userpage discussions

Hi, I see you left a note with Jvian already about your userpage. I left both of them a note and moved their discussions to their talk pages. I left the one that you left originally, just rv'd the two latest ones. They were moved to User talk:Jvian & User talk:Eduardo Cuellar respectively. I just wanted to give you a heads up on what I did. Cheers. ∞Who?¿? 08:33, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

my userpage

Actually, it was a "friendly vandal" who came through and tweaked the layout. It's always looked fine on my screen! :-) I'm not up for going around and doing rigorous testing on different setups, so I suppose I should simplify it. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Nomen nudum

You marked nomen nudum for speedy deletion. But the article was in fact quite correct. Please take more care. Gdr 15:37:18, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

At the time, it was patent nonsense. ‡ Jarlaxle 20:17, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

No, it wasn't. The revision you marked for speedy deletion was quite correct, as a simple Google search would have told you. Gdr 21:42:33, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

Oops. My mistake. ‡ Jarlaxle 21:50, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the Welcome

I don't need to say anything else ... nice to be welcomed, thank you. WP can be a place of overwhelming "cliqueness", where sensible edits are instantly removed by "members" for no legitimate reason other than the poster is not a member. I will work to change that, and my undesireable activities will cease shortly, once I have had enough fun with certain members.

Thanks again. oops --Zippydeedoodah 22:15, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Dambrath

Thank you for the modifications on Dambrath :-) Reply to David Latapie 11:32, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

No problem. ‡ Jarlaxle 17:48, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Problems with font

Hi there, I saw your complaint on the am.wiki, I haven't actually tried the solution on that page so I can't vouch for that one, but there is another solution you can link to from the Main Page, just look for the English words "Can't see the font?" and try that method...

If that doesn't work, it could be a Unicode issue with your windows or browser system...

Ah, thanks. ‡ Jarlaxle 23:42, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

Sandbot malfunction

That was caused by a page move. Please be aware that Sandbot is a valid bot, and any concerns over hiccups and such should be directed to my user talk page. Thank you. --AllyUnion (talk) 23:10, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

About translating

Hello, you welcomed me the other day and I thank you.

But I have a question about style in the Misplaced Pages and I didn't found in the Manual of Style, and I don't know where to ask someone else, so you are the one closest.

Right now I'm working on a project to have info about bands from Latin America in the Misplaced Pages, but I don't know where I should translate and where not, can you explain me?

Should I translate the name of the band? I saw some bands with their names translated, but I also saw others without it translated.

Should I translate the name of the albums and songs of the band? I haven't seen any bands with this translated, but in the articles I made I translated them.

Thank you very much and sorry for bothering, and sorry for forgeting about signing my message. --Nicanor5 23:18, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

New and improved

From my talk page:

Lord Voldemort How's that for a signature? ‡ Jarlaxle 19:41, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

It's not too bad, except I like having a bigger link for my talk page. I'll stick with what I have for the time being, but may opt for something more like your suggestion in the future. Cheers. --Lord Voldemort 19:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Tasks at hand

Jarlaxle:

As part of your unbanning and probationary agreement, this is the list of tasks that you are to complete.

• Partner with a mentor from Mediation/Mentorship
• A formal apology given to Linuxbeak, Psychonaut, Anthere, NicholasT and anyone else who you may have caused harm
• Repair any damage caused by acts of sockpuppetry/impersonation on other Wikis - Specifically, Encyclopedia Dramatica.
• A probationary period for as long as your defunct ArbCom case originally had set as the penal period (one year)

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 06:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Is it stipulated that these tasks are to be completed before JarlaxleArtemis begins to edit articles and other Misplaced Pages pages? If not, how long does he have to complete these tasks before he is considered to be in violation of his probationary agreement? And how will the mentors/administrators determine whether he has, in fact, identified all sockpuppet and impersonation accounts? Will IP checks be run on accounts suspected of being controlled by him? —Psychonaut 23:30, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Mentorship

Hi Jarlaxle,

As part of our unbanning agreement, you have been assigned to mentorship. Please see WP:MENTCOM. Thanks, Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 01:38, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Welcome back

Jarlaxle, I just want to say welcome back. I'm glad your ban has been lifted, and I hope everything works out well. Regards, Ann Heneghan 22:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Greetings from the United Federation of Planets

Hi, I am one of your mentors. Since you also think "Paramount are a bunch of a****** to cancel Star Trek: Enterprise", I think we can get along well. You know how to contact me :) --Cool Cat 23:41, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello there, buddy!

Hello there, it's Spum here. I've been assigned to you as a mentor, so if you need any help, feel free to message me either on IRC, Jabber, or the WikiPedia. As part of your mentorship i am here to make sure you're not up to your old tricks, whilst at the same time, i'm here to welcome you back to the wikipedia and I sincerely hope that you will be able to go back to making contributions , and become a part of the community.

Hey, we all make mistakes, it's how we correct hose mistakes when we're given a second chance that matters! So, enjoy yourself, and hope to see some good contributions as before from you.

Regards, Spum

Recent edits' formatting

I realize you've been gone a while: in the interim, there is consensus on the "External Links" vs. "External links" (that's why Bluebot is allowed to go around fixing them); specifically, it's been decided (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28headings%29#Standard_headings_and_ordering) that "External links" will exclusively be used. --Maru (talk) Contribs 05:17, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I see. I'm disappointed by that consensus. Except for articles ( ie. the), conjunctions, prepositions, and possibly some other word categories, the words in headings are supposed to be capitalized. <font color="black">&rArr;</font> <font face="Euclid Fraktur"> <font color="darkgreen">Jarlaxle</font><font color="goldenrod">Artemis</font></font> 05:23, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

... You might want to look at the capitalization section, then. --Maru (talk) Contribs 05:26, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

We need to talk.

