New Topic

Thanks for the Barnstar

I appreciate the Barnstar and the gracious way you handled our dispute. It's kind of odd being on the other side of the fair use argument. (Normally, I'm the champion riding that horse!) Out of this whole thing I'm gaining a better understanding of the copyright law, which is always good.

Anyway, I hope we end up on the same side someday. Let me know if I can assist with an issue somewhere. Normally I moderate and work on the good articles page. --CTSWyneken 01:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

If you'd seen the way others have acted in intense controversy, you'd see that your actions, rise to mildly irritated. 8-) --CTSWyneken 10:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Scouting Barnstar

- A hearty thank you for your steadfast, tireless, and quality contributions to Scouting articles over many months. Rlevse 02:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use in portals

I created an amendment for fair use in portals, as well as submitted to village pump, see here: Misplaced Pages:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals#Also. It would be great if you could express your support there. ddcc 21:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

LSU tigers deletion nomination

I'm not nominating these articles because I think they are bad articles, or are poorly referenced, I'm nominating them because its silly to have a unique page for each season of each team for one sport for each school in Division 1. Any easy fix for this would be to merge them into one article for each team, with a different section for each season/year. If you all don't agree, then you're blind to your own bias, and life will go on. DesertSky85451 00:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. I won't use the phrase "blind to your own bias" because I think it is a bit rude, but perhaps you should examine your own bias before you make claims about anyone else's? Even if you don't think that college football is important, you may want to consider that perhaps lots of Misplaced Pages readers do think it is important and would expect us to contain thorough knowledge of the topic. Johntex\

I don't know shit about LSU, or the Longhorns, and I don't care, but I also don't like the deletion of useful information from Misplaced Pages. I do, however, like a neat and orderly wikipedia, and these articles offend my sense of cleanliness. What is your objection to a merger into one article for each school's football program? DesertSky85451 00:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps seaons by decades, like LSU has for 1893-1899 > see here? There has to be a way to make this neater. DesertSky85451 01:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I recognize that there are very few of these articles, but I'm worried that we're headed down a slippery slope. Soon there will be articles for Duke Blue Devils 1975 basketball season, Baylor Bears 1955 bible-thumping season and Harvrd Crimson 1990 lacrosse season. Where will it end? Also, do I actually stand a chance of getting these merged, or should I just give up? DesertSky85451 01:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

You're an admin, so tell me: How do I withdraw the deletion nomination? DesertSky85451 15:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for being willing to talk about this. I'm going to assume that since you and I tend to feel the same way about an overabundance of articles on this encyclopedia that you'll be a force for reason and restraint in College 'ball wikiproject. I think the lesson I'll take away from this is to start the dialog more gently next time instead of using an AfD. Time for me to take my deletionist agenda elsewhere. DesertSky85451 16:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

response to greeting.

Thank you for the message you sent me.

AfD closing

Could you do it? There are lots of pages....? Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 20:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh thanks

Yes, I am feeling sad at so much of wastage of resources at useless discussion here. I feel a bit relieved that there are wikipedians like you who care about fello-wikipedians. Thnaks. --Bhadani 02:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Arch Coal

re Arch Coal - I agree - in fact I think WP:CORP should change to indicate taht NYSE listing is enough - the requirements to be on the exchange are onerous enough. And Arch Coal seems an obvious keep to me - but having a discussion about a product - that would be like having an article on my Pilot G-5 pens - probably more well known, and more widely used. --Trödel 17:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Thx for the comments - I support such a change to WP:CORP - as, unlike some other exchanges, the NYSE requiurements are well known and clearly indicate notability - I bet London does too.

