September 2007ArielGold, I really don't think that belongs to WP:ERRORS. I have indeed moved it to Talk:Main Page. If you are reverting one edit of mine, pls revert both. However, I think unreverting may be more appropriate. -- 74.13.126.145 05:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Now, as far as I know, we've never had a difference before, Ariel. But your brand of "humor" on my talk page is something that I just can't help take the deepest delight in. Let this be a warning to you; I shall always accept such jokes from you with a surprised laugh and warm regard.

Version 1.1.2Let me know if you like it! Ariel ♥ Gold 06:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC) Me is liking it very much :) So much so....
How hard would it be to make the archive box the width of the old 'Welcome' box, going across the top (with rounded corners). With 'Archives' on the top line, then 'This page is archived by..' and then 'Archive 1' on the next, with the ability to expand the number of Archives. Then below it I can have the rules centered? How does that sound? Thanks again, Tiddly-Tom 06:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
So, based on this guy's contributions, I'm having a really hard time seeing how he's not been blocked yet. I know that you in particular champion the cause of "four strikes before you're out" and all that, but this guy's been breaking the rules since day one; he hasn't made a single good-faith edit. But just because he only vandalizes once or twice before leaving for a bit means that he gets to escape the boot? Glass Cobra 09:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Since I'm new, I'd apperciate any help that you can give me, and I will also take a look at the differnent wikipedia "new user" manuals when I get a chance. I should let you know that I'm only 15 and in high school, however, I'm very bright for my age. Next year I will be attending the Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) [6]. Also my dad is an aerospace engineer and works for the aerospace divsion of Boeing under the United Space Alliance, so he an expert on the shuttle and we both keep close eyes on missons as well. Dispite speaking 4 different languages: Spanish, English, Russian, and French (I've also started studying Japanese), along with excelling in Mathmatics and Science, my speling and grammar isn't the best. So, please feel free to correct my mistakes and let me know what not to do in the future.

Thanks for the correctionHello, I was the one who was reverting the edits on Tim Sylvia's page. I didn't stop to realize that putting his website's autograph info on the page may be seen as advertisement so thanks for pointing that out, I suppose that is a good reason to keep it out. As for the rest of the edit though, that seems to be general consensus among people and anything else seems to be POV. My temporary IP was blocked already by some other mod for the same edit you messaged me about, keeping the fight info out seems like fanboyism to me so I don't know what that mod was thinking... Cyrus777 04:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I actually didn't add any information, any info written was by other people and not myself, I just reverted some edits. I reverted the one which removed his webpage because I felt it was important enough information to mention but as I already said I didn't stop to realize it may be seen as advertisement and therefore should not be there. And the other one I reverted was because in all seriousness it seemed to describe what had happened extremely accurately and not just based on the point of view of one or two people. I'm sure I've seen 3rd party sites which say the same things which were written there... though even if I use those as sources someone is bound to dispute it because it makes Tim Sylvia look bad. Also, sorry for originally writing this at the top of your page, I don't usually write a lot of things so I didn't realize it should go at the bottom of your talk page. Cyrus777 04:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
QuestionHey—how did you make this edit summary? You didn't do undo, and you didn't use any of the twinkle buttons, as best I can tell. So unless you manually typed in "Reverted 1 edit by ..." I wonder what you did? Thanks! — i said 04:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

RE:UsernamesNo idea. It wasn't really a matter of me caring; it was principal. UAA refused to block it, and one of the admins was very, very rude, I presume because they were at their wit's end over bad Twinkle reports. I'm not even the one who originally reported the user; I just responded to the rudeness and took it upon myself to show these people that writing a name in a code actually makes it more worthy of a block, rather than exempting it from it. You're welcome for contacting the user, but whether or not they reply I will see to it that they change their name or get blocked simply because I'm stubborn that way ;). I don't give in to this kind of crap, specifically people wanting to ignore the spirit of a policy. Cheers, The Hyb rid 05:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC) In spite of my wink face I came across angrily.

Geez.. I start an article, come back, find that someone else has edited it, and made it all better. Thank you for your improvements on Nils Alwall, for digging up more sources and fixing them into proper cite tags (which I was planning to do, honestly). Just a very very small note, footnotes before the period (à la Nature style) is also acceptable according to the style guidelines. Not that I mind you changing it, I actually think the Chicago style looks better, but I've gotten into the habit of using the Nature style for some reason. (that was probably waaay to much detail on cite styles. Sorry.) Thanks again! henrik• talk 13:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Almost backHello m'Lady! Thanks for thine most divine greetings! It doth truly bring tears of joy to mine heart to have been so missed and my return heralded with such regard...!

I shalt be back full time sooneth..! Dreadstar † 16:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC) I've done enough damage for today...I was working on disambiguating things today, and ran across a whole mess of not-notable articles. So we got 5 AfD's and 3 CSD A7's out of it. I think I'm done for the time being, before I go and recommend the main page be G12'ed or something. All this, and you're still asleep! Your circadian rhythm must be out of whack... -- Mike Vitale 18:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
New Yorker Cartoons in general versus the "On the Internet..." cartoonAs the article you cite even mentions (much as I despise unreferenced weasel words) this is the "most reprinted" of all The New Yorker cartoons, which should strongly suggest an AFC go ahead. And besides, the phrase has a currency which had taken on a life of its own, which even the minimum sourcing I've put in the article so far should suggest. 183 G-books hits (not to be confused with its 48,900 G-hits) for a 14 year old cartoon is nothing to sniff at. And the real besides, shouldn't the article about the most famous cartoon about anonymity on the internet be created via WP:AFC? Geez, that's not irony, that's poetry! -- 146.115.58.152 07:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't stop to realize that putting his website's autograph info on the page may be seen as advertisement so thanks for pointing that out, I suppose that is a good reason to keep it out. As for the rest of the edit though, that seems to be general consensus among people and anything else seems to be POV. My temporary IP was blocked already by some other mod for the same edit you messaged me about, keeping the fight info out seems like fanboyism to me so I don't know what that mod was thinking...

