Hello, LarryMac! Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed your question on Clueless Newbies. To report 3RR violations, go to WP:AN/3RR (Wikipedia:Administrator's Noticeboard for Three-Revert Rule). To report general vandalism, go to WP:VIP (Vandalism In Progress). If something requires immediate action, see WP:AIV (Admin Intervention against Vandalism). In addition, the page WP:3RR also contains some useful information. Speaking of lame edit wars, Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars_ever should give some laughs. ( Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense (BJAODN) is also pretty funny.) I hope that covers your question! If you have any more inquiries or questions, do not hesistate to contact me (click on the "A note?" link in my signature and edit the page), or ask the Help Desk. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and happy wiki-editing! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 04:37, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
On your question about refereces regarding the usage for the term Pipe Dream. I fully agree with you that some authoritative sources give this term only the meaning associated with some of the more pleasant effects of opium use, but I have to say that I and other people too have been using it in the sense of "following a pipe that against all odds gets you where you thought it could get you" for years. http://www.onelook.com/?w=pipe+dream&ls=a lists 14 dictionaries that give it only the meaning of opioid induced delusions of grandeur, but I believe that it has evolved to mean the term I described.
The origin of this term (the dope smoking part) should be included in the article, but terms do evolve. The meaning I attempted my best to portray could stick if it is defined to be a Neologism (which happens in language all the time) -- Juxo 19:17, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Tragic as it may seem, I'm stuck on Level 8 (the shame). It seems fairly clear that the plaintext reads "I wonder what the password is", but I get nonsense keys using the vigenere table. Am I missing something really obvious? Skittle 22:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
It worked, but it felt like cheating. But if he's using computer encryption, rather than hand encryption, then I suppose we have to too. Thanks for the hand. Skittle 22:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes. Beaten by you of course, although I claim it's only because I had to get some sleep :-) Congrats to you. Did you ever work out what 'I want my Gap' was all about? I had all sorts of programming theories, none of which seemed very likely. Skittle 18:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh right, that makes sense. I'd even actually tried different number systems earlier, adding up the binary in different ways. It just never occured to me that it was what it was... Skittle 18:40, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, to anwswer your question, I live in Canada. But since I REALLY need/I guess want this stuff, I will do anything to get this shit. Maybe you could order this stuff for me?

The only reason I changed the response is because it seemed to accidentally not illustrate what you wanted (you wanted to show that you could make the symbol appeal smaller, but you didn't actually do that because the baseline font size was already -1). It seems natural to me that you wanted it to be -2, so that it actually illustrated what you were trying to make it illustrate, but I guess I was wrong. Sorry about that, thought I was helping both you and the question-asked out, guess not. -- Fastfission 17:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I asked a question in the science reference desk. Now it is gone, apparently after you reverted it? Could you explain why, by no means am I a trouble maker but I do like to know what's wrong.

LarryMac,
I really don't understand why you keep deleting the 42hours.org link.
You seem to have a problem with "original research," yet you don't delete links to Sony web sites.
Are you suggesting that Sony web sites are more objective than 42hours.org?
Please don't delete it again -- the link is extremely relevant to Sonicstage users.
Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! In case you were wondering, "Boil center of the feast (4)" was "(h)eat" (center of the + to feast = to eat), and "Later, you and me topless in turf mix-up (6)" was "future" (u + (m)e in "turf" anag.). I don't know if the u and e are really "in" the anagram, as one of them goes at the end, but it seemed better than "Later, both of you in confused fret", which was my other choice.
I now have a stack of new ones (yeah, I get distracted from my job...), but I won't make you suffer through them.
Well... just three, I promise! How do these sound?

I was just useing that as an example. I guess I should have typed my question a little more clearly.
"what they're saying goes here,"said (name). or maybe they use an adjective like this below :
"what they're saying goes here," said adjective (name).
now, when we fill this in it might look like my example:
"Lets go home, it's too late," said angry and discouraged Jesica.
For some reason, this didn't sound right to me. To make it sound right I added the after said and before angry.
I wanted to know if this was correct, or they're both correct, or they're both wrong. -thanks Kyle 19:19, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

LarryMac,
I just purchased a small Salix Caprea Pendula from our local Trader Joe's. It's a cute little willow so I bought it without even know how large this tree would grow. I'm happy to learn that it probably will only be about 6' at full maturity. This is really good news for a city dweller with not much yard space to speak of.
I was hoping you would have even more insight in your writings about this tree. Please do write something.
Hi Larry, I noticed that you helped at the reference desk recently. Just wondering if you might know anything about this question, or if you know anyone who might. Best to you, Djbaniel 20:49, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
In response to the challenge posted on WP:RD/L [1], I came up with this. I did skip the whole post about "sound symbolism" with all the sl-, sm-, etc words, and maybe my usage isn't perfect in a few places, but at least it's a start.

I looked through your contributions and I believe that when you have reverted edits, you have done so appropriately. So, I have added rollback rights to your account. Please note that rollback should be used only for blatant vandalism and does not leave a useful edit summary.

