Talk:Lou Rymkus/GA1

The last comment I can find on this GA review page is that you were about to pass the article on December 26. Was there something wrong? Is something still needing to be done with the article before it qualifies? It would be nice to get this completed; it's the fifth oldest GA review. Many thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 00:19, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks to you. I completely forgot about it; it was one of those things I planned on doing in just a second (right after I said I would) and then I must have gotten sidetracked and then I forgot. Thanks for the reminder. It is  Done. Go Phightins! 01:00, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Good to know! I'm happy it worked out. (I've also done a ping for the Michael Vick GAN on its review page which I hope wasn't premature. I'm trying to check on all those reviews that have been ongoing for over a month.) BlueMoonset (talk) 01:55, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Not sure if Batard0 thought my updated referencing was adequate or if he wanted more. That one is under some special circumstances...no need to elaborate but it's not exactly a typical GAN. Go Phightins! 01:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Like Thanks very much. Peace, love, and understanding would go a long way to solving WP's problems. Go Phightins! 01:56, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Craddock1

I'm not sure if you have Craddock1's talk page on your watch list, but if you don't, you probably should and also be aware that I have given him his one and only warning about not breaking the conditions of his unblock. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:08, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I even told him at the top of the page he wasn't to edit anything other than his talk and the adoption page. His answers to my first set of questions was also pathetic. Not sure this is going to work out. Thanks again. Go Phightins! 11:25, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

As a peripheral observer, it seems to me that the unblock condition should have been to not edit anything to do with this Amirite thing, i.e. to demonstrate that he's not here just to promote that product. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 15:25, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

I thought he had already promised that earlier, so I was considering that to be a part of it (✉→BWilkins←✎) 18:16, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Reminds me a bit of my efforst with Dannyboy. Ryan Vesey 15:32, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Now that the article has been deleted, I wonder if he'll be back at all. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Go Phightins!

Hi Go Phightins! I just wanted to let you know that I borrowed the code for the format of your userbox table. Thanks! JHUbal27 (talk) 11:53, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Sysop?

Go P, thank you very much for the praise. I've had a few editors come to me and offer to nominate me for RFA, but have never taken them up on the offer. For a long time I didn't feel a need for the tools; with my position as FLC director, the ability to edit blurbs would be nice, but there aren't too many other areas where the tools would help me. I'm not really involved with ANI or AFD, and most of what I do is normal editing that doesn't need any tools. There are also practical considerations as to why I don't feel the urge to run: I'm straining to keep up with my regular editing schedule and can't take on an admin's duties, and I'm unsure whether the greater community would vote for me. They want people with more hands-on experience at admin processes than I have. To be honest, I don't have a strong need for the tools anyway, and those processes bring drama that I don't want to be a part of. Unlike many others on Wikipedia, I get to edit in peace most of the time. I'd like to keep it that way if possible. Giants2008 (Talk) 18:29, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

No problem, just something I thought you were qualified for if you wanted it. Go Phightins! 20:03, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Working out the details at Wikipedia:Today's article for improvement

The RFC for TAFI is nearing it's conclusion, and it's time to hammer out the details over at the project's talk page. There are several details of the project that would do well with wider input and participation, such as the article nomination and selection process, the amount and type of articles displayed, the implementation on the main page and other things. I would like to invite you to comment there if you continue to be interested in TAFI's development. --NickPenguin_(contribs) 02:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for delay. Ping. — Yash ^[talk] 04:33, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Just as an irrelevant comment, to remind us all that people actually do read these articles, I've had the Sousa page open plenty of times (not as much recently), listening to the audio clips of the marches with my brothers. I think I might have added portal links to the page or something like that. AutomaticStrikeout (T • C) 04:38, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Tea house user looking for help

Phightins! Good day. I am new.

A user has started demanding an article layout be changed according to his desire against the vote of everyone else who has reverted the changes. It is really odd. I am a new user and have no idea how to handle the situation. And is this type of thing a regular occurrence? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_people_who_have_been_called_a_polymath

I am also updating the page of Patrick M. Byrne which has extremely confusing Talk page requirements.Bhalluka (talk) 18:50, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for coming by. It seems to me that a Request for Comment has been started, so I would advise you to hold off until consensus is reached there before you do anything else to the article. These types of conflicts can be frustrating, so I'd suggest you just work on something a little less stressful for a while...there always have and always will be conflicts on Wikipedia, so I guess it would be fair to say disputes are a regular occurrence...we do have a dispute resolution process to resolve them, but all of those things take a little time. Thanks again for dropping by and feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. Go Phightins! 20:04, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Juan Manuel de Rosas

In here you may find my comment. I could go on and on forever, but in case there is still any doubt, let me know. Also, I'd like to make it clear that I requested a third opinion and that Noleander accepted the role. He agreed with me and complained that Cambalachero never presented any sources (despite being requested to do so in five different moments). When he finally did it, he brought books (he didn't tell what were the pages nor what were their titles or year in which they were published) written by self-described Revisionists who have been dead for the past 40 years. The sole author cited who is alive is not even a real historian. And these are books that you can not find either online nor mentioned anywhere as sources in other books. --Lecen (talk) 03:13, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Historians are not the owners of history (as much as it pains me to say that).

Phightins, please (if you have not yet) read pages 414 and 415 from the following book: [1].
