Cairo Children's Museum

Hi I've expanded it. If you come across an article that is a crappy stub in future, please ask the editor to try to expand it first. If they don't respond, then proceed to AFD. Its just it saves a lot of time, we know there are many poor stubs on here, but a lot of them could be filled out and notability asserted if the person who started it is given a chance to expand. Best Dr. Blofeld> ^{White cat} 21:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I admit, I had jumped to conclusions a little too early. I'll give definitely give it more thought next time. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 22:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not to worry. Actually I can see how the name itself might have influenced you, if I'd come across a one liner on something called Child Museum I'd probably think the same. I started a list of museums from a missing list of Greece and Egypt which were considered of national significance but I'm afraid I got so caught up in starting them and trying to get them onto here that I forgot to expand them all. I usually create stubs at least with some assertion of notability or some content but it more thr desire to get them blue linked that I compromised quality. I had anticiapted that the musems wikiproject were working on them but I guess we're all busy. I'll make a note to try to fill some of them out, although sometimes I really take on more than I can handle by myself! Best Dr. Blofeld> ^{White cat} 22:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cairo Children's Museum Article Name

Hello, La_Pianista, and Dr. Blofeld, {if you come here); you participated in the AfD for Child Museum (which has now been moved to Child Museum of Cairo). While I appreciate the value of making Child Museum into a disambiguation page, I'm concerned that by naming this article Child Museum of Cairo we've created a neologism. At the moment I write this, no sources give the title of the museum as "Child Museum of Cairo": doubtless wikipedia mirrors will pick up that name and distribute it. Most sources cite the museum's name as simply, "The Child Museum"; a few cite it as the "Cairo Children's Museum". I would recommend moving the article to either Child Museum (Cairo) or Cairo Children's Museum; feedback is appreciated. See the entry on the article talk page. Thanks, Baileypalblue (talk) 12:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay in response - but I support LittleMountain's decision. Thanks for notifying me, though. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:34, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Papyrus

According to me this article is vandalized too often. Perhaps it needs semiprotection. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 00:16, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pianista is not an administrator, she cannot protect articles. WP:RPP is the right place to request a protection. Icy // ♫ 00:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I requested a protection for this page several days ago ([1]), but the answer was: "There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time." Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 03:52, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the article has been vandalized again recently (i.e. in the time since the rfpp was declined), try requesting it again; otherwise, I doubt that it should be protected. Cheers, —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How many times per day? Chubbennaitor 17:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There has been a lot of vandalism on 20th, from the same user. In the past the article has been vandalised from time to time, but not a lot and not on a daily basis. Nothing that the vandal fighters can't deal with. The page won't be protected for one day's random increase in vandalism, particularly as there are several IPs that have made constructive contributions. Chamal ^talk 00:26, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chamal's right, semi-protection should only be used when there's lots of IP/un-autoconfirmed vandalism, so much that anti-vandal people are missing some vandal edits. Which happened with Twilight (novel) a lot, so that one's semipro'd 'till sometime in the spring. Icy // ♫ 00:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I can't offer any better information. :) Vandalism has to be very frequent, upwards of about two or three times a day for about five days, and by different IPs.

And Ed, Icy, Chamal, Chubb...see edit summary. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:38, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How did oyou get to 1:00. Chubbennaitor 18:55, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, I'm pretty sure we love you too. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 23:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Pretty sure"? Eh? >:( (jk) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and Chubb - same way I'm up at 1:00, again, right now. :D —La Pianista ^(T•C) 07:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't get passed 10:30pm! Chubbennaitor 15:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was I!—SimonKSK ^(T•C)

IMatthew saved you ...for now :) Icy // ♫ 00:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This meanie deleted it, and called me a zombie. :( Simon^KSK 00:46, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@ Ed: It's "'twas not I," w/o "it." Lern Ur Shakespearez Alreddy.

