Holiday cheer

Holiday Cheer
Michael Q. Schmidt my talk page is wishing you Season's Greetings! This message celebrates the holiday season, promotes WikiLove, and hopefully makes your day a little better. Spread the seasonal good cheer by wishing another user a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Share the good feelings.
Thank you, Michael. Merry Christmas to you! LadyofShalott 21:02, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Jay Westerveld

Please take a look at edits being made by administrator JFHJr. This administrator's edits appear to be becoming more biased and irrational with each new change.

Q

Lady (et alia)--will you please have a look at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_July_23#Category:Rape_victims? I was about to create this category when I saw the discussion. FYI, I was going to add Saint Non to it, hardly BLP matter. Drmies (talk) 17:25, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Urgh. Can we avoid the whole BLP thing with Category:Historical rape victims or some such? I see that the article on Non says "tradition holds..." So in her case is it even historical? "Category:Historical figures believed to have been raped" doesn't really cut it. Would "Saints who were rape victims" have more than one entry? (Not really a suggestion - just thinking "out loud" a bit.) LadyofShalott 20:43, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
I'm a medievalist. I accept that historicity is a malleable concept--for them, it was true. The saint's calendar is full of such facts which we wouldn't even call facts anymore: "tradition holds" applies to any saint of her time and before, and for a lot of the ones afterward. And if it was just her it wouldn't be worth the trouble (though female saints were frequently threatened with sexual violence), but I looked at Category:Rape and found such women as Artemisia Gentileschi; it struck me as unfair that recent "historical" rapists get their little memorial but such women don't get the category. Anyway, I was just wondering out loud--you know I usually come to you with philosophical questions. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:39, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
I like the idea of a historical rape victims category. Also, it seems reasonable to have a category for rape victims whose notability in some way relates to it (but who are not solely notable for that. I'm thinking cases like where a woman becomes an advocate for, e.g., other rape victims, or a proponent of tougher sexual predation laws, etc. in response to her own rape. Come here anytime with your philosophical questions; I just hope my responses have some usefulness. LadyofShalott 01:54, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
Right. I have no intention of making a list that victimizes victims even more, though it might be difficult to define a scope/rationale that allows for inclusion as well as exclusion. That a person would have to be dead is one obvious way of doing it, but that would exclude current advocates. Let me write up a category description following your suggestion.

LGBT question

Hi Aleta, Merry Holidays! I can't really tell where the line is when it comes to LGBT articles. David Crosby (of CSNY) fame merits mention for a LGBT category of some kind. He was the sperm donor for Melissa Etheridge's former common law wife, Julie Cypher, during the time she and Etheridge were in a committed relationship, which led to the birth to two children via invitro fertilization. Would that not qualify for the LGBT Category--there are references to prove it in the Personal section in the article. Please answer me on my talk page, OK? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 23:38, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Great, then-- would you do the honors of placing the pro-LGBT tag on the talk page of David Crosby? Thanks! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 23:30, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Seeking advice from random Admin, picked you

So, you're an Admin. How does one attract more eyes to a Template Discussion (I followed the official instructions to the letter but no one seems interested in discussing)? On December 21, I proposed merging Template:Coptic Popes into Template:Patriarchs of Alexandria, because upon close examination the latter is a perfect superset of the former. Adopting the color scheme and right-hand illustration previously of Template:Coptic Popes would be good, though, for a reason I explained on the TFD.

So, should I just message a bunch of people even though that's a lot of work? I guess the worst that could happen is that it just gets Relisted a dozen times. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 10:26, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, sending messages to a bunch of people could be the worst possible way to deal with it. Even if you are trying to pick folks at random, you may be accused of canvassing, and you don't want that. A couple suggestions for you are to add a WP:RfC template to it. The other is to notify relevant wikiprojects, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oriental Orthodoxy, Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy, possibly Wikipedia:WikiProject Egypt. LadyofShalott 17:40, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. That's the whole point of brainstorming these things.
Anyway, I'll put a Talk Page Section on all 4 of the Wikiprojects you mentioned, and then Watch them. We'll see what happens from there. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 18:15, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Update: Those notices are now posted. Thank you! The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 18:27, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

James H. Fetzer

Hi, Lady. If it's not too much trouble, I was wondering if you might keep an eye on Talk:James H. Fetzer like you did last summer. The subject of the article has begun posting again and I have a suspicion that he thinks I'm simply being pigheaded in my edits and reverts. Thanks, and Happy New Year! Location (talk) 05:04, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I'll take a look. :) LadyofShalott 05:07, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

New Year's Greetings

I don't want to try to drop notes on everyone's pages and inadvertently leave someone out, so I'll just say this here. May you all have a happy and prosperous 2013, with lots of good content additions and minimal "drama" (unless you're editing about The Bard or someone of his ilk, just not that other kind). LadyofShalott 15:27, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Belated Happy New Year with a Toast!