Hello, I tried your solution and created a file named rename.bat with this command :
for %%i in (dir G:\ /ad /s /b) do ( trid %%i\* -ae )
Where G:\ is my first dir and trid is the program that autodetect the filetype and rename it appropriately.
But sadly I get
C:\Documents and Settings\blabla\Desktop\trid_w32>.\rename.bat The syntax of the command is incorrect. C:\Documents and Settings\blabla\Desktop\trid_w32>for %i in (dir G :\ /ad /s /b) do C:\Documents and Settings\blabla\Desktop\trid_w32>

For /D /R G:\test %%1 IN (*) DO c:\trid_w32\trid "%%1"\* -ae
that work perfectly.
Now just a last thing and I won't bother you anymore ^^;. How can I do "two command" in a row ? like cd %%1 then followed by a del *.thumb. Esurnir ( talk) 17:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I see you found the proof that this guy is a troll - well spotted! Deleting his questions might only make it worse, though. As someone with experience in dealing with these things, what would you recommend? Zain Ebrahim ( talk) 15:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Larry. That may well be true, but that doesn't of itself make this particular post an act of trollery. I couldn't see anything trollish about it. I don't believe in the "once a troll, always a troll" philosophy. Surely, when known or suspected trolls actually make useful edits and/or ask non-disruptive questions, we should be supporting that behaviour. Maybe not a gold star, but we can at least refrain from pointing the finger and assuming some evil ulterior agenda. That seems to breach AGF, which is arguably just as bad a behaviour as the trolling itself. Cheers. -- JackofOz ( talk) 16:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. You seem to be the one most insistent on the height being 6'8.5", at least recently. Why is this? In the film, Elwood P. Dowd clearly says that Harvey is 6'3.5", as I recall from having just watched it and the IMDb quote page. I don't want to wade in on what is clearly an old-standing argument, but your explanation in the body of the article doesn't seem to fit with what is in the movie. Thanks!

I recently posted the following text on Wikipedia regarding the creation of a new computing-related project:
' WikiProject Java is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to the Java programming language and its platform.
- If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 900 articles on Java technology in Wikipedia, which may be more than ALL other programming languages articles combined...
- At least, it's more than for C++, and there IS a C++ WikiProject...
- And it's MUCH more than the .NET WikiProject with 82 articles...
- There is also a Ruby project and a Python portal so...
- Now you can also see a proposal for the Java Portal (temp location).'
Please
support this initiative,

C:\Documents and Settings\blabla\Desktop\trid_w32>.\rename.bat The syntax of the command is incorrect. C:\Documents and Settings\blabla\Desktop\trid_w32>for %i in (dir G :\ /ad /s /b) do C:\Documents and Settings\blabla\Desktop\trid_w32>

For /D /R G:\test %%1 IN (*) DO c:\trid_w32\trid "%%1"\* -ae
that work perfectly.
Now just a last thing and I won't bother you anymore ^^;. How can I do "two command" in a row ? like cd %%1 then followed by a del *.thumb. Esurnir ( talk) 17:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
For /D /R G:\ %%1 IN (*) do del "%%1\*.thumb"
Still don't understand the ( ). But thank you very very much for your help !. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esurnir ( talk • contribs) 18:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your answer on the Refdesk, Larry. If you'll tell me where to find your blog, I'll click some ads for you! Mine (with no ads) is at [2]. Retarius | Talk 06:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I see you found the proof that this guy is a troll - well spotted! Deleting his questions might only make it worse, though. As someone with experience in dealing with these things, what would you recommend? Zain Ebrahim ( talk) 15:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Larry. That may well be true, but that doesn't of itself make this particular post an act of trollery. I couldn't see anything trollish about it. I don't believe in the "once a troll, always a troll" philosophy. Surely, when known or suspected trolls actually make useful edits and/or ask non-disruptive questions, we should be supporting that behaviour. Maybe not a gold star, but we can at least refrain from pointing the finger and assuming some evil ulterior agenda. That seems to breach AGF, which is arguably just as bad a behaviour as the trolling itself. Cheers. -- JackofOz ( talk) 16:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for the "discussion" on the reference desk. I'll try better next time not to put a "discussion" on the desk.

I know you said you didn't care anymore, but it looks like the resolution of our problems has culminated in this. Bear in mind that every account that edited that page is the same person. Zain Ebrahim ( talk) 16:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. You seem to be the one most insistent on the height being 6'8.5", at least recently. Why is this? In the film, Elwood P. Dowd clearly says that Harvey is 6'3.5", as I recall from having just watched it and the IMDb quote page. I don't want to wade in on what is clearly an old-standing argument, but your explanation in the body of the article doesn't seem to fit with what is in the movie. Thanks!

You recently removed an entire discussion from the humanities reference page in an apparent act of vandalism. Please explain your edit on said page's discussion area. If this dispute cannot be resolved, I may be forced to persue Wikipedia's other areas of conflict resolution. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 216.239.234.196 ( talk) 14:05, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
I found your comment at WP:REFDESK rather rude. I talk like that. I wasn't yelling. What you consider yelling may not actually be. Please take the time to think before you speak in future.-- Editor510 drop us a line, mate 11:57, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I recently posted the following text on Wikipedia regarding the creation of a new computing-related project:
' WikiProject Java is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to the Java programming language and its platform.
- If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 900 articles on Java technology in Wikipedia, which may be more than ALL other programming languages articles combined...
- At least, it's more than for C++, and there IS a C++ WikiProject...
- And it's MUCH more than the .NET WikiProject with 82 articles...
- There is also a Ruby project and a Python portal so...
- Now you can also see a proposal for the Java Portal (temp location).'
Please
support this initiative,

I saw this one earlier (though again, after responses had been posted), and I reached the same conclusion. Watchful waiting may be the best strategy for now, but if you see anything similar in the future, I would endorse the use of both barrels. TenOfAllTrades( talk) 22:02, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
