Welcome to my talk page. If you've come to complain, whine, moan, question my judgement, my intelligence, my sanity, or tell me off in anyway, that's fine. I'm a big girl who can take it.If you've come to chat, compliment me, have a laugh, or discuss articles that's even better.

WikiLove

Theresa, I've noticed that a lot of users have a Wikistress graphic, in the shape of a thermometer. I was thinking that an appropriate Wiki-love image to give to someone who's wikistress is very high might be a stylized ice cube, to help cool them. Any thoughts? func(talk) 17:39, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC) Yeah sound good although an ice cube is a bit of a dull shape. What about a snowflake or a cucumber (cool as a cucumber). Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 19:12, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Either a snowflake and/or a cucumber would be brilliant. :) func(talk) 19:27, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Well I'm not too good with cartoons - diagrams are my thing but this is what I've come up with so far. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 00:21, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It's great, Theresa. :) Mr. Cool! (or Ms. Cool). Maybe there should be a smile, though, as befitting WikiLove. :) func(talk) 12:45, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Do cool people smile? ever? I'll try my best though give me a few days. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 12:57, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

When they work with you on Misplaced Pages, they can't help but be happy and smile. func(talk) 13:12, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I have no idea who Magenta De Vine is, but her likeness as a cucumber is fantastic! :) func(talk) 23:07, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Those are great, but what if I'm as hot as a jalipeño? - Nunh-huh 23:54, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Now now people. Some of you are just going to have to learn how to draw yourselves, seeing as I've got a couple of real article diagrams I need to work on. You can start with my drawing tutorial at Misplaced Pages:How to draw a diagram with Microsoft Word note that most office software packages have some sort of rudimentary drawing tools and they all work in much the same way, so even if you don't have Micro$oft you can still follow the tutorial.

Well, I won't lobby for the less serious efforts, but sadly, absolutely nothing will ever teach me how to draw a jalipeño.... - Nunh-huh 05:34, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Try this. heh heh - as if you people don't waste enough time on wiki The Steve 09:12, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

"I'm hot for you"

Thanks Steve. That website is a lot of fun (I'd better not tell the kids about it or I'll never get them off the computer). To Nuh-huh here is a quick drawing I made by sticking a face made at the above website onto a clip art of a pepper. It's very easy. A child could do it!Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 10:14, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It is a cute web-site. Now I have to find a child to make it work (just kidding...). Of course, TK, it could be Chilly as a pepper<g>.... - Nunh-huh 22:23, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

While this article doesn't envolve sock puppets or fake bans it does envolve penieses peripeherally, so perhaps might be slightly on topic. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has had the paragraph about sexual abuse removed twice by differnt ISPs with the same edit summary. I think it may be an attempt to remove the info from the article. Have to leave be somewhere in ten minutes, I will explain further if nesecarry. Please add the page to your watch list, look into the matter and review my actions if nesecarry. -JCarriker 18:45, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)

OK I've added it to my watchlist, if the anon comes back I'll try to talk to him. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 22:14, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks.-JCarriker 05:36, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)

Foreskin restoration edits

Greetings. It is noted that you are involved with the editing of the Foreskin restoration article. Over the pass week or so this article has seen heightened activity in which you have been involved. The article is steadily generating into a POV defence of foreskin restoration. My question to you is simple. If you are not able to contribute to NPOV in the article why you do not simply recuse yourself and just walk away? - Friends of Robert 03:37, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Here you go again accusing me of POV pushing without any evidence.Which of my edits are a "POV defence of forskin restoration"?

this one? where I remove a "Foreskin restoration has beneficial emotional results" and replaced it with " Foreskin restoration has been reported as having beneficial emotional results"

Or is it this group of edits Where I removed " Cosmesis is dramatically improved by restoration" replaced "psycological aspects with "emotional aspects",removed the phrase " This article reflected a pro-circumcision cultural point of view" about the Prepuce Restoration Seekers, and added a quote from that paper?

