In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:22, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

What were you doing, sneaking around my userpage in the first place?? --Seans Potato Business 14:38, 8 December 2007 (UTC) A concernComments like what you said at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Kurt Shaped Box [1] make me worry that you're not actually reading RfAs when participating... I'm not saying you're using a template or something, just that you should be mindful to read everything before participating. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:29, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Ralbot (talk) 08:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC) SSP caseHi - I replied on my talk page. You did fine - no worries. That comment (FFS) was not directed at you in any way - sorry to give you that impression. MastCell Talk 22:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:Crimson Rivers II DVD cover.jpgThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Crimson Rivers II DVD cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I was also the one that suggested to the Signpost that it be included. ;) Thanks for telling me though! It's cool knowing that other WPers see it. GlassCobra 05:36, 19 December 2007 (UTC) Re: Question:Thank you for the compliment on Allosaurus! To answer your questions: the lists are in descending order, oldest at top to most recent on the bottom; and yes, the talk page text is intended to be in color. I got the idea after an editor left a comment with incomplete color tags that caused the following messages to be orange. The colors are red/green because I don't know how to make them any more complex than the basics. J.

Are you accusing me of plagiarism? Colin4C (talk) 11:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC) Re my contribution:
If you analyse it you will see that I compare and contrast the two sources of the modern appeal of the vampire. There is sex, the manifestations of which have become overt in our modern technological age and death which is something with which mod technology cannot deal, so appeal is made to ancient myth and magic and folklore to symbolise this concern. So you have the combination and contrast of something new: sexual free expression and something old and immutable: mortality. A complex, abstract thought I grant you, but maybe an improvement on the relentless banality of most of the wikipedia (especially those relentlessly long plot summaries you find), which never seem to attract the attention of the wiki thought police here and those who want to dumb everything down here to primary school level.

So it is the greater explicitness of its portrayal which is the new aspect... Happy Christmas to You! Colin4C (talk) 11:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC) writing an FAHello sir - I am a fairly new editor here, and although I've had some valuable experience writing DYKs and commenting on AfDs and FACs, I'm nervous about attempting to write a featured article, given the level of scrutiny and high standards. Perhaps its nothing, but what advice would you, an editor well-versed in writing FAs (I compliment you on the great FAs on Dinosaurs, a favorite topic of mine) give to a person like me?

I was looking through your logs to see what administative actions you've been doing, and was quite shocked to see you had done absolutely none. Maser (Talk!) 03:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Of Friends and FiendsYes, no hard feelings. In fact I'm glad the vampire and werewolf pages are attracting some decent editors like yourself at last rather than it being down to myself alone to engage in a long lonely rear-guard action there with the 'troll from hell' which has been my alloted fate for the last year or so (Beowulf had it easy by comparison...).

Have a shlice of mango cheek...well, I am up to my armpits in the things. Yuletide means lots and lots of mangos, as well as turkey and ham and ice-cream and pressies. Were on special so I bought 3 crates for AU$20 and now I have both crispers in the refrigerator full and even with everyone eating two of the ##$@& things every mealtime... I am a bit mangoed out so I thought I'd spread the goodwill around....cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Happy New YearThanks and Happy New YearFirstly, let me wish you a very happy New Year and thank you for all your help in the Milhist Tag & Assess 2007 drive.
