Thanks

Thank you kindly for your comments. I'm glad to hear what you said and I greatly appreciate it. I hope I can forward my edits and become good editor, and today, I've noticed I'm on the right track.--RyRy5 (talk) 21:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Consider this a formal invite

This is the cool kids club. You would only make it cooler... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:05, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Woo-hoo! Do I have to get spanked with a wooden paddle as an initiation? If not, can that be a new requirement? I'll volunteer as the guinea pig. I guess I should locate a ruobe and borrow someone's camera. Don't ask what happened to my old one. Hint: if you're getting out of a sling, don't hit the camera stand with your leg. The camera will break when it hits a wooden floor. Ok, that was a big hint. APK ^{yada yada} 04:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

You can spank yourself with anything you want. You don't seem to be particularly lacking in the area of self-experimentation as far as that goes. As to requirements to be in the cabal, just take a pic and upload it... We'll take care of the rest... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, will do. APK ^{yada yada} 04:30, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Awesome :D After being linked to your reply to the vandal and then following the diffs thorugh your conversation with Jayron, I commented that you really should join the BRC, so I am happy that you preparing to join us. Regards, 137.195.250.2 (talk) 04:42, 26 April 2008 (UTC) (formerly User:Astral)

Oh, and I'll happily do the spanking ;) 137.195.250.2 (talk) 04:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Make sure you don't hit the same place twice while spanking my bum. It leaves marks. APK ^{yada yada} 04:58, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

No worries, I've had a bit of practice, so it should be good :-) Astral (talk) 05:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Did you see

this: WP:ANI#Incivility / NPA - 69.244.181.184? The IP you reported earlier earned himself a new block. Aleta ^Sing 02:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

His attempt of explaining his conservative views is so misguided. Attacking other people is obviously the incorrect way. APK ^{yada yada} 03:06, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

That's the truth!! Aleta ^Sing 03:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Old Stone House (Washington, D.C.)

Nice addition. I've always loved that building and it deserved its own page. JohnInDC (talk) 18:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Fabulous building that richly deserves the page you gave it.MarmadukePercy (talk) 18:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks John and Marmaduke. I've walked past it a million times and Thursday was the first time I ever took the time to explore the place. It's a real gem. APK ^{yada yada} 19:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Very nice! Aleta ^Sing 20:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Gracias, and thanks for once again correcting my typos. I read over my articles at least 5 times before I post and I still miss them. ARGH! APK ^{yada yada} 20:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) It's always fun to read your articles because you find interesting things to write. Aleta ^Sing 20:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

So right, Aleta. — Becks ^{Talk to me} 20:30, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

DYK and GA?

I'm guessing you've probably already nominated it for DYK. You should try to get this to GA - I don't think it would need that much to bring it up there. Aleta ^Sing 20:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I nominated it for DYK. You think it's GA material? I've yet to write a GA, although I had a peer review for Clarence Lightner and I think it's somewhat close. I'm looking to have one of those under my belt. What do you think I need to do for the Old Stone article? I just realized I forgot to add one piece of information. The clock in the dining room is the only original piece of furniture. I guess that's noteworthy. I tried to insert the clock pic, but it's too large for the article and looks crowded. One thing that could enhance the article would be to add information about the owners between 1875 and 1953, but sadly I can't find anything. APK ^{yada yada} 21:16, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

You might want to get a peer review for this one, too. I haven't written a GA myself, or done any GA reviews. Hmmm... that's too bad you can't find anything on the other owners. I wonder if you can find a print history of it with more information. Aleta ^Sing 21:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

YOU'RE A STUPID GAY COCKSUCKING QUEER WHO WILL NEVER KNOW HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO FUCK A WOMAN UP THE ASS!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1996 battle of (talk • contribs)

