Re: Broadcast network article
The reason I did the renaming is  - 1. To go with the terrestrial television and digital terrestrial television articles. - 2. Because all television is broadcast in one way or another (whether it's cable, satellite, or using an antenna), and this article is really talking about over-the air/terrestrial television. -   - Now that you mention it, "List of United States over-the-air television networks" sounds a bit better, so I'll let you move it to that if you want to. -   - And on the subject of where I'm from, I'm from Illinois. --User:Evice User talk:Evice Special:Contributions/Evice 00:55, August 6, 2005 (UTC) - :Never mind, I'll just move it myself. --User:Evice User talk:Evice Special:Contributions/Evice 00:57, August 6, 2005 (UTC) -   -

sphericity of Pallas
- I already thought I was doing too much in adding a third column. A fourth column (although I agree it's appropriate for the zettagram range only) would be almost too much. But anyway, are you sure Pallas isn't about as spherical as Pluto? I had thought the formation history of Pallas was much like Ceres, and very unlike that of Vesta, which is obviously a central splinter of a massive metallic object. --arkuat (talk) 07:37, 14 August 2005 (UTC) -   - :Hi Arkuat/Eric, -   - :Concerning minor planet Pallas: it is typically depicted as non-spherical, and roughly football-shaped (N. American football, obviously). Wikipedia lists its dimensions as 570×525×482 km, which is egg-shaped rather than spherical. Ceres is the only asteroid which is known to be round. Cheers!--Firsfron 13:33, 14 August 2005 (UTC) -   - Thanks for the info, Firsfron. I was too sleepy when I made that edit, and I've reverted it since. --arkuat (talk) 02:31, 16 August 2005 (UTC) -   -

Ranking of solar system bodies
-   - Hi. I thought our discussions on Talk:List of Solar system objects by radius were getting a bit voluminous and offtopic, so I'll comment here. -   - You seem genuinely surprised by my reaction to your remarks, so I'd like to explain myself. This will get pretty verbose, and pretty critical of you, so thanks in advance for reading it all. -   - Allow me to dissect your remark that prompted my "assume for one minute that I'm not an idiot" comment: -   - :''Hmmm. Yes. I believe you said that, once or twice. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." ;)  -    - I kept saying it precisely because you never addressed my concerns about the list's exhaustiveness.   -    - :Exhaustive: from Dictionary.com : very thorough; exhaustively complete.   -    - If you treat someone as though they don't know the definition of the word "exhaustive" then you can't be terribly surprised when they feel insulted; especially when the definition is as lame and self-referential as this one.   -    - :I'm not exactly sure how you think this list of objects could be more thorough or complete.   -    - By including the objects that are currently not included.   -    - :If you think the list is incomplete, I wonder why you don't add the information you have (with suitable citation, of course).   -    - Because it's an enormous list that grows weekly. It would require a level of effort and commitment that I don't have the time or inclination to make. -   - :''If it's just that you believe that more objects exist out there, yet undiscovered, I think I already addressed that: there's always the potential for larger objects (than Mercury or Jupiter) to exist, but we haven't found any, in the last three hundred years. And even if we do, it's really not too hard to update the list. Meanwhile, these are the largest objects known to exist, outside of fringe speculation and conjecture. If you're basing your objection to rank based on speculation, I don't know what to tell you: I've taken a look at your edits on other pages, and they seemed really sound, so your argument here seems quite puzzling.'' -   - This part was quite frustrating. You assume that I'm making a lame argument, and expend half a dozen sentences pounding a strawman to death, despite the fact that I already refuted the argument myself, calling it "spurious". This culminates in the rather condescending statement "your edits on other pages...seemed really sound" (which, at this point, just reads like "look how open-minded I'm being") and that "your argument here seems quite puzzling", even though I have already stated that this is quite emphatically not my argument. -   - So, in summary, you spent fully three-quarters of your remarks using rhetoric to demolish arguments that I wasn't even making, in a manner that made me appear foolish, rather than trying to reach a consensus or compromise. -   - This is not usenet. There's no need to quote the other person's remarks, because they are right there on the same page; and the objective is not to win arguments, but to build a good encyclopedia. -   - No hard feelings. I just didn't want to leave you puzzled as to why I reacted the way I did (rightly or wrongly). --Doradus 21:33, August 29, 2005 (UTC) -   - :: Frankly, P3, I am a little puzzled. The sentence about 'not knowing the meaning of the word' is nothing more than a The Princess Bride quote. I'm sorry if it offended you; in some on-line circles, PB quotations are really common and instantly recognizable, and I really regret now that you took offense to it. My point was simply to get us on the same page about the word "exhaustive": the list can never be complete, so any argument based on 'we can't rank the list because the list isn't complete' just doesn't make sense to me. The same argument would make it impossible to say that (say) Jupiter is the second largest body in the Solar System, because something bigger might be out there. -   - ::I'm not exactly certain why you'd say something, then later claim it was a spurious argument, and then criticize me for talking about it. Either it's your opinion, or it's not, but it can't really be both. This is one more thing which causes me to write that your stance on this issue puzzles me. This is also one more reason why I felt it was important to quote you directly, as you freely admit you've changed your argument. In which case, it was impossible NOT to quote you directly when responding to you, whether this is Usenet, Wikipedia, or anywhere else. -   - ::Frankly, there already exists a more or less complete list of minor planets on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure why you want this other list to be "exhaustive" (thus in effect duplicating two Wikipedia lists): it's a listing of heavenly bodies in order of size, not a complete list of minor planets. -   - ::You include with your latest comment some stuff about how I think your argument is lame (I don't), how I use rhetoric (not sure when I did that, but I apologize anyway), made [you] appear foolish (which wasn't my intent, and I don't think is the case anyway), made the rather condescending statement "your edits on other pages...seemed really sound" (which was of course meant as a compliment, but was somehow taken by you as a veiled insult), etc, etc. There is more stuff, about how I'm not trying to build a better encyclopedia, and am only interested in winning arguments, but in point of fact, the list you desire already exists here on Wikipedia, and in my years of editing Wikipedia articles, you're the first person I've ever 'argued' with (although I'm not certain how complimenting your edits to Wikipedia articles, making sure I didn't change anything after you deleted my additions to the article in question, etc, constitutes an "argument"). -   - ::I really hope that there are, as you say, 'no hard feelings', but I suspect there are, after all you've said in your message tonight. I don't want there to be any.--Firsfron 02:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC) -   - ::: Ok, I had started another point-for-point rebuttal, but I just find it extraordinarily frustrating to discuss this issue with you, so I give up. Let's just put this behind us and move forward. I think we both just want what's best for Wikipedia. I look forward to collaborating with you in the future. --Doradus 14:03, August 30, 2005 (UTC) -   - ::::I'm so glad you could be the bigger person, P3. I look forward to reading your future contributions on Wikipedia, and agree we both want what's best for Wikipedia.--Firsfron 21:05, 30 August 2005 (UTC) -   -

