Userpage

Hello, Gwib. Can you please remove your photo, and personal information from you userpage? You can see here for more information. Thanks, --Isis§(talk) 22:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Your argument is worthwhile, however, a photo could reveal your age (age group, at least), and even this could be a bad thing. --Isis§(talk) 22:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
About the Jimbo image, there's no reason why he can't. He's been on tv. Multiple times. He's been in magazines. He is sort of famous, I guess. You don't have to. I'm just saying...--Isis§(talk) 22:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
It's hard for me to decide this single-handed. I'm not a dictator :P. I don't know about the costume thing. Maybe it would be better if there were no image at all. Images aren't as bad as written information, though, IMO. --Isis§(talk) 22:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay. :) I know it's a little sudden, so thanks. :) --Isis§(talk) 22:42, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I have responded on Simple Talk and am with Gwib on this. Why can't I choose? Giving the defence that I am a child just makes it more ageist... Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 01:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Your request! :)

Dear Florian, I've redesigned your userpage, as you requested. I hope you forgive me for not making an entirely original design for you,s ince I based myself on the one I made for my friend R at EnWP; but it's still one I hope you'll like, at least until I get the inspiration I need to make something new! :) Please, let me know if I can help you in any other way, and by the way, thank you so much for your active participation at proposed VG articles, and your excellent feedback. I reviewed the Fall of Man yesterday; let me know if you need a hand to get the VG tag for it, it's going very nice :) Love, Phaedriel - 10:48, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

RE:Archival

I have already archived. Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 00:05, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Block and warnings

Just wanted to remind you that when you give someone a warning, you need to substitute the warning template. This reduces how much work the server has to do when calling up pages by not making it call up the page itself as well as every single template that is on it. -- Creol(talk) 09:44, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Any time! :)

Please, don't mention it, that's what we're here for, dear Florian - to watch each other's backs ;) Besides, you did an excellent work yourself, I merely polished and helped out a little. They say that two pair of eyes see more than one! ;) By the way, nice work with the Fall of Man; give it a few more hours before moving it to the voting stage, in case someone wishes to review it, and let Isis know (she had commented on it before). Keep up the excellent work! :) Love, Phaedriel - 12:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay. That's funny...I'm going on holiday, too! On Sunday, to the beach. For my birthday :) Have a fun time, --Isis§(talk) 19:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the house. :) The best thing is, according to en wiki, my birthday is July 10th, or somewhere around there :P. Don't ask...--Isis§(talk) 20:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC) P.S. I like your userpage and talk page design!

I'm back!

Hi. I'm back from my trip again. No more trips in near future! :p

BTW, do you have any time for these?

I also fixed your talk page (the edit prior to this one) and made it look okay in firefox.

Best, - Huji reply 07:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

71.76.62.9

I am having trouble on my wiki, and need help. See your talkpage there. Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 21:18, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

When I say "Are you a user on Wikipedia, and if so, why?", he/she says "I'm afraid I can't do that" Very mysterious. All of his edits here are good, she/he may be Kimberly Ashton. S/he says s/he is leaving, and I'm glad to hear that. See my talk page over there, and see the messages that were put there. I will infinitely block him/her just in case he comes back to harass me. Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 00:26, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

IP is WHOISed to Roswell, Georgia. Check:here. Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 00:43, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

JTLYK means "Just to let you know". Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 06:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I have now got a message there from Purplecloud that 71.76.62.9 is actually Isis from here. I have unblocked, not knowing what to do. It is astonishing to me who this is and what she is doing. Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 07:03, 26 August 2007 (UTC)


The only thing was if I should put a "retired" template on User:Sean William's userpage, and I thought I had resolved that. I don't know of anything else, and it seems very odd to me. My talk page on NV Wiki has a message from Purplecloud, assuming it is not the banned Isis from en, but Isis from here, saying that it is easy to track down. On Purplecloud's talkpage, Isis left a message. What do you think of this? Should I post at Simple Talk? What should I do? When our trusted administrator has done this and offwiki harass another trusted editor, me? Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 07:16, 26 August 2007 (UTC)


I blocked, then unb=locked. Please ask Purplecloud, or I will ask at Simple talk. This is serious, and it needs to be addressed. Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 07:25, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

