Revision as of 21:08, 29 December 2008
Barek is tired of wikidrama, and has chosen to spend more time in the real world; but may still wander back online occasionally. During this time, replies to queries may be greatly delayed. |

I've rewritten the infobox. What do you think of it now? Mjroots (talk) 18:52, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that it's a bit confusing with all of the year shifts - but it can be followed. Optionally, I think the original layout, just with the country/flag in the port of registry area would be slightly more compact than the original - but not as compact as it is now. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:00, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Random Rule -- Random Policing
You are the reason People hate wikipedia.
If you really want to clean up promotional links than you ought to remove most all of the links on this page comparison of netbooks
You don't actually want to clean up the page you want to punish one site to make yourself feel significant.
Get a life my links are higher quality than the rest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.30.18 (talk) 17:25, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Sheening:
Keeping this definition:
Hello Barek - I see that you have reviewed the new definition "Sheening". It is in many peoples best interest that this word sees success and I will do everything in my power to see this through.
I recieved this TALK message from Malik:
Sheening Hi Jillian, I understand that keeping the article about "sheening" may be important to you, but it may be contrary to some of Wikipedia's policies. I'm going to leave a note at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sheening explaining the problems with the article. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz
And would appreciate your help in making this new addition as successful as possible - seeing as I'm new to this site.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. And just think - all definitions had to go through hoops - think of something as simple as Ketchup... sounds stupid - but is used around the world!

- The fundamental problem here to me is that regardless of the frequency of use of the word, the entry is still a dictionary definition; while Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Wiktionary is a far more appropriate location for submitting dictionary terms. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary for more on this.
- Even if you can resolve that issue, the article still must meet the criteria of notability (see WP:N for Wikipedia's criteria of what it takes be be notable). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 05:12, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Smiles!
Thank you for helping me with that icon link on the Help Desk, and a merry Christmas to you!--DocDeel516 discuss 20:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, thanks for letting me know it worked out for you. Have a merry Christmas! --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:27, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