Here's a toast to the host
Of those who edit wiki near and far,
To a friend we send a message, "keep the data up to par".
We drink to those who wrote a lot of prose,
And then they whacked a vandal several dozen blows.
A toast to the host of those who boast, the Wikipedians!

A Very Happy (belated) New Year to you LadyofShalott! Enjoy the Whisky ~TheGeneralUser (talk) 23:22, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

The same to you, TGU! Can we make that whiskey a hot toddy? I hope you saw my New Year's greetings up the page a bit. LadyofShalott 00:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes I saw :), but you know I prefer to personally wish my fellow Wikipedians. And sure make it a hot toddy (cold for me), with a nice hot, spicy and crispy special dish (any)! Hope to have it soon because i am yet to have my Dinner ;) Regards. ~TheGeneralUser (talk) 00:18, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for killing the guy

Re: Am I missing something?....

No.

I got an edit conflict with you as I was trying to remove Category:Year of death missing. On my first reading, I thought those early sources covered the person, but upon another reading, it appeared that they were only about the law. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 02:46, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Ah ok! We're on on top of one another on that article. I tried to deprod it, but BMK beat me to it. LadyofShalott 02:49, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
...and it turned out he actually is dead. LadyofShalott 16:48, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know. At least he's not as dead as I thought, since I had mistakenly assumed that those 1838 and 1847 refs discussed his work. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 19:31, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve Consulting the Oracle

Hi, I'm Jackson Peebles. LadyofShalott, thanks for creating Consulting the Oracle!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thank you for your contributions on "Consulting the Oracle." Given its significance, could you please take time to elaborate on it more?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. —Preceding undated comment added 06:19, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Why, thank you for tagging that as a stub even though I'd already marked it painting stub. Thank you also for this message which implies I don't know what I'm doing.LadyofShalott 16:47, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
My apologies. I didn't mean to cause any problems. Though it isn't much of an excuse and simply implies that I need to be more careful, I did not notice your tag, so I apologize for this message, as well. Thanks for your contributions. Jackson Peebles (talk) 20:17, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
OK, thanks. I see that you are fairly new to editing and are undergoing adoption. If you have questions with which I can help, please let me know. (Also if you think I have goofed somewhere, please do drop me a line - just try to avoid the templates.) :) LadyofShalott 20:26, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Mandarax, thank you - really - for your actual help! LadyofShalott 16:47, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
You're welcome. Of course, as you know, in addition to my "actual help", I also made another incorrect assumption, this time about where the quote began. But I knew you'd correct me if necessary. Please feel free to remove that wikilink I added which is now in the quote, per WP:Quotations should not contain wikilinks, although that's a widely ignored guideline.

As I said the last time Drmies got one of those horrid notices, I don't like how it includes a link to the sender's talk page but doesn't include a signature, so SineBot comes along and only dates it but doesn't sign it. At that time a responsible party said that autosigning was on their to-do list, but I don't know why such a simple thing would take so long to do.

But then, why do they even provide the capability to send such a ridiculous message when a stub tag is added? The only "issue" that needed "fixing" was undoing the edit which precipitated the message. And, of course, I'm not saying it's ridiculous only because you're a "regular" or because the addition of the stub was incorrect in this case. It's a ridiculous message for anybody any time just a stub tag is added. As a matter of fact, I think it would be much worse for a newbie. If I were a new user and I created a stub, then someone left me a message about "having some issues to fix" because I didn't make it long enough, I would probably never write anything again. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 22:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

