My new sig--Spittlespat! ǀ T ♦ C ♦ S 17:17, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Nice! A much more proffesional look now. But to be honest, it does seem like a cross between Chamal's current one, and La Pianista's too :p. Blooded Edge ^Sign/_Talk 17:53, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

That's because...I created it. :D I was kind of worried since Spittlespat didn't respond to me yet, though... *hint* —La Pianista ^{(T•C•S•R)} 23:39, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

That would explain it, you did a good job Pianista. I like the use of diamonds to seperate the links :). Blooded Edge ^Sign/_Talk 12:18, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! :)

If you ever have any newcomers who would like their sigs or pages redesigned, pretty please, will you to redirect them to me? I like making sigs and/or designing userpages for the newbies... :) —La Pianista ^{(T•C•S•R)} 20:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Sure will, I presume this has something to do with brushing yourself up for your upcoming RfA? Blooded Edge ^Sign/_Talk 17:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Not really. My "brushing up" takes the form of XfD's, though I have to say, I'm not quite used to it (yet).

Sig making is something that I got interested in when I made one for my friend User:Amulet Heart and another one for my adoptee, User:Valce1. I thought it was fun, and it might be something for me to do on the side. :) —La Pianista ^{(T•C•S•R)} 19:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

How should I know if you would add unsourced material. All I know is that the article you provided didn't have a source for the material. Now that you've provided an appropriate link, I have no problem with the article. No hard feelings? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I guess we're quits, sorry if I seemed a bit unruly with that edit summary. I've been working long hours trying to catch up with my Geography coursework.

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...)

Your signature

Hi, maybe it's just a firefox thing but your signature looks huge on the RFA page and indeed the latter entries here. You might like to think about taking it down a notch. Nick mallory (talk) 05:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

It isn't just a firefox thing, because it's a huge signature in IE7, as well. It messes up the lines of text and makes what's below hard to read: particularly noticeable on the RfA page. Have a peek at the signatures page, especially this section, which discourages big signatures. (Also, I know it's really picky, but there are self-injurers on Wikipedia and your signature (really big, really red, "blooded edge") could be considered "insensitive".) Just two-pence for you, :-) Maedin\^talk 09:45, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah, sorry for any disruption caused guys. When I first implemented it at size two, it was just too small for my liking. Thats why I took it up to five, anyway, I'll bring it down to three now. Thanks for voicing your concerns :). Blooded Edge ^Sign/_Talk 17:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for responding so well, :-) I appreciate your willingness to make it smaller. Maedin\^talk 18:07, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

The trouble with the Chiller font is that making the size too small, means the resulting text is hardly visible. Increasing the size figure in turn, makes the resulting text a bit too big. It isn't easy finding a decent comprimise XD. Blooded Edge ^Sign/_Talk 18:09, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Blooded Edge Thanks for welcoming me to the blog...I have question for you. I have started a new page called Navjot Singh (Author), but why is it that I cannot see this page when I type in "Navjot Singh" into say, Google or Yahoo or any other search engine? I always see another page for another person by a different name "Navjot Singh Sidhu"....is there any way you can help me to have my page also visible when its typed into a search engine?

Navjot Singh

Dear Sir or Madam

Firstly you should not have any doubts on Navjot Singh's notability. We are talking about a first rate author who has contributed to society. He deserves more mention than he gets...the most likely reason maybe that his name is not "British", and institutional racism can be a problem- so people may not prefer a guy with a name like Navjot Singh to be mentioned as a "British Author"...if this is the case then its sad that this still happens in the 21st century (I hope I am not being paranoid or thinking wrongfully)

Secondly this has got nothing to do with Dulwich Coll. or Navjot Singh himself...I am in fact a friend of his who has known him a long time. He has worked hard to where he has got to. This is not to show off about his achievements or to promote his book or services, but to give a simple message that here is a guy of non-white origins who has written and done something about China, and it is very rare for a Indian man to write good things about China because normally its only white western people who write things about China, and believe it or not the Chinese and Indian cultures do not get along, so in actual fact Navjot Singh has done something which is rare, for an Indian to have a deep passion and interest in China....don't you think thats something special that he is actually making a contribution to bring a true sense of multiculturalism into this world? We would highly appreciate if you can please reinstate his profile. Its not a bad thing, its a good thing....we dont have a website where we can promote his services...thats a pity on our behalf...

