Weetabixed
Hi. I'm not sure why you'd want me to provide references for a section I titled 'trivia', given that it is by definition trivial. I cannot do so in any case - I had heard the expression a few times but didn't know the origin of it, until this morning, listening to Graham Gooch on Test Match Special, who explained it exactly as I had on the piece about Weetabix. I understand everyone has a right to remove pieces of text from this website but in this case I would like to hear your justification for doing so - given that I can't provide a specific web-based reference for this does not make it untrue, after all. I would argue that the article was not damaged in any way by what I wrote. C i d 15:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool, no worries - I've added in where I heard it now so it can be checked if needs be. C i d 15:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

User:4492tues12
Hi, Ali! User:4492tues12 did a round of edits today regarding Australia. At least some of them were bogus, and I've reverted them (with a warning). For some of the others, though, I don't know enough about the topic areas to tell. Could you or somebody else who's Ozzie-literate take a look? There are only a few of them.

Another Question For You
I wrote to you concerning the deletion of my article on Kim Dingle. I have looked all over Wikipedia and cannot find Chairboy's talk page to contact him concerning the matter. He has now deleted my page twice, and I'd like to discuss his reasonings for it. Is there an index of Wikipedians or a way of searching for them by screen name?

Also, you mentioned on my talk page that he might be deleting my article because of notoriety. One of the main reasons I joined Wikipedia as a contributor was to write articles on historically ignored artists who tend to be women. Amazingly, Dingle doesn't fit into this category. She has gallery representation in New York, Los Angeles and Italy. Her works are in large museums like MOCA LA and she has received a great deal of critical review and acclaim in major art magazines. I intended to start the article last night and add more content in the upcoming days. My second version did make reference (and external link) to her NY gallery. When you do a google search of the artist's name, google has 10 pages of results! What kind of notoriety are we expecting?

Thanks so much for your help in this matter - I really appreciate your time! lonebiker 15:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Experiment
Hi, Im fairly new to wikipedia and just got a message seemingly from you thanking me for some "experiment" ive apparently carried out on the profanity page (???!!!???) (I recall reading the page a few days ago and added something to the page over a word related to that page, but cant recall doing anything else. Please could you solve this puzzle. thanx80.192.59.202 13:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Userpage Design Thingy
I'm in the process of waiting for a response and finding a new image in case he says no.

Well, hello!
Hi Ali!

Thanks for dropping by: it was lovely to hear from you. Sorry for being slow to get back in touch (I've got more talk to get through and not enough time tonight, so a further backlog is coming for tomorrow!).

I've been fairly quiet of late on-wiki. A health problem I had earlier in the year seems to have started again and tests, long waits, sitting in soulless corridors and getting reacquainted with specialist nurses I haven't missed seems to be on the cards. Of course, I'm probably being a hypochondriac and it'll turn out to be something mundane... but I'm easily terrified after last time! Added to that, I've had a bunch of trolls on my heels (one, formerly TripleH-something or other, is just a vandal so can be ignored, but the pressure from a couple of very immature schoolboys in Sussex and then a disruptive puppetmaster taking his inadequacies out on the world have kinda dulled my enthusiasm for the wikiverse for a bit!)

However, that's not to say I'm not positive and not happy! Far from it. Even if things are off-centre in some places, other things are doing really well. Lots of positive things have happened recently and not just to me but to my family and friends. That's always something that makes me feel good! So, feeding from the good news, I hope Good Things are happening for you!

Thanks for asking after me: it has lifted my low spirits (especially as others I thought were wikifriends haven't). Cheers! ➨  ЯEDVERS  21:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:Signs of Life!
Hi Ali! Thanks for your message, nice of you to drop by. Yes I'm starting to gear up for some wiki time with exams and SCOBE production (our annual school mag) over I have a bit of free time. Exams on 29 Nov? You in Yr 10? Good luck anyway --Fir0002 04:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah you did fool me for a bit ;-) So VCE next year, how are you feeling? --Fir0002 11:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