@ Icy: For now? I feel a sense of impending doom, a dagger, pointed at my heart from an unseen assassin </weird, fortune-cookie-like clairvoyance>

@ Simon: Yes. I say we quarter and hang the meanie. After all, only meanies follow protocol. ;P —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I mean hanged and quartered, of course. Unless you want to hang each of the limbs, but methinks there is no use in that. Maybe a boiling pot of oil will work better? —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or a molten vat of gold? —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 07:05, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, a waste of value. Perhaps wet concrete would be nice, with some Miley Cyrus amped to the max for atmosphere. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 07:07, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not very good Shakespeare to be honest. Why are you speaking Shakespeare if you can't manage to spell the words properly from modern English. Chubbennaitor 19:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah! Miley Cyrus! Oh...I mean, boo miley, ewwww. My grandma sings better songs. Simon^KSK 21:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You really should...

...nominate P:CM at P:FPO. —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 17:47, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You mean P:FP? Little Mountain 5 18:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, no, though they redirect to the same place. :) I meant WP:FPO! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 19:40, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And it's P:CLM, sweetheart. :P But... Seryuslyz?! Nowai! :O

Actually...seriously...why do you think so? I'd like an preliminary examination from thee, good sir. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 05:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My valued opinion -

Ed is always right.
If you suspect Ed of being wrong, see Item #1 above.

Chamal ^talk 04:20, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hahahahahahahaha Chamal, you are now my bestest friend. :D —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c)My valued opinion -

No
Flippin'
Way.
If you suspect these statements to be wrong, see Item Nos. 1, 2, and 3.

(after) Hey! I thought I was your bestest friend! :( But honestly, what do you see at P:CLM that I'm missing, since I honestly don't see much in it. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 04:25, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Um, not much, which is why I told you to nom it. Make sure you look at the criteria, though - I have no idea what the criteria even is...

And of course you are. Chamal just passed you, that's all. :D :P Just kidding pal :)—Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:28, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see.

Doing... :)

AHA! Proof that Ed is not perfectly right. Lazy people do not qualify for perfection. :P Aw, me? Furreal? Aw, you're so cuuuuute... ;P —La Pianista ^(T•C) 04:30, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've got it up for peer review. The FP page "strongly" recommended that I do that first. Crossing my fingers here (but how do I do that while typing? Okay...*crosses fingers*...I did it. :D ) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 04:49, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(out) Alright, good luck! :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 04:50, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merci, chéri. I feel I need it.

@Chamal (Way up there...): Hey! You copied that from WP:EVULA! Little Mountain 5 17:26, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

...I really need that quote from Hitchhiker that talks about humans stating the obvious ... :D Icy // ♫ 17:28, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You mean this one: 'One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continuously stating and repeating the very very obvious, as in "It's a nice day", or "You're very tall", or "Oh dear you seem to have fallen down a thirty-foot well, are you all right?"' :P Little Mountain 5 20:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Uh-huh :) Icy // ♫ 21:27, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Like when I'm on the phone. My cousin asks, "Are you still on the phone?" "No," says I, "I'm just massaging my face." :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 22:07, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@Little Mountain 5: GFDL, my friend :) Chamal ^talk 00:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it great :) Little Mountain 5 01:04, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

I'm not sure if you noticed, but Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions/Trial/Votes has been archived, so your 'Say NO to Flagged Revisions' banner is kind of obsolete. Little Mountain 5 19:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I could care less. I still have mine, just in case if it will be proposed again. Simon^KSK 21:16, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'd prefer to remove mine. I'll re-add it if/when the debate comes up again. Thanks for the heads up, though! —La Pianista ^(T•C) 05:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome. :P Little Mountain 5 01:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What you need now is a banner saying 'Say no/yes to Flagged protection‎' :D Chamal ^talk 04:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

O.o Hold on - I have to gather my scattered POV and comprehend this one. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 04:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah. Strong support this one. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 04:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

