Bees and inebriation

I have constructed a somewhat whimsical draft about this subject at User talk:Filll/beedrunk. Do you think it has a chance to survive? I did get the bee expert User:Dyanega to help write it and edit my stupidities and give me feedback. Do you think it can survive as an article on its own? Or should it be part of other articles?--Filll 18:39, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

replied on your talk page, as you have a section on this article. KillerChihuahua 19:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Editing

I'm just writing to let you know that i have begun editing proper. I have spent some time working on the images that have unknown copyright infomration and am beginning to start making a dent in the pile. i think that my time would be best spent in this area as i have had a lot of practice with this on the wikibooks.

Urbane User (Talk) (Contributions) 20:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

That area certainly needs a lot of attention, and I applaud your willingness to step up to the plate and contribute in such a tedious task. That is not my area of expertise, so if you ever need a second opinion or advice, I am not the person to give it - but I can assist in identifying editors who would be able to help you, so if you need some input feel free to ask me to locate someone with the necessary knowledge for you, and I will be happy to do so. I'm glad you've found a niche where you feel comfortable! KillerChihuahua 14:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Wight

Another of my articles that was hit with a speedy is Thomas Wight. I have been slowly nurturing it in a sandbox. Here it is so far: User:Filll/Thomas Wight. Is it worthy of WP?--Filll 22:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks good to me. I would like to see more about his activities in the area of copyright - what was his position? How did he influence the development? Its not necessary, but would add a good deal. Is there further information about that? KillerChihuahua 12:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I might be able to get more later at a better library. If someone follows the reference, we can dig up more. As I understand it, this publishing/draper's guild at the time was were the ideas for copyright came from. But I have to research it better to understand it.--Filll 12:53, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

AN thread on Troll organisation

Just an alert in case you missed my reply: Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Troll_organization. Thanks. Carcharoth 01:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

A suggestion

Thoughts on this? · j e r s y k o talk · 14:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

You have hopefully at least clarified that full protection of her userpage will not affect me in the least, yet another example of Bearly541's misunderstanding of how Misplaced Pages works; however, I have not even been notified of this bizarre case as yet. I am unclear on what you are asking me to comment on: would you please clarify? KillerChihuahua 14:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, if you haven't been notified, you haven't been notified. Carry on. · j e r s y k o talk · 14:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I do appreciate your efforts here. I am simply waiting at this time - so far, she's left "forever", filed a medcab, modified her medcab several times, made a "compromise offer", etc - all within the last five days. I am simply unsure of what she's trying to accomplish or whether she will end up withdrawing. Cheers, KillerChihuahua 20:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

As an outside observer, it looks like she "bearly" understands how WP works :) --Filll 21:26, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Advice

Thanks for the advice, I got a kick out of it; I'm sure it is just a matter of time before at least one of those things come true.--Isotope23 17:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad you appreciated the humor - I meant what I said about contacting me should you ever want or need assistance, btw! KillerChihuahua 17:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

What does it means ???

Hi,

I want to know what's "External links - Rm link per EL" means ? Just to avoid the same mistake

Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Machsys (talk • contribs) 21:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

It means, Removing link according to WP:EL, Misplaced Pages's guideline on External Links. Please feel free to ask me whenever any of the Wikpedia acronyms have you scratching your head - there are a lot of them, I know, and we tend to use them a lot, especially in edit summaries. For a humorous look at that, see WP:OMG - which won't help, but might at least give you a chuckle, and let you know we really don't mean to confuse the newcomers! I promise that if you stick with it, you'll learn the lingo. KillerChihuahua 21:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Thanks

No problem - I've seen that RfC had been stressed elsewhere, but though I'd at least try to get my thoughts in - after all, any case when an editor leaves under a cloud is a bad one, and I'd always prefer to see the problems resolved amicably. You are to be commended for your handling of the dispute so far - well done :)! Feel free to contact me if you need any help. Martinp23 22:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I concur. (re:amicably is preferable) KillerChihuahua 00:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I have a significant complaint to register

