Revision as of 21:11, 26 January 2013

In response to your feedback

Have a look at peer review. It looks good so far but could use some expansion.

Question

Obviously not a newbie, do you have another account or are you a returning user? Facts, not fiction (talk) 18:51, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Whie I appreciate the complement inherent in that remark, I assure you that I am, in fact, a newbie. I have no other accounts, and I am not a returning user. My edit summaries should accurately reflect what I have done (so far) in Misplaced Pages, minus a few minor edits (fixing typos and the like), which I did under my IP address, which I will provide if requested.

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:06, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Adoption?

I saw you had the adoption userbox and was wondering if you'd be interested in being adopted. I've never done it before, but have helped extensively at the Teahouse, so I have a working knowledge of helping new users. Let me know. Thanks! Go Phightins! 03:47, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		Award of First Success
		You've passed the first lesson with flying colors. I have no doubt you'll do great in this adoption course! Here's a barnstar for your efforts. Go Phightins! 20:48, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

"Puppy Mills" is a biased article, and I removed all biased content.

If you or anyone else wishes to have me banned for doing this. Be my guest. It will just further my outspoken view on how biased Misplaced Pages is, and forever will be, because you won't allow anyone to go through the trouble to remove biased content, I am restoring my changes. 74.211.94.135 (talk) 01:42, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Let me first and foremost agree with you on one point. The article, Puppy mill, does contain issues with its neutrality. Misplaced Pages's policy concerning biases and neutrality can be found here. However, removing large portions of a well-sourced article is not considered constructive. First and foremost, the thing that you need to do is stay cool, and read this. Then, if you still think that the article has a problem, you need to propose changes to it on its talk page. I appreciate your concern with the article. Nobody is trying to get you banned. We have no vendetta against you or any editor. We are simply trying to discuss the content, not the contributor. Cheers-Tazerdadog (talk) 02:20, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Your Arbitration Committee Election Vote

Hello Tazerdadog,

You recently voted in the Arbitration Committee Elections. In accordance to the Request for comment on the election process, you must have made 150 edits in the main article space of Misplaced Pages before November 1st in order to be eligible to vote. According to a recent count, you did not meet that criterion. If you believe we are in error, or there are other circumstances, such as a number of edits across multiple accounts, please let us know. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:33, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Oops, missed that requirement. Thanks for the heads up, and you are right.

WP:TFAR

I reverted your post on the talk page because it was so malformed it was impossible to see what you were suggesting should be done. Please feel free to try again, but without perhaps transcluding the whole of the instructions page and disabling the table of contents... Bencherlite 00:06, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

hmmmm...it was working ok in my sandbox... I will try to post a more limited version...

Tazerdadog (talk) 00:08, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

OK, That still has little formatting issues, but is at least understandable now. If you can fix them, please do so...

Pork Pie

Tazerdadog has given you a Pork pie. Pork pies are full of meaty goodness, and are wonderfully delicious! On Misplaced Pages, they promote love and sincerity. Hopefully, this one has made your day happier.

Spread the goodness and sincerity of pork pies by adding {{subst:Pork Pie}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message! Give one to someone you've had disagreements with in the past, or to a good friend.

Billed to Go Phighitns! for finding his final exam early. I was looking for the wikilove food item "beluga caviar with black truffles on a bed of saffron" but apparently that doesn't exist

Tazerdadog (talk) 03:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Haha. Filet Mignon would've sufficed, as long as you got one for me too :p Go Phightins! 04:17, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Merry Christmas

Tazerdadog, I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I also wanted to tell you that despite the fact you're adoption final is supposed to be due during Christmas, because I'm the friendly, caring, and understanding person I am (cue laugh track here) I don't plan on looking at it until Wednesday. In all seriousness, I hope you and your family have a tremendous holiday season. Go Phightins! 03:03, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Well it's more or less ready now, although I still might want to do the Extra Credit. I still can't think of a good thing that needs a photograph... If you want to start grading it now, feel free. Tazerdadog (talk) 06:20, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Without being too specific, where do you live again? Go Phightins! 13:31, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Mountain time zone, New mexico. I am 2 hours behind you. (I was up late when I posted that...)Tazerdadog (talk) 02:35, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

You know how you could have been my hero? If you'd attended the 2012 New Mexico Bowl and taken a picture that I could've added to the infobox. Thanks for the ping on my talk page, I have been derelicting my duties there. Go Phightins! 04:09, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Meh, I live an hour away, and that wasn't even the best game of the night(or so I thought before it was played)... UNM played NMSU in the pit later that night. Tazerdadog (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't think I'll get to your test tonight, but I promise I'll give it a go in the next two days. Go Phightins! 03:34, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks!Tazerdadog (talk) 03:36, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

FYI

I don't know if you saw, but I graded your test. Go Phightins! 04:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! I'll have a look.Tazerdadog (talk) 04:25, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Feel free to dispute, complain, discuss, etc., but note that I am exhausted and have a nagging cold, so I'm headed to bed. Therefore, my replies won't come until tomorrow. Go Phightins! 04:30, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Ok, although it seemed fair overall. Content contributions is almost certainly not going to be where I am active, so the cleanup is less concerning for me...Tazerdadog (talk) 04:47, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Graduation

		The Adoptee Graduation Diploma
		Well Tazerdadog, I think you've effectively taken advantage of everything I have to offer you (at least at the moment, I'm still pondering some of your suggestions). You have a bright future on Misplaced Pages as you're a quick-study in all of those policies. I would be interested to here about your future goals/plans on Misplaced Pages. If you need any help with anything, I'm always at my talk page (or email, if you'd prefer). As my first adoptee, you exceeded any expectations I had, and made me interested in adopting more users. If you yourself ever wanted to adopt, feel free to use anything from my course (much of which is stolen from Worm) and let me know if you need any help. For now, have a tremendous New Year (it's 2013 where I am two hours before you so HA! ) and go out and change the world on Misplaced Pages! Your adopter, Go Phightins! 16:00, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! I think I will look at contributing by translating science articles to simple, and contributing to wikidata. That should be interesting once it gets off of the ground. I might try to adopt, but I don't think I have enough experience to try it yet. I would like to help you out with your adoption course, whether it's writing the lessons I suggested, or helping to get tests results, and lessons posted in a timely manner, or whatever it may be.

Your adoptee, Tazerdadog (talk) 19:46, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Great! For starters, you are welcome to post tests once requested by adoptees in case I'm not around for whatever reason. If you'd like to write a few lessons, go ahead and do so in your sandbox, and we can collaborate on them. Go Phightins! 20:46, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

OK, sounds good, and I will keep that in mind...
