Reply to "Hello Again"

You don't need to feel lonely! Lots of people talk to you, and I love talking to you (actually I just love talking......) Anyway about that thing you said about adoption ... was that a good thing or a bad thing? (I mean what you said about your program) ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 19:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:NW

I might be visiting relatives that weekend, but if I'm around I'll do some work on it. We can always delay the date on which it is delivered if neither of us are here.--Diniz(talk) 22:20, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

The dates have been confirmed: I'll be away from Sunday to Wednesday, so I won't be able to update the race information. I will be able update the newsletter for qualifying, though.--Diniz(talk) 18:24, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, this will (probably) be my final edit until I get back. I guess you should be back before me, and if not, then I'll update the newsletter when I get back.--Diniz(talk) 22:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

Yes,I would like to be adopted.XD--Fireaxe888 (talk) 07:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

I actually prefer not to be adopted,sorry about the trouble. I'm just not ready at this time.--Fireaxe888 (talk) 15:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC) Please,I just can't right now.I may be back when I can--Fireaxe888 (talk) 15:10, 17 July 2008 (UTC) If you're so anxious,her it is.

Even in the face of vandalism from a bunch of adolescents, you still find the time to leave a welcome note. You've suddenly become my favorite user. :) Thanks for inadvertently cheering me up. New page patrolling can be depressing.--PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, buddy! And thanks for editing my userpage, too.

But...why were the spaces needed? I have IE 7, and it looked fine to me before. --^LaPianista! 03:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

By the way, did you know about wp:qui? My adoptee told me about it, and so far, it works pretty well. --^LaPianista! 00:43, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Copyright

Actually, yeah, I did nick the idea for your classroom, but I figured that since you nicked my "hay-colored pin in haystack" phrase, I guess we're even. ;-) But the sig making was just an outlet for my wiki-creativity.

My main concern about the page is whether or not it's too girly...is it? --LaPianista! ^«talk» 18:08, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I've set two assignments; one for Happysunshine and the other for Valce1. I've assigned Sunshine to participate in one peer review and Valce1 to revert some vandalism.

I wasn't adopted either, though a few editors from the start helped me out.

About the userpage...haha, it seems Tory likes it the way it is, so I'll be neutral. I guess by girly I meant too girly so as people won't take me seriously... but maybe they don't anyways. ;-)

Oh, and please do me the dignity of being the first to vandalize the vandal page. --LaPianista! ^«talk» 04:16, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Adoption (Diti)

I would like to adopt you. Chubbennaitor 18:41, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I'd accept your adoption with no problems, if you know licensing well enough! Diti (talk to the penguin) 19:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Please explain what licensing you're on about. Chubbennaitor 20:18, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, I was talking about uploading copyrighted pictures, I don't know Fair Use at all. Diti (talk to the penguin) 21:23, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Ah now the fair use images are images uploaded but the uploader doesn't want to reveal them publicly. Chubbennaitor 18:02, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I eventually asked Diligent Terrier to adopt me because of, between others, his knowledge of MediaWiki's ParserFunctions. Thank you for your attention, and good luck. Diti (talk to the penguin) 11:17, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi! :) Been a while since we talked... anyway, I changed my username! Its not Chibi-anime-Girl anymore, its now Amulet Heart, to match my signature name. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 18:36, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:WikiProject

You can follow this link to add your name as a member of the WikiProject. I'm not really interested in joining such a general project, as I almost exclusively edit motorsport articles and any copyediting I do in this field is already covered by WP:F1 and WP:MOTOR. You may also be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors, although it now seems to be inactive.--Diniz(talk) 13:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: only etcetera

Simply go to the user's page (the page of the user you would like to watch) and click on the little dot on the corner of your screen (best if you are under the monobook format, dunno if it will work on modern skin). For example, go to the page of moi, click on the dot, and select "Add La Pianista to QUIfriends." That should work. --LaPianista! ^«talk» 20:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

By the way...HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA! --LaPianista! ^«talk» 02:48, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

The HAHA was in response to your rather eloquent comment here. No adoptees, eh? Bummer. Have you looked at the list of new Wikipedians waiting to be adopted?

By telling me you know how to work it, do you mean you already knew before I asked, or you mean I answered your question? —LaPianista! ^«talk» 03:55, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Sig.