On User talk:Purplecloud, it seems Isis has admitted that it is her IP address by asking "Purplecloud, how could you tell that was my IP address? I thought you had to have a special tool for that." What should I do, now that Isis admits? Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 19:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your edid to Paramore

Yes, this was a copy and paste, but I have been told this is O.K if I simplify it (it is QD grounds if it isnt in a short time, which I call 45min). I thought this was simplified, and I re-simplified it. -- Punk Boi 8 07:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I commented-out the complex parts. I'll work on it later. I have no time now. :) --Isis§(talk) 19:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

MTR cleanup

The article on MTR which you recently removed the cleanup tag from was tagged due to the fact that it has multiple non-existent templates and images as well as references to {{Main}} articles and See also articles which do not exist. The entire article is basically an en:wp copy/paste with a very light clean up done to it before it was abandoned. It is still very much in need of cleanup. -- Creol(talk) 13:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words, dear Florian! :) And an early congratulation to you, in anticipation to the upcoming promotion of your second VG article too! I hope you're having a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Hurry back, we wait for you here ;) Love, Phaedriel - 22:05, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

College of Arms

Hi. I'm wondering why you reverted my edits to College of Arms. The article was pretty much a cut-and-paste of the non-simple English-language article, patently not written in simple English. Looking back at the edit history, it's true that some editing had taken place -- a few small changes had been made here and there, but nowhere near enough. So I started a rewrite. It left a small stub, admittedly; but surely that's better than lots of undigested complexity. Or does the simple wikipedia have a policy of gradually paring down and clarifying non-simple articles rather than gradually growing new ones from scratch? Thanks, Doops 18:22, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

GDFL

Got 2 questions:

  1. - Is this O.K for a WP credit

== GDFL Info ==
The content of this page is based off the article on this topic off the English Wikipedia, and is either derative or a direct copy. The page was copied by Spiderpig0001.

  1. - Will I get yelled at if I forget to put that on a few articles I forgot about?

Thanks

Spiderpig0001 Does whatever a spiderpig does! 07:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

That would be nice. Thanks! -- Spiderpig0001 Does whatever a spiderpig does! 07:48, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Done

I've got most of that cleanup I started earier done. I C&Ped a article, but I simplifyed it and put the GPFL tag on the talk page. Is there a archive bot on this wiki? -- Spiderpig0001 Does whatever a spiderpig does! 11:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

That would be good, theres one more im putting into Userspace now (its not an article as such). -- Spiderpig0001 Does whatever a spiderpig does! 11:22, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


Please restore my user page. And, how do you do it? Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 21:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I did not know. CheckUser please? Ionas Rand [i.'ɔ.na.sız tɔk] 21:42, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Vandal spree

Almost everything should be back to normal now. The only thing missing still is the history of your talk page (I got the other 3 pages fully restored). As I need to get dressed and get to work in 10 minutes, I have to leave it at that for now. -- Creol(talk) 21:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I think it's all restored now. Majorly (talk) 01:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Huji/Interwiki again

I have updated our list again, but this time I think I've successfully kept those we have made bold. Do you have any idea what to do with them? - Huji reply 13:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. Well, I'm in agreement with you that we should focus on those articles for which we can find an interwiki.
By the way, may I ask you to answer my questions on your own talk page? This way, the discussion will take place on one page and is easier to follow in future. Of course, if you prefer it the way you do now, I'll have no objections. - Huji reply 19:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

How dee

Hi there... I got your welcome message, and that was soo nice from you. I also add some changes to the changes that you added for my first changes, lol. Anyway, I'm still working on the Tunisia article, I added a description column, a couple of related pages... Feel free to spank me, if I do something wrong :D. I may need some supervision so don't forget to take a look... Biz et a plus. Homespun-bleach 20:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Gwib, I am a bit confused with some things in Wikipedia... I wanted to see if you can explain to me what do mean the numbers at the right of plus: When you see the changes like in new change page there is (his)(diff) name of the page than (+ a number)... Thank ya!! --Homespun-bleach 16:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Be careful when placing links

Hello, be careful when you place links. They need to have the same number of brackets on both sides. I just fixed two or three such bad links, probably of yours. Otherwise have fun editing. --Eptalon 10:57, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll be more careful in future.
Gwib-(talk)- 10:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

New VGA

Hi there! Thanks for your message. I noticed you did some work about VGA's. I wanted to inform you that we have a list here which should be updated. Also, Wikipedia:Very good articles should be updated itself, the new article being added to the top, and the number of VGA's increased. Keep up the good work, - Huji reply 11:22, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, I'd noticed your lists (I love how they're set out - very tidy) but hadn't studied them in detail yet. I'll be happy to update them whenever necessary :)
Gwib-(talk)- 11:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

re:Glad to see you!