STOP thingy

I "borrowed" your STOP sign for my user talk page, I'm sure you won't mind. :) TopGearFreak 19:28, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all, but...where is it? :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 05:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Had a few problems, so I've saved it on my computer and will fix it and display it when I have time. :) TopGearFreak 16:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It still won't work, have I done anything wrong? TopGearFreak 13:16, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Something has gone wrong. Ask an admin. Chubbennaitor 15:08, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope - it should be moved to User:TopGearFreak/Editnotice, capitalized. Here, I'll do it for you. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 21:51, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done - forgot about it for a while, sorry. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 22:22, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Copyright question

I've taken a look, but I must admit that I'm unsure in this case. User:B or User:Elcobbola are usually good with stuff like this, so it might be helpful to ask one of them. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 03:17, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coolness defies description, my friend. Such as myself. ;)

Nice! Still needs some classic Pianista make-over, which I'm working on right now.

Likewise. Saw it this morning, but didn't have time to respond. Ping!

Hm. You can't win it all, as they say. You might have a great school and sucky people to live with, or a sucky school and great people to live with. Eh...ping. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 05:10, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, no... —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 05:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, WP - and us TPSers, of course - are your solace. At least you can EUI without getting jailed. Troutslapped, maybe, but not jailed. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 05:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is this, bloody murder part 5 or something? Simon^KSK 23:24, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

22, as a matter of fact. It's huge news here, as you can easily imagine: I mean...I ACTUALLY HAVE A HALF-INCH OF SNOW-LIKE SLEET IN MY BACKYARD! :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C) 18:06, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No way! I have like 1.5 FEET on the ground here, and the high is supposed to be 14, w/o wind chill off the lake. :P —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 18:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was mocking my own people, good sir. I mean, I turn on the news, and there's this anchor, practically hyperventilating, running his hands over the ground saying, "Look, just look at this. Ice over the roads, sleet on the ground, you can practically feel this white dust!" and sifting it through his hands like it's powdered gold. >.> Of course, my cat's freaked out and won't go outside, and she's starting to explore some potted plants, which worries me a bit. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 18:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Buahahaha. No school here, eigher >:) Got about a foot of snow here... twenty-something degrees. Icy // ♫ 18:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One foot! You Northerners scare me... >.> Here, we're anticipating +100-degree summers with at least a month with no rain.

Watch the cat. I've seen potted plants, ah, "disappear" after I saw a cat near it...

Foot and a half for me, Pianista! Trumps the lowly Connecticians' foot.

Ooooo special. Pianista knows how to use {{convert}}... :P —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 18:38, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ay, worse than disappear. There's nothing like the smell of cat post-digestion to wake you up in the morning...

I've heard that, thank you very much. But feet are lowly, are they not? Since they are most often in contact with the ground? Okay, so the joke bombed on itself...

Ooooo special. Ed knows how to not be funny and fail at sarcasm. :P —La Pianista ^(T•C) 18:43, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MOTD interview

Good evening, La Pianista :) iMatthew and I would like to write a report on the MOTD project for the Wikipedia Signpost. I would greatly appreciate if you could help me in this via an interview for the report. As you a major contributor to the project you seem an ideal person to ask about this. Would you be interested at all? If so, please write back to me (or go ahead and answer the questions at User:Garden/int). Thanks in advance, GARDEN 22:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Spittle, but I don't think I have the time for this right now - gotta help the drama at USS Connecticut (BB-18), among other things. Did you need help with anything? —La Pianista ^(T•C) 01:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was just wondering.... if I could help you with anything. You helped me with alot of stuff and I've done zero for you...--Spittlespat 01:10, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, thanks, Spittle. :) Not really, though - but you could perhaps see about going through Commons and finding some good classical music sound and image files to add at P:CLM. But I know that'd be boring, so it's really up to you. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 01:12, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok... I will help you find some but my dad wants me to eat dinner first... :P--Spittlespat 01:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No rush - I've already got the February selections up. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 01:18, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about this but.... could this music be put into the pipe organ section? If found it on commons,

Pipe organ...? Click the "purge this page" link at the bottom of the portal, Spittle. You're getting last month's selections. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 02:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This was the best I could find for classical music... or is it... I should try harder...

