Branddobbe, Se-þe Leof Morris Is, Ginn Gretaþ

Hey, I know you. You're Djinn from RinkWorks. This is Morris. I didn't know you were on Wikipedia. How's it going? -Branddobbe 02:36, Jan 23, 2004 (UTC)

I'm doing OK. The spring semester starts next Monday. I'm not ready for it, of course, but it does start later than all my friends', so that's goOH SHIT I NEED TO BUY BOOKS Branddobbe 03:23, Jan 23, 2004 (UTC)

Branddobbe Ascaþ Of Þæm "Mike Doughty" Ond "M. Doughty" Pistolum Ginnes

Whoa. What's up with the Mike Doughty / M. Doughty pages? They both redirect to each other. -Branddobbe 23:08, Feb 1, 2004 (UTC)

Branddobbe Ascaþ Of Spyrienne Ginnes

Do you have my Contributions page on your Watchlist or something? Because I always see you coming up along after I do something. (This isn't an attack or a criticism or anything. I'm just wondering.) -Branddobbe 01:48, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

Oh. OK. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think you can put a contributions page on your watchlist. Oh well. -Branddobbe 01:59, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

Branddobbe Kann Kein Altenglisch

I like your new talk page design. I know this isn't really worth a talk page comment but I don't care. Hey, check it out, I changed mine too. Plays don't have eleven acts. -Branddobbe 04:40, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

Rossami Ginne Be Þæm "Kelsey Grammer" Pistole Ascaþ

Good morning. I noticed that you added a lot of date links on the Kelsey Grammer article. I am curious what your thoughts were for adding date links around what appear to be very minor events (such as marriage or divorce years). Is that a path that you personally follow when reading other articles? Looking forward to your thoughts. Rossami 15:12, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment back. I'm not going to search out any particular pages just to delink years, but I do tend to delink the minor ones if I'm editing a page for another reason. The excessive links make if very hard for me to read the page. (Perhaps a sign that I need new glasses.) I only delink, though, on my assumption that the links are excessive. The rule of thumb I use is leave date-links for births, deaths and historical events that I'd want to see on a high-level timeline. If you see a positive value to more year or month links, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Rossami 20:19, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Isomorfic Of "Redirects" To Þæm Pistole "Kahless" Ascaþ Ginn

Just out of curiousity, what's with all the redirects from every possible mispelling of Kahless? Seems like overkill for a relatively minor Trek character. Isomorphic 03:41, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

OK. Makes more sense now. :-) Isomorphic 03:51, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Gim F. Blic Atelaþ Ginne Of Lyftfleogenda Namum

Please read the Wikipedia conventions on naming birds. Species are fully capitalised, with an American style lower case redirect, and scientific names always have the genus capitalised, but not the species. jimfbleak 07:13, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Larry Gilbert Be Tweoum Of Cierrum Æt Þæm Pistole "Escape From Noise" Ginne Atelaþ

Hello, Djinn. I noticed the changes to Escape From Noise. I have some concerns, so I started a discussion at Talk:Escape From Noise rather than cluttering up your page here. :-) Thanks. —LarryGilbert 21:38, 2004 Mar 6 (UTC)

Nifara, Se-þe Cræftas 66.245.6.69 Hafaþ, Of "Hawkeye" Ginne Gielaþ

You make too many re-directs to Hawkeye! That is a waste of time! -- 66.245.6.69 26:10, Mar 6, 2004 (UTC)

B. Corr Ginne Atelaþ Of "Redirects" To Þæm Pistole Bioerca Guðmundsdottira

Greetings Djinn112 -- I think that the number of redirects you're creating is ... um ... perhaps more than is necessary. Just a friendly note that people may start deleting them without much regard for which ones are most useful. Thanks, BCorr ¤ Брайен 03:17, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Djinn -- thanks for your note. It's not an evil thing, and it doesn't take up too much room, but there should be a pretty good likelihood that someone would search for a variaation. "Lyndon Baines Johnson" for "Lyndon Johnson" seems pretty likely; and even Bjork, Bjoerk, and Björk make a lot of sense, but IMHO matching each of those with each of Guthmundsdottir, Gudhmundsdottir, Gudmundsdottir, Guðmundsdottir, Guthmundsdóttir, Gudhmundsdóttir, Gudmundsdóttir and Guðmundsdóttir is excessive. It seems like very few people are going to look up a uncommon transliterations of edh as possible variations on her surname, and Icelandic is a small enough language community that no one who speaks it would have any question about how to spell it. And almost any English speaker will probably just stick with Bjork.

I guess ultimately I'd just say that people will feel like you're not serious about Wikipedia and will be less likely to assume good faith. And since we're all volunteers here, people make decisions based on their best guess about people's intentions and seriousness (i.e. is this edit for real?) about what they do.