I am sorry I mentioned that I started the profile of Navjot Singh...it was has cousin...but there are 2 of us on this...

Thanks for your understanding and effort. I am sure you are a nice person who understands

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		For surprising me at a completely random time with such a pleasant message, i think that handing out this star is no more then justified :) Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 20:38, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm equally delighted at your own presentation of the RAK star! Thanks very much! I'm suprised no-one gave you the userpage award earlier, to be unaware of its existance is mind-boggling! Blooded Edge^awards 20:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Might have something to do with that i mainly work with vandals, who aren't that likely to give out stars ;). More serious again, this is actually quite the rare star. From what i can count it has only been given to about 300 ish wikipedians in its 2+ years of existence. Maybe that is also a reason i never saw it before: The only time i need to look at WP:BARN is when i need the code to award a star, or need to look up a very specific star. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 20:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd have thought you may have saw it when skimming through WP:BS, but alas. Anywho, how do you know the number of users who have been awarded a specific 'star? Is it guesswork, or is there a special programme for doing so? Blooded Edge^awards 20:52, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah my friend, that is a highly secret method that also tells me there are at least 6 people that directly duplicated my navigation bar or entire userpage for their own purposes. But no, its actually just a simple trick. I assume that this image is virtually exclusively used in the barnstar template, which means that about every image on every page is an award (Of course its possible people have them in their talk page archives and on a seperate page, or they use the image outside the template, but that should be minor). All you need to do is get the full list of where the image is linked to and then scroll around it. In this case i noticed i could click "Next 100" a total of three times, so there are 300 instances of that image around wikipedia, thus around 300 awards :). I am pretty sure there is also a program for this, but this is the easiest way to get an estimate ;) Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 21:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Aah I see, clever thinking, I can see the logic behind your methods. Considering there must be at least a few hundred thousand active editors around Wikipedia, only 300 or so getting the userpage award is hugely dis-proportionate. I guess people just can't be bothered to spend 10-15 seconds handing it out, or maybe only a hand-full of Wikipedians actually have a decent page. Still, I find it tiring to think about it :(. Blooded Edge^awards 21:05, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

153,549 active editors on a total population of 8,029,147 to be precise. Actually, i think the main problem is little people know the star. I have seen quite a few nice talk and user pages, but since i never even knew the star, i never awarded it. Also, don't forget that a star such as the vandalism barnstar is placed as a reaction (someone removes vandalism from a talk page and the owner gives a star in appreciation). A userpage ia kind of "Always there" so little people will especially give a star for that. Guess that also explains my pleasant surprise eh? Oh, and for the copyover: If you respond there i will be forced to copy the responces here par my own policy that both users should have a complete copy to archive (Otherwise discussions are completely unreadable after a while ^^) Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 21:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, I normally hand out a userpage award every week or so if I come across pages that (are in my opinion) good enough. This is just to keep the receiving user in high spirits and etc, a community oriented thing. As for your replying policy, OK, I hope you don't mind continually having to remove talkback templates :). Blooded Edge^awards 21:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:Welcome Cabal

Well, here's how you can make it so it's very easy to welcome:

1. Go to "my preferences" tab
2. Go to Gadgets
3. Enable "Friendly"

With Friendly, every time you click on a user talk page, a "welcome" tab will show up along with "edit this page, move, history". Just click welcome, and click one the options. Hope this helps. Cheers.--LAAFan^sign _review 02:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

