I understand. Yes I have noticed that I have made too many minor edits and I will try to stop. I have been telling people about my mainspace edits (mostly User:Philippe) because they have asked me to keep an update of my work. Philippe asked me to always give him/her a notice every so often to see what I have been doing. I will take your advice. I appreciate your cool head. Thanks. Cheers to you.-- RyRy5 Talk to RyRy 23:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I swiped the MiszaBot template and the "I will reply on this page" notification from the top of your talk page and put them on mine. I just never think to archive my own talk page, and it really is easier to read a conversation when it isn't split between pages. I hope you don't mind, but I just thought I'd let you know. — Mears man ( talk) 04:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

On AN/I, you said: In that case, should Taostiger be blocked now in regards to this comment and countless others where Taos says "we?"
Certainly not. Blocking is a last resort, not the default response when you think a newbie is breaking a rule. Newbies don't know the rules. The Taos High School situation could have been handled much better, with much less newbie-biting. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 18:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed that I've been caught up in this Zencv thing - no doubt the machinery to check me out is whirring away as we speak, but I'm curious about something. How could my suggested additions that were contested, Movie Credits in the Infobox, supporting Flagicons on a "Response" page and civilly debating a citation that was written in different ways on different websites be compared to the poorly written Anti-Hirsi Ali writings of Zencv?

What do you think should happen to this article? It purports to be about the book, but seems to be more about Chevalier. Should I rename it to her and rework it like that? Aleta Sing 23:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I am grateful for the vote. But the comment about it being the same warning he gave to someone who was deleted wasn't really necessary.

Thanks for catching my mistake on the revert in the NC article- I had not realized that Cary had replaced Chapel Hill. Rufous-crowned Sparrow ( talk) 02:24, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
In reference to your recent change: 20:58, 16 April 2008 AgnosticPreachersKid ( Talk | contribs) (36,319 bytes) (changed to cary; the new CSA title doesn't include Chapel Hill)
Granted that the US Census defined CSA has changed from Chapel Hill to Cary because of population, however, please consider:

Hi -- you asked for suggestions about a hook for Peace College Main Building, a nice article. You don't mean for a DYK hook, do you? The article is too old or almost too old right now for a DYK, i think. I have only just begun playing with DYKs. Actually i just self-nominated one that I realize now doesn't yet meet the criteria (too short, truly a stub). User:Daniel Case is the man with a zillion DYKs, and active in the administering the DYK program. Anyhow, I am not particularly good with words, they don't emerge easily.... :( doncram ( talk) 23:40, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

It's fairly well established that editing in user space doesn't count for DYK purposes.

Hello there. With Satyr on wikibreak, I wonder if I might impose on you to ask about how one goes about posting to the wikimedia commons? I uploaded two photos, which they removed. I posted innumerable messages on the commons to ask what was going on, but no response. Any ideas how to make that work? Also, I would be appreciative if you ever have a chance to put those breaks into the William Jarvis piece. Again, many thanks! MarmadukePercy ( talk) 19:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I have been house-sitting for some friends in Rosslyn, Virginia since Sunday. They also gave me the keys to their new car so I can get back and forth from VA to D.C. (I haven't driven since September, so this has been nerve racking trying to deal with D.C. traffic) I was driving their car and stopped by my friend's house yesterday at lunchtime. He's in the hospital, so I was checking his mail, taking out the trash, etc. I was in his house for no more than 5 minutes. I came back to the car which was parked on a highly-trafficed pedestrian street in Dupont Circle. When I sat in the driver's seat, I felt a breeze. I turned around and noticed the rear passenger window had been busted out. Of course, I panic. After I gained my composure, I call the guy who owns the car and told him what happened. He asked if they took anything. It hit me. I had left my computer briefcase and it was gone. Inside that bag was my laptop, cell phone charger, iPod (with $700 worth of music), and the wallet & checkbook of the guy who is in the hosptial. He gave it to me before he went into surgery on Monday because he didn't know he wasn't supposed to bring it to the hospital. I panic once again. I call the police and 1.5 hrs later, the po-po shows up. I was 4 blocks from the Dupont police building, so why it took that long, I don't know. While I waited, several people came up and asked what happened. Two kind elderly women gave me hugs and brought me a trash bag and duct tape to cover the window. Supposedly, no one saw anything. I doubt that. It was 12 o'clock in Dupont. Also, this is not a rough area of D.C. These are 1+ million dollar homes. Apparently, the same thing happened the day before one block over. So whoever is doing it is brave/stupid. Someone will eventually see them break windows and report the assholes. The car was dusted for fingerprints and I think the insurance will cover my laptop and iPod. Anyway, I won't be very active the next few days until I get another laptop. I've had to change all my passwords because my computer was asleep, not off, and wikipedia, yahoo, etc. were all open. I'm glad to see he didn't make any kind of stupid edits with this account. Anyone have a banner to add that says my laptop is stolen and that I won't be very active for a few days? Thanks. APK yada yada 11:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
If the police don't get him, the gay porn on the laptop will! :P Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I'm sure you've already thought about it but you need to get any credit cards cancelled from your friends wallet that was stolen and his checking account closed/noted/whatever from his checkbook that was stolen. Hope you get back soon! - ✰ ALLSTAR✰ echo 15:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for your lost laptop, iPod, music, other stuff and all your friends stuff, APK. Maybe worse than the value of the lost items is the feeling of being violated. Some one has attacked your personal space, rummaged through your stuff, looked at personal info, and taken your friend's identity. It sucks. And it's a real pain to take care of all the paperwork in the aftermath. I feel for you. Anything irreplaceable or embarrassingly personal on the laptop? (po-po? lol) — Becksguy ( talk) 01:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Is that covered under insurance? But I'm surprised that you would suggest our upright young man might have porn on his laptop, ASE. Really. Unheard of. After all, he's the son of a preacher man. — Becksguy ( talk) 02:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
One can only hope that whoever gets your laptop (I doubt the thief still has it) will have the common decency to post your "hard drive" pictures on Flickr or DudesNude (or similar) so you will at least get something out of it. (You did say you were an exhibitionist, right?) BTW, I'm thinking of visiting DC soon, maybe for the DC Meetup in May. Another BTW, are you thinking of getting a laptop with biometric security (fingerprint swipe required to access)? At least no one can access your data that way, even if the laptop disappears.
