Cricket

Welcome to my talk page. Post new message. E-mail (angelaatwikipedia@yah00.co.uk.)

Anything you write here may be archived (1,2,3,4), summarised, moved or deleted.

Vandals posting here will be eaten by Anthère's Cricket.

One can but hope. RickK

Is there an Uneat option, or should we have a Vote for Uneating page? And would the cricket's eating pattern be by consensus? If not, what will GrahamN say? :-) FearÉIREANN


Neustadt the town didn't die

Heh-heh, yes it was a surprise to click on it and get a long list of cities! My first Main Page edit... Stan 01:51, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Archiving talk pages

Hola Angelita, I created a new help page: Wikipedia:How to archive a Talk page Perhaps you could look and see if anything catches your eye. Thanks. -- Viajero 16:44, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Updated Wikipedia talk:How to archive a Talk page; hope I understood your explanation. -- Viajero 18:19, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Land-grant university

Hi Angela. It seems that you have undeleted Land-grant university, and your comments in summary fields suggest that you do not understand why it is deleted.

The reason was written on talk:Land-grant university. Now, that page was deleted together when the article was deleted. The talk page remains deleted while the article is now undeleted. I would suggest you to read that deleted talk page.

I do not understand well the deletion policy in English Wikipedia - so maybe it should really be kept, or maybe not. Tomos 23:05, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

You're a sysop on meta, right? Could you take a look, I think Michael is vandalizing it?

The header pretty much says it all. If I misremember, maybe you know somene who is a sysop on meta? -- Cimon Avaro on a pogostick 23:18, Nov 10, 2003 (UTC)

Kwena

Well, I did mean to blackout Kwena - I replaced it with Bakoena, and since it is only (currently) Qwaqwa that links to it, it doesn't cause too much damage. Bakoena is more linguisticaly correct than Kwena/Koena - the latter is an animal name, whilst the former is a proper noun meaning "those of the Kwena". ZyXoas 06:39, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Good news

He ! the good news is that I will have more time for simple perhaps :-) ant

User:Niceguy

Hi, my conclusion when I looked at the History of Problem users was the same: that Niceguy is probably Nico. If that happens to be the case, Nico was alterted in a non-confrontational way that his actions were observed. In any case, my attempt to get the two to drop their mutual recriminations on that page has been a failure. -- Viajero 18:13, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Why's it not on Google?

Hey, I was just wondering why the Google search engine doesn't show the results for newer articles. TopCamel 18:48, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Google takes a while to get new pages into their searches. RickK 16:32, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

The page that the Hale image came from claims that the image is copyrighted. Do we really want to get into a legal battle over it? RickK 22:51, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I've contacted Ms. Greenberg, I will report on her response. RickK 23:17, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Adam the problem user

I'm well aware that I can't remove myself from Problem Users, and I fully expected my self-deletion to be reverted at once. I did it to show up the arbitrariness of EdPoor's decision to remove all criticism of Aplank. I was listed as a problem user for entirely frivolous and vexatious reasons, and that was why I counter-listed Aplank . If he is entitled to have all criticism deleted, then so should I be. (I actually think Problem Users ought to be abolished, since it serves no purpose other than to encourage this kind of childish argument.) Adam 01:34, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Following Angela's advice (excellent advice as always), I have removed Problem Users from my watchlist and will refrain from further such arguments, which demean everyone involved. I apologise for being, in a general sense, a problem user: I have a fairly short fuse in such matters, and I should stick to writing articles. I think also that I will have to withdraw from Mother Teresa (historiographically speaking), since that article seems beyond salvation by means of reasonble debate. Adam 04:29, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Normalizing that image

Nevermind. Daniel Quinlan 14:32, Nov 12, 2003 (UTC)

Sorry

You wrote me a nice little welcome message and I didn't even say thanks, so here is my thanks. ^-^

Trillium picture

Hi Angela. The lovely picture labelled Trillium.jpg is not actually a Trillium. I deleted it from the Trillium page, but how do we delete it from the system and replace it with a valid picture? I don't have any copyright-free pics on hand right now, but could probably find one. -- WormRunner 17:54, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Copyvio?

I have discovered that my article, Alternative Metal, was placed in the copyvio page. I request that a reason be stated. BTW thanks for answering my previous query Angela. -- TopCamel 20:45, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Illuminati Order

Illuminati Order, which you moved from vfd to vfd/copyvio, is being edited. Should it be reverted back to the copyvio notice? Maximus Rex 21:18, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Copyvio

I used the Internet, books, and my own prior knowledge to write Alternative Metal, but if one decides to compose, for example, a summary based on a web page, is this considered a copyvio? Again thanks for the reply, it is appreciated that you are helping a new Wikipedian. -- TopCamel 21:36, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Personal attacks

If you're going to remove personal attacks on Mathieugp from the Talk:Quebecois page, how about taking out Mathieugp's attacks on me and other contributors? As I recall, I've been called a moron and brainwashed. And while I have offered to work with Mathieugp on the article, even I can see that the personal attacks began with him. Trontonian 23:03, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt response, Angela. I'm glad to know you weren't providing preferential treatment to the French guy. I prefer to leave Mathieugp's comments in -- you might have to be a Canadian to understand why. Trontonian 23:21, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

What personal attacks? You are entitled to your point of view. Period. But don't impose your translation on my words and delete them to suit your particular view. NightCrawler 00:10, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Next: On Torontonian's page you said: It had been brought to my attention that NightCrawler had been making attacks, so it was his edit I looked at. - Dear Angela: that is an attack by you on me. Please in future say the followeing: It has been alleged by someone that NightCrawler had been making attacks....

