re: Household Hacker GA review

Thank you for taking the time to review Household Hacker and ultimately for promoting it to GA status. I agree completely that it would require significant work to achieve FA status, and would like to add that I think it is a good example of why the good article status was added. The sources simply do not exist that would allow it to be covered in sufficient detail to be a featured article. Many subjects fall into this same category, which, I think, is part of the reason the GA status exists.

Thanks again for your time, and I look forward to working with you again in the future. --ThaddeusB (talk) 13:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

On behalf of Vicenarian, your welcome! Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 15:15, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

You are very welcome, Thaddeus. I believe you are correct with regards to the GA status. Its criteria encourages and recognizes work to punch up an article, while not requiring the stringent detail of FA. Take care, and happy editing, The V-Man ^{(Said · Done)} 17:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi

This is not actually a hi, it is a serious issue which will define my conduct for the rest of my Wiki-life. Could you take a look at this. I reverted the edit before mine (sorry, sorry, I misinterprited it as vandalism, I accept that, it was unexplained section blanking though), but (I think the same IP with a new account) someone reverted my revert, claiming it is specualtion and poorly referenced. I don't know if this counts as speculation, because it is reporting something that is speculation/research. I don't know. If you look at it you'll see. I'm not trying to say I'm right, I know I'm probably wrong. Help! Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:02, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, m'lord, best thing to do is take it to the talk page and seek consensus from interested editors. Reporting on speculation is fine as long as you stick to WP:NPOV and avoid WP:UNDUE. Yours laddie, The V-Man ^{(Said · Done)} 19:06, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Awww, that's difficult-er-er than I thought it would be. Well, thanks anyway, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

P.S. - What does yours laddie mean? Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Not all that difficult, really. Remember, we're all about consensus here, or as close to consensus as we can get. As to your PS, "laddie" as in "lad" (Scottish colloquialism). It was me signing "Yours SIR" except substitute "laddie" for "SIR." Aren't you Scottish, man? The V-Man ^{(Said · Done)} 19:44, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

"If you don't know what to do, use undo – if the edit's a pile of cack, use rollback" – but seriously, Spongorama, don't sweat it. You'll dae weel. :) – B.hotep •talk• 20:02, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

"Collison"

In which a typo results in a ridiculed redirect and we act riotously ridiculous

Hi V-man! I'm just curious about REDLINK REDACTED FOR YOUR PROTECTION, which seems like an obvious R3 to me. Any reason in particular for this redirect? Except, of course, for covering up the fact that you made a typo on Javert's talk page :) decltype (talk) 13:36, 10 September 2009 (UTC) Yeeeeah, it was covering for a typo. But I thought it was a reasonably plausible typo, so I decided to make a redirect instead of just fixing it. I would feel no shame should an admin choose to delete it. Well, a little, hence the small type. ;) The V-Man (Said · Done) 13:41, 10 September 2009 (UTC) In which case you should immediately archive this thread, to hide the glaring redlink. Regards, decltype (talk) 14:09, 10 September 2009 (UTC) Hi! How's it going everyone? What's happening here? – B.hotep •talk• 14:12, 10 September 2009 (UTC) ←Such big words you have, Bubba! :-P Nothing to see, move along. :) The V-Man (Said · Done) 14:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC) {{uw-tpv1}}.

so...

No affence but i am really starting to loose ma pacience!!!!!!!!!!VTomi (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

You should be ashamed of yourself, Vicenarian. Neglecting your adoptee like that. And to think you considered adminship! Tut tut, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 18:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Well said!VTomi (talk) 19:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Please be patient. People have lives outside of Wikipedia. :) Regards, Javért  |  ^Talk 19:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

@IP - Are you Vicenarian, or what? @VTomi - Well grammaticized!, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Damn. I had a brilliant quote of yours to respond to that, Javert, but I can't find the diff. Never mind, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 20:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I apologize for the continued delay. Indeed, real life intervenes in most irritating ways. However, a critical skill required to be an effective (and drama-free) Wikipedian is patience and civility. Consider this part of that lesson. While you're waiting, go out and work! There's plenty to do and the need for work is never ending. If you're interested in reviewing good articles, WP:GAN has a nice backlog you can help tackle. If you're interested in fighting vandalism, head over to the WP:CVU for advice on where to start. If you just want something to do, WP:CLEANUP is ALWAYS full of thankless, yet vital tasks. If there's a topic you're interested in and you don't see an article for it, try your hand at writing one in your userspace. No need to wait on slow old me to get your fill of life as an editor. Cheers, The V-Man ^{(Said · Done)} 20:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

You just taught me more than you taught your adoptee, V-Man. I'm going to WP:CLEANUP right now. I had no idea it existed. Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 20:25, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

P.S. VTomi could always help poor lonely Lord Sponge in promoting Lego Batman: The Video Game to B-Class. No? Never mind. Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 20:25, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes i canVTomi (talk) 18:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Really? Was that at me? Well, you could find some development info, how the game was made and stuff, or whatever. Anything at all would be useful really. Or if ou have any idea how to get screenshots. Could do with one for the console versions (eg. PS3, XBox360, Wii). Bet you're wishing you hadn't volunteered now, hehe, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:05, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Removing mfd Notice

Please don't. That's not cool. To answer your question, why put them there to begin with, per WP:NOTWEBHOST is the reason. Thanks! _{Naluboutes, Nalubotes} ^{Aeria gloris, Aeria gloris} 19:46, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

You originally failed to create the actual MfD page or tag the page to be deleted. I removed your transclusion from MfD and notice from User:Abce2's talk page as it seemed the MfD nomination had not been followed through on. You have correctly created the MfD now and the discussion on whether or not to delete the page will take place there. Thank you, The V-Man ^{(Said · Done)} 19:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again...

I tell you, I can't believe this site at times. Peopleseem to think they have a right to add whatever they want and then they get their panties in a bunch when their stuff gets deleted, all because they don't read the rules. Thanks for the assist. Again.  :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PMDrive1061 (talk • contribs)
