Better wording link?

At "Sea surface temperature", is there a better term than thermal conductivity to meet the "evaporative cooling contributes substantially to canvas bucket errors, and may even dominate in some cases" description? X1\ (talk) 20:38, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi X1\, the problem is that influences on canvas bucket errors are too varied to be reflected in a link to a single concept. For good discussions of the factors that go into SST measurement errors see Kent and Taylor (2006) or Matthews (2013). Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 20:47, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

ArbCom

If this Boris won't run for a position of power, by jove I will!

All those in favor of Shock Brigade Harvester Boris running for the next ArbCom, say "aye". Drmies (talk) 00:53, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

I am going to request indefinite full protection. Or full indefinite protection, whichever one it is supposed to be. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 02:35, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

It has dawned on me that you folks may actually be serious about this. If that is the case I am truly moved by your (unwarranted) confidence. But there is no way that I could take the time to do a good job. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 02:36, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

--Stephan Schulz (talk) 07:47, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Aye, but ah dinna ken. Anyone sane enough to do it well is liable to be too sensible to take it on. So, mibbe aye, mibbe naw. . . dave souza, talk 03:28, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
  • I'd say definitely nay, simply because my running for Arbcom is my first platform on my stepping stones to the facist dictatorship of Europe. If Boris ran, I'd be less likely to be able to invade Gibraltar this side of 2020, and that's highly inconvenient. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:51, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Question

Was there ever a real User:Randy in Boise? I've seen that name on WP from time to time (mostly ANI so I thought he was a disruptive user) but before today, I never bothered to click on the link. doh +rug burns. Atsme📞📧 00:56, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Studio 71

The Studio 71 article has been altered again to remove promotional tone. I removed your advert tag, but wanted you to visit the page at your earliest convenience so to garner your approval of this change. If you didn't approve, I told the COI editor that you were free to re-add the template as you saw fit. Thank you for your time. Regards, Spintendo ᔦᔭ 20:57, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

@Spintendo: thanks for notifying me. If you're OK with the article I won't re-add the COI tag. The article is pretty lousy -- mostly a bulleted list of random facts, many of which are the "who cares?" variety. But I don't mind that the article is lousy, only that it's policy compliant and doesn't deceive our readers. I'm not particularly interested in working for free to polish up an article by a paid editor. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 21:13, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

2018...seems more futuristic than realistic...

Time To Spread A Little
HappyHolidayCheer!!
I decorated a special kind of Christmas tree
in the spirit of the season.

 What's especially nice about
this digitized version:
*it doesn't need water
*won't catch fire
*and batteries aren't required.
Have a Happy Holiday Season!

and a prosperous New Year!!

Replica?

Have you considered "Category:Wikipedians who cannot be trout-slapped because they are already fish"? William M. Connolley (talk) 19:10, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Excellent point. I did write WP:BAIT, after all. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 21:43, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Welcome

One is but a flatworm?

I'm glad to find out that you cannot be trouted, either! And on teh Internet, nobody knows that you're a fish! --Tryptofish (talk) 19:16, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

As a Plan B, what about flatworming ?NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 22:50, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
YES!!! 2601:401:500:5D25:7033:D48C:66AC:2998 (talk) 05:09, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Flatworms? Nah! Watch out for the ick! --Tryptofish (talk) 18:23, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Wait till they start wearing top hats..... dave souza, talk 20:54, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
One of the many benefits of being a flatworm is that if your head gets cut off you just grow a new one. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 04:15, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Another Daily Mail RfC

There is an RfC at Talk:Daily Mail#Request for comment: Other criticisms section. Your input would be most helpful. --Guy Macon (talk) 16:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

is likely in 3RRArchive362. — xaosflux Talk 13:53, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Holy moly

I was cleaning out my watchlist today, and came across Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/SandyGeorgia. I can't even recall who did such a silly thing! Anyway, it reminded me of you :) Hope you are well, rarely see you around! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:18, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Ha! Looking back it's hard to tell if I was in a humorous mood or a cynical mood.
Anyway good to hear from you. I'm not all that active here any more, mostly just poking around the edges here and there. Take care. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 00:58, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Friends Of Wisdom
Thank you for your support! Dael4 (talk) 03:18, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Confound you!

Stop confuddling everything. Softlavender (talk) 06:26, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Why do I have to do all the work around here? Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 02:16, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

A Favour if you feel inclined.

I'm sure you will understand if I ask you to peek at a the bottom section of my sandbox User:Roxy the dog/sandbox its messy but small. I've refactored the two talk pages involved in the conversation so that I could get my head round it. I'll have to post it to the article talk page I think.

Feel free to ignore

Usual fee. thx. -Roxy, the dog. barcus 15:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

If I understand correctly, you're asking if it's OK to repost this to the article talk page? That's fine. I'm about to leave for shopping and to try a new place for lunch so won't be around for a bit. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 16:15, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
I just Street-viewed Des Moines Downtown. I've seen that walkway over the road before on teh internetz. -Roxy, the dog. barcus 16:25, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

To what torque?

Re tightening up the lead, FYI, I hope during winter, when I'm a bit more deskbound, to have time to work on this. Once we kicked around the idea of replacing the current lead with the the lead version at time of FA status, plus updates as strictly needed. I still like that basic idea but don't have time to work on it until the ground freezes and its dark outside. But I'd support someone else who jumps on it first. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 02:15, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Probably around 29 lb-ft is good enough to set the crush washer on the drain bolt. What? Oh...
No rush. The lead isn't terrible now, just a bit flabby and repetitious. I may continue to chip away at it off an on. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 02:36, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
OK. Just bought a impact wrench, you can borrow it if things seem stuck. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 07:59, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Haven't you chaps got round to torqueing in terms of newts? Much more apposite what with increasing flooding when it's not droughting. . . . dave souza, talk 14:02, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Newts? We're looking for them. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 03:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

FYI

Please see, thought I inform you about this edit. prokaryotes (talk) 13:29, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

You must come to dacha and try polonium soup. It gets glowing reviews. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 03:56, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
As long as you wash your hands after working with the Novichok ... Acroterion (talk) 04:05, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

A place I found some insight

FYI in case you don't know about this. I wonder about inviting users to propose their own editing restrictions, as means of constructive problem solving? NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:53, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
