Re: Additional Function edit

Hi there,

sorry about the long delay, but I've finally gotten around to beefing up my bot a little, and now it should be able to handle et al. properly. Just for the hell of it, I've added in vitro, in vivo, and in silico too. Typographical Nirvana awaits :) Cheers, CmdrObot 00:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Administrate -> Administer edit

How 'bout adding "administrate" (and administrated and administrating) to the list of things your 'bot fixes? Use of this made-up word and its tenses seems to be a common error across a lot of pages. --Jhfrontz (talk) 06:30, 16 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi again,
Personally, I agree with you, "administrate" feels like a longer and over-complicated way of saying "administer." However, I did a bit of digging, and according to Bartleby it's a perfectly valid word and has been around since the 17th century. Since Wikipedia's style guide seems to be silent on the issue, I think it would be better to leave this one alone for the time being.
Thanks for the suggestion all the same. CmdrObot (talk) 13:01, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, hyphenation of compound adjectives is a one of those "I'll fix the world!" (or is it "I'll-fix-the-world"?) campaigns that rages in my troubled mind ;-) --Jhfrontz (talk) 16:38, 17 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'll draw your attention to an extract from the words of an old (1984) Sting song: Consider Me Gone:
I've spent too many years at war with myself
Doctor has told me it's no good for my health
To search for perfection is all very well
But to look for heaven is to live here in hell

Cybertropolis edit

Hey Jhfrontz. For the time being, I've taken the liberty of merging the contents of this article into the main article for Muscatatuck Urban Training Center. There's currently not really enough content on the main article to justify spinning off stand-alone articles for individual programs. I've personally trained at Muscatatuck quite a few times (god their food is awful), and there's certainly a lot of content that can be added to that page, which is probably where we should look to improve coverage for the time being, and then spin off stand-alone articles if the individual sections become to cumbersome to fit in the main article.

I think the CoinDesk folks might take offense at being called a "crypto blog" (check out https://www.coindesk.com/about for other info about all of the media/events/tools they provide) but I'll happily add a bunch more references. --Jhfrontz (talk) 16:31, 28 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
