Archives: /Archive1 == Robert G. Cole, MOH == Thanks for editing my contribution. I was suprised Lt. Col Cole didbn't have a Wikipage until today. ==Threats== Follow one of my edits again and comment adversely on the # of edits I have and you will regret it. That I promise you. User:Zenupassio 03:35, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC) :Thanks for the warning. I plan to ignore it. --User:Carnildo 03:52, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Xiong== Hi there! Because the RFC about Xiong seemed to deal mainly on his disagreements with Netoholic, I thought it best to start a new RFC to see if people have comments on Xiong's behavior that do not relate to Netoholic. Please give your thoughts and/or opinion on that at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Xiong. User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 08:27, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC) ==Reception theory== That approach to Wikipedia appals me. It never seems to have occurred to ~~you~~ (not you, sorry, User:Master_Thief_Garrett) , prior to VfDing the article, to just type reception-theory into Google. There ~~you~~he would have found oodles of material, quite enough to make a good stub. It's sheer laziness to VfD an article simply because you, personally, cannot make sense of it, you have to actually make an honest effort to perform at least *some* cleanup, otherwise you cannot say that it qualifies for deletion (I do understand that it wasn't you who listed the piece). You say "little or no context" but the name Stuart Hall should have been adequate context (if you don't know who he is, take a look, it's what Wikipedia is for!) From Stuart Hall (cultural theorist): : ''Stuart Hall is one of the main proponents of reception theory. This approach to textual analysis? focuses on the scope for negotiation and opposition on part of the audience. This means that a text � be it a book or a movie � is not simply passiviely accepted by the audience, but there is an element of activity involved. The person negotiates the meaning of the text. The meaning depends on the cultural background of the person. The background can explain how some readers accept a reading of a text while others reject it.'' This kind of thing makes me scream and pull my hair out. Dealing with vandals is bad enough, but encyclopedists who can't be bothered to use the encyclopedia and do some research, that fills me with despair. Coming back to VfD after a couple of months away, I'm left with a profound sense of betrayal. Some perfectly good articles have been listed simply because the editor who listed them couldn't be bothered to do the most basic research. --User:Tony Sidaway|User talk:Tony Sidaway 22:55, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Your vote for "Tick ToC" == Hi Carnildo. Have your issues regarding your vote of "Conditional support" for "Tick ToC" Wikipedia:Template standardisation#\"Tick ToC\" been resolved? If so would you consider moving your vote to "Support"? Not campaigning here, just trying to make the results easier to interpret ;-) User:Paul August User_talk:Paul August 16:49, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC) == Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Denice_Cassaro == Thanks for your vote on this VfD. I won't use a winkie emoticon, but I'm grinning as I type this. User:Barno 01:52, 4 May 2005 (UTC) == List of national flags == Thanks for your revert. I probably used up all mine, so we need people like you to keep an eye on the page. I also request you watch the partner page, Gallery of national flags. That too is getting hit by people who are adding the Palestine flag without having the consensus reached. Thanks again. :I'm reporting a 3RR violation, as User:Tagteam213 is clearly a sockpuppet. --User:Carnildo 23:27, 4 May 2005 (UTC) ::Your report on the 3RR page seems kind of mangled. There was some page-doubling and subsequent repair on that article - perhaps you should check your entry there. -- User:John Fader (User talk:John Fader | Special:Contributions/John Fader) 23:37, 4 May 2005 (UTC) :::It looks OK to me. I noticed the page-doubling when I went to make the report, and did my best to fix it before reporting. --User:Carnildo 23:40, 4 May 2005 (UTC) ::::Yeah, you were fixing it as I was typing the above message; it looks fine now. -- User:John Fader (User talk:John Fader | Special:Contributions/John Fader) 23:43, 4 May 2005 (UTC) == I split the names/surnames discussion into categories == I realized that a discussion can quickly get messy, so I've split it into categories by preference. -- BDAbramson">User:BDAbramson thimk">User talk:BDAbramson 01:48, 2005 May 6 (UTC) ==Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Masts== The discussion has run its course, and with 22-to-6 votes I'd say there is enough consensus to implement Ten's merging proposal. I've closed the discussion and put up some conclusions as such. Could you please take a quick