--Spittlespat 03:07, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

? That clip is probably too short...to say the least. I meant for you to find longer clips that sounded good to you. Seeing as you're really unfamiliar with the field, I thought I'd see what could be called "interesting" to someone not crazy about classical as I am. You don't have to keep looking if you don't want to, Spittle. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 03:10, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about this one?...

I hope it works... wait... do concertos work??? --Spittlespat 03:14, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you genuinely like it. :) Any classical piece would work, Spittle. Seeing as I'm really the only person taking care of that portal right now (and there are no set rules), it's really only up to me. I'll add it for April. Thanks, Spittle! —La Pianista ^(T•C) 03:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok... glad I could help if I even did help of course...--Spittlespat 03:17, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Um... how do I exactly put something on your blog?--Spittlespat 03:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At the very bottom of a post (let's try the first one), click the link that says "20 comments". Scroll to the bottom of the comments page and add your comment. You can create an account there (which I recommend) or you can post anonymously. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 03:40, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What happened here? Chubbennaitor 09:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I myself aren't even sure. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 19:41, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then what are you doing here? Chubbennaitor 20:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. :D —La Pianista ^(T•C) 20:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sooo....

What did you think of the interview? I thought it was fun, but then I looked at Nutiketaiel's HUGE answers and I felt ashamed, because mine were so small.... Simon^KSK 21:44, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise. I felt mine were moderately long, but Nutiketaiel's answers were the best. It was fun to do, though. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 02:28, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mine were barely 2 lines! Oh, well. You watching the Super Bowl?, ~~Piano Player~~ Pianista? Simon^KSK 02:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first half at my Grandpaw's. Came home during halftime - I'm not crazy about football. :P —La Pianista ^(T•C) 02:39, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, guys, now I'm blushing again. Though, I've got to say, I would have written things alot differently if I had known he was just going to copy and paste the interviews into the "article". I had assumed that he was going to do the interviews and then actually write an article from the information he had obtained. You know, like a reporter. I put alot of crap and asides and ramblings in there that I would not have done if I had known what he was planning. :-( Nutiketaiel (talk) 14:11, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, I feel the same, Nutik. I think I was WP:EUIing that day - I look back at it and cringe. And in the Signpost, of all things! :D Queenie ^Talk 16:57, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we were all EUI there. 10 bucks I misspelled something. Simon^KSK 21:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c) Yes, that was a little disappointing. I thought it was going to be written like a professional report, like out of NYT or something. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 21:19, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I was thinking Daily News..... Simon^KSK 21:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have left a statement expressing my disapproval here. I spoke for myself, not for the project, but you guys can feel free to join in. Nutiketaiel (talk) 13:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, you really are the outspoken one, aren't you, Nutiket? Admirable traits in a man, I tell you. Now you really will never wash this screen, will you? :P

But, like Garden said, he'll remind interviewees of the raw format next time. And your/our blunders in speech will be forgotten soon (I hope). —La Pianista ^(T•C) 16:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I have printed out a screenshot and am going to have it framed. :-) In seriousness, I have accepted his apology. I'm not really angry with him, or anything, and I wouldn't have changed a whole lot, just a few things that really would not have fit in a finished article. I am sure that they will be forgotten soon, but it doesn't change the fact that I look and feel like a schmuck for the time being. Nutiketaiel (talk) 17:56, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the time being. That'll only be there a week, you know, and there are plenty of schmucks out there to kick you out of the unseemly spotlight when they come. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 21:07, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know, I know. It still doesn't make me feel better, though. I don't do a whole lot on Wikipedia, and I do even less of it well, but I don't like looking like a fool about one of the few things I do do well. Nutiketaiel (talk) 12:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
