Stumbled over ] and installed the script right away. I posted two related questions to ]'s talk. One is about the script itself (it displays as "3 00:24" right now, with 3 for December 3, and I wanted to know if that could be changed to 12-03).

FYI "emotive" is a word. It's a synonym of "emotional, but is used almost exclusively to describe art and music (as far as I know) to denote a particularly emotional/emotive piece, when "emotional" isn't quite the right word. Emotive gives a sense of process (like the words "constructive" or "deductive" do), whereas emotional makes it sound less like a process and more like a mood. But in the context of the article, "emotional" is better, since it's talking about somebody's mood! That's my random trivia FYI for the day. See you 'round. --] 03:54, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to reply to your question at ], "!vote" is a term that people use to get around the fact that Misplaced Pages is said to be based on consensus rather than voting. Editors don't want to be told this every time they use the word.

Hi, I'm really flattered about the suggestion of joining the project. I've always considered devoting more of my time to the fight against vandalism. But truth be told I'm still not that good at using Misplaced Pages even though I've made my own start class article. Plus I'm worried about the reprisal attention from vandals. Although I will say it would be great if there was somewhere informants could go and just give a name and and an article and forget about it, safe in the knowledge an anti-vandal will take care of it.

== Adminship ==
I have done some thinking about this and reached an interesting conclusion: since I resigned my rfa to end the edit war there and keep our contributers here we (by which I mean wikipedia) never resolved the issue of whether or not I should be admin here. Now that everyone has had a chance to distance themselves from my original rfa and the fiasco that ensued this would likely be a good time to reopen the issue and determine with certainty whether or not I meet admin requirements now. In light of this I think the time is right to take you up on your offer to renominate me for adminship so we can see what the community has to say without the added circus sideshow. If I pass this time then so be it, if I fail then I will have lots of suggestions for improvement. At the same time I would like to thank you for your offer to renominate me; I apreciate it very much. ] (]) 00:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

UTC clock

Stumbled over Wikipedia_talk:Editor_assistance/Requests#UTC_clock and installed the script right away. I posted two related questions to Arichnad's talk. One is about the script itself (it displays as "3 00:24" right now, with 3 for December 3, and I wanted to know if that could be changed to 12-03).

Yes, it's UTC. I've just copied it to User:Dorftrottel/time.js. Going to fiddle around a bit, until I get rid of the year and the (UTC) tag, since I am using the floating quickbar extension which also moves the userlinks to the left into the quickbar, and the full timestamp with year etc. doesn't fit into the width of the quickbar. I dorftrottel I talk I 01:17, December 3, 2007

Ok, I got it. You can try it by adding importScript('User:Dorftrottel/time.js'); to your monobook.js. I dorftrottel I talk I 01:36, December 3, 2007

I implemented the changes you tried to apply. The seconds should be gone now, I removed them from my time.js. I also changed the format "day month" to "month day" (i.e. as of right now it reads "17:25, Dec 3"). I dorftrottel I talk I 17:26, December 3, 2007