Personally, I think such products should be aggregated, and standards of notability set like for music albums must do this - singles must do that if not singles go on the album site, if album not notable goes on singers article, etc. But developing the standard would probably be difficult. --Trödel 18:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, a sad day for all Longhorns. Thanks for your excellent additions to the article. I'll certainly be sure to visit the new Silver Spur/BEVO Center when it opens later this year. - Bevo 14:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

Johntex, thank you so much! That has really made my day. :-) SlimVirgin 00:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Housewife Bangers

First of all, hi! Second of all, i'm not a porn star *snicker*. Three, I have sales figures I found on a DVD site that i can add. I also think this movies won a AVN Award too. Please bear with me, its my first article and its a work in progress ok? :) UCF Cheerleader 01:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Hehe...Oooh you bad boy you! Encouraging me to do porn already? hmmm.... :) In any case, I used[REDACTED] for a while before registering an account. I made some edits without an account before but just miscellaneous stuff. Cya.UCF Cheerleader 01:56, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Did you see what that guy left on my talk page about my photo? Doesn't anyone bother to read things anymore? Jeez...UCF Cheerleader 02:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

He removed all the categories the page was placed in so i re-added them. ~Cooljuno411

Something you wrote...

"The German Misplaced Pages has run afoul of German law before and content has had to be removed on more than one occasion. One of these cases dealt with holocaust-denial. I don't remember the details at the moment, but I can find them for you if need be."

I think this is in error, you might want to review the facts again. :) --Jimbo Wales 14:18, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Jimbo - Thanks for the message. When/where did I say that? I don't recall ever doing so. I can easily believe I did though - judging by the quote - it looks like I was admitting to being uncertain about the details. I'll certainly endeavor to be more careful. I'm sorry for creating confusion. Best, Johntex\ 14:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... I still don't know why/when I made that statement. But in trying to retrace my steps, I did find German Misplaced Pages threatened with injunction, which does say the site had to be taken offline temporarily. I'll do more research later. Johntex\ 15:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, don't trust the media. There were widespread reports that German Misplaced Pages was taken offline, all completely false. here is the quote --Jimbo Wales 14:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

New Pictures

Hey John I managed to make it out to the Baylor game so I took some pics. I saw the image on the Longhorn Band and noticed you uploaded it, didn't want to replace it without asking you first. I uploaded the image to the right and you can use it if you want for that article. If you need other images from the Baylor game, let me know and I'll see what I can scrounge up. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enoch Lai (talk • contribs) 19:40, 2006 October 16 (UTC) Johntex\ 10:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Enoch, that is great! We can always use more images. I see you added a Baylor pic for the 2006 page. Although I am fond of the UT band picture I put on that article, it has always bugged me that the safety net from behind the goalposts is in the way. Yours is a better image so I am making the swap. I think mine is availalbe on Commons, so I'll add a like to Commons as well. Thanks for the new pictures! Best, Johntex\ 10:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Boy Scout article

We have another one. See the revert war and Controversies section of the talk page. What should we do here? I'm so sick of the agendaists that constantly attack Scouting in wiki and won't follow policy. Rlevse 09:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

hi

hi how are you? are you an administrator? UCF Cheerleader 20:08, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Whitman...again

If you're around and willing to help, I wouldn't mind if you'd help me keep an eye on the Charles Whitman article. It seems our friend John Moore has returned with his trolling ways, and I'm wary of violating WP:3RR myself. Much thanks. Sherurcij 01:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes

I'm having a good week, although its ridiculously hot outside haha! Anyway hun, I think I will be around for a while, I need an ally/mentor to help me out, show me the ropes, etc. People are starting already to give me shit over some Articles for Deletion I proposed.

Maybe I can become an administrator too in time. I was thinking about doing some stripping on the side also. But we'll save that for another day. Bye for now --UCF Cheerleader 03:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Johntex, you may be interested in this. Best, Gwernol 13:37, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

DYK: World's Largest Texas Flag

Well, I think I added it to the template page correctly. Thanks for the suggestion. Mishatx 06:56, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up on the Largest Flag article, I'll keep a look out on the DYK section ;). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enoch Lai (talk • contribs) 06:48, 2006 October 20 (UTC)

Um...

Hey listen . . . my "part time" boyfriend has been pressuring me to have anal sex with him and I haven't done it yet. Do you think I should? What if I learn about anal sex and then use that info to contribute to the Anal Sex article? What do you think? UCF Cheerleader 02:39, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
