Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:37, 5 January 2008

Welcome to my talk page! Please be sure to make all posts civil and constructive, as I'll revert anything I deem to be vandalism. Also, let us try to keep two-way conversations readable. If you post to my talk page, I will just reply here. If I posted recently to another talk page, including your talk page, then that means I have it on my watchlist and will just read responses there. I may refactor discussions to your talk page for the same reason. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles My Talk Archives: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the warm welcome you extended to me on Dec 15. You gave me a few resources, which I read, then I discovered your user page has many, many more! I'll come back and mine for gold from time to time.

I do have a question.... If someone like you offers help or an invitation on my user talk page, is it best to respond on my page, or to go to their page? If the latter, how will they know I've responded?

Clippership (talk) 17:45, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome and I hope you had a nice Christmas! I am also happy that my user page has proven helpful for someone. Anyway, to answer your question, that depends entirely on specific editors. I prefer to continue dialogues on one talk page, rather than going back and forth. Remember, you can add talk pages to your watchlist to see if anyone posted anything new in any given discussions. Again, though, others prefer to to post replies directly on someone else's page to be sure that his or her fellow editor did in fact receive the message. Also, some editors have enabled email, should you ever have a pressing message that you absolutely want to be sure the intended individual read.

Userboxes

Alright, there you go Le Grand, I added the two userboxes on the bottom of your list of userboxes. (care to sign my GuestBook, in my signature)--TrUcO9311 / _SiGn 21:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Sure, I would be happy to. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 21:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Navajo rug

Hi there, I've been raising this up from a three paragraph stub and it's looking pretty good so far. Would you like to help bring it up to GA? Cheers and best wishes, Durova 21:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'll check it out. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 21:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! You're a trooper. :) Durova 21:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. It does look pretty good already. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 21:30, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Ye Art Cordially Invited to the Annex

Hello, My good Fellow, listen and I shalt telleth Ye a Tale of a Wiki that well comes All Manner of Articles relating to Fiction. What is This wonderful Place of Fantasy, You ask? It is the Annex, Haven to All fiction-related Refugee Articles from Misplaced Pages.

Before nominating or proposing a fiction-related Article for Deletion, It is My sincerest Hope that Ye import It to the Annex. Why do This, You wonder? Individuals have dedicated an enormous Amount of Time to writing These Articles, and ’twould be a Pity for the Information to Vanish unto the Oblivion where only Administrators could see Them.

Here is a Step-by-Step Process of how to Bringeth Articles into the Annex:

1. Ye shall need at least three Browser Tabs or Windows open. For the first Tab or Window, go to Special:Export. For the second, go here. (If Ye have not an Account at Wikia, then create One.) Do whatever Ye want for the third.
2. Next, open the Program known as Notepad. If Ye haveth It not, then open WordPad. Go to “Save as,” and for “Encoding,” select either “Unicode” or “UTF-8.” For “Save as type,” select “All Files.” For “File name,” input “export.xml” and save It. Leave the Window open.
3. Next, go to the Special:Export Window at Misplaced Pages, and un-check the two small Boxes near the “Export” Button. Input the Name of the Misplaced Pages Article which Ye wish to import to the Annex into the large Field, and click “Export.”
4. Right-click on the Page full of Code which appears, and clicketh on “View Source” or “View Page Source” or any Option with similar Wording. A new Notepad Window called “index” or Something similar should appear. Press Ctrl+A to highlight All the Text then Ctrl+C to copy It. Close yon “index” Window, and go to the Notepad “export.xml” Window. Press Ctrl+V to pasteth the Text There, and then save It by pressing Ctrl+S.
5. Now go to the Special:Import Window over at the Annex. Clicketh on “Browse…” and select the “export.xml” File. At last, click on “Upload file,” and Thou art done, My Friend! However, if It says 100 Revisions be imported, Ye be not quite finished just yet. Go back to Misplaced Pages’s Special:Export, and leave only the “Include only the current revision, not the full history” Box checked. Export That, copy the Page Source, close the “index” Window, and go to the “export.xml” Window. Press Ctrl+A to highlight the Code all ready There, press “backspace” to erase It, and press Ctrl+V to pasteth the new Code There. Press Ctrl+S to save It, then upload once more to the Annex. Paste {{Misplaced Pages|{{PAGENAME}}}} at the Bottom of the imported Article at the Annex, and Ye art now finally done! Keepeth the “export.xml” File for future Use.

