[edit] Hipster

I dont have any original research. everything is completly referenced by more certifiable material then the original article.

[edit] Kwanzaa, Bloods

You sure he's talking about the gang there? Karenga invented Kwanzaa before the Bloods came into existance; and the term "Blood" was used in some circles as a synonym for Black. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 03:54, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Eh, no reason to feel stupid! And I didn't think it was disparaging Karenga; there are plenty of reasons to do so, but that wasn't one of them. Anyway, it looks like the section was deleted because of the lack of a verifiable source. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 17:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

I fixed the redirect for Lone gunman, there is no colon needed. Leebo⁸⁶ 18:27, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup tag

As the section onto which you attached this tag in Organic Chemistry is rather long it would be helpful if you could specify closer, which sentences you feel are 'just fragments' needing the cleanupLouisBB 21:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Honorius and Google

Hi, I just noticed your post over at Talk: Honorius (emperor). I've never noticed this behavior by Google before; simply put, it's bizarre. Do you suppose that since they promised "not to be evil" that thy're making up for it by being annoying? -- llywrch 20:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi. Re: Categories of the article Zebra Waxbill

Hi. I was wondering perhaps the comments you have had made on my talk page regarding the article Zebra Waxbill, is rather too sarcastic? You mentioned I don't know whether to congratulate or spite you for this achievement, but I'll give a heads-up and say that I wouldn't count on all those categories staying there indefinitely. As far as I am concern, I don't wish to achieve anything. My only concern is to make the article better. I believe you probably would wish to have those categories deleted from the article. But does it really matter whether the article has the most number of categories or the least? I sincerely believe that categories are to help categorizing the articles accordingly and allow other users to have an overview on the articles which may be related to one another. It may be true that having too much categories may make the article messy. However, those categories still have their own usefulness. Luffy487 07:18, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Well haha. Apology accepted. By the way, thanks for showing your interest in my effort categorizing the article. Right now I am figuring out how to use a bot to categorize articles. ^_^ Luffy487 07:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome!

Hey there! Thanks for thanking me for answering your question at the Help desk. I don't remember which question it was, but at any rate, I'm glad I was able to help. :-) --Tkynerd 17:16, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Qxz

Qxz left the project and repeatedly blanked his/her talk page. I protected Qxz's talk page as an accommodating gesture. I don't know why Qxz left, it looks like a simple burnout. It's a damn shame though, Qxz was one of the best vandal fighters to ever contribute to Wikipedia. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 00:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Respect, see meta:Right to vanish. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 00:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

No prob. Of course this is just an opinion on the matter, I could be wrong. Cheers, ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 01:14, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Norwich City F.C. citations

Hey, thanks for your interest in the NCFC article. I've noticed you've added ^{[citation needed]} tags to two statements in the lead of the article, fair enough. However, if this information is cited in the main body of the article it is typically acceptable to not add citations to the lead. I think it's all about having an interesting, non-scientific opening to an article that lets you know what you're about to read. By all means, if there are concepts in the lead which aren't expanded upon in the article itself it'd be a problem, but I believe both cns you've added are explained adequately in the article. That's why I'll remove them. If you feel differently then please let me know on my talk page. All the best, The Rambling Man 22:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sandbox == good article???

Hi. You recently tagged WP:SANDBOX as a good article. Could you explain why? --Aarktica 21:08, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if that was a violation of rules; I was just trying to figure out how the GA template works, and whether it could be used without the subcats; also, I was curious about the likelihood of vandals getting away with false tagging, based on whether it could be esily done (or would be caught), and figured the Sandbox was an acceptable place where absolutely nothing would be taken seriously (and that it would be reset automatically anyway). Was I naughty? $\sim$ Lenoxus " * " 21:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Naughty? Nope. Thanks for the info, though. --Aarktica 22:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Ok, you can retag it if you like but I think it has to do with you not being British perhaps? Maybe 50 Pence is non notable in the US but notable in the UK? I will put something on the talk page to that effect... Happy Easter by the way.Andycjp 06:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your question about DYK

Hi Lenoxus. I've moved your question about deletion of DYK articles to Wikipedia talk:Did you know, which is the place for discussion of the general project of DYK (the Template Talk page is the place for nominations and discussion of them). I've also responded, although you might want to wait for someone with more experience to chime in as well before taking my answer as gospel. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lead section -> U.S. Code

I realize that you didn't create the redirect, just made note of it, but it's not at all obvious to me why Lead section should redirect to United States Code. Do you have any thoughts on whether it might make sense to change or delete the redirect? --Russ (talk) 16:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trevor Loflin

Please note that the section of SAT to which the page on Trevor Loflin was merged has been deleted, and for good reason; the information on Trevor Loflin was entirely inappropriate in that article. I have nominated the article on Mr. Loflin for deletion a second time. Based on your participation either in the article on Trevor Loflin or in the previous afd, you may wish to participate in the article's present deletion discussion. Thanks. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 19:20, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

no problem, although i do happen to think that most of the pokemon articles are notable and encyclopedically useful ;). Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 21:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Classroom coordination

On March 29 you expressed an interest in this proposal. The WikiProject has gone live. Your participation is welcome. Durova^Charge! 18:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phonetic reversal

Hello, Lenoxus. I changed the definition of phonetic reversal, since I couldn't understand the differentiation you were making between backmasking and phonetic reversal. Can you explain if there really is a difference? Thanks, Λυδαcιτγ 01:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, I understand. So, would you change my definition ("Phonetic reversal involves not only the reversal of the order of phonemes, but the reversal of the phonemes themselves, which means that the reversed sound of a phrase may be hard to predict.") to say that PR only involves the reversal of the order, but not the phonemes themselves? I read Olcott's explanation to say the opposite — perhaps the term is used both ways? Λυδαcιτγ 02:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jazz Hands Picture

Mr. Jazz Hands is my housemate Brian, we were on a kick of taking ridiculous pictures for some of the gestures on here a few months ago. That one is easily our favorite Toasterb 22:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minor question

Hello!