Why, hello there! We must have met somewhere and you obviously miss me. So, how you be durrin? Tell yo mamma I axe how she be durrin. In response to your statement, you have most of your facts correct. I'm not stupid, but I am the following: gay (I love dick more than Nicole Kidman loves botox), cocksucker (this is already mentioned on my user page and you are very correct...i love sucking on a big juicy cock...you should try it!!...how else would i get my daily requirements of protein?), queer (ding ding! correct again!...every time i get on all fours and take a hit of my poppers it makes me feel like the biggest goddamn queer in D.C. and you should come videotape it!). In regards to never knowing how good it feels to fuck a woman up the ass. I'm not an expert on human anatomy, but the word on the street is that women have vaginas. You're implying that you have fucked a woman's butt. If it's supposedly "odd" for gay men to do that, then what does that make you? You're choosing to stick your wee-wee in her back door, even though she has a cunt. My advice would be to utilize that body cavity and leave her booty hole alone. I, on the other hand, don't have a va-jay-jay so I must utilize what is available. I've had numerous chances to penetrate a hairy clam, but my true calling in life is to be someone's bedroom bitch. If you would like further assistance on how to become a bitch, let me know or ask at the help desk. God bless you and have a great day! APK ^{yada yada} 16:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Dude... I ain't laughed so hard in days. That's great. From someone who prefers the va-jay-jay, you is STILL one of the funniest dudes in town... ANd yes, someday I plan to take those pictures. I have it written down. I will do it I promise... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 20:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I try, I try. :-) I found a few websites with great pix of places around Raleigh, but I don't know if they'll upload them. We'll see. Just take some pix when you can, no rush. APK ^{yada yada} 20:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

After looking at your sentence structure, it looks as if you're promising to take pictures of va-jay-jays. That's hot. Side note: in reference to the above discussion about my stolen laptop, the thief has probably had a cardiac arrest after looking in my pictures folder. I've been known to be somewhat of an exhibitionist. The pictures on my laptop prove it. APK ^{yada yada} 20:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The question is, are they pictures of your "laptop"?... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 20:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

And is your "laptop" "Microsoft"... Ok, I should stop now...--Jayron32.talk.contribs 20:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

They were pictures of my hard drive. APK ^{yada yada} 20:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I must say i came across APK's User page, which i have spent the last 30 minutes chuckling to, you have a great sense of humour, im quite shocked that people could write such hateful things about you in this day and age. I myself have had to endure some upsetting times at wikipedia because of my race. If it wasnt for wikipedias stupid rules on civility i would say screw the lot of them.... oops i said it, please dont tell. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 07:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Gracias. Don't worry, I've heard every name in the book as I'm sure you have as well. If people are going to call me names, I wish they'd come up with something creative instead of the usual queer, faggot, or cocksucker. Hell, my friends and I call each other those names. I left the message at the top of the page where I was called a "sodomite" because of the biblical aspect. That was semi-creative. Also, I'll say it. Screw the lot of them. :-) APK ^{yada yada} 14:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Congrats, APK! I missed the show, though. Where can I see what I looked like? Jmturner (talk) 16:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not seeing it in the archives, but this is what the hook and picture looked like on the main page. (scroll down to the first entry under April 21) Someone touched up your picture. Click on the pic in the article. APK ^{yada yada} 16:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw the touchup was done. Gotta thank the user for doing that. Its fun watching people take what you made and make it better. Jmturner (talk) 13:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

