Happy holidays

Hope all is going well with you, my friend. bibliomaniac15 21:44, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. Thank you. Things are.. well, things. If you feel like restarting our back and forth, I'd like to. If you'd prefer not, I understand of course. // roux   07:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
No worries. I stalk your talk page, so I know what's going on. I'd love to resume our discussion; I'd expect it to be much more informal though. bibliomaniac15 17:59, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Well.. it didn't strike me as particularly formal before? Maybe I'm missing something.. // roux   19:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

WikiCup

Begins tomorrow! at 0:00 (UTC)
Some quick reminders and amendments
  • This year a bot will be tallying the scores for the tournament. This bot will be run by ST47 and will count edits–at 0.1 points each (major edits only, see below)–and submissions at the scores listed in the tables.
  • You must submit any work that you manage to promote in each period on your submissions page. Your page is located here. Rules and instructions are here for submitting.
  • Due to the massive influx of Huggle users, and because this is a content contest rather than an editcountitis extravaganza, minor edits will be scored at only 0.01 points. If you are a Huggle user your edits must be marked as minor or you will be disqualified. If you are unsure, check your contributions.
  • If you wish to drop out before the tournament begins, please do so as soon as possible, but not later than January 5.
Most importantly, good luck! Happy New Years, Garden. and ayematthew 20

Happy New Year!

A cat to ease all of your troubles
A cat to ease all of your troubles
 Happy New Year!
Hey there, Roux! Happy new Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;)

Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh.

Best wishes, neuro 00:58, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Your RfA

Good luck! - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 11:32, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Would you consider withdrawing Misplaced Pages:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:DJ_WikiBob/Sandbox_2 in light of changes and discussion? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 17:39, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. By the way, File:Sphinx2_July_2006.jpg is scaring the bejesus out of me. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
No problem. As for the cat, blame Raul.. he's the one who makes the Daily Kittens. // roux   02:59, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, as a random question, how does your signature change with every post? --Dylan620 (Contribs · Sign!) 11:59, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

You are invited to participate in Yip Pin Xiu's peer review

Happy New Year, Roux! May you have a wonderful 2009! Thanks for peer reviewing Denise Phua; that article has just passed GA. As part of my efforts to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of Singaporean anti-discrimination, I have written an article about Singaporean Paralympic swimmer Yip Pin Xiu. I invite you to give the article a thorough review. Thank you for your kind attention. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 04:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Your signature is not working in some templates

Hi Roux, I've noticed that your signature is coming out garbled in the welcomeg template. For example, User talk:Qurota. Don't know if it's something that you can do anything about, but thought I would let you know. Cheers, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 20:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Aye.. it's when SQLbot adds the welcome template after I create an account, I think. Something buggy over at ACC tool. // roux   21:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Just a note on this Roux - are you templating your sig as it's not permitted - see Misplaced Pages:SIG#NoTemplates. I just saw it on the RFA you just commented on and wondered. Cheers! Pedro :  Chat  12:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
It's subst'd, no different than a normal sig. // roux   13:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
See the above my man Substitution of templates in signatures is also not allowed, as any such template either will violate the reasonable length restriction of 255 characters or will be redundant to using the same content as a raw signature. - sig's are defined from your preferences not a "subst:" Pedro :  Chat  13:06, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
The formatting breaks when used via prefs. Garden does the same thing, it causes no harm.// roux   13:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
So I noticed - User:Garden/s. I'm afraid that your argument that "it does no harm" is moot - as the above policy I linked to says transcluding your sig is specifically not allowed so you'll have to create it via your prefs. Sorry. Pedro :  Chat  13:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about this...

Hi, roux! Sorry about butting in at the account creation tool on creating User:Skyrandom. While I was checking it, you had placed the "being marked" tag (which I of course, forgot to do) and created the account while you were checking. Sorry about that. Chamal 10:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

You've messaged me while I was typing the earlier message :) Yes, I noticed it earlier, but forgot to do it and just carried on with the usual way. Chamal 10:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