Unbelievable. So (albeit for a tiny % of votes) I lose my RFA because it was assumed I killed song birds. Now I realise there's an admin lurking out there with a murderous canine title. Whatever next. You'll be glad to know I realised the error of my ways! Next time I'm up for RFA, rest assured, I'll hunt you down....... The Rambling Man 23:01, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Replied on user talk page. KillerChihuahua 23:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I very much appreciate your comments. Hurrah for people that can maintain a sense of humour throughout. I knew my RFA was doomed despite the username, hopefully the two or three who found it utterly reprhensible will be able to cope with my latest incarnation. Still, lovely to bump into a fellow "killer"! Cheers! The Rambling Man 23:13, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the information

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to send all that information to me. I am reading "How to edit a page" now. Sorry for not using edit summaries. I will try to do that in future. I clicked on the link for your name and it took me to a page that had "discussion" in a link at the top. You said to ask you on your "talk" page if I have any questions. Is discussion the same as talk? It says at the top of this page that people who are replying to your messages should reply on their own pages. So I'm not sure whether I should have replied here or back there. Anyway, I appreciate the help. ElinorD ElinorD 23:52, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

You are very welcome, but you are giving me too much credit. That was added by a standard template by simply typing in {{welcome}} (follow the link to see the template). Yes, apologies, "Discussion" is precisely the same as "talk" - and if an editor ever asks you to post on the "talk" page of an article, you get there the same way, by clicking the "discussion" tab on the article. You will find that Wikipedians (people like you and I, who edit articles here) tend after a while to speak a kind of specialized lingo - which includes a lot of acronyms, I'm sorry to have to inform you. I'm glad the information provided via the welcome template are helpful to you, please feel free to ask me any question you might have here on my Talk (discussion) page! And don't worry too much about the edit summaries for your past edits, everyone was new here once and we all had to learn all this stuff. Stick with it, and I promise you'll be an expert in no time! KillerChihuahua 00:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see you are using the four tildes (~~~~) to sign - good job, see you are a quick learner! Just so you know, you don't have to type your username also - the four tildes add your name along with the time and date stamp. Cool, yes? KillerChihuahua 00:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Toolbox

Go ahead and make yourself a copy of my toolbox. Martial Law 01:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Nice work! I like the way it is organized... Welcome, Warning, etc. I didn't even know about {{thanks}} - I use {{welcomeip}}. I'm not sure where I'd put it - I'm going to have to think about that. I will certainly reccomend it to others as a nice toolbox for often used templates. I have a suggestion - why not put it higher on the page, where people will notice it? Where you have it now, it might be missed by people might want to use it. KillerChihuahua 02:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you arrange that ? Been on a UFO case. So far on it, the locals believe that The Devil, The Anti-Christ is comming, while I have a witness who has said that the incident was either a training mission or a hoax via aircraft (I have a report of ultralight/microlight aircraft used in a UFO hoax in another UFO incident.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Martial Law (talk • contribs) 20:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

Forgot sig. Been busy on the case. That happens. Must be getting old. Martial Law 20:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

RfM, RfA, big mess...

Sorry to bother you. Concering the latest with Ilena, I'd like your perspective. If you don't have the time, let me know and I won't be offended. The RfM was nonsensical from my viewpoint. I've gone into detail on its discussion page, but in light of the RfA, I think one thing needs to be pointed out: Wizardry Dragon was unclear in the RfM on what specific issues he thought needed moderation. His adding Breast implant to the RfM two days after initially writing it only made it more confusing Jance is the only party that has actually edited the article (other than a single wikify edit by Fyslee, and a single edit by Ilena that added a sentence and reference). From my perspective, he made multiple mistakes in writing up the RfM, and then did not take the time to resolve them himself and didn give others enough information to assist. The RfA is clearer, but writing it because the RfM was refused only ignores his mistakes. He should rewrite the RfM, be clear on the issues he sees, explain what Breast implant has to do with anything or remove it, and ensure that the RfM actually makes sense. Additionally, the RfA makes it clear the he's ignoring Ilena's behavior, specifically her inability to learn and respect wiki policies and guidelines. How can you moderate with someone about neutrality, external links, and inflammatory content when that person shows no understanding of any of the relevant guidelines. --Ronz 03:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