Hello, Gwib. Nice to see you, too. :) I'm not back to stay, I come around here every so often to check up on things. Actually, it's because I'm pathetic and can't stay away too long. That little message to Phaedriel just urged me to revert...before I even knew what I was doing :P. Sorry, I can't help you right now, but you're doing a great job on it yourself. Cheers, --Isis§(talk) 12:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! :)

Thank you so much, dear Florian! :) Please, be sure to ask me any time I can help you, in any possible way - and don't be afraid to yell at me if I mess up too, k? ;) And btw - you're next for RfA! With all the excellent work you've done here, it's only natural that you go for it in the future, and I'll be there to support you when you do. I hope you've had a beautiful weekend, my friend. Love, Phaedriel - 17:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

QD request

I have removed the QD tag from Shokushu goukan (now located at Tentacle rape). Although I agree with you that the subject is not very nice (to put it lightly), I don't feel that it qualifies for quick deletion. If you would like to, you may list this page at WP:Requests for deletion. · Tygrrr·talk· 19:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me, I guess you're right. Even the most "touchy" subjects need to be assessed :)
Gwib-(talk)- 19:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
HaHa, thats some cute vocab, dear Gwib, but I don't understand what you mean by "touchy" :) LIAM | LIAM !

Adminship

I'd like to nominiate you for adminiship. You have 48 hours to respond. (Just kidding man) :) --§ Snake311 (T + C) 00:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship

Dear Florian,

If you don't mind, I'm going to hide your comments on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship, below the nomination of M7 for CU. This is because your comments are not about the nomination of M7, and should have taken place somewhere else. This will keep the comments section shorter. I'm not going to remove them or move them, but only hide your comments. If you disagreed, please revert my change freely.

Thanks, - Huji reply 16:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Feel free, Huji :) They were unrelated, it's true. - Gwib-(talk)- 16:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

ps. When you say "mentioned on her talkpage"; her?! Do I really look that girly in my photo? :O
Please accept my appologies about that! - Huji reply 16:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
And, you've got mail! - Huji reply 16:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Accepted smilingly :) (although my hair is a bit girly. - Gwib-(talk)- 16:59, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
That "her" had nothing to do with my impression from your photo! I used to think of you as a "her" times ago, and then I noticed your photo! - Huji reply 17:00, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
ps. Did you send me an e-mail? I haven't got it yet :( - Gwib-(talk)- 17:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Cuban Missile Crisis

Was it just ships, or airplanes too? Because later in the article it says "Kennedy chose to build a blockade around Cuba to stop all ships and planes going there" which hasn't been changed. Adam Cuerden 19:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Controversy section of Evolution

I think I may have broke your rewrite. Could you check? Adam Cuerden 10:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

You did, a bit, but I changed it accordingly. Let's hope it gets past our merciless editors! Gwib-(talk)- 15:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! Sorry about that - I got my versions mixed up, and don't think I quite got it back to where it was. Adam Cuerden 15:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way

I've started on Genetics as well. It's still a work-in-progress, though. Adam Cuerden 16:57, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Being back

It's nice to have you back, honey. Do you have as much time as you had before? - Huji reply 14:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

me :P ...--Cometstyles 18:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
You've got a reply on my talk page man. - Huji reply 21:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Ha! Great to see you, too! Are you here to stay? At least for a while, I hope. :) --Isis§(talk) 20:27, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
3 to 4 weeks? cool. :) and me? well, I won't have much time on my hands, considering how I have "work" to do. --Isis§(talk) 21:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Full screen..

In the time when there were still typewriters, people used to break lines at between 60 and 80 characters (monospaced) width. 25 lines of such text, broken at 80, is 2kb of text. 5k is therefore about 2.5 such "screens".. --Eptalon 20:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Lovely, thanks Eptalon!