My edits to that page have been to tone done the 'pro' arguments and NPOV the article. Did you even look at my edits to see what the were? Or did you just look at the history, see my name, and automatically assume I would be encoraging a pro POV. Please stop with the trolling now. I have no time for you. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 08:23, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Theresa suffice it to say that we are onto your game. Those who are aware the the issues which surround the circumcision debate know exactly your angle is. All you are doing is helping to take the rough edges off the anti-circumcision argument. It is patently obvious. You should recuse yourself from editing anti-circumcision posts and drop the pretence that you are striving valiantly against the onslaught from both pro and anti extremists to achieve NPOV. - Friends of Robert 04:45, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

You are beginning to sound more and more like Robert himself every day. If you really want to see what unchecked POV looks like, that is exactly what you would get if Theresa were to stop editing those articles. Robert would do better to count Theresa as being among his friends in ensuring a balanced approached to the issue. What is it about taking the rough edges off that leads you to believe there is a game? You seem to be arguing against the inclusion of any anti-circ arguments. Guess what: that would be POV. Do you know who would be even more interested in Theresa recusing herself? The anti-circ extremists. func(talk) 05:15, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- Knee jerk responses based on blind loyalty are not helpful. There is no doubt having read what Robert stated and what I have seen of Theresa's input that she is merely a "kinder, gentler" version of the anti-circumcision extremists. Her editing serves to provide a "vanilla" flavor to the anti-circumcision POV. Theresa's input is not helpful and cartainly does not contribute to NPOV. It is better for her to step aside and let anti-circumcision extremists just go ahead, then people will see the content for what it really is rather than the sugar coated pill Theresa seems keen to serve up. - Friends of Robert 05:25, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Robert (and you clearly are Robert) I will not step away from the articles. I will not allow allow anticirc extremists to put their own POV in the articles. I will not allow allow procirc extremists to put their POV in the articles either. The articles will reflect both POV's in a balanced way because that's what NPOV is all about. I'm sorry that you don't like it, but that's how it's going to be. Misplaced Pages is not a battleground for you and the anticirc mob to fight it out. You want to do that - go somewhere else. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 08:37, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Methinks thou doth protest too much! I have placed a challenge on the smegma talk page for you to come up with the answer as to where you got the lysozyme stuff from. It is quite clear you introduced anti-circumcision POV stuff, but it would be interesting to see what you say anyway. So Theresa what I am asking you is to stop the pretence of neutrality, recuse yourself and get busy elsewhere. - Friends of Robert 18:13, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

No. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 18:30, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Meaning you will not stop the pretence of neutrality? - Friends of Robert 01:28, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

You are very funny. I will not stop editing any articles. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 08:34, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Of course you will not. The best we can hope for is that you desist from continuing in pushing a POV agenda. We can but hope. - Friends of Robert 08:57, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Ridged Band

Hi, Theresa. I'm a new wiki participant here, just getting into it. I seem to have met with some editing opposition from Friends of Robert on the Ridged band article. He told me to come talk to you. Can you help us resolve the dispute over there? I want to start contributing new articles to Misplaced Pages, but I feel obliged to wrap up the loose ends over there. Also, if you have any tips about writing new articles, I'd really appreciate it. I'm working on one now regarding Mary Ann Glendon's "Rights Talk". It's a fascinating read. Anywho, thanks for reading. TrevorPerry 18:06, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Well I can't help resolve the dispute as such because Robert Brookes thinks I am a anticirc POV pusher hobbit who doesn't deserve to be an admin, and I very much doubt that he would let me mediate. His "go ask Theresa" was almost certainly a dig at me rather than a serious attempt to help you. What I can do however is play devil's advocate. Put your stuff in the article,ignore Robert's provocations, and I will go over it with a fine toothed comb. As for tips for writing new articles, everyone has their own style of doimg things. I personally like to get the information on the page. The more information the better. There always seems to be plenty of people willing to copyedit, so I don't worry too much about making the prose pretty at first, but that's just me, others do things differently. The most important thing to do is have fun! Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 18:58, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Lets just correct that shall we. Yes you are indeed a POV pusher and as an admin that is disgraceful. All you should do is recuse yourself from circumcision (or maybe closer to the point, foreskin orientated) articles. The fact that you can't says a whole lot about your mindset. Sad. - Friends of Robert 04:53, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It would greatly help your cause, Friends of Robert, if you would stop lying. Nicholas

