- I... added a word?
- Love, I only really created an account so I wouldn't have to keep looking at that horrid new skin. Still, thanks for the welcomesis. Even if it is from a template... I'll probably just keep lurking for now, though. ~ Issara (talk) 17:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
- It's meeee!
- And how the hell do you upload an image here?--PeregrineFalcon999 (talk) 00:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- What are you doing here, too, of all places? o__O
- I mean, um... hi. And, er, I think you do that through wikimedia commons. It's... um... *pokes around* It's around somewhere? Er... click on an image; that should get you there, at any rate. Although whyever did you expect me to know? ~ Issara (talk) (stalk) -- 20101004 - 01:35 (UTC)
- I didn't, I was just wondering if you knew.--PeregrineFalcon999 (talk) 07:47, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Isarra, do you sheak Russian? Lyon Kiborg (talk) 14:03, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello. In which way is it possible to make the date in the signature come in a form you wish, as you did? 79.124.206.87 (talk) 21:41, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- Eh, I assume you mean when logged in? Not really doable otherwise, unless you want to manually paste it in. Just use {{subst:''current whatever''}}, the current time templates with substs - ie, I use "''{{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}{{subst:CURRENTDAY2}} - {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}''" for my setup - you can probably find a list of the templates somewhere, and use whatever combination you prefer (within reason) in the sig thing in your preferences. Then just sign with three tildas instead of four. I wouldn't even have bothered doing that here, but I'm so bloody used to signing with three tildas that whenever I do come here I'd get it wrong otherwise... ~ Issara (talk) (stalk) -- 20101130 - 12:23 (UTC)
Hey Isarra!
It's me! --96.248.218.94 (talk) 01:55, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
- If you are indeed the Magic man with whom I am familiar... I am disappointed. Vandalising Wikipedia? A true Uncyclopedian should know better; this is where much of our funny comes from, it is not an enemy to be attacked... ~ Issara (talk) (stalk) -- 20101211 - 07:07 (UTC)
- Only once, on vandalize wikipedia day. --96.248.218.94 (talk) 05:51, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
oh, and hi. In Wikipedia im called as Anotherdeadone —Preceding undated comment added 06:00, 10 January 2011 (UTC).
- Oh, hello. Come to revel in the lots to do, lots to do that is this great heap of projects? Or just laugh at them? I'm here to laugh at them, myself. They're funny.
- Also, usual complaint about not signing - please don't forget to sign your comments, eh? Even if you don't have a userpage yet, having a bot on my talkpage is freakish. ~ Issara (talk) (stalk) -- 20110110 - 06:09 (UTC)
- Hi, Issara, or should I say Lyrithya, guess who I am! --HammerCock 22:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Eh, I do not need to guess. Please, though... mind what you put on your userpage - telling experienced users to not mess with you is rather, ah, cocky, and likely to earn you few favours. ~ Isarra (talk) (stalk) 17:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ly Isarra
I can be an annoying person too. :) Truth is relative, understanding is limited (talk) 17:13, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, you! But you actually seem to be a decent person here... what's with that?! ~ Isarra (talk) (stalk) 22:50, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe that's because I'm actually a rather decent person in reality... ;) Truth is relative, understanding is limited (talk) An undisclosed time (UTC)

How did you know it was me?
You sure got me! I got a new IP address And I just decided to mess around a little bit before creating an account. ( I'm Another n00b ) - Special:Contributions/82.42.93.173 (talk) 22:59, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't. But it was the sort of comparison an Uncyclopedian would make amidst an seemingly unremarkable article. Perhaps in the future, however, instead of modifying things here in such a manner, you keep that stuff on the website that actually appreciates that kind of thing? ~ Isarra (talk) (stalk) 23:21, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Psst...
Hey, Lyrithya? Guess who snuck back in? I actually didn't have any sockpuppets, and that I wasn't ivloved in any sockpuppetry, and I told the admin that blocked me that, and they believed me, but they also said they wouldn't unban me because that was a vandalism account, so they said to create a new account, but they said to not use the new account for vandalizing, or they'd ban me again. So...hi. --Lolliman ( 1 18:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- *GLaDOS voice* Oh... it's you.
- But seriously, hello. I have no idea what you're talking about, but if you're actually here to help out, that makes one of us. Which is good, I think. ~ Isarra (talk) (stalk) 01:58, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Please come to the #Illogicopedia IRC channel please. Thank you. - 16:40, 28 Aym 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Another n00b (talk • contribs)
- I'll give you credit for pestering me on one wiki on which you're actually not banned, but buzz off. If I'm away, it probably means I'm away, so more pestering isn't apt to get my attention, and this isn't the place for that, anyhow. Neither, I might add, were the other two, though for slightly different reasons... now kindly don't do that again. Ban evasion bad. Socking bad. Annoying people cross-wiki bad. Mouldy tacos bad, too, but that's less related. ~ Isarra (talk) (stalk) 23:01, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
- What is this Eye Are See? This ?pedia stepping out cross wiki cross username would make me very cross. I am surprised you put up with it. K3vin (talk) 16:02, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- Listen, could you just please ressurect me on Illogicopedia? Please?? the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption, I understand what I have been blocked for, and will refrain from doing such activities in the future. Fuck's sake, I have learned effectively that I should not remove namespaces without admin consent ( I didn't even know it was a namespace! I thought it was an error. ). May you please ressurect me or at least shorten the block to one day? I apologise. I really am sorry. I'm begging you here to un-instate or decrease the length of my block. I feel ashamed at myself for doing such a silly act. I'm ok with that. I need some ?pedia, just please PLEASE at least think about it in the very near future. Thank you. - Another n00b (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

