I have removed this comment for violation of WP:BITE and WP:NPA. I believe you provided some valid information, and I encourage you to reformulate your comment in accordance with our guidelines and resubmit it. If you feel you are unable to do so, please do not respond to the question again. Thank you. – 74  14:45, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I was definitely being snarky, but in a good-humored sort of way. Re-reading that comment, it doesn't necessarily come across that way. Thanks for calling me on it. Strike 87 for late-night bleary-eyed Wikipedia editing. --Fullobeans (talk)

Thank you for not taking the removal personally. – 74  22:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Of course! I'd have done the same. If your week is lacking drama, though, I could always feign indignation and say lots of horrible things about your mother. --Fullobeans (talk) 19:39, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps it's a statement on Wikipedia that I feel the urge to thank people for not overreacting. My expectations are, of course, no reflection on yourself. And I am hypothetically quite mad regarding your hypothetical statements about my mother. (I might even hypothetically threaten a (completely unreasonable) block at this point.)   ;-)   – 74  23:48, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

My last edit was true i just got carried away on the horndog thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.145.167.50 (talk) 23:07, 6 March 2009

Really? They left that part out of the movies. I'm not sure what this has to do with me, but if you vandalize Wikipedia again you'll be blocked. --Fullobeans (talk) 19:39, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Pisco Sour

Please review translations in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisco_Sour. Thanks in advance --Achata (talk) 13:58, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on the Pisco Sour article! The translations are really helpful, since we can't assume that most editors read Spanish. I'm about to mess up your careful edits, though, and here's how and why:

• I'm going to move your translations to the talk page, because it's not generally necessary to quote sources in the article when they can be summarized more briefly, especially since long quotes can be a copyright violation.
• I'm going to change the summary of the sources so that it draws fewer conclusions about the sources. The article, right now, basically says, "Elliot Stubbs created the whisky sour, which was documented in newspapers at the time and again reported in the 1960s. In 1985, the story was then changed to say that Stubbs created the pisco sour, not the whisky sour." That contains some original research, since none of our sources say anything about the 1985 story being incorrect. We don't know what the original newspaper said; we only know what these later sources said. Both the '60s sources and the '85 source claim to be referencing the same newspaper. Maybe the '60s sources are wrong, and maybe the '85 source is wrong. Maybe the newspaper said that Stubbs invented the pisco sour and the whisky sour, or maybe it says he invented sours in general (Note that the sours article says the drink existed as early as 1862, and does not mention Stubbs). We don't know which source is right, because we haven't seen the newspaper, and have only a limited number of sources. The best we can do is report what the sources say, without offering our opinion about which one is correct. If a more conclusive source turns up, though, or if someone gets a hold of the original newspaper article, then we should change the text accordingly.

Those are the only changes I'm making for now; feel free to continue discussing them, here or at Talk:Pisco Sour. --Fullobeans (talk) 23:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Why?

Dear Fullobeans, I am an user of the Italian Wikipedia. A few days ago, I wrote a message in the Help Desk. Today, you (or a bot for you) have sended to me a new talk page. Why? I have never wanted an english user! I don't know...now I am an english wikipedian? I can't speak english very well, so I don't want write in english. What can I do? I have to send a message to an administrator asking him to delete my talk? I'm so confused! May you help me? If you will want to give me an answer, write it in my new talk page, so it will be useful for something!--Domyinik (talk) 21:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Thank you for attention

Thank you

Thank you for your kind answer. Now I have finally undestood. If I will need it, I will use my english talk page. By the way, everyone can write in english whit a vocabulary! Ihihihih --Domyinik (talk) 20:31, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Quincy

