Dear Pine, You were my very first friend and tutor on WP - and you Sent Me a Kitten!, so now that I think I'm going to choose to take home a new, real, furry kitten (possibly two, if they are litter-mates), I want to ask you what name YOU would give it (or them), if the naming choice were up to you.
I live right next to an enormous PetCo, where they have kittens looking for homes every day. This week, they have several - and those kitties get adopted really fast! So:
My preference would be black kitten(s). And since you're clever, I'll take your suggestions seriously! Hugs, FiverFan65 ( talk) 09:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC) FiverFan65 (Oh, and since I'm a newbie, I don't know whether I should look for your response on my own Talk page or yours. I'll learn. I'm learning as fast as I can!)
Oh, wow, you've done research for me! Let me go look right now!
- Bagheera - of course, that should be obvious! As soon as a kitten grows... Well, one might even have a Bagheera kitten, of course.
- Besides Bagheera, I see lots of Indian names. As I know only about a handful of Indian phrases, but think them beautiful, I would certainly accept any of your suggestions.
- Basalt? not always black, but I wouldn't be embarrassed calling that name in the neighborhood
- Blackula Prince of Darkness - I'd use that name at Halloween, probably. (I REALLY get into celebrating Halloween - I wear outfits for all kinds of super-girls).
(Nothing with "bob" - not EVER. For fear of someone wanting to dump kitty's face into a bucket of water, loike.)
Lots of names for black-and white cats, I see...
- Cinderpelt - Interesting because I've never run into it. But I'd sooner choose, like, "Alec Baldwin," I think.
Cosmic Creeper - That's simply funny. But how do you break it down into a nickname?
Hmmm... More interesting names - Did I tell you I'm a cartoon-phobe? That rules a lot of names out immediately. Sorry. I know people think I'm a party-pooper, but I really do have a phobia about cartoons.
- Fargo - interesting, I wouldn't mind calling that name. But why... Black comedy movie?
- India Ink - that's both old and gorgeous.
-- Wait, I'm being called for possum duty! (Have I told you about opossum duty?) - Okay, you tell me what names you like, as I probably won't get back to you for another day.
Please, longing to know!
Pine, thanks so much! - gotta run! FiverFan65 ( talk) 10:08, 6 September 2012 (UTC) FiverFan65

Pine, another thing? I've just contributed a New Article! It's about Robert J. Sawyer's collection, "Relativity." I know that I have to wait weeks. I guess there's no question, really; I'm just anxious, and wanted to put my anxiety out there.
This has been All About Me. Please, Pine, how are YOU? ...
Hugs, but more soon, I hope, FiverFan65 ( talk) 11:51, 8 September 2012 (UTC) FiverFan65

Hi there, Pine. I appreciated your input on the financial articles I worked on for MFA in late spring, and I'm working with them again to improve and clarify some other articles on financial subjects. If you have a moment, would you be willing to read a proposal I've made on the Short (finance) discussion page, and offer your thoughts? Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 19:35, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting.