It ain't bloody fair. *grumbles* -— Isarra (talk) 01:29, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

- Oh, but we do. Need to purify the internets, and all. There be lurking wikipedias and other dastrous things. Can't have those. Nuh-uh. Although from the looks of what's going on on commons, it doesn't take much to cause mass killage around these parts anyway... and here I thought we'd deleted a lot of files on uncylopedia when we went after all the unused ones... o_O -— Isarra (talk) 02:58, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi!
As you can see, I'm a good citizen now, although I edit on weird topics. Importing pics here is a pain, I am scared to try for fear that someone may find I infringe something and then go to my talkpage and see... Well you know. Mattaidepikiw (talk) 05:41, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- Good faith, man. Good faith. How is your knowledge of copyrights? — Isarra (talk) 05:48, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- Upload a picture. If it's on the Internet, it's because it's OK! Mattaidepikiw (talk) 07:00, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- Uh... no. I would advise reading this, assuming you can get through it without your eyes glazing over. I never made it past the table of contents, myself. — Isarra (talk) 07:40, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 4
Hi. When you recently edited Al Warda al-baida, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Musical (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:47, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

- So same format? — Isarra (talk) 20:47, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Better get used to it, there exist people who appreciate works of others!
- Yes, same format :) I did the US OR-09 level for you as an example.

User script listing cleanup project
I'm leaving this message for known script authors, recent contributors to Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts, and those who've shown interest in user scripts.
This scripts listing page is in dire need of cleanup. To facilitate this, I've created a new draft listing at Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts cleanup. You're invited to list scripts you know to be currently working and relevant. Eventually this draft page can replace the current scripts listing.
If you'd like to comment or collaborate on this proposal, see the discussion I started here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts#Scripts listing cleanup project. Thanks! Equazcion (talk) 04:33, 25 Mar 2012 (UTC)

- You should be afraid. Be very afraid. Actually I wrote a script to show people's vector/common.js pages as tabs and went through names at village pump. Anyone that seemed to like scripts got canvassed. So don't feel so special :P :) Thanks for the attention at VPT by the way. Equazcion (talk) 20:08, 25 Mar 2012 (UTC)
- Seemed to like scripts, though, I mean... oh, whatever. That's probably as good a way to go about it as any. Cheers. I just like it when people ask about stuff I know. Makes me feel... like I know things. — Isarra (talk) 20:18, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

You're awesome!!
I already miss you! You are the most principled person I ever "met" on that cyber reality of ours. Your home is with us! We are the best, and I mean the BEST on the internet for comedy. The only difference between us and The Onion is that these guys do it for money, we do it for fun. Mattaidepikiw (talk) 05:13, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
- I do this for fun, too. I like this place; it may be a bloody encyclopaedia, of all things, part of a pile of other weird projects, but it... they're nice, which is one thing that Uncyclopedia just plain ain't much of the time, and that has unfortunately taken its toll on me. I'm sorry, but for all our sakes I have to stay away for now. Consider me on indefinite wikibreak until such time as I may or may not wander back, though if you absolutely do need something in the meantime - things fixed, abusefilter monkeyed, scripts updated, people you don't like quietly taken out in the night - you know where to find me. Not here, though. Shoo. This page is for Wikipedia and squirrels. Especially squirrels. — Isarra (talk) 08:40, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

