== Surviving ==

Why did you move the listing off the VfD page? [[User:RickK|Rick]]'''[[User talk:RickK|'''K''']] 05:36, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)

But won't we lose the VfD discussion if the article is deleted? Or are you planning of having orphan Talk pages floating around? [[User:RickK|Rick]]'''[[User talk:RickK|'''K''']] 05:42, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)

==contents not page==

Obviously I should have said "deleted contents" instead of "deleted page". Thank you for correcting me. [[User:Alteripse|Alteripse]] 16:54, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

==The guy I blocked==

Don't worry about me. I'll be able to handle him. I'll protect/lock my user page. [[User:WhisperToMe|WhisperToMe]] 02:38, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

:I believe [[User:Mr. Treason]] is also 205.188.116.84.. He/she vandalized WhisperToMe's talk page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:WhisperToMe&action=history]. I'm new at this so I have only blocked the IP for 24 hours, please feel free to extend it in accordance with the ban of Mr. Treason if you agree with my actions.

==Fruitcake==

I see you and I and have a few similar interests. Engineering, Hurricanes, Texas, and possibly fruitcake. Have you ever tried the fruitcake from the Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana? It is actually good. It is mostly pecans with a little batter to hold them together. Call me crazy. [[User:H2O|H2O]] 22:11, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

:I'm not a big fan of fruitcake, although I don't have the hatred for it some people do. I wrote [[fruitcake]] mostly because it was listed on [[Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics]] as not existing, and it seemed like an easy enough subject to get a stub written on.

:I've never spent any significant time in [[Corsicana, Texas|Corsicana]], so I wasn't even aware of the bakery. If you're knowledgeable enough about it, you might want to add a mention to the article on the city. It's a spartan Ram-bot stub at the moment.

:I'll keep it in mind for the next time I'm passing through the area though. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]]|[[User talk:Cyrius|✎]] 22:23, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I did add a little note about the bakery. I found their website and after reading their history I'm not sure they don't deserve their own article. Check out their customer list.

:If you do decide to write an article on [[Collin Street Bakery]], be careful to include plenty of historical information and reasons it's notable. You wouldn't want it deleted as an ad. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]]|[[User talk:Cyrius|✎]] 04:49, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Good advice. Mr. "[[Bluccleuch Scotch Beef|Bluccleuch]]" failed to do that, didn't he. Good grief, who would write an ad like THAT. Probably just a fan that can't spell. [[User:H2O|H2O]] 05:03, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

==Hollywood Jam, etc==

Hi Cyrius. Thanks for your feedback on "Hollywood Jam" and "Tiny Toons". I have posted you a reply on my user discussion page on Wiktionary. These were the only two offending articles. — [[User:Paul G|Paul G]] 15:08, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

==Back==

Just thought I'd let you know I was back, since you wanted to put me on RfA around today. :) [[User:Snowspinner|Snowspinner]] 20:04, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)

== substub ==

I replied to your post on [[Wikipedia talk:substub]]. This is a fun debate! [[User:Mike Storm|[[User:Mike Storm|Mike Storm]] <small>[[User talk:Mike Storm|(Talk)]]</small>]] 13:33, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

== Tweaks to Monobook ==

I accidentally came across [[User:Cyrius/monobook.css]] and was wondering what that does. I can follow directions pretty well but the directions on the page don't tell me where to paste this. Hmm... might this be one of those things where 'If you don't know, don't even think about it?' Oh, and I ''love'' your [[User:Cyrius/Quotes|big page o'quotes]] -- I just put it on my watchlist. [[User:SWAdair|SWAdair]] | [[User talk:SWAdair|Talk ]] 08:20, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

*Thank you for the pointer. Now to play with this... [[User:SWAdair|SWAdair]] | [[User talk:SWAdair|Talk ]] 23:41, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! [[User:WHEELER|WHEELER]] 14:46, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

==Vandalism==

It's OK, there's nothing wrong with me. I guess my password was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I suppose the vandal saw me in RC and decided to have a little fun. Good day. _{Peace Profound[[User:Merovingian/other#The Remember Tag|!]]} --[[User:Merovingian|<span style="color:green;">Merovingian</span>]]<big>&#9997;</big>[[User talk:Merovingian|<span style="color:orange;">Talk</span>]] 03:36, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I read your note. _{Peace Profound[[User:Merovingian/other#The Remember Tag|!]]} --[[User:Merovingian|<span style="color:green;">Merovingian</span>]]<big>&#9997;</big>[[User talk:Merovingian|<span style="color:orange;">Talk</span>]] 03:45, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

