Hello Civic Cat. Have a fishing cat on me. WẽãšẽĩõĩďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 21:17, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. Just where were my manners all this time.  :-D  Civic Cat (talk) 19:23, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Again, thanks. Thanks to all.  :-)  Civic Cat (talk) 19:23, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] category:articles that might not further the RW mission

Already exists. Picon small.pngLiquid Blue 19:27, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

We'll be here all day if you want to tag things with that. We have {{mission}} for that. Scarlet A.pngnarchist 19:28, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Even better. Thanks, Armondikov. (I'm only doing to others what was done to me).  :-D  Civic Cat (talk) 19:33, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Mission

Hey, just so you know, we have a {{mission}} template that also auto-cats articles with the already made category:articles that might not further the RW mission. ThunderkatzHo! 19:28, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Blue van Meer and Thunderkatz. I'll use it for now. :-)Civic Cat (talk) 19:30, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Cool :) Also, I'd just like to point this out before you go too crazy with it: From out Community Standards page: "RationalWiki is not a general encyclopedia; it does not require articles on every known subject. However, the wiki's mainspace welcomes many articles that do not relate to the primary missions of RationalWiki providing that they are factually accurate and of interest to the community at large. These include articles on general science, historical events and important individuals throughout the world." Course, that's pretty vague and open to debate, but it's still something to keep in mind. ThunderkatzHo! 19:34, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
All I know is that my articles tend to get huffed, and I figure I'd tag a few I consider less worthy, and your category with its "might not" leave further wiggle room. (At least I'm not huffing the articles I tage.)Civic Cat (talk) 19:37, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
A lot of these may well have been discussed before. Indeed, as you seem to be categorising a few general science articles, we've already had the discussion about whether to include such articles. Generally we keep them because they're interesting rather than their direct application to the mission. I.e., we can't really have a quantum woo article without a quantum physics article, for instance. Scarlet A.pngnarchist 19:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
And the RW lexicon is "vaped" not "huffed." Picon small.pngLiquid Blue 19:40, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Hmmmm. I'll give it some though.Civic Cat (talk) 19:40, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
(ECx100,000)Also worth noting that {{mission}} will automatically include that category and it won't appear as it is a maintenance category. It will still appear on category:articles that might not further the RW mission, however, which should be linked to from the template. Scarlet A.pngnarchist 19:41, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

[edit] you might wanna...

Consider going to a tech and getting yourself botted (if you're into that sort of thing). 17:48, 10 June 2011 (UTC) C®ackeЯ

How I would have loved to. ;-) Civic Cat (talk) 17:50, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Can you at least minor edit? You can make edits minor by default under Preferences -> Editing. ThunderkatzHo! 18:29, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Where's the article that would describe how I can do this?Civic Cat (talk) 18:32, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
The top of your page should have your name and links to things like your talkpage, your watchlist, and your contributions. Click the link that says "My preferences", then click the tab that says "Editing." Check the box that says "Mark all edits minor by default" and then click the save button at the bottom. ThunderkatzHo! 18:35, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll keep it in mind. But what if I want to be specific about my edits?Civic Cat (talk) 18:38, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
All it means is that the box marked "This is a minor edit" starts out checked, so if you're doing a bunch of minor edits, you don't have to check the box every time. If you have a non-minor edit in between, you can uncheck the box. Once you're done with your editing spree, you can go into preferences, and change it back so the box starts unchecked. ThunderkatzHo! 18:41, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I'll give it a try.Civic Cat (talk) 18:43, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I selected "Mark all edits minor by default", and saved; but in my next non-talk edit Fun:Cock, nothing showed up.Civic Cat (talk) 18:49, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Ameriwiki

It's on initial trial run, if you're interested.--Ameripedia (talk) 23:20, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Congradulations!--and so quick.  :-D  Civic Cat (talk) 19:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Don Cherry

The only person with that name worth talking about: P-Foster (talk) 17:43, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


Here here! and I'm interested in figuring out that embedding script you used.  :-D  Civic Cat (talk) 17:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

It's just everything after the "=" sign in the YT URL. P-Foster (talk) 17:51, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks.  :-)  Civic Cat (talk) 17:52, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] If you wanted me to fuck off, why didn't you just say so?

Maybe even permanently. (Whatta buncha stuck-ups!) Civic Cat    Talk to Civic Cat   22:59, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Yippie! I got blocked! The fascists have won again at RationalWiki!

I'll be back, perhaps in a few days, to kill off more of my creations; and then I'll leave this site. Civic Cat    Talk to Civic Cat   20:24, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Yup. We're such filthy communists. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 21:05, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, but that would indicate that you value them, and you assholes really don't want to do that! Civic Cat    Talk to Civic Cat   21:39, 5 April 2012 (UTC)



[edit] I’m baaaaack!

Aerosmith - Back in the Saddle
AC/DC-Back in Black(Funk Version)
Colin Stetson performs "The Righteous Wrath of an Honorable Man" in Studio Q
Colin Stetson performs "Judges" on Q

First off.
Sorry about getting angry a few months ago. Not very civil of me, huh. I’m wasn’t totally wrong in the disputes, but I’ll attempt to deal with the errors, or what I perceive to be errors, of others with reason and humour.

Second, I didn’t LANCB as I never quite said “I’m leaving and never coming back”: there is at least some wiggle room.

Third, my gratitude’s for the good other RW’ians have done for me, including tolerating errors and whatever (unwarranted) stubbornness on my part. I specifically name Ace and Weaseloid, who were the first to greet me; and of course Ace for the sysopery. Thanks to P-Foster for some tips. Even Ty’s okay. As for the article about me in RWW, I’ll comment on its (many) errors (maybe in a month or few).

I’ll soon restore the sub-page article I’ve spent the most time on here (in terms of editing at least). I’ll overhaul it later (likely replacing a few dead links and re-sectioning). On the deletionist-inclusionist debate, I tend towards the latter. I’ll check out the sub-pages of others to see how appropriate or inappropriate it is.

[edit] albinism

I noticed you created an article on albinism. As someone with the condition, I am curious as to what prompted you to create it? AMassiveGay (talk) 22:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I heard the radio program a week or so ago, I like Edgar and Yellowman, am beginning to like Johnny, I saw the Omega Man, I think the whole discrimination of those whiter than us is interesting, I think Connie Chiu is sexy, as well as the chick 14 sec and 1:56 to 2:08 into in this music video is sexy (actually they all are).  :-D   Civic Cat    Talk to Civic Cat   21:52, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hi :-) Not sure of the etiquette but just in case thought I would mention that I mentioned you on Saloon Bar--Barryjon (talk) 19:27, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. For me it's nice given that I'm not here on a regular basis.   :-)
