''Archives'' */archive13 January 2005 - 20 April 2005 == BEEFSTEW: well, OK, but let's not go overboard... == ...I don't think there's any point in fine-tuning the language of BEEFSTEW. I hope your change wasn't prompted by any dispute over whether some particular article scored on point D or not. BEEFSTEW is just a very rough-and-ready guide intended to discriminate between real articles that have had some serious, good-faith diligent effort, and lazy vanity substubs. I have no doubt that pitbull school inclusionists will score the same article differently than I would. User:Dpbsmith User_talk:dpbsmith 10:07, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC) :Yeah, well one of the things I feared about BEEFSTEW, which actually took place in the case of Dr._Michael_M._Krop_High_School, was "BEEFSTEW bloat," i.e. a systematic effort to add mediocre-quality material to school articles in an attempt to meet every possible BEEFSTEW point. An article with a BEEFSTEW score of 2 is a lousy article, but an article with a BEEFSTEW score of 8 isn't necessarily very good. Really, though, and speaking personally, I have no problem with articles about schools ''as long as'' there is really a group of editors who actually care about these articles and are willing to put in real work in order to bring them up to some minimal standard of accuracy and quality. My objection is to the substubs, the vanity, and the articles that present essentially the sort of tabular database information you can get from www.greatschools.net. I think what we're getting now is mostly syntheses and paraphrases of material from the schools' own websites, but I can live with that. User:Dpbsmith User_talk:dpbsmith 12:40, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Oral sex== Thanks for your comment, but I make it a point to avoid getting into revert wars so I won't be doing a revert to restore the picture inline--somebody else will have to do that, to demonstrate to Luke that it isn't just me. --User:Tony Sidaway|User talk:Tony Sidaway 11:18, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC) : Oh, looks like Davenbelle did so. --User:Tony Sidaway|User talk:Tony Sidaway 11:33, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Names of large numbers == Thanks for your recent work. I just wanted to explain: I created the section on the "standard dictionary numbers," and I did so for a fairly specific reason. In a way, it's grotesque overkill. But it does seem be an effective way of keeping nerdcruft out of the article, or at least making a crystal-clear distinction between "real" words, that words like "googolplexian" and "trigintillion" are not real even if someone has them in a list on a website, or if they appear as the output of a program for giving English names to indefinitely large numbers. User:Dpbsmith User_talk:dpbsmith 13:42, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC) *Re Chambers: up to you. (I personally don't think I'd bother unless it shows any interesting difference from other dictionaries in terms of which words are included). But please do keep this article on your watchlist. I've noticed that this article and Binary prefixes and a few others like it are constantly subject to editing by people who, I think, want to show off their belief that they "know" the names of bigger numbers than any that appear in the article. There was a problem a while back with constant re-creation of articles on "nonabyte" and "doggabyte," for example. I think it's just an extension of the time in elementary school when everyone competes to see who knew how to count to the highest number... "yeah, well I can count up to a thousand," "yeah, well I can count up to a ''million skillion jillion!''" User:Dpbsmith User_talk:dpbsmith 14:05, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC) **Further to that: I and Wiktionary:User:Paul G put a whole load of "-illion" words into Wiktionary a while back (Wiktionary:gazillion, Wiktionary:kajillion, Wiktionary:jillion, and so forth). I omitted Wiktionary:fazillion, because it fell below the usage threshold that (to me) indicated that it was a word. Someone else, completely independently, later added it, and we're currently discussing, over in Wiktionary, whether it's a word. One of the points brought up is that there is a very large number of possible words that people can make up fitting this pattern. And people do, indeed, make them up. ☺ User:Uncle G 15:20, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC) == Reference desk == Never underestimate the power of a distributed readership. There was bound to be ''someone'' who remembered that exact article, and in this case it turned out to be me. Glad to be of help!

