Editing(Liam)

Hello, I saw you fixed some spelling on Liberal's user page... I just wanted to tell you that some countries spell it that way. Thanks, --Liam Spencer 21:57, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Hmm, okay.. I just go quick and take whatever is in MFF's dictionary. -^_^-Kektklik 21:59, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Fair enough. It's not a problem, just letting you know. :) --Liam Spencer 22:00, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Thanks, hun. Tell your father, "thank you", as well. -^_^- Fuzzy 19:23, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Bah(Sysops)

I really can spell, I swear!! Help Jazz 16:49, 22 January 2008 (EST)

It's fine.. it gives me something to do, since I can't really help this site in any other way. -^_^- Fuzzy 16:54, 22 January 2008 (EST)

Thank you for fixing all the spelling errors! -MexMax 16:52, 22 January 2008 (EST)

I'm bored, it's what I do. I look through the last 500 edits and see if there are spelling errors. -^_^- Fuzzy 16:54, 22 January 2008 (EST)

The C. S. Lewis article needs a real good copyedit; I was going almost dyslexic by the time I finished writing it, and I know there are a few areas that need objective eyes to look over it :) 10px Fox (talk|contribs) 16:59, 22 January 2008 (EST)

I only use FireFox's built-in dictionary. It doesn't catch everything, and right now I only feel like doing really minor edits that are super easy. -^_^- Fuzzy 17:01, 22 January 2008 (EST)

I did a few other minor edits, like adding commas. -^_^- Fuzzy 20:09, 23 January 2008 (EST)

Vote(CP)

Click on the link to vote in my poll. --Tim (CPAdmin1)^talk Vote for President 23:05, 23 January 2008 (EST)

Userbox (???)

I took it. --Tim (CPAdmin1)^talk Vote for President 23:58, 24 January 2008 (EST)

Didn't think people would actually like my userbox. Yay! -^_^- Fuzzy 12:37, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Me 2!! ~BCS^Talk2ME 12:41, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Alrighty then.. I guess it's expected because of the kind of people who are on here, eh? -^_^- Fuzzy 13:26, 25 January 2008 (EST)

Misc(vandal)

lulz--Geetarplayer 20:36, 20 February 2008 (EST)

Okay? I don't really care. -_- Fuzzy 20:38, 20 February 2008 (EST)

Don't leave!(1st)

No, don't leave!--Aschlafly 21:19, 20 February 2008 (EST)

Why not? All I really do are minor edits and my layout "fix" for Rule 45 was all wrong.. -_- Fuzzy 21:20, 20 February 2008 (EST)

So ... do some more significant edits, then! Your layout fix for Rule 45 was fine.--Aschlafly 21:31, 20 February 2008 (EST)

I am unable to do such significant edits. The "fix" wasted bytes. Maybe I'll see you offline tomorrow or some other time. -_- Fuzzy 21:36, 20 February 2008 (EST)

Your fix was fine - it did waste bytes compared to the fix I did after - but if I had to pick between how it was at the start - when there was text that went off the page - and how it was after you did it - I'd easily pick your version.--I Duan 21:44, 20 February 2008 (EST)

The "fix" I made was fine but not sufficient. It took time to do and, as I reiterate, wasted space. -_- Fuzzy 21:48, 20 February 2008 (EST)

BCS

Great contributions!! :P ~BCS^Talk2ME 15:07, 22 February 2008 (EST)

It's just spelling, bold, uncaps, or.. if no one else is paying attention, revisions to vandalism. -^_^- Fuzzy 15:08, 22 February 2008 (EST)

still it's good!! :P Grammar counts - it can kill a person when used incorrectly!! :P ~BCS^Talk2ME 15:12, 22 February 2008 (EST)

No, it can kill a foreigner if a word is pronounced wrong. You might accidentally call someone a cow, when you want to call them beautiful. -^_^- Fuzzy 15:14, 22 February 2008 (EST)

True!! :P ~BCS^Talk2ME 15:18, 22 February 2008 (EST)

Feebas

Weirdly enough, you're the only person who ever brought that up. Was there any reason in particular you posted on my talk page? (Sorry, not trying to be rude, just wondering - if you were just saying hi, that's fine too!) Feebasfactor 17:30, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Aw, leaving so soon? You were the first guy to recognize my namesake for what it is. Congratulations on your constant stream of small improvements to the site, though. Have fun wherever you go. Feebasfactor 23:14, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

