RE:AWB
Not sure, I tried tackling the reindeer before and I came across the same issue as you. I believe it all comes from the userbox item/rares, but I can't seem to correct it. Can't help you on this one, sorry. 08:12, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, they were the ones who made the problem. 08:14, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Those costumes you asked Sentra about
They're really good, especially the most humorous one. Guess what! The wind just set off my smoke alarm. 06:55, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

In barges the talk page stalker...
Nice costumes! Especially the humourous one, be sure to enter that one in. 07:01, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, uh. I prefer the first option in humourous, but I don't like the shield, it appears too big. I don't know whether it is the angle though, but definitely not the second option. I liek teh gaydarhammerz! 07:15, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Something I forgot to say on your editor review before you closed it

Reverting a good faith edit
Hi. :-) I notice that you reverted a good faith edit to the General Graardor article as "not too helpful".  Whilst the edit was not well written in terms of punctuation, etc., it is clearly not vandalism, and therefore it did not deserve to be simply reverted.  The information may in fact have been relevant and useful (I cannot confirm this myself as I have never gone into the GWD), and editing the text to improve its readability would have been a much more appropriate reaction.

See Help:Revert, which includes this guidance: "While non-vandal edits can be reverted in the same way if you think an older version of a page is better than the current version, an editor whose work is undone this way is likely to perceive your action as rude, if not as an outright accusation of vandalism. A normal edit, which includes the best bits of the previous version and the new edit and combines them to get the best of both worlds, will often be preferable to reverting a genuine edit. You should save reverts for cases where the new version is plainly worse."

This seems especially important as the editor in question was anonymous, and therefore probably new. It is very discouraging for new users to have their efforts undone immediately when they are trying to help. If you had improved upon his/her edit instead, it would have helped them to feel like they can be a useful part of the collaborative process, which is what this wiki is all about. :-) I know you didn't mean any harm, but revert (and rollback) should ideally only be used for vandalism or other edits which obviously reduce the quality of an article (for example if an edit is made by a user who was trying, but who clearly did not know what they were doing, and the damage they did to an article would be hard to undo manually).  This one does not fall into that category, so please do just be a bit more cautious with reverting articles.  :-)   11:42, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Wikifest costumes
"I like your regular RS costume so I'd like your opinion", I have a regular costume? Anyhoo, those are better than my only costume so far. 03:03, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Give me your opinion on these costumes?
For the first one they both look pretty good, i can't decide which one to pick. The second and 3rd i would go for the variations. 03:53, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Exchange:Monk's robe (top)

Re:Wikifest
Umm are you the bird following the ranger? and i couldn't come cause i was on a father-son camp for the weekend, thats why i only responded to ur message before. But the weather was terrible, it hailed one night, the river was too high so we couldn't go canoeing but luckily today we got to go mountain bike riding and of course i was leaving the pack sprinting off, except uphill. But it was fun, especially bike riding. 09:53, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

So it's fully auto? You'll need a bot flag for that, you'll need to start a yg discussion about that, awb's fine when it's semi-auto but not fully auto like User:Evilbot. 12:19, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Latin

 * No, I'm still taking classes. However, I can read or write anything if I already know the meaning of every word in the sentence. I can't speak it out loud because Latin word order is different from English, making it hard to translate while speaking it at the same time.
 * 1) Multiple reasons, though I'm not going to list them all.
 * 2) Any other language would be useless to me. Latin has a lot of practical application in the English language because it is the language English is ultimately descended from. For example, if I had no idea what the word "Puerile" means, I would remember that "Puer" is the Latin for "boy". Therefore, I can assume that Puerile means "to have qualities like that of a boy" without ever having to touch a dictionary.
 * 3) Latin is often used for ceremonial purposes. If I'm going to take a language for the reason listed above, it might as well help me here as well.
 * 4) Latin is often the mark of a well educated person. In fact, Latin students score higher on the SAT than any other language-taking group.
 * 5) My family has been working on Genealogy the past few years, and we have gone far enough back that all the records are in Latin. Somebody has to translate them for the work to continue.
 * 6) Well, I've never tried to learn another language, though Latin is not as difficult as I originally thought.
 * 7) Here's a few example sentences from early on. "Hodie, Pharous defessus est. Brevi tempore, Pharous dormit quod Pharous est defessus. Tandem, Pharous currit ad arborem et ascendit." translates to "Today Pharos is tired. Soon, Pharos sleeps because Pharous is tired. At last, Pharous runs to the three and climbs." If you know the definitions of the Latin words in those sentences, you can reach conclusions regarding the definitions of English words that sound the same. For example, "dormit" means "to sleep", implying similar definitions to the words "dormant" or "dormitory".
 * 8) I use it on a regular basis when reading, writing, and listening, as it helps with figuring out how something is spelled or what something means. There are several vocabulary quizzes where knowledge of Latin meant the difference between an A or a B.

Hope that helps. Feel free to ask me to elaborate. 13:52, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Ip
Hey Pharos, I'm sorry but I don't have CheckUser enabled, however both Caleb and Karlis are online at the moment, so you can ask them, sorry I couldn't be more helpful. 13:36, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I'd prefer to see the account be used for something before running a Checkuser. At the moment, it could be someone having his "fun" by creating the account, and might be harmless as it is. 14:21, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. I sent you an E-Mail, anyway. 01:58, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
