User talk:Kyoko/Archive15

My talk page / ma page de discussion / 私 の 会話ページ I'm too busy with offline stuff to do much here. My talk page archives are here. Please follow these guidelines for my talk page: 1. If you want to pressure me into editing the Esperanza essay, don't. Just don't. If you persist, I will consider it harassment and seek administrative action. Wikipedia is at heart a volunteer project; people freely offer their work because they want to. They're not obligated to work on a specific article, or to do any work at all. It took months of painful debate to settle on a mutually acceptable text, and I don't want to subject myself to any more stress on its account. 2. Please be civil and respect that this is my talk page. That means avoiding excessive images (barnstars and smileys are fine, within reason), not treating my talk page as your personal chat room, and not altering your comments after the fact. 3. Please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ or by using the edit toolbar. The automated signature button is the one to the right of the crossed out "W". Please understand if I do not respond immediately. Also please be understanding if I do not answer your message in the order that it was received, or if I do not answer your message at all. I just don't have the time or energy to respond to everyone, so please accept my apologies if your message goes unanswered. I will ordinarily answer on your talk page, unless requested to do otherwise. Thank you! —Kyoko You're very welcome You're very welcome for the welcome back. :) Tell me when you've updated the header and I'll semi-protect it for you. I am very glad to see you're back. Acalamari 23:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC) Your header is semi-protected. :) By the way, your user page is currently fully-protected by Riana. I had semi-protected it, but she changed it to full not long later. The protection will expire on 20:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC). Would you like me to change or extend the protection at all for you? Acalamari 23:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC) Never mind; I had a second look and there isn't any expiry at all. :) Acalamari 15:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Hey there :) Lovely to see you here again - Alison ☺ 23:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC) Indeed :) You were missed! I know you're probably still busy in meatspace, but I'll be looking forward to seeing you in my Watchlist anyway. Hoping you enjoyed your time away, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Anytime :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 17:00, 16 August 2007 (UTC) Welcome back I really didn't want to see this page flooded with "welcome back" messages, but it would also be unpardonably rude of me to not welcome you back. ;) So, welcome back! :) —  $PЯINGεrαgђ  23:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC) As an addition, here's a flower. (Actually, not just a flower, a rose!) —  $PЯINGεrαgђ  00:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Hey!! I'm not sure why your talkpage didn't pop up on my watchlist, but your message on Alison's page did... I know you're still busy, but it's still great to have you around even a little bit :) ~ Riana ⁂ 12:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC) E-mail ping. :) ~ Riana ⁂ 13:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC) Sure thing. Let me know when/if you want it unprotected. ~ Riana ⁂ 13:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC) \o/ Kyoko! *huge tight hug* it's SO nice to see you around again, I missed you so much while you were gone! Looking forward to seeing you about and dropping in from time to time, love you tons <3 -- Editor at Large • talk 16:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC) Greeting to my IP address! Hi, Kyoko, Thanks for your welcome to me, ref Doctor Faustus (Thomas Mann novel) edits, at my IP address number as a userpage (which I can't actually remember offhand...)! Very kind of you...I'm afraid my machine kept logging me in and out and I am the same user as Eebahgum, with whom I have been alternating edits! I have now made a fair lot of changes to Doc F and think I shall leave it about there, though a few more wikilinks may be in order. Should there be a template on this article? Hope you like it, Eebahgum 13:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC) and thankyou also for the other message! I didn't really notice that no-one had welcomed me as I purposely opened furtively. You could discover more by following me quietly to here and here as well, but I had to move away. It was that or leave completely. May peaceful and constructive thought surround you (and me!). Best wishes, Eebahgum 22:24, 3 September 2007 (UTC) WikiProject Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week WikiProject Pharmacology is currently organizing a new Collaboration of the Week program, designed to bring drug and medication related articles up to featured status. We're currently soliciting nominations and/or voting on nominations for the first WP:RxCOTW, to begin on September 5, 2007. Please stop by the Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week page to participate! Thanks! Dr. Cash 17:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC) This is flight BG2007, calling the tower for help This is me calling in from the days when you were making wonderful contributions to take the article Bengali Language Movement to FA status, and I was at the sidelines appreciating you. Now the article Biman Bangladesh Airlines is in need for your help. It is almost ready for an FAC, but the current Bangladesh lot still doesn't have a good copyeditor. Preston McConkie is helping out. But, it needs you. Please... pretty please... If you need to ask any question, or want someone to do a bit of research, I promise to help with everything I have. Aditya(talk • contribs) 18:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC) Just made an edit to History section but missed the inuse template. Feel free to overwrite my changes and I'll add them back in. → AA (talk) — 19:03, 3 September 2007 (UTC) Clinical trial Kyoko, can you tell me who is mainly responsible for the Clinical trials page? I appreciate your starting to simplify it. However, the whole article should be rewritten to be accessible to non-experts. I don't want to tamper with a "B" class article without getting some support. I am quite familiar with the field so for me to work on the page is more a matter of politics than expertise. One approach might be to have a simplified abstract of the page like an infobox. I really feel two articles, one for beginners and one for experts, would be the best solution. Any thoughts welcome. Sofia Roberts 23:13, 3 September 2007 (UTC) Hey I've returned to Wikipedia in the last few days, and I notice by chance, that you seem to have too! Welcome back. My last action before I left Wikipedia previously was to comment on your editor review - so I'm glad to see you around still and hopefully Wikipedia isn't causing too much stress for you :) Hope things are going well. :) If you feel particularly motivated, you could always check out my current Editor Review. But, come and say Hi on my talk page at least! You're one of my favourites on here :) Pursey 16:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week Aspirin has been selected as this week's Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week! Please help us bring this article up to featured standards during the week. The goal is to nominate this at WP:FAC on September 10, 2007. Also, please visitWP:RxCOTW to support other articles for the next COTW. Articles that have been nominated thus far include Doxorubicin, Paracetamol (in the lead with 4 support votes so far), Muscle relaxant, Ethanol, and Bufotenin. In other news: Bupropion has been promoted to featured status on August 31, 2007. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology main page has been updated and overhauled, to make it easier to find things, as well as to highlight other goals and announcements for the project. Garrondo is asking for individuals to help review Therapies for multiple sclerosis, as he is considering nominating this article for GA status. Fvasconcellos notes that discussion is ongoing regarding the current wording of MEDMOS on including dosage information in drug articles. All input is welcome. Dr. Cash 00:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC) Clinical Trial Hi Kyoko, I read your message. I'm going to try to simplify the page. One thing I like a lot is using boxes and numbered or bulleted lists. Inserting tables to reiterate long paragraphs of text will be my first way of making the page more user-friendly; that is, if I can find the template :) Sofia Roberts 21:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC) LGBT WikiProject Newsletter Delivered on 16:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC).

