Thanks for your support in my RfA! Unfortunately, the request did not pass, with a vote of (43/16/7). But your support was appreciated and I'll just keep right on doing what I do. Maybe I'll see ya around -- I'll be here! Cheers! - CheNuevara17:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Question
Latest comment: 18 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
Is it normal for, for example, band pages to have external links to fan-based websites? Or is that not really appropriate? Thanks. Laura June20:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I understand the usefulness and importance of bots. The reason I wrote that was, as you mentioned, I was finding an inordinate number of bot edits on my watchlist, most of which seemed at first glance to be trivial edits. Though large scale edits and cleanups would be impossible without bots. I'm glad to hear there is an approval process for them. Cheers JPotter21:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Like here's one for instance, in this diff [[1]] this bot is going around removing the wikilink from the word metamorphosis. Why? It seems unneccessary. People watching that article may want to have that word linked and need to revert it. Not a huge deal in any case, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment on it.

Adminship

Hey. I read your userpage and it says you'd like to be an admin someday. I have seen you in AFDs and some RFAs and I think you're overdue for adminship. If it's OK with you, I'd like to nominate you for adminship. What do you think? --Tuspm(C | @)22:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Don't worry about butting in, I do it all the time.
Thank you both for considering this. I think Yanksox already has dibbs, but I'll bet he'd let you conom if you're interested. I'm going to hold off for the time being, because I'd like to complete my editor review (I think the normal run time is 1 month, so around August 10), and I'd like to strive to improve myself a little bit more as an editor. In the meantime, I sincerely appreciate both of your sentiments. Reading them most definitely made my day =D. Regards, αChimplaudare23:31, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey there. I noticed that in the infobox for the 175th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line) station, under "next south," it identifies the A, but not the C (or the 1, for that matter, but since the 1 is on the IRT B'way line, I wouldn't really expect it). Anyway, being new to the world of templates and such, I don't really see how I can correct this. If you do understand it, could you give me any pointers, etc? Thanks
BTW, I put up a picture for the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal. Really difficult to find a decent angle from the street level. I'm going to keep my eyes and ears open for someone with a high enough window near the terminal. But I suppose the one I took will have to do for now.
-Seidenstud23:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I don't fully understand your explanation of why the 175th St station's infobox doesn't include the C. When I look at the infobox for the 145th Street (IRT Lenox Avenue Line), where only the 3 train stops, for "next south," it includes the 2 train. What is the difference between the two stops?

I jsut got in the bag a last night, my orignal comment was out of the bag :) I'll extend the trial on there, but hold off on any more mass edits so there is a change for community input on your bot. — xaosfluxTalk01:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I happened into this page, I noticed you revereted edits - I think it needs serious fixing or possibly protection by an administrator, the date of his death is still listed as today and has for awhile. There is no current news about this guy on the web, I'm worried that this could be some sort of a hoax but can't keep following it this evening... Sirmob04:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Don't revert his page. He is dead ans I would like you to unblock me because it was not vandelism. I never knew editing an article to post FACTS was vandelism. 68.83.181.21704:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)UserReply

Thank you for experimenting with the page Bible on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. αChimp laudare 04:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Bible. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me.

Stop changing the page. Why do you keep editing my changes when I am simply adding valuable, relevant, factual information? Stop or i'll have you banned.

Red: Excuse me? I was just asking you what you're up to with these toys! President Hirohito: Nothing. We are very simple people. With very small penis. Mr. Ose penis is …especially small.

Yeah. Thanks for your sincere and illustrious comments on my page. They are actually appreciated and as far as the nitwit vandal thing..no problem. Most of my irritation was aimed at a nasty, but sort of funny, too, accusation that was placed on my page by a real niiwit, at or around the same time. But, in any case, you gave me a laugh and I sorta always like to do that. As far as the Germans solution of userboxes goes, I don't much give a shit what the Germans think about userboxes. As far as the pres goes, well he's the pres, what can I say? I don't personally agree with him and the controlling nature of his decision, but what I think is not a big deal anyway, so who cares? In the end the new official Wikipedia environmental userbox is more attractive but it doesn't say what I would like it to say. It says, "This user is interested in environmentalism." If I make my own it will say "This user is an environmentalist." Not exactly the same thing. Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to leave considerate and funny comments on my page. Later.

