Ironically, you're missing a period above. Thunderkatz^Ho! 15:12, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

I am a "big" picture thinking person ya know? Things like punctuation, grammar, spelling....these are not things I am fully engaged in! I spent 6 months in my freshman year of highschool trying to find out who could eliminate the apostrophe from the English language. I finally decided that it was the editor of the MLA style guide book, since that is whats the majority of schools use. So I started a petition and got almost 200 hundred signatures for the elimination of the apostrophe from the MLA style book. I sent it in....and received a lovely form letter back telling me the appreaciated my input and would consider it for future editions. It never happened...bastards. 24.141.169.255 15:23, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

IP talk edit[edit]

Neh![edit]

But "Ender's Game" is crap. Keep ^{ìì it to yourself íí} 08:52, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Sacrilege! Thunderkatz^Ho! 09:29, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Sorry- the subject's not up for discussion : compared with the good oldies (Heinlein, Pohl, Pornelle, Clarke, Azimov, Bradbury, Simac, Van Vogt etc etc etc) and the superb newbies(Iain M Banks, William Gibson, Richard Morgan, Alastair Reynolds, _me etc etc etc), the whole series is crap. Admittedly I've only read the 1st two but that was out of a sense of duty -not 'cause I enjoyed them. The word that springs to mind is "immature". Keep ^{ìì it to yourself íí} 11:20, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Maybe to "old fogies" like you, but to young people, the series was incredible. Ender's Game wasn't written for adults. And once you get to Speaker For the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind, it only gets better. Granted, no one's going to look back and say "What an incredible author," but they're still good books, especially for teens. Thunderkatz^Ho! 11:36, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

p.s. Thanks for even more authors whose books I have to read now. And how could you forget Lovecraft? Or Phillip K. Dick? Or L. Ron Hubbard :)

Point taken, I am a certifiable antique - sorry for trampling on your flowers. Re other authors - didn't forget - there's just too many to mention (not a Lovecraft fan).Horselover Fat - yes of course (look it up if you don't get the ref). LRon? - neargh! I could go on for ever. Unfortunately I lost several thousand books about 25 years ago and another several hundred in the great flood (couldn't get 'em on the ark) - Some 1st editions & some signed 1sts. I also had a zillion old SF pulp mags - astounding (analog) & others. "Altogether now: Those were the days my friend ...". I've got about 40 copies of a book (that's about 1/2 the print run!) by an author whose name modesty prevents me from revealing that have been well soaked in flood water. Keep ^{ìì it to yourself íí} 11:55, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

That's just off the top of my head - there's a zillion more I should have mentioned. Keep ^{ìì it to yourself íí} 13:10, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Neil Gamain's good - not cryptowhatsit - he does graphic novels mainly, I think.

Question[edit]

So do I frustrate you to no end, or do you find it entertaining? tmtoulouse ^heckle 19:52, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

Yes. Thunderkatz^Ho! 19:53, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

Well I couldn't do this with out you! Want to go over my thesis when I have that done? :) tmtoulouse ^heckle 19:54, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

I would, but I probably wouldn't understand most of it. Though I can make sure you're using your apostraphes correctly. Which, knowing you, might be a huge problem. Thunderkatz^Ho! 19:56, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

Bloody apostrophes........... tmtoulouse ^heckle 19:58, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

request for collaboration[edit]

Would you care to join the ultra-secret RW enlightened vandal group? Bohdan 15:07, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Sure, thanks for asking! Can I be a sergeant? Sgt. Spice, perhaps? TYVM, human^{be in} 15:16, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

I wasn't talking to you. I might stop talking to you completely unless we get our own namespace. Bohdan

Can I be a third column please.Keep ^hidden 15:28, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

I was going to leave it a while for the authors to moan a bit, but eggselent Keep ^{your feet dry} 12:03, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

I was impatient. But I need a sysop to delete the old pages. And what's with your eggstremely weird pun?

no pun - just idleness (& yumor?). I like the screams of outrage when someone's little baby is threatened with being hoiked out! Keep ^{me in caviar} 12:26, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

Uhh.. yes. I mean, it's only the greatest TV show ever created (aside from Wonderfalls and The Daily Show). Thunderkatz^Ho! 16:14, 30 August 2007 (CDT)

Cat[edit]

Do you want me to delete that category that you moved? -- מְתֻרְגְּמָן וִיקִי ^{שְׁלֹום!}

Yeah, though I just mentioned something to DogP about it, who might have done it by the time I post this. Thunderkatz^Ho! 12:40, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Laws gone. :-)--Bob ^{bing up and down} 08:15, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

Thanks. I already took the IC cat out of the laws that had it. Thunderkatz^Ho! 08:23, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

ANY BUREAUCRAT OUT THERE!![edit]

Thunder, no objections at all to your cleaning up but can you put the delete request on the actual page if there isn't already a talk page. It's twice as much deleting work else.