I appreciate that you took the time to clarify your supporting statement and the humour you used when fixing another editor's comment. Let me know if I can help you out with anything. Cheers! -- Flyguy649 talk contribs 03:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Here I am! :) Smiling is contagious, you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile then I realized its worth, A single smile, and just like mine could travel round the earth. So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected - Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected! Love you lots, my Kyoko girl! :) Phaedriel 22:36, 16 September 2007 (UTC) WikiProject Pharmacology Update Here's a brief update in some of the recent developments of WikiProject Pharmacology! Aspirin has just completed its two week run as the first Collaboration of the Week! Many thanks to those editors that contributed; the article got a lot of good work accomplished, and in particular, much work was done in fixing up the history section. It's still not quite "done" yet (is a wikipedia article really ever done?), but after two weeks I think it's more important to push onwards with the development of the new collaboration of the week program. I will be fixing up Aspirin in the next few days and possibly nominating it for either GA or FA status. Muscle relaxant has been selected as the new Collaboration of the week until October 2, 2007! This article is currently rated as a "stub", so it's got quite a bit of work cut out for collaborators! Admittedly, featured status could be a long way off,... but still attainable! At the least, maybe we could at least get it up to meeting the Good article criteria? Please stop by the article and help improve it. Resveratrol, having recently achieved GA status on August 16, 2007, is now making a run for featured status. This is quite a fascinating compound. If you can, please stop by its discussion page and leave comments in support of it. Please remember that Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing or dispensing medical advice amongst users. Specifically, talk pages of articles should only be used to discuss improving the actual article in question. To help alleviate this situation, the template {{talkheader}} may be added to the top of talk pages, reminding users of the purpose of such pages. Additionally, unsigned comments and comments by anonymous users that are inappropriate may be removed from talk pages without being considered vandalism. There was an interesting article on ZDNet last week about Hewlett Packard licensing its patented microneedle technology used in common inkjet printers to be used in transdermal patches to deliver a time-controlled release of drugs to patients. This information could be added to articles such as route of administration or drug delivery.

Short and sweet, and a nice powerful message too. I'll leave your page at semi for now, let's see how we go. I've left the move-protection as sysop-only because there's no real reason for your userpage to be moved anyway. ~ Riana ⁂ 17:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC) That's certainly one way of getting attention :) ~ Riana ⁂ 17:45, 28 September 2007 (UTC) RfA thanks Not the usual RfA either. Thank you so much for supporting my RfA "over there" which passed unanimously today :) I really appreciate you taking the time out to do that (and your translation, too). I've translated your talk page, BTW, as requested. Thank you so much! Love - Alison ❤ 02:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC) confirmation This is to confirm my request dated 14:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC). Thank you for your attention. --Kyoko 14:40, 30 September 2007 (UTC) I believe you now have Kyoko on en.wikt. Please try it out and let me know if anything still doesn't work. Note that I read my Wiktionary talk page far more regularly than the one here. Dvortygirl 03:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC) Heya... ... I hope that this isn't going to cause any pain, but I just read your Esperanza essay. I was never involved in that in any way... but... your essay really pulled on my heartstrings. Anyway, don't know if I've got a point here, but I just felt like I had to respond in some way. I hope you are doing OK now Kyoko. - Ta bu shi da yu 15:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC) I was reading about Esperanza, which wasn't something I ever really paid much attention to (I cut back my admin duties during that time, so missed the furore). Then I went to another editor's page (username escapes me now), and then I saw Elaragirl's userpage and she said that you needed support. So I was curious, and went to your user page. Then I saw your essay in your user page. I'm really sorry about the whole debacle, people really pour their hearts and souls into Wikipedia (I do!) and when these sort of things happen it can be really painful. But I'm glad you're doing OK, and even more glad to see you still contributing to the project! If you need any help, give me a holler - via email, or on my talk page. - Ta bu shi da yu 23:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC) Thanks Thanks, dear, for all the help, encouragement, love, patience and inspiration that keeps flowing from you. One of my friends - AA has is currently up for an RfA. If possible, you could take a peek. And, uh... could you take a look at Sitakunda Upazila? Looking for suggestions right now. Would take it to peer review soon.