You do have a point. Being a stub is not in and of itself an issue that needs to be "fixed". Sure we'd love all articles to be at least GA-quality, but that doesn't mean a stub is bad or wrong, and the message implies that it is. In related matters, I've been working on a stub for Circe Invidiosa. Want to take a look and see if there are any issues you see with it? If there's a category for collection of the AGoSA, I didn't find it. LadyofShalott 00:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes, there's an issue which requires an immediate fix! That red link is just crying out, "turn me blue". Since it's apparent that you're becoming the Waterhouse person around here, I wouldn't be surprised if you're already on it. Other than that, I don't see any issues. Keep up the good work! MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 02:01, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Heheh, I bet you can guess what book I am reading. I haven't started another article yet, but there's a whole bunch of red spilled all over List of paintings by John William Waterhouse. I don't know how many I'll get "blued", but I'm certainly not done with the topic. (More evidence that the people who say WP is finished have their heads somewhere dark and rude. To be fair, I haven't seen that line anywhere recently, but it seems to keep coming up.) Thanks for taking a look at it! LadyofShalott 02:19, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassadors update

Hi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Wikipedia Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Wikipedia Ambassador.

You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can read more about the proposal here.

Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See Wikipedia:Course pages and Help:Education Program extension for more details.) Included in the extension are online volunteer and campus volunteer user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course.

If you would like to continue serving as a Wikipedia Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile. If you're no longer interested in being a Wikipedia Ambassador, you don't need to do anything.

Please do these steps as soon as possible

First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can grant the rights yourself, for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just post your rights request here, and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible.

Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at:

Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at Special:CampusAmbassadors and Special:OnlineAmbassadors will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list).

After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at Special:Courses. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.)

As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to me (Sage Ross) with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at Wikipedia:Course pages, and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them here.

Communication and keeping up to date

In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program:

  1. The education noticeboard has become the main on-wiki location for discussion of the Education Program. You can post there about broad education program issues as well as issues with individual courses.
  2. The Ambassadors Announce email list is a very low-traffic announcements list of important information all Ambassadors need to be aware of. We encourage all Ambassadors (and other interested Wikipedians) to subscribe to the list; follow the instructions on the link to add your email address.
  3. If you use IRC regularly, or need to try to reach someone immediately, the #wikipedia-en-ambassadors connect IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors.
Ambassador training and resources

We now have an online training for Ambassadors, which is intended to be both an orientation about the Wikipedia Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings for students and for educators as well.)

Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A primer on setting up and using course pages is included in the educators' training.

The Resources page of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it.

Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the Trophy Case whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way!

Need your Advice and Guidance

Dear LadyofShalott, I need some advice and guidance on how to effectively create new articles, expand/add new well sourced content and hopefully promote well written article's to good article and featured article status. I see you have a vast amount of experience in writing articles and creating new ones. Therefore I needed someone who I can trust and is well experienced in this area like you. Majority of your edits are in the article namespace and I would like to learn the good article editing skills that you have :) Your help in this regard will be very useful! ~TheGeneralUser (talk) 18:36, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, TGU, my short answer is sources! Whatever you type into an article, have a good source for it. I'll write more later, but just have time for a quick answer, and that is it. :) LadyofShalott 19:19, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I can do the boring busy work--and there's a lot for this guy, and boy is it tedious to template all those reviews!--but I couldn't write a decent bibliography if my life depended on it.

Hi Lady :) ! Hope all is well. I wanted to let you know that the WikiWomen's Collaborative has recently underwent renovations to make it visually more attractive and easier to find resources. I'd love for you to be involved - since you are a founding member, of course. You'll find resources about getting involved in blogging, Facebook, and more. I also encourage you make an introduction, which is easy to do with a click of a button. I'm moving back to volunteering at the end of the month, and I really hope the project can continue to thrive and grow with volunteer support. See you there, i hope!

User:Starship9000/ Tornado (Parque ded Acciones ded Madrid)

Dear LadyofShalott,

I created a draft article called User:Starship9000/ Tornado (Parque ded Acciones ded Madrid). The draft article is about the Inverted roller coaster named Tornado. Please check if there is anything I need to add to the article. If yes, then I will do it. Please check if it is good or if it needs more information about the roller coaster. If the draft article is ready for mainspace, then should I move it to the mainspace?Should I go look up more information on a different wikipedia once I translate it to english? Please check if it is good! If not, then I will improve it more. You can leave a note on my talk page if you have anything. Good Luck editing! --Starship9000 (talk) 17:13, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Starship, I made a few minor cleanup edits to your draft. I also added {{userspace draft}} to it and disabled the categories. (Just remove the nowiki tags when you move it to mainspace.) It's not yet ready for the mainspace yet. If you can find more information about it, that would be great; the most important thing though is that it has no secondary sources. The one source you've used is from the park itself, and that's called a primary source. It's fine to use primary sources for basic facts about the subject, as you have. We do require secondary sources though - those are ones written by some source not related to the subject. For instance, have there been articles in any newspapers or magazines about the Tornado? Maybe there are books about great roller coasters or theme parks that discuss it? That's the kind of source you need to find to show notability. LadyofShalott 17:31, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

