Oh well just got a hot tip on a 94 commodore that travelled from queensland to perth with a french couple who are trying to flog it - might just replace the wife's daewood that was wrecked by our 17 year old :( - as for islands - Its a bit like the pastoral leases (and yes I now have more info on them than i could fix up before new year)- each bit counts and yes it is really worth the effort in my opinion - and just wait till i do my henrietta check on all of them :) - keep up the good work!

As you were the one who blocked my wikipedia account, i would like to appeal that ban. I would like to post a request that my account be unblocked as a vandalism-only account. I would like to produce a deal that if i contribute to any way of vandalising/ critisising/ bullying or any other form that contributes to hurt or humiliation of a person (living or deceased) that my IP address be removed from creating a wikipedia account permanently. The only pages that i wish to edit or change in any other way are my own or friends of mine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pikalenko ( talk • contribs) 09:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC) reply
Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your comments. Please note that on Wikipedia,
consensus is determined by
discussion, not voting, and it is the quality of arguments that counts, not the number of people supporting a position. Consider reading about the
deletion policy for a brief overview for the deletion process, and how we decide what to keep and what to delete. We hope you decide to stay and contribute even more. Thank you!

A second instalment added, incorporating, where relevant, information gleaned from the awesome number of sites and contributions you have made. Still much to do though. Apuldram 20:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC) reply
Many thanks Hesperian, I thought I was going nuts for a minute there! I wrote to Terrycrosby to ask him to remove the tag himself in order to prevent an edit war, but actually you are quite right about the POV tag. The thing is, I just don't want to touch those abuse sections, because you can see how easy it is to get shot down about them! That said, I'm going to spring-clean the whole article once I have a bit more time, and damn the consequences! Thanks again. Rob Lindsey 00:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC) reply
Hi Hesperian, I had exactly the same timeframe as Twenty Years and have already discussed a 12 month no-conflict period with others. Just to let you know. Auroranorth ( !) 03:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC) reply
This is the anon sock. Domaleixo was blocked a few days ago for uncivil comments. (See his contribs) and then (it looks like) he was using anon IPs to evade the block. Now that he's unblocked, he's back. He's clearly breaking WP:3RR but 3RR reports are a pain. I gotta go for now. -- Merbabu 05:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC) reply
I voted "delete" on that AfD because I got the impression that "chucking" was as common as a balk in baseball ... so it really doesn't happen that often? If that's the case, I may change my vote ... Blueboy 96 03:30, 19 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Yeah, I was wondering about that — it didn't seem like a world heritage site, perhaps it was put there by accident. I'll unwatch that now. Jame § ugrono 12:11, 20 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Not wanting to clutter the above thread up with idle chatter, Ile Buache really takes me back to my early days here. It was probably a copyvio from somewhere or other brought about by a combination of newbie enthusiasm and ignorance. — Moondyne 12:28, 2 December 2007 (UTC) reply
For keeping this place real. You are a classic! Funny stuff, keep it up! Twenty Years 13:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC) reply
Yes I did read Wikipedia:Speedy keep immediately before closing the debate. I suggest that you read it as well, but only after you have finished Wikipedia:Deletion policy and Wikipedia:Civility. Your deletion request was disruptive from the start, and a WP:POINT violation once it was clear that the deletion of these templates would not solve the complaints that you posed about accessibility, of which I can find no sign of discussion at Wikipedia talk:Accessibility. You have decided to attack me personally rather than to pursue the discussion constructively on the many fora which are available. As an experienced editor and administrator, you should know better and will understand why I am blocking you for 24 hours to enable you to do the necessary research without further disruping Wikipedia. Physchim62 (talk) 14:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC) reply
In my opinion this was an absurd block and I have unblocked. The diff cited for the block [2] does not contain any personal attacks. Criticism, even strongly worded criticism, is not an attack. Admins blocking others for criticising their decisions is unacceptable as it stifles discussion. I think both you and Psychim could have handled the situation more calmly, but I cannot see any basis for a block. WjB scribe 14:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC) reply
Please stop calling me a liar and refactor your comments. Physchim62 (talk) 12:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Incidentally, it is possible to override the link target tooltip, you have to put the span with the title attribute inside the link. {{ cn}} used to do it. see? The markup ends up being a bit ugly though. Probably still better than creating redirects solely to act as tooltip text though.— Random832 18:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC) reply
I think I prefered your first reply frankly. I dunno what happened in the intervening 18 minutes, but going from a polite explanation of the situation as you saw it to an attack on another user wasn't a good display of judgment. I think you should withdraw that remark and consider a more productive way of resolving this dsipute. WjB scribe 16:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Thanks, and I hope it gets sorted out. By the way, I was enquiring after my own copy of V. when another customer leapt forth and announced that she could tell me everything I needed to know. So I had a short chat about the book with her, when I thought to ask if she knew the relationship between the Author (book) and Author (botanical). I got my answer.

The above Arbitration case has closed, and the final decision can be viewed there. As indicated here, Physchim's administrator access was given up under controversial circumstances, and may only be regained through normal channels.

On 24 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Eolianite, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Hi Hesperian, Very good idea. Actually, whenever I find a genera already used I have been doing just that. But in future I will use higher taxa routinely. Are you actually suggesting going back & fixing all the existing genera names which include (genus)? That's a bit of work. Cheers GrahamBould ( talk) 12:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply
Hi Hesperian,
Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears that my contribution of song lyrics to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moondyne_Joe Wiki page has been removed twice, by Hesperian.
Can you please advise why my original song lyrics contribution has been deleted twice, even after I expressly gave my authorisation for them to be on the page?
Is this page exclusively owned by/for Hesperian? Has Hesperian paid money to own this page, or is this a public contributors page???
Seeing that I am a new member of Wiki, maybe I don't know how things operate here, and I'm sure that there is a simple explanation that can be provided for the action that has been taken.
I am following the Wiki guidelines to contact the user responsible for the deletion before contacting Wiki to make some sense out of the action to delete my contribution, that at the moment makes no sense whatsoever.
Kind regards,
