DYK
It's verified and ready to go. The infobox needs to be filled out a bit though. I'm sure 1935 is the correct date even though it's been changed since then.
Anyway this was in Misplaced Pages:Village pump (idea lab)/Archive 1:

- LOL!
- Actually 1941 is the correct date - the seal was created in 1940 and first used in January 1941. -- ChrisO (talk) 21:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm afraid the character count is still not okay, can you add some more to make it ready for DYK? --Pgallert (talk) 07:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- While I'm not sure that this pc language adds much, this piece of vanity publishing at least indicates the spread of sealgate. Perhaps not worth adding, good luck with the more academic and historical research. . . dave souza, talk 18:13, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

| I know we've argued sometimes in the past, but I have to congratulate you on your integrity. Jimbo's comments on T:TDYK, I feel, were anathema to the entire point of this wiki, and are, to me, tantamount to allowing the government to needlessly interfere with the running of the encyclopedia. We need more editors to not bow to such pressures. Sceptre 02:38, 11 August 2010 (UTC) |
- Chris, I'm afraid I have to take an opposite position. I've probably agreed with you more than not on most other issues. I agree that the FBI's position was asinine. But a DYK on this article smacks of retaliation for the FBI complaint. I just think it's a bad move and I really hope that you'll reconsider and withdraw the DYK nomination. ScottyBerg (talk) 13:45, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- As I said on Jimbo's page, I think your compromise proposal is a very good one. Thanks for your flexibility on this. ScottyBerg (talk) 17:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
DYK for Attorney General of Virginia's climate science investigation
 | On 11 August, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Attorney General of Virginia's climate science investigation, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

- Nice article. Well done. Kittybrewster ☎ 15:22, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Your comment at JW's talk page
Concerning your comment at Jimbo Wales' talk page, I refer you to Dick Cheney's exchange with Patrick Leahy in the Senate on June 22, 2004. -- ChrisO (talk) 17:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have no idea what you are no about, I am a neutral and care less apart from the wikipedia. Off2riorob (talk) 17:34, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Come off it, you've been following me around for some time. -- ChrisO (talk) 17:37, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have not, I do my thing to protect living people and to support the wikipedia foundation as I see fit and am able, if you bounce off me because of that then lets try to contribute something together. Off2riorob (talk) 17:41, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Global Warning skepticism
You put the deletion discussion on the wrong place. It's supposed to go on the daily log, not inside another discussion. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 17:07, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, my bad. Thanks for fixing it! -- ChrisO (talk) 17:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Scottish Review of Books
I'm afraid your recent edit to the reliable sources noticeboard concerning the Scottish Review of Books deleted a number of posts, which I've restored. I've also answered your question about which Alastair McIntosh wrote that review. -- ChrisO (talk) 16:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry about that - and thanks for fixing it. Must have been a copy-and-paste error after the edit conflict, though I can't quite see how I managed to do it. Barnabypage (talk) 16:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
4 reverts on Michael Mann
A less confrontational attitude from all concerned would be helpful. The first one to cease name-calling and aggressive comments ("silly," "knock it off" etc.) is the winner. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 00:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps I should just ban these people from my talk page. In fact, let's do it. ATren, Marknutley, Minor4th and the rest of the crew are hereby banned from this talk page and any edits they make will be reverted on sight. I've deleted all existing edits from them (would that this was possible Misplaced Pages-wide!). Problem solved. -- ChrisO (talk) 00:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- That's probably not a textbook definition of 'less confrontational', but it can't help. Just remember to keep the edit summaries polite. Guettarda (talk) 00:33, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- It can't help? -- ChrisO (talk) 00:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Freudian slip? Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 00:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Probably. :-) -- ChrisO (talk) 00:41, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hurt. :) Got the first letter right. Got the number of letters correct. So I got the meaning completely wrong. Do you expect me to be perfect or something? Guettarda (talk) 01:18, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. You just asked that blocked user why he maliciously reported me on SPI. Don't bother, he does that because he thinks it's funny. He's done it several times now since I filed some of his own socks for SPI. De728631 (talk) 18:37, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. No worries. He made the mistake of posting to one of the most closely watched sockpuppet subpages, though... -- ChrisO (talk) 18:39, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
