Vacation

I have been on vacation (or as Brits call it, holiday) and may not be get back to you all for some time. Bearian (talk) 15:45, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: Barnstar

Hey, thanks! I really appreciate it. Just curious: does having an image on her page have any particular significance to you? I wasn't really expecting many people to notice that photo. But thanks again! Delaywaves • talk 23:43, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I have known her for a couple of years and worked on her last campaign. Bearian (talk) 20:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Prod

Baeriran, I simply don't agree with the prod for Digital Luxury Group. They are quoted by some of the world's leading publications (NYT, WSJ, FT, AFP, Reuters), as well as by media in China, Russia, etc. If you think there's other ways the page can be improved, I'd be interested to know. I did make some improvements after you first prodded the article. Plot Spoiler (talk) 22:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

OK, I will let it be. Bearian (talk) 22:31, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sarah T. Hughes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Western High School (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: I never suggested merging at the following discussion you must have misread, you may want to revisit/revise your comment. Sorry about the fishy smell, Best wishes. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 16:56, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

  1. Regrets, sorry, pardon.
  2. Thanks, the trout was tasty.

Settlers of the Stone Age

Hello and thanks for tagging this back in Jan 2008. It's still there and I'm unsure about it. You may want to take it to the Notability noticeboard or AfD. Boleyn (talk) 23:02, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll take it to AfD next week, when I have more time. Bearian (talk) 00:11, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Help me with article

I ask you for help to find some loophole to keep article Cássio Ferreira or assistence in improvement. [[1]]--Toni Tomas (talk) 14:03, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, Toni, currently this player is not notable, but will porbably be as of 16-2-2012. I suggest you save a draft of the article as a "user space". Bearian (talk) 00:31, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for trying and advice. I will save draft of article in my documents.--Toni Tomas (talk) 08:09, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Article help?

I am going to make an article about the NY SAFE Act and also include something about it on Andrew Cuomo's page, wanna help? You're a lawyer from NY so you'd be perfect with helping create a good article on this. :D IronKnuckle (talk) 06:56, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Since the NY SAFE Act was rushed through, I am not familiar with its details. I will need a few days. Bearian (talk) 14:56, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Articles for deletion

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted because you commented on an articles for deletion debate that was already closed. This is not a big deal, but I figured I would just like you know. TBrandley (what's up) 23:26, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I know, and I deserve it -- I failed to refresh the page! Bearian (talk) 23:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Articles_for_deletion/Commoners_in_the_United_Kingdom

Hello. I am leaving this message for those who commented on the recent AfD discussion on the article "Commoners in the United Kingdom." The discussion was closed by an admin with the comment "The result was no consensus. To delete, that is. But consensus that this should be editorially improved, e.g. by making it a dab page." I am not sure what articles a "dab" page ought to be linked to, so if someone wants to go ahead and do this, or discuss it on the talk page of the article, that would be fine. In the meantime I will remove the tags on the article as it was improved by Mcewan during the discussion, and I will continue to watch the article to make sure that that business about members of the royal family being "technically commoners" does not make a reappearance in the article without a reliable source.Smeat75 (talk) 23:51, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't know, and I haven't the time right now, but I think it can wait. Bearian (talk) 16:47, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Barnstar thanks!

I actually had tried to sort of tread carefully in that article ... I figured you might have felt strongly about it and not wanted to see too much changed. But at the same time I felt it needed a bit more heft in those areas, and I'm trying to make sure, as part of the long-term project I and UpstateNYer have to bring the Albany NRHP list to featured status, that all the articles that list points to are the best they could be (I have one more to go before I can work on that list proper). So I just wanted to add to the building and history section. Glad you were OK with it!

Funny, BTW ... you are the first other user to award me that particular barnstar. I thought someone else had, but ... no, you're the first. So thanks again! Daniel Case (talk) 06:53, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

You are welcome. BTW, I think we met at a Wikimedia conference at NYU. Bearian (talk) 20:18, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Last Chants for a Slow Dance

I don't know you're the guy I should talk to about this (honestly, I just looked at the list of admins, pulled out a name and looked at his contributions, and that's how I found you), but could you look at the adages I put to the Wikipedia article Last Chants for a Slow Dance? This is the first time I've made a big edit to an article on Wikipedia.

How I found the movie was I read the synopsis for the film in this book called 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. The plot summary from the book seemed to the up-to-the-point. (No doubt it would probably be a lot easier if I actually saw the movie but that might be easier said than done!) Should I cite that book as one of my sources? (I wasn't sure because I didn't quote anything verbatim from the book.)

Please give me article advice on my talk page. Thanks! The Uncyclopedian (talk) 01:23, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
