- You're welcome.--Fuhghettaboutit 02:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hi! Pleased to meetchya-- Followed you home from a newbie page. Thanks for Category:Rare Steak! FrankB 02:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Well now, it's good to meet someone else who's not afraid of a little bloody steak. We ought to conduct a survey of editors' steak preferences and petition Jimbo Wales to ban all those who chose well done, after all, how can someone who exercises such poor judgment as to like well done steak be trusted to make good edits?;)> I wish I could take credit, but I didn't create the category, just tweaked the language. Glad you stopped by--you know it's nice to get a message from someone just saying howdy. --Fuhghettaboutit 03:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I've seen your work in the Tongoy page, and I find it faboulus. I'm the principal writer of the spanish wiki article of Tongoy, and i want to say thank's for your work. Keep in that way. Salu2 --Rakela 20:24, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
PS: Sorry by my english, it's owfoul.
Hola! Your English is pretty damn good. I'm glad you found the article and like it. I don't like to do things in half-measures and tried to translate with fidelity and into flowing English, along with providing extra research so that an English speaking audience will understand terms that are assumed to be known by Spanish speakers. If your English is good enough to follow along with the article, and I don't know that it is, I would appreciate it if you could review the article for factual accuracy. I tried hard, but my Spanish is not great either and there were certain passages that I may have gotten something confused about. If you find any mistakes, you could either change them yourself, or if you don't trust your English abilities enough to make the changes (which I would of course help with, by reviewing for English fluidity) you can post all necessary changes here. This is the heart of Wikipedia. A good article on a town in Chile that would never make it into a regular English Encyclopedia text. Glad to meet you! --Fuhghettaboutit 21:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- I forgot. I also made a couple of smaller articles by translating them so I could make good links in this article--I also translated and made: Víctor Domingo Silva, Guanaqueros and Cordillera de Talinay. It would be a great thing if you could look at look at those translations as well if you are up to it. --Fuhghettaboutit 21:27, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I forgot to tell you that I see the linked articles and they are very good also... I don't mek the changes because you put a banner asking for not to modify the article until you finish to work in it, but what you tell me now, made me free to make the changes. If you need something, spetialy with translation, don't be afraid to ask me. ;) By! Rakela 20:23, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Post-quem
Hellow my effortful friend
I need to explain that the words post-quem aren't a geologist term but a latin expression, a latinism, thats means "posterior". I used this words for express that something is like a milestone that provides a reference time. For instance, the French Revolution (1789) is a time reference for the last historical epoch. Our times are post-quem; in opposite, the Medieval epoch is ante-quem.
I hope, that I has able to be clear. You know. Thanks --Locutus Borg File:Logo-Borg.gif, Talk to me 23:15, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for helping expand the article The Holy. eisenhower UTCEQ

Thanks for reverting
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. Strange that the anon user has come out of wiki-retirement to attempt to insult me The JPS talk to me 20:55, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I was in the midst of replying to your reply when I saw it:-)
Thanks for editing
Thanks for all the clarification and stylistic edits you've made on the Halloween (film) and Halloween II (film) articles. You've been a big help! (How about looking at Halloween III: Season of the Witch if you get the chance?) Dmoon1 22:11, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I edit all over the place, but I think I get the most satisfaction out of taking really good prose, in a really good article (please take a bow), and just tweaking a word here and a sentence there, hopefully to make it better. I will take a look at Halloween III. --Fuhghettaboutit 22:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- You do the dirty work that I hate (proofreading) and it is much appreciated. Regarding Halloween III, I removed the aside from the plot because it did interrupt the flow. I have been trying to say somewhere in the article that the only reference to the original Halloween in this movie is that Halloween is airing on television the night that the Silver Shamrock commercial is supposed to play (the commercial airs right after the movie ends), but I can't get it to fit anywhere in the article very well. Do you have any suggestions? Dmoon1 23:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- I took a stab at it, in first paragraph under production section. Please review. Does that work? Is it accurate?--Fuhghettaboutit 00:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- It still sounds a tad bit awkward, but it's definitely better. Dmoon1 05:23, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's very awkward. The word halloween appears in the sentence far too many times, Uggg. Ill try to think of a better way.--Fuhghettaboutit 22:40, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Horror
I've noticed your edits to horror-related articles. Dmoon1 and I are thinking of starting a Horror WikiProject. Would you be interested in helping with something like this? Please see User:Myleslong/WikiProject Horror for a temporary project page. Thanks for your time. --Myles Long 19:31, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds like a great idea. I'm there.--Fuhghettaboutit 21:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
I was surprised and honored by your message. Your generous offer to help me here may turn into a full-time job for you. I received notification that I had a message, but I required another forty-five minutes' fumbling before I successfully read it. Thank you for your technical -- as well as artistic -- expertise in more attractively formatting the book page. That was my first attempt here and I do appreciate, not only your help, but your not laughing out loud at me. -- David Mills
