Hello, there I am Ceranthor-elda, king of the elves. For many years I have ruled this forest, and my people live in harmony. I go by many names;you may have known me either as LordSunday, Meldshal (a redirect), or Meldshal42.
Work
- Note you can also contact me often on Commons.
Mostly around here I build articles. I also patrol the newpages and recent changes tools. I contribute to AIV and UAA, but mostly focus on AFD and IFD. I'm also responsible for WP:FACIAL with Pedro and Nancy.
So far, I've contributed some featured articles substantially, a bunch of good articles, and and a bunch of featured pictures. As well as a hell lot more of stuff.
I'm the creator of WikiProject Earthquakes, and also actively contribute to WikiProject Volcanoes, and WikiProject Solar System articles, but most of my contributions are towards science.
Got a question? See the talk page!

Stuff
|
Always remember that...
- I am trustworthy, remember that you can always trust me.
- My lifestyle is something in between humorous and boring. I do both, The Raven is something I enjoy, however, I also enjoy Alex Borstein. See the difference?
- I'm artistic. Not in the physical way but the mental. I know most of you are like what?, but for those who this is meant for, well, you understand.
- I am adventurous. I like working on all kinds of new things.
- I enjoy old music (oldies). You may not, but that's quite alright.
- I am not brash. I always take plenty of time before I decide on something.
- This is the most important thing about me — I don't care what you do to me. No matter what, I'll always forgive you.
- Now for the really important stuff:
- I take the idea of "Treat others as you want to be treated" very seriously.
- Also, I take deep offense to anyone who speaks down to me because of my age. Seriously!
- Understand this well. I do not make fun in this above information. Alright!
I was previously known as Meldshal42. I cleaned out my userpage once again because it was overcrowding. In case I am ever checkusered and believed to be a sockpuppet, Zelink546, one of my adoptees, is a real life friend, who has edited from this computer a couple of times.

I've done the copyedit, however I strongly believe you need to expand the article a little, and maybe a peer review, so you meet the FAC. The article can make it, but it needs to be expanded. -- Sk8er5000 (talk) 22:33, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Phoenix14news
I did some major trimming to the article and added sources. And have now just found and added multiple awards from various organizations... 2005: Aegis Awards Winners and finalists recognition, 2006: two awards at the 27th annual Telly Awards, 2007: they won a Radio-Television News Directors Association of the Carolinas (RTNDAC) Award for "Best Student Television Newscast"., 2008: Three awards at the 29th annual Telly Awards, and the 2009 Broadcast Education Association awards. I think it has enough independent notability after being trimmed and properly sourced to exist as a stand-alone. Best regards, Schmidt, 01:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: UAA

Question
I see that WP:DYK has changed the way it formats nominations. Yeah, I haven't nominated anything there since last year. My question is about the "creator" and "nominator" categories. I mean, if the nominator is the one who has significantly improved the article, like from a stub, for example, should that editor still simply be called the nominator? Can that editor also call his or herself the creator?
Sure, technically, another editor beat me in the "race" as to who could be the first to create the Stacey Castor article (though it was not about a race to me, seeing as I did not simply create a stub of it), but I feel that I am the "true creator" of that article (given my edits to it from stub status to significant expansion). There is also the fact that DYK typically treats significant expansions as new articles (if they meat the length requirement to be considered new).
I must say, though, I am having a difficult time coming up with a hook for this article. It has to do with the fact that this criminal case is very recent and asking "Did you know?" in any way about it seems sort of a like a "Duh." Even though I myself did not know about it until that April 24, 2009 20/20 interview. Flyer22 (talk) 22:14, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- I replied on my talk page. Thank you for answering. Flyer22 (talk) 23:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Rjanag slightly changed my edit by putting me down as one of the creators. I suppose I got my wish, LOL. I'll know what to do next time in a case like this, given that edit. Flyer22 (talk) 12:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