thansk for making my singnatures look cool i owe you thanks ;D. and sorry for that messed up question i asked about the purple thingFriendly ant (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:09, 26 March 2012 (UTC).
- No worries, man. You still don't seem to have it quite right, though - from the looks of things, you just pasted it when you signed. While that works, there is a much better way to do it - go to your preferences, scroll down a little to the 'Signature' section, and paste the code into the space. Then check the box immediately under it to 'Treat the above as wiki markup.'. Saving that, you should then be able to sign with four tildes (~~~~) like normal, which will produce the new signature and a timestamp (date) automatically. And that way it'll work with scripts, too, like the wikilove thing. That make sense? — Isarra (talk) 21:57, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted
I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon. It's 1-3 June and registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, just mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
Our goals for the event are to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.
Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 15:02, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Wooten Hooten Hooton
Hello-I noticed your speedy tag on File:EAHooten.png and assume it's because it is still spelled wrong. The man's name is spelled "Hooton" and ideally might be best resolved via a page move. Would this resolve the issue? Professor marginalia (talk) 23:20, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Nevermind :). Looks like you sorted it out. Thanks! Professor marginalia (talk) 23:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yup. Only took two filemovers to figure that one out, and another admin or two to clean up after us... BUT WE GOT IT RIGHT IN THE END. Didn't we? I hope we did; be pretty embarrassing were it still wrong even after all that. — Isarra ༆ 23:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey Isarra
(Ryn910 11:27, 8 May 2012 (UTC)) So, can I re-create the template Research Universities in the Philippines again? If so, Tnx a lot and GodSpeed Always! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryn910 (talk • contribs)
- While it was deleted as WP:G7 (author request), the template was also up for deletion, so I'm afraid it may be a little more complicated than just recreating it. You should probably talk to some of the folks who put it up for deletion in the first place and address their concerns before you do anything else with it, or chances are it will just wind up up for deletion again. -— Isarra ༆ 16:16, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
The Sparrows
Just so you know, the father of the founding member of the band 'The Sparrows' was a member of the military unit 'The Sparrows.' So, the nickname for the military unit obviously came before the band. I'm reverting back to my original alteration. If you have any comment, drop me a line. Cheers, User talk:Bofors40mm
- Right, sorry for not getting back to you about this at the time; thing is a little weird so my first instinct was to run away. Part of the issue was just the manner of the move - copy and paste moves hide the entire history of the article itself; when renaming/moving a page, you need to use the 'move' tab so it actually takes the history with it. While I would have just tried to fix it, I unfortunately couldn't seem to figure out what the correct title actually should be - according to the article, the name of the band is 'The Sparrow', not 'The Sparrows', and according to a quick search for reliable sources to say one way or the other, well, I couldn't find seem anything at all. Now I'm personally not very good at actually finding sources, but that can be a sign that a thing may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, so perhaps the article shouldn't even exist in the first place, for all I know. If you have any sort of mentor or someone you can ask who might be more knowledgeable about such things, you should probably try asking them about this, though.
- As for the disambiguation itself, you don't need to make a disambiguation page when there are only two things, especially when they have completely different normal names, regardless of which might have come first. In this case, someone on the artillery page, for instance, probable won't have wound up there when searching for the band, though it might go the other way around - so only the band, with the more generic name, would probably need any disambiguation, and for that you can use a hatnote template to suggest the other. Hope that helps. -— Isarra ༆ 19:59, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Moving evidence to workshop (WP:RFAR/Fae)
Hey Isarra,
I just wanted to let you know I have moved yours as well as Rich Farmbrough's evidence submission to the workshop page. Given the lack of diff's or supplementary links to evidence, the workshop page is a more appropriate place for what you posted.
Many Thanks

- Sorry about the identity confusion :) My bad ctrl c+v'ing. Anyway the arb's want to try a new way of doing the workshop stuff and to me it seem silly to have your stuff sat there so I am going to re-add what you posted. Sorry for the messing around. Both the arbs and the clerks are just doing our best to keep the page as drama free as possible so bear with us :) Seddon talk 15:33, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages
Dear Author/Isarra
My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and Why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Forensic Facial Reconstruction. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 16:33, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks For Staying Alert
Hi,
Thanks for staying alert and reverting changes of unknown user. You might got, about which matter I'm talking about.
Thanks Again — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devoutly (talk • contribs) 09:26, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your work on this... unfortunately, having looked through the article, I've had to revert your additions as well as they do not adhere to a neutral point of view. Anything you could do to improve the article while keeping to that, however, would be very much appreciated, as such topics tend to attract considerable scrutiny from both fans and... whatever the opposite of fans are. -— Isarra ༆ 16:43, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Request to see where I attacked a user
I contest the suggestion that I attacked anyone. I think you'll find my edit was measured, considering the previous editor insulted me by suggesting what I wrote as 'Rambling'.
Please by all means, highlight the offending section.
It occurs to me, you may be a bot as this 'warning' was curiously issued so rapidly.
Boundarylayer (talk) 16:43, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- As I linked, it was this edit to which the warning was referring. Calling someone's attitude passive aggressive, questioning their understanding of reality, going on about how something is the other fellow's personal opinion and calling it all very bizarre, and referring to it as lies are not exactly conducive to a collaborative environment. Now I'll grant, 'attack' may not be entirely the right term, but your approach is needlessly confrontational and not apt to help matters when it comes to actually settling the dispute. Please, reconsider your wording. I'm not actually familiar with the dispute, but while it is clear that you do not agree with the other editor, maybe you can find some middle ground? -— Isarra ༆ 16:51, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Userboxes
Can you please show me how to put userboxes like you did on my page?Receptie123 (talk) 12:56, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- You already had the beginnings of it there, just had some things misformatted. You can see what all I changed by looking at the diff here, but basically the userboxes are all in a table, which each userbox in its own row/cell. Putting the |- between each line with a userbox fixed that so it rendered properly. Does that help? -— Isarra ༆ 18:55, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
