Xbox Handheld

You participated in an AfD for Xbox Handheld. I re-wrote the article as a stub and provided sources. Please take a look at the re-written article Xbox Handheld and comment at the AfD discussion Alan Shatte 22:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Eep! "Someone Set Up Us the Mop!"

Thanks for the support on RfA!

With the RfA complete and over, and a day to recover on top, I finally feel able to click a few buttons and write a few comments. Of those, there's about a dozen editors I hadn't come across before, whom I particularly want to write a comment to.

As a friend and also as an editor, you wrote. As both those - thanks. I hope to live up to the best of 'em all.

I've set myself up a user subpage to post questions when I need to check "what would other users do here?". I'll probably have a lot of those early on. If you want to watchlist User:FT2/Advice sought, I'd value it :) it's my first step in ensuring this new access gets used for the best when circumstances arise, and to seek advice from others.

Separate from all that, I look forward to seeing you round. What subject areas are you working on these days?

Keep in touch, happy editing in 2007, and once again - many thanks! :) FT2 02:32, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

User:Stoic atarian

I didn't block User:Stoic atarian, i only protected his talk page for keep removal of warnings. Thanks Jaranda 15:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject updates

• I have done some updating to the WP:SCN, added some new articles, added a "to do" list to the top of the project, and fixed up some categories and assessment stuff. I suggest we should all pick one article at a time, or at most two, to work on bringing up to Featured Article status. You could give input on the project's talk page...

Death of Marylin Monroe

I just want you to know that I dont appreciate you removing the articles deletion page when There was not even more than a few comments yet.I feel very strongly that the nomination should be put and unless you can prove that there was a consensus than it may return Rodrigue 17:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

As I noted in the closing comments, AFD stands for "Articles for Deletion", not "Articles for Merging". As neither you nor anyone else who commented expressed an interest in deleting the article outright, there's no point in discussing whether it should be deleted. Merging it to Marilyn Monroe would be a decision made through discussion on the two articles' talk pages. Zetawoof 19:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Kafka article

Hello,

Thank you for fixing the Franz Kafka Article. I don't have a clue what happened. I went in and did some text editing (like I've done many, many times before with other Articles) and, when I Saved it, the whole bottom of the Article was gone. I tried to fix it by reverting the edit but I couldn't get it to work. What could have caused this? Anyway, thanks again.

What web browser are you using? If it's Firefox, what extensions? Some older browsers, and buggy Firefox extensions, will truncate articles longer than 32 kilobytes of text. Zetawoof 20:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. I'm a bit computer challenged, so bear with me. I'm using a rather old version of Internet Explorer which I know I need to upgrade and have been procrastinating on doing. It's time!

Thanks, again, and I'll be more careful with the long Articles for a while.

Akita shepherd

Hey Zetawoof! or whatever your name is(Zeta by the way is a female name in Greek, are you male or female?) Is that what you do? Roaming in Misplaced Pages all day trying to find which articles you can axe? Haven't you got anythin better to do in your teen-illiterate life??Is that how you become an administrator? I ve got a suggestion for you. Instead of trying to delete other people's work why dont you write a line for an article, or two? Shame on you! Pardon my english, i am only Greek! Idiot! Misplaced Pages needs more writers not more beraucrats, workers, not commanders (its got enough of them, simply coz everybody wants to be one) My article deleted by an animal? whats this world coming to Sorry about my tone but your idiocy has made me angry

ps I havent made the breed up and the article is gdamn sourced

user:Spyros Pantenas

In that case, can you:

• Reply on the AFD discussion page,
• Expand the article to explain why this crossbreed is special, and
• Provide sources that say something substantive about the breed?

