Sinol

Hello we have put up a wiki page for Sinol nasal spay it is not done in any way to advertise it was writing in the same manner as Nyquil and other medications that are on this site can you please review and help guide us to be able to keep this page up and help keep my account from being blocked. Thanks, Jason Vyasil (talk) 05:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

From the delete log on that article, it seems as though more people than myself have expressed issue with that article. For starters, it lacks 3rd party external references. It has links only to the company website, and you have not changed the article from the first time you tried to create it. Also, you evaded the deletion by creating a new article under a slightly different name. If you were to find 3rd party (newspaper) references about this product, then we could start to get this article looking better, however I would suggest editing the protoarticle on your own userpage and not put it back in the mainspace until we get it looking less like spam, and more encyclopedic. Oh, and I didnt delete the article. I just tagged it. Queerbubbles | Leave me Some Love 10:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Spellings

As I just said to larrymac, whoever that guy is he is either doing it on purpose or is an idiot. Either way, someone should tell him to type properly. Its not that hard.

BTW, I don't think calling someone what they are is unacceptable. I'd call you one, only you've done that with your username already.

It is unacceptable to call someone a faggot. Period. End of discussion. Queerbubbles | Leave me Some Love 15:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Fine, but the issue remains that he can't spell a freaking word properly. What is going to be done about this? Green t-shirt (talk) 15:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Look he's at it again! check the history tab. Green t-shirt (talk) 15:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

It is none of your concern. He is not editing in the mainspace so therefore there isnt a problem. He just cant spell. If you are feeling this intense about it, simply go to another ref board. Queerbubbles | Leave me Some Love 15:49, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Neither can you, by the looks of it. Cant has an apostrophe. Green t-shirt (talk) 15:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Queerbubbles can spell. She was just testing you. You only noticed one out of two missing apostrophes. You failed both the spelling test and the manners test. --David from Downunder (talk) 02:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

*cough* Of course thats what I meant... ;) Queerbubbles | Leave me Some Love 11:01, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. You're doing a great job at the article. I just wanted to point out one little mistake . Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Ya know... I saw that too. And the person who rvv before me had the same issue... but I swear that when I was actually reverting, thats what I ended up seeing as the thing I was reverting as vandalism. Pretty peculiar... but wierd things happen. Ol' well.  :) Queerbubbles | ^{Leave me Some Love} 19:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Pot/Kettle

I suppose I should move this off Trusilver's page. I hate orange new message bars that aren't for me:-). I went to the discussion board you linked, but I'm not convinced the phrase has a racial connotation from its origins (I'm not not believing you, just not seeing it yet), but rather, the other way around - meaning, the phrase existed, and then got "reapplied" to racial situations, namecalling, etc, later on. Either way, it obviously is a sensitive turn of phrase, so I'll personally not use it anymore. Oh, and now you're on my watchlist, you can reply here if you wish, :-) Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thats what I was saying, of course it started easily and simply enough but through time people forgot the meaning and applied a different connotation to it. After time, again, it returned to its more innocent meaning. I used the tiger and toe phrase as an example of how people forget over time... not that the origination was something bad. Yaaay for having another set of eyes on my talk page! I guess im getting popular! Queerbubbles | ^{Leave me Some Love} 21:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

...and with a name like "queerbubbles", are you really concerned about perceptions? :-) (I mean that absolutely lightheartedly, don't read into it). You will forever be on my watchlist, like it or love it. :-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 22:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Now now... I explained the queer and the bubbles on the main page. :P Queerbubbles | ^{Leave me Some Love} 22:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Numbered lists

Hiya. On numbered lists, if you strike through you also need to indent the numbering by using :# and then start your strike through, otherwise it resets the count. Hope that helps! Pedro :  Chat  14:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi--I reassessed this article after your work extending it. I think it's now a solid B. See my assessment comments. Tjarrett (talk) 19:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

OooOO! I feel giddy! All proud like I adopted a delinquent kid and am now shoving him off the college to be educated by the rest of society! I'll definately try to assess that last bit about the centers programs. It really is bare bones. Qb | ^{your 2 cents} 19:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA thank-spam

Queerbubbles/Archive 3, just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral. If there's something I've realized during my RFA process this last week, it's that adminship is primarily about trust. I will strive to honour that trust in my future interactions with the community. Many thanks! Gatoclass (talk) 06:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Smithsonian gardens

I just checked the web site, those gardens are closed until 2009, unless these prestigious places web sites tell falsities online -- are you working there?