look at it and indicate on its talk page whether you agree? Yours, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 09:02, May 11, 2005 (UTC) ==Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Maps of Korea== Yes there were eleven votes for getting rid of the page, but there were six to keep it. In general a two-thirds majority is the minimum needed to remove an article. - User:SimonP 23:19, May 13, 2005 (UTC) ::Anon votes are discounted when there is a suspicion of a sock puppetry. In this case the five other keep votes were by highly respected users. Moreover even if I had ignored the vote then the vote would still been a very dubious consensus. Also looking over the count again I don't see where you got your 11 remove votes, I can only find 10. If you fell strongly that the page should be removed, and I actually agree with you that it should go, the best option is to relist it on VfD. With such a close result the outcome may very well be different a second time round. - User:SimonP 23:49, May 13, 2005 (UTC) == Voting confusion == Hi there, I answered your querey on the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/BCE-CE Debate page, but just to let you know, if you vote "oppose", then that will result in a vote for the current system. --User:Silversmith 04:01, 16 May 2005 (UTC) == NPOV proposal == Please see the comments following your "confused" vote. I think you mean to vote "opposed" User:Slrubenstein | User talk:Slrubenstein 04:11, 16 May 2005 (UTC) == RFC == Don't worry about Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Postdlf. It's nothing more than a cheap trick at distraction and/or retaliation for my role in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Daniel C. Boyer. It'll disappear after he fails to get anyone to join his certification within 48 hours of his posting. User:Postdlf 01:13, 18 May 2005 (UTC) == Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Area codes == This discussion seems to have run its course, so I have closed it and drawn conclusions. Could you please briefly look at the conclusions and note on the talk page if you agree? Thanks, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 09:38, May 18, 2005 (UTC) == Wikipedia:Sock puppet/Proposal == Hi there! I've reworded this a bit per everyone's comment, and would like to get support to make this a guideline and allow it to be used. Could you please indicate if you agree? I was unsure if your earlier comment indicated agreement; in current practice, people who create a sock like Smell Etitis walk away unpunished, because they can hide behind anonymity. Even if they do it dozens of times. Is that desirable? Thanks, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 12:28, May 19, 2005 (UTC) == Ranks and insignia of Starfleet == Hello! I attempted to resolve your objection on the FAC page of this article. I removed pure fan ranks and referenced the others with source material from books and live action productions. There should be no more unsupported fanon ranks in the article. I was hopeing you could now change your vote. -User:Husnock 15:54, 19 May 2005 (UTC) == Interwiki Bots == Hi Carnildo. I've been thinking over the recent number of interwiki bot requests and I feel that introducing a more restrictive policy would slightly benefit the Wikipedia. I'd be delighted to hear your thoughts on the matter. Please see my comments regarding this matter at: Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28policy%29#Interwiki_Bot_Policy_Proposal. Thank you for your time. --User:AllyUnion User talk:AllyUnion 08:22, 21 May 2005 (UTC) ==Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Bellevue_West_High_School (2nd_nomination)== Hi, I think if you reflect a bit you will probably want to moderate your comments on this VfD. We don't refer to one another as fanatics in this encyclopedia. --User:Tony Sidaway|User talk:Tony Sidaway 00:06, 26 May 2005 (UTC) == RobotE == Hello Carnildo, I wish let you know that I am approving User:RobotE to run for a duration of one week. If you are watching its edits, and have a complaint, please leave a comment at Wikipedia talk:Bots. Thanks. --User:AllyUnion User talk:AllyUnion 06:54, 27 May 2005 (UTC) == Templates == You do have a fair point about some of those templates. I'll see what I can do about sorting those ones out that are not linked to by multiple articles, like the USS ''Wright'' ones. However, some of those, despite the fact that only one article links to them at the moment ''will'' be linked to by multiple articles once those articles are written. That is certainly the case for the ''Suribachi''- and ''Lassen''-class ammunition ships. In those cases I would say what I have done is exactly in line with what templates should be used for: ie content that needs to be the same over multiple articles for both consistency and ease of maintenance. User:David Newton 07:28, 27 May 2005 (UTC) ==uwe kils== hallo Mark - my students exercised as oceanographers, taking code from my