UFO move
You are going to fix all the misdirected links, right? --mav 02:23, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I asked for the redirect, I get to fix it. Sorry about that - David Gerard 18:27, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Surviving
Why did you move the listing off the VfD page? RickK 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? RickK 05:42, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)
Fixing VfD
Good morning. I think the two of us share a desire to fix the VfD process. I have some thoughts that I'd like to share with you because I think you know a few technical tricks that I don't (okay, probably far more than "a few"). Is there an easy way that we could bounce a few ideas back and forth? Thanks. Rossami 13:39, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC) (AOL IM: mikerossander)
rename/move
the problem is that my skin didn't have the rename/move tool, so i didn't konw it. But then my standard skina is all in a nasty unreadable Impact font face , wich i have no idea how to change. I've seen your skin, how do you do it? damn, can I save the trouble of doing it and just download it from you?--Zero00 14:53, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Full Nice Handbag Co
Are you sure Full Nice Handbag Co should have been deleted? I don't think any consensus was reached on the vfd page. ☞spencer195 01:08, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for fixing VfD. I don't know quite what happened there, but my edit seemed to be what broke it! Andrewa 01:45, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
*shrug* That's fine. You clearly have had the more experience with the vandal, so I'm sure you're more than capable of delivering an appropriate time for blocking :) Dysprosia 02:59, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
2004 Atlantic hurricane season
Sorry. I was editing too fast and neglected to see that there is a year specific article in place. Now I agree wholeheartedly with you that the item is worthy of inclusion. I've reverted myself.--Jiang 06:02, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Signature pencil symbol
Apparently, you've left off the end semicolon on ✎, and so it breaks in Mozilla Firefox. [ alerante | “” 00:55, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC) ]
List of Atlantic hurricane seasons
Dear Cyrius,
I hope you don't mind but I made an article that shows a list all of the Atlantic hurricane season names. See List of Atlantic hurricane seasons. I've also made articles of Tropical Storm Katrina and Hurricane Michelle.

Oops, Agent 212
Oops, I'm sorry for replacing the text of the copyvio. I didn't think of that (though I should have remembered). I assure you it wasn't out of spite. How should a copyvio listed on VfD be dealt with, correctly? Reply to my talk page and I will do what I can to correct the mistake. David Remahl 03:20, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
what's going on at meta?
Hi Cyrius, what's going on with these page moves at meta? Is that the Vandalbot? 62.214.89.90 07:03, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- It was the vandalbot. Current MO for it is to move pages around on meta to semi-random titles. Moving them all back made a bit of a mess in recent changes, but if you go back far enough you can see the original vandalism moves.
I'm an ex-user taking a little vacation from my retirement. Good to see Wikipedia thrive, but I'm afraid that's about all I can say for now. Nice day, 62.214.89.90 07:50, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Elvis Presley trivia
Hi Cyrius, I just deleted Elvis Presley's influence per consensus and in th deletion debate for that article you listed the above trivia page as another possible candidate. Because of the intricacies of this debate I feel you ought really to list that separately under a new heading at Votes for deletion. Cheers. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 00:42, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Actually it may be worthy of mentioning that the trivia page is just a direct copy of the enduring legacy section I've just retored to the original Elvis Prsley article. Just thought you'd like to know (though you can probably tell just by looking at it). -- Graham ☺ | Talk 00:49, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Looks like Sean Curtin got around to listing the additional Elvis stuff first. But then, you already knew that. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:43, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Yes I saw that only after I left this message here. Have you also seen the listing by Marcus2 on Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion? -- Graham ☺ | Talk 13:37, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
9/11 Victims "spree"
I guess it did look like a purge. I was trying to work backwards from one that was moved and to clean up the now-dead links. Discovered several pages of victim lists with links to lots more victim pages. I just started checking them for consistency with the current "notability" standard and got carried away. Before I knew it, it was 3 am. Rossami 02:32, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Cyrius, I have done an article on Cape Verde-type hurricanes. It includes such information as notable Cape Verde hurricanes and the longest lasting hurricanes on record (since some long-lasting hurricanes are actually Cape Verde hurricanes, anyway). It took me an hour to find enough information on these types of hurricanes, but as you can see from the article, I managed.
By the way, the IP address on the history page is mine. :^)

Button
I noticed that you changed your "Go" and "Search" button in the Search Box. How? Thanks. Insert non-formatted text here
Eep!
Hiya.. I saw on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Eep that you said "the eep sound is copyrighted" .. not being a Mac person, I wouldn't know, but if that's the case, could you list it as a copyvio? Thanks! —Stormie 23:09, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
Hollywood Jam
Hi! I have made some test edits to the article entitled "Hollywood Jam." Anyway, I was just testing to see where the history to this article went. Anyway, I looked at the previous history for the VFD page, and it seems to me that although this didn't appear on television, there is a grain of truth to it that it is an existing club with voice actors in it. I think it was mentioned on one site other than fuzzy.com when it was talking about the TV Guide's top 50 cartoons list. Could it be that the site was mistakenly posting false data? Marcus2 10:54, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- THe history of the article went into the (rather unstable) deleted revisions archive, where it's only visible to admins. As far as there being any truth to it whatsoever, no one is going to believe it unless there's some rock-solid references backing it up.
- So far, the only reference for this existing is voices.fuzzy.com, and that site doesn't even list Hollywood Jam any more, as the administrator decided the database needed cleaning up. They've had a run of people posting false and/or profane information.
- If you have some need to see what it was, I can provide you with a copy. But I'd prefer that Hollywood Jam just go away. -- Cyrius|✎ 19:41, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I believe I have seen one other website metioning it. It was talking on the subject of something to do with voice actors. Thank you for showing me your view though. Marcus2 00:57, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- The short of it is that if it had in fact been made, there would have been reliable sources about it everywhere. It's not something that the animation nerds would have overlooked. Plus there's the implausibility factor. Like Disney would really let Mickey Mouse share a screen with Bugs Bunny, Homer Simpson, and both Beavis and Butt-Head. -- Cyrius|✎ 01:26, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