Here is another question, one that you don't have to answer and one that I would like to change my opinion of -- do only total idiots and ding-dongs make requests for adminship?

And yeah, that is my 2 cents today -- where should I put them. -- carol (talk) 04:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I made a category at the commons for Image:Smithsoniangardens17.jpg, finding categories for the species is an interesting task that I would not want to take from you -- especially after getting the needed help to identify the species. I have a cute little plant growing where I have been staying, identifying it and then making an article for it was good for my brain and soul. If no one looks at the photograph or reads the text, there was still all kinds of good times and interesting things that went into finding what the plant was and making the article and making the area at the commons for it. I am watering it so that maybe I can get a good photograph of the seeds even. It was kind of tricky also as I am like everyone else I suppose and want to think that this little plant here is something special and there was information online to allow me to go that way. It turns out that it was kind of special in that it was so very common and yet there was not a very good article for it here and my photograph was honestly the best for the article. -- carol (talk) 05:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I dont exactly know what you want, or what you are saying, but I will tell you that the gardens behind the Smithsonian Castle is not closed. It is open air. The building next to the Smithsonian Castle is closed for renovation. If I worked there, wouldnt I know the names of the plants? As for RfAs, there are many many very good editors who request the tools. There are also just as many not so good editors. Thats the whole point of the RfAs, so that the entire community can weigh in on who is trusted with the tools. Qb | ^{your 2 cents} 14:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

In addition, the link to the specific gardens is here and a bigger overall map is here. Saying something was taken at a Smithsonian Gardens is a general term... not a specific locality. Qb | ^{your 2 cents} 14:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Not if you were a construction worker there -- it was actually easier for me to imagine a construction worker getting photographs on his lunch break and curious about the name of the plant (being there with not a formal tour and having a different sort of access to the grounds) than it was a regular tourist getting pictures in a display garden. They did not have people or little signs that identified the species and varieties?

Thanks for the links, it gets a little confusing between "Smithsonian" things and "National" things here when searching for the correct category heading for images like the ones you have. It would be much better for the tourist who took the photographs and/or the uploader to categorize them at the commons. Category is not the only option for making them easy to find, it is (in my opinion) the easiest option.

You do understand that there is more to these wiki than just voting for admin? I was told that there were approximately 3000 images uploaded to wiki commons everyday. That is astounding to me. There is no way to know that they are all located well on the computers that host them, but if especially the experienced wiki users make an attempt at least towards responsible uploading and management, most of the images can be logically positioned or placed or whatever best describes the things that make it easy to search and find them.

When I first started to play on a wiki in 2003, I had no idea it would (like it seems that all systems that humans build) turn into a two class thing, again. I am a little frustrated; a frustration that dates back many many years to my college days that doesn't (probably) involve you. Where the Gay Students Association had 300 members and the Astronomy Club had 25 members and the funding system that was in place then awarded funds according to membership. Check out those numbers and multiply them by some funding and get a little view of my frustration here. I am sure that it was more than 10 dollars, but just use that to keep it simple. $3000 for pizza and alternative dating. $250 for pizza and equipment and (also) alternative dating as I am going to claim that the dorks in the club had as many 'social problems' as the alternatively sexually oriented did. In the discussion of the groups of people, all of the individuals who were individuals gets lost, and I don't like that. There were 'dorks' in the club who were not dorks and social attuned and the people I know who would be involved in clubs like the Gay Students Association who were very dorky and almost every single individual I know is a great being all on their own. Me, I have problems also. For example, I started to tip waitstaff more after I was a waitress; that is one example. A few more examples similar to that and I no longer think that any 'job' is easy.

