Don't Do That!

When I went to my Talk Page, and I saw the word "Vandalized", I almost peed on myself! I thought that the main Wikipedians (whatever they're called) had seriously found a vandal and he'd hit me!

Okay, I just stuck my head in a bucket of ice water, and I feel a little calmer. But seriously, I was having a panic attack over on my end of the world. So, please, don't do that again. --DcPimp

Okay :-D --Sarahgal 22:53, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

So, uh, why'd you pick me? Did you just pick a random user, or did a whole category get vandalized or something? Oh, and send your reply to my talk page this time. I was starting to worry when I didn't get a reply. --DcPimp

Well, that's me, interesting! So, uh, did you read my userboxes? There's a few in there I made up myself. You probably know that already, though. DcPimp 13:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Really? I didn't expect a saxophonist to like rock. Guess I had that whole "jazz obsession" stereotype running through my head. Well, anyway, which bands did you like? I'm just curious. DcPimp 16:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed the guitar userbox. Small world; if Mom would ever hurry up and get me set up, I'll start guitar sometime this summer. But I'm pretty busy with basketball right now. Maybe she's waitng for that to end. --DcPimp 16:13, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Huh, guess we're opposites. :) I'm 6'3". My mom wants me to learn guitar because she couldn't learn it. She'd kill me if she saw this, but she has almost no musical talent. My dad's from a musical family, though. --DcPimp 16:20, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, I can relate to your sister. But it's not in music. A few years ago, I tried out for the football team. Why I did it, I don't know. But anyways, I couldn't catch, pass, even take a tackle right. Still can't. Just didn't suit me, you know? DcPimp 23:07, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Copycat. I thought I was the only one who was doing the band userboxes. (Sniffles uncontrollably) Meanie! DcPimp 23:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I hate to bug you yet again, but how'd you join the Wikiproject? I've been thinking about it for a while now, but I don't know how. --DcPimp 23:27, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I put my name on the list, and now that makes me the copycat. Oh, and that thing about copying my ideas was a compliment right? DcPimp 00:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Um, thanks, I guess. Uh.... this is a little awkward. I don't really know how to word this, but I almost never get complimented by girls. Even though my name is DcPimp, I very rarely ever even get talked to by them. So, uh, thanks again.... --DcPimp 02:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, so you liked that one, huh? Do you think I should submit it? DcPimp 02:38, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I just took care of that. Heck, maybe it'll actually work out. I might actually make some pretty cool Userboxes before long. ---DcPimp 02:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Fable...Fable....that's for X-Box isn't it? Well, either way, I've never played it, so you're on your own with this one. DcPimp 02:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S. If you can tell me why I said you're all alone, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting just a bit sleepy (today's ball practice was a killer) and I don't know what I'm talking about half the time right now. DcPimp 02:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah. Thanks again. But anyway, doesn't it seem like there's a PC version of everything now? --DcPimp 16:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Huh. Once again, I wouldn't know. I've not played that game either. Yeah....I'm getting just a little boring, aren't I? ---DcPimp 17:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought so. Well, guess I'll leave ya alone for a little while. See ya! ---DcPimp 18:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Survey

Hi Sarah!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!