Thanks I'm glad you like it! :) So will you not be on Wikipedia in that time? (By the way, I got your email) Amulet❤

A rude person apologies

Dear Chubbsome One

Many apologies for not having replied to your last greeting. Very remiss of me. I am doing very well, and thoroughly enjoying my time on Wikipedia. The thing what I have acheived most is helping this become this. I've used the links in your welcome pack many thousands of times; very helpful. I have sent one article to NfD, but lost, thoroughly!

Yours almost-instinct 21:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Great! One correction, though...it wasn't Amulet's idea. ;-) --LaPianista! ^«talk» 01:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month: Forti (current GA candidate) Forti Corse, commonly known as Forti, was an Italian motor racing team chiefly known for its brief, and unsuccessful, involvement in Formula One in the mid-1990s. It was established in the 1970s and competed in lower formulae for two decades, with some success. The team graduated to F1 as a constructor and entrant in 1995 and continued into 1996, before succumbing to financial problems mid-season. The team competed in a total of 27 Grands Prix, scoring no points, and is recognised as one of the last truly privateer teams to race in an era when many large car manufacturers were increasing their involvement in the sport.

Re:Hi

Thanks - it wasn't hard to complete the newsletter, as all I needed to do after I got back was to fill in the race results. I should tell you now that I'm going on holiday from August 30th to September 15th, so it looks like you'll be in a similar situation for the September newsletter!

Thanks as well for the birthday wishes - unfortunately the user who posted the message made a mistake, as it was my first edit day instead (my birthday's in September).--Diniz(talk) 19:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I hope you had a good holiday!--Diniz(talk) 19:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

A ferry all the way across the Atlantic? Wow! I'll be going across the Atlantic too for my holiday, but in a plane. I hope there isn't any turbulence! The newsletter was fine - it's quite low maintenance, as most of it is just filling in things to fill up the empty version that we begin with each month. I took the liberty of including Forti as the selected article because it is a current Good Article Nominee.--Diniz(talk) 18:40, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the greetings. I am new to the newsletter, and I would like to know if there is any specific role you would like me to take, or if there is any paticular order, or anything else I may need to know.

When you deliver the newsletter, it is preferable to transclude it (by posting {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Formula One/Newsletter/200809}}) rather than copy-pasting the whole thing, as it uses much less data and only adds a couple of hundred kb to the page instead of several thousand.--Diniz(talk) 12:59, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month - Max Mosley, recently relisted as a Good Article Max Rufus Mosley (born 13 April 1940) is president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), a non-profit association that represents the interests of motoring organisations and car users worldwide. The FIA is also the governing body for Formula One and other international motorsports. Mosley is a former barrister and amateur racing driver, and a founder and co-owner of March Engineering, a successful racing car constructor and Formula One racing team. He looked after legal and commercial issues for the company between 1969 and 1977. In the late 1970s, Mosley became the official legal adviser to the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA), the body which represents the Formula One teams. In this role he drew up the first version of the Concorde Agreement, which settled a dispute between FOCA and the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), the governing body of Formula One. Mosley was elected president of FISA in 1991 and became president of the FIA, FISA's parent body, in 1993. Mosley has identified his major achievement as FIA President as being the promotion of the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP or Encap), a European car safety performance assessment programme. He has also promoted increased safety and the use of green technologies in motor racing. In 2008, Mosley retained his position after stories about his sex life appeared in the British press. Mosley is the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, former leader of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), and Diana Mitford. He was educated in France, Germany and Britain before going on to attend university at Christ Church, Oxford where he graduated with a degree in physics. In his teens and early twenties Mosley was involved with his father's post-war party, the Union Movement (UM). He has said that the association of his surname with fascism stopped him from developing his interest in politics further, although he briefly worked for the Conservative Party in the early 1980s.

Mozilla

Hi, Chubb!

Have you tried downloading Mozilla Firefox? The displays on Wikipedia look much better through this browser, and you can use the "rounded" template, too.

By the way, did you get my first message above? I know it's difficult to find new messages when you get several at the same time. LaPianista! «talk» 19:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi again!

So here's the generic question: How are you? Right now, in the U.S., we're celebrating Labor Day - three-day weekend! LaPianista! «talk» 02:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Hello

I was in Reading attending a christening, but I am now back home in sunny sunny glorious Costa del Aberystwyth. Why are you asking? Cadan ap Tomos 21:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

You in High School too? and me! what year? Cadan ap Tomos 11:55, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm in year 10 (great...). Yes, sorry, I go to the newsletter to edit it then I find out that someone else has already done it! I will try more in the future. Maybe we could have a specific feature that I could do? Race reports, maybe? Cadan ap Tomos 18:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

How can you two not cope, apart from doing the results, there is hardly anything else to do! And whenever I go to edit something in, I find that one of you have already done it! And, for the record, I am much busier than you are. Year 10 is a pain... Cadan ap Tomos 14:37, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:37, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean? Just because one suggestion didn't get accepted doesn't mean you're not welcome there anymore. What we mainly need right now is comments on existing mottos anyway, so if you're not comfortable nominating something right off, that's ok. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Some interesting stuff...

