Resp: Adoption

Hey, sorry for the late resp, I've been a bit busy in RL. I'd be happy to adopt you, there's some similarity in our editing style. Well, if you have any question or need any help, just come across. Do you have any goals on Wiki? Cheers! Dfrg_msc 23:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, you seem to know where you towel is, I agree - finding a area of specialization can be good. Where have you tired? Where can you see yourself editing? There are a few cool monobook codes that can make editing quicker and more efficient, the miantay being at Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts, I find User:Zocky/Picture Popups and User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool (which you need non-admin roll-back to use if you are interested) useful. Also do you use IE or Firefox?

Being a good editor is not necessarily about how much time you can devote, I can't afford much myself. You just have to edit smarter:) Getting an article featured is always good. And no problem about the adopting, your part of the family now. Were going to have some fun! Cheers! Dfrg_msc 03:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm online now, I have not got to resp your earlier post, as the vandalism is flying thick and fast. Lupin's Anti-Vandalism tool is great, I use it over Vandal proof. I have no idea why there is no automated message, can you revert by clicking [rollback] with Use non-admin rollback ticked? If you want templates they are here at: Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace, or WP:UTM. Cheers! Dfrg_msc 22:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, FF is brilliant, I love that in built spell-checker for article writing. If you would like to solve problems between users yuo should check out Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal.

The Mediation Cabal is a bunch of volunteers providing unofficial, informal mediation for disputes on Wikipedia. We do not impose sanctions or make judgments. We at MedCabal are not at all official and are just ordinary Wikipedians. We facilitate communication and help parties reach an agreement by their own efforts.

I was a member of the AMA (WP:AMA) before it was canned - but that was long time ago. I see your problem with What Is Your Dangerous Idea?, it's difficult to express many POV's in artilce space, and in then end, it's not wroth as much to the featured requirement as say, being well sourced. I'm glad you got the scripts, they help don't they? Cheers! Dfrg_msc 23:19, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

It's an interesting problem, I like the idea in which the best two opposite ideas of each topic, are included, and limit it to only a feew sub-sections. As long it was kept concise, you could put out the POV's. Hmm, if you really want to get an article featured have a look at Wikipedia:Featured article criteria and Wikipedia:Featured article review. can your article fulfill all the criteria listed there? If it can't - then you'll have to find a new article. Make sure before you put a lot of work in. I'm not sure where else there is dispute resolution, lots' of AfD's can get quite heated though, you could help there. if you wanted to help users, you could see, Wikipedia:Welcoming committee. What do you think of vandal-fighting and RCP-ing? and Cheers, Dfrg_msc 00:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and if there's ever a wiki-acronym you don't know, (like WP:NCR) just ask me. Dfrg_msc 00:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Yep, fighting vandalism can be great for your edit count, I see (from your edit summary) you are not particularity good with Wiki-code, you don't have to good, but If you'd like to learn, just ask. Cheers, Dfrg_msc 09:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Adoption

Damn, I didn't see your message on my talk page the first time. I would've been happy to adopt you. Happy editing; Cheers, Lex ^T/_C Guest Book 12:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

That's ok, we can both work to make Slartibartfast a better editor. What do you think? Dfrg_msc 03:05, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I see no problem with that. --Slartibartfast1992 21:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Why did you revert my user edit?

I added text to the page for user 170.20.96.116, who is used by someone called Sarah who was trying to alter the Ike Turner page. Then you go and revert it. Why not revert everything else people have added to her page?

The content you added was not appropriate, mocking the other user. Other edits warned her of ther vandalism. --Slartibartfast1992 00:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Long over-due...

		The Special Barnstar
		This is kind of over-due, but - Here you go, Slartibartfast, for being the first editor to welcome me to Wikipedia! Thanks alot! Midorihana(talk)(contribs) 22:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome :) Now to get a draft of the article done! Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 00:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I've created a seperate page in my userspace here: User:-Midorihana-/Sandbox/Drafts for input of ideas for the article etc., just to let you know. Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 01:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Finished draft, tell me what you think. Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 02:02, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

LOL, Happy holidays to you too! Cheers, Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 01:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Your userpage
It's alive! Just kidding.
Interesting, you draw on George Orwell's works alot there. :) Cool userpage, quite funny! Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 05:41, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I believe the code is {{User:Vishwin60/Userbox/vandalized|0}}. I'm not too sure where the user talk one is, I thought there was one somewhere, eh. Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 19:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliments! The work never ends, there's two more books in the series I need to work on. --Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 20:25, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I think there's something funny in your sig, the time is always a space below your name. Just to let you know.  :) --Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 03:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, in that case, Happy Birthday!  :) (I probably won't be editing tomorrow either) --Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 21:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and great work too on the article! --Midorihana_{(talk)(contribs)} 22:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Assessment

I do; at one point I did quite a lot, though I never managed to get through the A's in the unassessed philosophy category. Thanks for the heads up! I'm not familiar with the book, but I'll give the article a read and come up with some figures. Happy editing, — xDanielx ^T/_C\^R 20:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
