Poor Yorick

"Alas, Poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that." -Hamlet, Act Five, Sc.1 One of the many greatest moments of Hamlet and Shakespeare's works. ---- "....You cannot separate the just from the unjust and the good from the wicked; For they stand together before the face of the sun even as the black thread and the white are woven together. And when the black thread breaks, the weaver shall look into the whole cloth, and he shall examine the loom also." -Khalil Gibran, ''The Prophet'' ---- Fields of Interest: Computer science, Software engineering, Astronomy, Philosophy. ---- I've been on Wikipedia for a while, besides vacation
I find it very useful in finding information.
But alas, ''Poor Yorick'', Wikipedia made me a Wikipediaholic
Damn it Wiki, a POX on thee!!
I've been on the 12 steps to recovery,
but got stuck on number three.
What to do, what to do
What would be the prudent thing to do?
Abstain thy Wiki? Ruin thee? Cry?
On the verge of madness, was I
And then I realized, in my newfound philosophy
That Wiki was a blessing, not a curse
So I embarked on a quest for knowledge
Searching for things like Gosport and nurse
To find in much horror, that it was ''BORING''
I'd much rather go out and meet a girl
Throwing one-liners and scoring
So I decided to leave my loft, my wings unfurled
And I am reminded, as I leave the computer
Of an old folk parting, by two comedians, Wayne and Shuster
Good Bye, so long, farewell, adieu mon vieux
Good Bye until we meet again!
(Probably next week, curse that Wikipediaholic ;) =�)

Poor Yorick

Useful links: Wikipedia:TeX markup ----- Hello and Welcome! Nice work on creating the star pages - you might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Astronomical Objects or Wikipedia:WikiProject Constellations. Cheers! --User:Maveric149 :Well done, thanks. -- User:Looxix 10:30 Apr 4, 2003 (UTC) -------- Thank you for fixing the user talk page! User:172 ---- Hi your article Arecibo Observatory is redundant with Arecibo radio telescope. I think a simple redirect should be better. -- User:Looxix 23:31 Apr 6, 2003 (UTC) :Yeh. I didn't see that there. Thx --User:Poor Yorick ::No problem, but it's always a good idea to check in List of astronomical topics and/or the search before to create a new article. -- User:Looxix 23:50 Apr 6, 2003 (UTC) ----- Thanks for the help on the element nav tables. --User:Maveric149 ----- Please see my modification to the table on Silicon which I modified. I like it better when it is all centered like that. What do you think? User:Dgrant 02:05 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC) ---- I noticed that you just went through a bunch of math articles to "wikify" them. Actually, they were already wikified. The reason is that '' and actually do different things in wiki -- the former indicates text that's emphasised for some purpose, while the latter indicates text that's been deliberately placed in an italic font, no other. Almost all web browsers choose to denote emphasised text with an italic font, but they mean different things. In particular, variables in mathematics are written in specific fonts, not with special emphasis. This is especially relevant with vs , since (used for headwords) may be favoured by the search engine. To be sure, most editors ignore this distinction, and I'm not about to demand that you (or anybody else) must make it when you write math articles. But it does mean that you don't really need to spend time switching articles from the pedantically correct markup to the more common '' markup, if you have anything else that you want to do. On another note, how are the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory part of computer science? I don't even know how to ''apply'' them specifically to computer science; the informatics-based models of proofs and algorithms that I've seen seem to prefer type theory to set theory in the first place, and have no analogue of such matters as the axioms of replacement and regularity. But if they are an essential part of CS somehow, then I'd like to know! -- User:Toby Bartels 10:23 May 3, 2003 (UTC) ---- Backward Inorder traversal is an orphan. Maybe you can find an article or two to point to it? :) User:Kingturtle 07:12 May 14, 2003 (UTC) ---- Are you sure about that 1 E26 W for the Sun at orders of magnitude (power)? My sources give 3.827 × 10²⁶ W. On the other hand, I don't remember just which of my sources that was offhand, I've got it copied down from whatever I originally got it from. -- User:JohnOwens 11:13 19 May 2003 (UTC) I'm thinking somewhere around 1 E24 W or so, we might want to switch over to doing the power pages by the thousand, like the other dimensions do past certain points. The main criterion is to have at least one example per page average, and we're going to start running