New user name

Hello, Eusebus... just saw your post on Encephalon's talk page, and I wanted to commend you for your total lack of caring about editcounts. Good on ya. Blackcap | talk 20:53, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

'Lo doc, replied here. Blackcap | talk 00:24, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Encephalon. Saw your kind and remarkably swiftly delivered words on my user page following my 'Ciao.' However, be assured (or nervous maybe) that I am just switching usernames for the purposes of harmonising my cross-language wiki activity, esp as I am planning on trying to get more X-language articles done. (Working on Gottfried Semper at the moment). Since my edit total was low (maybe 1500) it was just easier to create a new account. I'll get my delete votes discounted from AfD for a while, but that's okay, since they are usually ignored anyway. What's up with you? drso, aka Eusebeus 16:21, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
All right then, I shall promptly be assured (and suitably nervous ;)). I responded quickly because I saw you go "Ciao", and if there's anything I hate happening on WP it's first-rate editors leaving. I will not pretend that I wouldn't have been sorely disappointed to see you go, so this message has me all happy and stuff. :) By the way, would you like to change names and have all your edits transferred? That's something a bureaucrat can do for you, if you ask. Very kind regards encephalon 04:35, 18 November 2005 (UTC) PS. Shoot. I've just remembered that this can't be done if the account you're moving to already exists (ie. one has to ask the Bureaucrat first, who'll create the new account and then make the move).encephalon 04:44, 18 November 2005 (UTC) PPS. I concur with Blackcap's suggestion to log in as the D-man and do the re-direct thingy, just to make it official and all. See ya around :) encephalon 04:44, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant, glad to have been of service. Blackcap (talk) 10:49, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How Google samples

In the AfD against Checkerboard Nightmare you said "When you perform a google search, it collects a sample of 1000 pages (based on pagerank). What you are seeing is the total number of unique pages per the thousand collected. A rough extrapolation requires therefore that you take the total number of unique hits x the total# of pages, divided by a thousand." Do you have a cite for this? I'm very (as in professionally) interested in making sense of the widly varying results of google-searches you see :) --Kaleissin 12:20, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFD/Da Pupz

You might want to see these edits and take appropriate action. I am assuming you still favor deletion of the article in question. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 05:49, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We don't speedy delete because of AfD vandalism, just revert it and if you want, mention it on the AfD page. User:Zoe|(talk) 20:16, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A thank you from Ann

Hi, Eusebeus. I just want to thank you for voting to support me in my RfA. I know I'm very late thanking you, but I've been a bit caught up with college work. I hope I'll live up to the expectations of those who voted for me. Please let me know if you ever have a problem with any admin action that I carry out. Thanks again. Cheers.

Shosta

Hi there, yes, I agree about the article. It could be listed as a FARC, but I guess you're keen to see it improved as a FA. I could work on it, but although I like Shosta's music a lot, it's not my specialty, and would require considerable research around the topic. I'm currently working to get the JS Bach article to FA standard. Are you going to work on Shosta yourself? I could take a look from time to time. Tony 12:47, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the way to do it is to put a note on the discussion page that the article needs to be significantly improved in the following ways (bullets follow), and that 'we'll list it as an FARC on, say, 1 January, if these matters have not been addressed. We are taking this action to ensure that composer articles on WP are of the highest standard.' Tony 01:45, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to show me the list before you post it; it will form the basis of the FARC listing, I guess. Are you aware that twice over the past few months, I've posted complaints on the talk page, although not direct threats to list as FARC. You may wish to add my name in the text when you post the warning. Tony 01:11, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you might consider giving MarkAlexander a little longer than the end of the month to fix the Shosta page, although I'm still keen that notice be given soon and guidelines posted for what needs to be done to it. I intend to put JS Bach up as a FAC in the next month or two, and there will already be lots of knives out for it because of my record in running a tank forwards and backwards over other FACs. MarkAlexander has just reverted vandalism to the JS Bach article and has a stated interest in it, so I don't want to antagonise him at the same time or before Bach runs the gauntlet. Tony 23:48, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you've made any progress with the list, do post it; I'm in the process of making various changes, and it would probably make sense to integrate them. Mark1 22:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bach

Yes, help much appreciated. Let me work through it and then I'll call for criticism by others who've been involved. It would be nice to nominate it as an FAC with a few other names as contributors. At the moment, though, I'm worried about then length, given that that's an issue with Apple Mac and the FARC of Windows XP. Tony 09:40, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

RFA

Thank you for supporting my recent bid for adminship, which passed 64-2. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 07:22, Dec. 17, 2005

Dave Moulton

Just wanted to let you know that I've made some improvements to the Dave Moulton article. Please take a look, you may want to change your vote on "articles for deletion." Crypticfirefly 03:51, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep

Hi there, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed that you voted "speedy keep" to the Afd discussion on The Audrey Hepburn Story. You might not be aware that a speedy keep can only occur if the nomination was obviously in bad faith or disrupting Wikipedia to make a point, or if the nominator withdraws and there are no votes to delete. Neither of these have happened. You may have intended "strong keep", i.e. that you feel very strongly that this article should be kept, but it is not possible to infer this from your reasoning.

Might I ask that you would take care when using speedy keep votes and, perhaps, that you would explain your reasoning a little more clearly on Afd discussions? Thanks again! Stifle 11:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

I don't have a fancy layout like other new admins, but I just want to thank you for your support at my RfA. It passed 48/3/1, so I have officially been promoted. I hope I won't let you down. If I'm not doing something properly, please tell me. Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' 21:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An old issue

How on earth does the self advertising long article like Slim K (he's even contributed to his own art) stay on wiki? It is clear it should be half if not 1/3 the size and given another Afd surely? SatuSuro 02:09, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles For Deletion

Hi, one or both of the following situations applies to you, and you may therefore be interested in related discussions.

You may also be interested in a discussion of whether or not the entire text of a whole bible chapter should be contained in the 6 articles concerning those specific chapters, and whether or not they should only use the translations favoured by fundamentalists. This is being discussed at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Whole bible chapter text.

RfA Thanks

Please accept my embarrassingly belated thank you for supporting my RfA, which much to my surprise passed 102/1/1, earning me minor notoriety. I am grateful for all the supportive comments, and have already started doing the things people wanted me to be able to do. And hopefully nothing else... Just zis  Guy, you know?
