The Black Cross of St. Declan
You, Stbalbach, are awarded the Black Cross of St. Declan for going medieval on our asses with your excellent work on articles of Dark Ages and Middle Ages interest. De réir a chéile a thógtar na caisleáin - "It takes time to build castles" Ciarán of Clonmacnoise 06:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC) |
Category:Medieval clothing
Hi, I see you started this (if I got the name right). I have added a few stubby existing articles from Cat: History of clothing (Europe) or whatever its called, but am not sure if I should leave the Cat: Medieval history some some have, or replace it with this? Johnbod 15:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure either. Medieval historians usually call it "costume", but it looks like there is an existing naming structure for Misplaced Pages (if a bit verbose in wording). -- Stbalbach 14:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing. I think I'm basicly done now anyway. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 15:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Woodchuck, Internet Oracle and Nethack
Hi Stbalbach, I notice that you removed my contribution to the woodchuck article which read thusly:
- Because of the aforementioned tongue twister, the woodchuck is also widely known as the arch-nemesis of the fictional, collective-minded Internet Oracle. This fact is alluded to in the computer game NetHack where traveling on the Oracle Level while hallucinating may cause the following in-game message to appear:
- You hear someone say, "No more woodchucks!"
I cannot but concur that the part about NetHack violates WP:Notability, but I am not so sure about the Internet Oracle part (I definitely could cite sources, that one could definitely argue as lacking WP:Verifiability). Can we find a middle ground (hog)? DomQ 13:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Thousand million v. billion
I reverted the change, because, believe it or not, 'billion' in Britain refers to a million million, or what Americans call a 'trillion'. See Billion (disambiguation). Those crazy Brits ruined the language again... Ral315 (talk) 07:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Didn't know that. BTW are we sure that the 20,000 number is sustained, or represents a peak load? Normally hits are not given "on average per second" (which takes some effort to figure out), but rather "peak loads"(which can be seen on a graph) - but it may be in this case. -- Stbalbach 14:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

The next formal step is to file a report on WP:DRV. Once you have done so, I would be happy to comment. I am generally very open to reversing my decisions, especially when the result is controversial. Let me know once the listing has been made and I would be happy to contribute my views. Good luck and best regards, RyanGerbil10(Упражнение В!) 17:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
