Sorry, I erred, it's actually lemon not orange - is that still marmalade? Toast 18:42, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I have no idea. I didn't know anyone made lemon jam. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:53, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

History

Must all men be doomed by their past? By man's judgement? MarcusCicero 17:13, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

When you appear, making rather snide commments (SusanG) and self-laudatory ones (Human) after an absence where you had been roundly belabored for exactly the same sort of thing, then yes, I think so. You're a historian of sorts, aren;t you - so you should approve,

TOAST

^{and butter} 17:18, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

You weren't there when the whole thing blew up originally, so I would suppose from reading the responses on my page you might come up with this assumption. Though it does seem a tad assuming for someone just in the door to make such pontifications. (And yes, I am a historion - of sorts) MarcusCicero 17:32, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

I was lurking - but admittedly not paying all that much attention. Why can't you be nice about people? Then they might be nice about you?

Theory of evolution

Hi I had to roll back what you did as you seem to have doubled the pages size. Of you want get rid of the red links, create an article if appropriate to RationalWiki, use template:wpl to send someone to Wikipedia or template:cpl to send them to Conservapeida. The latter two can be done by changing [[name|long incoherent text by Ken]] to {{cpl|name|long incoherent text by Ken}} and it won't change the formatting of the article. - User $\scriptstyle {\sqrt {12}}\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }(-3)^{-n}(2n+1)^{-1}$ 06:01, 4 November 2008 (EST)

They are childish &, when they happen when I'm in the middle of a complex edit, fucking annoying, alright?  ^{(with butter!)} _{talk to Toast} 01:20, 16 January 2009 (EST)

I have to agree with Toast joke blocks are like yo mamma jokes, they are only funny if they come from someone you get along with, if they are from someone you are in the middle of having a disagreement with they are annoying. - User $\pi$ 01:51, 16 January 2009 (EST)

I agree with Teh Crumpet here, a 3 second block is no big deal, anything longer can create a big waste of time - and lost work at worst. Still, I am not against them - as long used in the "yo mamma" fashion, not the "prick up your ears" fashion. ħuman 21:44, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Because, Oh vacuum cleaner of little brain, the template won't work until it's been saved (so every amendment has to be saved before its effect can be seen). alright? ^(Crumpets) _and butter 05:03, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Sandbox fix (User:Toast/sandbox1 and Template:Help01)

I think I fixed your Sandbox problem there. Only stumbled over it now because I wanted to know what else linked to some non-existent template (the one included in the Cquote documentation). For reference, the issue was with how the MediaWiki software handles wikitables: It can be really idiotic with the "The {| part must be in a new line" rule. Dunno if the issue is still relevant, but I just can't resist trying to fix something that looks odd. :) --Sid 20:48, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Wingnuterry

I don't that's the template you really want - the articles you've added it to are lucid, it's their subjects that are wingnuts. Don't we have a banner type thing that proclaims that, like the pseudoscience one? ħuman 19:49, 22 January 2009 (EST)

Dunno - that's what I was looking for & couldn't find - I only did it to annoy CUR anyhoo.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 19:52, 22 January 2009 (EST)

You succeeded, but surely that barrel is too small for that fish? The boxes look good - they don't slow down the loading speed much, do they? ħuman 20:26, 22 January 2009 (EST)

CUR: it's mainly that he seems to be our token wingnut & his concerns are occupying soooo much of our attention. Boxes: don't think they do: there's not that many really.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 20:34, 22 January 2009 (EST)

Hmmm...I do like Uncle Joe between the brackets, but I quite like the North Korean flag just because it's a bit more interesting visually (and it's more common for us to compare Conservapedia to the aforementioned Korea). Also, I'd rather not use the Che Schlafly image again. Weeeell, I'll go back to the drawing board and see what inspires me. :) --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 01:02, 26 January 2009 (EST)

Help pages

I am given to understand you wrote most of the help pages initially. What I was planing to do was a bit of an update starting with the signatures as we seem to have the most problem with those, people dumping huge amounts of code every where and stuff. I created an account called User:Yourname for this purpose but decided to expand his use so we can make a pictorial guide to getting around the wiki. How to edit talkpage, what to do during an edit conflict, how to make a more annoying signature than mine, how to block and vandal bin CUR and so forth. If you are interested in helping I can give you Yourname's password. - User $\pi$ 00:13, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Why would we need the password, exactly? I see the point of using a neutral "yourname" user ID to improve those articles, of course. And, yes, and no, and yes, and no, ;) Yeah, let's just say Toast does a lot of work on the help files ;) without complete confirmation. Let a woman have her privacy :) I usually ran around after her fixing minor formatting issues, mostly due to "her" editing on thing like mobile phones. Also, with the sigs, don't people usually fix them pretty quickly after others whine at them? Hi, toast! ħuman 00:54, 31 January 2009 (EST)

No better reason than so when we direct them to User:Yourname/sig it wasn't an actual user name. The I decided he could be a generic RationalWikian for our examples. Just a thought. - User $\pi$ 01:09, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Apart from not understanding why you need the user (can explain plz?), I'm not terribly reliable @ the moment. so I think I'll keep off. Appreciate being asked though. :)  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 01:03, 31 January 2009 (EST)

PS: I did consider moving them all into "Help" Namespace instead of RW.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade}