No, you will find a external link on here. It tells you the information about the roller coaster. How do I add a second source to it? I also putted a reference when I started it. --Starship9000 (talk) 21:24, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

OK, how about incorporating that external link as a reference to the article? It's still not much to show notability - a database of roller coasters does not indicate that any one roller coaster is significant. As for how to add a secondary reference, you do it the same way you did the first one. LadyofShalott 19:19, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Can you please point me to the part of the article that "indicate[s] why its subject is important or significant" ? looking at the logs it has been deleted before and this one line article would be deleted at AfD. LightGreenApple talk to me 06:19, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

The prior deletion was for unrelated reasons and is irrelevant. It's being claimed (on the talk page, granted) that it's a tourist attraction, and looking at Gbooks, I see lots of potential references. Does the article need work? Lots of it. Do I think it needs to be deleted without further consideration? No. LadyofShalott 06:23, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

User:Starship9000/ Tornado (Parque ded Acciones ded Madrid)

I added 2 external links to the article. I added a on ride video of Tornado. I added the database of the roller coaster when I first started the draft article. Please check if it is good! If it is, then it is ready for the mainspace. If not, then I will add more things to it. I also added another reference to the article which is about the on ride video of Tornado. Please do leave a note on my current talk page if you think its good or not. --Starship9000 (talk) 01:14, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Happy Tsagaan Sar

Happy Tsagaan Sar!
According to Mongolian tradition, on Bituun you are to eat until you are full, which will prevent you from being hungry in the coming year. Have these hearty buuz. Also note I read that to mean that you should also drink until you are full, so you will not be thirsty in the coming year. kelapstick(bainuu) 21:08, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm somewhat at a dead end with Plate wobbler. Will I get my first article deleted? Drmies (talk) 16:04, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm... although the purpose is different, it sounds somewhat similar to a whoopee cushion. If there's not enough to justify a stand-alone article, perhaps it can be merged, maybe to the list linked from whoopee cushion (but I haven't yet looked at that).

Education outreach for an AfD.

LadyofShallot, since you are one of the ones working on educational institution outreach, I wanted to bring to your attention an AfD of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pitt County Emergency Management. I agreed with the nom about deletion, but upon looking into it found that it was probably a class project. See the userpage of Emplanning (talk · contribs). Looks like they tried to create a mini WikiProject in their userspace. They wound up moving the article to the wrong place eventually, but now it is going through AfD. They haven't edited in a while, so maybe this is an abandoned project (they graduated or whatever), but wanted to alert you regarding this in case this might become a recurring "project". Other users involved are Cindyjb (talk · contribs), Cswells (talk · contribs), and JosASamuels (talk · contribs). Don't know if this would qualify for Wikiversity or not. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 03:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Tornado drill -> Tornado preparedness

I wouldn't say so much that I was bitten in a merger, but I have rather well-developed lack of confidence in anything I nominate lately. I've had terrible luck at AfD, had a couple slam dunk ITN nominations nearly derail, and can't seem to find any pictures to nominate at FPC that are outstanding enough for the !voters. When it got to proposing that merger I just decided I'd better cover all my bases since with my luck I'd have a mob out for my head if I didn't. Ks0stm (TCGE) 05:35, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Well, I'm sorry your confidence has been stomped upon recently, but I think you have little to worry about in this matter. The proposed merger is very reasonable. LadyofShalott 06:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

I had pictures looking for an article

My dad and I went out looking for this golf course (didn't play), and I snapped a few pictures, they just needed an article. Would you mind going through it for me, I am thinking I might DYK it. Also, glad to see you are enjoying quality British sci-fi (as a good Commonwealther I always enjoy it), now you, me, and Bgwhite just have to convince the other doctor to come over to the dark side. Did I mention that the cage and skips at the mine here are TARDIS blue? Time and Relative Dimension in Shaft I call it. --kelapstick(bainuu) 06:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Nice. I bet they don't look like a police call box do they? My department will finally get to do programming again in April (after months and months without); one of the events will be Dr Who-themed - probably making sonic scredriver pens. And now it is way past when I should have been asleep. Night night. LadyofShalott 06:56, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the copyedits etc. They do in fact sort of look like police boxes, in that they are blue and box shaped. They do not however travel as fast. Making sonic screwdriver pens is a great idea, I much prefer the sonic cane however. --kelapstick(bainuu) 07:43, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

