Thanks for the first post! :P I'll make sure to read all of those. Just curious, but what article did you find my username on? — flamingspinach | (talk) 23:56, 2005 Mar 2 (UTC)

See, not so lonley now. -- Dbroadwell 01:16, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Heh, I knew that would provoke someone :) Hmm, I suppose I should provide some history for the hypothetical casual reader of my talk page (@_@) - in #wikipedia on Freenode, people were talking about the new messages dialogue, and I commented that I had only seen it once and was a lonely person. :P Er... can't find the new messages template... sorry... — flamingspinach | (talk) 01:20, 2005 Mar 7 (UTC)

For your rapid-fire anagrammatical intellect (or something like that...), here's a jumbo wikicookie. -- BRIAN0918  04:05, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I totally wasnt aware, thanks! Will maybe sit and do a few off one time!

Thanks - you'd be helping out the internet. :) (For the record, this is in reference to a comment I made in Selphie's talk page about isnoop.net's gmail spooler.) — flamingspinach | (talk) 01:46, 2005 Apr 4 (UTC)

You sure can edit my pages.

Awesome, will do. (For the record, I had asked

20:47, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)

You asked me about the 'test' tag I added. Sorry, that was my mistake... I misread the page history on a page and thought that you had created it. The history had only two entries, the page creation and a speedy delete. I read them backwards and thought you had created the page when you had added the speedy delete. I realized the mistake and took it off your talk page. Sorry about that! -Gblaz 13:16, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ah, got it. Thanks for being vigilant! :P — flamingspinach | (talk) 21:10, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! I wrote that months ago and completely forgot about the change. Are you a seti person, too? --Mothperson cocoon 12:18, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I sure am! BTW, what do you mean "the change"? AFAIK it is impossible for any domain name to contain an @ symbol... — flamingspinach | (talk) 15:46:44, 2005-07-30 (UTC)

Thanks for that18:54, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for that 19:01, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

You tagged

Sorry, I acted in haste. It seemed to me that Van der Veer should be a disambiguation page for various people with such a name, and since Google returns almost equal numbers of hits for "Van der Veer" and "Vandiver", I didn't think that labeling the former as an archaic version of the latter was completely appropriate. Perhaps an adaptation from information at this site would be in order? In any case, do what you think best. Sorry about that. — flamingspinach | (talk) 00:11, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The curly qotes around

I came across the BS article at the same time. Not sure how to nominate for speedy deletion so I just quickly erased the page and hit save. Must have got your deletion by accident. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers or mess with your work. Thanks for the heads up on speedy deletion. I am somewhat new to WP so I am still learning all of the ins and outs--Looper5920 06:32, 13 December 2005 (UTC) I had planned on getting rid of it. Just got lazy. --Looper5920 06:52, 13 December 2005 (UTC)Thanks for the reminder to do it.[reply]

Thanks for the clarification.

Ummm... I'm rather embarrassed to see that there was a question for me way up there that I haven't answered in, what, ten months? Just in case you're still dying to find out the answer, I expect I didn't even notice what article you were editing: saw the red link, saw you hadn't been vandalizing, so welcomed you! Hmmm, sounds rather impersonal when put like that. Anyway, I guess I should be more attentive and notice when someone asks me a question...

Regarding your recent questions, I have posted His Eminence's biography on behalf of the Western Diocese. If you have any questions regarding this article please feel free to eMail me at [email protected]

Peace,

Can you change where it goes for me? (and tell me what you did) I've edited articles anon for a while and then a little as a reg'd user but that's my first new article and I'm a bit clueless when it comes to using the wiki editing tools. I was hoping I would offend enough english majors into editing it into something a little more presentable! ;) Nemesis75 23:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm sorry, I added a bunch of articles at once and haven't had a chance to summarize it yet. That's why I left a link. When I get the chance I'll go through and fix them so I won't quote directly.

I,m been shocked you blamed me used help to ask for question. I think i not wrong by do that because my ex-helper offer the help warmly. If you not want to help just forget it. You should know Wikipedia is wide hard to found something we want.Aleenf1 06:28, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe that this warrants a CSD notice as Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools indicates that school articles are to be kept and expanded. There is always a lot of talk generated when someone nominates a school article for deletion on AfD. This article needs a lot of cleaning up and expanding but it is not inherently worthless. The school does exist, according to Google.co.uk.  (aeropagitica)  20:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! I have taken the good advice that you left for me on my Talk page and have attempted to do a NPOV re-write of St Mungo's Primary School. There is a little more information there now than previously and the categories and stubs have also been added. I would welcome any more comments that you have on this subject.

I happened to read your comment to the edibleOmplaLoompa about hidden Wikipedia traditions. I don't really have a tradition for you, but I have a hidden maintence job you might be interested in: Recently, the developers added a footnote feature to MediaWiki(the software the site runs on). Before that, footnotes were done with two templates {{ref}} and {{note}}. There are many thosands of pages that need to be translated from the old to the new system. If you're interested, head over to Template_talk:Ref and look around...

Oh, and, in case you haven't heard of it, you do not need to take any pages that need to be deleted to

Hi, I have seen that you are using the Cacycle editor extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor wikEd.

wikEd has all the functionality of the old editor plus: • syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • more fixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages • convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjust the font size • and much, much more.

Switching to wikEd is easy, check the detailed installation description on its project homepage. Usually it is as simple as changing every occurrence of editor.js into wikEd.js on your User:YourUsername/monobook.js page.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 00:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't accept your definition of Clouds not being 'notable'. If you read the sources I left at the foot of the page, you'd find all the sources and verification you need. A cursory glance at Amazon. com, both in the Uk and the Usa, will show you who Clouds were. If you checked the Clouds website (www.cloudsmusic.com) as I originally suggested, you'd find yet more articles and references, including the 4 page MOJO Magazine article about Clouds/1-2-3 which credited them with 'The Birth of Prog', and in which, David Bowie describles Billy Ritchie as 'an unrecognised genius'. 'The History of Scottish Rock & Pop' is a BBC book (Guinness Publishing) - there seems ample source confirmation of everything said in the article. Unless the criteria is something completely different than I understand it to be, I don't see how the band can be dismissed as 'not notable'. Please re-check sources, and advise...thank you

A tag has been placed on

section A5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article consists of a dictionary definition or other article that has been transwikied

to another project and the author information recorded.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GManNickG (talk) 18:43, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