If you get a chance, would you mind taking a picture of the Artspace building at City Market? I'm about to write an article for it and if you have free time, I'd appreciate a picture. No rush. I started on the Moore Square Historic District, but I figured creating articles for Long View Center, City Market, and Artspace would help out the intro (notice the red links). On a side note, while searching The News & Observer database I saw this advertisement. I don't know why I think it's so funny, but I loves it. You can also see in the Google search box another article I'm working on. sigh I blame this on my ADHD. I can't stay focused on one article. APK ^{yada yada} 17:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Great idea! The weather is gorgeous after the weekend rain so I brought my camera into work and plan to take pictures at lunch. I'll get Artspace, the State Bank of North Carolina, and a shot of the best side of the Capitol: its east side. Oh, and I found a railfan who sent me an outstanding 1940s photo of the old Union Station showing tracks, platforms and everything! I'm trying to track down the copyright holder but it is beautiful. Maybe I can post a link to it somewhere. (P.S. How you durrin? Heh. I've met lots of people like "Shirley.") Jmturner (talk) 15:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Your search box clue reminded me: have you heard of Hungry Neck, by any chance? Jmturner (talk) 15:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Excellent. I might e-mail Artspace and ask them to upload pictures of inside the building (artwork, lobby, etc.) since you'll have the outside covered. It's a beautiful day here as well. I just stepped outside for a minute and I feel the urge to join the tourists and walk around the Mall. That's great you found the old Union Station picture. Hungry Neck is a historic black neighborhood. (1, 2) BTW, you're a celebrity! imdurrinrealgood APK ^{yada yada} 15:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I got your pictures took today. Couldn't find the cornerstone of the old Raleigh and Gaston Railroad station but I got the others I wanted. I'll upload 'em tonight. Jmturner (talk) 17:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Old Stone House (Washington, D.C.)

Ill take i good look at it asap, its nearly 4am where i am so my advise at this point is unwise lol, however i will give you my analysis within the next 24 hours. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 02:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. APK ^{yada yada} 02:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

On a seperate note, im trying to neaten out my 4 GA passes[1], into some sort of box, any ideas, i dont like it in that straight line look. Hum? Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 02:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean by box? Hmm, lemme think. Do you want the 1-3 & 4-6 numbers kept? APK ^{yada yada} 02:52, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

The numbers can go, i would like a coloumn of 2, going down, on the left, and a coloumn of 2, going down, on the right. Does that make sense? Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 02:55, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Just solved my issue. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 03:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, just got your message. I was watching Cloverfield. It looks good the way you have it now. APK ^{yada yada} 03:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, reading it i would say that, the current usage section and lead (just discuss whats in the content of article more) could be expanded, the past owners is an important issue, i would try to get more sources, you seem to be using the same ones lot. I would put it up for GA soon, it wouldnt be quick failed, its a nice article. It has some MoS issues but these can be taken care of easily when spotted at the review. If you put up a peer review i can add an extensive list of corrections and ther peole wil give advise. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 17:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for looking it over. I'll try to research past owners and expand the lead. APK ^{yada yada} 19:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Lol, i just checked out your political compass score, your not "quiet" as socially liberal as myself, thank god i still keep that title. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 19:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, besides abortion I think pretty much everything else should be legal. That's why I don't fit into the Republican party. Well, that and the War, pork barrel spending, Dubya, etc. On the other hand, I definitely don't fit into the Democratic party either because Libertarians are the polar opposites of socialists (despite what the Libertarian socialism article states). BTW, thanks for reverting the IP. APK ^{yada yada} 19:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Make sure you sort out that article, like i said try setting up a peer review, ill go through it with a microscope then. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 19:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

So yeah, I molested your userpage a bit. Made the Wentworth Miller into an actual userbox at User:AgnosticPreachersKid/wm and moved it to the collection of userboxes on the right side of your page. As it was, the text was all wonky around it. Also I couldn't help but read the "This fine human being speaks and understands Southern English proficiently and is therefore a true Southern belle or gentleman." userbox and imagine you in a big pillowy dress sippin' on lemonade in 1885 - only 'cause I know you're a Southern belle and not a Southern gentleman.

