Awww Man, I don't know what to say TO. That is one of the nicest, coolest things I have ever seen. Thank you. I am truly honored and humbled by this. ;) — Ched :  ?  01:42, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Nah, don't be. You deserved it. I especially appreciated your exceptional copy-edit today. TechOutsider 02:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

That's the coolest barnstar I've yet seen :D — Huntster (t • @ • c) 03:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

That's the coolest barnstar that I've ever seen too! Royalbroil 03:34, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Yea, I gotta admit, I'm pretty flabergasted here. It does make being here very rewarding, to say the least. ;) — Ched :  ?  03:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

What did you think it was initially, judging from the thumbnail and the heading of my post? TechOutsider 16:15, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't sure, and clicked on the pic right away - then I just sat there stunned. Just totally amazed me. ;-) — Ched :  ?  19:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Ched, you deserve this

Hope you like it. Pedro thy master (talk • contribs) 16:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Why thank you Pedro, I really appreciate that. I'm always glad to help out where I can. Hope the article is going well, the last time I looked it had come a long way. I'll have to stop by and check it out again huh? Yep, I really like the Star, thanks buddy. ;) — Ched :  ?  21:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Keep up the good work Chedsky. You're doing a great job. ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:05, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Eh, I'd be happier with a few more blocks. Law _{type! snype?} 03:24, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I guess I could go get a 6-pack, drink that, and then block anyone who edits my friend's articles. :-O — Ched :  ?  03:31, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Ched let me ask oyu something

Ched if an artical about an album that has not been realesed yet but is in progress and has confirmed songs, dose it not deserve an artical. --Pedro thy master (talk) 02:53, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Who confirmed the songs? Is there significant coverage about the upcoming album, or is it just a single article? Misplaced Pages:Notability#General notability guideline summarizes notability guidelines. Specifically, what album, I can go check it out. TechOutsider 03:03, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

(ec) Normally I would say no, but there are times when it can work. If you read through:

• Misplaced Pages:TenPoundHammer's Law

it will give you a rough idea. Then take a look at:

• WP:NSONG

which is part of the Misplaced Pages:Notability (music) guideline - it will give you a good idea.

Basically, it can work ... but only if there are multiple reliable sources that are reporting it. If you're not sure, you can create the article in a sandbox, and work on it until it meets the guidelines - then move it to main space afterwards. If you need a hand creating a sandbox, just let me know what you want to call it, and I'll walk you through that. ;) — Ched :  ?  03:06, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure TechOutsider would be willing to help as well - he's more likely up on the current music than I am, and he knows how to create sandbox articles too. He's done a ton of work on the Michael Jackson stuff, so he probably has a better idea on what will and won't be accepted. — Ched :  ?  03:08, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Ched sorry for the trobule. --Pedro thy master (talk) 03:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Ched. --Pedro thy master (talk) 03:21, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Daddy Yankee, and the album Daddy Yankee Mundial.

Looks like TO is helping handle this one, drop me a note if you need anything. — Ched :  ?  19:19, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Ched thanks for telling me about TO, he really helped me there, thanks. =D. --Pedro thy master (talk) 20:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

And if your not to busy could you check out the Simmons family artical, --Pedro thy master (talk) 20:53, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Yep, TO is one of the good guys. Just remember, if he ever starts training for "admin", and goes to RfA - you have to support him ... lol. Anyway, I looked real quick now - I can see a few things that might help. I don't have time right this moment to do anything, but I'll try to help later tonight or tomorrow sometime. Do you want me to "fix" ... or just comment on the talk page? — Ched :  ?  21:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment, but if you want you can fix it if you want to, but take your time i now you must be busy, P.S dont worry i'll support TO if he decides to run for admin LOL =D. --Pedro thy master (talk) 22:30, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, about adminship, I don't think I have time for those maintenance tasks. I don't know Wiki-syntax that well, I don't know any kind of web-syntax that well, I don't know how to handle bots, most of my opinions at pretty much anything are pile-ons, etc. Hardly a good admin candidate. My goals have changed now. TechOutsider 01:40, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

It is rather an acquired taste, and not for everybody. ;) — Ched :  ?  03:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

August Posts

A first

If I had a nickel for every time someone's bowel movements were mentioned in an edit summary... Law _{type! snype?} 05:59, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

lmFao ... point taken. ... ahhhh ... I got nothin ;) — Ched :  ?  06:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

If you would have done an edit summary like that in your first week, you probably would have been promoted to Arbcom. Keep up the good work and please, continue with the mantra that "No matter what you do, incorporate Number Two." Law _{type! snype?} 06:20, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Civility discussion

