I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~<nowiki>~</nowiki>~. Four tildes (~<nowiki>~</nowiki>~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- Graham ☺ | Talk 04:22, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. You will probably assure me that it is not possible, but I found the history empty when I asked the question at the help desk. They warned me at the beginning that some critics were mercilessPhil ^talk 12:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! Let me be the first to send you a "non-stock" greeting. :)

Welcome to Wikipedia! Working on stuff here has become one of my favorite hobbies; it's quite a bit of fun and, yes, it can be quite addictive. As you've probably noticed, we are in serious need of a lot of small edits - especially those birthdate/date of death/year pages. I've added literally thousands of them, and there are hundreds of thousands more to do. Currently, I'm going through all the NFL teams and cleaning up those hundreds of player articles and getting their info on the date/year pages as well. Whatever assistance you can provide with any biography articles (or on anything else) is always appreciated. :)

As far as the Vermont Teddy Bear Company article goes, I can't remember what prompted me to create that one - I think I was reading something on the Vermont page, maybe. I just figured that a company like that really needs an article (it truly is a fine company - great products). Feel free to update the article with any additional information you have. (Be bold!) I mostly culled info from the company's web site, so you'll likely have access to more information that I ever will - don't hesitate to update and add more to that article.

So, I hope you enjoy Wikipedia. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to let me know - I'll try and point you in the right direction.

Have fun! R<small>ADICAL</small>B<small>ENDER</small><small>★</small> 04:17, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)

No, no! Certainly not. He was intriguing and I thought the encyclopedia merited more about him. I've removed the expansion tag, but it's still a stub - which is nothing to be ashamed of. Most Wikipedia articles right now, I'd reckon, are stubs. It just means there's a good room to grow.

Could you transfer some knownledge from the book to the fart fetishism page? It seems that my purpose in Wikipedia is to make articles perfect just before they get deleted. ;-) Feel free to remove this message after you've read it. Thanks for your attention. --Easyas12c 17:49, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hiya! Funnily enough, I never remember how to use those tags either, and every time I want to, I end up poking around looking for the instructions again. ;-) But, here they are! See Template talk:Imdb title for the instructions for the tag for movies, and Template talk:Imdb name for the tag for actors and other movie personnel. —Stormie 08:50, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

I heard the "ads weren't shown much in Maryland/Washington D.C." thing last night on NPR's "Marketplace". Guess they were wrong? Maybe I'll do a bit of research on it this weekend... Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. Dismas 20:36, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Not a problem! I commented them out because I clearly remember seeing them on TV growing up in Rockville, Maryland and when i lived in Takoma Park, Maryland. We used to spoof them in school, the "it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken" line became common use. If however you can show statistics that state they were shown less often than elsewhere, I'd agree to putting them back. But it definately should be mentioned they were aired in MD/DC/VA areas.  <font color="#FA8605">ALKIVAR</font>™ 20:48, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I put the succession boxes on the Playmates because I felt they should use them. As for creating a page for every Playmate, I might or I might not. Or maybe someone else will eventually. Or maybe they'll stay red just like the succession boxes on the NHL seasons have stayed red... 10qwerty 07:46, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed 10qwerty's wikilinks to all the Playmates on the List of people in Playboy 2000-Present. I had an article on Miss Novemer 2001, Stephanie Heinrich, that was put up for deletion the same day I composed it. (See the VfD discussion here.) Would you be willing to support a vote for undeletion if we are going to wikilink all the Playmates? PedanticallySpeaking 16:43, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

Just noticed that you've expanded on the Playmate info box that 10qwerty was putting on Playmate's pages. I thought I might make a suggestion... It might help if you put at the top of the box, or right below the picture, the fact that it's associated with their appearance in Playboy. For instance, Jenny McCarthy's box starts out with "October 1993". Without saying that she was in Playboy in Oct. of '93 it doesn't have any relevance to the average reader. And then the preceded by and succeded by info would have more relevance as well. Just a thought... Dismas 21:16, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your absolutely right so I've changed "Month" to "Playboy Centerfold Appearance". Jester2001 21:31, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering if you were going to expand on the Boy Scouts of America rank pages you created. It seems like if you intended them to stay the way they are now, a list would have been better. Why have 6-7 pages when one would do? Dismas 20:22, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, being a scout myself rank insignias and rank itself has deep meaning and requirements. I think they each can be a page as there is enough material. I am trying to write uniform articles. Eagle rank was writtrn before I starte dthis. Currently I am working on images. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 20:26, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I was a Scout in days past, made Eagle too, so I understand what you mean about the personal meaning. I was just curious if you intended to expand them. I just didn't see the point if they were basically just image placeholders. If you want any help with anything, let me know. Dismas 20:36, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We can work together to write about the rank isings and ranks. It has been a while I had been a scout. :/ --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 20:44, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion to contacting Jeff's manager to see how to get an email address, now I need to know how to contact the manager. Is there a web site to do that? I guess I am going to keep at this until I get what I need. Thanks.