I got involved in an article through my anti-vandal efforts that is primarily sourced from French language sources and I was hoping to find someone to review the content and keep an eye for additions that may violate WP:BLP. The article is Jean-Paul Ney. Let me know what you think. Thanks! Dreadstar † 18:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC) Thanks for your most kind response! I didn't mean to put pressure on you to watchlist the article, and I really appreciate any help you can provide. We've asked a couple of different Wikiproject French groups to assist as well. Thanks! Dreadstar † 16:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC) Your note No, I wouldn't mind at all, on the contrary I'm flattered. No need to credit me, I think I just ripped it off from the {{afc top}} template with a few minor tweaks. delldot talk 23:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC) The Novels WikiProject Newsletter - Issue XVII - October 2007 The October 2007 issue of the Novels WikiProject newsletter has been published.

I do try to check most diffs (using popups) to spot obvious vandalism or whatnot, but it has indeed become more of a "list of articles that interest me" :) I also watch some articles I've deleted, to check for recreation. I don't remember specifics offhand, but I have had a few nice surprises here (such as a copyvio being recreated with original material, or an article on someone seemingly non-notable being rewritten with good sources).

And yes, it is good to finally "meet" you officially, as of course, I know we've got many common Wiki-friends, and I've actually spoken of you quite fondly. I hope you are well, and would be happy to run into you again in the future! Thank you again for your kindness, it is greatly welcomed and appreciated! Ariel♥Gold 02:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC) In regards to this edit I have taken off the dab per WP:NAMB. Further, the hatnote guideline explains the use of these dabs. If you see more of these unnecessary ones or anything, can I trust that you'll remove them per the guideline? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 04:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC) Correctomundo! Some more examples of proper dab usage you'd want to look at are: Naruto, Matt Smith (comics), Elvis, Cricket, InuYasha, and Dragon Ball (*not sure if the hat on Freescale DragonBall is correct since "DragonBall" once redirected to Dragon Ball). Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 17:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC) Veropedia Good morning, Kyoko, it's a pleasure to talk to you again. I've made you an account at Vero, please check your email to pick up your password (no, I didn't create that, the machine did, and you can easily change it to something a little more...humane). Cheers, Moreschi Talk 09:33, 25 October 2007 (UTC) I will confess the help is not fantastic - here's some links to get you started. Here's the login page, and once you've logged in, that's the parser link - you run articles through the parser before upload. Let me know if this doesn't help.

And as for the e-mail, not at all, it was very helpful :) ~ Riana ⁂ 12:26, 26 October 2007 (UTC) Hmm. Could be that there are more than a few instances of the problem (it's a common enough mistake). ~ Riana ⁂ 12:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC) Eep. If that's the case, perhaps enter the revision ID on the main parser page? ~ Riana ⁂ 12:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC) I ran it through the parser myself (not uploading, just running it through) and found one last little </ref>,. Fixed that and it says it's OK - have a go now? ~ Riana ⁂ 13:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC) *knock, knock* Excuse me, ladies, but do you know about User:Gimmetrow/fixRefs.js?

Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:22, 27 October 2007 (UTC) Der Ring etc. I apologize for not providing an adequate explanation for removing your edit. I removed your edit at the same time as another, and assumed that both claimed notability by using the music. Trivia sections have proved contentious, especially in opera articles, and I have caused a bit of a stir on occasions by often making sweeping revisions. The guideline for trivia on Wikipedia (WP:TRIVIA) admits that it is difficult to separate irrelevant information from that that is notable. With regard to your edit, I believe there are two specific issues with claiming notability on the basis of plot. The first is that Der Ring is based heavily on mythology, and it is difficult to distinguish whether a later work is based on the original work (the Nieblungenlied) or the adapted work (Der Ring des Nibelungen). The second is that such a reference, in my opinion, adds nothing to the appreciation of the work, which is my test for inclusion on the site. I must admit total ignorance on the television program mentioned, but I doubt it will stay in the minds of Wagnerians the way Anna Russell and Apocalypse Now have.
