Revision as of 18:19, 24 May 2012
Of argument, a man's no horse.
He'd prove a buzzard is no fowl,
And that a Lord may be an owl,
A calf an Alderman, a goose a Justice,
And rooks, Committee-men or Trustees.

Many thanks for the note about the barn star
Many thanks for leaving a note on my userpage about the barn star. This really helped to make my year, as it is the first time I have ever been nominated for a barn star in all my years of editing Wikipedia, so a million thanks! ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:21, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

327th Signal Battalion
You recently added a cleanup tag to 327th Signal Battalion without specifying a reason. To help other editors identify the problems please add a reason to the tag using the |reason=
parameter or replace it with a more specific tag. Per this discussion cleanup tags without reasons can be removed. AIRcorn (talk) 02:05, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for dropping by, done here. The tags were removed anyway, even the {{wikify}} one which did have a reason (this same reason i had also put on {{cleanup}} but then removed it). I've replaced {{wikify}} with {{dead end}} now as refs are fixed, infobox added; and prose is in {{cleanup}}. Question: does this also apply for
{{multiple issues|cleanup=xxxx}}
tags? (being removed if no reason specified?) benzband (talk) 15:13, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: money, money
YesH, UD-10.1 (N) "to be considered outside the 'norm'". :)
Gimme some money, but multiply it by 0 and this is both the maximum and minimum possible ammount I pretend! Unfortunately, I have to tell you that your transaction have not taken place because the banks have stolen all the money (yours, mine, and all the others), but despite this, they still have their safes empty and huge/gigantic/enormous/colossal/pantagruelian/massive debts! And, ya know, I'm that dad who never hurt nobody. I just loved to live that way, and I loved to steal your money. :D Of course, I will not tell you about the gr8est t3rr0r15t group in the whole human history.
"Gums gums / there's gums on the pouf / gums gums / they're made to shut" :D
All the bestEST!
P.S.: Do you want to participate in this? There are no prizes (nor fun ~ hahaha).
P.S. #2: The "norm and outside the norm" thingY made me think of The Normal (Daniel Miller) and his super-fantastic "Warm Leatherette" (1978!!! Here is the original song with scenes from Crash (1996) by David Cronenberg. Both the song and the film are based on Crash, a 1973 novel by J. G. Ballard. "WL" is the B-side of another seminal track: "T.V.O.D."). Here is a fatastic cover version of "WL" made by Peter Murphy, Trent Reznor, Jeordie White, and Atticus Ross live on the radio in Boston in 2006... but you probably know all this already. BestEST! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 09:38, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
"White Man" is one of the greatest songs ever... and Joe's favourite!!!
Robin is just a local solution, and "the new groups (1, 2,...) are not concerned with what there is to be learned (1, 2, 3,...)"