In case you haven't seen it, visit Wikipedia:Redirect. It doesn't give any hard and fast rules, but I may be helpful. -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 03:59, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)

No problem. And have you been to the Latin Vikipædia -- I think you'll like it too. -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 04:37, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)

Marc Redmond Ginn Of Þæm Leoðe "Plastic Jesus" Atelaþ

Just want to clear this up, "******" is a cover of the song "Plastic Jesus" from Cool Hand Luke. It was called "******" on the back of the album and on the disc, but was refered to in the booklet (transcribed from the copy in front of me): "All songs written by the Flaming Lips, published by ... except 9 * "Song From Cool Hand Luke" - Plastic Jesus"

It wasn't on the soundtrack of the film (presumably there wasn't a soundtrack), it was played/sung by the title character during the film.

The Flaming Lips have never explained why the didn't just call it "Plastic Jesus" or "The Song From Cool Hand Luke"

I'm not sure whether this is important enough to be added to entry, or if there might be a better way of putting it. Perhaps replace "also known as" with "cover of" ? I'm new, learning.

Markredmond 11:52, Mar 11, 2004

Okay, nice to get that sorted. Sorry for not tagging my previous comment, you realised it was me anyway,, so no harm done :)

Hey, I was just wondering, do you have AIM? -Branddobbe 04:40, Mar 14, 2004 (UTC)

Huh. OK. I've always liked Trillian. Well, except it's being a skanky little bitch to me lately. I should probably upgrade. At any rate, if you ever want to IM me, I have the same AIM name as my Wikipedia user name.

Hello Djinn! Thanks for being alert with respect to copyright violations. However, if you spot them, you need to tag them with a correct boilerplate text, which goes like:

Hi there,

Thanks for correcting the POV and formatting errors on the various album pages that I created or contributed to. I appreciate it. Also, what's up with the naming format for headings on this page?

Hefæstos Be For-hwon Gearu Leas Pistola Ne Beoþ Gebunden Atelaþ Ginne

Thought I ought to be more specific about what I wrote earlier; it's not the Starfleet ship names that are "vandal magnets" but rather the year/decade entries; we've had a lot of problems in the past with people coming by and writing things like "3487 - Evel Eprur Zurg blows Buzzes hed of! Haha!" We had a sort of loose consensus on VfD a few months ago to avoid redlinking years and decades unless there's an article. - Hephaestos|§ 20:21, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

W. Wuds Ginn Atelaþ Of Andgiete His Be Þæm Pistole "Constitution class" Steorrascipa

The trouble with making links out of all the names is that most of the live links lead to pages outside the Star Trek universe, so the links are misleading. You could make pages for each ship, as has been done for the Starship Enterprise, the Enterprise-A, and the USS Defiant, but since nothing much is known about the others, why not put the information right there on Constitution class starship?

e.g.

USS Constellation (NCC 1017)
- Named for USS Constellation. Lost on Stardate ####
  (episode 2.06, "The Doomsday Machine")

Gonaþþan Muny Be Þæm Scipe "Timescape" Inn Ond Of Hu To Writenne Angelspræc Ascaþ

Hello again,

Nice work on the individal Starship_classes pages. You're filling in the gaps amazingly quickly. I have a question about the Danube class starship. Is this the class of runabout that was seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Timescape? If so, do you know the identity of the ship that appeared in that episode?

Also, how do you translate Old English (or are you fluent in it)?

Acegikmo1 23:37, Mar 20, 2004 (UTC)

Hmmmm..at the STARTREK.COM Article on Runabout, it is said that "An unidentified ship of this class ferried Captain Picard, Lieutenant Commander Data, Geordi and Counselor Troi back to the Starship Enterprise to find it temporally frozen alongside a Romulan warbird on stardate 46682.4." Do you think it is worth it to inlclude this information on the Danube class starship page?

Branddobbe Geanþingaþ To An Ascunge Fingernæglum Bi Ond Þæm Cennesgretingworde Ginnes

No, the stuff at things walking out is different from my previous site, although I did have it on there in a subfolder. I don't believe I ever had anything from the design scheme (traces of your fingernails) on the front page of my old site. (By the way, there is a "real" index on the site with links to such gems as a random-Javascript-text-runner Rock Paper Scissors game, and a very meager Star Trek reviews section. AIM me for more info if you'd like; my AIM name is the same as my Wikipedia name.)

Also, thank you for the birthday greetings.

Gilgamescus Jinni Dicet Vestimentorum Jacqui In Fabella Televisiontis Samurai Jack

If you've seen most of the shows, you'd know about this. In fact, the sight of Samurai Jack in his underwear is just as well known as the sight of Jack in his gi. There's a lot of exposed skin in the series, though it's all done tastefully. I'm going to readd the comment, but also add how it's valued fan service to many (mostly women) who watch the show. I mean, just take a look at the SJ fan sites run by people old enough to vote. - 21:56, 30 June 2004 (UTC) Gilgamesh
