Welcome aboard, CalculatinAvatar. I've enjoyed your edits so far. Keep it up. --Peter Farago 02:54, 28 December 2005 (EST)
DeZervAdLy lOw?
Don't be so hard on yourself. I think I was struggling to understand Photoshop (back when it didn't have a number behind it) when I was your age... I also had to walk uphill in a snowstorm in my bare feet just to ... --Watcher 06:27, 30 December 2005 (EST)
- That was just an attempt at wit. Self-esteem issues are for losers. :-X --CalculatinAvatar 07:36, 30 December 2005 (EST)
We Have a New "Peter Farago"! :)
With Peter's recent promotion to administrator, I was hoping someone would come along and nail me when my edits get sloppy and inconcise. Welcome to the team, and never apologize for being picky here. :) --Spencerian 11:47, 30 December 2005 (EST)
- Slow down a bit, cowboy! The major modifications that Peter is doing for the revised Cylon pages can get really confusing if we dive in to edit them while he's moving, so steer clear of them until the framework is up. Else, Peter may have to revert your edits in order to get the pages started. Don't want to have you do things twice. Thanks! --Spencerian 14:49, 30 December 2005 (EST)
- You're implying that, because Peter is an Admin now, that he'll stop re-editing your edits? I don't imagine that the paper work is that bad. *wink* --Day 20:36, 31 December 2005 (EST)
- You're right. In fact, it will probably be worse. The Concision Fairy is now a Concision Deity. :) --Spencerian 10:59, 1 January 2006 (EST)
- Hah! Hahaha! Indeed. Heh. --Day 20:13, 1 January 2006 (EST)
ROSE BOWL
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I hope you watched the game, man. Oh wow. I'm so jazzed I'll never go to sleep again, ever. Did you catch the statement Matt Leinart made after the game? I thought it was in bad taste, personally. Mack did the right thing, I think, in making appriciating USC's team the first order of business in his trophey speech. --Day 01:18, 5 January 2006 (EST)
- I watched the game, but I turned it off after the game itself was over. I'm sure I'll catch Leinart's comment later on tonight in an article or the like, but you might not get to read about the "You're wasting my time!" a USC fan said to that Texas defensive back leaving the field with a broken arm. --CalculatinAvatar 01:26, 5 January 2006 (EST)
- *jawdrop* Wasting his time? Jeez! That's... so classless. Anyway, Leinart said (a close paraphrase, here), "I still think we're the better team." I mean--I'll leave it open to possibility that, if we were to do best of three or five or something that USC might beat us more than we would beat them, but--honestly... How, based on that one meeting, can you say something so conclusive? Anyway, nice edit with the parenthasis removal over on the Galactica running tallies. --Day 01:52, 5 January 2006 (EST)
Challenge
I challenge someone to make a page at Template:List_of_templates that consists only of a redirect to http://battlestarwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&namespace=10 so that Help:Template can have its section 'List of Current Templates' replaced with an instance of that template. You could also find some other way to include the content of the specified page inline in Help:Template. --CalculatinAvatar 01:55, 6 January 2006 (EST)
- Take it up with the mediawiki people. This is an explicitly acknowleged limitation of lists vs. categories. --Peter Farago 02:06, 6 January 2006 (EST)
- So it's just impossible, then? That makes me feel better at failing to do it, I suppose. I thought the difficulty was in getting it to take the "namespace=10" argument while still being an internal link. I was sort of hoping there was some force-redirect (even to apparently "external" links) or cute way of getting a [[foo]]-style link with an argument delivered. --CalculatinAvatar 02:43, 6 January 2006 (EST)