My "cause" is that male circumcision is a perfectly acceptable parental decision as a result of religious, cultural or medical considerations. Now provide evidence of my lies. (Interesting note that Theresa is quiet about this personal attack. Perhaps she would like to comment why personal attacks on some are acceptable while others are not?) - Robert the Bruce 01:50, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks Theresa, you're a gem! I appreciate your help. TrevorPerry 21:34, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

TRECA

Hi Theresa -- I had contacted someone there by email a couple of weeks ago, so it's nice to see that something came of it!

And thanks for reverting my talk page :-)

Peace, BCorr|Брайен 15:10, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

You're more than welcome. It's Mr Treason who vandalised it. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 15:13, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

user talk:Mirv

I don't doubt that your intent is good, but I would appreciate it if you would not remove messages from my talk page. If whoever it is you're reverting there is discussing, he is at least not vandalising elsewhere; and while previous efforts to talk to him may have failed, hey, it can't hurt to try again. —No-One Jones 20:08, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Well OK but you should know that User:Mr Treason is currently under a hard ban for making death threats. He can't be blocked because he edits from AOL proxies, so reverting is the only option we have. When I see him about I just revert every edit he makes as do a number of other users, but I will refrain from reverting his talk on your user page in the future. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 20:30, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thank you. —No-One Jones 20:31, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

After reading his comments at Mirv's page, I think it is a near certainty that Mr. Treason is a kid. Previously, I had assumed a deranged adult, but it's hard to believe this to be the case after he expresses the willingness to join the Wiki Watch... whatever the heck it was called, after it was proved to be a child's invention. He's a smart kid, who knows how to correctly use words like "cabal", but it seems clear to me now that he is certainly a kid, and not merely a childish adult. func(talk) 21:04, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I still think of him as being an adult. Whatever his age is, he's certainly a nasty piece of work. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 14:34, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage!

Much appreciated. ] 20:44, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

No problem. I'm mass reverting Mr treason at the moment. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 20:45, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

TMS

I don't get this. Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome was going to get deleted, right? And now it's still there, right? And the Vfd notice has been removed, right? Somehow this went wrong - the votes clearly showed delete 19/11! JFW | T@lk

No we don't delete on a simple majority. We only delete on consensus. The exact definition of consensus varies but since am one of those people who passionately argue against allowing it to drop lower than two thirds I can hardly complain when a page I think should be deleted and it doesn't get consensus :-( So since the article is to be kept we'll just have to get rid of all the POV and self selecting polls etc.

Astrodynamics

Any interest in Astrodynamics? I haven't had as much time as I would like to invest in that article, so it has not been improving as quickly as I had hoped. (I have two brothers getting married in the space of three weeks, among other things. :-) I know you have an interest in at least some space-related articles. --P3d0 03:04, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)

What were you going to say about barium chloride?

Hi Theresa (The Torn Steak?). You tried to edit the Reference Desk just now, but it didn't work. At the same moment, I received an "edit conflict" warning while editing that page. The result was an empty page with your fingerprints all over it. I reverted the blanking, but your edit was lost. It looks as if there is a bug in the edit conflict software. It wasn't me, honest! --Heron 14:03, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC) Weired! Thanks for letting me know.

reflections

Hi Theresa (the Kant store/net stork heat/theta ork nest/hot netskater/not a trek, Seth!) -- I've changed the paragraph about the spherical shape of the soap bubbles and gravity and air resistance. I thought about the reflections for a while and realized that actually there's more wrong with the article than just the missing 180° phase jump. There aren't just two reflections but an infinite series, and the two alone wouldn't cancel out. As the angle of incidence increases, the reflectance of the interfaces increases, and the first reflection becomes much stronger than the second; it's only the long series of further reflections that cancels it out. I'll change the text accordingly; I wonder whether the diagrams should be changed, since in them the second reflection looks equal (and opposite) to the first, and the other reflections aren't shown at all. Note also my questions about the diagrams at Talk:Soap bubble.