Well, I'd try going to his web site first of all. Then scroll all the way down and follow the link for the web designer. Ask them if they have some contact info for J.F.'s management and go from there. Dismas 12:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dismas,

Please let me know what I should do now?? Shall I re-write the article once again? If yes, give me a weeks time.

Dear user Dismas, as I have seen a edition of yours at the article Rosicrucian, I come to request your support to this article that I have just purposed for nomination at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#Rosicrucian. May you may give a look into it? And, if you consider it acceptable, then may you support it? Thank you! :) --GalaazV 02:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OnCarla Gugino you commented "I'd like to see where it says not to link the film names in two different sections since pretty much every other actor bio I've read here does the same thing". If you refer to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(links)#Internal_links the third item in the list tells us "An article may be considered overlinked if any of the following is true: * a link is repeated within the same screen" which clearly this was (and now, again). It also makes it more difficult on link changes for an editor to track each one if an article has multiple links to the same other page. Re "every other actor bio", btw, two wrongs do not make a right ! (and if I come across such pages I delete the overlinking there too). Rgds --Vamp:Willow 14:04, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

On two occasions (edit summary[1] and AFD[2]) you've called a baby a "demon baby". Personal insults are a violation of wikipedia's requirement to be WP:CIVIL. I don't think its possible to actually hate a baby you don't know, so I'll assume this was a "joke" (a bad joke), and kindly ask you to not to do it again. --rob 06:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, I edited International Talk Like a Pirate Day by removing the wikilink on the second mention of September 19. I see it as over-wikification. You re-wikified it to "allow date preferences to work". You cited Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) as justification. I don't see where it says that every instance of the same date need be linked just to allow for date preferences to work. Could you point out this part of the guideline? Thanks, Dismas|^(talk) 20:54, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My cite was a shorthand explanation of the feature; I hadn't bumped into you before, and didn't know whether you were familiar with it. I was tired when editing and had not noticed that the same date was already linked earlier in the paragraph as well. While there's something to be said for consistency - someone who has his date preference set shouldn't see "19 September" right next to "September 19" - on a second reading, the extra date is redundant and I have removed it. Is this acceptable? —Cryptic (talk) 08:35, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That'll work! Dismas|^(talk) 09:03, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Are you aware that listing schools for deletion is about the most controversial thing one can do on Wikipedia? Are you aware of Wikipedia:Schools, which states that one should refrain from listing schools on AfD, and instead should be bold and merge short stubs. If you object to schools in general please add your comments to Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments, rather than wasting everyone's time with yet another AfD on the subject. - SimonP 13:21, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I was slightly aware of some possible controversy but didn't feel it was a scarlet letter kind of thing. Thanks for the Wikipedia:Schools link. I hadn't seen that one. I'll read it over. Thanks for your opinion. Dismas|^(talk) 13:33, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dismas - be aware the discussion at Wikipedia:Schools is most certainly not an implemented Wikipedia policy, and is not likely to ever be. Proto t c 15:38, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Please refrain from listing any more schools for Afd until you have seen the reaction to your current bulk nomination. Kappa 13:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• The large list of schools on AfD is very suspicious. It looks like you may be making a WP:POINT. Several of the schools you've nominated have substantial, well-written articles which describe notable features of those schools. I suggest that you try to work towards a consensus on Wikipedia:Schools instead of pursuing this campaign any further. Pburka 14:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• The mass nomination of schools, without any consideration, without any reading, with copy/paste reasoning, is totally an abuse of the AFD process. The small time you spent on each school, forces others to spend many times more time, to consider each school, one-at-time. Some respect should be shown for the time of others. I don't like supporting every little elementary stub, but I also don't have the time to read every absurd baseless nomination either, and examine each school individually. Please consider *contributing* to wikipedia. The appropriate thing to do here, is de-list these nominations, and start trying to build a consensus for school inclusion policy. --rob 14:49, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Don't listen to them, Dismas. What you did was awesome, and really needed to be done. Have a barnstar. Proto t c 15:35, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• If by awesome you mean remarkable, then yes, this was quite a remarkable disruption of Wikipedia. Showing a total disregard for historical consensus on settled deletion discussions and copy-paste deletionism is not something that should ever be encouraged. Bahn Mi 21:54, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Violation of consensus