I actually didn't add any information, any info written was by other people and not myself, I just reverted some edits. I reverted the one which removed his webpage because I felt it was important enough information to mention but as I already said I didn't stop to realize it may be seen as advertisement and therefore should not be there. And the other one I reverted was because in all seriousness it seemed to describe what had happened extremely accurately and not just based on the point of view of one or two people. I'm sure I've seen 3rd party sites which say the same things which were written there... though even if I use those as sources someone is bound to dispute it because it makes Tim Sylvia look bad. Also, sorry for originally writing this at the top of your page, I don't usually write a lot of things so I didn't realize it should go at the bottom of your talk page.

QuestionHey—how did you make this edit summary? You didn't do undo, and you didn't use any of the twinkle buttons, as best I can tell. So unless you manually typed in "Reverted 1 edit by ..." I wonder what you did? Thanks! — i said 04:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
←EVula seems to have taken care of it. And I asked first. But it has crossed my mind a bit, but I'm awfully low on mainspace edits. And I'd like to change my username. I know you like it so much, but it's awfully hard to refer to me in coversation. — i said 05:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
LOL Oh boy, imagine the fun you could have with a sig if your username was Pi! LOL. What was the issue last week, Flyguy? I must have missed it lol. Ariel ♥ Gold 05:42, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Obligatory Ariel hates scrolling subsectionI think User:I should change his name to User:√(-1). Then he'd change his name without changing his name. :) — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 07:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
SorryHi ArielGold, this is to let you know that I've just left a message here about an accident that just happened over at meta. I accidentally damaged one of your pages, then undid it staright away. Sorry about that, I was probably dozing off as it's 5.30am here (England) and I need to go to bed. Thanks, umdrums ( talk) 04:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Please consider letting me keep this name.Kinda lengthy, I know, but creative, isnt it? IGottaFlyCoachCauseTheyWontTieMeToAWingNoMatterHowMuchIBeg 09:54, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

It was not an experimentI knew exactly what to do and what will it produce and I am satisfied with the results. Seriously, it just was a "funny" page making some offensive comments to certain segments of , uh, people, so I decided to "contribute". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.153.93.219 ( talk) 01:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
RE:UsernamesNo idea. It wasn't really a matter of me caring; it was principal. UAA refused to block it, and one of the admins was very, very rude, I presume because they were at their wit's end over bad Twinkle reports. I'm not even the one who originally reported the user; I just responded to the rudeness and took it upon myself to show these people that writing a name in a code actually makes it more worthy of a block, rather than exempting it from it. You're welcome for contacting the user, but whether or not they reply I will see to it that they change their name or get blocked simply because I'm stubborn that way ;). I don't give in to this kind of crap, specifically people wanting to ignore the spirit of a policy. Cheers, The Hyb rid 05:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC) In spite of my wink face I came across angrily.

Geez.. I start an article, come back, find that someone else has edited it, and made it all better. Thank you for your improvements on Nils Alwall, for digging up more sources and fixing them into proper cite tags (which I was planning to do, honestly). Just a very very small note, footnotes before the period (à la Nature style) is also acceptable according to the style guidelines. Not that I mind you changing it, I actually think the Chicago style looks better, but I've gotten into the habit of using the Nature style for some reason. (that was probably waaay to much detail on cite styles. Sorry.) Thanks again! henrik• talk 13:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Almost backHello m'Lady! Thanks for thine most divine greetings! It doth truly bring tears of joy to mine heart to have been so missed and my return heralded with such regard...! Tis good to see thee too...;) I've been dealing with a few family issues, and mine own health hath been sorely put to the test as of late, e'en unto this day doth I not feeleth welleth..but I will maketh small forays into the Royal Wikipedia World of my most stout hearted companions and friends...! I shalt be back full time sooneth..! Dreadstar † 16:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC) I've done enough damage for today...I was working on disambiguating things today, and ran across a whole mess of not-notable articles. So we got 5 AfD's and 3 CSD A7's out of it. I think I'm done for the time being, before I go and recommend the main page be G12'ed or something. All this, and you're still asleep! Your circadian rhythm must be out of whack... -- Mike Vitale 18:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
New Yorker Cartoons in general versus the "On the Internet..." cartoonAs the article you cite even mentions (much as I despise unreferenced weasel words) this is the "most reprinted" of all The New Yorker cartoons, which should strongly suggest an AFC go ahead. And besides, the phrase has a currency which had taken on a life of its own, which even the minimum sourcing I've put in the article so far should suggest. 183 G-books hits (not to be confused with its 48,900 G-hits) for a 14 year old cartoon is nothing to sniff at. And the real besides, shouldn't the article about the most famous cartoon about anonymity on the internet be created via WP:AFC? Geez, that's not irony, that's poetry! -- 146.115.58.152 07:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Random edit breakYow, cyber sex? This is even worse than the pubic comment, haha! Ariel, your talk page can certainly get racy. I know Wikipedia isn't censored, but think of the children! :P Glass Cobra ( Review) 15:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
the Internet.2C nobody knows you.27re a dog|the article proposal]] quite a bit using google book refs, which may make your tag look silly. If you do get a chance to reconsider, please do; some people aren't going to read past the tag. -- 146.115.58.152 06:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog and On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're a Dog created as a redirect, for those who may think it is all caps (proper title is the way it appears in the cartoon). Ariel ♥ Gold 06:53, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