Hey, I wanted to let you know that I'm creating an article on the Quincy family. I saw that you'd made some related edits and wanted to let you know. I guess this is a more personal way of tagging something "inuse" although I guess it isn't even in use if it doesn't exist yet, haha. I'll let you know as soon as I've saved if you'd like to help me check for missing links and such afterward. Cheers! --Aepoutre (talk) 15:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, great! I was looking woefully at all those Quincy family redlinks last night, and thinking I should really do something about it. If you're taking care of the family article, I'll do my part and start a bio for an Edmund. And of course I'm happy to lend a hand wherever it's needed. --Fullobeans (talk) 21:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Excellent! This shall be a fun collaboration. I've also compiled a lot of research for the history of Quincy/Mount Wollaston but haven't gotten around to adding or creating anything yet. You can find the Quincy family at Quincy political family. I based some of it on Adams political family so feel free to amend some statements. I also tried to add as many accurate wikilinks as possible and left a few red for creation, but removed a few I felt should be created just because they linked to articles about different individuals and I didn't want to strictly dictate the new disambiguous name. --Aepoutre (talk) 14:43, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

And here you go, Edmund #1: Edmund Quincy (1602-1636). I'll try to do at least one bio a week until I get sick of it or run out of notables. I'll stick with just the Edmunds for now so I don't accidentally step on your toes; if you'd like to claim a particular Edmund, just let me know. Great work on the family article; that's an impressive lineage. I made a few minor changes in the lede which should be self-explanatory and unobjectionable (I hope). --Fullobeans (talk) 11:28, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Very well done, with Edmund and the Quincy family as a whole. I made a couple of tweaks to both, too, just adding in bits and pieces, &c. Yes, my editing has been somewhat hodge-podge lately, but I'll give you a heads-up if I take on a particular article, and let you know when I've finished, as well. --Aepoutre (talk) 14:40, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I don't expect to keep my own productivity up for long, but for now I'm on a roll. At first it looked like Edmund #4 would only get the tiniest of stubs, but Google Books really came through on this one. --Fullobeans (talk) 15:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Australian Cattle Dog

Thanks for the - belated - welcome, I first edited Wikipedia a year ago. Of course I'm happy to have you or anyone else edit what I contribute, that's what a wiki is all about. I did not add the popular culture section and I'd be content to have this section deleted, but feel if it is going to be there it should not be USA-centric. I've been following the guidelines from WikiProjectDogs which not only say to include a trivia section, but suggest that the section include high profile celebrities that own the breed. Strictly speaking your edit is factually incorrect as in each film the dog was a companion to the character - not to the actor. However my main concern is that where there is scientific research published on the breed, that this article reflect that research, not opinions and myths. Mdk572 (talk) 18:27, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I glanced at your contributions, saw a slew of December dates, and failed to check the year. Better late than never? I've made a small change to the wording of the pop culture section which should (hopefully; I'm tired) address the very true point made above. As to the celebrity owners list, sorry about that, I didn't realize WPDogs was in favor of having one. I'll keep my grubby little mitts off it. Cheers to science, sourcing, and non-US-centrism; good to have you around. - Fullobeans (talk) 10:11, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks for your help with the page - previous contributors seem to have lost interest. Marj (talk) 17:53, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Aclestis

Because I'm an idiot I can't figure out how to correct a redirected page that is prohibiting my article from being published. If a user searches "TXRD" they are redirected to the entry for "roller derby". This is prohibiting me from publishing my entry "TXRD". Do you have any advice? Thanks. Aclestis (talk) 20:54, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Why yes I do, and you're certainly not an idiot. The easiest way to create a page over a redirect is to first get redirected. When you search for "TXRD" and get redirected to roller derby, you'll notice a little message underneath the article's title which says "(Redirected from TXRD)"; note that "TXRD", in that message, is a link. If you click on it, you'll be brought to the page for the redirect itself, which you can also access through this handy link. Once there, delete the text which says #REDIRECT[[Roller derby]] and stick the text of your article there instead. For more on redirects, check out Wikipedia:Redirect. - Fullobeans (talk) 21:50, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

hello how do i sign my name (Dr hursday (talk) 05:16, 5 February 2010 (UTC))? is that correct? also sorry if this is the wrong place to ask you this i got a message at the top and clicked on it and it told me to ask question on this page thank you (Dr hursday (talk) 05:16, 5 February 2010 (UTC))