By the way, you said you were going to blank User talk:Wik after Jimbo's message unless you'd forget :-)

Also by the way, I finally found a picture of you :-)

Fpahl 20:50, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

OK well let me read your changes and think on it. I think that rather than change the existing diagrams it might be better to add additional ones. That way the 'easier ones are still there for those people who find physics hard (bearing in mind that most people who read an article on soap bubbles are not especially likely to be up on optics). Anyway give me a few days to think on it some more.

I did forget to blank Wik's talk page :-( I've don it now though! Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 22:02, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi!

This is a message to let you know that there is now a UK-specific Misplaced Pages community page at Misplaced Pages:UK wikipedians' notice board. It would be great if you could come and get involved! -- Graham ☺ | Talk 22:46, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for coming and signing up to this page, I'm finding it very gratifying the number of people who think it's a good idea. By the way I discovered via the list of wikipedians by birthday on meta that we share the same birthday. Just thought I'd let you know. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 23:33, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I'm not a vandal

I don't understand what do you mean? How am I a vandal if a remove that porn picture? This is supposed to be an Encyolopedia--198 23:36, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

That picture has been on wikipedia for over a year. in that time there has been much debate as to whether we should have it. The consensus is that we should although it would be better to replace it with a high quality medical drawing or a better photo. Removing something that has been agreed by the community is vandalism. See the talk page of clitoris and comment there, by al means try to convert the community to your way of thinking (although I doubt you will find it easy) but do not remove it from the page unilaterly. Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 23:44, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Theresa do you have children of your own? Do you understand that there could be children on this website?? All right I left a comment on the talk page of "Clitoris", I don't understand much about this website and i'm from a Christian Fundamentalist back round; please try tolerate my behavior--198 00:01, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Yes two girls, yes children and adults find this site more and more informative as it gets better and better, I understand that you hold strong views on this sunbject but you have to understand that this site id edited cooperativly. I am happy to tolerate your opinions, what I will not tolerate is unilateral deletion of content. Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 00:08, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Well if these is supposed to be a community could we put this some how to a vote?--198 00:11, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It's already happened. Read all of the talk page. Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 00:13, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

interpretation of consensus

Hi Theresa -- from your remarks above about consensus and two-thirds majorities, I thought you might be interested in my post at Misplaced Pages:Votes for undeletion.

BTW, I added a colourful image to the soap bubble article :-) Fpahl 16:40, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi Theresa -- I was glad to see your comments -- the whole thing was taking a decidedly Kafkaesque turn -- I complain about being ignored by unargued one-liners, and I get lots of unargued one-liners in response...

Still, we seem to be in the minority. I'm wondering whether this is because we're in the minority on Misplaced Pages as a whole, or because a certain sort of people frequent VfD and VfU. You've been around much longer; perhaps you have more of a feel for this. If it's the latter, then I think we should propose a clarification of the guidelines in a different, more representative forum. (Which one might be appropriate?) I've never seen "consensus" taken to mean a two-thirds majority anywhere else; it took me a while to figure out that that's how Graham uses the word. It's definitely not what the article on consensus says it means. Either the "consensus" part or the "two-thirds majority" part has to go. Or, since people were arguing from the 'V' in the name, perhaps we should propose renaming it in "Arguments for Deletion" or "Discussions about Deletion" or some such. But of course the naming secondary -- first I think it's important to find out whether the community as a whole thinks that that's what it should be for, or whether most people are happy with this "dictatorship of the majority" idea. I think it's completely contrary to what Misplaced Pages is about. Fpahl 08:24, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Sexual intercourse and other circ-related personal attacks