Please see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Nautilus Middle School. It was already decided to keep this school, by consenus. Now, are you going to keep make mass-deletion request of the same schols, over-and-over again, and until they are removed? It's bad enough dealing with this once for countless schools, but apparently, it's your intent to keep nominating every school, again and again, until it's gone, regardless of past agreement, and regardless of substantial content. --rob 15:15, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Please do not disrupt Wikipedia in order to make a WP:POINT. Also it would be appreciated if you would withdraw your nomination of Nautilus Middle School from AfD -- it was already decided by strong consensus that this particular article should be kept. Bahn Mi 21:51, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit more complex than that. Until recently, there was a truce – not consensus, that requires agreement of some sort – not to nominate highschools, as those would attract much debate, which would end with no consensus to delete. K-8 schools were considered fair game and often enough ended deleted if the article was too poor.

This changed when a group of editors aggressively tried to keep entries on elementary schools and grade 5-9 schools, on the basis of "it's a school", with quick "improvements" culled from a Google search thrown in. The point has been made successfully, fronts have hardened, reflexive voting is taking place on both sides, and with the mechanics of AfD ("no consensus" defaulting to keep) the contentious entries are kept.

Much would be won if we could get back to judging the quality of the entry, something that I can't see happening. Pilatus 23:41, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I emplore you not to be intimidated by the trolls that live in the school. You are quite right to list cruft for deletion, and only a year ago it would probably have been speedy deleted. Unfortunately this group has managed to intimidate middle of the road users into not voting and organising votes to keep crap. Dunc|☺ 22:43, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Normally I would disagree, however it appears that there is intimidation going on here at this very page. Please refrain from telling him not to list schools for deletion as that could be construed as being against policy.Gateman1997 23:30, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• People are free to edit Wikipedia however they see fit, as long as it is within policy. What you did was within policy, despite what the rather rude fellows trying to browbeat you into being a good little boy may say. Nominating a big bunch of articles for deletion if you believe they are cruft is perfectly acceptable. Not only is it acceptable, it is awesome. Proto t c 08:43, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As I'm sure you've seen, there are kneejerk reactions on both sides to every school nomination. I personally think that there isn't much merit to documenting the school colors and principal of every brick and mortar node in a school district. However, they rarely get killed on AfD, and there is a better solution: simply merge the school stub into an article on its parent school district. Usually there really won't be much to merge beyond the name and the grades it serves, so the job should go pretty quick, but may require a little research into the basic facts of the district. Further AfDs are going to be futile; appropriate merging does not require a prior discussion and is the best way to deal with such content. Postdlf 06:11, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The fair use tag for magazine covers state that magazine covers should only be used "to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question". Also many of the covers fail to be fair use as they are most certainly not "low-resolution". Evil Monkey∴Hello 07:33, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Please see the note I have just left on your talk page as to what I consider to be your error on this point. As for the ones that are not low-resolution, please point these out to me and I would be more than happy to decrease their size. Removing them doesn't accomplish this. Postdlf 07:40, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I originally created most of the elementary school articles on this page. I did it before I knew there was such a controversy with school articles and once I found this out I stopped, but since I'm not a sysop I couldn't delete them. The main reason I stopped was because the project to create these articles is so massive I'd rather just not have to do it. Thus, I support your deletion of the elementary school articles though I'm abstaining from voting. I do want to know though if you believe that high school articles should be kept as well? Also, should I create middle schools articles, or just leave them as a list? What about Magnet high Schools, adult education centers, alternative schools, charter schools, etc? I don't really believe these articles are schoolcruft because they are linked to the district's article and are daughter articles of it. Also, I didn't create them out of personal interest, I just didn't want 300+ red links on the district page. I'm not yet done with the high school articles, but I want to know if anyone would object to them or not? I would be against deleting the high school articles as I do think High Schools are notable, but I don't want to deal with 31-39 AfDs one day. What do you think? PRueda29 01:49, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