1000 edits is not soon. It's several hours each day. I might fix some more cats before doing MS edits and asking someone to block me fore 3 years, 1 month and 4 days. -^_^- Fuzzy 09:20, 20 March 2008 (EDT)

Personal comment(BCS55)

What is the 'personal comment' thing??! :-) BCS55 16:08, 25 February 2008 (EST)

To remind me how far along I am with bolding. -^_^- Fuzzy 19:36, 25 February 2008 (EST)

BSE (Absentismens)

Whatever you did, you fixed it, nice job. Absentismens 22:38, 26 February 2008 (EST)

I think it was fixed, it's just we needed time to let it sit. And to fix the double redirects that were leading to it. -^_^- Fuzzy 22:42, 26 February 2008 (EST)

"Points" (Feebas)

Those numbers represent the number of individual characters added or removed by the edit. For example, replacing "v" with "," merely substitutes one character for another, so the number is zero. For a case in which a vandal replaced the article with a larger amount of text, like with Ronald Reagan, reverting it will reduce the total number of characters, and so the number is negative. The numbers don't mean anything more than that really, they just help when looking out for vandalism (i.e. blanking a page will result in a large negative number). Hope that helps a little/wasn't redundant. Feebasfactor 16:40, 9 March 2008 (EDT)

3.1415926535897932384... (Ed)

Are you seriously, literally, asserting that pi = 3? If so, please tell me the basis for your assertion. Otherwise, it seems you are either clowning around or being dreadfully sloppy. --Ed Poor ^Talk 10:33, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

I accidentally said something about pi=3. You can see that one of my userboxes says I have memorized 200+ digits of pi. Why else would I say that if I didn't think pi was irrational? -^_^-Fuzzy 10:41, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Yes, you did:

Besides the fact that Pi is exactly 3, 22/7 is also a repeating decimal. [1]

Have I misinterpreted what you wrote? (It wouldn't be the first time I misunderstood another user's post ;-) --Ed Poor ^Talk 11:35, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Dang, I totally forgot about that, haha. I was making a Simpsons reference. Someone wanted to get the attention of a bunch of geeks/nerds and he yelled "Pi is exactly 3!". *Le Gasp* -^_^- Fuzzy 12:24, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

LOL, you got my attention pretty darn quick. What does that make me? ;-) --Ed Poor ^Talk 20:25, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Ermm.. I dunno. I can't answer such simple questions without offending people right now. -_-; Fuzzy 20:28, 11 March 2008 (EDT)=

=^_^= --Ed Poor ^Talk 20:51, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

I can only memorize it to eight digits. I feel inferior. DanH 20:53, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

I was very bored in 6th grade math, so I memorized 141 digits. -^_^- Fuzzy 20:59, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Non-breaking spaces(PJR)

Why are you replacing non-breaking spaces with normal spaces? Some of your changes in that regard may be legitimate, but many of them clearly are better off with non-breaking spaces. Philip J. Rayment 21:28, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

They looked the same to me... o_0 Fuzzy 21:40, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Did you never get taught that looks aren't everything? They don't act the same. So you'll change them back now? Philip J. Rayment 21:45, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

I'm supposed to be doing homework now, so no. Just don't completely undo the Mexican War one because that had extra, unnecessary spaces in it. -_- Fuzzy 22:33, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Need and desire(Ed)

Nice distinction. It's starting to become quite pleasant to work with you, Fuzzy. :-) --Ed Poor ^Talk 09:09, 13 March 2008 (EDT)

Just a warning, I may be unpleasant for a few days/weeks because of something that happened yesterday.. ya. -_- Fuzzy 14:08, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

Okay, if circumstances have put you in a bad mood, I will take that into account. Meanwhile, I suggest you read Genesis 4:7. --Ed Poor ^Talk 14:11, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

Super Bowl(Ed)

Thanks for your help. It was a pleasure working with you. --Ed Poor ^Talk 21:41, 15 March 2008 (EDT)