On your user page, you have a list of articles you plan to edit. One of them is 24. Are you sure you intend this article (which is about the year AD 24) or do you mean the TV series instead? /Ludde23 ^{Talk Contrib} 18:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation

I came to your page by coincidence but after reading your areas of knowledge and interest. I think that if you care to visit us at WP:TIMETRACE you might find that you could help very much in full compatibility with your other memberships. You would be very welcome !

[edit] AfD nomination of Captain Obvious

An article that you have been involved in editing, Captain Obvious, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Captain Obvious (3rd nomination). Thank you. lk (talk) 17:29, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for comment on Category Redirect template

Because you are a member of WikiProject Categories, your input is invited on some proposed changes to the design of the {{Category redirect}} template. Please feel free to view the proposals and comment on the template talk page. --Russ (talk) 22:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Looks interesting

One of your edits popped up on my watchlist, and I followed the link to User:Lenoxus/Drafts/Redirect template categorization. It looks very interesting. Glad to see that others are interested in keeping track of redirects as well! :-) Carcharoth (talk) 19:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Font format question

Hi Lenoxus- Your Courier question on the Help desk page prompted me to see if you know a way to specify certain fonts for certain columns in a table, even if it's just default serif vs default sans-serif. Do you imagine there's a way to do that? I would think there would be, but I'm weak in that area. Wish I could help you with your question--I can't even see how you got that box to format the way you did. Thanks in advance--I'll watch here for a bit. -Eric ^talk 14:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know about the table-fonts thing. Oh, and the box I put in the question is made automatically whenever a new line starts with a space,

like this.

I suppose you could try making a template for entries to the table (if it's a specific table you want to do this for). Then you could make the parameters like <p style="font-family: sans-serif">{{{1}}}</p>. I'm not entirely sure that would work, of course… $\sim$ Lenoxus " * " 16:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! -Eric ^talk 22:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

I've commented over at WT:RE, looks to be a sterling idea. I've also added it to WP:VPR to gain wider consensus as WProj Redirect seems like a ghost town! RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 20:04, May 18, 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I just replied with a minor correction, but you're probably right that that's the a good place to float it. $\sim$ Lenoxus " * " 20:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heads up -- CFD+revert notice

re: this nomination... and revert on Template:R to section (edit talk links history)

FYI ... I almost NEVER revert... but!

By precedent of many years of prior CFD discussions, any category that doesn't have at least four members is a wasted classification... and should be deleted.
ME by section template is for the use and needs of that wikiproject, and listing such redirects in a very general list as {{R to section}} does (which was defined to lighten the overpopulation in {{R from alternative name}}, it's parent), is hardly needed.
Similarly, the 1632 series has loads of templates that link to list article sections, but there is no good reason to categorize such in a non-specific grouping... it is (good) enough for the project to manage, as said list has little user utility outside project management.
IMHO, the appropriate action in this case would have beeen to make sure the ME template's auto-catting category is a sub-cat of the Redirects to sections category. More is not needed, and the separate template category is really counterproductive. Three of us busted butt a year ago thinning out and organizing template categories, so this is an area I'm quite familiar with!

Creating an additional category layer of dubious utility is thus, contraindicated.

[edit] I need graphics editing help

I noticed you are listed to help people in designing their user pages.

Well, I need help with a similar type of thing - graphics editing.

I'm preparing to coordinate this:

Coming July 15th to the Awards Center: The Around the World Competition. Three types of awards will be presented, including a World Champion Trophy! Hone your advanced tools skills, 'cuz you'll need them! If you'd like to be kept up to date on this and other happenings at the AWC, sign up to receive the AWC Newsletter here.

and for it I'm developing some awards. Each award will include an image, and that's where I need help...

I've got to have all the awards done by July 15th, and I don't even have the first one finished yet.

I'm looking for someone who knows how (or is interested in jumping in and learning how) to work on images in xcf format using GIMP, or Inkscape, etc. (Because I and others will need to be able to edit each image's layers after you are done with it).

If this sounds like something you are interested in helping with, please drop me a note.

By the way, both GIMP and Inkscape are free, making it easy to get started from scratch.

I look forward to your reply.

[edit] Possibilities of normal distribution numbers

It looks like you tagged all the normal-distribution redirects from 68-99.7% as having possibilities. It happens that the article 68-95-99.7 rule covers (I think) pretty much everything those numbers have to say. Is it all right if I remove {{R with possibilities}} from them? $\sim$ Lenoxus " * " 03:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead. — Dispenser 11:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
