User talk:Dorftrottel

I have no particular agenda on how to handle user talk (except for this simple rule). I'm confident we'll figure a way to get the essential points across to each other anyway. Chances are, I'll reply on your talk page and watch it for a reply from you. If you'd rather put it here to avoid a fragmented discussion, you're welcome to copy anything over together with your latest reply. Also, please don't hold back: Nobody is perfect and I'm grateful for any constructive criticism and advice you may have with regard to specific edits or my conduct in general.

[edit] Removing messages?

Dude, seriously? I may have inadvertently offended you, but throwing your toys out of your pram won't help things one bit. – PeeJay 10:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

There's no point in discussing the issue. dorftrottel (talk) 11:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

There's always a point to discussing an issue. If there wasn't a point, it wouldn't be an issue, but it obviously is an issue so there must be a point. – PeeJay 11:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

The issue is that imho I improved those tables. You reverted, calling my variants 'ugly' and 'weird'. That's what I mean by 'no point'. Let's leave it at that. dorftrottel (talk) 11:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, fair enough. Evidently I could have chosen my words better, as I didn't mean any personal offence to you. We obviously just have differing opinions on style. On a similar note, I think you may have gone a bit over the top with the comments you made on my talk page. – PeeJay 13:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re:anxiety

yeah, i know the feeling. no luck on a head set, alas. i've been relying on a neighbor's wireless and the signal isn't all that great... also, i'd feel like an idiot talking about WP on a public terminal. when my situation improves i'll let you know. hope all is well.

:D — feel like an idiot talking about WP on a public terminal — echo that. I'd say I'd rather publicly talk about my favourite porn sites. all is well, thanks. otoh, most people think that way before they're being diagnosed with inoperably metastasised small cell cancer. ahem. dorftrottel (talk) 00:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thank you for the comments you left on my RFA. In response to the signbook, I'd like to point you to this diff [1]. That is one of the reasons I keep it. I don't keep it to get a whole lot of signatures. I keep it to see all of the wonderful editors I have had contact with. Thanks again. :) <3 Tinkleheimer TALK!! 21:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think Jimbo's taste and judgement can be fully trusted on all occasions. dorftrottel (talk) 23:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Euro 2008 venues table idea

How about this? I've made it so that the stadium name and the capacity are grouped together, separate from the city name and the image of the stadium. – PeeJay 14:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

suggested table layout

Vienna	Klagenfurt	Salzburg	Innsbruck
Ernst Happel Stadion Capacity: 53,295	Hypo-Arena Capacity: 31,957	Wals Siezenheim Stadion Capacity: 31,020	Tivoli Neu Capacity: 31,600
Basel	Berne	Geneva	Zürich
St. Jakob-Park Capacity: 42,000	Stade de Suisse Capacity: 31,907	Stade de Genève Capacity: 31,228	Letzigrund Capacity: 30,000

I actually hadn't noticed, tbh. I've implemented the above venues table now. – PeeJay 21:05, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thanks for taking the time to contribute, and of course, thanks for voting to support :). Your contribution was the best kind; you accept the userbox, and that it might be considered a problem, but focus on my contributions regardless :). I'll apply again in 4-6 months, so i'll hopefully see you then :). Ironholds 21:36, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: keeping score

Normally I would agree with you, but enforcing that would take too much effort. We'd spend more time reverting edits than doing anything else, so my philosophy on this is "If you can't beat them, join them". – PeeJay 16:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

::D Good point. dorftrottel (talk) 01:11, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Austria Euro2004 bid

How can Austria bid for euro 2004 if they were announced in 2002 that they will organize euro 2008? — Well, since the decision is made five to six years ahead of time, that one should be self-evident. dorftrottel (talk) 15:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

"that one should be self-evident" no it is not, if Austria would have won then how would have organized EURO 2008 ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cornelinho (talk • contribs) 16:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Um, I'm not sure what you mean. Had Austria's bid for 2004 been successful as the winner was announced in on 12 October 1999, they wouldn't have put up a bid for 2008. Their bid was not successful, so they decided to to go ahead and prepare another bid, for 2008, the winner of which was announced on 12 December 2002, and therefore also before Euro 2004 took place (the host of which had in turn been decided upon before Euro 2000 took place). dorftrottel (talk) 01:11, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just

It was just a mistake [2] Everyone makes those, especially when they've had a day like mine. ——Martin^phi ☎ Ψ Φ—— 06:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

LOL, inadvandalism, that's pretty good. I would have taken it back if it hadn't been an edit summary. I thought at the time it was vandalism. But shouldn't have said it, of course. ——Martin^phi ☎ Ψ Φ—— 07:02, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recent AfD

I'm here to inform you that I closed out this AfD (rather soon). I feel there has been enough discussion and enough support early on to merit its closure. Any thoughts or concerns should be brought up on my talk at your convenience. — _Maggot^Syn 12:59, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