Why stop at 15
-   - Hi. You recently said this: -   - :''I certainly also agree with you that the ranking ceases to be useful after a certain point, but strongly disagree at where that point has, IMHO, arbitrarily been placed. There were less than 40 rankings on the list, and the majority were removed because the rankings 'were not useful' or something, based on the perception that the list was not accurate at its lower end.'' -   - Here is the reasoning I gave on the Talk page when I made that edit: -   - :I have started by removing the ranks after Europa, since the relative ordering of Triton and UB313 are not known. -   - Specifically, Triton's radius is given as 1353.4 km, while 2003 UB313's radius is 1195-1500 km. Hence, we don't know which body should be #16. That's why I stopped at #15. --Doradus 18:33, August 31, 2005 (UTC) -   -

Seasonally-described dates
- On Flowers (Ace of Base album), you added information describing the date when the album was recorded, "Autumn 1997 - Early 1998". I was wondering if you could please clarify the ambiguity here – Autumn could mean approx March to June, or approx September to November, as seasons in the Northern- and Southern- hemispheres occur at opposite times if the year. Cheers --Qirex 10:57, 24 November 2005 (UTC) -   - :Hi Qirex, -   - :The band themselves mentioned the recording of the first songs of "Flowers" ("Dr. Sun" and "Captain Nemo") as occurring in "Autumn of 1997"... as this is 'their' Autumn, that would of course be late in the year: September or so. I don't see much ambiguity, because the band is clearly based in the Northern Hemisphere and always has been, and the quoted material comes from the European "Flowers" booklet, but if you feel it's confusing, do clarify it. :)--Firsfron 05:01, 25 November 2005 (UTC)  -    - ::Thank you for explaining, and yes it does make good sense, but all the same I'll edit the article. The reason I saw it as being ambiguous was that I didn't know where the information came from; had it come from secondary sources, it may have been what someone said in Australia or South America or something. Also, someone reading from the Southern hemisphere may not think too carefully and just assume that autumn refers to earlier in the year. Of course, I do recognise this is all quite trivial, so thank you for indulging me without poking fun :) --Qirex 11:23, 25 November 2005 (UTC) -   -

"Abu Ghraib edit"
- Hello, -   - I was pretty confused by this message showing up on my talk page, until I noticed that it showed up because you edited (accidentally, I am assuming!)

