re: GiB vs. GB

Oh... I believe you are correct. I have just rolled back my changes, and I apologize for the mistake. What I was meaning to do was to clarify the difference between the common conception of Gigabytes with the correct usage of Gibibytes (even though it's much less used). Thanks and sorry, Mysekurity 04:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Health Wiki Research

A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

Logo Variations

Hi Nihiltres, please can I ask you you to reconsider your opposition and words on the talk about the Logo Variations for special days. You took up NPOV as a factor of contention which I think is off the point. In fact the Logo Variations are intended to increase people's interest in cultural and awareness days across the board. I feel you didn't read the entire thread where the issue of the definition of special days was discussed by highly respected wickipedians. Please read the thread, please understand that according to the proposal the Logo Variations will be agreed upon in a open consensus. World Aids Day, World Cancer Day, No Smoking Day are important causes and when Google adopt their own Logo Variations for such causes, their community feel entertained and glad that the monster is still in touch with the world. Thank you for your attention. frummer 03:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My wording was harsh, but I still think that my position is right. My concern is for systematic bias. Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systematic bias#The_origins_of_bias, I just searched for and found it again. I'm not a member of the WikiProject, but its basis is important for Wikipedia. I'll check out the discussion in depth to be sure, and perhaps comment more. It is possible that there may be an acceptable way to allow some occasional festivity.

Hello, Mr. Shade, Sir.

You may or may not recall me - I'm not bothered either way. I just want to let you know that I value your message you left on my talk page. I did as you suggested and made the page Krystal_Jenkins a sub userpage. Thank you for the advice. I friend told me I should write it in the main Wiki, and I have told him he was wrong. I just want to let you know I'm not one of those jerks who gets offended when they do something wrong and it gets pointed out. I appreciate that you took the time to let me know I was in error.

Anyhow, I noticed that you are very good with code. I am wondering if you would be willing to help me by making a contact box for me. I've made several attempts but my codes won't work. I'd like one made to say that I am a fan of The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos (yes, that is the correct spelling). I have made an image on Paint Shop for it, it's file name is Thehourwithstrombographic.jpg . If you would help me with this I would be much obliged.

Oh, and as per your bottom userbox, I'd like to be your friend too. ^_~

Thank you. Kousekouse 20:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great Job

The box is perfect, thanks. Contact box? What was I thinking? *slaps forehead* it's the MySpace addiction acting up again. Thank you very much for the box. Black, white and red - awesome. Although my favourite colour is blue, lol. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kousekouse (talk • contribs) 00:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Oops! I was recent changes patrolling with tabs in a browser, and I guess I mixed up which edit(s) to undo. Sorry, my mistake. Nihiltres 02:28, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No harm done, Merry Christmas :) --Da Cubs 02:35, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The In-Betweens

Thanks for the edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Todd moylan (talk • contribs)

Glad to help. Next time, please don't insert offensive material about the band. It's not a good thing to do and is often considered vandalism. Cheers and merry Xmas, Nihiltres 01:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
