crowd. MB -- Interlanguage links don't have a "correct" place. AstroNomer -- Well, now--that depends on who's asking, young lady. sv -- D'ye see me point m'Dear? sv -- 不是! 不是! Some stubs are better than others. sv -- IL links/usefulness - I respectfully disagree. sv -- I dont ask for much, but I ask that you support his nomination. sv -- You must say "Listed on Votes for deletion" mav -- Thanks from ManicGypsy, lee, Hdk, Paul Darby, LDan, Stevertigo, KRS, Rvalles, Wenteng, Jose Ramos, hoshie, Anthere, Thoth, hoshie, Gryon -- Your deletion of Tony Wilson was premature. Oliver P. -- I got cold feet immediately after I got a user account KRS -- Am I to assume that any reference to the birthplace of a famous individual is an irrelevant entry? Alex -- I'd say that qualifies you for an article. Stephen Gilbert -- Is this OK for the addition to Misplaced Pages:Deletion_policy Noel --I agree that it's not a good idea to discuss a single user at the pump Jwrosenzweig -- Maybe you could pester him a bit ;) -sv --Languages suck. sv -- it's going to make conversion more difficult overall. Brion -- VfD- I'm horrified. so many people have left Misplaced Pages, but their departure also goes unnoticed. KF - meta ...its a sort of a wasteland, sv -- Dydw i dim dy difalch gwas? Sv -- yo simplemente lo nombrará "Griego" sv -- I just discovered Misplaced Pages a couple of days ago, I am realy amazed. -Steve -- Can't that page be protected? Alex756 -- What happened with your studies in Software Engineering? MB -- My intention is to arrange a philosophical discussion among the greats Tonius -- I really doubt it now. 172 -- admin status can be revoked in a matter of minutes. 172 -- maybe you'll feel like coming back? I hope so.... Noel -- You are a dedicated Wikipedian and I hope you'll be back. ;-( — Alex756 -- What happened to your userpage? Viajero -- I quit. Angela. 25 Aug -- Please stick around! Viajero -- Do you know anything about aumism? Anthère -- I hope you decide to stick around -- you've always been a voice of sanity around here. Eloquence -- one voice of sanity is not enough when everyone else is mad. Angela -- Who is mad, I'll kill em ;). MB -- I'd like to welcome you to the madhouse again. KF -- Perhaps I shouldn't let the vandals get to me Angela -- go mad yourself. Join the party. Has a banned user really been nominated for sysop staus? Oliver P. -- leaving Misplaced Pages is a sure sign of madness. Oliver P. -- Impeccable Vulcan logics. Menchi -- the wonders of Wiki will always overwhelm its imperfection. Menchi -- Missing Wikipedians . sv -- I am not Pizza Box. 212. -- When I am really mad at the french, I come here. I am terribly sentimental about people I appreciate :-) Anthère -- Take a good breath of the WikiLove flower above :-) Anthère -- Viajero, I really hope you’re not Lir. Angela -- I was wondering why you'd deleted yourself. Tut-tut-tut. ;-) Martin -- I have made several dumb mistakes. kkawohl -- Kurt, read List of central issues and then bug the editors. EofT -- reverting RK's ban page is a serious mistake. It is revolting in the extreme to watch otherwise intelligent people fall for it. EofT. -- This is not a schoolyard. secret letters to himself no less. You are erasing the memory of Misplaced Pages. EofT -- Perhaps you should read Nineteen Eighty-Four again. EofT -- Wow, it certainly didn't take you long to get back into the heat of things MB -- To have you depart also without making some attempt to redefine what makes this mass of text acceptable as an encyclopedia, would be the true tragedy. We were here working together "for a reason", your friend EofT -- Thanks for sticking up for me. Alex -- I think 172 is fair game for this kind of joshing. Alex -- not that 172 is an evil dictator. I can see why you were thinking of leaving. Alex. -- you just sliped seven points further into Wikipediholicism (Q53) ;) -- sannse -- I got 200 points for the question that cannot be asked. sv -- "huh?" %\ hm? what might have provoked her to leave? took a look at db query page. sv -- 不是.坏询问。-戴眩sv -- ps. 您怎么知道?感谢, 英国-生的甜妇女。 sv -- I'd like to show them to you. Wikibi -- Trolls request your review of ethics, as you have recently had ethical disputes with trolls. Yum! neh neh neh 142 -- You were the first to five us the info Anthère. -- there should be something that discourages people from removing the copyvios and then rewriting the page. Alex -- Systransoft.com was buggin or something. Faker SV -- Actually, yeah, I just realized that. MB -- Signing other people's comments is entirely reasonable Martin -- yup, that is ok to me :-) anthere -- Thank you for the fix and the welcome! Fourprint -- I do not know if EoT is banned right now. It is just basic politeness to allow the different editors in a dispute to express themselves. Anthère -- I am an oil paper lamp. Don't forget to sleep to fill up the lamp. Anthère -- several users have been quite rude to newbies, some newbies have even left. If you can help at that moment, that will be very greatly appreciated Anthère. -- dont delete those! Jiang -- Please stop vandalising other peoples' work. Heine -- keep him from vandalizing them. RickK -- Everything under control? its late almost 9pm here! Stevertigo -- Thank you for letting me wade into the Heine user-page festival. Zippy -- I disagree with you...but only in principle. TravelingDude -- this looks like it should fix things. RK -- You just run rebuildlinks.php. Give me a day or two. Whoa, hang on. they're 300 MB. Okay, try this. Tim Starling. -- make sure they are good Simple articles hoshie -- it would be nice to avoid that happening. Noel -- I appreciate your patience, and I am amazed by your speed. Hawstom -- Thank-you for your advice, I'm a new user. Dr Blix. -- how do you get your handy statistics? Not manually, I'm sure Cyan -- either way is probably fine. Hephaestos -- The french user I told you about returned today. Anthere -- I went and did it again...I really am not trying to cause trouble. Tom -- I have posted a reply on VfD. Cyan -- I am just a "bit" disgusted. A big bit. Anthere -- True, but i'd meant it in a specific (unclear) way. Kwantus -- Eloquence has done this before...assumed the role of Wiki God. Jtdirl -- you are defaming me on another user's talk page. Eloquence. -- I can be a bit stubborn sometimes...Eloquence is a good and capable participant but his 'I am God' moments really really piss off a lot of people. Thanks for the support. FearÉIREANN -- The person playing God here are you, James. You have big problems. Eloquence. -- See what I mean about his God Complex! Typical Eloquence. FearÉIREANN -- Hello... this is really not the place to have this argument. Angela. -- I am proud to be in the last 11. Anthere -- its 8:15 am in London? Ah. listen to the body though. Oh jeesh what am I turning into...Heres a t-shirt: got sleep? sv -- how do you like it to be posted to the ML? Looxix. -- the other William Bowyer was a printer also. Hephaestos -- I have just added myself to the Cleaning department. Cyan -- I am confused ...I want to know if this is wrong for some reason. Cyan -- Check out the solution I devised. Cyan -- I have asked Brion to unmix the edit histories ...I don't want you to think I've been talking about you behind your back. Cyan. -- you could be right. I'm just anal retentive. Cyan. -- Re: grumpy. I always (try to) assume good faith. Cyan. -- Thanks for the welcome message and the link to the verifiability page. Rhsatrhs -- I was not aware that pages could be undeleted...Ancient Rome directory...I had real fun. Muriel Gottrop -- p.s Great user page you have! Muriel. -- Good move... a very good idea (and not just because I suggested it. FearÉIREANN -- sorry. I'm an idiot. I'm a moron and put a notice thingy up without knowing you had already deleted it. Evil saltine -- lol er... thanks :p Evil saltine.

