ad absurdum
I feel understood ;) - has not happened so often recently. How about "ad kafkaescum"? (look for Kafka here), and how about signing? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:47, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Like this NE Ent, can we buy you a beer or something! Montanabw(talk) 15:17, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'm always well supplied. NE Ent 00:00, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
LOL
This [1] made me laugh. Hobit (talk) 03:15, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Good luck that was my original attempt in another article.--Kitchen Knife (talk) 13:28, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Template editor
Hi, I saw that you just received the protected template editor userright. Are there any full protected templates that you'd like to edit? Let me know and I'll downgrade the protection so you can do so. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 15:03, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you. NE Ent 00:01, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
A cheeseburger for you!
I noticed that your closure of AN/I discussion has this really nifty large proclamation of the actual outcome. I find that to be amazingly simple and convenient to the eye in these cases. "Referred", "Protected" etc. I hope this will catch on with admin. I love it. Have a cheeseburger! I'd give you a kitten but they don't taste as good. ;-) Mark Miller (talk) 19:13, 17 October 2013 (UTC) |
- Two more things. I'm now watching your page. I do that when I know I can learn a great deal from the interactions and work being done by editors like you. The other....I actually see something I was wondering if you could explain. The new Template user right. I was wondering what I need to do to request that user right. I promise not to abuse it in anyway, but find that sometimes even protected templates need a little adjustment. I noticed one broken one day and could only watch until an editor got around to fixing it and it drove crazy.--Mark Miller (talk) 19:16, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I'm really that good of a role model -- many editors frown on editors who don't contribute to mainspace very much dabbling in the dispute resolution areas, I think I get some sort of exemption from not here just 'cause I've been around for so long. And I don't react to stuff per WP:Other Duck. Thank you for the cheeseburger, and the template edit criteria are at Wikipedia:Template_editor#Guidelines_for_granting.

- This cheeseburgering is making me hungry. Indeed, Ent is tolerated here for various reasons, their diversity being one of them. I keep trying to push them toward article creation, but you can't lead a horse to water. I also keep trying to find a good reason to block them indefinitely, but every time I concoct a plausible-sounding reason I think of how the Ent women have left the world and all that, and I just can't do it. Ent, that other duck sounds interesting--is it prepared with a red curry? Drmies (talk) 02:51, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- @NE Ent: I don't tolerate you, I find your way of expressing in a simple template a complex thing (that took others two months to not understand) so good that I have no words for it, nor food. Precious. @Drmies: the article we talked about, I will write it myself, Don't tell the others, or I will not be able to add you-know-what. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:10, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- You want me to inflict my incomprehensible grammar [2] on mainspace? NE Ent 10:22, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Clearly it wasn't incomprehensible or it wouldn't be fixable! So yes! But you'd probably write about some computer nonsense, or database programming or something like that. And all the while The Rhetoric of Blindness is a red link. Your fault. Gerda, your secret is safe with me. Drmies (talk) 17:00, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Drmies, you can safely tell everybody: I did it, at least a start. About blindness, more here and below. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- When I first started I had to go back and remember all my basic English classes all over again. I am far from grammatically perfect, but I know I have improved from just diving in and then watching what changes were made. Also just reading the FA and GA articles helped m better understand the neutral, encyclopedic tone to use. Go for it. You never know how good something tastes until you take a bite!--Mark Miller (talk) 21:23, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

PXE etc.
Thanks for your comment at that user's talk page. Of course, if they "try again" in a few months and do it in the same way, it'll have the same result. I have no intention of keeping the IP out of the game, and if your comment steers them toward a more productive way of discussing and editing then it was certainly worth making. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:47, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hi NE Ent, I see no problem with linking the non-primary boot methods (although a template may be better). As Matthiaspaul undid your edit, I encourage you to put your view in Talk:Preboot Execution Environment. It don't know who added the EXT or See alsos, but they've been that way some time.

Martinvl's defence
Hi NE Ent,
I have removed the "Archive wrapper" that you put the subsection entitled "Martinvl's defence". If you do not like what I have done, by all means complain to an administrator. You might like to read my response to "Beyond My Ken".
- ...and I have re-closed it. NE Ent was completely correct, that is not how ANI works. GiantSnowman 11:04, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks!
It's always nice to get a notice of "Thanks!" since so many notifications lead to unpleasant remarks. Thank you, NE_Ent! Liz Read! Talk! 02:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Your contribution to article space compared to your "talking time" is abysmal. You, who almost deleted the IPSock template singlehandedly. Get off your high horse and edit an article once in a while. Is it that difficult? Less than 10% content space to an encyclopedia, yet preaching policy as if you know how to apply it, is not worthy of much respect. Earn it. Doc talk 11:06, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