I was just bored, and needed to take my mind off of a freaky-restricted phone call I got. -_- Fuzzy 21:42, 15 March 2008 (EDT)

Block amounts(DanH)

30 years. But if you're feeling really sarcastic, you can block for periods like "9 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 23 minutes, 2 seconds". DanH 02:22, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

"wanna have an undo war? It'll be fun!"(PJR)

No thanks. Did you read my edit comment: "it's not appropriate to correct spelling in people's messages, and some was correct Aussie English anyway.". What don't you understand about that? Philip J. Rayment 21:50, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Isn't correcting spelling part of a wikignome's job? o_0 Fuzzy 21:51, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Correcting spelling in articles, not people's messages. You can also correct grammar and make sentences clearer, but sometimes you have to first figure out what the author meant to say. When you start doing all that to people's messages, you are trying to figure out and restate what they were intending. In articles, it doesn't matter if you aren't sure what the author was saying, as it is a collaborative work, and it can just as much be your words as the previous editor's words. But that doesn't apply to their talk-page messages.

Secondly, as I pointed out in my edit comment, some of your spelling "corrections" were not corrections at all, but were changing correct English spelling to American spelling. Apart from anything else, that is against the rules. And that applies to articles as well (with some exceptions).

Philip J. Rayment 21:57, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Archiving (Feebas)

Um, sorry to bug you again but... would you mind if I archived your talk page? Feebasfactor 12:45, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

Don't leave! DanH 13:27, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

Is 314 seconds better than 3 years, 1 month, 4 days? -_- Fuzzy|AFK 15:11, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

Sincerest sorrows(AmesG?)

About your kitteh. They're great animals, and I know it hurts to lose one :-(. -HankS 16:39, 22 March 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. She was quite fun, even though she ran away from just about everyone else except my mother and my neighbor's dog. She coincidentally got sick when the downstairs computer started having buffer overflow errors... v_v Fuzzy|AFD 16:42, 22 March 2008 (EDT)

Haha! That's hilarious. They're their own animals, that's for sure. I gave my cat a hug in your cat's honor, and mine said "Prrrt." I'm sure what she meant to say was, "I'm sorry for your loss too," in Catspeak.-HankS 16:46, 22 March 2008 (EDT)

What's your cat's name? I received my cat for my 6th b-day, so I gave her the best name I could come up with at that age: Purrfect. She used to purr really loud when she was younger. yea. Fuzzy|AFD 16:50, 22 March 2008 (EDT)

Mostly we call her "girl"; she doesn't really answer to the names we give her, or her shelter name, but "girl" or *kissy noises* seem to provoke a response, so you could call those her names :-)? She's 12; we adopted her at 11 from the pound. She jumped on my lap when my girlfriend & I went looking, and we couldn't say no to that! When grief passes you should save another kitty from the shelter :-).-HankS 17:43, 22 March 2008 (EDT)

Articles (Deborah)

I usually categorize my articles, but sometimes I don't know what to categorize them under-- User:Deborah (contributions) (talk) 22:59, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

Delete (BCS)

Done. ~BCS^Talk2ME 11:13, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

Thank ye. ^_^ Fuzzy|AFD 11:16, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

Ye is welcome!! :P ~BCS^Talk2ME 18:56, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

Tease you (Ed)

??? your girl friend's name is Ethyl? --Ed Poor ^Talk 19:22, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

No, her name is Phyllis. She was studying organic chemistry, and she had name certain compounds, like, "2-5 dimethyl.." etc. +_+ Kektk 19:24, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

She actually lets you get away with calling her Dim Ethyl? Wow, you must be quite a man. ;-) --Ed Poor ^Talk 19:30, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

DimmEd, I hate you. And no, that's the name I use for her mother. -^_^- Kektk 19:40, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

Your Help is Requested (StatsMan)

Please click me! StatsMsn 09:48, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

Shortening URLs (PJR)

Can you give me an example of what you mean by "Shortening URLs for references", please? Philip J. Rayment 02:36, 22 March 2008 (EDT)

I left a comment on Atheism's talk page. That should help, right?

Thanks. Yes, I've seen the odd one of them myself, although not enough that I would have made fixing them a goal. But they are certainly worthwhile fixing. Philip J. Rayment 08:13, 23 March 2008 (EDT)
