Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:20, 25 October 2007

Template:Archive box collapsible

I now archive my own page manually since I had some trouble with some archive bots. Basic rules for my talk page are as follows:

• If I have made a mistake and you are pretty darn angry about it... just relax and take a breath before screaming at me. Please don't forget this is just an encyclopaedia and we are all humans and we all make mistakes.
• No internet abbreviation's (Apart from 'btw') - I can't stand them.
• Standard English only... I don't understand things like: "da pony tr1ppd an feled an urt 1ts ne's"
• Keep foul language within reason and not directed at anyone (Unless they have been naughty).

Adoption

oh yes please. at the moment i'm pretty much lost so any help would be much appreciated. thanks AMIRITE 08:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that. It'll help me get used to talk and discussion me thinks. AMIRITE 09:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually we share a lot of common interests!! i was looking through your user page and its odd how many of your (templates? info boxes?) rectangles-with-words-and-a-picture i'll be copying. I'll probably be updating my page for the rest of the day. and bugging you for help and tips so thanks in advance for your help and patience. AMIRITE 10:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

well acting is a bit of a strong word for what i do. i try occasionally but i'm not very good. much better at the technical or production side of things. but acting is good for a laugh now and then. AMIRITE 10:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Easier said than done. Well for me anyway. I've been to Claire once. Stayed in Doolin for a little while. its a nice place.

right. i'm at a loss as to how to put in userboxes. well i know how the work i just need to find a list of them. for instance i can't find where the code for the native level of english box is. AMIRITE 12:29, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah Ha. Found it. Cheers. AMIRITE 13:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

howdy. i've just run into a bit of trouble, well more like confusion really with this page, http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:Skunk_Fu%21_characters.jpg i'm not sure how an image made available for free download stands in the licensing options. AMIRITE 08:58, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

So... wadaya think?...

...about this feller Darren Curtis Skanson. I smell self-promo... and lilely some bigtime copyvio from a personal website too. Thoughts? 156.34.142.110 14:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Ehile I have your attention... and if someone else has't done it already... could you rv this. Its a prot page so I can't touch it. 156.34.142.110 17:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting dinglenut's Twinkle violation. Editors shouldn't be allowed access the tools unless they prove they know how to use them. That's why I always liked VP... it's moderated... you have to apply to use it... you're judged on your edit history... and it can be taken away if you F**k around with it. Have a nice day! 156.34.142.110 14:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Lifted music

just to let you know that the page is up now, thanks for all your help :). Still have to sort out the logo since i had a message from a bot, but it should be ok. cheers, take it easy!!Nurow 19:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, yup, I love him in Scrubs, he is great. michfan2123 02:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Another 'self-promo' for your amusement

Check out this little flowing of flax and fluff. Very "look at me, look at me" 156.34.221.91 14:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

You are certainly fast!!! I barely had time to go get a coffee! I acutally discovered that one by A) Looking at Virtuosoone of the words that is used as a cruft adjective WAY too much on Wiki and then B)click on the "what links here" left hand link.... you will be whisked away to AfD and Speedy D heaven :D . Crufters, never beens and never will be's LOVE to label themselves as virtuosos. And that word links to over 400 pages. Some are legit subjects that just need to have the word virtuoso deleted from their article... since 99% of the time it's unreferenced and being used as an adjective. BUT... many of Wiki's virtuosos are absolute NN material and the virtuoso link makes it easy to find them. I have lots of experience finding these hacks... in fact... you could say I am a virtuoso at it :D 156.34.221.91 14:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

RfAs

Hello. I've seen you participate several times in RfAs where your comments have been "Oppose per X. Sorry". These are really not constructive comments. Maybe you should make up some original comments and suggestions about how the candidate can improve and ultimately become an admin and help out more around here. This would greatly help the user and Misplaced Pages in general. Happy editing! Regards, Agüeybaná 22:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

No thank you :-) I shall continue to Oppose and Support RfA's anyway I wish. It is completely up to users how they support or oppose an RfA. Some user's don't even leave comments, are you going to suggest to them to be more constructive too? Allow me to explain, by the time I reach an RfA the points that I want to make have already been made and it saves me a lot of time rather than just repeating something. So, thank you very much for your helpful suggestion, friend :-) - But, no. Scarian 22:45, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