First off, sorry it's taken so long to get back to you on this. Secondly, I don't have an opinion on magnet schools, adult education centers, etc. I just haven't thought about them. As far as the elementary schools go, I just don't feel that having an article for each school that is going to remain a stub is suitable. To me it's like characters from a popular television show like The Simpsons or movies like Star Wars. The show/movies themselves are notable and should have articles but the minor characters can very easily be summed up in lists. I think that the whole is greater than its parts. The Miami Dade County school system is a worthwhile inclusion but to have an article about every little school in it doesn't seem worthwhile. Take one of the schools at random, you just have a name, school colors, address, enrollment date, and principal's name. To me, that's a yellow pages entry basically. But if you take all those articles and put them into a list a user can see just how vast the school system is by the number of items. The stubs are just too microscopic of a view. As far as high schools are concerned, I know I'm not going to win the fight to limit their articles but again, I'm going to have to say that most are not notable enough to have their own article unless maybe you wanted to include info on their sports teams and the number of state titles they have won in their particular sport. Columbine High School could have an article based on the fact that a major event in the lives of several hundred people took place there. Information could be written about like how the school has changed since the shooting, what new policies were put into place, and the social repurcussions from what happened. But Columbine H.S., to me, is the exception, not the rule. But then I'm just a guy in front of a keyboard. I hope this all made sense and if you'd like to discuss it more, I'd be happy to do that. Dismas|(talk) 03:19, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, this is what I'm planning as of now: I'm going to wait and see what happens with the articles for AfD (thats why I haven't been working much on it lately). Once that's all resolved I'm going to move all the schools into separate articles (ex. List of Elementary Schools in Miami-Dade County, Florida... or smth to that effect). Then, I'm going to make the high schools and magnet high school articles because I believe in them (plus, the one that's up for AfD is surviving pretty well). If the articles survive, I'm just going to leave them there and not bother making any new ones (I'll let others do that). Then, I'm going to update the district page with like all the stuff listed on the todo page on its talk page. It should take me maybe two months. PRueda29 03:38, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

At the help desk, I asked for general info on the stub-adding. You had to mention my article. I never handed that information over to you and I never wanted you to reveal what I wrote. You obviously have no respect for privacy. The question is why? Why are you being so spiteful?--Screwball23 22:32, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

hi, I see you've been adding the Vermont template to the bottom of all the Vermont towns. The template and all the 251 towns it includes seems a bit unwieldy. Since there is already a towns in Vermont page, I was thinking it might be more useful and usable to link to this page rather than include links to all the towns. I'm sort of new here so I'm not sure what the process is for revising temnplates (wasn't sure if it was a good place to be bold or not) and figured I'd run it by you first. Thoughts? (unsigned question posted by User:Jessamyn)

I was really just being bold myself by adding the template. I had some extra time at work and was going in alphabetical order. I saw it on the page for Burlington but not on other town pages. I didn't know why it was on one but not the others and after having checked the template's dicussion page and finding that there wasn't a guideline as to "when to use the template", I decided that I'd just put it on the rest of the town pages. I kind of prefer the template to just a "See also:" section since I think it gives the page a bit more of a grand and/or official feel. In general, I prefer graphs, charts, templates, and infoboxes over just plain text. These are just my thoughts though.

Also, in order to sign your comments on talk pages and such, please put four tildes (e.g. ~~~~) at the end of your comment. This makes it easier for people know who messages are coming from. Dismas|^(talk) 20:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

great thanks, I may try to make the template a little tighter, but I agree, having it at the bottom of the town pages is really a great way to bring all the Vermont towns together. Jessamyn 21:06, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So, if Billie is bisexual, then why does the article sound as thought he is bi, but he has never engaged in sexual acts with guy???

I don't quite follow what you mean but I'll answer what I think you meant. A person can be bi or even gay but never have had sexual relations with a person of the same gender as themselves. It's like if you were to ask a boy who had never even kissed a girl in his life if he was straight. If he likes girls and finds them sexually attractive then he would consider himself to be heterosexual or "straight". Would you say that he's not straight since he's never even kissed a girl? So now you're asking me how Billie can be bisexual if he's never had sexual relations (as of the writing of that article at least) with a guy. Do you see my point? So, since he's said, "I think I’ve always been bisexual", the article reflects that. Dismas|^(talk) 22:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet. I brought my camera down one day last week and went out about 10:00 AM but the sign was not turned on yet (it is not very colorful when off). I'll get to it within the next week, though. -- DS1953 ^talk 16:55, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I took some pictures today and uploaded three of them. See Talk:The Berghoff (restaurant) for my thoughts. -- DS1953 ^talk 04:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dismas has earned a Cernen's Plusbox for finding a rather blatant error on my userpage that's been there the whole time without me even knowing it.

He added more images with misleading copyright information today. I have blocked him for 24 hours. I'll keep an eye on his future contributions. --GraemeL ^(talk) 13:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