SO NOW, SO WoW

Fashion Can Be Such A Grind

So, being so inconveniently rich and everything, I decided to four new laptops in the hope that I could write them off my taxes, and possibly to see what would happen if I put them in the microwave. While putting a model together on the dell website, I couldn't help noticing the items on the "recommended accessories" page included a webcam, a USB hub, a pack of blank DVDs, and... World Of Warcraft. If I were less mentally stable I think I think I could be forgiven for thinking WoW was stalking me with a grudge. I spent three very unproductive months grinding my way through that grindtastic grindfest a while back, and its amazing how something so dementedly un-entertaining can draw you in. I see the damned game at every turn. World Of Warcraft free trial CDs are everywhere, fighting dogs,killing cats, biting babies in cradles...all you'd need to do is learn how to digest plastic and you'd never go hungry again. So, I set about emptying every CD rack I came across, thinking about creating a magnificent morning coat made out of WoW free trial CDs. I pictured myself on the streets of London making millions. Regrettably the project never got that far. After gathering all the free trial CDs into a pile, the sheer weight of concentrated grind in a single place created a grind vortex that reduced the furniture to sawdust in seconds. Only two CDs remained which I considered stringing together in a G-string arrangement, but I thought wearing that along the streets of London would give the wrong message so I set the microwave to full power and found that there really is a way to make World Of Warcraft entertaining after all.

Blooded Edge, thank you much for supporting me in my recent RfA. Addionally, and most importantly, I would like to thank you for the signature. For some reason, it brought a huge smile to my face each time I checked the RfA's status. Kindest, 'LAZ talk

Hey there, nice to here your RFA did indeed pass, and by such an overwhelming margin as well! As for the signature, you are only too welcome to 'steal' the font :), I got bored of it after a bit, and my current one suits me just fine. By the way, some users did contact me about the font size, its hard to find an ideal balance with Chiller, but I suggest you cut the font size to at least 3-4. Regards, Blooded Edge^awards 15:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Heh, I can see how it may be disruptive. I'm not actually going to use it for my sig; but, I am going to save it in my pocket for a rainy day. Regardless, for some reason I thought it brought great levity to the stressful RfA experience. Kindly, Lazulilasher (talk) 16:00, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

As for your Christianity missionary work, you'd never be able to convert me. Although I give it some respect, Christianity has never been my thing. I'm not a big fan of it, for example, all the forced conversions during the colonial age. On Phaedriel's page for example:

“ [H]aving a Christian missionary tell you it is wrong to believe in more than one Divine Being, then listen to him tell you about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, St. Patrick, St. Christopher, St. Francis, etc. ”

Re:Logo

I would have responded at my page, but a mess has ensued - a possible third episode of Bloody Murder. Yeesh.

Anyhow, my question would have been whether you would like the logo to match your sig. Would you like it to reflect, like mine, or have some sort of background with a shadow, like Spittle's? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 23:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

First of all, thanks for replying. I'll get down to the specifics:

• Is it possible to design the logo using the Matisse ITC font?
• The colour to be gray?
• I would indeed like a reflection in the same context as your own.

Are all of these requirements OK? Looking forward to your response :). Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 09:20, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Userpage Award

Hey, thanks for that. :) Unfortunately, I don't feel that it would be right of me to accept since I'm clueless when it comes to designing pages and copied mine from User:Frank.

Nope. Omniscience refers to ultimate knowledge in a godly way. So a religious being would have omniscience. It could possibly be morally/politically incorrect to attribute it to a human.

And "someone that thinks they know anything" would most likely be one of the following:

stuck-up, egotistical, self-righteous, conceited, narcissistic, arrogant, boastful, egocentric, vainglorious, self-centered, etc. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

um isn't my definition close enough thinking they know everything is kind of like being stuck-up also I had religious in there!--Spittlespat! ǀ T ♦ C ♦ S 19:56, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

are you done wiht my new userpage yet?--Spittlespat! ǀ T ♦ C ♦ S 19:57, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Leave her alone for now, Spittle—she's got a recital tomorrow! She's gonna bring down the house with the sheer amazingness of her performance, methinks. :) —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 20:13, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

YAY! GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PERFORMANCE LAPIANSTA!!! YOU ROCK!!!!! I've only done two concerts in my whole life! I've also been to a piano contest and won ten bucks (that's alot I think)--Spittlespat! ǀ T ♦ C ♦ S 20:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Great, now everyone knows... -_-

Jk! Thanks for your support guys! I've got little more time than yesterday time for Wiki today - I never practice the day of performance. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 18:00, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

outburst

Go to ed17's user talk page, it's my first outbursts unbeilevable huh!--Spittlespat ALIENS 01:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

You really do have a knack for all these random mood swings... that time of month again? Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:05, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

?!?!?! LOL!!!!