out somewhere between the Sun and the Milky Way, I'd think. Any suggestions what would be a good cutoff point, or objections to doing it this way at all? -- User:JohnOwens 12:17 19 May 2003 (UTC) blackboard bold does not mesh well with a paragraph. ---- Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! You have volunteered for boring housekeeping activities which normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops basically can't do anything: They cannot delete pages arbitarily (only obvious junk like "jklasdfl,�asdf JOSH IS GAY"), they cannot protect pages in an edit war they are involved in, they cannot ban signed in users. What they can do is delete junk as it appears, ban anonymous vandals, remove pages that have been listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion for more than a week, protect pages when asked to by other members, and help keep the few Wikipedia:protected pages there are, among them the precious Main Page, up to date. Note that almost everything you can do can be undone, so don't be ''too'' worried about making mistakes. You will find more information at Wikipedia:Administrators, please take a look before experimenting with your new superhero. Drop me a message if there are any questions or if you want to stop being a sysop (could it be?). Have fun! --User:Eloquence 19:16 21 Jun 2003 (UTC) ---- Well, yes. Be grateful as much as you can. FWIW why I put my name behind your nomination, was because your name was the only one I recognized and had a coherent image of as regards to their contribution to wikipedia. Don't take it as signal that I won't support or instigate yur sysop-status removal, if you decide to wan't to turn it to shit! -- User:Cimon avaro 06:39 23 Jun 2003 (UTC) ---- Some comments on your archiving of Talk:Main Page/Layout design: * When archiving, please leave out the threads that are still active, usually but not always the last ones on the page. * Archiving is non-minor -- please do not mark it as minor, and ''always'' put a comment like "archiving" in the discussion field. That way it's easier to find the right edit in the page history. * It makes sense to use subpages for archiving, because then you get a nice backlink to the main discussion page. This also works for subpages of subpages -- take a look, I moved your archive to Talk:Main Page/Layout design/Archive 1. --User:Eloquence 04:23 6 Jul 2003 (UTC) == wow. long time no see == Only around for the weekends? == Main Page == Didn't you see this in the Main Page wikitext ? Please follow the guidelines that are on Wikipedia:Selected Articles on the Main Page. --User:Maveric149 20:52, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC) Yeah man, The Panama City and Asuncion were listed in the August 15 Anniversary page, so I thought it'd be acceptable. I'll have to update those articles.Poor Yorick 01:10, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC) :Sweet! That's one of the main reasons why I think this rule is so important; it encourages people to update the articles. :) --User:Maveric149 03:12, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC) == Marcus Barcan == Hello. I see you added Marcus Barcan to that little list of requested articles at the top of Recent changes. And so I was wondering who this was... A Google search for this name turns up "about 30" matches. However, most of them seem to refer to Ruth Barcan Marcus, a philosopher and logician after whom the Barcan formula is apparently named. Is this who you meant? She has a page [http://www.yale.edu/philos/people/marcus_ruth.html here], which says that she has also been known as "Ruth C. Barcan" and "Ruth B. Marcus". Not "Marcus Barcan", though... -- User:Oliver Pereira 13:21, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC) == WikiBank == I completed your request for Paternalism a little while ago. --User:Alex S 19:46, 13 Sep 2003 (UTC) ---- Check out Coherentism.User:Banno 22:19, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC) Hope it meets your standards. I've moved ψ1 to my account. Thanks. ==Problem users== Thank you! I thought that as I added the "you may not remove yourself from this page" rule, I had better stick to it. :) User:Angela 09:07, Nov 2, 2003 (UTC) ----- Is that UBC picture you put on the UBC article a personal picture of yours? If so, then thank you. If not, please tell me who owns the copyright. User:Dgrant 06:42, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC) ---- I unprotected User:Poor Yorick - assuming accidental/old vandal/etc. If deliberate, please re-protect and drop a quick line of explanation on wikipedia:protected page and/or on the page itself. Thanks. User:MyRedDice 18:07, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC) ==Protected pages== Hi, when next you update Wikipedia:Protected page could you please