World's Smallest Political Quiz userbox

You may be interested in User:Audacity/Userboxes/WSPQ, which is a replacement for the old Political Chart userbox. The new userbox takes the two variables (economic and personal freedom), calculates which political alignment they place you into (Statist, Libertarian, Liberal, Centrist, or Conservative), and links your userpage to the appropriate category.

Please reply to User talk:Audacity, as I will not be watching your talk page. Λυδαcιτγ 07:40, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Busy Day

What a busy day you've had! I really think you should get some gold braid around your user page...  :-) I see you're intending to shorten your name too.

Anyway, apologies for not replying sooner, but I have been rather plagued by poor health of late. It has kept me from Wikipedia, and many other places too. Nonetheless, thanks for your notes 'Pedantry' and 'Further Pedantry'.

Concerning the former, I am prepared to go as far as acknowledging that this is a legitimate debate! However, with a historical hat on, I am still searching for any justification for the 'No IV' affectation - it appears to be a very modern development. Having grown tired of "dipping into" Oxford, I am currently reading it right through, cover to cover, but every reference that I can see, both in Oxford himself, and in the texts he quotes, renders the lodge number as "No 4" [or historically "No 2" etc, as appropriate]. The same is true of my copy of the by-laws - not a roman numeral in sight! However, there is another aspect to all of this. British Lodge does appear to have used roman numerals for a very long time, indeed the style "No VIII" is incorporated into their lodge badge. I fear that by adopting the style of a very much more junior lodge, No 4 may be demeaning itself. Ah well, after all that, you're the boss - I'll get around to changing it sometime.

The other matter is, I feel sure, much more clear cut. Nobody could imagine that "(London)" in this context implied membership of the Metropolitan Area's masonic jurisdiction, because the next lodge in the list (357) is followed by "(Oxford)" and the next one after that (388) by "(Halesworth, Suffolk)", thus making it clear that the name in parentheses refers to the meeting place of the lodge. If it were an indication of the local masonic jurisdiction, then these two would be "(Oxfordshire)" and "(Suffolk)", and indeed the first named lodge would be "(Unattached)".

Don't stay up all night. Timothy Titus 22:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if you will be editing today? In fact, I wonder if you will even visit Wikipedia today? Looking forward to seeing you later. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 03:33, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Welcome Back

Thank you! It is indeed good to be alive again. I shall be dropping you an email within the next 24 hours, concerning various matters... Timothy Titus Talk To TT 21:44, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors roll call
Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there.
The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.
