form letter page[edit]

Oops. I misrememberd the page title. That should be Wikipedia:Boilerplate request for permission. Sorry. DES (talk) 22:35, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

I've just been reading about your attempts to find suitable rattlesnake images on the Help desk =:-) I think you will find that many people are happy to release their photographs. I've used a modified version of the boilerplate text many times with success. If that doesn't work, make sure you wear sturdy boots when chasing rattlers in the desert, and don't harm any cacti while you are out there. Good luck. --Cactus.man ^>Reply 06:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Link repair: diurnal[edit]

Thanks for for contribution to WP:DPL, it is much appreciated! I was thinking about expanding Diurnal into an article (about daily occurences). How many links were there (in the 50 or so you went through) that would benefit from an article? --Commander Keane 04:25, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I focused on articles about diurnal animals, redirecting them to diurnal animal. All 50 of them would benefit greatly from a diurnal animal article. I toyed around with the idea and did some reading -- turns out to be an interesting (fascinating) but complicated subject. When you're awake impacts your eyes, obviously, but in ways I didn't think of, for example how color is perceived or whether it is perceived at all. If you decide to proceed with diurnal alone or as it pertains to animals or meterology, let me know if I can do anything to help.

I imagine with those 50 references, a full (or at least the making of one) article at Diurnal aninal would be good (this is where the eye info would go, yes?). I was thinking about putting phenomena like diurnal rivers and the dirunal nature of geomagnetism at Diurnal, but maybe Diurnal should remain a disambiguation page, with the river/magnetism info going into something like Dirunal (???). I can't think of anything appropriate for the "???" at the moment, can you help me out with that.--Commander Keane 17:05, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bad_carpet from the earth 2025 game?[edit]

Are you the Earth 2025 player named bad_carpet? -- Beltz 22:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! And I remember you, too, although I don't recall how to spell the entire name "Beltz" is short for. I hosted an old-school ICQ group server for you years ago, I think. --Bad carpet 23:44, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I recall seeing a wikipedia thread on AT by you not long ago. My full nick is Beltshumeltz but im prettier as Empress Althena or PRINCESS FLUFF! I remember you from AT especially, that icq server, and I think you were in Horizon too. I found you on this site because you edited the Limnic Eruption article that I started a few months ago. Do you still play Earth? I stopped last year. -- Beltz 03:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, I remember Althena. Good to see you again. Did read about Limnic Eruption and make a small change. Small world!! Not only a good article but interesting subject, never heard of such of a thing before ending up at your article through the main page somehow. --Bad carpet 04:38, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WHOA! I saw your name on an article, and figuring that there can't be too many "Bad carpet"s out there, I thought this was the one I knew. Guess I was right. DeFault from Earth, here. Just in case you ever check this page again. Seems to have been a couple years since it was edited. Anyway, hope you're doing well. Later. DeFaultRyan (talk) 02:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reporting the article. I've been introducing Wikipedia to the rest of my household and did not make the rules entirely clear. --Bad carpet 22:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