It's cited to Allmusic, which is hardly a blog. What made you think Allmusic was a blog? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 20:11, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- You probably saw a mention of the Allmusic blog off in the sidebar. The main biography section of Allmusic, which I've cited in previous DYKs (such as Larry Stewart (singer), my first DYK), is definitely a reliable source. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 20:15, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Arbcom statement
Hi Ceranthor. Can you please clarify your statement at the request for arbitration for Mattisse? (It was me who filed it and not Moni, btw, although it makes me happy that someone could think I was her ;)). I'm unsure what you meant by a "request for the clarification of Mattisse and the ArbCom's opinion on her editing". Requests for clarification are specifically in response to previous arbcom rulings on cases, and to my knowledge there has never been an arbcom case filed on Mattisse before. Karanacs (talk) 20:19, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Earthquake for FA
Hey Ceranthor, I would like to bring Earthquake to FA class. Would you like to collaborate? It needs a lot of work. First we need to take it to GA class and from there to FA. I would like to mention that this would be my first FA effort. If you say yes, then we get going for it. - DSachan (talk) 23:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yup, I know. That's why I contacted you. Alright then, we do it. It is a super important topic. This week I will be slow, but will gather speed from this Saturday (16 May). Thanks for the consent. - DSachan (talk) 09:05, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hello, now I have gathered plenty of references to give the initial push. It seems that the article needs complete rewrite, including shuffling and adding the new sections, adding new material to stubby paragraphs. Cutting down the external links section and adding more useful pictures is also important. I should be able to start soon. - DSachan (talk) 13:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Gareloi Volcano
The article is far from the FA standards, in my opinion. For instance, it contains little information about geology, prehistoric eruptive history, plant and animal life. Some background information about Aleutians should be provided as well. History section should be expanded. By the way, I found an old USGS report, which can be useful.

Thank you
I would like to thank you for coming out and participating in my Request for Adminship, which closed unsuccessfully at (48/8/6) based on my withdrawal. I withdrew because in my opinion I need to focus on problems with my content contributions before I can proceed with expanding my responsibilities. Overall I feel that the RfA has improved me as an editor and in turn some articles which in my eyes is successful. Thank you again for your support. Cheers and happy editing. --kelapstick (talk) 17:48, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Volcanos and earthquakes
Yeah, I'm sorta back, though never to my 1,000-edit-a-month capacity. I've simply decided there are more important things in life than Misplaced Pages: friends, school, girls, etc. Now that doesn't mean I won't be stopping in, but not everyday. Currently I'm working on North Carolinan towns but I should be back to earthquakes in no time. Glad to hear about Nevado. ~EDDY ~ 00:20, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello. You were initially the one who emailed us about my father's page Alexander S. Potupa. I've been working hard to improve his page and added a lot of information including links and citations. I would appreciate if you can take a look and drop me a line if you have any suggestions/corrections. Many thanks.--Elalpo (talk) 21:44, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
earthquakes?
In your article on the 1947 Wisconsin earthquake, you said that "(t)he area hardest hit was a secular 7,770 square kilometres (3,000 sq mi) strip of land".
What do you mean by a secular strip of land? Is that some highly specific meaning of 'secular' with which I'm not familiar, or is it just a mistake in word choice? DS (talk) 16:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Copyedit request
Hello, I have been working feverishly on Hawaii hotspot. It is currently under peer review, so if you can provide feedback that would be great. If you don't feel like making the changes yourself, just tell me what to change and I'll do it! Isn't that how it works? Anyway, comments and/or copyedits to Hawaii hotspot would be great because I am sick of looking at it. I have learned more about plate tectonics than I have ever cared to know, but I think I'm approaching the point of diminishing returns on what I can do for the article. I have arranged the images in a steady, right/left pattern, and there are plenty of images. I have crammed in so many images there isn't room for any more. I have rearranged the order of one section, added points of support for the theory, and added countless references. Portions of the table are still unreferenced, but I think the Emperor's names part will slide as is, hopefully.--ErgoSum•talk•trib 15:50, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