"Are you going to suggest to them to be more constructive too?" Yes. "By the time I reach an RfA the points that I want to make have already been made and it saves me a lot of time rather than just repeating something." I understand that you've never gone through an RfA, but let me tell you that it is a really unpleasant experience, even it is successful. Piling on nonconstructive opposes does not help the candidate in any way. But, whatev. --Agüeybaná 22:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Buddy, I understand how frustrating it must be and I am sorry. Look - I'll compromise, next time I Support or Oppose an RfA I'll write my own reason, alright? But you gotta take notice that people get offended if you tell them what to do. Even if you smile sweetly and be all nice about it, people are still going to irritated if you tell them how to support or oppose an RfA. Take care and good luck with your RfA, friend. Scarian 22:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

It's not my fault that people can't take good-faith suggestions nicely and must always be offended by every single comment made about them. --Agüeybaná 23:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

No! Of course I understood and recognised it to be in good faith... but... I was just telling you something about psychology. People simply get annoyed if you tell them what to do, especially if it's something they've written. People tend to take what they've written and care for it like a child (We've all had brush in's with editor's on Misplaced Pages ;-). So you just gotta be extra careful in the future when you go and tell people to be more constructive with Opposes or Support's or whatever. Okay? Are we cool now, friend? Scarian 23:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Sure, thanks :-) Guess that's just how seriously screwed our society is. --Agüeybaná 23:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

ha! thanks :)

Thanks for removing the vandal's warning -- I could've sworn I'd done that, but it must've just slipped the mind. I blame the nature of vandal-fighting for my absentmindedness. ;o) Ashdog137 23:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, this is Drow Elf. I'd like to thank you for correcting me on my American/English spelling. I can spot commonly misspelled words pretty well, but I guess it just didn't occur to me that people in England would be editing Misplaced Pages too. Stupid me. Anyway, I think I corrected the word "encyclopedia" from its British spelling somewhere on this site. I need to try and fix that. Thanks again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drow Elf (talk • contribs) 13:13, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Keep your eyeballs peeled

for fanboy crufting like this tripe that's been bombed in twise on the Def Leppard article. Check out the edit summary the first time it was dropped.... total fanboy/fannyboy(whichever :D) crufting. Almost as bad as inclusionists :D . 156.34.142.110 15:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfA

I am sorry you felt it necessary to oppose my RfA, which did not succeed, at this time. I will attempt to make some more mainspace edits and get some more experience before my next RfA, which will be in two month's time. I hope I will have satisfied your concerns by then, but if not, please comment as you feel you should. Thanks for participating in my RfA. -- Cobi 07:37, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I rejected the WP:CSD request because in its current state the article content does not appear to be blatant advertising under WP:CSD G11. It is a brief and relatively modest description of the company. The article asserts notability and the company appears to be of sufficient size and scope that it is not obviously non-notable. Speedy deletion is not the appropriate avenue in such cases, please use WP:AFD to determine if the article should be deleted. --Shirahadasha 03:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I realize when you first saw the article it was pretty blatantly advertising for the company and the puffery part was cut down to size by another user. Perhaps that is a route that could be taken if an article on a potentially notable company contains puffery. You can also notify WP:ANI if you notice puffery being added by someone connected with the organization. Thanks for your efforts. Best, --Shirahadasha 16:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

One for your review

Tripped over this piece of glaring non-notability. Stuffed a prod on it. Perhaps a more stern fate should be administered. What are your thoughts? 156.34.219.214 17:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. Now... how 'bout this?. IT's early... it could just be that its VERY poor article quality makes it seems worse than it really is. 156.34.216.202 08:47, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

The article is a pile of dump. He is known but not that well known. This one has a bigger chance of being kicked off than that Eastern European band. I'd say you could PROD it and see what happens. An AfD would be a bit of a fight but still leaning towards deletion. Scarian 11:09, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

prodded. It'll likely get rm'd without any actual repair being done to the heap. Time will tell. 156.34.216.202 11:24, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Cradle of Filth

Not my caps - I merely quoted the instructions already on the page, a mere few words from where that edit was made (see ). --Stormie 00:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll let you make that call. It doesn't matter what you do anyway; I'll be blamed for it. Edgar Bergen over there can't tell us apart! -- But|seriously|folks  09:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for eavesdropping Scarian but I just wanted to say the above comment is one of the funniest things I've read on here in the last few days :D . Which one's Charlie? 156.34.223.236 10:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I know what you mean! I found it very funny too :-D haha Scarian 10:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Thought of the day Scarian

Ever notice(I believe I may have actually pointed this out to you before)... that the Misplaced Pages Metal Project is over-populated with d*nks. :D . After 400000+ edits you would think that I wouldn't get miffed by the idiots that try to edit here. But... there are the odd few who should get the banhammer. There... vented.... now back to "turn up the good and turn down the suck" :D . 156.34.238.220 23:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