Hi Jarlaxle,

We need to talk, preferably over AIM. Some sockpuppets from your area are turning up and they are still being disruptive. I do not think you would be so daft as to continue with your previous activities, but I want to make sure. Some members of the ArbCom have expressed some skepticism in your return, and I do not want them to think that these socks are of your own doing. I'm sorry that I have to keep a check on you like this, but I'm sure you can understand my frustration.

Take care, and don't forget your assignments.

Regards, Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 21:32, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Not a hoax

Would you believe that Neuva Germania is actually not a hoax? Check out ]. Ifnord 22:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Interesting. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:23, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Unbanning requirements

Hello, Jarlaxle.

I previously mentioned that I wouldn't give you any specific timescale on your unbanning, however, it has been a while since you were unbanned. As such, I am now giving you an assignment. The written apology that you agreed to as part of your unbanning will be due no later than December 15th at 00:00 UTC. A late submission will be allowed, but you will be banned from editing starting at December 15th with the exception of your user space.

Thank you for your cooperation. So far you have proven to be under control. Alex Schenck (that's Linuxbeak to you) 02:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Forgotten Realms Project

Hi,

We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.

The goal is to create a sort of World Factbook for the Realms. This means:

• A consistent content
• Use of templates
• Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the Western Highlands.

On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as Pelvuria or Imaskar and, of course, Netheril

• The project is located here
• The Geographical index of Toril is a good start to get a visual of had been done, as well as the Halruaa entry.

Main contributors are presently

• David Latapie
• Poulsen

Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! Reply to David Latapie 12:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Phobias

Please read the -phobia article carefully and don't add phobias about whoch there is nothing specific to say beyond dictionary definition. Please add them to wiktionary. You may want to expand the wiktionary:Category:Phobias, startind from categorizing phobias fromwiktionary:User:TheDaveRoss/phobias.

You may also want to read Talk:-phobia#There isn't a single thing someone hasn't a phobia about and other discussion. mikka (t) 02:19, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Once again: as with any other lists in wikipedia, like List of websites, Internet phenomenon, etc., to list something, you must prove its notability. The -phobia article spells it. Please don't pump coinages that don't have significant usage. Note: references from snake oil psycho websites don't count. They collect everything that floats on net. mikka (t) 06:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

You wrote: there is plenty of dicdefs, and several more will not hurt. Well. I am working carefully weeding out bullshit from the page. Ideally all from the bottom list must either go or move up, into solid section. But I am realistic and dont' delete everything just because they don't have articles yet. Most of what's left are common phobias with chance to have an article. Please, don't add helpless terms that cannot go beyond dicdef. mikka (t) 06:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Image tags

When are you going to cleanup your image tags? I've been asking you about this for a year now. Unless I hear from you I'm going to start marking them for deletion. -Willmcw 02:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I never realized that my image tags were dirty. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 03:13, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, they are naughty and incorrect. We've lready been over the problems many times, so I assume you know what to do. Thakns for helping out. -Willmcw 06:38, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Just to chime in, the main problem I see is lack of source, and under current rules that forces deletion in seven days. You may notice that some of the images in your gallery have already been deleted, so the process is underway. Stan 18:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

-phobia

"Listed in a textbook": ...and in a hundred of other places. Good luck for them there. Wiktionary is the place for them. mikka (t) 01:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Userbox

Which one? I've made a few different ones. If you mean the most recent, more power to you. Rogue 9 06:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

That's what I thought. Just made it because I was about two seconds from flaming TheCoffee with the very fires of Hell a couple minutes ago. Restrained myself for the sole reason that he's an admin on a power abuse spree and I don't care to push quite that hard. Rogue 9 06:07, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Don't mean to pry, but I can't help but notice that you aren't using the template.  ;) Rogue 9 01:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Happy holidays!

Deckiller 03:20, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Question...

So I like what you did with the twinkle article. I hjust wonder if it is worth having almost indentical info there as in the drizzt main article...

Jabencarsey 05:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I decided to redirect it right before you posted this message here. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 05:58, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

truncated usernames

The usernames at Special:Ipblocklist are truncated. You want the ones at Special:Log/block. -- Curps 06:31, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Chultan Peninsula

Hi, the move from Chultan peninsula -> Chultan Peninsula created a few double redirects which should be fixed, please see Misplaced Pages:double redirects. Poulsen 03:38, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

?

I've just deleted your recent redirects, which were displayed as a standalone question mark character. Please review Talk: for my reasoning. -- Longhair 06:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I see you're again creating these redirects. Help me as I'm still mis-understanding here. If the characters you're adding redirecting to Tengwar can't be entered on a standard keyboard, what value do they hold here? Who's going to enter them directly, or create a link, if they can't be typed? -- Longhair 01:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Beats me. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 01:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Isn't that a perfect case for deletion then, if they'll never be used? -- Longhair 02:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I never said they won't be used; I just don't know who will use them. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:02, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Can you tell me how I can use them? What needs to be installed to do so? It seem you're able to enter them ok. I'm not against them, I'm just trying to see the logic in adding them. -- Longhair 02:05, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

There's info and a download for the Unicode version here. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 02:09, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for that catch of my mistake, I've corrected it. --Krich (talk) 07:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

There is no real need to italicise "Misplaced Pages" and "Misplaced Pages Watch". NSLE _(T+C+CVU) 03:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

They are the names of websites. It's like italicizing Google Watch, which is done in the first paragraph of the article. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis
