Sup?

Hey Homer, just checking to see if you're doing alright. Now go outside and enjoy the weather! Drmies (talk) 18:31, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Until about 10 minutes ago, I was sleeping. Battled insomnia until about 11am then crashed, woke up at 11pm, cause my cat was having a fit (he wanted some attention, so I woke up) and will probably crash again soon. Gets me back on a regular sleep schedule. I am normally a big night owl. :) Otherwise, all is good. :) Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:23, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

You made my day. (pun intended) KimChee (talk) 10:34, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

New compooter!

Tell you what: It was definitely no fun not having me a compooter these last three weeks or so. So, time allowing, I can now pop by once in awhile to see what's going on. Saw you were online; thought I'd say howdy.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:11, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey Dude, was wondering where you had went to. Yeah, I was without my computer (it bonked out on me) for 11 hours and it drove me insane. I had to reset to 2003 specs. That was horrible enough, but being without a 'puter for 3 weeks, I would have went insane. Glad you are back online. :) Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:10, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Got one heck of a deal from a friend who was getting ready to sell some surplus machines from his business. Wound up with an Apple iMac for practically bupkiss. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:15, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

That's a good deal. :) Normally Macs run up in price. Personally, I am a Windows guy, though I was teethed on a Mac, so I could use both. I just don't go to Mac cause some of the programs I use aren't Mac friendly like Digsby. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:18, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I've always been a PC guy as well, but I wasn't about to let this deal go. It's less than three years old and I got it for a bit of cash and some side work for the company. I would have paid more for a new cheapie PC. It was basically an e-mail terminal for the office manager, so the software needed updating. Man, I can't believe how fast this thing is! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:30, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I have heard that Macs are super quick, add Firefox to it and you are just plain zooming. I have had my Dell PC since 2003 and with the exception of that glitch back in 2009, I haven't had any problems *knock on wood*. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:15, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

User:Andyjoe7and8

Regarding the above user, I'm inclined to agree about your assessment on my talk page. However, you can't be sure with 100 percent certainty, so a level of WP:AGF should probably be applied. I personally don't see anything wrong with his edits, aside from the stalking accusation and the talk page comment removal. Falcon8765 21:21, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, was at the doctor (all is well) and didn't get to see everything through. From what I have seen, the constant back and forth edits (the user is beyond 3RR at this point), I believe the user is nothing more than a troll and his edits are just to jerk people around. I will be signing off soon, so I will leave things in the hands of you all. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:08, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Finally

The FAC finally closed. What a relief. Thanks for your support! --JonRidinger (talk) 02:09, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

RE: This edit I have two issues: 1) manual of styles says not to use bolding in cases like this. and 2) is there a source to support the claim? Active Banana ( 21:58, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Answers: 1) that is how we do things at WP:TVS and WP:WPRS and 2) yes, there is. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:01, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

ANI

I have started a thread at WP:ANI about your comments on my talk page titled Neutralhomers refusal to get the point. Inka 01:50, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Friendly still? Talkpage edits?

Hiya Neutralhomer, just letting you know that Inka 888 has been spending their effort using Friendly to add welcome messages (that let new users know they can contact Inka for help). I did leave a polite message advising more personal Misplaced Pages experience should probably be gained before offering to help others.

But anyway, I was just wondering whether (that aside) Inka should be doing this: User_talk:Kalakold (and) http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:Kalakold&diff=prev&oldid=383927655 (or this: User_talk:66.191.247.174 - check history... I cleared an inappropriately given warning on that one).

Anyway, I'm trying to do a quick check to see if there's other things that need cleanup. Curious if someone should replace the welcome templates as well...

Best, RobertMfromLI | User Talk 03:11, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I've tried (suggesting a mentor, acting as a stand in). Inka has been very polite with me, but also indicated he will do what he sees fit (worded as a polite apology if he does not take my advice). Forwarding to Xeno. Thanks, RobertMfromLI | User Talk 04:14, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Xeno's talk page

I'm a little confused as to what you meant by shot down on Xeno's talk page, maybe explain? Inka 03:23, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Provide a diff, I see no use of the term "shot down". - Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:15, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

One more question, if you dont mind. Been looking for the "Status: On/Offline" thing and dunno where it is. Would appreciate it if you could point me in the correct direction. Thanks, RobertMfromLI | User Talk 04:19, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) here, methinks. sonia♫ 04:32, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

That's the other application, but I use Template:Statustop. Either one can be added to your account, just not both. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:36, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

When you have a minute...

...Would you mind adding colourful hidey boxy type things to the admin stuff and who am I sections of my userpage? I just need someone I can trust not to meddle with the rest of it and you were the first stalker who came to mind! ;) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:39, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Sure, you just need a drop down box like what is normally on my userpage (see User:Neutralhomer/Content for example). - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:53, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, but wider and more colourful! ;) Btw, I like the userpage tribute. Very fitting. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:05, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Got a particular color in mind? Thanks, I borrowed that from User:Wolfnix. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:09, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

For the moment, I left it in the orange (since you appear to be away), just let me know what background and text color you want it in and it will be done. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:13, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

RE: WCHA (AM)

I already talked with an admin over the issue. The WCHA (AM) is a proper naming convention for radio stations, esp ones that have similar call letters to other radio stations and organizations. The copy/paste move late last night was me not thinking to get an admin's help with the move. B/c another editor created an improper redirect page WCHA (AM) going to the wrong article. This move frees up WCHA for a redirect to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (commonly called the WCHA) or a disam page. Bhockey10 (talk) 21:13, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

I'd rather just have a redirect straight to the WCHA hockey page. Major sports leagues and college athletic conferences mainly go by their abbreviation. National Hockey League=NHL, National Football League= NFL, etc... A disambig page would be second best, we can always redirect for now and put a discussion on the WCHA's talk page. Bhockey10 (talk) 21:19, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, I'm not just pushing any article around or anything reguarding WP:OWN, just trying to better organize articles and reduce messes like all the WCHA stuff was before the moves... For now I redirected WCHA to the hockey article, but one thing that was missing on that page was a for tag on the top, "For the radio station in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, see WCHA (AM)." Hopefully that all helps readers find the articles, reduce confusion, and flow between them easier Bhockey10 (talk) 21:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

What are you talking about!? "never be a straight redirect..." A disamb pages works but a straight redirect is much more suitable. See: WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, a google search and looking at the history pages will both show the primary topic. Bhockey10 (talk) 22:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

The radio station is not the Primary Topic. If you read WP:PRIMARYTOPIC you will see that. The only one causing an edit war is you!! Bhockey10 (talk) 22:19, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Woah!! who said ANYTHING about favorite! I don't see how i'm violating WP:OWN. And you keep reverting my edits so the only one causing the edit war is you. take it to an Admin I have nothing to hide.Bhockey10 (talk) 22:25, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

At first glance, I'd say a dab page is best as that seems to be the solution we use for other radio stations whose call signs are the same as an acronym in use elsewhere. However I see on Talk:WCHA (AM) that this debate has been played out before and decided in favor of the acronym going to just the radio station. So I'm sorry, but I am not sure enough to have a firm opinion here and don't want to involve myself in the debate. I don't think the page should be redirected to the hockey association however, even if it is the most common use. —Soap— 22:38, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