space preparing for a German demonstration project on virtual university, the idea of Erik Moeller (user:eloquence) of the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiversity Wikiversity] for online [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikiversity e-teaching] and e-research and I offered my cooperation as teacher and my interactive [http://www.ecoscope.com/krill virtual microscope] for a course in [http://de.wikiversity.org/wiki/Ozeanographie/kurse/Meeresbiologie Meeresbiologie] and [http://de.wikiversity.org/wiki/Ozeanographie/kurse/Biologie_der_Antarktis Biologie der Antarktis] - for that project it is important to have reproducible credentials for the teachers. We also plan to move educational content from expensive university servers to the free project (in Germany we don't even have tuition in the University) - help us - or not - I really don't care if I am sysop or not, I have that all behind me - we try to help the NeXT generation - best greetings - keep up with your fine work Uwe Kils User:68.46.71.104 17:47, 27 May 2005 (UTC) == Wikifan == On Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ranks and insignia of Starfleet, you wrote: ''In that case, you should probably list the article on VfD as being a mix of trivia and original research.'' I admit that's tempting, but I'm not sure that's the way. There are literally thousands of these crufty pages, and I oppose in principle blanket nominations for deletion. Nor do I want to start a battle with users who spend most of their lives immersed in fantasy warfare. Please see Wikipedia:Wikifan for discussion of a solution to all these obsessive, repetitive articles. Note that your distaste for this matter should not keep you away from the project; if only fans participate, then obviously nothing will be done. What's wanted is activity by community members willing to put shoulders to the wheel to provide a graceful exit and destination for fancruft. — User:Xiong熊">Special:Emailuser/XiongUser talk:Xiong*">User:Xiong/Metatalk 07:21, 2005 May 30 (UTC) == FAC == Please comment at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Starfleet ranks and insignia. I'm particularly worried that the article goes into more detail than almost all readers would be interested in reading (not going into so much detail is a Wikipedia:What is a featured article). Thus longer sections should be summarized and the detail spun off into daughter articles, allowing readers to zoom to that level of detail if they so choose. --User:Maveric149 16:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC) == Thank You Girl == Hi - I've just rewritten this article which you voted delete on at vfd - thought you might like to take another look...? User:Grutness...''User_talk:Grutness 03:13, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Copyrights with no name calling! == I actually did not know the full details of copyrights on the movie pins from Starfleet ranks and insignia. Its actually something that most likely needs to be researched. And no need for name calling. I'm not made of straw and neither was my answer. It was simply the best info I knew. I wasnt trying to be a smart guy by using the Colonel metaphor, either. I work for the National Personnel Records Center and there is a law in place to deal with recreation of U.S. Army ranks, insignia, and medals. Its very complex, but I do know the Army waived rights to rank insignia copyrights a long time ago, possibly in World War II. Anyway, in all seriousness, thanks for the copyright update. The rank pins I would be interested in what you find out. -User:Husnock 00:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) :I see no namecalling. A straw man argument is a particular rhetorical technique where a point that appears to be relevant to the debate is made and defeated, when in fact it is irrelevant. --User:Carnildo 01:49, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==VFD== Just letting you know about Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/HYP (universities) 2. If you have an opinion, please vote. I am notifying people who have been active on either side of the debate. —User:Lowellian (User talk:Lowellian) 23:49, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC) == Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/College admissions and ranking shorthands in the United States == In that discussion you wrote "Maybe move to Harvard-Yale-Princeton or a similar title". The article has been split and expanded (in a way that I think won't incur GFDL problems) using as one half of the split that very title. Please re-visit the discussion. User:Uncle G 04:44, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC) ==Thanks for your support== Thank you for voting on my RFA. Have some PI! I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of supporters (including several people that usually disagree with my opinion). I shall do my best with the proverbial mop. Yours, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!