sign with a timestamp? It helps to know how long a page has been protected for. Thanks, User:Silsor 18:34, Feb 15, 2004 (UTC) ---- ==Stubs== I don't think it's policy top precede with a ---- horizantal rule. - User:Fennec 05:04, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC) ==Reciprocal System Article== I don't understand how you can protect this page and at the same time not require Simon to discuss his issues on the article's talk page. I invited him to discuss his issues with my changes days ago and as yet have received no response, nothing, nada. The guy originally reverted all my changes and marked his edit MINOR! Then, I reverted it back and asked him to discuss it with me and the next thing I know you locked the article. Doesn't this seem just a little unjust? Please, either encourage Simon to discuss these changes or unlock the article. -- Dbundy ===Category_talk:Data_management=== Thank you for your contribution to one, or more, articles that are now organized under Data management. Because of your previous intrest, you are recieving an invitation to become a founding member of the Category_talk:Data_management. The members, of course, will form and solidify the purpose, rules, officers, etc. but my idea (to kick things off) is to establish a group of us who will take responsiblity to see that the ideas of Data management are promoted and well represented in Wikipedia articles. If you are willing to join the committee, please go to Category_talk:Data_management and indicate your acceptance of this invitation by placing your three tilde characters in the list. User:KeyStroke 01:03, 2004 Sep 25 (UTC) Update:Category_talk:Data_management - what shall be the mission statement, goals, and measures for our project Wikiproject? User:KeyStroke 19:33, 2004 Oct 3 (UTC) == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information: *User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Wikipedia:Multi-licensing *User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "" template into their user page, but there are other options at Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: :Option 1 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below: : OR :Option 2 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below: : Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "" with "". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my User talk:Ram-Man. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- User:Ram-Man ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new comment]| User talk:Ram-Man == Image:Une571.jpg == Thanks for uploading :Image:Une571.jpg. You labeled it as "Must credit author", but provided no indication of who that author is! I'm part of a team of volunteers looking at all untagged images to make sure that they have proper Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Could you look at that image's description page, provide the author information, if available, and make sure it has the appropriate tag? Thanks! User:Kbh3rd 01:30, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC) ==LCS Alpha / Beta?== Hello there! Where you the one who put the bit about LCS Alpha / Beta in the Longest-common subsequence problem-article? You see, the article contains no hint at all on where to find out what the differences are with respect to the algorithm shown. If you could drop me a web-link or give me some information, I'd be glad to see if I can write an article about it (if time allows me to). Bye! User:Gerbrant 21:24, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC) :I've been toying around with it a bit and found that trees could speed things up. So I looked for trees on the web. I found an algorithm by Ukkonen and a reference to an older algorithm. Are they the algorithms you meant? User:Gerbrant 19:25, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC) == sports franchises == You made Los Angeles Raiders into a redirect to Oakland Raiders. This is a decision I fully support. I think it is the correct protocol for MLB teams. There is currently a debate raging at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Montr�al Expos, and so far the ''redirect'' solution is losing. I think it is because some of the users don't fully understand how franchises work in MLB. If you have the time, maybe you could chime in on the conversation there. User:Kingturtle 04:46, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Possible impostor == I've been doing some impostor hunting lately, seeing as how we've had a rash of them lately and all, and you got the following hits: . Of course, this may be nothing, but I thought I would let you know. – User:ClockworkSoulUser talk:ClockworkSoul 04:58, 11 May 2005 (UTC) User:Zscout370 User_talk:Zscout370 03:02, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
