Yeats
Dear Kablammo, sooner later himself is going to be at FAR, and we need to be ready. So am suggesting a step by stem collab, with the first thing being an expansion of the lead. If I make a stab in the next week or so, will you stake your reputation and all that is holy on proof reading and removing my odd PADDYENG spelling...and what have you with fact checking, reliability of sources etc? Answer please in 2,400 hours, or this message will self destruct. Ceoil (talk) 16:53, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- If you give him 2,400 hours, he will take 2,399 before getting his duff in gear. You may need to entice him with some youtube music. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:24, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Well since you ask here is the Waterboys very successfully setting mr Yeats to music, but be aware that I'll as him to review at 2,398.5 hours, so he have 30 minutes to BRITEND, or *BANG* and game over for mr Kablammo. Ceoil (talk) 17:29, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ceoil, I had not heard that before. It is transcendent. I do like poetry from his "young exquisite" phase; it clearly influenced Joyce, and to my mind Dylan Thomas as well. Kablammo (talk) 20:04, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yes Kablammo, and the album Fisherman's Blues is as good and easily in my top 15. I saw them live a few times at the time (1989-1990), and they were a force to be recoked with. Unfortunately there is few (to no) contemporary live footage (though lots of bootlegs on tape) but this might give an idea We Will Not Be Lovers Ceoil (talk) 20:28, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- The first one is amazing, Ceoil, and reminds me of the flute in my old favorite: [1] SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:34, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

- I hear Mr. Kablammo has everything ever written about Yeats or Joyce and can recite most of Yeats from memory. But good luck getting him to actually, ya know, edit. Did you disable your email? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:37, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

- No, my email is working, but keep on forgetting the passwords, which is now amazingly locked into my i-pads computer memory (or something) as "1234tedcruzeisaprick". I'm now getting in and checking more often so accessible and less distant these days. Ceoil (talk) 17:48, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- If you want to fix your iPad's memory of passwords, do this:
- Click on settings (the gear icon)
- Scroll down
- Click on Passwords
- Enter your iPad pin
- Scroll down to your email
- Click on the right arrow

- My fine Irish friend, you erred grievously in posting here, because you have called attention of a certain former FAC delegate (or whatever the hell she (they?) called her herself back when she was the Maud Gonne of Wikipeida), and now she may add this to her hit list. But I will do my best, and should we fail, we can take solace in knowing we are bred to a harder thing than triumph. Kablammo (talk) 17:46, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- I just want to know what knowledge either of you fine Irishmen have of Ted Cruz's prick. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:17, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- None here, but I'm sure it's no big thing.
- Why are you curious about it? Kablammo (talk) 18:20, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- No big thing relative to ... what? Bill Clinton's? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:27, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

- Dude, after almost ever content addition to wiki I post, I worry and consider what the hell would a "a certain former FAC delegate, or whatever the hell she called her herself back when she was the Maud Gonne of Wikipeida" think. Her standards are, I hope inbuilt. But I cant spell ff, and you seem to have a lot of knowledge I want to avail of. So you have 2400 hours, starting.....now[!] Ceoil (talk) 17:51, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

- Despite what Ms. Sandy (I hope the Ms. is OK with her) says, my print sources are relatively limited: Foster's two-volume biography, Ellmann, and the autobiography. I have no critical sources in print, other than introductions to volumes of his work and A Reader's Guide to William Butler Yeats by John Unterecker. There is no major library locally but some within a few hours. Let me know how I can assist. Kablammo (talk) 18:09, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Sound out. I have Foster x 2, JSTOR, a number of general 1921-1940 Irish lit overviews, and google. Pls keep a watch and correct as needed. bEST. Ceoil (talk) 18:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Stupid idea to live in the boontoolies. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- haha, indeed! Ceoil (talk) 18:20, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- OK, enough fun now for Mr. Kablammo (has he actually made any edits yet? I rest my case ... ) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:21, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Sandy, your taste in music seems to be earthly and melody driven, here is a nice tune for you, its nostalgic and pleasingly evocative of times past never to return. [2] Ceoil (talk) 23:28, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- My god Ceoil, that is a perfect song; melodic, rythmic, and a perfect balance of instruments, and instruments and voice. I think I've listened to it half-dozen times, and counting.
- (It may be some distance from the Nilsson song I mentioned to you some time ago, but in the end maybe not so far after all). Kablammo (talk) 00:08, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

- Ceoil, I am not sure how many hours are left of the deadline you set, but I am willing to commence work once you are. Kablammo (talk) 19:56, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Hello. Probably about 8 more days. Then we shall rise at 9:30am-ish to tackle. I would like you watching my back, and you do seem to have a lot of sources, so much appreciated. Best. Ceoil (talk) 22:51, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Ps...didn't reply to your incoming over weekend as was in Dublin on holiday with only a tablet, and that thing spell corrects all my cuss words. I cant properly express myself - when it matters- without those things, so to say agree, and let your imagination run wild at what would have fe*k%ng *bol@~*k—ing* said :) Ceoil (talk) 22:55, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- You will have to translate when you get to a more forgiving computer. In the meantime, I've been listening to the tune you sent me. Kablammo (talk) 01:32, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Fredrick Willius
Thanks so much for your copyediting help! I'm new to editing source code so there are bound to be some mistakes, but thank God for the draftspace, so I can iron out all of the kinks before tag it for review. I am still waiting on a couple of sources I want to use to add some more detail to his career section, but do you think it's sufficiently sourced and edited to go ahead and tag it for review now, and I can make those changes later, once it's a real article again? - Evansknight (talk) 02:33, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Archiving blanked pages
Re: Talk:Norway Debate#Archiving are you taking about the page in the state it was in when you made your comment or in general?
Generally, I want to discourage User:No Great Shaker from setting up archive bots that remove so many old sections the ToC disappears. Adding archiving without first ensuring consensus is only acceptable if the user in good faith believed his or her actions were uncontroversial. Once it is readily apparent this is not the case, persisting is not acting in the best interests of the project.
However, I am not prepared to undo bot actions once taken. CapnZapp (talk) 15:25, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Capn, I think the bot edit should be reverted, and the page restored. It was only half the size where archiving is recommended. I give no special deference to bots; they should be a tool, not a weapon. Kablammo (talk) 19:10, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- While I would normally say auto-archiving is a trivial and uncontroversial action, and hesitate to undo archiving once done, in this case its obvious the stable state is before archival. Let's just see if User:No Great Shaker self-immolates first. Cheers, CapnZapp (talk) 22:36, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Would you consider becoming a New Page Reviewer?
Hi Kablammo, I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board. Cheers, and hope to see you around, (t · c) buidhe 22:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC) |