SHOUT FOR BUREAUCRAT!!! Demote this guy & let him do hs own dustpan & brush work. Susan ^{talk to me} 23:12, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

I'm offended. And honored. Make that hofendonored. Thunderkatz^Ho! 23:16, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

I thought you were' already demoted 'til t'other day. You've been here longer than me & done more janitorial work. Hope you get the dustpan & brush but it's down to THEM now. Susan ^{talk to me} 23:30, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

What's the problem? Diff and links, please? Susan, what is he doing wrong, TK, what were you doing? And, how did RW die in the meantime? human^{be in} 23:38, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

?Susan ^{talk to me} 23:44, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

Don't know what you mean about RW dying, but Susan's referring to me removing pointless cats then asking for the empty cat page to be deleted (but making more work for sysops). And I'm totally not TK *cough, cough*. Thunderkatz^Ho! 23:58, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

If that's all it is, ask me to deLEte the cats on my talk page. First I'll check for "in-links", and if there ain't none, I'll fill it gladly. But this does not talk a Bcrat - any sysop can delete things, right? ps, TK seems to have answered, but all SG daid was "?" - um, contentfree? What's up with that, she usually explains her position? human^{be in} 03:26, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

Could some bureaucrat stop this "Blanker" guy? --Gulik 04:48, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

Welcome[edit]

Welcome to the Janitor's cupboard. Mops & buckets on the right, dustpan & brush on the left. Susan ^{talk to me} 11:08, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

Phantom cat thing[edit]

Thunder: re human's phantom cat (tmt's talk). Those dpl things need to be opened for editing & then saved in order to remove items; no need to actually delete anything, just edit/save. (apparently) Susan ^{talk to me} 00:42, 7 October 2007 (EDT)

Thanks. Thunderkatz^Ho! 09:07, 7 October 2007 (EDT)

Delete scientist?[edit]

Scientists is a useful catcher for those who aint strictly definable - what was Newton? Susan ^{talk to me} 20:46, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

According to some, we could just cat him as a creationist. Seriously though, he could be under mathmeticians and (possibly) physicists (didn't the physics of gravity start with him?). Thunderkatz^Ho! 20:48, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

We could recreate it, make it a subcat of science, and make all the -ists cats become subcats of it (besides the ones they're already subcats of). Did that make sense? I find myself to be rambling and incoherent today. Thunderkatz^Ho! 20:52, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Unlike some, I like tidy cat trees & think that scientists should exist with t'other ists as sub cats, leaving room for people to be just "scientists" if necessary. Susan ^{talk to me} 20:58, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Yes it did make sense. I was disappointed to see the Scientists cat. disappear. Reducing the number of cats is ok, but can be taken too far, and I think this is such a case. Lets face it taken to the extreme, we only need one cat., "RW articles", and everything would be in it, the only problem is it is not very useful.--Remarcsd 21:06, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

OK, I restored scientists, and made Newton its first member. Should the -ists (chemists, biologists, etc.) become subcats of it besides being subcats of their respected science (chemistry, biology, etcology)? Thunderkatz^Ho! 21:13, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

1) don't be discouraged - you're doing a good job.

2) -ists: yes should be sub cats of scientists (IMO).

3) Newton mainly' a philosopher secondly scientist?

Susan ^{talk to me} 21:25, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Don't worry, I'm not discouraged (or so vain as to think that every edit I make is perfect). I'll get on adding the ists (though can't right now), though that will create a strange cat tree: science --> branch of science -->-ists, science --> scientists --> ists. Thunderkatz^Ho! 21:28, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

I realise that my 1) above might sound patronising - not so intended - I really do think you're doing a good job. Cat trees can't be perfect but should always flow in one direction. Eg not recursive (scientist -> biologist -> scientist) Susan ^{talk to me} 21:45, 10 October 2007 (EDT).

