Merging Awareness Project
Hi there! Since many users seem unaware of how, why and when to do a merge, it may be useful to set up a Mergism Awareness Project, or MAP for short (crappy acronym is mine :) ). I'd like your input on that, if possible. Thanks. Radiant_* 12:59, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Please see Wikipedia:Merge. Your comments, as well as help in making this page more visible to the community at large, would be appreciated. And 'mergification' is a lovely neologism :) Radiant_* 07:19, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
Poland-bio-stub
Hi Joyous Joy! There were no objections, so I've just created Template:Tl. Grutness...wha? 12:32, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll begin filling it very soon. Joyous 15:32, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
Infamous's Adventures
I've never heard of this "company" - it sounds like it's just a few guys remaking old Sierra games using a modern free game engine. It should probably be merged with Sierra Entertainment, Adventure Game Studio, or King's Quest. You could ask for a second opinion on the CVG-project talk page, but I think you'd be fine VFDing it as well, with a suggestion to merge/redirect. Andre (talk) 03:15, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
- While you're at it, AGD Interactive should probably meet the same fate. Andre (talk) 03:19, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Hi there! I noticed this notice... I'm well acquainted with both AGDI and Infamous. The former is pretty famous in the fangame community since they remade a couple of oldbies (KQ1 and KQ2, QfG2 pending) and did it so well that they got official permission from the owner (Sierra) to continue. The latter, however, is vanity, since while they have good intentions, they haven't yet released anything. Radiant_* 09:08, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
VfD closing help
Good evening, Joy. I am attempting to close Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Harmonics Theory. This is a particularly confusing and contentious discussion that spilled over into many other pages. If you are online right now and are willing, I'd like to get a quick reality check from you.
text deleted
After drafting my conclusions here, I realized that I knew what I needed to say after all. Thanks for letting me use your Talk page as a sounding board. Rossami (talk) 23:06, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
Cup of tea test
Not sure which/if it was in one of the books... I found it in the Hitchhiker's Guide to Technology, a track being sold on iTunes.
Richard Vobes
I checked the article and took out a lot (probably more needs to come out, but I find it's better to be cautious on the first go-around; I've gotten carried away in the past). I also cut podshare, which is an old concept even if a new word, almost to nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody wants to VFD it! - DavidWBrooks 16:44, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Sea sock
Yes, a redirect to spraydeck would seem to make perfect sense. The latter article seems to be pretty complete; I'm not sure if there's even anything that needs to be merged. (This reply is duplicated on my own talk page as well.) Cheers, --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 16:42, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
W:Merge
Hi there! Thanks for your comments. Of course, feel free to edit the main page if you have useful suggestions. Yours, Radiant_* 09:09, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC) (and hm, purgist and splurist? I like that :) )
Thanks Joy Stovall
Thanks for your support on my Adminship request. Seabhcán 09:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Lucky Octavian on VfU
Hi Joy! Thought I should inform you that I have placed the Lucky Octavian article which you deleted on WP:VFU. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:46, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Food-mass feeder
(copied from User talk:gadfium)
Loooong ago, you did a bit of editing on this article. Does it actually make any sense? (Um, the article itself, not your specific edits). I can't figure out what it's talking about. Joyous 16:59, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't know how valid this may be. I was just fixing links at the time. A google search only finds one reference other than Wikipedia and our clones: [1] (http://www.animalplanet.com.au/landofthetiger/feature4.shtml). I can't say whether it's a neologism or a valid term.-gadfium 00:45, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Language of dna
Wow, what a mess! I'd VfD that... It looks like an essay, and anything salvageable and encyclopedic is probably already in other relevant articles. (Disclaimer: I am not a biologist, and I don't even play one on TV.) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 05:34, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your support
Thank you for voting on my RFA. Have some pie! I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of supporters (including several people that usually disagree with my opinion). I shall do my best with the proverbial mop. Yours, Radiant_>|< 08:02, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
Quotative evidental mood
I am afraid I am not qualified to answer your question. I have never heard of that mood, and it has a virtually nonexistent Google coverage. However, "evidential mood" and "quotative evidential" are existing concepts. It would probably require a real linguist or grammarian to tell whether "quotative evidential mood" makes any sense. Anyway, whatever happens to the article, it should say "evidential" instead of "evidental" :-) Sam Hocevar 11:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
response on WP:VPM
Hi - just a quick note to let you know I appreciate how cordial your recent response was on WP:VPM. I think we should all make an effort to be much more friendly to the newcomers - I think your response is an excellent example. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 04:02, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's very kind. I'm particularly amused because, when I received the flag for your message, I was in the process of leaving a nasty-gram on a vandal's talk page. (Ok, it was a just a [[test2]] message, but the timing was great.) Joyous 04:11, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
Re: Admin?
Hi Joy! I am very flattered that you think that I might be admin material, and if nominated I would definitely accept the nomination—as you say, that rollback button would certainly help me on RC patrol. My only worry is that it is that people might think that I am still a little inexperienced on Wikipedia, as I am have only been here since the end of January and am not quite at 3000 edits. However, if you think that it is worth a try then I would certainly like to be an admin. Thanks, JeremyA 04:46, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the nomination. I've done my best to answer the questions, but it's getting quite late here so I will probably hate my answers by the morning. Thanks again, JeremyA 05:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Re: User 68.117.210.6
Hmm. My apologies for overstepping; my higher brain functions must have been on autopilot. (I recognized the IP from previous vandalism, and saw that your userpage had been reverted today previously, saw "poop" in red, so reverting looked like the best course of action.) Oh well. Here's to happy endings. :) -- Hadal 05:35, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I suppose apologizing needlessly is a Canadianism I'll never quite shake. ;) And hey, you're no slouch when it comes to RC patrol either! I suspect we've shared more rollback conflicts than I realise. Cheers, -- Hadal 06:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your support
Thank you for supporting my candidacy for administrator. Kelly Martin 14:44, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks
- Hi, Thray. I ran across Keenan houser that you tagged for VfD. I noticed you forgot to add the entry to the list of VfD discussions, so I put it in there for you. It's here. Joyous 06:33, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
Oops. Sorry about that, thanks for doing it for me.
Thanks
Hi Joy! Thanks once again for nominating me to be an admin. The RFA was 100% successful! :-) It has been a great pleasure to see some of the nice comments that people have left on my RFA page, I hope that I can live up to the trust that you, and they, have put in me. JeremyA 05:03, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
My RFA: Thanks!
Hi Joy! Thanks for supporting my adminship nomination! Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:23, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
VfD Closing process
Good afternoon, Joy. There's recently been some discussion about ways to simplify the VfD closing process. I know I have some pride-of-authorship issues and may not be as perfectly impartial as I'd like. Would you mind taking a few minutes to review the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Deletion process#Simplification and share your thoughts? Thanks. Rossami (talk) 20:37, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

What do you think about protecting Rape for a couple of hours, until the spammer loses interest? Joyous 00:03, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