Hi Chubby!

I've recently re-designed my userpage (again). Following a suggestion by User:Balloonman, and, of course, my gut, I decided to do away with the tiresome pinkness and all. I'm not a pink type of girl, anyways.

Also...I've been found to be royalty and am now proclaimed Queen of WikiNation! Check it out here. As a friend of the Queen, you are subject to a few...erm...privileges. Just name them! :) What do you think? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:24, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Class is great, but music is quite busy. What with theory tests, recitals, and lots of end-of-year piano festivals, I'm pooped!

By the way, I heard of some monstrous weather up there. How are things in Newcastle-u-Lyme? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 17:02, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Flickr photo

Hi Chubbennaitor. I've just found this freely-licensed photo of Felipe Massa at this year's Malaysian GP. I can't upload it because the internet connection at my hotel is too slow, but I thought you might like to. In addition, the photographer whose photos from the Canadian GP are used widely in Wikipedia told me that he was also going to the Belgian GP, so keep your eyes open for potential new photos on Flickr!--Diniz(talk) 01:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading it!--Diniz(talk) 05:29, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't be worried: we already have two other images from the same person, who also has a photo of the crowd and some photos of the air show during the race weekend.--Diniz(talk) 01:54, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Ummmm

Yeah...Ummmm..

Heh, we have got to stop doing that. ;)

Okay, my only problem with making the logo is that your sig uses the font "Geneva," which is only available on Macs. Shame on me, I have Windows. :(

Perhaps you could give me a substitute font? Maybe "Century Gothic," since that is what your old sig used? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:27, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and about the adoptee class. I can't get in touch with one of my adoptees, and the other doesn't seem interested in editing anymore. :( Same old story, yeah?

And the "queen" thing is just part of the WP:Department of Fun. It's pretty much just role-playing for the fun of it. Right now, the king and I are trying to figure out what to do next with the WikiNation. :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:33, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Ummm, could you read the entire page on the Wikination (link above)? I became Queen approximately six days ago, after I posted a joke on the page when the King, Editor510, asked about what should be done next. I pretty much won the Queendom single-handedly, since no one else stepped up for it, hehe.

Right now, to contribute to the Wikination, just post something witty (like the comments you put on my page).

If you like, I can post a formal declaration of your status. Just tell me what you would like to be called (perhaps Sir Chubb the Honourable or something like that). Heh, check out my British spelling...I read too much of Dickens...

As to the logo, as I said before, it's impossible for me to make one that matches your sig (See how my logo matches with mine)? Since your sig's font is not installed in my computer. That, also, is why I asked if "Century Gothic font," like your old sig, would fit well enough.

And by the "adoptee" class, do you mean the "admin coaching"? That's something I'm going through before running for adminship in a few days, since I don't feel quite ready yet. My coacher is User:Balloonman. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 22:47, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Two Chairs, eh? Meh, thanks but no thanks. :) I'm pretty busy on the wiki and real life anyways, so I might not want to take up anyting else at the mo.

And about the adoptee class - well, I've just asked them both individually what they would like to learn, since I'm clean out of new ideas. Valce1 wanted to learn wikimarkup, but I haven't heard from him since. I've asked Happysunshine what she would like, but she hasn't returned my messages either. :( —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:43, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Chubby, ol' buddy ol' pal! I just got back from the trip - beautiful view at Yellowstone National Park. Anyhow, now that I have the time, I'll get to making your logo directly! :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:52, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Hai there Chubbennaitor, seeing as you are as big an F1 fan as myself, I though I might direct your attention to a F1 forum which you may like. It's the BBC 606 one, and I find it's Formula One section a great place to chat about the sport. So lang as you don't anger the Hamilton Youth. Anyway, here is the link if you are interested. [1] If you already know about it, ah well. Sorry for wasting your time. My own account there is Ayrton_Prost, if you wanted to know. Regards, A Prodigy ^{Sign Here}/_Contact 14:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Ah well, no problem. A Prodigy ^{Sign Here}/_Contact 15:47, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Tada!

