Hello.

From your userpage, you seem intriguing. Btw, if you need any help with anything, feel free to come to me first. I don't have all the answers, but I know who does. Gooniepunk2010 Oi! Oi! Oi! 05:35, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Hmm I agree there. Former Neo-con? Interesting....are you Francis Fukuyama? Aceof Spades 06:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


No. In fact I do not know who that is. I was basically raised by puritans: no tv(except cheesey old movies), no internets, and nothing to listen to but talk radio and jazz. Transferring to public school was a major shock, I assure you--Tyrannis (talk) 00:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys

I'm studying Russian in college, and will be adding a few Russian political articles. Please, please clean them up, I'm still unfamiliar with wiki software, and can't do links. Fact checking by any Russian speakers would be appreciated, I've only got 1 semester done, so I'm getting most of the data from English language sites. Tyrannis (talk) 15:33, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Casting you into the depths......

For your good service you are being rewarded punished. Here is your guide book to the depths.. Acei9 19:30, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok... Thank you... I guess. Tyrannis (talk) 15:49, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Of interest?

Question

I know a person who is into herbal medicine, meditation, and other woo, but also watches only Fox, and has a sort of crush on O'Reilly and Beck. And they are also an environmentalist, and for strong corporate accountability. What category would this person be in? Tyrannis (talk) 14:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Michael Savage? TKEtoolshedFrag Out! 14:48, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Sadly, this is my "saner" grandmother. Tyrannis (talk) 14:49, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Political Compass

Just took it... I am surprised. Tyrannis (talk) 14:40, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Never take that too seriously. The test was designed so one UK political party came off ultraconservative. TKEtoolshedFrag Out! 14:46, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Yeah... It lists me as far left... Nolan chart listed me a libertarian-right. Methinks there is an error in the system Tyrannis (talk) 14:48, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
I think Nolan is the one designed to make everyone a libertarian? ħumanUser talk:Human 18:27, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Indeed, everyone who I have gotten to take it is libertarian, except my brother and one grand mother, who were totalitarian. Tyrannis (talk) 13:19, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Ideas

I am contemplating writing an essay about how my political affiliation changedTyrannis (talk) 00:09, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Go for it. We love essays. Just title it "Essay:xxnnnyyzzz" and write it. If you want to work on it before going live, put it at User:Tyrannis/xxnnnyyzzz and then move it to the essay space when you're ready for prime time. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:43, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

And now I am taking my duties as janitor seriously and trying to improve pages linking to each other. Tyrannis (talk) 19:08, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Links

Holy crap, you are all over the place with the links today. Nice work! Tetronian you're clueless 19:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Trying to make myself useful. Tyrannis (talk) 19:38, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
the Prophecy of the Bluelinks:"And it came to pass that all text in the articles was bluelinks. And every article linked to every other article like computers in a mesh topology. And there was much rejoicing. For lo, when that day came, Conservapedia's server was overcame by fire and water. And the people of the internets rejoiced for the wingnuts were defeated and there was much rejoicing. And then the people feasted on goat, and seakittens, and pie. And it was good."— Unsigned, by: Tyrannis / talk / contribs
Yes, great work on the links.  :-) --BobIt's windy! 20:25, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Thank you.Tyrannis (talk) 20:27, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Done for the day. Question, should I link to an article more than once per article, there doesn't seem to be a standard.Tyrannis (talk) 21:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
You should like the first usage. If it is a long article then you could link again at another significant point - but only if it is quite a long article. I must admit that I thought we had this instruction somewhere, but I can't find it now.--BobIt's windy! 21:22, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Cookie half.jpg For demonstrating exemplary goatery in the line of duty, Concernedresident
has awarded you a used pre-owned! and slightly stale cookie.
Ewwwwwww.
Cockroaches ate half of it.
I mentioned it in the talk page for Human's Manual of style. I agree with Bob. First use, and only link again if it seems particularly significant. Thanks for all the linky stuff. --ConcernedresidentAsk me about your mother 21:34, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
I added it before I set it loose to fend for itself. Also added not to link in headers. One thing that sometimes irks me is when something that is linked in an article is also in "see also" - might make sense on long article for "major" see also, but other wise it's just redundant. Anyway, nice work all around, Tyrannis! PS, I like my new lappie + wireless KB & mouse... ħumanUser talk:Human 03:13, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Skool

Former Louisianian here. Where did/do you go to school? I graduated from LaTech back in the ancient days of 2004.--MJMelcher (talk) 21:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

LSU. in 2004 I was in High School. Tyrannis (talk) 14:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Published

? enlarge please. No need for exact details, but book, magazine article, thesis - etc etc? 18:26, 25 August 2010 (UTC) SusanG Toast

Computer Magazine August 2010, page 95. I was the undergrad assistant. Tyrannis (talk) 18:33, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Amphibian image

Erm, the reason the image doesn't display is because that file doesn't exist on RW. Is it one of your own files that you need to upload? DeltaStarSenior SysopSpeciationspeed! 14:25, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I'll try that. Tyrannis (talk) 14:25, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
RW is good, but it doesn't (yet) have automatic access to your harddrive. DeltaStarSenior SysopSpeciationspeed! 14:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
No, I was reading the image help file, and it said we had access to WM Commons, were the image was.Tyrannis (talk) 14:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
It's good to add a caption when you add images. Simple as "Senator Rick Santorum" iz enuf. Thanks, and nice work. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:24, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

editcount =/= measure of usefulness

Just look at my editcount. -- Nx / talk 18:22, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

That is why it is under useless notes. :) TyrannisAn Iron, but caring, fist 19:10, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
And you are #8(2nd if you count NxBot). And as you have server access, I'd say you are very useful indeed. TyrannisAn Iron, but caring, fist 19:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