I'm at my wits' end in terms of dealing with these folks. Expressing opinions (especially on a topic that's intrinsically very emotional for some) is one thing. The kinds of personal attacks that seem to be coming from some in the anti-circ crowd is another - and I don't know what to do short of filing a mass request for comment. Pakaran . 13:39, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I know. Some of them are a bloody pain in the arse! It's not just the anti circ mob either. Robert Brookes aka friends of Robert aka Robert the Bruce has also made a fair number of them. But i don't think a mass request for comment is fair. Gather evidence and file a request for comment on each individual problem user. A mass request for mediation might work though as they seem to know each other. Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 13:51, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

RfA

Hm, well I'm not sure I read the situation just as you do. If the nominator is who I half-suspect, or even not, it's likely from where he sits that it's not obvious what nominations will crash and burn. Indeed, SS is not doing half-bad at some 60%. My vague impression is that he scans stats pages for overlooked big contributors and may be unaware of attendant controversies, although in nominating me he seemed to know a bit more. I also know what you mean about RfA brutality and oppose votes; I at times consider proposing a rule that opposition must be justified, as this is the norm in consensus-based systems (this I know from my days as manager of a housing co-op run on consensus, where further it would fall to one to make a counteroffer), although I'm far too exhausted to re-venture into the world of Misplaced Pages policy. But a good half of my opposers seemed out to settle a score rather than pondering the merits of the actual issue. Any fool can dream up a reason, of course, but it's a starting point. Oh and thanks for noting the E-mail issue; it had simply never come to my attention before, and is remedied (which is not to say I have an opinion on whether discretion is really needed here). Very Verily 10:30, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

No I think making people state a reason will worsen the personal attacks. "The reason I oppose the candidate is because they are a vile vat of stinking pus" I don't know what to do about rudeness. Perhaps I should start pulling people up on it. If we all did that it might have an effect. I dont know though. I'd probably just get the guilty ones pissed at me.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I'm envious of all the anagrams your name allows...have been following the history of your signature with quite some amusement for a while now :) Unfortunately, the only possible anagram for my real name seems to be Schwanzvers, which is oddly appropriate for my usual mode of conversation if you understand German :p -- Ferkelparade π 23:43, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It roughly translates to dick verse (Schwanz is a double entendre in German, literally means tail, but is colloquially used for penis :p ). By the way, I love your tits. Give them a hug from me :) -- Ferkelparade π 23:17, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Reflexology Image

Hallo: Where did you get the "Reflexology" Hand-Zone-Map from? I would like to use it in the German Version, but knowing the source (Copyright issues ...). - Thanks Next2u 15:32, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I take it you mean foot zone map becauses there isn't a hand zone map on the page. It was drawn by a relexology student called Jimmy Hello 80jimmylouie, welcome to Misplaced Pages! I hope you have a lot of fun here. There are lots of resources around to help guide you. be sure to check out:

Don't be afraid of making the odd mistake, there are any number of others eagerly waiting for a chance to correct it!

Foot chart

Nice job sorting it out! I would have done it myself only I was really short of time last night.The reaon it's better this way is twofold. The first is because the character you used is not part of the satandard font set so some computers may not display it (my computer at home didn't display it). The second is that by putting it in a table we can align the key next to the picture. Which I have done now.

I've also taken the liberty of scaling down the picture for the actual reflexology page. This is to make it less dominating of the article. Normally we like to keep pics < 300 pixels wide. I've added a link to the larger version so that readers can see it if they want to. theresa knott 11:14, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I have some questions about this image you uploaded, and have sought input from the people at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Ancient Egypt. Just letting you know, and inviting your input. - Smerdis of Tlön 19:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC).

"Cross-Dresser" article

Greetings.

This concerns the "Cross-Dresser" article, which says it's "protected".

I'm a historian who would like to make needed changes to a few portions of that page in the interest of historical accuracy. I've posted a note (which is finally now formatted correctly) outlining why changes need to be made - please see the 'Talk' page for the article in question, and look for the comment added by myself (Allen Williamson) under the Joan of Arc section - http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Cross-dresser

If you would un-protect the page, I could make the needed changes to it.

Regards, Allen Williamson