I have three logos for you to choose from, each with different fonts (pick one, and I'll delete the other two).

• Here's one with the font "Times New Roman."
  Here's one with the font "Times New Roman."
• 
  Here's the closest font that matches Geneva - "Arial."
• Here's one that's a little different, with font "Maiandra GD."
  Here's one that's a little different, with font "Maiandra GD."

So...how does it look? Really cheesy smile. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Aw, that's too sweet! But don't you think that's a little too much credit to give to someone over the Internet...?

"Nicest person I've ever known..." I should hang that on a wall somewhere, I think. But I'm really flattered, thanks muchly for the compliments!

La Pianista ^(T•C•S) has hugged you! Hugs promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better (and hopefully wasn't meant as an invasion of personal space). Spread the WikiLove by hugging at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Hug others by adding {{subst:Hug}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

The hug's for variety - so far, I think I've given you a cake, cookie, smile, secret page barnstar, guestbook barnstar, thank-you letter, and media of some guy playing the Minute Waltz of Chopin, if I'm not wrong. Your userspace must be filled with awards from me, eh? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

So then, how is your adoptee class coming along? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:15, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and have a look at this tool. Your page was viewed 488 times last month! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:20, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

User stats

Well, I revert vandalism very often, and so vandals are bound to want to know who undid their edits. This sometimes comes at a price, however - my userpage, talk, and subpages have been vandalized 21 times. Yeesh!

Actually the tool doesn't show who viewed it, which is a bummer. And I've found that way more people have found my secret page than signed, which is a further bummer.

And about my adoptees - they're actually getting along great. Happysunshine should be back any minute, and Valce1 is only busy with his college. It should be getting up to speed soon...

How are your adoptees? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 15:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the two chairs re-invite, but I'm pretty sure I'm already occupied with this wiki. Thanks for asking again, though. :)

Oh, and have a look at the top of your page. It can't hurt to be loved twice, right? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:24, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Well whenever you start feeling lonely, ask me any weird question on my page. I promise, if nothing goes wrong, I'll reply to you at least before the next day with an equally weird answer. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Chamal ^Talk ± 15:33, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey there! :)

QUI tells me you're busy, so if I'm not mistaken, I'd expect an answer in a few mins...

So I've been up for editor review, but no one has reviewed me for three days. I'm not asking you to review me, since I know, as my friend, you'd be biased (even if you tried not to be). :D

I remember that a while back you were on editor review. I'm curious how it went. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:54, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you can put a little note on your secret page, like I did to mine. (Wait a minute - you'll have to re-find it first.) Hehe, I moved it. :P —La Pianista ^{(T•C•S•R)} 20:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, I guess that comes with being a very popular user. (blush again...I'm not gonna put that hideous thing here one more time)

I suppose you've found it right? How did you find it, may I ask? (Wait, don't post that here. Put it on the talk page of the secret page.) ;) —La Pianista ^{(T•C•S•R)} 03:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Ooo. Well, keep trying. :)

In a different subject, do you know what's happening in the States? In Texas, specifically? We've got the State Fair in full swing! With 100% Texan funnel cakes, deep-fried jellybeans (no joke), and chicken-fried bacon (also no joke). All the unhealthy foods in the world, brought together in one little spot where thousands of people gather - for pie-, jalapeno-, and hot dog-eating contests. —La Pianista ^{(T•C•S•R)} 20:28, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Well the states are okay, of course, apart from the financial crisis. I suppose you've heard of the 700 billion-dollar bailout? That's enough to give 2,000 dollars to every American man, woman, and child. :O

Aside from that, though, we're doing all right. But you know, it's amazing that so far, I've talked with a Briton and an Aussie who both know the insides of our government, and yet half of our nation doesn't know the PM of the UK.

