Adopt

Hi, I just returned from a...vacation, as you can call it, so if my reply is rather late, I apologize. I was thinking of adopting you, but since ed is willing to take you, I'm fine with it. But if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask anyone! Cheers, Zacharycrimsonwolf 05:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the reversion on my talk page, much appreciated :) ——Possum (talk) 23:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Your welcome. I'm surprised that no one else got there sooner. OllieFury (talk) 23:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Guestbook

Would you like me to explain the steps needed to create your own guestbook? Blooded Edgeawards 20:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes please, I'd like that. Ollie Fury Contribs 22:39, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, I may ramble a bit, but I hope I get the basics across. Ok, here goes.

  • First, goto your userpage, and look at the address bar. It should say something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:OllieFury.
  • Now, to the end of that, add /guestbook or /guest_book, something like that. Hit enter after that, and you should be presented with the options to create the page.
  • Start the page, and leave a message asking visiting users to sign, and hey presto! Your done!

If you need to clarify anything, drop me a note. Blooded Edgeawards 15:46, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

It's here. Could you sign it as well? Ollie Fury Contribs 19:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Signed, the directions I gave weren't too hard to follow, were they? Blooded Edgeawards 19:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Your directions were fine. I noticed that you were doing GCSE's. I hope you do very well in them (whenever you are taking them). Ollie Fury Contribs 19:16, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks very much for your support, I'm going to take them this year in England. I must admit, we're at least a good 6-7 months away from the exams, and already the work is piling up XD. Anywho, I hope I do well also, otherwise my parents will kill me :O. Blooded Edgeawards 19:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah I'm from near London. I didn't perform too wonderfully for my GCSE's but as long as you don't leave everything to the last minute like I did, you'll do fine. Ollie Fury Contribs 19:29, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Ouch, I'm trying my hardest not to leave everything to the last few weeks, but I don't have the best of attention spans. Nonetheless, I do as much as I can to keep up to date with HW, tasks and etc. Thanks for your advice and barnstar though :). Blooded Edgeawards 20:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

My edits to David Ferguson Biography Page

I have discussed my changes with [User talk: KillionDude|KillionDude] and plan on adding them back with references and edit notes so that Huggle no longer considers them vandalism. I just wanted to let you know since you told me that you reverted my changes because they were a test. They are not a test. I plan to have them included in the article.

Cassandrar (talk) 04:40, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I was confused as well. This user must've been the 76.252.217.243 before s/he registered for an account. Killiondude (talk) 10:11, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes. That was me. Can you tell me what mistake I made now?

Cassandrar (talk) 03:51, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm new here and got confused. I actually wasn't 76.252.217.243 before registering, at least I don't think I was. That's the person who was undoing my changes. I'm not a sock puppet.

Thnx but...

--Ciscokid21 (talk) 22:38, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

P.S. its absolutly alright to make a move, heck you can make as many moves as you want (just not my pieces or more than one at a time ;-)
--Ciscokid21 (talk) 22:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Were you the one that was moving all the time on tuesday? (yesterday)

--Ciscokid21 (talk) 20:19, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Look at the history for your chess page and you will see that I did make three moves yesterday. Also can you please remember to always sign your posts on talk pages! Ollie Fury Contribs 20:27, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

okey dokey! (I was going to see if it was my turn and then realized that someone was playing me

P.S. I'll remember to sign from now on! and i figged out how to get it with the "Make a move..." without the anoying arrow of death that shows that it is a hyperlink to a seperate page!

--Ciscokid21 (talk) 20:30, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

my chess board is not updating! I went to make a move over 5 hours ago, and it still has not updated! can you try and fix this???

--Ciscokid21 (talk) 22:21, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

It will update eventually. Check in the next half hour. It should work. Ollie Fury Contribs 22:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Ceremonial Buckinghamshire

To not use the word "ceremonial" when referring to places in Milton Keynes is misleading. This is because there is still an administrative county called Buckinghamshire, and that doesn't include Milton Keynes or any of the places in Milton Keynes District. Comparing it to Berkshire is not the same thing, as there is no administrative county of Berkshire any more, and thus a distinction between administrative and ceremonial is unnecessary. -- roleplayer 21:43, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

OK I get that. Maybe a better example would be Luton in Bedfordshire or Swindon in Wiltshire. I do still like to think that Buckinghamshire exists in its entirety for more than purely political reasons- to split MK off and just pretend that it's not Buckinghamshire doesn't sound right. However I'm in a minority- so call it ceremonial. I reserve the right to say MK is in Buckinghamhire in real life though! Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 16:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
But you are still doing it. Milton Keynes is not in the area described by the current Buckinghamshire article and it is misleading to readers to send them there. Either omit the [[ ]]s or use Buckinghamshire#Ceremonial county. It's a lot easier for you to do it when making the edit than for others to tidy up after you. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:57, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
I called it vandalism, a lttle tongue-cheek, to get your attention since - despite your favourable response to Roleplayer's request - you continued to make inappropriate wlinks. On the scale of vandalism, it is barely 1 out of 10. The issue is not that somebody from North Bucks might continue to say that they are from Buckinghamshire (quite reasonably, if only to give a sense of where in GB they live). The issue is that the Buckinghamshire article as it stands is about the administrative entity that stops (roughly) at the Varsity Line. So a reader from another part of the world will be very confused if a link from Olney takes him/her to an admin county that is as irrelevant as Beds or Northants. Of course the alternative would be to rewrite the Buckinghamshire article so that the admin elements are secondary, but there is an eastablished precedent (see talk:traditional counties of England) that we don't do that. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
You may be surprised, but I agree with you. The problem arises only because the current Buckinghamshire is about the admin county. By wlinkinking to #Ceremonial county, we make the best of a bad job. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 13:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