I have three questions: 1) Is this part of the template below something I am supposed to complete, or someone else is supposed to complete? "Confirmation that other steps in dispute resolution have been tried If not, then explain why that would be fruitless" The reason I ask is because if I am required to complete it, then, I will. If not, then, I won't. 2) I notice two of the ten people on the committee seemed to have already rejected my request. Are they suppose to wait until (a) the above template is complete, and to (b) read a statement (not yet submitted) by the other party, before they make a decision? It seems to me that both (a) and (b) would be necessary, but maybe I am wrong about that. 3) Also, do ten people actually weigh in on this, with rejections or accepting the request I made, or is it just those two people who already rejected my request? I will return here to your talk page for any clarification you can give me on this process. If I should have written this on the arbitration page, please let me know and I will copy and paste there. Thanks, User:SummerFR 17:01, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) Thryduulf, I am still posting tonight my efforts to have a dialogue with Bartloft tonight, but -- can you translate for me what is happening here right now with these committee members' comments posted so far? I don't understand the following: 1) Is the 500 word opening statement supposed to be the place where one presents an entire case? I thought it was a summary and the opening statement, limited to 500 words. Or, is it just whatever number of words you want, like BartLauf did, to actually present a case right away? Is there actually a hearing AFTER the 500 statement or not? I thought there would be, and that specific evidence is presented at that time. The harassment against me was really horrific. Yet, in reading these committee comments, I am feeling like this is what Cuba or Communist China must be like. And I am not trying to be funny here. I am truly shocked. 2) I am the one who brought the case AGAINST someone else. Yet, this committee, so far, seems to want to ignore my complaint, and make this a case against me. Is this arbitration committee ALSO allowed to retaliate against me, for bringing a request for arbitration? I never heard of such a thing. It seems, based on those comments against me by some on the committee, they are voting on a complaint not filed (against me), and not brought by Bartlauf -- a respondent who is VIOLATING the 500 word statement policy. 3) I also requested three committee members to be removed. Does that also not matter? Does anything I say about the actual facts matter at all? So far, it seems not. User:SummerFR 02:38, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) == re: keep/delete schools == See my user page for my thoughts on the keep/delete schools issues. If you think I'm not aware of something, please leave me a message there. I've been researching the keep/delete subject myself, and hearing other's viewpoints on the whole situation would be very welcome. - User:Pioneer-12 15:21, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Typos == Hi, Thryduulf. I saw your comment regarding typos—yeah, I wasn't positive what to do with "liscence" since you also had written "Dual Licensing" (American spelling), but since you had said you were English, I corrected the "liscences" to the British spelling but left the American spelling alone. — User:Knowledge Seeker User talk:Knowledge Seeker 17:04, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Self-destructive subcultures== FYI: I have deleted User:Thryduulf/Internet/Self-destructive subcultures (proposed) after it went on VfD without any further comment.... I think that counts as consensus. :-) User:Mindspillage User talk:Mindspillage 02:59, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) :If Thryduulf did not nominate the page himself, then I object to this deletion. If I had known that it was on Vfd I would have objected there. Deleting pages in people's personal space.... that seems rather nonsensical. People have a right to their opinions. If Thryduulf wants to have this page then he can have it, and if he wants it deleted then it should be deleted. Even if the page is full of garbage it should be kept; it is his right to fill it with garbage if he so chooses. Vfd is for the general encyclopedia, not censoring people's personal views. Only violations of copyright or things not acceptable under the First Amendment--such as outright lies and threats to violence--should be deleted from one's personal space against one's wishes. (The English wiki is based in America, so the First Amendment "freedom of opinion"/"freedom of expression" should apply. Even if it doesn't, Wikipedia seems to share and respect the First Amendment values.) I would have liked to read about "Self-destructive subcultures". The topic sounds interesting, and I've done research on subcultures in the past. Also, pages should not be deleted based on the opinions of one. One person is, categorically, not a consensus. - User:Pioneer-12 03:59, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) ::Now, watch it turn out that Thryduulf nominated the page himself. Heh. If so I withdraw my objection. ::It was good to get my opinion out there, just in case. - User:Pioneer-12 :::Yep, I nominated it! User:Thryduulf 07:05, 27 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 08:26, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC) ==TfD== Thanks. This may be something that falls through the cracks. However if someone is using the template mechanism on one of his own user subpages in talk space or whatever, TfD may not be the most appropriate response. You could ask him to stop, for instance. --User:Tony Sidaway|User talk:Tony Sidaway 11:12, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC) Ah. Sorry, dunno how it ended up on your user page . I was referring to your comment on my talk page: : ''TfD'' : ''Your comment on the userspace policy proposal, "There is no existing bar on TfDing a user template." is not backed up by the precedent of the Keepschools template in userspace. The top of TfD starts "This page is for deleting things in the Template namespace". User:Thryduulf 13:44, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)'' Never mind. :) --User:Tony Sidaway|User talk:Tony Sidaway 00:40, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Rabbit Fire == I agree with you on how stupid it is that this page exists so I'm adding a delete tag. User:Freestylefrappe 03:10, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC) == Dab style == I've created a draft project at Wikipedia:Disambiguation/Style for comment. I'll announce it on Village Pump, but I'm directly notifying people who have commented lately. —User:Wahoofive (User talk:Wahoofive) 17:27, 2 May 2005 (UTC) == Incorrect template removal on Audi A8 == You removed the template from Audi A8, declaring that you removed an inappropriate stub template. That is not a stub template. An anon IP user removed the stub template just before you got there. User:Morven 17:24, May 4, 2005 (UTC) == Personal Attacks == Please refrain from posting personal attacks against other users - many people consider accusing others of being a deletionist constitutes such an attack.