Is there a "help" namespace? Remember that a colon does not "make" a namespace, the meister has to "create" it for it to be "real". ħuman 01:11, 31 January 2009 (EST)

If you are busy I will get to work on it myself. I am thinking of taking some time off myself for a while now things are going smoothly. I think namespace actually need to be created, but I will bother Trent about that. - User $\pi$ 01:09, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Gee, I guess I duplicated that. Yes, get him to make one. Feel free to play with the help files, making them better all the time is a good thing. Damn housekeeping! ħuman 01:11, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Move keeps the history, don't copy/paste. Anyway if we want to move all our help files, we should enlist RA's help. He really likes doing that sort of repetitive work. Will moving them break the magic navbox? ħuman 01:50, 31 January 2009 (EST)

The history was one reason I suggested copy/pasting them :) I think the navbox'll be OK, as I recall it is dependent on the Cat not the namespace. The main thing about moving 'em'll be the linkinges between them.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 02:00, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Copy/paste kills the history, it's the wrong way to do it. Move saves it, it's the right way. OK, the navbox is "space" independent, cool, thanks. ħuman 02:29, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Vandal

I note you were one of several who dealt with THC LOADEE. Fortunately there was more than one of you. On Dec 10th last year I dealt with a vandal attack single handed. That’s a thankless task. If you get it right the chances are no one notices. If you block the wrong person under pressure or seem to block the wrong person under pressure you’re accused of sysop abuse. If you ever find yourself the lone defender against a persistent vandal look for other active sysops in recent changes and ask them in their talk pages to help.

OHOHOH, speaking of which (and as I've not been around for 6 months, due to elections), I looked and looked and went to a fancy smanshy cheese store (for Xmas Dinner) and found your Queen. God, she's good cheese! I don't think we get her pure, though, cause of that whole "pasteurized/non-pasteurized things here in the US. But I'll get some in Scotland/Eyre when I get there in April. *smacks lips in anticipation!*. So thanks for the recomendations. I'd take any other suggestions (of particular brands of cheeses you like, food stuffs I should try, etc), if you have any. Most people go on vacation for the sites.

Most decent cheeses in Scotland are of boutique farmhouse manufacture. Usually made in small quantities so you need to look around and taste them. If you go to one of the larger cities then look for a specialist cheese shop (you can research their locations ahead of time). For a good Stilton ask for Colston Bassett, it's unpasteurised and should be nice and creamy. While you can find Stilton in a supermarket it usually isn't of the same quality you'll get from a specialist. Whisky is an individual thing, there are many different styles with single malts being the thing to go far. I like Highland Park and The Arran. Remember, just a drop of pure water and NO ICE.

What do you plan to do in Edinburgh? Word word Hoover! 12:12, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Sometimes one has to take the rough with the smooth and experience the more exotic aspects of a nation's cuisine, so if you're going to Glasgow make sure you dry the local speciality - deep-fried Mars bar. It will probably disgust you (and you don't even have to eat it all) but you will get loads of brownie points to tell the folks back home that you at least tried it.

Well, I did promise myself I would try Haggas. My dad is a Piper, and always has to pipe on Burns day, when you read "the" poem (not sure which one... i'm a bad 3rd generational scot), and slice into the haggas. But i've never had the delight (?) of trying it myself. As for the trip, we will be in France for two weeks in April. We found Are Lingus(sp?) which had flights from Paris to Dublin for 35 bucks a person including all taxes. So we are going to spend 4 days during that two weeks in the UK. Probably 2 days in Scotland, 2 in Ireland. Only restrictions are that we have to use bus or train to get anywhere. So I"m not sure where we'll be. I want smaller towns, cause to me (right or wrong) Metro is Metro, be it Paris, NY, or Dublin. So "what will I do / see?" don't know yet. I'm googling right now. I've a month to figure it out. :D. --En attendant Godot_{"«I don't think in any language. I think in images. V.Nabokov»} 12:38, 23 February 2009 (EST)

(undent)I believe it's illegal to import haggis into the US on account of it's offal. You might have difficulty getting a bus or train from Ireland to Scotland, though. _and marmite 12:44, 23 February 2009 (EST)

OOPs, Bad to my "UK" "Eire" confusion. I'm not good at the troubled past of Ireland & England. But if you ask me about Scotland and england... hehe. Toast, we found through Are Linguis, "0" Euro tickets. All you pay is taxes and handling. it's about 25 per person one way from Dublin to Either Edinburgh or Glasglow. Then we have to fly back into Dublin, then fly from Dublin to Paris. No direct flights from Paris to scotland, on "cheepo" flights. And yeah, the haggis that is usually served here in Denver on Burn's day is smuggled in if they can. I did that with European butter and cheese, cause the US thinks we will all die if we eat things humans have been eating for thousands of years. "silly rabbits". --En attendant Godot_{"«I don't think in any language. I think in images. V.Nabokov»} 13:10, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Luckily, Russian's spelling is exactly as it sounds. I'm dyslexic, for what it's worth (though in the 21st century, that's rarely an excuse). I never posted on websites till FireFox came out with an online spell checker. Cause it looked like a 6th grader had written it. ;-) But now, usually, I have little wavy red lines under misspellings, so I can fake most of the spelling stuff.

It's ok. The doc assures me that at this stage, its in such elementary stages that it will cause me no harm. However, he did caution that this condition is quite harmful upon others at this stage of development.