Becks saw this vid and immediately thought of you, APK. And Becks has absolutely no clue why he thought of you, or for that matter, why he's speaking in the third person singular. But why listen to Becks, as this is a guy that collects very many versions of the famous Numa Numa song, for example here, or this one. Which inevitably leads to this for some strange and unknown reason. Becks ^{Talk to me} 05:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

APK has nightmares involving that song. Whenever APK sees this video, he thinks of Becks. :P

OMG, even Becks didn't think of himself when he saw that video. Which song gives you nightmares? OK, how about this one, which should make you sleep better. Please tell Becks you like Syncsta, especially that last vid. Becks ^{Talk to me} 06:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The kid behind him freaks me out, but I loves the song. APK ^{yada yada} 06:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I mean the Gay Barbie song by Syncsta. Righteous Brothers is fine music and they did a great timeless song there, like Unchained Melody. Becks ^{Talk to me} 06:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Assistance

List of best-selling albums worldwide, could you help me with this article. I need to go through it removing dubious sources and replacing them with fact tags. Its a long list so i could do with your help. I had the article on semi protection but when we have finished the fact tags im going to ask that it be removed, in the hope that these ip adresses can be useful and find good sources. When i get the semi protection removed, could you put the article on your watch list, checking any figures / sources are reliable when these ip addresses add them? Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 19:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

No prob. I'll be finished with Bennett Bunn Plantation in about 30 mins and will look at the article. APK ^{yada yada} 19:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Cheers, the first job is to root out unreliable sources, fan sites, official sites, blogs etc and replace them with tags. If your unsource about a source take it to the talk page and we can look at it. Ive called a few others in aswell as its a monster job. Catch up with you laters. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 19:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

No, i wouldnt accept that as a reliable link. Cheers,Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 22:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Cheers, its such a crap article, hardly any of it is reliably sourced. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 00:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, its cleaned up, all thats left is reliable, lol, thats not much either. I completely removed the 15-20 million catagory, there were like 5 reliable claims and as thats the area that gets the most fan craft it makes sense to get rid of it completely. Im thinking should we put the unsourced claims on the talk page and remove them from the article? It will give ip adresses more incentive to go hunting for info?

WikiProject North Carolina May 2008 Newsletter


NEWSLETTER
Issue One • May 2008 • About the Newsletter
News Cape Lookout Lighthouse Hello WikiProject North Carolina members! A few of us at the The Newsroom Team decided to get together and re-energize the project, through these newsletters. This newsletter is hopefully the first of many to come. We want this project to be active in creating and expanding articles related to our state. If you're a current or former resident of the state, we hope that you will help spread the knowledge of how much there is to learn about North Carolina. A great way to expand new articles is by keeping track of the new articles list. Please add any new NC-related articles or older ones you come across that have not been tagged with the project banner. When you notice an article has been added to the list, read over it and check for citations, grammatical errors, and spelling. If you've written a NC-related article in the past 5 days, read the requirements for Did you know... and add your article to the DYK nomination list. It might be chosen for the Main Page! If you see a new member added to the project list, a great idea would be to leave them a welcome message on their talk page. Show them we notice new members and that we want them to become active participants. Congratulations to the editors who helped promote List of tallest buildings in Charlotte, List of North Carolina hurricanes (1900–1949), List of North Carolina hurricanes (1950–1979), and List of North Carolina birds to featured lists. Let's try to get a few more articles to featured status. North Carolina would be a great (and obvious) choice. Congratulations to the editors of Climate of North Carolina as well. This article was recently promoted to Good article status. A few suggestions for articles we can work on for GA are Raleigh, North Carolina, Charlotte, North Carolina, Greensboro, North Carolina, Geography of North Carolina, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. If you're a history buff, check out List of Registered Historic Places in North Carolina. There are many articles to be written and your help would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions in regards to the project, feel free to contact someone from The Newsroom Team. Thanks for all of your hard work and happy editing!

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 02:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I see I'm already on the list. Thanks for the offer and I'm more than willing to help. I'll update my info. Cheers. APK ^{yada yada} 05:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

African American history in Raleigh

Hi, sounds like a great idea - you've done a lot already and helped me learn about it, too. Let me know when you'd like help.--Parkwells (talk) 21:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks for your help. APK ^{yada yada} 21:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Old Stone House (Washington, D.C.)

On 4 May, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Old Stone House (Washington, D.C.), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