Yes, you've got it right. You don't need the () though; it's just ~~~~, not (~~~~). If you want to play around with editing, signing, etc, head over to Wikipedia:Sandbox. It's a page you can play around on and practice your wiki markup. - Fullobeans (talk) 01:26, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Weltschmerz edit

Hello Fullobeans I appreciate what you do for this site, and are glad that your conscience of many of the important issues that you talk about on your page, but I just wanted to say that my edit on the weltschmerz page was not for promotional purposes. I have artistic ideas that I convey in my art/music, and thought that it was reasonable for me to add myself to that article. There was another band there that had done the same thing. So that's the only reason i'm actually responding to your message. They have a song title called "Weltschmer" just like me, so I don't see the difference between us. Just thought i'd let you know my perspective on the matter.

The subtle poet (talk) 11:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I certainly wasn't accusing you of being unreasonable or of maliciously spamming, and for what it's worth I like your music and appreciate the literate nature of your work. But if you'll allow me to blather about Wikipedia policy for a minute: as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia has some pretty fundamental rules regarding what it should and should include. Three of the big ones are notability, verifiability, and reliable sources. The super-condensed summary is: if a statement meets Wikipedia's notability requirements, then it can usually be verified through a reliable source, such as a book, newspaper, or third-party website. I did a Google search to see if you'd received any media coverage, and I couldn't find anything, so I determined that your work is not yet notable by Wikipedia's standards (myspace and other networking sites almost never qualify as reliable sources). The other band mentioned in the Weltschmerz article does appear to have received some media coverage, but even so, I'm not sure that it warrants mention in that particular article; "in popular culture" sections aren't always beneficial to the articles they're found in, and I wouldn't be surprised if another editor deletes that one altogether. I hope that all makes sense, and I hope you don't feel like I'm picking on you. Since you've got this shiny new Wikipedia account, I'd encourage you to stick around and edit articles which interest you, and if/when you meet the notability guidelines for musicians, let me know if you'd like to be the subject of an article (you shouldn't write articles about yourself due to conflict of interest. Good luck! - Fullobeans (talk) 00:37, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, It's me again, thanks for clearing that up. It makes sense that I should have some media coverage before I'm allowed to get into the Wikipedia. I didn't Google search that other band, but should have before I wrote to you.

Also, thank you for liking my music, I appreciate it and will certainly take you up on your offer to start up my page if/when its right to do so. All the best, The subtle poet (talk) 05:44, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of vegans

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of vegans. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of vegans. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Western Maryland Railway

Hi. You excluded Talk:Western Maryland Railway from the Baltimore Task Force, stating "not located in Baltimore city." The WM operated in Baltimore City from 1873 until its dissolution a century later; see the History section of the article. Or is there some other criteria for inclusion in the Baltimore Task Force? Caseyjonz (talk) 01:57, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

I believe you've confused me with someone else, as I did no such thing! I haven't even done any editing lately. Looking further into it: the editor you're looking for is apparently User:Folklore1, according to [1]. You might also want to raise the issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maryland/Baltimore, though that page doesn't seem to be a hub of activity lately. Good luck! --Fullobeans (talk) 05:00, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I reposted my query at Folklore1. Caseyjonz (talk) 02:56, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

		For your much appreciated edits to Yank Adams, I giveth unto you this small furious prosimian as a token of my thanks!--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:51, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

The edits look great (I haven't had a chance to look at them in depth). I know it's loaded with large blockquotes, but at least the typical problem with that is not seen here because they are all public domain sources and it was pretty threadbare without them. I noted two removals I may add back, though most of your cuts look very good. Thanks again, and feel free to stop by my talk page for any reason, anytime.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:51, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

I actually like the quotes, I just feel like I'm supposed to be uncomfortable with them for some reason. Curious. I'd vote to keep at least one in there. Meanwhile, check around for the deleted info, because I may have just moved to a drastically different spot in the article. Apologies if I did remove some stuff; it wasn't my intention. And thank you for that angry, angry, angry, angry tarsier. --Fullobeans (talk) 19:59, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