And running away? Hope you're joking; you'd lose a reliable Internet connection. ;) —La Pianista ^{(T•C•S•R)} 23:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month - 1995 Pacific Grand Prix, new Featured Article The 1995 Pacific Grand Prix (formally the II Pacific Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 22, 1995 at the TI Circuit, Aida, Japan. It was the 15th race of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 83 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team after starting from third position. David Coulthard, who started the Grand Prix from pole position, finished second in a Williams car, with Damon Hill third in the other Williams. Schumacher's win confirmed him as 1995 Drivers' Champion as Hill could not pass Schumacher's points total with only two races remaining. Hill started the race alongside Coulthard on the front row, amidst pressure from the British media for not being "forceful" enough in battles. Schumacher attempted to drive around the outside of Hill at the first corner, but Hill held Schumacher off as Jean Alesi, driving for Ferrari got past both on the inside line to take second position. As a result, Hill dropped down to third and Schumacher dropped down to fifth behind Gerhard Berger. Schumacher managed to get past Alesi and Hill during the first of three pit stops. This allowed him, on a new set of slick tyres, to close on Coulthard who was on a two-stop strategy. Schumacher opened up a gap of 21 seconds by lapping two seconds faster per lap than Coulthard, so that when his third stop came, he still led the race. (More...)

Hi, Chubby. Don't flip out; I've got one of these, too. Can't make much sense out of it, though, seeing as we're pretty active contributors.

Oh, and I'm adopting again. Any newcomers you need off your hands? :) —La Pianista ^{(T•C•S•R)} 02:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Riddle answers(?)

OK, here are my final answers to your riddles, hope they're right:

• First one, the answer is the three people are a boy, his dad, and grandfather.
• The man looking at a portrait was in fact looking at himself (?).

I'm not too sure about the answers to the other two, will contact you if I ever manage to work them out. Cheers, Blooded Edge (talk) 22:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Riddle questions (ha ha)

Great news, Chubb...I've finally found my riddle book. Here are some for you (but I'll probably be leaving at about 18:00 UTC, so if you get on the wiki after then, I won't be back until after 22:00 UTC)

1. When you see geese flying in a V formation, why is it that one leg of the V is always longer than the other?
   1. Correct.
2. Approximately how many house bricks does it take to complete a brick house in Russia?
   1. Keep trying.
3. What cheese is made backward?
   1. Almost!
4. How do you stop a bull from charging?
   1. Nope.
5. A man rode down the street on a horse, yet walked. How come?
   1. Think harder. :)
6. Why was King Henry VIII buried in Westminster Abbey?
   1. Not quite.
7. In China, they hang many criminals, but they will not hang a man with a wooden leg. Why?
   1. Far off!

I think that's enough for now. Forgive me if I've repeated some from last time...I've already forgotten what they were. :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 16:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I've answered above. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 17:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

All right, I suppose that's enough time to ruminate. :D

Here are the answers:

1. Approximately how many house bricks does it take to complete a brick house in Russia?
   1. One - only one brick is used to "complete it," though many bricks are used to "build it." :D
2. What cheese is made backward?
   1. Edam => madE.
3. How do you stop a bull from charging?
   1. Take away his credit card.
4. A man rode down the street on a horse, yet walked. How come?
   1. The horse's name is Yet.
5. Why was King Henry VIII buried in Westminster Abbey?
   1. Because he was dead.
6. In China, they hang many criminals, but they will not hang a man with a wooden leg. Why?
   1. Because it's more conventional to use a rope.

D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that's true. :D But, then, if we're so picky about grammar, your title on my page should be "Grammar," correct? ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 17:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

You spelt "Grammer". —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 18:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Really? I'm quite positive it's "Grammar" with an "a." Unless that's a British thing...we spell "jail" here instead of "gaol." :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 18:58, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's new on me, too. :D I thought I read somewhere that it was true... Must be a different dialect.

But you call an "apartment" a "flat", "crackers" are called "biscuits," "candies" are "sweets", "truck" is "lorry," and "gasoline" is "petrol," right? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:02, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Just to say Hi

On BS page Chubbennaitor 10:03, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry

I'd love to edit for the newsletter, however, I don't think that I would be able to. The only reason why I am able to edit regularly is because I am on half term at the moment at school. When this ends, I will be back to my normal ~30 edits per month. Sorry to disappoint you. I can see how your short on people and all, but since I am in the middle of GCSE's, there is really nothing I can do. Ste900R (talk) 16:47, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't think that I can. Next year I will, but I can't at the moment. Ste900R (talk) 17:05, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Your doing a good job at the moment, but my line of work isn't to do with newsletters unfortunately. But if I can, I will pop in and check on it occasionally, but that is not for definate. Ste900R (talk) 17:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to be deleted! :O

Hi, Chubb! Long time no chat. How are you?