I won't revert your deletions of Mathieugp, Angela. I appreciate your efforts. You can take out some of my comments, too, if you'd like. I thought Mathieugp's comments were an interesting example of a way of thinking peculiar to Canada, but on the whole I guess that doesn't justify breaching Wikipedia's rule, which certainly is well justified. I haven't looked at NightCrawler's comments, by the way, so I'm not saying that deletion was justified or unjustified. Trontonian 00:16, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hello. I am new to Wikipedia, but I had read the rules before signing in. I am not certain what personal attacks (by me) you removed. Could you please let me know what you removed, and why you did so on my page? I think I can admit I am the root of the problem in all this. :-) I meant no personal attacks. I just was so angry that the same few people kept putting back all kinds of unfounded and irrelevant comments bashing half the population of Quebec in a page supposed to describe who Quebecers are. In my last comments, I have suggested that Quebecois should point to Quebecers in a disambiguation page. The majority of English-speakers on this planet don't know anything about Quebecers in general and the word Quebecois is non-existent in Amerian, British or Australian English. I have open the door to Canadians expressing their views on the subject of Quebec politics in a page dedicated to this. In any case, I am sorry for all this. I am well aware that this probably looks ridiculous from the outside. --Mathieugp

What you removed deserved to be removed. I have no complains. --Mathieugp


Khranus

Please unblock the username Khranus. I'm getting tired of generating random IPs. You apparently know nothing of the 'conflict' that's arisen over my editing wikipedia articles. It is frankly none of your business. Khranus

Intel 4004 anniversary on the 15th -- please put on front page

Yep, hi there -- subject line says it all I think; see Intel 4004. This may be said to be quite an important anniversary, insomuch as we are now all using microprocessors ad nauseam... Wernher

Hi again; regarding the to-do list you messaged me for the 4004 article -- how about its state now? I did a little fixing here and there, and will 'nominate' the article for Anniversary Main Page presence. Wernher 23:41, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks WormRunner 20:44, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Problem users

You said on my talk page: If you wish to raise such issues, please do not create new pages on which to do so. Thank you. Angela 21:46, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC) - Regret, I don't understand so perhaps you would be kind enough to claify for me. First I put this on a the Problem User page but User Martin deleted it and I'm still waiting to learn where his authority is for that. Next, I do note there are pages at Wikipedia called "John Doe: Problem User." Perhaps you could simply direct me to the policy page that states who has the exclusive authority to create such pages. Thank you for your help. NightCrawler 22:39, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Thank you for the response on my talk page. Unfortunately you gave no answer and the Problem User page does not authorize anyone to delete (yes it is deleted from the page) what I wrote in good faith as a dedicated contributor. Loose generalities that one person can simply dictate to another what he/she can or cannot do is a contradiction of written Wikipedia policy. So, please either do not delete my sincere efforts to help and improve Wikipedia without following written policy. From what I have read, my contributions and honest input is equal to everyone else. I note you created a special Problem User page. Where is your written authority to exclusively do that and where does that state that I can't?

Thank you. NightCrawler 23:13, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Just for the record. I think Wikilove and etiquette and other nice stuff might not have been created with this kind of wording in mind: There is no policy stating who may create such pages, just common sense and a knowledge of how the problem users page works. Given you chose to create a page for someone else but deleted my page because you claim I have no common sense, falls short of Wikilove, hugs, kisses etc. Don't you think? NightCrawler 23:21, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Please do what you think best regarding the Sandbox, my concern was to get the history of the two pages intact, and I think I may have botched that. It appeared that the original author of the Raqs al sharqi had originally composed it in the Sandbox and then moved the Sandbox to the article namespace. - Hephaestos 23:19, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Keep up the good work, Angela. -- Tim Starling 23:43, Nov 13, 2003 (UTC)

I note your comment on my talk page about how I should create a page that I may or may not do. I do have some questions on this which I'm sure you will be able to help me with but I will wait for your reply to my previous question before anything further. Thank you, I look forward to your reply. NightCrawler 01:40, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)


Well that's nice. I'm glad you look forward to it. As looking forward to things is a nice feeling, I'm sure I shall be doing you a favour by delaying my response and letting you look forward to it for longer. Possibly indefinitely. Wikilove, Angela

Please participate in the new meta-article Naming conventions (Mormonism). Thanks. --B 05:47, Nov 14, 2003 (UTC)
