[edit] Knightly issues

You will note that I signed a perfectly legitimate suggestion to place the article in an acceptable Wiki context ---- but what was done under a numerical ID, well................WBardwin 02:39, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Been there -- random blocks, sigh. I do think "Once upon a time...." would be a good place. Do you? WBardwin 02:48, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

It looks like a great place, I took a look. I'd never heard of it. If you like, you might want to extend an invitation to a couple of highly creative users, Geogre and Filiocht. Don't bother to mention my name, they don't know me, so to speak. Frutti di Mare 22:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The knight fears the seafood

Oh such irony. If you take a look at the history of the Sunterra Market page, you'l find that the person who first added that content was not I. But a man you may have read about. He goes by the name of Dan "Danomight" Hall. Anyhow i'm not sure if it makes a difference that he was the one who wrote the stuff on the Sunterra webpage?...unless the copyrighted stuff was the picture, not the text.[[AshJW 00:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jokes

Maybe you could limit clever jokes like this to pages that aren't in article space? As it stands, that's just vandalism, as far as anybody who doesn't get the joke can tell. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:59, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

My, my. Sorry, but I thought it WAS clever. And aren't you supposed to thank me for experimenting with Wikipedia? Frutti di Mare 20:12, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh! Er, um, thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your experiment worked, and had been reverted. Please make future experiments in the sandbox. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 20:41, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Autoblocks and how

Thanks for your note. Who knows why these picky admins take offense?? Good to see you around again, Frutti di Mare. Up to something? WBardwin 06:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Picky is exactly right, I'm just waiting for them to start objecting to seafood-type names. Nah, up to way too little, how'm I ever going to make admin at this rate? I'd be happy to nominate you, though. --Frutti di Mare 10:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC).

Thanks for letting me know -- let's hope this fame is fleeting! And thanks for your note about an admin nomination. You aren't the first to suggest it, and I have an interest. But, on a personal level, there is considerable illness in my immediate family and, with work, the time I have available here is quite erratic. I'm such a conscientious type (and virtuous too, according to Bishonen) that I would want to contribute in some admin function. I told myself I would try and become an admin after my 10,000 edit, which is coming soon. So, I will keep your offer in mind. Best wishes. WBardwin 22:59, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - I was fixing it as you were, so we had a copyedit. I'm going to try a slightly different approach.Sam 16:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

A couple tweaks made and a paragraph split out - see what you think. Sam 16:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Sam. I've moved your note to Talk:Redwood National and State Parks and replied there. Frutti di Mare 16:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC).

Thank you for your excellent contributions to the Redwoods article...very much appreciated:)--MONGO 20:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

My pleasure. Very interesting article. Cool owl! Frutti di Mare 20:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Frutti di Mare?

Please don't accuse me of making stuff up. I did nothing of the sort. Please try to be civil and assume good faith. How old are you Frutti di Mare? Josie the pussy cat 11:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Old enough to be able to tell made-up rules from real rules. Please note that my message provided a link to where you were making up stuff. Here it is again. Your edit summary there says "This is an ongoing request for adminship". You made that up out of whole cloth, after I had already told you it was an archive. Please use common sense in communicating with other users. Avoid invoking WP:AGF when you've screwed up, unless you want to be taken for a troll. Thank you. Frutti di Mare 14:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC).

I smell a wolf in cat's clothing (c.f. User:Metrocat), perhaps. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 14:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello there, Mr. Stern Administrator. I see. Yes, a mouthful of WP:AGF tends to be a bit of a giveaway. Frutti di Mare 17:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Where's my ice cream?

Please freeze for a better day. Sigh. WBardwin 07:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't be hurt -- I love you too. And I hope you enjoyed it. Since I'm trying to diet, it's best if I just look at it anyway. Thanks for the sentiment. I really hope the new programming will do the trick. The last few weeks of intense blocking have been hard, as I can't even leave messages on others' talk pages. Maybe I can/should look for some lovely seafood for your talk page, although I've never uploaded an image. And sincerely, thanks for your support. WBardwin 07:45, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Too good to be true. First edit this morning, BAM! Autoblock. So here is your ice cream back for safekeeping. Sigh. WBardwin 07:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Dear me, in this heat? OK. I'll get you some pizza di mare when it's fixed for real. There's lots of food on the Commons, y'know. I've never uploaded any food, and I don't go hungry. Check out this page, or this. Or try this. Frutti di Mare 09:50, 13 July 2006 (UTC).

Some ebi for Frutti di Mare, with my thanks!WBardwin 21:30, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Looks like it's pizza party time!! Block free/24 hours a day. What freedom. I wish I actually had more time to edit. Thanks for your long time concern and support. WBardwin 21:09, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Mail

Do you mean email? I haven't received any email. Extraordinary Machine 18:29, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Au contraire!

Not all cows are bovine. In fact, a female moose is called a cow, thus the need to be specific in A Moose for Jessica. —Hanuman Das 18:05, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Ohhhh, I see. Where was my head? Thanks for taking care of it, and please apologize to Atisa for my error. Did you intentionally change "real-life" back to "non-fiction" when you cleaned up after me, though? I didn't think that was an improvement. YMMV, naturally. Frutti di Mare 19:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC).

Well, you had edited an old version of the article, so also lost the cover image and some minor change, so I just reverted to the previous version. I'll tell Atisa. :-) —Hanuman Das 19:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