It is a script not a bot. I sometimes run it on pages, usually articles, to see what it picks up. I doubt that minor, strict, spelling corrections would change what any of the people said.Voice-of-All18:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
My RfA
Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hey Alphachimp!
Thanks for your friendly congratulatory note on my talk page! I've just switched out the old "NOT ADMIN" userbox. I wanted to also thank you personally for your !vote of support on my RfA. You wrote a bit more than most folks did, and I appreciate your input. Thanks. I am still on dial-up here at home, but luckily at work I have high speed. I'm really happy with the results of the RfA, and will work hard not to let anyone down. Well, see you around! :)--Firsfron of Ronchester21:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey Alpha, thanks for supporting my RfA, which registered a tally of 104/4/7. Which means...
I am now an admin!!!
I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! You're next! >:) Yanksox04:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
our expertise: food museums & food heritage sites
Hi,
I have noticed that the subject of food heritage and food-themed museums have not yet been covered in Wikipedia. My wife and I are pioneers in this field. But since original research and thoughts are not welcome...how do worthy topics not previously examined get included? Seems this is a catch 22 situation. Please advise. We are the authors of several books on food history and the directors of The Food Museum and its Global Food Heritage Project....which has been recently profiled in ICOM News....that's Unesco's Council on Museums. We have professional museum credentials, as well, having been guest curators an exhibit at the Smithsonian.
Anyway we admire Wikipedia and wanted to see if the worthy subject of museums about eating and food could somehow get included.

I noticed you added yourself to the page. Do you use Linux (because if not, the program is going to be a little on the difficult side to run)? alphaChimplaudare20:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Haha, no worries. VS seems amazing. It makes up for all of the places AmiDaniel said he would inprove for VP 1.3, but hasn't yet (e.g. IRC RC feed, etc.). I've actually been struggling to make it work for 2 weeks now. It's possible to make it work on a windows computer using a special distribution of Linux, Knoppix. If you're still interested in it, I can link you up with a pretty good tutorial by another user. alphaChimplaudare20:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Chimp, can you do me a favor, please? I saw that you produced someone's edit count during their RfA using Interiot's new tool. I can't seem to get this to work, but I'd really like to know what my latest count is. If it's not too much trouble, and if you have time, would you mind producing mine for me? (But if it's any trouble, please ignore this request.) Many thanks, SlimVirgin(talk)00:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Well it's 2 AM on West Coast USA. California, homies. We all surf (even the 8 billion illegal immigrants). Los Angeles is just like they show it in GTA: San Andreas (but with more hookers). Oh yeah, and we only have one season. We call it "perfect".
Anyway, it is RETF ChristmasSecular Celebration Day, and I'm not failing to deliver. I'm saying good bye to converting that whole list over. It's full of misspellings that aren't misspellings and words that aren't ever misspelled. From now on this is my method for finding new words:
Spellcheck a random word from the existing list
Open any article where it corrects more than 1 word
Load it into Microsoft Word and spellcheck
See how many times it shows up in Wikipedia using AWB
If it shows up more than 6 times I'll put it into dictionary.com to make sure it's not a real word
Integrate all versions of a word into regular expressions using dictionary.com as a reference
You can do this too and get thanked in the section below! It really works well!
Shoutouts!
This is a new section dedicated to thanking people who found problems or suggested new word(s). PLEASE do this, even with one false positive. And please suggest new words, that's how it's going to expand. Removed
"eminent" corrected to "imminent" Thanks to Guinnog for finding this.
"Calender" corrected to "calendar". calender is a word. Thanks to Alphachimp. Major props.
Added
"noteable" now corrects to "notable". Thanks to Mets, keep it up!
Fixed
"gracefuly" is the wrong spelling. it's "gracefully" - Thanks to r b-j, who reported this even though he doesn't use RETF!
Please explain unexplained declination of speedy delete on Jim Shapiro

Will you please explain why you do not think this meets the definition? It is 100% disparaging, and it is unsourced. What on earth are you two admins thinking? If this does not meet the criteria, what does?jawesq03:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
