what is wrong with my references? CrazyAces489 (talk) 22:45, 24 August 2014 (UTC) I think I understand what you mean. Also I have been working on this article. It was deleted via AFD but I believe now might be ready for userspace. Any opinions? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CrazyAces489/shiina CrazyAces489 (talk) 23:18, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
I'm back!
After 10 months in the hospital, I am back, albeit slowly right for the next couple of weeks, but I'm staying in my father's home until I'm more stabilized and everything in my body doesn't hurt just from standing or sitting! So much has changed since I've been gone; rules that relate to what I do (esp. in uploading photos from Flickr-- I see some are now directly uploaded there differently) so I'm going to have plenty of questions. Happy to be home though. Missed you and a few more here.. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 16:55, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Plip!
Why? For a long forgotten edit. The news article said nothing about a corner's report. Cheers. – S. Rich (talk) 03:28, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Is this significant coverage?
CrazyAces489 (talk) 17:44, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- No, it's not I'm afraid. It amounts to trivial coverage... it is not about him, it's a technical article written by him. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 20:40, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

FYI
I actually saw a couple lunatics seriously speculating that, based on editing patterns, I'm your sockpuppet. Among other things, it gave me the laugh of a lifetime to have a bunch of people incorrectly conclude that I'm Scottish despite my having stated my nationality on several occasions (hint: I consider myself at about the center of the political spectrum and my favorite color is blue). I was also accused of a lot of other bullshit too, mostly for having the audacity to actually care about less fortunate people, but that one was a real rip-snorter. Since one of their other incorrect speculations was that I'm a psychology student (I've focused for 2 years on editing a case study in psychology, although there are a number of reasons why I chose the subject and why it's been so long), I can only assume they've never heard of pareidolia.

- S'okay, found it. I don't understand what the issue was. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 15:04, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- Figured you might want to know what was going on in case you get messages or e-mails asking whether our accounts are related (which is how I first learned of it, though I obviously didn't respond). Just alittle heads-up. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 16:31, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks... bit of an odd one. I suppose I should feel flattered. They've put in a daft amount of effort trying to unmask me. They could have just asked? Catfish Jim and the soapdish 17:28, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Battle of Barry
I noticed your revert of my edit on Battle of Barry where you say in your edit summary; "That's what it said". Well, I have to inform you that you are wrong. If you examine the given reference using the zoom facility (which clearly you need to do), you will see that the word is "often", not "oftern". Perhaps you would like to revert your revert and in future examine edits more diligently before you apply the revert tool. In my edit I clearly explained for the ignorant amongst us which lines the relevant text may be found in. Obviously (to me) you could not be bothered to check before you behaved like a bull in a china shop. I look forward to seeing your reverse. Jodosma (talk) 18:51, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. Jodosma (talk) 19:14, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Catfish Jim and the soapdish: PS Sorry about my rant. I should have been more diligent(!) before I posted the above, but could you please explain what is meant by "nvm" in an edit summary? Jodosma (talk) 19:25, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- nvm = nevermind. I spent a long time creating that article and transcribing old texts like that one. Every now and then on articles like this where there is archaic English/Scots "well-meaning" editors, often using automated tools, correct spelling. I had assumed this was the case here, but saw that I was wrong after I made my edit. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 19:55, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying nvm. In future I'll put something in my edit summary to indicate I've checked the source. Jodosma (talk) 07:04, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