You have today, without any discussion, effectively deleted the article List of world club champions in association football in favour of another article that has a much more limited scope. In doing so you have effectively rewarded those who posted a CSD notice which, for reasons I pointed out at the talk page, was highly inappropriate and which was posted three times, in clear contradiction to CSD rules. This in relation to an article that has passed an AfD process started in very bad faith by a subsequently banned editor who is a main contributor to the target of the redirect. I would ask you to either explain this redirect, or to revert it. Kevin McE (talk) 23:01, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

I would ask that when you believe I - or any other editor - has made an error, you point it out without acting like a total jerk. LadyofShalott 05:41, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
"He is [...] intolerant of everybody's errors except his own." Charming quote from your talk page - yes, you've demonstrated that well enough. LadyofShalott 05:47, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
I challenged you to explain or revert your action, and gave the reasons why I thought it incumbent upon you to do that. It is your responsibility if you make major changes to pages without any research into the background. It is clear that you did not compare the scope of the two articles, that you did not read the talk page of the article that you deleted, and that you did not review the history of that page in relation to AfDs etc: that makes it a highly inappropriate redirect. You also did so with no reference to the relevant project. Your lack of apology (to users of that page, not to me) is noted. Kevin McE (talk) 09:54, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello LadyofShalott. I really need some help improving user:starship9000/sandbox 1, the sandbox that I am currently writing about which is about the Fink Deck Truss Bridge so is there anything I can do to make it ready and good?

hartselle et al AfD

Regarding your punctuation comment, I fixed that error in the form and all new articles generate it correctly. I haven't gone back and fixed the old ones because the template is in flux and there's a mass AfD. I will coding the ability to compare the article as it is to the template and quickly updating these if this settles down with the AfD defeated. For your perusal, here's the current template for a school in Colorado :

Another thing is please do not add redlinked categories. Find the relevant existing categories. For instance, for the Hartselle article, I found Category:School districts in Alabama and Category:Education in Morgan County, Alabama. LadyofShalott 04:27, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Man, again, I apologize for the incredible racket run by the USPS. It's ridiculous. No Lady, I didn't revert, of course. I wouldn't revert a Lady, as wrong as she may be--I'll have one of my socks do it. Oh, I'd be editing stuff and protecting pages, but I got sidetracked by YouTube, watching live shows from metal bands from the 1980s. No, I'm not proud of it and I won't give any more details.

No worries, nice to help such good causes (Girl Scouts, the US deficit, and my waistline). Maybe I will see what they have at the Kyrgyzstan Duty Free.

Thank you for your help on Werewolf: The Beast Among Us. I feel like that movie took something out of me, something I'll never get back. Drmies (talk) 05:09, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the star. Have you ever seen Druids? I think it's my Werewolf. LadyofShalott 05:17, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Hahaha, read the first cmt on the Druids talk page. Yes, exactly what he said. LadyofShalott 05:22, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, that's funny. Hey, at least that movie has Christopher Lambert in it! But does it have cleavage? Drmies (talk) 05:27, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
No, there's no "at least" about it. The writing was bad; the acting was bad; the directing was bad; the cinematography was bad. Cleavage? Probably. I watched with a couple of my friends several years ago. For much of the film, each of us was sitting there in pain, thinking the other two were Really Into It and not wanting to spoil it for them. Finally something broke, so we all knew we were on the same page, and we made fun of it the rest of the film. LadyofShalott 05:42, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Look on the bright side, at least the government isn't threatening to shut you down. But enough bad news, did I mention I am going to Florida in 12 days (and will be in Constantinople in seven)? Doc, still time to take a last minute trip to take the kiddies to Legoland, I will be there on the 20th (and possibly the 21st). --kelapstick(bainuu) 08:36, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

