I'm taking a short wikibreak due to school and will be back on Wikipedia sometime down the road. Most likely, however, I won't be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and I'll probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every so often. Messages left for me may not be replied to for awhile.

[edit] B

Oh yeah, no personal attacks. (I was going to attack you) •Sean•gorter•^(Talk) 05:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boxipuss

Good afternoon, I would like to report that my article on The Malaysian Boxipuss, has resulted in wide research on the subject and I do have more information on the Boxipuss but I feel it will be rejected by you so i do not have the desire to add this to Boxipuss page, after your unacceptable rudeness. Dr. Alan Sieve —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.38.29.9 (talk • contribs) 08:09, 9 November 2006.

Your article was not deleted (over a dozen times) because of any kind of rudeness. It was deleted because it was an obvious hoax. We welcome any article on a notable subject with reliable sources. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 07:52, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Organi Studios

Hey, I saw that you put a {{bv}} template on User_talk:Organi Studios. I was watching this user, which is something I do when I notice a string of vandalism or vanity so I can check back the next day to see if anything new has to be reverted. When I checked the user's contributions to remember which guy this was, however, I only saw one edit that wasn't blatant vandalism. Do you remember if this user had blatant vandalism edits that were deleted, like starting inappropriate articles that were speedied? Mistaking WP:YFA for the place to start articles is unfortunately very common, so it's more of a newbie mistake than blatant vandalism. Anyway, I was just curious if you remember anything worse, or if it would be okay if I removed the {{bv}} warning for being overly harsh and replaced it with {{vanity}}. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 19:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

That seems fine. Organi Studios has only made one edit, which was to replace YFA with what looks a lot like an advertisement, but I have no problem with giving the benefit of the doubt. Michaelbusch 20:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gladin'

The members of the 4x4 community have and continue to severely vandalize this page. Its not worth the trouble anymore. I give you permission to move this to a speedy delete, if I may. Lets just get this out of here and save everyone a headache. Thank you. Jnonnemaker 19:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The horror! Marshmallow kills people

You are right. TWO (2) people choked on it. It is very important and encyclopedic. Yes it is the deadliest food on Earth. How about deadly pizza?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.118.35.197 (talk • contribs) 18:02, 22 December 2006.

Please read the edit summary I wrote when I reverted your edit. The section you removed may not belong in the article, but as it's disputed, it should be discussed on the talk page first. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 22:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, please do not make bad faith edits to make a point. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 22:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Why bad faith? I thin consensus in Wiki is clear. Marshmallows are deadly and it is very important and encyclopedic subject. You've convinced me. So I'm just trying to add more context. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.118.35.197 (talk • contribs) 18:42, 22 December 2006.

He has now been blocked (at last!) on both addresses that he was using. Hopefully that will be the end of that. -- Joseph Sanderson 00:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I've not eaten my last deadly marshmallow yet (thanks to Wiki). I'm aware of it's deadliness now (thanks to you guys). Marshmallows aka Satans spawns will not get to me that easily. Boys you are doing great job of spreading the message of puffy killer awareness. keep it coming. But how about deadly pizza campaign? Pizza kills, man.

Yeah - something productive you say, like writing an article about deadly cheesburger? case was very simple - I've removed some fear mongering non-sense, and you and your fellows has rushed to the "crime" scene with vandal templates, reverts (not even reading what you are reverting), and slander - yeah playing Chuck Norris, vandal bashing Texas ranger is fun, I get it. But two can play this game.

"Chubby Bunny" is a real game, not nonsense, and all we said was that removing it should be discussed first. You weren't given vandal templates until you started acting like a vandal. If you thought that section shouldn't have been in the article, you should have participated in the discussion like a reasonable editor instead of throwing a tantrum. I won't bother trying to speak reason to you anymore, I just hope you'll stop wasting your time on something so silly. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 01:18, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I added this to Wikipedia:Lamest edit wars just because the idea that two people dying over choking on a marshmallow being significant in an article is just plain humourous. Thanks for the explanation. I certainly will keep an eye out for marshmallows out there that could potentially kill me. :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 01:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Undecylenic acid inputs

Hello Icarus3:

Thank you for editing my prior errors. I will do better next time if you tell me what's wrong with the references posted before removing my undecylenic acid additions. Castoroil101 03:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sources?

i am just curious why sources are necessary for the stub Chained dollars. Kingturtle 01:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Everything on Wikipedia is supposed to be supported with reliable sources, partially to satisfy the verifiability requirement. The stub looks totally legit, so it's not as big a deal as when a word is suspected to be a neologism, hoax, etc., but I found the article while doing some new page patrolling, saw that it had no sources, and tagged it as such. Presumably, there's an economics textbook out there that could easily be put in as a source. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 05:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

Did you make the name of Jimbo Wales in Aurebesh? Do you mind if you can do one for my page, User:Leor Natanov/In many languages, please?? Thanks!!! Leor Natanov 02:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Please respond on my talk page Leor Natanov 23:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much!!!! Your are one of the best people in Wikipedia!! You just made my week!! Leor Natanov 02:05, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template images

Thanks for noticing. See my reply on my talk page.Cbdorsett 06:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! It works great and will save me a lot of time. Cbdorsett 06:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phosphatodraco

Icarus, could you please explain the tag you put on Phosphatodraco? How is it wrongly categorised? I cannot find any pterosaur articles categorised Tree of Life. Cheers. --Gazzster 10:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I added {{ToLCleanup}} because the article would benefit from having a taxonomy box added, and also from having a little bit of cleanup (putting the reference in common Wikipedia format, in particular). I don't see any problems with the category; I used the Tree of Life cleanup template instead of the normal cleanup template because it's about a living (well, extinct now, but you know what I mean!) organism and would benefit from having a taxobox. I've just added a stub template to it, too. Don't worry, it looks like a great start for an article, those templates just give a heads-up as to what would make it better. They're there partially to attract the attention of other editors who can help to make those improvements. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 00:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Thank mate. I'll work on the T box and the reference. But I'll take the stub category away, because there really is nothing else known about Phosphatodraco, as far as I have been able to research. Cheers.--Gazzster 10:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dated templates

Just to let you know the -date templates are on their way out, as the standard ones now take MONTH YEAR default parameters: cleanup-date => Cleanup, wikify-date => Wikify, linkless-date => Orphan, unacat-date => Uncategorized. Rich Farmbrough, 21:04 10 January 2007 (GMT).

[edit] Poverty - please vote

I think the poverty article would benefit from this Wikipedia:This week's improvement drive --since you have help a lot with it please cast your vote.futurebird 17:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