Thanks & verifiability

Thanks for the welcome message and the link to the verifiability page. I had actually already started trying to contact someone who might be able to verify the information. Rhsatrhs 03:43, 10 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Undeletions

Good morning Angela! Thanks for the deletion. Actually i was not aware that pages could be undeleted. But these ones are dead for good: their contents is now in the brand new Ancient Rome directory. I had real fun constructing it! Cheers, Muriel Gottrop 08:28, 10 Sep 2003 (UTC) PS - Great user page you have!

Engelsism

Good move on the creation of move of Engelsism to the /delete page. I think using this form of page is a very good idea (and not just because I suggested it!!!) I've created a page linked to the VfD page where we can archive such debates after they have concluded. FearÉIREANN 23:34, 10 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Copyvio notice on deleted page

sorry. I'm an idiot... could you delete ACIM again? I'm a moron and put a notice thingy up without knowing you had already deleted it... Evil saltine 01:22, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

lol er... thanks :p Evil saltine 01:32, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Still up eh? :-)

Zaijian.

Reversions

Thanks for providing info about these. However the suggested method doesn't seem to work in current Misplaced Pages. If you are a sysop you might have a tool for this, but for the rest of us it seems that only editing the current page works, so more work is required to do fixing. Pity! -- David Martland 13:23, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

OK - thanks for your message - so it's very important not to click on cur or last. That makes more sense. I think I should be able to do it now. Thanks. -- David Martland 17:39, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

talk page control

(re user talk:RickK) Martin, please stop trying to wind him up. You don't do that to Eloquence who also does not link to the archives of his talk page when he deletes them. You can click on page history to see what has been removed so I can't understand your reasoning behind trying to enforce RickK, BuddhaInside, or anyone else to keep stuff they don't want on their talk page. Angela

Eloquence indicates that content has been deleted, which is all I really desire - given that indication, one can always click on page history. Given Jiang's views, I felt the blanking was inappropriate. However, I'll give way. Martin 13:48, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the referral. I took care of it. Cyan 16:12, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I like your talk page summarization technique so much, I think I'll steal it. -- Cyan 20:34, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Apparently that's what happens when you're trying to move a page and IE gives you a "Page Not Found" and you hit reload. I'll go tell Brion. -- Cyan 22:09, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Please don't mind the foul comment made to you by that copyright violator. I read it, and his reply made no sense whatsoever as a response to your polite suggestion and request. True Wikipedians appreciate a lady like you here. He obviously doesn't know how to work collaboratively here with the necessary (and should-be-welcomed) feedbacks and advices. That's a skill he apparently doesn't need or unfortunately hasn't acquired in his workplace and/or school. --Menchi 00:35, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Thank you for clearing up my confusion. It just seems like, lately, no matter what I do, it's wrong. RickK 01:17, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome!

Took a bit of hunting around to figure out the talk pages. The help link you supplied in the welcome page, uh, helped.

In any case, thanks for the warm welcome.

Misplaced Pages is a fascinating project, something we were all projecting back in the heady early days of the net. Amazing what you've all accomplished in just a couple of years. Kudos all around.

So far I have to admit to being just a tad selfish with the edits, primarily adding external links to appropriate pages on my own website. But I've been making a mental note of the red links and will eventually come back and work on any I can help out with, probably beginning with the Australian outback.

Cheers, Hex Angel 04:18, Sep 12, 2003 (UTC)

Angela, I hate to clutter your nice page, but could you tell me how to add Username and timestamp at the end of my Talk comments? User:Hawstom

Hi Angela--

Thanks for removing the pay link from "Da capo aria"--sorry, I hadn't even realized it was a pay link. Your vigilance is appreciated.