- Ha! If you could see the attempts of many newcomers here on their first article... There's a lot to know here about the technical aspects of things--placing pages in appropriate categories, stub tags, wiki formatting, image markup, copyright tagging, article style convention and the numerous policies that are taken into consideration in article treatment, to name a few. A really good place to start is the Wikipedia:Tutorial. Again, if you have a technical (or other) issue, feel free to ask me. By the way, you signed you post to me by typing your name out. An easier and more useful way of signing posts is to type four tildes (~~~~). This automatically formats your username as a clickable link and leaves a date and time stamp. I am responding to you on my user talk page, but I am also placing this on your user talk page so you get the "you have new messages" notification. I find this site utterly addictive (and a noble venture) and have pretty much stopped posting at iidb. Responding for the umpteenth time to--"you people just hate god," or "how can evolution be true--no human has ever given birth to a monkey" was starting to give me agita.--Fuhghettaboutit 16:02, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Spanish Translations
Outstanding work on single-handedly translating the Cao Yu article at WP:SPATRA; that's a long article, and you've done a clean job. Just be careful not too burn yourself out like so many others, but you've been around long enough I'm probably preaching to the choir. I've been impressed while poking around your userpage especially the translation section. Let me know if you ever need any kind of hand on your Spanish/English work, I'd be glad to help. - Draeco 19:20, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words. I enjoy translating from Spanish. My Spanish is not very fluent and I am hoping it will get better through translation. I find that a lot of translations end up sounding awkward because the original grammar never truly gets converted to English. I think to some extent it's an advantage to have to struggle, because without glib fluency, I am better able to convert the text completely to English syntax, and writing in English is what I do for a living. On the help front, this might be too much to ask, but I was just stumped with some parts of the translation of Trabancos River. The article is an artículos destacados, and is chock full of obscure (to me) geology and archeology terms. The main author of the Spanish article has been helping out with corrections. However, he also translated a number of sections but his English isn't great, and the sections were so garbled that in my attempt to turn them into English, I may have lost some of the meaning. Maybe you could take a look at the translation and see if there are any problems in the geology section translations? There are also a number of passages that remain untranslated (untranslated text appears in the article awaiting help). --Fuhghettaboutit 23:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Reminder
— Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 03:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- While it's certainly valuable to remind people of substituting templates, I'm not sure doing so mechanically is advisable. By analogy, while it's great to leave welcome templates on new user pages, I always think you should look at their contributions before deciding which template is right, how to personalize etc. As someone with hundreds and hundreds of substituted templates under my belt, being mechanically reminded of one I missed with a template, I must confess, I find slightly irksome. Sorry if that comes across as harsh, but I imagine that some others, similarly situated, might feel the same --Fuhghettaboutit 04:08, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Phantasm
Never seen Phantasm before. Must be good judging by its plot. I can see films like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th being future horror collaborations, and books like Dracula and Frankenstein. I don't really know how to improve film articles be honest, because I have never made hefty contributions to any film article. So far my horror contributions have been limited to adding info boxes and uploading movie posters to horror articles. Could you outline how you would set out the article (if it becomes horror collaboration of the month)? LuciferMorgan 11:21, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- I always find that a great way to start any article is by looking at a sterling example in the area. See Halloween (film) to see the organization and form of a great film article. Phantasm is really a classic but it may be hard to work up any enthusiasm if you've never seen it (it's worth seeing if you are a horror fan, not the least for its cult appeal). There are cheesy parts--let's not forget this is a low budget 70s horror flick, but some of the images, the music--it made a deep impression. I myself have never done a great deal of work on bringing a movie article to high polish from beginnings, concentrating in other areas. It was only after editing the three excellent Halloween articles mostly written by Dmoon1 (two of which are featured articles) that WikiProject horror was set up by Myles Long who invited me to join. The HCOTM was set up by me only last week, so the whole project is just finding its legs. The more that can contribute the better.--Fuhghettaboutit 11:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the spelling fix and I'm Italian. ;-) hydnjo talk 23:55, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I think your spelling is more authentic, but I settled on this one long ago in another forum where the alternate spellings were unavailable. You said "should I just Fuhghettaboutit," and I was agreeing:-)--Fuhghettaboutit 01:10, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Phantasm Reply
- Even though I haven't seen this film, I would like to contribute to this article and help. My writing skills are fine, the only thing I find a pain are the referencing parts because I have a rubbish library nearby. If you wish to collaborate on the Phantasm film then I will help. The first thing to add would be the plot. Message me back on my talk page. LuciferMorgan 04:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
- This would be my first attempt also at a horror article major write up as my areas of concentration have been elsewhere. I nominated this article as the movie made such an impression on me when I first saw it and it's fairly well know, but I'm now second guessing the choice. Maybe the first article should be on a very well known film so that others can get involved while the project is finding its legs. In any case contribute any way you can or wish.--Fuhghettaboutit 05:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