WikiProject Buffy Checklist
Hiya, just letting some people who regularly work on Buffyverse articles know there is now a checklist for non-episode articles in place to highlight articles needing work on, and articles coming into completion. It is available at the main project page, since this is where the 'WikiProject Buffy template' on the discussion page of all Buffyverse pages directs people:


 * WikiProject Buffy

It mainly discludes episode articles since they are dealt with at WikiProject Buffy/Episodes

Thanks -- AnGeL X 17:33, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Dinosaurs
I missed this line of yours at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dinosaurs for some reason:


 * "I find it irritating that someone who doesn't actually work on the project is someone who wants to detract from what we're doing."

I think it's great that there are a number of enthusiastic people working on dinosaurs, and I've probably made more contributions than you think.

Using the dinosaur article as an example, I added the entire size and behavior sections, and they haven't changed that much; I expanded the intro, definition, and history, and they're still mostly written by me; I significantly added to the feathers, added 3 out of 4 of the general references, and while I didn't create it the "renaissance" section is mostly my words copied from other places in the article. I did a little work on several other sections, but I don't think I touched evolution, most of the areas of debate, extinction theories, or religious views.

I don't really think of dinosaur as one of the articles I've done much work on. I mostly prefer to write new articles or greatly expand tiny little ones, and a lot of them have been on dinosaurs. I'm not really into vanity pages so I would require a bit of work, but if you dig into my contributions at my old IP, you might be surprised. I just haven't been active in about a year (my schedule is like that; in fact, I'm leaving again for about a month, today).

Thankyou mate for your welcome. I am currently doing the mesosaurs, pelycosaurs, pleiosaurs, pterosaurss, anapsids, therapsids etc,as these areas are poorly covered, so I am not doing dinosaurs really but those before and contemporary with them, which is important for biodiversity. But any dinosaurs need an article just send it to me and I'll do the article. Once again thankyou Enlil Ninlil 02:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Firsfon! I'd be happy to join WikiProject: Dinosaurs. You can now find my name on the list of members of the WikiProject. Grand Moff Brian

You may notice I deleted "Jiutaisaurus" on the dinosaur list page. That's because I searched on every search engine, and there wasn't anything about it at all. Grand Moff Brian

I had an idea. Now that the dinosaur WikiProject is pretty much done, I noticed that lots of pterosaur articles were not completed. Maybe we could start a WikiProject Pterosaurs? Grand Moff Brian

Dinosaurs


Hi Firsfron! I have been extremely busy these few weeks, so I'm trying to get back to you regarding this edit you made on my talk page a while ago:. You know what? I have been here for more than a year, and you are the very first Wikipedian to ever ask me to help write an article on behalf of a WikiProject :-) Not only that, your request was sincere and well put. I have to say, I'm not an expert on dinosaurs, but I will make an honest effort to contribute to those articles that you requested: Otogosaurus, Palaeoctonus, Palaeocursornis, and Palaeopteryx. Hopefully I can start May 1st. Anyway, I wanted to recognize your efforts with this minor barnstar. Take good care of it, and may it bring you all the best there is on Wikipedia! --HappyCamper 21:34, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

An appology
I owe you an appology. The Suspected sock puppets project just got started and I'm the only admin taking part in this project. There fore, it's all up to me to decide. And I don't want to make any hasty decissions. That's how I do things. Slowly but thoroughly. And I sometimes do it a bit to thoroughly. I mean, I don't want to make wrong decissions. I needed to persuade myself that the guy is a sock, but I might be asking to much. Now I know that I should ask for fewer evidence and that I shouldn't hesitate to block so much. Therefore, I appologise to you for taking so much of your time and I promise I'll try to not to be such a pain in the ass in the future ;-)

If it is of any comfort for you, this case has made me understand that I need another hand at this project. Therefore I'll now embark on a search for an admin who will be willing to help me and who will make sure we do not get in situations like this anymore. Sorry for the mess I caused... --Dijxtra 13:40, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I apologise, Nihonjoe, for being an utter fool. Your RfA was running unanimously for support and I mucked it up. You have every right to be angry with me, and all I can say is "I'm sorry". Feel free to rant.--Firsfron 09:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'm not mad at you, and I can completely understand why you would be frustrated if no one seemed to be paying attention to your request for assistance. That said, I hope you can understand how I was viewing your request, since it appeared to me that you were saying, "If you promise to check this out once you're an admin, I'll give you my support vote. Otherwise, I won't." Can you see how it would appear that you were wanting me to "buy" your vote by promising to do something for you? From your comments, I don't believe that's how you meant your request, but that's how it appeared to me.