I thought that you meant werewolf or something.... —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

That has got to be the funniest comment I have ever read. (next to Ed's "Cask of Amontillado" skit, of course). :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:09, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I thought you'd take offence to that Pianista! But I'm glad you did (or at least tried to) see the humorous side of it =|. Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:14, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

(e/c) W/e...Edge's was better. :) By the way, this is not a typo, you little devious liar—this is a mistake. I am so disappointed right now...psh, hope you don't think that I still want to nominate you for admin, Pianista. :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:16, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I suggest we put her on trial in front of the omnipotent and omnipresent ArbCom, and Jimbo now that I remember him. A good banning will sort her out :). Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Ooooo good idea. :) A co-nom by two respectable editors can't be ignored! =) —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:21, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

(Blooded Edge's sword's dent) All right, but what grounds will you have for blocking me? As you all have seen, I have been showered with praise, and others have attested to the fact that I deserve every bit of it.

Good luck with your block. My gnomes and I evil minions will take care of the rest... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:26, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Everyone who ever gave you a barnstar were blatantly paid to do so <shiftyeyes>. Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:33, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Bad move, B.E. If you knew me from past discussions, you'd know I'd always need physical ground for that.

Soooooooo...........what is your proof? You yourself gave me one...unless... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:35, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Ooooooo betrayal? Blackmail maybe? This is getting good. :) —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I thought my payment for giving you barnstars was last night, BA DUM PAN CHOOM! (you arn't taking this too much to heart, are you?!) Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Before this gets too out of hand, I'd like to offer a disclaimer: Everthing I have said thus far has been a joke and should be taken as such. Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

(e/c)Poor Blooded Edge, too afraid to hurt anyone's feelings.

Not to be confused with Cod throwing.

Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Wikipedia when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of disruptive edits, which earn warnings and blocks.

Example

Whack!

The above is a WikiTrout (Oncorhynchus macrowikipediensis), used to make subtle adjustments to the clue levels of experienced Wikipedians.

To whack a user with a wet trout, simply place {{trout}} on their talk page.

Payback... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah well, I guess I had it coming :). Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Serious now: Edge, will you co-nom Pianista for admin with me? —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:48, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Whoa whoa whoa whoa! All right, I'll spill the beans. I'm not running for admin anymore. I've had my coaching page deleted. Perhaps in a year. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:50, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

WHA?! Ah well, did your partnership with Balloonman fall apart? Or am I tredding on personal ground and you wish me to accordingly shut up? Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:51, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

(e/c) Oh fine then... Sorry--didn't know that you even HAD a coaching page! =) Never mind then, Edge! —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

(e/c)No, no, I just felt adminship was not quite right for me yet. Something about having people comb through every facet of my wikibeing just felt a little uncomfortable - at the time.

I'm still neutral on this. What do you guys think? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I think you should have gone through with it. I mean, lets see:

• You have an excellent track record
• Everyone who knows you will gladly vouch for your credentials
• Your huge collection of barnstars only cements your worth here in on Wikipedia.
• The pain experienced through the RfA, will be forgotten if and when you finally get granted adminship. Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

When —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

(←) Well, I could also find reasons for oppose.

• I rarely participate in AfD.
• I also rarely help out at Help Desk.
• I basically do hardly anything but gnome and Huggle.

I, personally, would not vote for someone who is good as an editor, but not so good as an admin. Thanks for the many complements and understanding, though. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:21, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Ultimately, seeing as it is your final decision on whether to run or not, I will respect your choice :). Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 20:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Is this the "trout club" or something like that? Or maybe the trout cabal. Chamal ^talk 00:10, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't know. Is it a cabal? :) —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 00:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

There is no cabal. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Use "tinc" in the edit summary....really? Really? Was that necessary? =) —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 02:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I think the real question is, does it matter? Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 17:50, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

EDGE, U MIZED DA BULETIN!

Poor old Asafa, making him all C.D.–less and everything. You should be ashamed of yourself... :) Cheers for the heads up. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 03:24, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Well I was too afraid of adding it myself in case it was just a joke or something like that. Anyway, thanks for doing it in my stead :). Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
