Well sorry I "Irked You."[edit]

If thats even a word. Mind your own buisness and stay out of mine. --Iron Chef 18:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I lost my cool. I need to be more level-headed. I guess Irk is a word, I thought it was from Invader Zim (Irken Invaders) :P --Iron Chef 22:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Irk is a word. It dates from the 15th century. Substantially before Invader Zim. --Loqi T. 04:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE: too heavy on Lostpedia RfD[edit]

Thanks, Kaini. I sometimes get a little itchy when I see stupid or accusatory ravings. [a discussion turn bitter.] I only hope anyone reading through that thing can see a difference in quality, even if I do jump in too often. --Loqi T. 05:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC) --(amended) Loqi T. 03:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kani, thank-you so much for your words in the RfD. Please don't take this the wrong way when I ask that you consider removing your comments. It's not that they don't need to be said, it's just that any dilution of that message reduces its power. I'd much rather either hear from Leflyman on this, or just leave it hanging there. It's your comment, so it's your decision. Also, thanks for contacting me earlier. It inspired me to go off and work on my home page. --Loqi T. 04:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. "a vehemently anti-inclusion of lostpedia user" might be construed by casual readers to be referring to Mr. Fenton. --Loqi T. 04:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Post-mortem on AfD/Lostpedia[edit]

Dear Kaini,

You have performed admirably in your foray into a Wikipdeia scuffle. Nice work. You kept your head on straight most of the time, and didn't succumb to the temptation to meet dirt with more dirt. We sometimes get a little itchy when a discussion turns bitter.

To that end, please accept this award as a token of my esteem.

Sometimes a user might fight dirty, by citing your words from another time and place. On the other hand, it's sometimes appropriate to mention external websites. Remember that time time you responded in the alleged get-out-the-vote drive with this comment on Lostpedia: "i shall do my best, although i haven't edited a whole lot over there"? Well, I do. Not everyone is working from the same definition of meat puppet that I go by. On the other hand, it's not wise to go around indiscriminately poking every "puppet" one sees.

During one particularly heated phase of the discussion, a user admonished your attempt to withdraw a comment. Depending on the circumstance, simple deletion by the original author is appropriate, provided it doesn't change the meaning of what someone has written. In other cases, strikethrough is a better choice. Still others call for an additional clarifying comment to be posted. The standard I like to use is, "what's the best way to avoid confusing most readers?" In certain cases, where not much time has passed, and a comment is likely to be of interest only to readers who are tightly following the discussion, it can be less confusing for future readers not to have to see the hiccup at all. Trying to keep the timeline straight can be a notoriously challenging skill for a reader of stale wiki discussions to master. Just don't do something dodgy. Don't give the appearance of dodginess. Remember that your mom might be watching. Think before you post. Write for the future as well as the present. And above all, have fun.

Like so many things around here, our discussion activities are mitigated, not by law, but by culture. Community standards are the true authorities around here, and those standards are supposed to be loose enough to accommodate nearly any situations. If we trust ourselves, and our judgment is not clouded, I choose decency over lawfulness every time. That's why I like to remember this rule. But be advised: use that rule with due caution. You wouldn't give a nail gun to a baby, so don't stretch your judgment too far past your footing. But do be bold when the situation calls for it.

I see you're from Ireland. You might be an asset to my new article. You should swing through sometime, if you feel like a work party.

And hey, Don't let the grumpy users scare you off!

House of Leaves[edit]

Good work on adding stuff to the article. I always thought the Characters section should be expanded, but never had the time to do so myself. Wyatt Riot 14:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On that note...I haven't had much time for this over the past few days, but I'll try get some stuff done this week. Which is to say, I haven't abandoned it :) -- Colm O'Brien 17:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oxegen[edit]

You are correct in saying so but I found that on the T in the Park page so I thought it was only fair to include it on the Oxegen page. But I see it has been removed from both now. And by the way, why not Radiohead and Oasis? --Candlewicke Consortiums Limited 16:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So please tell your friends who like electronic music and are willing to put in hours writing about it. If there are any suggestions for features for this Wikiproject I will help out with them and see what I can do. Please add any projects you are working on to the list - I will gladly help out with them as best I can. Since the original project founder has been MIA for 9 months or so, I'm declaring myself pseudo-king and cheerleader of this Wikiproject. Basically, that probably means that I'm just going to do the most work related to this project for now. Please tell your wiki real-life friends who are interested in electronic music about this wikiproject! We need active members! Wickethewok 11:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Daft Punk samples[edit]

I've noticed that you recently restored the direct links to MP3 clips used in various articles related to Daft Punk singles. Please keep in mind that the mp3 clips themselves cannot be used to cite the use of a sample in a musical track. The MP3 links remain in their respective articles (per your fair use rationale), but the website documenting the use of the samples has been added again to provide an actual reference.

Oxegen[edit]

Alot of info on that page has no citations, take a look at the security issue part. Now as for the citation for what has been quoted, that has come from people I work and are friends with, first hand information, what i'm typing is not a lie so you should not have an issue with. I work in the music industry in Ireland and I feel its my duty to let the outside world know. Its not false information, you would agree with what has been said, unless you like forking out €200 for a repeat of last year. Didnt think so. So please stop deleting other peoples contributions.

House of Leaves color discussion[edit]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I haven't posted in the discussion because I really don't have much of an opinion at this point. I certainly don't think that all instances of "house" should be rendered in blue (as some people have tried to do in the past), but nobody is suggesting such a thing at this point. I'm fine with having a tag at the top and the first instance of "house" in blue, or no tag and nothing in blue. That being said, I wish that the anonymous IP editor had just left it as it was, although I can understand that he or she felt it went against Wikipedia policy and therefore needed to be changed.

Ontological/Anselm's[edit]

Thanks for that, but the thing is, Anselm's argument isn't the same as Ontological argument. Ontological argument is argument about the nature of existence wheras Anselm's argument is a specific "proof" of the existence of God. For "Ontological argument" to be as it is is like having a page on "birds" talk only about herons. That's our problem here. Funetikahl 20:16 25 June 2007 (PST)