Just to chime in here, I see no need for the cats to have a tree structure. They can be more useful if they are web like. Newton - mainly math and physics. Heck, pre-Einstein physics is named after him. And, yes, the "ists" should be in their specialty as well as scientist, etc. Personally, I favor over-catting to under-catting. But that's just me. Say, if I'm reading about Newton, it's cool to be able to leap to all the articles in physics, physicists, mathematicians, mathematics, etc. with ease. Another way to do some of this might be to have template for all science articles with handy major links in it... human

21:49, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Yeah a net's good too but I don't like:

a is a member of b

b is a member of a

It hurts my head. Susan ^{talk to me} 21:55, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Haha, but it can be very useful... try to partly think of them as links, not just a filing system. human

22:00, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Mmm. I imagine big boxes with little boxes inside (Russian dolls) & I want to plot 'em out in 2D with as few crossovers as possible & with direction arrows on the links flowing from the smallest up to the main stem. It's just a personal thing - comes from my prehistoric paper & ink mentality no doubt. I'll live with whatever happens & make snarky comments! Susan ^{talk to me} 22:15, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

I know you do. So did I. But wiki-cats are fatter, richer, and have more chocolate than that! They make a way to link to a hundred "see also"s, or a thousand. They make a site like this navigable, and, hopefully, enjoyable, to the random browser. Long live fat cats!!! Haha, I never thought I'd say that! human

04:32, 11 October 2007 (EDT)

Ip vandal[edit]

See we've got that silly prat back - good gatekeeping. You're able to get to him faster than me so I've given up trying while you're still here. Susan ^{talk to me} 22:53, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

I think you should range block 0.0.0.0/2 Zhakrin^Kallisti 23:15, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

Categories[edit]

Hi Thunderkatz. You're one of the people interested in Categories on the site. You might like to have a look at this discussion - if you haven't already done so.--Bob ^{'s your uncle} 04:28, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Sex template[edit]

Thanks for catching bisexuality. I think lightning struck while I had teh whole HS cat laid out to check for the cat, and I lost my notes ;). There are a few still not included, I was torn about adding it to the child sexual abuse/predator articles. Nice to see I created something other people also think is useful... human 18:31, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

About the bridgedweller[edit]

I know we're not supposed to feed them, but I have a real need to understand where they hell they come from. Also, as someone who used to believe some truly moronic things (and would have been likely to go around the internet and post stupid things, if I'd been able), I have to believe in the ability of people to reform. This will likely be beaten out of me eventually, but for now I have to indulge. Researcher 22:29, 24 October 2007 (EDT)

It's ok - while we counsel "do not feed the troll", we also play "engage the troll/vandal". It's our style. By the way, "researcher", can you give us more of your story, your personal history and progression, on your user page? I am curious, but also impressed by what I have read on random talk pages. I'd like to see it, if you feel like doing so, on your user page... human

00:28, 25 October 2007 (EDT)

I'm a little hesitant, because I've applied for some jobs where I don't want too much about me available online. However, I'll see what I can add. Researcher 00:33, 25 October 2007 (EDT)

Oh, I don't mean to deprive you of your privacy!!! I just mean that some things you've said about yourself and your process, your life are very interesting. Obviously, feel free to maintain your privacy! human

Thanks as always[edit]

You know about 5 years from now once CP and RW are distant memory you will receive a mysterious e-mail from a "tmtoulouse" that will make you suddenly remember all the fun you had here. Attached will be thesis paper and a request for your diligent attention :). tmtoulouse ^heckle 20:45, 23 February 2008 (EST)

To which I will take out a red pen and hack away with glee. And seriously, did you write the HPV rebuttal upside down? Because your fear of apostrophes has turned into a fear of commas. But grammar aside, nice work. Thunderkatz^Ho! 20:48, 23 February 2008 (EST)

It has been my observation that certain of RW's better contributors (Trent, Ice, sometimes Doc) are grammatically impaired because they concentrate so much on content, and I gleefully turn their academic exercises into "well written" pieces. At least, I can always figure out what they mean, as opposed to random bunchanumbers rants. PS, Hi TKatz! human

Demotion[edit]

