Revert including possibly valid edits
Hi Daniel, I think the section you had a problem with on Glenn Reynolds was about the blended puppy drink. Besides for that, I reinserted some of the other edits your revert erased. Let me know if you think there is still something wrong in these new edits.--Nectarflowed 23:56, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Looks like someone beat me to it. By the way, that's something you can do yourself. Let me know if you need help learning how.


 * Also, if you're registered and you sign your name with ~, it will automatically leave your name (linked to your user page), and a timestamp, which is useful for letting other people get back to you, among other things. --Daniel11 23:37, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Beer
Me, an expert? I wish somebody would have told me! Seriously though, beer is a subject very dear to me, and I'm more than happy to lend a hand at the project. – ClockworkSoul 13:01, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Example infobox
What do you think of this as an infobox (crossposted to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beer)? Obviously, instead of the image I have here we would use a picture of the bottle or the beer's logo, but I didn't have any of those available. What do you think? – ClockworkSoul 18:12, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Beer
We'll get the Canadian beer info done in no time, I have too much of an interest in Canadian beer. I hate the big three as well.. but sadly that's all we have out here, there is the odd microbrewery but not much, and a bunch of imports but most of the imports are either imported by Molson or Labatt, but funny enough the one company to capture the cheap beer market in alberta, manitoba and soon ontario is a company ran by two siblings in their twenties! Sure their beer is imported from the United States of Watered-down Beer, but some of the cheapest beer prices i've seen in my lifetime. -Glamour Boy

Beer Advocate
I removed the link because it seemed too commercial and didnt really have any information other than a list of the beers produced and (subjective, non-encyclopaedic) reviews... Justinc 21:57, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Links between Iraq and Al-Qaeda
Could you please vote on the proposed move Links between Iraq and Al-Qaeda &rarr; Alleged links between pre-invasion Iraq and Al-Qaeda? The vote is here. Thanks. ObsidianOrder 17:13, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * I prefer Alleged links between the regime of Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda. GCarty 08:40, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Warblog article
You undid my edit where I wrote "A warblog is a weblog devoted mostly or wholly to expressing enthusiasm for an ongoing war." Are you aware of any anti-war blogs which became known as "warblogs"? I always thought the term was used only for pro-war blogs. GCarty 08:39, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

revertions
Hi- For your information, typos are not a valid justification for reverting an edit. ike9898 06:28, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Background image
You'd never be able to tell what the background image is, unless a page loads really slowly. A while back that happened to me several times....it's a photograph of a book with it's pages fanned. ike9898 15:40, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Beerbox template
No problem, I'll leave it alone. I was just sort of cruising around template space (as you do...) and came across it. Good luck with the project. -Splash 17:52, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda &rarr; Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda conspiracy theory - name change vote
Hello, there is a vote to rename Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda to Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda conspiracy theory. The voting is here: Talk:Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda. I would appreciate it if you could vote. Thanks. ObsidianOrder 05:21, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Harry Magdoff
Here's a heads up on another proposal; Votes for deletion/Conspiracy allegations about Harry Magdoff they are attempting to discredit the U.S. government's release of Venona materials as a "conspiracy" against individual Communists Party members. nobs 15:07, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Hebrew-speaking Beer-drinking Canadians
Thank you for the kind words, Daniel! There are probably quite a few of us here in the Toronto area. The real question is, what am I doing editing Wiki articles on a Saturday night?!... I accepted your invitation, and am now adding stubs and links for Israeli beers. Thankfully, there's only one brewer, so it should be much easier than the Canadian industry. Cheers!

If you got a minute can you take a look at Categories for deletion/Log/2005 November 7. Thanks. nobs 18:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for your help at Category:Soviet spies. Let me know if I can ever be of assistance. nobs 18:33, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

What can you remember about SCENE?
Daniel11, what turned your crank about SCENE? What did you read in the mag, news, music or arts? I handled the political stuff and most of the humour. Barry Wells 23:39, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

I mostly read the news stuff, and I think what I disliked was the uniform leftism so typical of Canadian regional weeklies, plus all the coverage of local news in a sad town. That's what has me convinced that your columns probably pissed me off, but I do also seem to recall there being one or two gems each on the local and the political fronts, stuff that was original and funny and even, on occasion, cogent. This may have been you... ...Hope this helps! Anyway, nice to see you contributing, and I hope you enjoy it! --Daniel11 00:05, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * SCENE was a bi-weekly and its mandate from the publisher was to be a leftish mag (and I'm definitely a political leftie), covering local stuff. It's gone to pieces now -- just a bunch of incoherent, irrelevant fluff. Regarding finding the news section occasionally, "cogent," I spent plenty of time ensuring that it was regularly cogent, but each to his own.

We (me, really) was writing about the City administration ursurping the power of the politicians 14 months before the Freeps finally came around and finally admitted the truth. Before that they were saying that everything was beautiful at city hall. Apparently they were reluctant to rock the boat too much due to the $300,000-worth of advertising they were getting annually under publisher Les Pyette and City Communications boss Dan McDonald. Then all hell broke loose in 2002-03 with City Manager Linda Reed, Jeff Malpass and George (Hunky) Duncan flying the coop. Barry Wells 00:17, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, it's a small Canadian city, what do you expect? Of course a few loser politicos will use the tools of government to screw you over and win themselves contracts, etc. Sorry for being a bit quick, I'm working on other stuff now and also a bit tired.... more later... -- Daniel11 00:30, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Not a problem at all, amigo. Alternative weeklies or bi-weeklies generally are leftist papers but not always. I tried to go beyond ideology as best I could and offer (I hope) some compeliing rationale as to why I held the beliefs that I did, particularly about local politics. But SCENE is a thing of the past for me at this stage of the game. Thanks for the encouragment at WP. Barry Wells 01:13, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