Considering the political climate, it might be best to avoid quotables, as the interesting ones tend to be ones that we disagree with. -[[User:Stevertigo|S]][[User_talk:Stevertigo|V]] 05:02, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

==Cookies==

Oh, I really shouldn't have. But if you insist. Just one, okay? Mmm, maybe two? Oh, Gawd, I can't help myself! Thank you. Mmph. [[User:RickK|Rick]][[User talk:RickK|K]] 06:20, Aug 7, 2004 (UTC)

*Yum...snarf...crunch...oh dat be good. Thanks! Cookies rule! - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 03:22, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

== Substubs ==

Since you participated in the discussion on this subject, could you express your opinion on what to do with the substub template at [[Template talk:Substub]]? Thanks. --[[User:Michael Snow|Michael Snow]] 21:21, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

== I've looked at that page ==

and it doesn't suck. +[[User:Sj|+sj]][[User Talk:Sj|<span style="color:#ff6996;">+</span>]] 01:39, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Oh, and nice stylesheet!

== response to user talk ==

Hi Cyrius

Thanks for -

:For future reference, if you see something you think really absolutely justifies being deleted immediately, tag it with <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki>. That will mark the page as a candidate for speedy deletion.

Yes, I read about this tag. After I cleared the page I was wondering "what is the proper way to get rid of such execrable material?", so I looked it up. Thanks for the tip anyway -- [[User:AndrewKepert|Andrew Kepert]] 07:42, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

==Re: [[Tropical Storm Danielle]]==

'''[[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] wrote:'''

Please, please, ''please'' don't create articles for weak storms that haven't done anything, and aren't likely to! The main reason for the season articles is to allow for descriptions of these storms without requiring separate article for storms where the article would be "Formed in the Atlantic. Reached hurricane strength. Didn't hit anything."

I'm going to make a disambiguation page at [[Hurricane Danielle]] and redirect [[Tropical Storm Danielle]] to it.

</div>

Please don't, that article will help people who are looking for information regarding the chronology of events of that storm. Regardless if it hit land or not. [[User:JohnCrawford|<nowiki></nowiki>]] &mdash;[[User:JohnCrawford|John]] | [[User talk:JohnCrawford|Talk]] 20:33, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)

== WikiProject: Texas proposal ==

There has been alot of talk on the Texas talk page about a [[History of Texas]] article. I think this is an ideal time to propose an idea I've had for a while now: a WikiProject: Texas. Texas is one of the most diverese, some might say divergent states in the U.S.. Historically Texans have assumed that their part of the state is entitled to speak for all of Texas, which of course has led to bad feelings in the past for various reasons. I think it would be great if some of the Wikipedians interested in Texas formed a WikiProject dedicated not only to ensuring that Texas is presented holistically but also dedicatd to making wikipedia have the best resources on Texas on the web. I would like your opinons on the proposal and also see if you are interested in participating if the project is formed. -[[User:JCarriker|JCarriker]] 03:47, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)

:The project has been created please review the page and sign up as a participant.-[[User:JCarriker|JCarriker]] 05:17, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)

== Hurricane Charley ==

Hey, I got the radar picture "live," while preparing to hunker down myself. Luckily it went to the west of me towards Orlando, but I lost a tree in my yard. Quite an experience!! [[User:Awolf002|Awolf002]] 16:23, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

== Templates, Hurricanes ==

I tried introducing templates before I realised exactly what was going on. When I did finally catch up - I ended up reverting myself. I should've known that you already had it figured optimally :). To my mind those red links to 2006 etc are fine just to provide a consistent look across pages - even though from a content point of view they are irrelevant.

== Sigh... ==

So close to being able to clean up messes, yet so far. Thanks for the nice note. At least I can truly say that if it was a simple majority that could decide the issue, I'd have won. Quite a learning experience, though. I'm even taking the negative votes in a positive light. One more cookie wouldn't hurt... - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 00:19, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