>|<">meta:mergist 08:02, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC) ==Schools - merging is deletion== You are quite wrong that merging will "keep the inclusionists happy". Merging is a form of deletion. It is deletionists who advocate merging. User:CalJW 05:27, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==You cunt== "Raul654 - Remove misplaced RfC request. If you want to file an RfC, do it in the same way as everyone else" I don't have the time to file one, you stupid prick. * I moved the comment to the correct place on your page. Please don't use the roll back future if you decide to revert this comment by the anon. I manual removal with a more detailed message would make it easier to notice the comment in your page history. - User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 10:56, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC) ::I appologise, that comment was made by my facile younger brother

These pulsars are binary by nature due to their divisive magnitude, which is caused by the energy forcefield creating the pulses. These are typically occur in astrophysical calculations that are terminated by misused energy commonly associated with galactic norms. These norms are subject to vigorous anomalies of natural standards of random and chaotic bursts of matter. ===From Orca, originally posted by 81.129.189.19=== The orca, commonly known as the minute ant is the smallest known living creature. Not visible to the naked eye, the orca needs one of the most powerful microscopes in the world to even be seen. Living on a diet of lion and occasionally bald eagle, it spends its days much like a sloth. It lives in only the deepest parts of the river Thames it is entirely self reliant and takes no money from its parents. Nor can it be approved for a student loan. ===Squirrel melts, originally posted by 132.162.244.141=== A common alternative to tuna or patty melts. Simply substitute tuna/meat for boiled squirrel meat. Skin the deceased squirrel and put his bare carcass in a pot of boiling water until thoroughly cooked. The carcass is kind of cute, actually. Once cooked, pick the meat off the bones and shred any large pieces. Mix in mayonaise, grated cheese, celery bits, and your choice of nuts. You know how squirrels like nuts. Put mixture on an english muffin and cover with a slice of cheese. Heat the melts until your desired temperature. Great for weekend snacks at a football game or tailgate party. Squirrel melts- you must try them. ===1,2-Dimethyl-chickenwire, originally posted by User:Cacycle=== :''For the full article, see /1,2-Dimethyl-chickenwire'' 1,2-Dimethyl-chickenwire, is an odorless, colorless, crystalline organic compound. 1,2-dimethyl-chickenwire is a polycyclic non-aromatic saturated hydrocarbon or alkane. It was developed by the chemistry professor Nick D. Kim at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and was first described together with several of its analogs. ===From General Relativity, originally posted by 69.238.217.46=== General relativity (GR) or general relativity theory (GRT) General Relativity was the commanding officer of the 1st Light Cavalry troops from the state of Illinois during the American Civil War, hence the well-known relationship between "Light" and "Relativity." ===From Longest word in English, originally posted by 213.239.235.202=== The word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, also spelled pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis, is defined as "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica or quartz dust." At 45 letters, it is certainly the longest word ever to appear in a non-technical dictionary of English (Source: OED). However there are strong indications that the word was coined by puzzler Everett Smith in 1935 as a hypothetical long word that could result from the protraction of medical terms. The actual name of the disease is pneumoconiosis, which is 14 letters long. As a result, opposition has risen to the claim that pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest word in the English language. Opponents of the claim are known as dispneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisists while supporters of the claim are popularly known as antidispneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisists. Some supporters showing ambivalence are scornfully referred to by linguistic extremists of the latter school of thought as pseudoantidispneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisists. But the ambivalent school, speaking pseudoantidispneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisistically, faces something of a logical conundrum. ==Useful tags== Useful tags that are hard to find in the documentation * * *, , * * * ==Useful sites== Useful sites that are hard to find out about [http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Wikipedia_Status Wikipedia external status page] ==Useful pages== *User:Dpbsmith/BEEFSTEW
