[edit]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)
- Well, either way, it is nice of you to put aside so much time in order to help newbies :). Blooded Edge Sign/Talk 19:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I replied on behalf of Addshore here, regards, —— RyanLupin • (talk) 17:04, 29 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. Its been a tough time, so sure, no hard feelings. I acknowledge the fact I should have provided a more specific link upon my first edit, but it was saved without much thinking involved.

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.

*Hamilton was given a 25 second + to his racing time demoting him to 3rd place gifting Felipe Massa the win 1. McLaren appealed with hard evidence 2. Timo Glock also recieved this penalty for overtaking under the yellow flag dropping him to ninth place out of the points.
*Heidfeld was demoted three places for blocking Barrichello en route to the pits. |

Your signature
[edit]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)

Hi
[edit]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?

Thanks for your help cleaning up the Plot section of that article! I wrote that section in one sitting to replace what was there before, and didn't notice all the errors and general awkward writing in it! —Politizer( talk • contribs ) 13:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I must admit, you did a good job cutting the section down. Beforehand, I was considering doing the same myself, for it just read like a storybook. Anyway, kudos to you. As for the plot now, should have spotted that the Temple of Pandora was not mentioned properly at first XD, thanks for fixing that. We should be able to expand it a bit more now, just to accomodate the little important snippets missed out :). Blooded Edge Sign/Talk 13:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

- Well the alien-orientated userboxes add to the effect, but the outer-spaceiness isn't obvious to spot. If you want to go for this theme, add some pictures of planets, or anyother beyond-earth entity. Blooded Edge Sign/Talk 18:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Navjot Singh
[edit]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
- Sorry, but you've posted this message on completely the wrong user's page. The man who you should actually be discussing this with, is RHaworth. Please sort this out with him, cheers. Blooded Edge Sign/Talk 17:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit]So why did you change you username any way, I never got around to ask. Juthani1 tcs 21:43, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, it was just a matter of preference really. I origionally intended my account to the be called "The Prodigy", but that was already taken. The "A" didn't really suit me much. When I used to play RuneScape, I remember my friend's account being called "Blooded Edge", and thought to myself, 'How cool is that?' So yeah, thats how it all came to being :).

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 Edgeawards 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 Edgeawards 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 Edgeawards 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 Edgeawards 21:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not at all, not at all. My watchlist is 500 articles by now, so i cannot really count on that working :) Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 21:24, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:Welcome Cabal
[edit]Well, here's how you can make it so it's very easy to welcome:
- Go to "my preferences" tab
- Go to Gadgets
- 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.--LAAFansign review 02:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

SO NOW, SO WoW
[edit]Fashion Can Be Such A Grind
[edit]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.

[edit]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 Edgeawards 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)

- See the above section regarding my response to your Games link. As for this show you want to put on with me, Chamal and yourself, I really don't think I have any time to do so. All my coursework, homework assignments and etc are really starting to pile up now, I can't afford to spend much time on here. I'll be taking a sort of wiki-break in the meanwhile, popping back for 10 mins or so every day, but that is the most I can do. Sorry, but I really can't work miracles here. If you guys can carry on for 8 months or so without me, that would be much appreciated. Blooded Edgeawards 19:19, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks! I can truly say I did not see this coming! To be honest, the point of barnstars is not to give them out, expecting some in return, but I'll go through your contributions, see what may fit you best, and get back to you in a bit. Again, thanks.

- Yea, I just can't seem to design a signature which I can keep for more than a few weeks. Meh, at least all this code editing makes me more familiar with the format, so the only loss really is time =).
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
[edit]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)
- Yes, I have that font, and I will match the color as well as I can.

- I've applied it to your userpage (sorry if this is perceived as an intrusion).
- Simply change the px number after the pipeline (this | ) and you're all set. :D
- Oh, and I have your page watchlisted. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 17:42, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

- Don't kid yourself. :D :D :D —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:17, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Then I assume you don't mind if I continue to place them on your page? Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 19:33, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Of course not. I was afraid it was a hassle for you. :) —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Userpage Award
[edit]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. If you wish to give this award to someone, may I suggest User:Scheinwerfermann? While his user page is simple, he has set it up to show other editors with guidelines and has been very helpful.--Flash176 (talk) 21:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ah shame, still, keep the award for its sentimental value. I had a look at Scheinwerfermann's page, and while I admit it is helpful for new users, I (due to shallowness or whatever) don't think it fits the criteria for the userpage award. However, if you want to give him a Special barnstar for his good faith, feel free to :). Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 17:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I took AP Government, English, Chemistry and the exam for U.S. History (again, we didn't have the class)......
- I got lucky though—this year, the year after I left, they got rid of ALL of the advanced classes...not even joking. No AP anything, no "Advanced English grade # here", no PRE-CALC (only Algebra III!!).....the most advanced class in the school right now is probably Chemistry II...sad...sure, there are online courses, but...it's not the same. —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 18:59, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

- BTW, what was this discussion about, again...? —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

- Spittle: it was an example...I don't think that that could be solved without a LOT of work far beyond algebra. :)
- Pianista: You can't. 0/2 = 0, but 2/0 is "undefined". (How many times does 2 go into 0? Well, uh, um...) And Edge, you can never get anything other than that. =)
- Good question. :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 19:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

you guys haven't answered my question yet... Are my jokes lame? Anyway I'm more of an vocab whiz, starting from 3rd grade my average grade for vocabulary is 100% if you don't believe me ask me a question (unless the word's harder then 8th grade!)--Spittlespat! ǀ T ♦ C ♦ S 19:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Here it is:
- You jokes are lame only if you think they are lame.
- Psyche!
- And vocab question:
- "Use omniscience in a sentence."
- But I don't know if I'll respond soon - gotta study/work/practice, etc. —La Pianista (T•C•S) 19:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
you're using this vocab word to insult me huh? Doesn't it mean to know everything liek the universe and stuff? Um... The religious kid had omniscience Close enough?--Spittlespat! ǀ T ♦ C ♦ S 19:47, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- wait a second doesn't omniscience mean someone that thinks they know anything?--Spittlespat! ǀ T ♦ C ♦ S 19:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- 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)

- 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)

(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)

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

- 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)

(←) 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)
