Hello James, I know we haven't spoken for ages, it was cool back in archive 8 where we discussed things like two ordinary editors. The good old days. I've been doing a LOT of thinking, trying to work out why I can't get you to talk to me about anything at all, and I came to a conclusion while cooking dinner that my ], putting myself in your shoes, has been woefully inadequate. I know you have been busy, and I should have been looking into that, rather than trying to find reasons for your not having time to talk to me or other editors (like the revert that led to other editors being frustrated and warring within hours ) it was stuff that I just couldn't figure out properly. Until now. When I look into your daily schedule, I feel like the southbound end of a northbound Donkey. Actually, that doesn't cut it, screw policy, I feel like a fucking idiot right about now. I've been far too obsessed with editing bits and pieces on an article that doesn't matter out in the real world where hundreds of thousands of real people are dying in Africa right now. Plus, when I think of what you've been doing, and what the team working on me has been doing, my God I feel so ashamed. The thing that makes me feel like crap is getting in the way of an ambulance or a doctor or a fireman, (I still don't give a crap about cops after what I've seen btw, plus I have to keep my mind away from the politics of your employer). A simple, or complex, or penyulap-sized apology wouldn't cut it right now at all. I regret not seeing things from your situation. I regret not having enough empathy. I just wanted to get a fraction of that off my chest, and regardless of whether or not we can ever get back to sharing ideas about the article ( I don't care honestly, you have much more important things to get done, that should be your top priority ), I'd like to state and declare I'll never bring any action against you here on wiki regardless of what you do. The last thing you need on your mind when you are trying to help people to live better is a fucking idiot causing more stress for you. So I won't. End of story. (though not because your an admin, but because of your chosen profession) <span style="text-shadow:#c5C3e3 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em; class=texhtml">]</span><sub>]</sub> 12:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

International Space Station

Hi James !

I've been trying to get assistance to help me and Ckatz get along better, and I've tried opening an arbitration case as a kind of last resort sort of thing. The case isn't about you, but it does mention you in passing, so I'd like to make you aware of it, on the basis that it mentions you, and I hate talking about people behind their back. :D

It's here

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests#International Space Station Penyulap talk 18:02, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Here is another place you are mentioned in passing,..

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:ANI#Misplaced Pages:Randy_in_Boise_problem_on_the_ISS_page

But that one is about a problem concerning two other editors, not you or I.

Penyulap talk 19:02, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

I have nominated International Space Station for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.

Hi James ! I hope your exams went well ! Hope you still have some energy left from celebrating.

I've put the ISS up for review, to help jump start it's stagnating progress. Anyhow, I expect the process will go properly, that is, no delisting, but rather some actual improvements that nobody has been willing to discuss constructively so far. Penyulap talk 16:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

FA on space debris?

I was pointed to your page from the FA discussion area, they suggested I contact you for help. I'm trying to bring space debris to FA, but it got quick-closed, and a re-opened PR did the same (although that might be a bug). Is this something you might be able to help with?

A kitten for you!

Great work on the ISS article. You really made it all come together.

Why, thank you! I shall call her MECO! :-D Colds7ream (talk) 17:10, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Mir

Just a heads-up, I linked all of the Encyclopedia Astronautica (astronautix) references in the Mir article to archived web pages via the Wayback Machine and fixed a few typos along the way to aid in the effort to bring the article up to FA status. I will update the peer review accordingly. Tyrol5 20:59, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks very much indeed! :-) I don't suppose you'd fancy having a deadlink trawl over at International Space Station, would you? Colds7ream (talk) 16:21, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
More than happy to; I will take a look shortly. Tyrol5 16:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 Done The links should be fine now. Tyrol5 17:05, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Marvellous! You're a gentleman and a scholar, sir! :-D Colds7ream (talk) 17:08, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
