Hey, Thue, how do you get the blue box to wrap around the VfD listing once an item is resolved? RickK 23:48, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

I insert

{{subst:vfd top}}: '''outcome'''. ~~~~

at the top and

{{subst:vfd bottom}}

at the bottom. Thue | talk 05:44, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks RickK... I guess we all learn from our mistakes! I've certainly learned anyway... - Ta bu shi da yu 05:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How are you, Rick? You are very sincere and honest. Those are two traits that I respect in a person. Thank you for not objecting to my nomination. By the way, is Stormie still active? I haven't heard from him in a long time. Take care, Tony the Marine

Hey Rick, do you drink soda? If so, how much and what brand is your favorite? - Andrew LIN

Don't bother answering him. See my talk page if you want to know why. This user (aka Andrew Lin) is using talk pages as platforms to annoy and spread his odd anti-soda campaign since his articles about the same have all been deleted or are up for VFD. - Jersyko 00:17, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Rick, I'm kinda busy but just found this: Shaykh Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi which seems to be identical to the article Khawja Shams-ud-din Azeemi which you listed as a copyvio. - Mark 08:11, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RickK! Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage! Do you have a clue as to why people hate me so much? Sjakkalle 09:32, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've completely redone the Punkas article. I hope you have the time to check it. It may not be as much a candidate for deletion as it previously was. Tx.--McDogm 20:31, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rick, I noticed your revert at Template:Limitedgeographicscope. Why not discuss on Talk (keeping in mind that a revert is like a slap in the face)? — mark ✎ 22:56, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, I see that Ec5618 didn't use an edit summary — however, he actually did explain his reasoning on Template talk:Limitedgeographicscope before putting part of the words back in. — mark ✎ 23:04, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(replied over there) — mark ✎ 23:25, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(and again replied over there, but basically I was saying that I think we all need to cool down before we make a mountain out of a molehill) — mark ✎ 23:40, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where your ideas about this template being "anti-Western" come from, but for an excellent example of it being used to encourage expansion of an article whose limited geographic scope is quite obviously "anti-Western" in its implications, check out (or indeed help improve) Uses of torture in recent times. I found it through the template, and started adding some bits, but a whole lot of work remains to be done. - Mustafaa 00:25, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hated more than you by at least one user! [1]. I wonder if that's an accomplishment.

hallo Rick - my students exercised as oceanographers, taking code from my space preparing for a German demonstration project on virtual university, the idea of Erik Moeller (user:eloquence) of the Wikiversity for online e-teaching and e-research and I offered my cooperation as teacher and my interactive virtual microscope for a course in Meeresbiologie and Biologie der Antarktis - for that project it is important to have reproducible credentials for the teachers. We also plan to move educational content from expensive university servers to the free project (in Germany we don't even have tuition in the University) - help us - or not - I really don't care if I am sysop or not, I have that all behind me - we try to help the NeXT generation - best greetings Uwe Kils PS we are searching for cooperators with real names

Is suggesting that someone check the validity of what they nominate for deletion an attack in your eyes?

Is asking someone to be responsible for ten seconds of research before nomination (which then clearly takes the rest of us an order of magnitude higher to sort through) a personal attack in your eyes?

COUNTING Google hits is virtually worthless, LOOKING at the FIRST Google hit would have answered the rhetorical questions the nominator asked in his nomination. --Unfocused 21:02, 27 May 2005 (UTC) [reply]