Anyhow, some guy recently nom'ed me for deletion (see here), just because I nom'ed him for deletion. :D

Your thoughts are happily invited. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Belgian Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate The 2008 Belgian Grand Prix (formally the LXIV ING Belgian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on September 7, 2008, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa, Belgium. It was the 13th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 44 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team, after the initial winner, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, was penalised for cutting a chicane and gaining an advantage over Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen. Hamilton started from pole position alongside title rival Massa. Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen started from third next to the 2007 winner Kimi Räikkönen. Following a spin by Hamilton on the second lap, Räikkönen led the race, until rain fell on lap 41 and Hamilton performed the penalised pass. Räikkönen crashed in the following lap as rain started raining heavily. Massa finished second on the road after Hamilton, followed by Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber. Hamilton received a drive-through penalty, which demoted him to third place and advanced Massa and Heidfeld to first and second positions. McLaren appealed the decision at the FIA International Court of Appeal. Their case, however, was judged inadmissible, with the Court ruling that drive-through penalties cannot be challenged. The penalty created a large amount of criticism from the global press, mainly from the United Kingdom and Italy, with several former drivers questioning the decision. Massa's retrospective win, with Hamilton demoted to third, narrowed the gap in the Championship from six points to just two. (More...)

2009 Winter Testing

McLaren used an interim car, named the MP-4/23K (named after the KERS system) equipped with a fully-functional KERS system. And I repeat, it's Renault who used a 2008-only car, albeit with slicks. MetzMaboo (talk) 18:25, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

As I've said in the talk-page, this link of Wednesday quotes states "An R28 set up to simulate 2009 downforce", and the chassis-code below is that of a regular R28. "Set up to simulate" is exactly what Red Bull and Toro Rosso did, and most teams since last season's first test with slicks... Also, the McLaren with KERS was called an interim car by them - even earning a new designation..

With all that thing about citations - where's an interview, statement or article stating the Renault was an interim car? The McLaren may only be a KERS test-bed, but if they themselves called it an interim "MP4/23K", it's reasonable for us to call it an interim car... Plus, KERS isn't found on the 2008 MP4/23 - should that feature alone make it an interim car?

Thanks!

Article of the month - 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, current Good Article candidate. The 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix (formally the XXXVII Grande Prêmio Santander do Brasil) was a Formula One motor race held on November 2 2008, at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, Interlagos, in São Paulo, Brazil. It was the 18th and final race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 71 laps, was won by Felipe Massa after starting from pole position. Fernando Alonso finished second in a Renault, and Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. Before the race, Drivers' Championship leader Lewis Hamilton had received heated criticism in the British press for his aggressive driving style at the Japanese Grand Prix three weeks previously. There, Hamilton's late braking at the first corner sent Räikkönen off the road and saw the McLaren driver relegated to the back of the field after a penalty. Massa started the race alongside Toyota driver Jarno Trulli. Massa's Ferrari team-mate Räikkönen began from third next to Hamilton. Rain fell minutes before the race, delaying the start, and as the track dried Massa established a lead of several seconds. More rain in the closing laps did not prevent Hamilton from finishing the race in fifth position, securing him the points needed to take the Championship. (More...)

Article of the month - Damon Hill, kept at Featured Article status after review. Damon Graham Devereux Hill OBE (born 17 September 1960) is a retired British racing driver from England. In 1996 Hill won the Formula One World Championship; as the son of the late Graham Hill, he is the only son of a world champion to win the title. His father died in a plane crash when Hill was 15, leaving the family in reduced circumstances and Hill came to professional motorsports at the relatively late age of 23 by racing motorcycles. After some minor success, he moved on to single-seater racing cars, and progressed steadily up the ranks to the International Formula 3000 championship by 1989, where although often competitive he never won a race. Hill became a test driver for the Formula One title-winning Williams team in 1992. He was unexpectedly promoted to the Williams race team the following year after 1992 champion Nigel Mansell's departure and took the first of his 22 victories at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix. During the mid 1990s, Hill was Michael Schumacher's main rival for the Formula One Driver's Championship. The two clashed on and off the track; their collision at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix gave Schumacher his first title by a single point. Hill won the 1996 World Drivers' Championship, but was dropped by Williams for the following season. He went on to drive for the less competitive Arrows and Jordan teams, and in 1998 gave Jordan its first win. Hill retired from racing after the 1999 season. He has since launched several businesses as well as making appearances playing the guitar with celebrity bands. In 2006, he became president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, succeeding Jackie Stewart. (More...)

Hey, i noticed that the green link on your signature who links to U:CH/GB was deleted. The old signature was a lot better, linking to your guest-book. pedrojoão 12:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