If you continue then you are liable to be blocked from editing Wikipedia until you can be civil. Personal attacks also severly hamper any cause you are trying to promote by alienating others against you. User:Thryduulf 16:01, 5 May 2005 (UTC) :It is clear from the user page User:Pcb21 that this individual's inclusionist leanings are not sufficiently extreme to be upheld as orthodox. To paraphrase President Bush, "You are either with us, or you're with the deletionists." Indeed, your defense of this individual and threat of blocking only prove your own deletionist sentiments. You must be destroyed. I will now vandalize your user page. User:205.217.105.2 16:58, 5 May 2005 (UTC) == Śiva typo stuff == You're really helping me with this. I just would like to thank you. --User:Subramanian User_talk:Subramanian 04:16, 7 May 2005 (UTC) ==Category help== Brookie here - thanks for the post on my query - it's sorted now! Kind regards User:Brookie 07:25, 11 May 2005 (UTC) ==Wikipedia:Watch/Deletion debates needing votes== This section of WP:W hasn't seen any use in the month since its creation... do you think we should keep it? Yours, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 08:11, May 11, 2005 (UTC) ==WP:RM== For your Yoghurt vote to count you need to move it to Talk:Yoghurt and remove it from WP:RM. But before you move it please consider that in this case the Primary Author http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yoghurt&oldid=484796 used Yogurt in the article. User:Philip Baird Shearer 09:10, 12 May 2005 (UTC) == Disappearance of Jeff Q == Hi, Thryduulf. You may have noticed that I never did get back to working on several song lists projects, like your commendable effort on User:Thryduulf/Geonamesongs. I've essentially abandoned my work on the song lists, mostly because I find the effort in maintaining them much less than any value I'd hoped to get from them. (Which is not to say that I don't think they're valuable in general — just not to me anymore. It has, perhaps, more to do with my personal life and reevaluation of my priorities than any comment on the lists' intrinsic worth.) If you've been holding back taking votes or making changes at least partly because of my lack of participation, please don't. Wikipedia, like any wiki, is a compilation of work by the willing and able, and I'm just not making the grade anymore on this topic. I apologize for leaving you folks hanging. — User:Jeffq User talk:Jeffq 21:38, 14 May 2005 (UTC) == triple-triplicate == On Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) you asked about the "-ication" (actually, you wanted "-ifciation") word for nine. From "[http://www.bartleby.com/61/79/N0147900.html nonuple]", I'd guess that the answer would be "nonuplication". I suppose you were just joking, but I wanted to know too. So now I'm off to look for an opportunity to use that word. User:One-dimensional Tangent 19:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC) == Wikimania; interwiki links == It looks like the links you made worked just fine, to me at least. Just thought I'd let you know. — User:Knowledge Seeker User talk:Knowledge Seeker 08:53, 18 May 2005 (UTC) :Hmmm...:cy: gives :cy:, which seems to work for me. Maybe you could try it again? — User:Knowledge Seeker User talk:Knowledge Seeker 16:50, 18 May 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? Thanks, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 12:28, May 19, 2005 (UTC) == David Gerard == This jerk abused his authority, violated Wikipedia policy by using his authority to clear away his lackey's opponents in the middle of a content dispute, and deliberately lied about me claiming that I am a sockpuppet. I stand by my statements. User:ElKabong == User:24.60.128.48 == Hi Chris: It seems to me that you are being rather harsh on User:24.60.128.48 even though I can see that their refusal to respond is frustrating. I have sourced some of the information that s/he added and I think that is more appropriate than reverting their changes. I was particularly concerned to see you reverting