[edit] February 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Talk:Lord Voldemort/Archive 4 has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

[edit] Re: post on my user page

How do I edit my userpage? That's for me to know, and you to find out! Actually, I got sick of endless vandalism, so it's really for would-be vandals to find out...

Also I have a talk page for a reason, please do not edit my user page unless you have a legitimate reason. (like a typo)J.delanoygabsadds 20:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

If you accidentally posted on my user page, why didn't you get rid of it after you realized your mistake? The reason I used the tone of voice above is because, like I said, I attract a lot of vandalism on my user page, so I probably jumped to conclusions. I apologize for being an idiot.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Lamia (Stardust)

A tag has been placed on Lamia (Stardust) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cats

No, any editor can & will remove article categories wrongly placed on user pages. Johnbod (talk) 16:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Voldemort category

Could you drop by the Voldemort talk page and give your reason for including Voldemort in the Fictional Immortals category? We seem to have a revert war almost brewing, and the "Summary of changes" is probably not the best vehicle to make one's points. I've put my own opinion on the matter there, but I hardly consider it the final word. Cheers. Magidin (talk) 18:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

And not adding to the heat by calling people 'sweetheart' or calling it a fight doesn't really help. In fact, using those sorts of cheap tactics will get your ass (editorially) handed to you by someone much, much better at tossing taunts than you. Not saying I am the guy who would do it (six months ago, I would have unequivocally been the one wearing the ass-handing gloves), but throwing down a gauntlet like that invites a lot of hassles you simply don't need, as they would pretty much harsh your buzz. So, dial it down some, okey-doke? Consider it friendly advice from another Oxie.- Arcayne (cast a spell) 00:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Boy, you don't know how glad I am to hear from you, Jupe. I was so worried that I had done something in the past to piss you off. I had looked at your edit history and was mightily impressed, which made the perception all the more disappointing. I am glad you were kidding. I totally missed it. :) - Arcayne (cast a spell) 00:33, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Susan

Hi! You've added "Adam Susan" to Category:Fictional emperors and empresses. I'm not convinced about this; the comic mentions "Queen Zara", so technically Susan isn't the Head of State, merely the equivalent of Prime Minister. Also - I'm not convinced that there's any evidence Britain has any kind of empire during V for Vendetta's time period: Europe has been turned into a thermonuclear wasteland, as had North America, and I can't recall any mention of overseas territories. Do you know something I don't? Anyway, thought it best to ask you because it's a while since I read the comic and I don't have it to hand.

Cheers!  This flag once was red  19:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

No worries, and thanks for getting back to me. Susan was quite different in the comic - much more introverted, and with an insane trust in "Fate", the government computer. I've left the cat in place as I suppose the film version ("Sutler") could be an Emperor? I've only seen the film once (whereas I've read the comic too much, bought the graphic novel as soon as it came out to stop my comic collection falling apart in my hands, etc...!)
Cheers

[edit] Re 172.x

NrDg blocked him an hour ago. Yes, he's obsessed, or at least obsessive. See [1] for some history, been going on a long time now. Bazzargh (talk) 14:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I know - I revert his stuff several times a week, my watchlist includes all his current targets, several other editors do the same. As for the insults, well, I don't feed the troll. Bazzargh (talk) 15:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I've been trying to avoid giving that guy any recognition recently. At one point last week he did try to get more serious about his attacks, registering multiple sockpuppets from multiple addresses; but usually just revert, warn is enough. He seems to have got the message that if I'm the one warning him he'll get blocked for continuing, which takes the fun out of it; but my warnings are plain uw1,2,3,4's now with no comment about sockpuppetry.

[edit] Artemis Fowl II and narcolepsy

Do you mind telling me where he spends a lot of time unconscious? Calvin 1998 (t-c) 22:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

He doses off after drinking tranqueliser in champagne in the first book although we can let that one pass. He is however easily incapicated by Holly Short in The Arctic Incident, immediately after waking up he is again easily incapacitated. He was unconscious an uncountable amount of times in The Eternity Code and The Opal Deception but he seems to be awake an uncharacteristic amount of time in The Lost Colony. Nevertheless he spends most of the series out cold which speaks volumes for the sheer dullness of the character in my opinion. But if you want me to then I'd be happy to leave him out of the offending cat. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 23:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The definition of narcolepsy is a disease that causes you to fall asleep during the day. Artemis doesn't have this - he's just out cold a lot (different from asleep). Calvin 1998 (t-c) 23:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SALT

Hey there Jupiter. I was browsing through CfDs when I saw your question about salting. Salting is basically putting a protection from creation on an article, or in this case category, to prevent it from being recreated after it has been created and deleted multiple times. If you need any more information, you can read about it here. Have a great day, Mastrchf (t/c) 21:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanky you, likewise. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 10:32, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Page Movie

Er... was there a specific reason that you needed to test that out using these pages? Wouldn't it have been simpler all around just to make a test page for it or something? Just curious. --Human.v2.0 (talk) 14:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CFD discussions

Hi Jupiter, may I suggest that it would generally be helpful to track down then add a link to past CFD discussions when referring to them in discussions or new nominations? No hard feelings! :-)   Fayenatic (talk) 16:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The only thing worse than being witty...

(Reference to the Monty Python sketch). You might want to throw in the occasional smiley; I am assuming, that is, that you were being funny. Remember that it is extremely hard to convey tone. Regards, Magidin (talk) 20:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Rest assured, you did not upset me. My point was that a passerby reading your last comment might easily mistake it for an out-and-out insult, instead of what it was intended to be (or for that matter, if I were having a bad day I might fall into that mistake myself; or had I come back to it in a few days, having forgotten the back-and-forth that preceded it). As I mentioned, it is very hard to convey tone in writing, even with context, hence the invention of the smiley. (-: As for the "superiority complex" thing, it was likewise meant to be a joke, based on what I understood to be an over-the-top joke about looking for "worthy opponents" who were seldom to be found, which you wrote somewhere or other (can't find it now...) My original comment had been "I see your superiority complex and raise you a Ph.D. in Maths for pedantry"; meaning, as in poker terms, I can match the complex and have even more to back it up. But I edited it a bit. (-: Regards, Magidin (talk) 02:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Voldemort comment

The comment you replied to was not mine; I merely corrected "sence of humour" to "sense of humour". Regards, Magidin (talk) 20:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Wikipedians who have named themselves after gods

Hi there. I have nominated this category for speedy deletion at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion, as I believe that it is a definite case of overcategorisation. Imagine if this principle was applied to everything, we could have "Category:Wikipedians who have named themselves after their real names", "Category:Wikipedians who have named themselves after celebrities", "Category:Wikipedians who have named themselves after their pets" ... Frickeg (talk) 09:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Charismatic Wikipedians

I've proposed to rename the user category Category:Charismatic Wikipedians. Since you are listed a member, you may be interested in participating in the discussion.--Tikiwont (talk) 13:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