Thank Ye for using the Annex, My Friend — the Annex Hath Spoken 03:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the note! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 06:04, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a million

Thanks a million for signing my autograph book. What's up, G! Tech43 (talk) 06:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome and happy editing! :) Sincerley, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 06:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Hey can you help me create a userbox loosely based on one of yours? Tech43 (talk) 06:50, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome to use any userbox from my userpage. I unfortunately did not create those though and honestly do not yet know how to do so. If you go to Misplaced Pages:Userboxes, we have some more skilled technical editors who could probably help you with userbox creation.

Textile Arts newsletter

Happy New Year! WikiProject Textile Arts is starting 2008 by initiating a project newsletter. The project had 7 new articles at Template:Did you know in December and we hope to see more of you in 2008. Cheers, Durova 20:56, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy New Year to you as well! I hope my edits thus far to textile related articles have been helpful. With that project, the welcoming committee, the kindness campaign, the video game project, and the rescue project, I sure have my work cut out! Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 01:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

They've been very helpful, thank you. One of the things I hope we do in 2008 is get every top-priority article to B-class or better. Cheers, Durova 01:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I am happy to read that and hope we can encourage others to focus more on improving articles as well. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 01:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Mystery editor!

I am a user on Misplaced Pages, but who? Figure it out. (Hint: SIGN IT!). 98.161.53.217 (talk) 01:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I guess someone with a guestbook? Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 02:03, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

1 more hint: depression. 98.161.53.217 (talk) 02:06, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Technogreek43? Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 02:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Bingo! What's up! How do you like my vandal-reverting skills? 98.161.53.217 (talk) 02:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I urge you to log in under your regular account and edit that way, as others will frown upon a user also using an IP to edit in addition to a main account. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 02:27, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I have no plans, to ever be Technogreek43 again. In fact, after tonight, I may never edit wikipedia again. 02:30, 1 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.161.53.217 (talk)

Well, if you do consider to stick around or come back, a fun way to help is with this project. Saving articles is incredibly rewarding. Also, I believe you can change your username (there is a board somewhere for that) if you are concerned about your current username in a manner that would not result in the usual sockpuppetry accusations some throw about. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 02:34, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

happy Mango season

Thanks and same to you! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 05:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Note about Misplaced Pages:Give an article a chance

It's not a policy or guideline, so using it as a keep reason isn't helpful. From that page itself: It is not a policy or guideline, and editors are not obliged to follow it. Use an actual reason to keep things, instead of constantly using an essay that isn't a requirement to follow. As I know you will probably ignore this, I will be mentioning this in every AFD that has the essay used for keep. Also, the same exact thing applies for the "Don't destroy" essay that you also use for a keep reason. RobJ1981 (talk) 06:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah well Rob neither was Eyrian's old essay on pop culture. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Admin noticeboard

There's thread discussion "In popular culture" sections in articles there. Interested to take a look? Aditya 04:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'll look if I have some time. Thanks! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 05:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not exactly the most active person...

..over at WP:ICU, but just wanted to say welcome on behalf of them! :) Best regards, Rudget. 16:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 17:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Will you stop it

For god sake man you are deliberately following me on wikipedia and voting keep on every AFD I set up just because you are unhappy with my deletionism and you have different opinions, you are also doing this with Judgesurreal777 all because you don't want the AFD's to go our way, just knock it off and stop gaming the system with us, its not funny, its not professional and its not clever!.
