Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid64 (talk) 06:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that woudl be good. Essentially, I am working on the version you sent me, fixing up disambiguation links. I am also removing some, as the links are incorrect (for instance, I am sure you do not mean axis to be an album by a heavy metal band or a the Axis powers in WW2). Also, take a look at The Cantos version on Vero when you have a chance. Danny 13:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

• Shit! I have just looked at axis this is why I need copyediting all the time, I use words that sound Italian or Latin and assume they mean the same in English, I understood axis to mean "designed in line with". There is the mathematical page but that looks too complicated. I looked at the Cantos on Verupedia, it is nice to see Filiocht's masterpiece preserved inntact. Giano 13:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, Can you please tell me exactly where to put the new image. Thanks. Danny 14:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I thought where the missing image now is in the 20th century section, originally a fair use book cover, the empty space is still there with the caption. The new picture is exactly the same as the one on the book cover so the caption can remain almost the same. Giano 14:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Lordy

Giano, please help us be rid of the nonsense here. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 15:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• I thought they had sensibly chopped all their heads off. I've often wondered about a nation that felt the need to invent the bidet but I digress. I'm not sure at all about French titles, I thought knights were chevaliers or something - I had better not comment. I think quite a lot of the French "nobility" invented their own titles. Whatever, this whole thing of people getting a page because they happen to have had a great grandfather who was notable is all becoming a little silly, but fear not, I have a cunning plan. Giano 16:13, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

These new categories were unhelpfully created by a Belgian user who has a habit of sticking their foot in it regarding nobility articles. The Baronets and Peers are indeed silly but categories for Seigneurs are worse as they are the equivalent to English Lords of the Manor (tied to property not genes) and there must be tens of thousands of them in France probably all having similar names... Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 16:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I may have been mistaken about Sieur being the equivalent of a Knight- apparently it is merely a contraction of Seigneur but in my experience Sieur and Seigneur do not seem to be interchangeable for a given Seigneurie so maybe it is just something that resulted from habit rather than protocol.

My RFA

Thanks for voting on my RFA! Although ultimately it was unsuccessful, I do appreciate the feedback. I will definitely try and increase my mainspace activity to what is hopefully satisfactory to you, and hopefully next time I will have improved enough for your support. Thanks again! --danielfolsom 21:23, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

A pity some present Admins don't adopt the same policy. I hope you have better luck next time. Giano 21:26, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

pull!

Thanks for your help in getting the good ship SS Christopher Columbus to Good Article status. She would have been sunk without everyone's help, it's really swell how we all pulled together.

anchors aweigh!

Your offline encouragement was very helpful, as were your edits, much appreciated. ++Lar: t/c 23:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

{{in use}} and assuming good faith

I made a mistake. I had never seen the template before, and I am sorry for editing Quadrant (architecture). But please assume good faith. Mistakes happen, and that is no reason to jump down someone's throat. I promise it won't happen again.

Also, I am free to change my talk page however I see fit. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't bring it up again, as it seems to be a silly vendeta. Thank you. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 19:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I always assume good faith, however, most of your talk page seems to be devoted to people challenging yout placing of tags where they are not required. Deleting me, yet again, will not change that. Please write some pages yourself before judging the handywork of others. Giano 20:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Olga Rudge.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Olga Rudge.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Bugger off! Giano 14:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Do bots bugger? ;) --Doc 14:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I bugger them all the time. How nice to see you restored to us. Giano 14:31, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I won't read too much into that, just in case of misunderstanding. I'm back p/t - with an intention to concentrate on content and shy away from drama. Whether that will work out, I don't know. But for now, I'm having some fun.--Doc 23:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes well, I am being sweetness and light to all too, while I pack up my loose ends. Giano 00:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Pilotis

If you were to decide that the pair of pilotis apparently supporting Palazzo Giano posed an unreasonably difficult problem to the chauffeur of Lady Catherine's Isotta-Fraschini, and decided to remove one and donate it to a Worthy Cause, what would you be left with? -- Hoary 09:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles closed

The above named Arbitration case has closed. The Arbitration Committee decided that ny user who hereafter engages in edit-warring or disruptive editing on these or related articles may be placed on Misplaced Pages:Probation by any uninvolved administrator. This may include any user who was a party to this case, or any other user after a warning has been given. The Committee also decided to uplift Vintagekits' indefinite block at the same time.

The full decision can be viewed here.

For the Arbitration Committee, Daniel 08:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

• Fantastic to see that basic common sense has triumphed and Vintagekits may edit again. I'm sure the problems will happen again but hopefully the admins concerned will have learnt to be a little more judicious and thorough in their investigations and less ready to believe the less than frank claims made by any Tom, Dick or Harry who happens to have the ability to pick up a telephone and speak with modulated vowels. Giano 08:53, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

A laudable finish, to be frank! One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 11:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I think that is enough gregarious prattle on the subject. Giano 11:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

There's no need to be so frosty! One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 11:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't be such a dick. Giano 11:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Bonheur du jour

Noting your recent interest in the Credenza, perhaps you would prefer something a little more "delicate", "charming" and "coquettish"? -- !! ?? 17:57, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Tony Sidaway

Giano, I love you too. But as for your comment on Tony's page, making sure he read your response to his rudeness is enough. It does not matter whether it is deleted or not by him oh his friends. I thought I better post it here first before the 3RR warning from certain quarters pops up.

Now that I said it, whoever came here to post the 3RR warning, please use the space below. But please consider not posting it. Giano knows 3RR and blocking him has always done nothing good to the project or the blocker. --Irpen 22:43, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Its enough for me that you love me too Irpen. I suppose I must just accept the 3RR police will be arriving shortly, what is that expression "better to have loved and lived than...." something like that anyway. Bishonen will know she is very good on English literature. 22:48, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, you know I also needed help with English lately. Or at least I thought so and even asked another expert. I thought too much though, as the gibberish it was as it seemed at my first non-sophisticated sight. --Irpen 22:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I think it is Wordsworth - "Better to have lived and lost than never to have lived at all..." then he rambles on about dafofodils, I have never quite seen the connection myself, I've never been into poetry hugely. Giano 23:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Dude, don't escalate things. I saw Tony's original note, in it's original context, at the time, and my immediate thought was 'Tony's being a jerk again". Many wikieditors know what kind of guy Tony Sidaway is, so you don't need to do anything, he shows it himself. ThuranX 23:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

You are in fine mettle today, Giano. Revert warring on talk pages, name calling, crowing about ArbCom (I'm surprised the champagne hasn't been cracked open yet, or would that be in poor taste from an uninvolved observer?) You should take a step back, cool off, and write some content, because if you carry along this path you will likely find yourself blocked before too long. Rockpocket 23:35, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Bugger off Rockpocket! Giano 23:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