 * As for whether or not I get unanimous support, I don't really think that matters. If you wish to vote your support for me, I'll accept it. If not, then that's your choice and I won't hold it against you. (^_^) ˑˑˑ 日 本  穣  Talk to  Nihonjo  ε  17:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Satellite is not important here. For examples, see Special:Contributions/Boothy443. CoolKatt number 99999 04:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

A barnstar for me? Pshaw
You are the one that deserves a barnstar for all your work on doing the minor, repetitive tasks I have no patience (or time) for. Wikiproject:Dinosaurs would not be where it is today without you, or where it will be tomorrow. Sheep81 02:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Empty articles
Hello! I just deleted your article Nanyangosaurus. It appeared to be a placeholder without any actual content. Please don't make empty articles. Others of the ilk will be deleted also. This is under the WP:CSD section A.1. Other than that, keep up the good work! - C HAIRBOY (☎) 22:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I also deleted a number of talk pages you created (which were not attached to articles) with the same tag. Please don't do that, talk pages should be attached to existant articles. - C HAIRBOY  (☎) 22:07, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
I'm very excited to be part of the Dino project, though I may not be able to help as much as I'd like for a little while. Thanks for the welcome! Devotchka 16:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

HQITW is back!
Hi! I'm just reminding everyone about my quiz section, the Hardest Questions In The World Section. Although many players are already taking part, the more people playing, the more exciting it becomes. Drop by the following link to play... See this link to take part in the competition! Questions are updated every so often, so come back later if there are none left to answer. Thanks, Spawn Man 01:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hiya
Not much to say, save howdy from another Smarcher! Do you know of anyone else who's a Wikipedia editor? Z iggurat 02:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Currently doing Permian tetrapods
Hi Firsfron, you've certainly done a great job with Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs! Thanks for the invite too, but currently I'm focusing more on Permian tetrapods, since there is much less on them on wikipedia. M Alan Kazlev 04:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanx
Hey Firsfron! - that Barnstar was most unexpected and very kind of you - I have proudly stuck it up on my UserPage. - Ballista 20:16, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Nice catch
Nice to see you're keeping tabs on new dinosaurs, Dracontes! Some of the recent additions aren't even in Google, yet, so it's likely, as we already saw with Trigonosaurus and others (such as on the list of dinosaurs), that they may get deleted by folks who are searching google. I've got to say I'm impressed, though, that you're quicker than the google-bots! Keep up the great work! :) --Firsfron 20:01, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. Unlike those bots, I know where and what to look for :-D Besides I don't want Dinoguy2 to get all the credit :-P Dracontes 09:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

CFIF is at it again
He keeps reverting my edits, no matter how hard I try. He just won't leave me alone. Help me please? CoolKatt number 99999 18:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe because the category sort letter format has not been approved by the WikiProject. I also find it wonderful that you have the time to make legal threats against me along with running your smear campaign against me. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:49, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * how about this? CoolKatt number 99999 19:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I said no fighting on MY talk page, please. --Firsfron 00:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Gettin' therer with the ceratopsians....
That AWB is cool, now all we need is some piccies (I emailed Andy Farke and will cross my fingers)

- I am also doing proteaceae in plants and botanists I know who are experts are dead happy I am uploading stuff from them... cheers Cas Liber 11:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

West Coast Tas
Thanks for the awb cleanup for apostrophes but what's with removing stub - it becomes dangerously an orphan! SatuSuro 00:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC) Well I put it back, and note the comment at the top of your talk page, heheh. need help archiving? SatuSuro 01:02, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

apostrophe abuse
Hi. Could you use something a little more neutral like "apostrophe errors". Saying "abuse" makes it look as if the editor was vandalising rather than an accident or ignorance. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 05:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case its ok. (Couldnt resist that). CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 05:44, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again!