a spelling correction and demanding source. If I were that user I would feel hectored at best and bullied at worst. I dunno ... all the good stuff you do and I break months of silence to lecture you ...! --User:TheoClarke User_talk:TheoClarke 10:53, 22 May 2005 (UTC) Thanks for the explanation. I need no apology. Would you like me to keep an eye on this IP? --User:TheoClarke User_talk:TheoClarke 15:17, 22 May 2005 (UTC) == KaintheScion Rfc == I had to revert him several times over the past few days, mainly over that one statement by David. I know thta pages can be protected from vandalism, but does policy pages ever need protection in situations like this? User:Zscout370 User_talk:Zscout370 14:49, 23 May 2005 (UTC) Zscout is a lying POV-pushing jerk. And I would appreciate it if you would direct problems you have with me, to ME, rather than throwing baseless accusations at an innocent user. Unlike Zscout I have certain principles and morals, and watching someone innocent be attacked is not something I will stand idly by and accept. User:ElKabong ''Firstly, your behaviour and that of KaintheScion are basically identical, and it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt by David Gerard, who the community trusts to have access to the relevant technical information, that you and him/her are the same person. Secondly, making personal attacks against another user on my talk page in a message about directing problems with you to you directly, is a good example of the pot calling the kettle black. Thryduulf 15:53, 23 May 2005 (UTC)'' :David Gerard is a liar. He fabricated the so-called "evidence", in a scheme to aid Tony Sidaway in violation of Wikipedia policy on using admin powers to gain an advantage in content disputes. Nothing more, and nothing less. User:ElKabong == Sorry :-( == I'd just like to personally apologise for the edit to the Dalek page. I'm glad that you understand that I was just making a joke, but I feel terrible that my attempt at humour was miscontrued and that I went too far. I've since withdrawn my request for adminship. I'm now sending a personal apology to all those who've opposed the adminship because of my actions. - User:Ta bu shi da yu 02:25, 24 May 2005 (UTC) == Glasgow, etc. == Thanks for the tip, Thryduulf. I've moved the question to Wikipedia_talk:UK_Wikipedians'_notice_board -- yet another area of WP of whose existence I hadn't been aware. -- User:Hoary 07:51, 2005 May 25 (UTC) == You'll be singing within 20 seconds. == See List of English songs whose title includes nonsense-words.
And enjoy (You'll be singing within 30 seconds). :-).
-User:DePiep 14:29, 25 May 2005 (UTC) ==A question== Hi Thryduulf - just noticed this, which you wrote on Zscout370's page: :''re: page protection, any page can be protected by an administrator (of which I am not one), and requests can be made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection (WP:RFPP).'' As I type this, you have 3999 edits(!), and have been here since at least the beginning of the year. You're also fairly heavily involved in VP, reversion of text, and talk pages all across Wikispace, as well as being a conscientious article editor.

It looked vaguely scandinavian however, so I asked a scandinavian to tell me :-) They identified it as a language spoken in Norway: Nynorsk. I don't speak that langauge, unfortunately. To aid in identification in future: Dutch is written with almost the same alphabet as english is, has a special y vowel (often typed as ij), and still uses Diaeresis consistently as part of the required spelling, wheras in english it's been phased out. Dutch words are often similar to german, but with a more modernised spelling. Sorry I can't be of more help! User:Kim Bruning 00:23, 27 May 2005 (UTC) :Hi, Thryduulf, kim asked me to take a look at the nynorsk page. I can't find any copyright info on itit's a school site, and I kind of suspect they don't have much of a clue about copyright themselves. However, the picture is obviously really old! It's way out of copyright. I'll tag it and put in a reply at the RD.