Right now, the article just defines the breed as an Akita/GSD cross and claims that they are "quite an interesting mix". Zetawoof 23:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Giza.jpg

Hello, I've been trying to create maps of Egyptian cities using Google Maps. I reference this on the appropriate pages (for Image:Giza.jpg , please see Giza). If I use Google Maps to generate the original map, then I make modifications to the map, does this still count as a Google Maps copyright? And if the answer is yes, how can I appropriately cite the source in this case? Or is it totally prohibited? Thanks in advance for your help. --Lanternix 05:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

No - no matter what modifications are made to the image, it remains property of both Google and anyone else they're licensing the images from, so it's invalid for use in Misplaced Pages. You can, however, often get free images from NASA World Wind - be very careful, though, as only certain layers are public domain. (Their website says that the Global Mosaic, Blue Marble, and USGS layers are PD.) For more information, see the World Wind wiki. Zetawoof 06:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your help. I began a new style of maps for Egypt using an empty map that a friend of mine generated, then I put the names of cities etc on it. For an example, please see Image:AbuQirqas.jpg and let me know if this is now appropriate. Thanks again for your help. --Lanternix 15:53, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Quantum Realm

With due respect. Why did you do a redirect of this article just as I was composing it? No discussion, nothing. The speed is rather breathtaking. But, rather against the rules and guidelines. As for "notability", this is a subject that gets about 30K returns on a Google search. The subject matter is not included in the Quantum mechanics article.Pproctor 01:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to revert, or redirect it somewhere else. I'm just not sure that there's anything that can be said about the "quantum realm" that isn't already said either at quantum mechanics or somewhere else - it's not really an independent topic. Zetawoof 01:12, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Vandalised page

Someone replaced your user page with "Beware, this user fucks animals". I reverted it for you. Ten Pound Hammer •  20:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. (I'm honestly surprised I don't catch more flak than I do.) Zetawoof_(ζ) 22:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Why do you say that? Ten Pound Hammer •  01:32, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

The use of zeta in his name. Look it up someday.  :-) (Hi, Zetawoof. *secret-handshake-or-something*) -- Coren  16:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

RapidWeaver

1. My changes to RapidWeaver contain useful content. 2. This article was in the process of being created in multiple saves, and was deleted way to soon after the initial creation. 3. IT IS NOT ADVERTISING FOR ANY COMPANY. ESPECIALLY NOT BLATANT ADVERTISING. I am not promoting any company, product, group, service, or person. I am unaffiliated. It is intended to be all inclusive resource. 4. IT IS NOT SPAM. Taylorluker 16:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Um, I think you're confused. All I did was close the MFD discussion after the page was deleted. I neither saw the page in question nor did anything do it. Zetawoof_(ζ) 19:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Burrito

hello I wasn't vandalizing...Is not fair..you show the American style...but not the traditional MExican style..Please...you white Americans take everything and try to mess it up with your own crap...please....to be fair please put up the traditional Mexican version.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.70.64.242 (talk • contribs).

So write something about Mexican-style burritos. I will agree that there's a definite lack of information about Mexican burritos in the current article, but deleting half the article doesn't solve that problem. Zetawoof_(ζ) 01:02, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Images Image:Felidae.jpg and Image:Bearspecies.jpg

It is varied, some photographies I took them in the zoological one from zacango in Mexico and others (because in that zoological one they do not have many animal species) I extracted images from Web pages that they indicate "under free licenses" for complement my bearspecies.jpg and felidae.jpg files. Sorry. I do not write english very well. I wait for you could understand the message. Greetings Sergiodlarosa 21:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm continuing the discussion on your talk page. Zetawoof_(ζ) 21:52, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Furry

Looking for something to do? WikiProject Furry is improving articles on furry and anthropomorphic topics, and we'd like to have you on board. Our current goal is to raise Anthrocon, furry convention and furry fandom to good article status and beyond - but if that doesn't take your fancy, there are plenty of other articles to work on. Give it a go and let us know how you're doing! You received this one-time invitation because you are a Furry Wikipedian. GreenReaper 23:25, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry about that. won't happen again --PolarWolf 01:04, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. It's one of those non-obvious things, I guess. Zetawoof_(ζ) 01:07, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Reverting

Reverting me on Deletion review isn't fair dinkum, mate.... g'day to ya, fella. You drunk today or something?? --SpiritDispenser300x3 22:51, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I think you know just as well as I do that listing George W. Bush for deletion review is purely disruptive. Zetawoof_(ζ) 22:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Deep brain stimulation

Thanks for the cleanup; I'm embarrassed that I didn't notice it sooner. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