Did you pick the name 'queer bubbles' or was it given to you? For a long while, I suggested that if I had been born a gay male, that I could maybe with this frame of mind figure out a way to run a good portion of the world. This was before STDs became such a killer (and funding devise) and the first time I said this was a similar moment to this, where a build up of observations I had made got to be too much. It was about the people who I saw running things and the way it seemed to be that they were promoted. And there is another fact here, your photographs are as thoughtlessly uploaded as the 'admin' I suppose that I am going to have to answer to or worry about now have been picked by me. Like, I have been busy making commons nice and writing articles here and don't want to play 'personality' games like who is running things and vote for administration stuff. I do this division I complain about myself. I am right now complaining about enjoying the tasks, the actual productive work and being taken advantage of for that. So, "queerbubbles" would you like to spend a few moments recapping the reasons you voted positively for the administrators that you voted positively for and maybe even point out one or two that you were extremely impressed with to help me catch up with the administrative side of things? I will be more than happy to continue to help you understand (what I think) would be the minimum upload task for images at wikicommons. Also, those templates pasted by new administrators? Were they software generated? Is that fake? It could be. It could be a turing complete system and extremely frustrating to me because of that.... -- carol (talk) 21:49, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

The reasons for how I came about my name are detailed on my main namespace page. Check there. As for whether or not I've thoughtlessly uploaded my images is neither here nor there. I've uploaded them. I do not know the names of the flowers, therefore I put it on the WP:Flowers page. They will get IDed and added to their correct locations. If you want the images on the commons side to be categorized in the correct places, leave instructions on my commons page and I'll get to it when I get to it. As for admins, I do not vote on every single one. Just ones that I feel strongly about. If you want to begin to take notice, feel free to do so. I will not "coach" you on how to vote. For the future, please be succinct in your requests and your comments. Qb | ^{your 2 cents} 22:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

"Neither here nor there" is a phrase from a story that I wrote when I was about the age your user page says you are. It was one of the best things I wrote, I think as 20 years or more later I do not think there is much I would change about it and it doesn't embarrass me. It was kind of about the space in the my brain that is between mathematics and music -- for lack of a good description of it. (The people I worked with then -- one of them did not like the use of parenthesis in it). Now, help me (if you want) with this, who do I want to meet? You or your gay friend? -- carol (talk) 23:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Later today, I am going to look up what the word "succinct" is. I am sorry if I have offended you; it was not my intention. I will look at your user page right after I save this though.... -- carol (talk) 23:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I suspect that the reason you chose your wikinickname is going to be much more interesting than the definition of the word succinct. I am probably going to shed a little tear because a story that includes the sentence "queer bubbles are floating around me" might have been about me. I also am of the mind that you have been tolerant of me these last few hours, and I appreciate it. Financial and political divisions are interesting, aren't they? -- carol (talk) 23:38, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks!

		RfA: Many thanks
		Many thanks for your participation in my recent request for adminship. I am impressed by the amount of thought that goes into people's contribution to the RfA process, and humbled that so many have chosen to trust me with this new responsibility. I step into this new role cautiously, but will do my very best to live up to your kind words and expectations, and to further the project of the encyclopedia. Again, thank you. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 05:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Learning flowers should (in theory) be fun...

If you're not completely turned off by now to the whole idea of learning to identify plants, I thought you might be interested in participating in the Bloom Clock on Wikiversity. There are graphical keys to help you identify flowers you saw, and also you could share your "data" (as well as wonderful photos) to help make the keys more accurate. --SB_Johnny | ^talk 01:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Aw thanks babe. Yeah, that whole episode is kinda jarring. But I'll definately check it out! I'll be going down to to the OBX next week for a (long needed) vacation and should snap some more... but thank you for caring. Qb | ^{your 2 cents} 09:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