Before it is put to a general vote I would like your advise on the wording and intent; could you please take a look? Thanks, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!>|<">meta:mergist 13:35, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

Thryduulf



Wikipedia:Babel
==disruption to usual service== I am currently on holiday in Scotland - I will most likely be away from wikipedia and email until about June 26 or June 27. User:Thryduulf 13:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==About me== I am a 24 year old male from the United Kingdom, I currently live in Cheddar, Somerset and work in Taunton, where I am employed as a Civil servant for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affiars (DefrA). I have been a Wikipedian since 26 December 2004 and an administrator since 2 June 2005. ==How to contact me== #My user talk:Thryduulf #Special:Emailuser/Thryduulf See /Contact for more information. ==About my username== My user name is Anglo-Saxon (rather than Scandinavian as has been suggested) and has the following story behind it: Ages (years) ago a new forum was set up for fans of history and archaeology, because some members of an existing forum were sick of all the off-topic postings (the new forum is now sadly defunct, the original one still remains). For some reason the regulars all chose historical names, prinicpally Roman. The Romans have never been a particular interest of mine, and wanting to be a bit different I decided to go with an Anglo-Saxon name (I'm English, btw). I searched the net for Anglo-Saxon names, and found a site (I've not been able to find this online now) with a huge list of them, I browsed the list and decided I liked the look of the name ''Thryduulf'', and so I chose that as my username. I've used it intermittently since. My other (more regular) username is ''Awkward42'' (because I am awkward, and as Awkward was taken at hotmail, I chose Awkward42 (42 being The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything). User:Awkward42 on here is also me, see below and the Awkward42 user page. ==Typos & Spelling errors== I make typos and spelling errors frequently. Please feel free to correct any that you spot, including on my user page and in any comments I post. However, please note that I write in British English, normally using -ise spellings - ''colour'' and ''realise'' are not spelling errors! (''Liscence'' on the other hand is a spelling error I make frequently, this should be corrected to ''licence''). See American and British English differences. Occasionally I might spell something intentionally wrong to make a point, but this should be obvious from the context. ==Dual Licencing== Notes: This applies to my ''text'' contributions to all wikipedias, except as noted below. Any work in progress sub-pages in my userspace (e.g. /geonamesongs) are dual licenced in to the public domain as above unless it is detailed differently below. Exceptions: # This page is not public domain.
# My talk page is not public domain. # User:Awkward42's page and associated talk page are not public domain. # My /Contact page is not public domain. ''Images'': All images that I upload will be individually licenced, check the image description page for details. I have ''lots'' of photographs on my [http://www.sucs.org/~cmckenna/photos/alphabetical.html website]. If you want to use one of these images here or elsewhere, please email me at cmckenna@sucs.org. By default I retain copyright on all my photos on that site, but in most cases I will dual licence (usually to a Creative Commons licence) if they can be of use here or elsewhere. Awkward42: Everything above applies to User:Awkward42 with no exceptions. -User:Thryduulf last updated: 18:01, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC) ---- ==user:Awkward42== Awkward42 is my secondary, work-safe user account (I have had no trouble with this log in to-date, but I feel it best to be prepared having seen some of the accusations flying around Requests for Comment/Arbitration). I will not likely do much editing with that user, and so I don't foresee myself logging in much with that user. Consequently non-urgent messages are better left on User_talk:Thryduulf rather than User_talk:Awkward42. Urgent messages should be directed to whichever I'm using at the time. I may move any potentially non-work-safe messages from that talk page to this, adding appropriate context on both pages. My dual licencing statement above applies equally to both users. I will endeavor to vote only once in all polls, surveys, VfDs, etc. I am human though, so if I slip up I apologise in advance. Please disregard the earlier of the two votes. User:Thryduulf 03:09, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC) I've been asked what I mean by a "work-safe" account. At my workplace there are regulations regarding accessing "inappropriate" content on the internet as part of the fair use policy that allows us to use the internet for non-work activities. Although Wikipedia in itself is not inappropriate by any means, some articles may not be, for example articles on pornography, paedophilia, politics (I work in the UK Civil Service), etc. It is possible that my using work's network to access or contribute to such articles may contravene these regulations. I do not have the same restrictions on my personal internet connection at home, and do not wish to be subject to them outside of work. For this reason I have created User:Awkward42 as a secondary user, from which I will not access or contribute to possibly inappropriate articles, leaving me free to use User:Thryduulf to edit without restriction. As of 24 January 2005 there has been no problem, but I am prepared for an eventuality where it becomes one. User:Thryduulf 02:29, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC) ==Recomended places== These are a few highlights of Wikipedia that I recommend you pay a visit to *User:Silversmith/The Fabdabulous Wikipedians page ==Shortcuts== These are my shortcuts to pages I visit frequently, and whose titles I don't seem to remember *:Category:Articles that need to be wikified ==Work in progress== These are articles that I'm working outside of the main article space (e.g. trial versions of proposed changes). */Geonamesongs - Proposed reworking of List of songs whose title includes geographical names to include links to places. Comments to User talk:Thryduulf/Geonamesongs please. ==Photo galleries== These are galleries of photographs that I have uploaded to wikipedia or wikimedia commons. More galleries are on my website [http://www.sucs.org/~cmckenna/photos/alphabetical.html], see above for copyright information regarding these. */Wikimeets/London3 ==Random stuff== I couldn't fit this stuff anywhere else!
