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)

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)

Spiritual Beauty

I have reformed. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you

You did excellent work in resolving the 33451 situation, hopefully for good this time. Lately almost every time some new issue with him caught my attention, I found you or somebody else was already dealing with it. --Michael Snow 21:58, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, though it wasn't all down to me. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 14:34, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

That's just funny. -- user:zanimum

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)

beta Systemic Bias section

Hi, if you wish to help contribute to a beta version of a Misplaced Pages page section designed to counter-act Misplaced Pages's systematic bias, please sign the bottom of this section on the Village pump - Misplaced Pages:Village_pump#Systemic_bias_in_Wikipedia. If not, no worries.--Xed 03:24, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

move comment by User:Jarnsaxa from user page to talk page

How bizarre!!! Thank you for answering my question on Grunt's page. Looks like I have a very bored and immature co-worker :( I'm glad I created my own log in! --Jarnsaxa

Thank You

You have been extremely helpful. You have done your part to increase the spiritual beauty quotient. EDGE 14:48, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)

EDGE mixup

May I emphatically state once again that I did not knowingly eliminate a comment on the VfA page and that I left an apology on EDGE's talk page. The minor edit in question was the addition of another comment. - Lucky 6.9 15:52, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I realised that. (Well maybe I didn't at first but i do now) Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 16:12, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

LOL! Thanks. I've been trying to "fly under the radar" by staying out of this site's more contentious areas and I was worried that I'd aroused the ire of a sysop without meaning to. Damifino which comment I blanked, but what the hey. :^) Best, Lucky 6.9 22:46, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

For the official Wikirecord, I completely forgive Lucky and wish him or her a happy Halloween. May you all live in peace and beauty. EDGE 02:37, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

It's not halloween yet. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 08:20, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Talking Ballocks

I don't know if it should be with a sense of amusement or of abashedness that I confess that the first thing I thought of when confronted with "talking ballocks" was a Variety show act.... <g> - Nunh-huh 03:21, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
