Gliese 581 g

By happenstance you've been editing Gliese_581_g, which I had fun reading today. Cheers, Gwen Gale (talk) 13:47, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Accidental deletion

Sorry about that - it was unintentional... TheRealFennShysa (talk) 21:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Small world

I just read about the new planet, "Gloaming" and I checked Misplaced Pages and of course it's here. But I saw your name and Gwen Gale. That's so cool.Malke 2010 (talk) 22:17, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, you! How are things? Viriditas (talk) 23:54, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Great. I'm working on a couple of articles at once so I'm busy. I forget, do you do any of the military history?Malke 2010 (talk) 00:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Not so much, no, but I want to thank you for thinking of me! : ) Viriditas (talk) 00:14, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Other planets

Hi Viriditas, you added a statement to the Gliese 581 g article to the effect that there are planets between Gliese 581 g and the parent star that are not tidally locked. The content of the Tidal locking article suggests otherwise. I don't see any support for this idea in the other articles on the Gliese 581 system, either. Do you have any reference(s) to the effect that planets inward of Gliese 581 g are not tidally locked? Thanks, WolfmanSF (talk) 01:42, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

No, I did not make those edits. Look closer at the diff. It shows me making a copyedit. Taking another look, it appears that I accidentally restored edits made by User:24.78.166.69 based on another edit made by User:Hibernian I'll fix it. Viriditas (talk) 01:54, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I think I've fixed it. If there are any more problems, please let me know. Viriditas (talk) 01:58, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of the issue. WolfmanSF (talk) 01:59, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Viriditas! I want to say ... congratulations (!!!!) on your work on Gliese 581 g. I just noticed its mention on the main page, looked at its contribution history, and saw that you'd played a major part in its development. You know I have some objections to your overall manner of interaction with other editors here, but that in no way diminishes my great respect for the very high quality of your scholarship. I wish we had more editors with your respect for sources, and more editors who are willing to undertake the extraordinary level of in-depth research that you're willing to undertake. Even your most vociferous opponents would be disingenuous to deny you your rightful kudos for that extraordinarily admirable characteristic. Best regards,  – OhioStandard (talk) 03:10, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but I'm only helping out with cleanup and copy editing. Viriditas (talk) 06:44, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry about that... How do you add pages to your watch list? CJISBEAST (talk) 02:10, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I know of at least three ways, there may be more. Depending on the skin you are using to edit, you might see a "star" to the right of the History tab at the top. Click it. When it turns light blue, you will be given a message saying the page has been added to your watchlist. Another way is to change your preferences under "watchlist". A third way is to use popups.

Thanks CJISBEAST (talk) 02:16, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

watchdogging the FNC camp

Hey, I'm curious about your chart Fox News Channel reverts and disruption .. I could add plenty from own experience. Namely, one in particular who continues to troll the FNC talkpage and derail arguments with petty squabbling. This past summer I didnt recognize his disruptive comments for what they're worth, so I engaged/fed the troll. -PrBeacon (talk) 05:25, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. It's just a table. You could try creating your own subpage and documenting the problems you encounter. I wouldn't dwell too much on the past at this point, but work forward from here on out. Remember to take the higher ground and avoid reverts. Viriditas (talk) 06:43, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Also meant to ask: has anyone requested CheckUser on the half-dozen accounts camped there to defend the article from balance? I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them works at FNC. -PrBeacon (talk) 17:16, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
