User talk:Sirex98/Archive 2



Page name
Your page about vandalism is called User:Sirex98/Sandbox. Why is a page about vandalism called Sandbox? I have no problem with it; I am just curious.  FL a RN (talk) 22:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a good point, I never got around to making a subpage matching the label, its something I started doing using the sandbox and hadn't adjusted. ▪◦▪ ≡Ѕirex98≡  22:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar
Thanks for the barnstar! I'm honored - and glad to know my articles are being read. J. Van Meter 19:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You’re welcome, I don't give out barnstars lightly (4 total) you deserve it! ▪◦▪ ≡Ѕirex98≡  04:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, that makes it even better. J. Van Meter 16:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Much thanks for your support at RFA
I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me at RFA (and the fact that you remembered our very first interaction was gratifying to say the least), and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future. Cheers! -- nae'blis 23:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

WP:WOOT
Your cheap parlor tricks do not work on me, probably because my browser didn't understand your CSS. ;) -- nae'blis 07:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Rat'css!, oh well, maybe it might fool some of the other well wishers >:-D, anyway congrats again, and thank you for your kindness a couple months ago I don't think I ever thanked you ▪◦▪ ≡Ѕirex98≡  08:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

About "85.210.xxx.xxx"
I suggest you report them at WP:ABEP and see what sort of a response they can get from this dude's ISP. 68.39.174.238 00:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:ABEP huh, sometimes I wonder why I even try... ▪◦▪ ≡Ѕirex98≡  02:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sirex98 :-) Thanks for the congrats! and happy editing to you today. Take care, FloNight 14:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Wow, my first barn star!
Thanks so much! I have found anti-vandal patrolling to be quite an intellectual challenge, as I match wits the best...I mean the, uh, smartest..well, the wiliest...OK, with people who are still just sober enough to use a keyboard. Lindmere 03:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL you're welcome, vandals, yes some people have nothing better to do, isn't like wikipedia is some sort of major hack, anyway protecting articles is important so good job :) ▪◦▪ ≡ЅiREX≡Talk 05:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Lon McEachern.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lon McEachern.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Localzuk(talk) 19:11, 28 January 2007 (UTC) I have tagged Image:Marlin Fitzwater.jpg as replaceable fair use. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page.

It should be possible to find a public domain image of Fitzwater, since he was an official of the U.S. federal government. Thanks. Chick Bowen 21:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I found this one and added it to the article. Do you have any objections if I delete the old one?  Thanks. Chick Bowen 06:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No, not at all, sorry, about the outburst, was having a bad day. ▪◦▪ ≡ЅiREX≡Talk 07:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * on second thought couldn't it be added to the artcle, it's his most famous book, it's up to you either way i'm ok with.▪◦▪ ≡ЅiREX≡Talk 07:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It could, but there would have to be a specific discussion of the book. Could you write a paragraph about it--major themes, arguments, etc.?  Chick Bowen 21:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * after preveiwing the book with a small paragraph in what he discuss in general, it just doesn't look right, his article is too short and the shot of the book cover/paragraph crowds it, if I or someone else expands the article, I'll re-upload the book cover, you may go ahead delete it til then, the picture you added looks great by the way, I did a google search on .gov sites trying to find a goverment release of his photo with no real luck, I did see this one which didn't look right with the group of people with him standing in the background, I didn't think of cropping it, but instead went with book cover, anyway nice job ▪◦▪ ≡ЅiREX≡Talk 22:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're probably right. I've deleted it for now.  Let's hope the article expands a good bit and the book will make more sense.  Thanks for your good humor about this. Chick Bowen 04:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Poker terms
Please stop breaking the "stack" entry on the list of poker terms article. As is standard in all dictionaries that I know of (and standard here for special-purpose glossaries such as this), headwords are the uninflected form of the word and all senses and inflected forms are defined under one headword. Also your edit breaks the DIV nesting. --LDC 15:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. Always nice to be in touch with other poker nuts. I was actually supposed to play in a couple of preliminary events at the World Series, but have a sick grandmother to tend to, so perhaps next year.

Take care --Stsharp413 02:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
