Revision as of 15:03, 3 September 2009
Welcome!
Hello, Ratagonia, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Try our tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- Keep the Five Pillars of Misplaced Pages in mind, and remember to write from a neutral point of view.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~, or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~.
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask a question at the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome, and good luck!

Nice edits! :) --mav 16:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Pekmez
Can you have a look at pekmez and clean it up? Nice edits for Zile.Ugur Olgun 14:49, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Yvon Chouinard
Thought you'd like to know, that the WikiProject Climbing collaboration for the first half of December is Yvon Chouinard, which you've edited before. Please help improve the article to at least Good Article status. Thanks. ⇒ SWATJester 23:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome
Rat, thanks for the welcome to wiki on my talk page. I'm looking forward to contributing to the climbing related articles wherever I can!

In-line citations
Thanks Rat. Haven't figured out how to do this - where can I learn? Tell me here.
Please note that my external link was to the section of the Warren Report that deals with the history of presidential assassinations, with emphasis on Lincoln. Your ref. only goes to a discussion of the Warren Report with an internal link which doesn't do that. For some reason section 7 doesn't come up. (Later), well, I fixed it with a direct link to Appendix 7. ( JohnClarknew 05:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
I see you fixed it to work correctly, and I thank you for the instruction on my page JohnClarknew 15:26, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Snow-job on Scientology and Werner Erhard Article
Hello Ratagonia. Just got back on after having dealt with some especially horrendous personal business for a week. Thanks for bringing the point home on those three references. Yes, original research was NOT THE POINT!! Ftord1960 22:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Sherpa people fix
Many thanks for fixing my error at Sherpa people. No idea how I managed to re-introduce that. Kuru 23:05, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Ultralight Backpacking
Thanks for your edit to Ultralight backpacking, but I have reverted the edit you made and reverted the (fact) back to (jardine). Perhaps page numbers, as you suggest, is a good idea, but not essential, and my understanding is placing page numbers for each reference will completely overwhelm the References section with a single book as the reference - unless there is a better way to do I do not know about. Perhaps this is something that should be discussed on the talk page of the article. --Naturespace (talk) 02:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Wilderness Diarrhea Article Getting Killed
Hi Rat:
Dunno if you're active, but it seems remotely possible you'd be interested in this. Wilderness Diarrhea is getting merged into Travelers Diarrhea by a couple of zealots who seem to have no concept of outdoor interests.
I get around a lot in the outdoors and rarely treat water, but WD had some good stuff in int.
- After a couple of weeks of calm discussion, I went ballistic and no longer want to participate. Rational voices might help.

The instructions for the review process are here. Cirt (talk) 04:00, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
United States invasion of Panama
Hi, I wanted to talk to you about your edits on Operation Just Cause. As you can see, there was a discussion months ago in which we agreed to maintain a non-biased Point of View towards the results of the movilization. As you can see, we allowed US troops to remain on the nation, meaning that it was not an invasion. This is also on the article's Talk page in case you want to verify it. 201.218.86.201 (talk) 20:23, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Proposal for Mountaineering and Climbing Project
Hi, my name is Jarhed and I am an amateur rock climber and mountaineer. I recently reviewed some of the articles on these subjects, and I believe that they could use the attention of interested editors such as yourself. I have proposed a new project on these topics and I am interested in your opinion. You can find the proposal here: Mountaineering and Climbing Project Proposal. Thank you for your time, and have a great day.Jarhed (talk) 21:55, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Nice work!
Hey, nice work adding notable ascents and AAJ references to lots of articles. Thanks! -- Spireguy (talk) 02:14, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Do you really consider 5.9 to be 6a? Steple (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Book
I assume you mean you ordered Landmarks in the Landscape, not the sourcebook, which is more prosaic. You'll like Landmarks, although Kaiser could have a less academic writing style. His book on Adirondack-style architecture is a bit of a disappointment. Acroterion (talk) 00:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you, Acroterion. Yes, the Landmarks book which looks wonderful. My apologies if any vitriol was perceived in those exchanges. Ratagonia (talk) 01:00, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- None taken. There's a great deal of context to be gained by combining the stubs, but it's easier to start out with the stubs and combine if necessary, at least for me. Many of the virtues in the Park Service design of the 20s and 30s are found in the small-scale work, which was, taken as a whole, profoundly influential. The Landmarks book got me interested in the style. The Zion chapter's only about ten pages long, though. You might like to look at some of the HABS documentation for the Zion – Mount Carmel Highway, specifically this describing the tunnel construction; it's quite interesting once you've got it big enough to read on the screen. Acroterion (talk) 01:23, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I found that a few months ago. There is a good, small book out on the Tunnel which is fun, and alludes to an earlier, non-condensed book on the tunnel that I have not found yet. Tom. Ratagonia (talk) 01:50, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Accusation against you
Hi Ratagonia
Are you aware of this accusation against you: even though you don't seem to have edited on related topics in the last year or so. This looks like an attempt to condemn you without giving you an opportunity to defend yourself. DaveApter (talk) 15:03, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