We're sorry, but you've achieved a level of rank soooo low that there's a book written about it. You have my sympathies. The Goonie Punk ^{Can't sleep, clowns will eat me!} 01:38, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I know, that's why you should read it. Then we can create our own, translated version of it where we remove all the liberal bias. We could call it the "Conservative Bureaucrat Guide Project." Or something..... Punky ^{Your mental puke relief} 10:14, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I just want to say "congrats". I hope it was clear from my posts that my opposition to you becoming a 'crat was solely because I subscribe to the "too many 'crats" meme, and not for any other reason. –SuspectedReplicant retire me 04:21, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Removing links from articles[edit]

What's with removing loads of internal links? Please don't do that. Wéáśéĺóíď ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 18:49, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to remove links to disambiguation pages that don't belong there. In general, articles shouldn't link to disambiguation pages except for a top line "for other uses of x see here" or sometimes in a see also. If an article talks about Cool Hand Luke, there's no reason to link to our article on the Gospel of Luke. Similarly, if an article mentions the general concept of vaccines and links to "vaccine", but our vaccines page is a disambiguation page with no article about the general concept of vaccines, there's no reason for the link. Most of the things I've been doing have been changing internal links to skip the disambiguation page, but there are some where there's nothing in the disambiguation page that would make sense for the article to link to, so I just remove the link. Thunderkatz^Ho! 19:59, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Rubbish. There's nothing wrong with linking to a disambiguation page when it's the most appropriate subject to link to. & What's a fork page now won't necessarily always be one. Subjects like vaccine should really be an article in their own right, but if/when somebody does expand it into an article, it won't help if all the links to it in relevant articles have been replaced. Wěǎšěǐǒǐď

^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 20:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I disagree completely, but I'm not going to get into a revert war over it, so if you honestly feel that's better I won't stop you. Thunderkatz^Ho! 20:10, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree with both of you. In general, linking to fork/disambig pages is a bad idea, but in cases where there's no better option then you just have to put up with it. It's better to have a link to a vaccine fork page than no link at all. The Luke example though, seems to be pure RW snark. –SuspectedReplicant retire me 20:44, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, the Luke thing was an exaggerated example I made up on the top of my head of how not to link. The snarky version of Poe's Law? Thunderkatz^Ho! 20:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

"More pared down"[edit]

The work you did on this is awesome. I'm going to have do something very similar to the pages I have online. The only reason I'm not using your versions is that (a) I want the posting dates and (b) it sucks you can't actually show the quoted text. You wouldn't share your regexp magic by any chance? mb 21:49, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

It's actually not really regex (at least in the way I think of regex). All the pages are set up the same way, so there are certain html tags that appear before discussion title, user name, and message. I basically just set up a python script to look for them (which you can see here) and output the correct lines, and then used some nested bash for loops to go through and apply it to everything. I can look into doing the quoted text and the date stuff. Thunderkatz^Ho! 23:47, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Alright, date/time was easy, that's just like name. Quoted text might involve some really ugly substring stuff. Thunderkatz^Ho! 00:10, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Awesome mate, thank you very much. I've changed my mind on the quoted text thing; it's probably not worth the effort. The threads are not very long; it's almost always reasonably obvious who is replying to what. Does the version of your script I can currently see leave the dates in? I can probably hack this myself if not. It's 2:20 in the morning here in Bulgaria; I'm trying to get everything done before I have to go back to work. :/ mb 00:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Haha, you're just too late. With dates and quoted text: [2]. I'll update my python script subpage. Thunderkatz^Ho! 00:31, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

You, sir, are made of win. How do you want to be credited on the page? mb 00:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Is "Thunderkatz: That one guy who did that stuff" appropriate? Thunderkatz^Ho! 00:40, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

What programming languages do they have you guys studying? Тy^Talk. 23:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

They start the newbies off on Java, then they teach C/C++ in the intermediate course and more Java in the data structures course. Thunderkatz^Ho! 01:00, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

C/C++ and Java. I think I'm ahead of you year wise(I'm in my 3rd year), but most of what they teach here is math math math. And a whole course on ethics.Тy^Talk. 01:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, we have a computer ethics course here too, but it meets once a week. Most people don't take it till their 3rd or 4th year (I'm 1st year). We have some math-y stuff, like the automata class I'm in right now, but a lot of our classes are on practical applications, like computer-integrated surgery.