I would very much appreciate your thoughts and considerations on User:Buster7/Incivility especially the sections from Safe Harbor down.--Buster7 (talk) 13:16, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I promise, I'll take a look here in the next day or two. I'm just not feeling particularly "civil" at the moment, so I'll hold my thoughts til I can be. — Ched :  ?  16:45, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

TB

re

whatever. — Ched :  ?  16:45, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

? ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Nothing that you're familiar with CoM. Something has got my shorts in a knot, and it's best that I don't speak about the matter until my emotions have dissipated. — Ched :  ?  21:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Really? Because it seems like something I'd really enjoy learning more about. I take great joy in the suffering of others. Hahahahaha. Sick I know. God help me. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:56, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

It would be rather unseemly and quite undignified for me to simply spout off with the first words that came to my mind. I'd think that in a day or two I'll be able to address the situation in a calm and rational manner. It's really not a big deal, but rather an "ego-bruise" that has already started to heal. It's honestly a very minor thing. I'm already feeling a tad guilty for my initial thoughts, but I suspect I'll be able to make my views known in a mature fashion shortly. ;) — Ched :  ?  00:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Ugh... I'm losing interest already. Too many big words and a diminishing of the glorious passion.

What is it the bad guy in Star Wars says? Let your hate out Luke, or something like that? Come on over to the Dark side Chedsky. It's all good here. :) No just kidding around. Sorry you're having a rough patch. Maybe you need a break and to leave the 'Pedia alone for a bit so you can mingle with all the crazies in real life. Then you can come back and visit with the crazies on here. Rinse and repeat. :) Is it hot where you are? It's lovely here. PEACE! ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:49, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, yes, but - as 7 of 9 once told Captain Janeway "Your passion will be your undoing". Come to think of it, I believe that Mr. Spock also said something similar to Dr. McCoy in TOS. ;) — Ched :  ?  02:14, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

RfA

I see there is a lack of RfA candidates at the moment and I know there's a constant fear that we may run out of admins at any moment. What do you think about nomming Drmies? He's a royal pain in the ass and a devoted communist, but he might make an okay admin. At some point S Marshall and Kelapstick should also be reconsidered (I haven't kept track of how long it's been since their previous attempts, but I guess a couple more months may be needed?). And Michael Q Schmidt deserves adminship, but maybe he's stepped on too many toes? I can't think of anyone more devoted to saving and improving articles and I have total confidence in his judgment and fairness in upholding policies and respecting other editors. But who knows how that approval process really works. Anyway, just a thought. I'd nom, but I think my involvement would tend to hurt a candidate's chances, particularly if I were the nom. Too much gamesmanship and grudge holding. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:28, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll take a look. I've never done a nom before. There's actually 2 other ones I've been thinking about; one that I think would breeze through it, and one that might be a bit controversial - but actually knows how to use the tools very well. I'll look through the contribs. over the next day or two, and see what I can come up with. — Ched :  ?  21:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

If you have people in mind do them. Best to go with what you know. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:53, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

One has said they will consider it at the end of the month, and Chzz is thinking about it. — Ched :  ?  21:56, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Look new artical

Ched I made a new page called User:Pedro thy master/NASCAR Champions could you check it out when you have time

Wow, that's quite a collection of information there Pedro. I am very flattered that you would go to so much trouble to show an interest in something that I enjoy. To be honest though, it actually wouldn't be a very good idea to move it out into article space, at least as it is. Several reasons come to mind: 1.) It is largely a collection of articles that we already have (NASCAR, List of NASCAR all-time cup winners, and many of the various divisions that make up NASCAR) 2.) Also, while several of our best articles (FA) do tend to be a bit lengthy, this one would be too long to qualify as a particularly good article. 3.) Primarily though, the main reason that it would likely be shot down would be because we already have "List of NASCAR champions". One reason we don't want to let articles get to be too long is that some people have older computers with older browsers - and pages that get too big can cause their computers to lock up, or not display the entire thing.

Now, I don't want you to be discouraged, I think it shows tremendous dedication, and obviously took a great deal of work to put together. In fact, I not only bookmarked the page, but I also saved it so that I can refer to it often as I work on NASCAR articles. I think you are doing a wonderful job at learning Misplaced Pages, and I can certainly see that you have already learned so much here. Even those folks that have been here for years, have become administrators, crats, or arbitrators often suggest things that don't work out. I honestly hope that I'm not discouraging you, I think you have great promise to be one of best contributors.

Thank you again for putting the page together, I really appreciate it, and I'll use it as a reference when I can. ;-) — Ched :  ?  23:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