Were they using NT, XP, Vista, 7, or 8? :D
Best! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:31, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Yes, the '48, that's true! And, probably both cockpits were listening to Suicide :D! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:21, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Re:NOFX ~ dunno, lol ... what we could say is that they are a fantastic band, and that we are living in the dark age(s) (a.k.a. the age of...). Have a great week! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:24, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Re:Jello in the lineup ~ wasn't CaliPORNia Über Alles? Anyway I was too drunk... to answer correctly, and my favourite DK song is "Holiday in Cambodia"!!! Note: check out UD for CaliP... and the second EX-claIm-aCtion p.Oi!.NT! :D ~ also that NOFX stuff reminded me of Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine (maybe it would be more correct to say the opposite because The Audacity of Hype has been released in 2009). BestEST–pjoef (talk • contribs) 17:51, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for all the tracks. [It was] a great way to start a new day! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 06:56, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
"Congratulations, you made it through the song[s]" ~ lol ~ but please don't be excessive. Anyway, I've got all of their albums, but my So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes CD does not include that hidden track. So once again thank you Ben. I'll ignore the "issue" about leaders and democracy, which has been changed (if it ever existed at all). There's too much to say about and this is not the right place to post this. You know, I could be wrong (and) I could be right, maybe I was wrong, I am wrong... as always, but it is far too complicated to sort out the origin of punk music. It has its roots and origins in the garage bands of the '60s and acts such as The Kingsmen, The Kinks, The Who, Small Faces, Petty Things, The Seeds, ? & The Mysterians+Zappa, MC5, and Velvet Underground, The Stooges, New York Dolls, DeVo, Roxy Music, Ramones,... (in semi-chronological order), and both garage and punk were strongly influenced by Blues/R&B/R&R of the '50s (Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, ..., you know). But, the day punk died was the same day it rised! Joe said they signed for CBS to reach a worldwide audience, which was not a bad thing and this produced excellent results both in terms of music and radical politics. So what, so what? Don't listen to me listen to your head! (Note: some of the links have nothing to do with their contexts ~ lol). –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:23, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Assistant Coordinator of WikiProject Wikify
Hey, I'm not actually entirely sure about the activity levels of the executive coordinator User:Sumsum2010 and the other administrative officer User:Kerowyn. But User:Nolelover formally vacated his position as assistant coordinator and I've seen your activity around Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify and I've been fairly impressed. I was wondering if you would be interested in filling the vacated position. As of now, the most important thing would be getting the drive set up for June (I'll certainly help) and getting awards handed out afterwards. Other projects will probably appear, for example I don't think a newsletter has gone out in a long time. Ryan Vesey Review me! 22:53, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
- Still 0 articles which could do with some wikifying… Have just set up the June pages and an invite ^^ Distributing the awards shouldn't be a problem either (Nolelover already asked Wilhelmina Will or me to do it before). The Newsletter sounds a really great idea, i'd be really glad to help you sort something out (just been and updated the news pages :) Here's a list of drives that could be included, assuming that a newsletter is programmed for July 2012 (Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/News/July 2012):
- October Drive (2011)
- December Drive
- February Drive (2012)
- March "Mini" Drive
- April Drive
- June Drive ← will have just concluded
- I suppose dropping a note to those who were involved before can't hurt either? benzband (talk) 08:43, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Just want to repeat my support for you, Ben. I'll pop around when I can, and follow any discussions (I'll be darned if I quit Wikipedia for good before we figure out everything about {{wikify}}, AWB and the various instructions we're trying to put around). One thing you might look at is finding a replacement for User:MessageDeliveryBot, which seemed to completely miss the last invite I submitted (unless you want to AWB them out, which is a pain if you ask me. Good luck (although I know you won't need it ;) Nolelover Talk·Contribs 16:29, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Boston Wiknic Template
Hey, I'm making an invite Template for the Boston Wiknic, and I'm wondering if there's any way to make it so that, when substituted, there's a Signature and Timestamp added. Could you take a look at User:Achowat/sandbox and let me know. Cheers! Achowat (talk) 17:43, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Just putting tildes (3 for sig only, 5 for date only, 4 obviously for both) should do it, right? Just replace "<code>'''TIME'''</code>" with "~~~~~". Replacing "[[User:Achowat|Achowat]]" with "~~~" should give the inviter's signature. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 17:53, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) The following should do the trick:
~~<includeonly>~~</includeonly><noinclude>~~</noinclude>
. - Color-coded explanation →
~~<includeonly>~~</includeonly><noinclude>~~</noinclude>
shows up as :~~~~
on the template page~~~~
on the target page
- It cannot expand in the template page because of the tags in the way, but once substituted it can expand freely as four tildes are in a row. Cheers, benzband (talk) 18:04, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- What if, for the sake of style in the message, I wanted ~~~ and then also ~~~~~. Is there a trick to that? Achowat (talk) 18:17, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) And just to clarify, if he/I only wants timestamp/sig, he would change the number of tildes in the includeonly tags? Neat trick splitting the tildes like that btw...I learn something new everyday here. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 18:19, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
