You still in? I might have gotten User:Synergy to help us. ShockingHawk 22:18, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm a little busy cranking out stubs. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 22:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Victory is a stub, the smallest ARTICle on wikipedia. ShockingHawk 22:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

<---Uh, I know that. I am creating new articles. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 22:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

OH. Guess your not in the project. ShockingHawk 22:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean? Don't be mad at me for not helping out on 1 article out of thousands. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 22:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Not my point. I mean you must be too busy to help with the project right now. ShockingHawk 22:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

anyway, it's not my area of expertise. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 22:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

And i understand you have aspergers, I'm not being mean. You should at least be able to maintain a minimum amount of self control, nothing against you :-) Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 22:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Not mine either but I don't want it to be a stub forever. ShockingHawk 22:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

<--There's nothing wrong with stubs, I've made dozens. And it won't be forever, the universe won't end for another few million years :P Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 22:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

WHAT? ShockingHawk 22:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Relax man. It doesn't matter B-) Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 22:33, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok then. Can you make it simplier for me. I don't understand all the big words. Ric ^{is ShockingHawk} 20:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Make what simpler? The link you gave me is a redlink. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 20:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh. Ric ^{is ShockingHawk} 20:47, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Project Heavy Meta;

To all members of simple wiki project Heavy metal, The project is now pretty much up and running. We have a proper page, a list of goals, a list of articles to be created and various other extras. So theres plenty of stuff to do... Soon I hope to get more members and get this project to be the first to move into the mainspace on this wiki. Fingers crossed. FSM Noodly?

sorry for being a screwup. Ric ^{is ShockingHawk} 14:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

You screwed up. You are not a screwup. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's best not to overreact. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 14:16, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

What's the diffrence? Ric ^{is ShockingHawk} 14:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

If you screw up, you make a mistake. A screwup is someone who is incapable of not making mistakes. Has every single edit you've done here been a mistake? Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 14:25, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

no. Ric ^{is ShockingHawk} 14:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 14:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Shappy/Archive 2 thank you for supporting my recent RfA which closed as successful. I very much appreciate your support and I will do my best for the community in my new administrator role. Thanks again, FSM Noodly?

Mentoring

Do you really think that this is necessary, positive, or somehow helpful? I am confused about it. The task helped to jog my memory, as I did think about writing an apology to the community, but it seems somewhat like a virtual en:confessional, only open for all to see, and I am not really comfortable with this practice. I don't see why it is being done, and setting a word count is quite awkward. Is this something that you agree to? Jonas D. Rand ^T 19:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the need of a word count, but from what I hear you've pissed off a lot of people, and an apology would be prudent. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 20:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Shapiros10: I have, and I will. Jonas D. Rand ^T 20:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

electronic cigarette

hi shapiros, the reason i am posting to electronic cigarette is because i have recently had the page undeleted. it had been deleted because some users thought it was an NRT so they ported the information on electronic cigarettes to that page. perhaps after this you set up the page "e-cigarette" ?

they have now decided to undelete the page as they understand that electronic cigarettes can not be classed as an NRT. also the term "e-cigarette" is a trademark registered by Cixi e-cig, one manufacturer of many in china. They also claim to own the trademark "e-cig". the term electronic cigarette is a better term to describe these devices as it is the generic untrademarked term. you are welcome to contribute to the page for "electronic cigarette" K08 (talk) 23:38, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

you can read the debate on the undeletion here: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion/Archive_1

Thank You

Wikicup

Hi. I thought it was a good idea, but not so well organized. I think it should be done. If you still want to do it, I'd be happy to help, or if you don't, do you know anyone willing to? I think it would make GA/VGA, DYK and other things more active, which would be great for SEWP. Anyway, thanks. Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 17:37, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

You can make one if you want, and I'd be happy to participate. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 18:03, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Ok, but would I be able to participate (as we would need judges)? And the page would be called user:Yotcmdr/Wikicup. Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 18:09, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe not. Shapiros10 ^{Flap the Yap} 18:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

A shame. I would like to participate ^_^. And you don't know anybody who'd want to be a judge? Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 18:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

reset Hey, are you going to participate? Also, what do you think of User:Bluegoblin7/Wikicup? I also think we should redirect the one in your userspace to mine to avoid confusion... Thanks, BG^7even 23:58, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