"Oyu Tolgoi will account for 30% of the economy of the nation of just over 3 million people." Damn. LadyofShalott 16:52, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Pity you won't be able to make it Doc, maybe next time. We are looking at getting a travel-trailer, maybe we will swing by Alabama with it next summer. Back to the OT story, it's interesting. The government wants more of a stake in the mine, however at the current stake, they receive 70% of the revenue (from investment and taxation), they do however claim that Rio is being quite loosey-goosey with their money however, and are unimpressed with the amount of money that is spent on management. Can't say I blame them. --kelapstick(bainuu) 21:10, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

ANI Thread

Lady, if your going to close the thread, I'd appreciate a summary that at least acknowledges that the behavior has been disruptive. I don't see anyone in the thread disputing that fact. I feel like your close marginalizes the complaint.--v/r - TP 19:48, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

My close merely intended to end such drama as could be ended. I saw a consensus that there was nothing to be done and therefore no need to contine. If I'd intended to say there was no merit in the complaint I would have done so (but I did not). LadyofShalott 19:58, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
I'd appreciate not being accused of stirring drama for feeling harassed. That sort of logic blames the victim. A close is supposed to summarize the discussion, I'd appreciate if you'd do that. The least accusatory opinion was that Danjel is at least being 'annoying.'--v/r - TP 20:23, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
It is the continuation of the discussion that I would consider drama stirring, and that's what the close stopped. I really don't think the close rationale needs anything added to it. It does not have to summarize the enire content of the discussion. LadyofShalott 20:28, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Alright, well I'm not going to keep harassing you about it but Danjel is likely to ignore the actual comments and take the close as a "I'm doing nothing wrong" and that's my concern. The close will empower him to continue to be disruptive. The comments and discussion at least acknowledged he was being annoying/disruptive. But if you'll not change your mind, and I'm not going to harass you nor stir the pot elsewhere, I guess that's my signal to find something else to do. Thanks for at least discussing it with me.--v/r - TP 20:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Apparently while you were leaving this note, I was in the process of adding to my close rationale. I don't agree with your thoughts on the matter, but perhaps you are correct and if so maybe the expanded rationale will be of some use. LadyofShalott 20:34, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Again, thanks, I appreciate it.--v/r - TP 20:36, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
You're welcome. LadyofShalott 20:38, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Lady - this is the stuff I have been putting up with.--v/r - TP 12:54, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
That is the first time I've interacted with you in, what, a month or so (your last attempt to WP:BAIT was here and that was the last day we interacted on the same page). Further, you could have got what you wanted out of my post to you (me gone), but clearly that doesn't interest you. By all means, continue to whine about how deeply hurt you are by all this.
Sorry to intrude, Lady, but this bullshit needed a response. I fully expect TParis to come back to take the last word, which will probably be quite shrill. I don't think I'll notice to respond to that. Otherwise, I'll be back whenever the next ANI thread screaming for me to be blocked/banned/etc. gets opened against me (which, going by current patterns, should probably be in the next couple of days or so). ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 14:53, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Danjel, stay off TParis's talk page. TParis, stay off Danjel's talk page. I want you both to avoid each other entirely. Consider this a unilaterly enacted interaction ban if you like. LadyofShalott 16:06, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
While unprecedented, could this 'unilateral IBAN' include harassing BrownHairedGirl and Epeefleche as well as that dirt list on Danjel's talk page? I'd be happy to ignore him if the campaign to badger all those who disagree with him were stopped.--v/r - TP 16:33, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
That's just taking us in a circle back to the ANI thread. Sorry, no. In particular, he's entitled to have a gripe list that does not name any names. Stay away from each other. Don't look at that list that irritates you so. LadyofShalott 16:39, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Then this IBAN is effectively a free ticket to continue harassing me and others and silences me to voice a concern. If, like other IBANS, he is not allowed to talk about me per WP:IBAN "make reference to or comment on editor Y anywhere on Wikipedia, whether directly or indirectly" then the list has to go. I don't mean to be tendentious, but avoiding each others talk page isn't the problem. He is going around spamming other people's talk pages with this crap.--v/r - TP 16:56, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Let it drop. LadyofShalott 17:01, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Axe music

I think you notified the wrong editor. TUF-KAT created the page as a redirect to Axé music back in 2004. Topbookclub (talk · contribs) is responsible for the current content. Guettarda (talk) 20:47, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Urgh, thanks. I just let Twinkle do it, and did not pay attention to that. LadyofShalott 20:50, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
