Welcome!

Hello CFLeon, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me on my talk page or see Misplaced Pages:Where to ask a question. Again, welcome! --Sean|Black 05:27, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Dinosaur articles

Hi CFLeon, I was working on Monoclonius today, and noticed it was in a lot better shape than when I had last left it a few days ago. Checking the edit history, I noticed your edits, which are quite welcome and of obvious high quality. Your edit history also shows a pattern of editing many dinosaur aticles. With that in mind, I thought I'd invite you to join Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Dinosaurs, a project that develops the Misplaced Pages articles on dinosaurs. You're not on our modest list of members, but would be, I can see from your edits, a welcome addition. I hope you'll consider it, because you would be a big boon to our group. Take care, --Firsfron 01:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Saw your name added to the list of members. Welcome. :) --Firsfron of Ronchester 04:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC) 
- cool editing, amazing how the articles meld and grow really. I'm new to this too

Aku-Aku

FYI: Aku-Aku is by Thor Heyerdahl; you mistakenly added it to Ivan T. Sanderson. - DavidWBrooks 23:25, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction. My mistake. I misread my note about The Dynasty of Abu. CFLeon 23:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

The Beatles (Cartoon Series)

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a quick look at Google and found some interesting stuff. As we at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject The Beatles are always keen to get new input, could I ask if you would like to write the article? Please make your answer known at Talk:The Beatles. We also have a project, if you are inclined to become a member.LessHeard vanU 12:04, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

crocodilian.com

If you want to add alink to this generic crocodilians site, either do it on crocodylus or crocodylidae, or link to a page in the site that specifically discuss the Cuban Crocodile. Otehrwise, it is considered link spam. Circeus 01:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

You obviously have never been to the site, then. There are pages for each particular species. It is THE website for ANYTHING to do with Crocodilia. A bit poor on the evolution of the group, perhaps, but I challenge you to find any site that's better. CFLeon 01:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I am not complaining about the site itself. I am merely observing that the page you link to has nothing to do specifically with the species you link from. Searching the site for an appropriate page to link to is not my duty, it's yours to do before linking. Circeus 02:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Have you even so much as read my comments above and Samir's under? Circeus 02:35, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Have the courtest to answer my question, I asked first. WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST THE SITE? Maybe they don't pay you scratch? CFLeon 02:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


Cuban Crocodile

Hey CFLeon, a couple of things,

  1. I changed the crocodilian.com link to the Cuban Crocodile subpage.
  2. Probably not necessary to use a test template on User:Circeus's page; he's an administrator and a reasonable guy and it would be easy just to talk to sort things out.

Thanks and hope that the above meets with your approval -- Samir धर्म 01:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Please let me be more frank. Do not place warning templates on Circeus's page for removing spam. It is not the correct use for them. Instead, discuss the issue on talk pages. Thank you -- Samir धर्म 02:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
"a reasonable guy"? then why does he keep on showing bias against the link, to the point of following me and reverting the edits? Sounds more like either a personal bias or a conflict of financial interests to me. "Reasonable people" don't keep on reverting edits without the courtesy of reply.

To you, Samir: thanks for the direct link, but a couple of points:

  • I find all the time links on Wiki pages to the home page of a site. Thought it was the way Wiki did things, and I agree with this. I personally prefer to be directed to the home page of a site unless it's some general thing like Straight Dope. or Wiki itself. I have the homepage bookmarked, and I give the average reader enough credit to find things on their own once they find the site, especially when there's a Table of Contents. (You want "linkspam"? Try some of the entries which list every page on a site, even when there's several on the same site.)
  • The guy has just been rude to me personally. That's NOT "reasonable", and I respond in type.
  • I'll keep on reverting his edits until Doomsday until he shows me some courtesty. CFLeon 02:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
