;D Claude Raines can you see me now?  03:09, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, thanks! I already nicked it, though - the visible parts, at least. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:35, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is from a hidden page, after all. ;D And from a relative unknown. ;D The Unknown Comic ^{it's not my bag} 00:06, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So you have hairy pits? I remember seeing this movie version of Carmen, and she was decidedly fuzzy under her arms. bibliomaniac15 06:07, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That matters little - a Latin temptress with a fondness for piano, tango, and men is sexy no matter how many hairs she has, and where. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:48, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Just wow. So many lol's... Allanon ^{♠The Dark Druid♠} 19:34, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So that's what my knight does when he arrives. Comments on how many lulz he got from this discussion, rather then getting his hands dirty and pulling me out of this muck. Enviable chivalry. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:36, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pull yourself out - Ed is on break until mid-Jan. :D Allanon ^{♠The Dark Druid♠} 07:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What! My Eddie, a heretic? I demand evidence! —La Guinevere ^{(Lancelot,•where art thou,•Lancelot?)} 18:20, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We don't need evidence. However, we point you to his use of an alias. What has he to hide? ;D Tomas de Torquemada ^{burn, baby, burn} 09:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When did we become friends? ;D Prof. Jm Moriarty ^{7% solution} 04:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The question should be, "When did we become enemies?" Ponder that - I'm off to bed. Ciao! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 06:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"To be, or not to be", I think, is the question. (I could be wrong. ;p) Mr. A ^{who are you calling batty?} 07:49, 08:15, & 20:05, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but why? ;D Alec Hudson ^{i'm getting bombed} 22:12 & 22:14, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because I'm unfamiliar with the large lot of them. Because I said so. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:14, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SINEBOT ATTACKED! :O

O_O Lovely. :)

No, I just found out that my ex started going out with the guy that she "wasn't" cheating on me with—on the night I broke up with her... -_- I should have listened to my friends and realized that she was playing me for a fiddle, but whatever. I'm over it! :) Stupid women. :D :D :D Allanon ^{♠The Dark Druid♠} 02:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Real response: Good for you! Hope you find a girl deserving of you sometime - and that'll be hard, truly. Almost as hard as for me to find a deserving guy. ;P

Mock response: Ah, one less obstacle. All we need is a plane ticket, and a time and place... :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

O.o Was not expecting that answer...

The question is rather if you. Just say when, where, how. ;D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No comment on that :S Ed, I'll give you that money, all of it. Just ask. I don't think I want it now ;D Chamal ^talk 02:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Woot! I like the green.

How do we know? We haven't seen a pic. :O (;P) Allanon ^{♠The Dark Druid♠} 03:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You want a pic? Fine...here. (Actually, I admit, though I have denied it, that particular one does look quite a bit like me if I let my hair down and cut it pretty. :D ) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if it's regular protocol to do it, but I suppose I can put it on hold - I'm doing this on behalf of User:the ed17, on leave, who told me to close it as "fail" if no contributions were made before December 14, which was true. I'll be willing to re-open it for you. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:37, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there isn't really a protocol for GAN's - it depends on the reviewer. :) Nichalp, I will keep checking that review and I/we/whatever won't fail it until you get your book, alright? However, if you've improved it and I haven't replied, it probably means that I haven't gotten on... Anyway, cheers!

Thanks guys. I'm really caught in a tight position. RL pressures + a few GAN noms and 2 FARCs to save. Quite a balancing act to put on this week. :( =Nichalp «Talk»= 11:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to have to template the wishes to you guys, but I'm kind of short of time. Got to get it done quickly, make some useful edits and get lost ;) Chamal ^talk 11:37, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No! Don't get lost Chamal - whatever would we do without our little Sri Lankan punk to set us straight? :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:43, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually thinking of 'getting lost' for some time. Maybe get into a semi-active state. Got my exams coming in a few months and editing here is taking a lot of my time. Chamal ^talk 02:35, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, really? :( We'll miss you, pal - but life is life, and it does get in the way sometimes.

Hope everything turns out great! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. But I wasn't thinking of completely stopping (not now at least), just going to be less active here. I'll be here whenever I get a chance. It's kind of hard to exist without editing for a few days ;) Chamal ^talk 03:03, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa. Thank you, Dylan - I wasn't expecting this. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You were qualified to receive the package because you signed my guestbook. Probably one of the biggest benefits of signing it. :-) --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 21:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do you think you would fare if you were to have an RfA at this moment? --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 18:19, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I really can't say, Dylan. I barely know you - and a quick look through your contribs really can't tell me much. And, frankly, I don't think I have the experience (I still feel like a newbie, even though I've been here over a year) to give you a quality assessment. I would recommend you consult User:Balloonman - he is very experienced in that field. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:31, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still? Wow. That's the last thing I'd expect to hear from an avid adopter. Don't worry, I'll take your advice by contacting Balloonman (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) about the matter. --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 21:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, not like that. In some areas, I feel very confident - in some areas I feel like a pro, and in others, I need more time. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 21:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do you create that template for when people post comments on your talk page. --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 18:19, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Create this subpage - User talk:Dylan620/Editnotice. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:26, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 21:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When you find the time, do you think you could please create a logo for me? --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 18:19, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The top one, I think most of us have done. Chubbennaitor 19:32, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Doing... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:26, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How would you like it? Exactly like your sig, or plus/minus a few accessories? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 20:28, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please cut the words "Contribs" and "Sign!" in my signature. Do you think, if you know how, you could map "Dylan620?" "Dylan" would link to my contributions (Special:Contributions/Dylan620), and "620" would link to my guestbook (User:Dylan620/guestbook). Do you think you could make "Dylan620" bold, and in Helvetica font? Also, I would have a slogan: Schoolboy by day, Wikipedian by night. The result would look something along the lines of this:

Dylan620
Schoolboy by day, Wikipedian by night

--Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 21:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, I've changed my mind about the mapping, but it would still be cool to have everything else. --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 22:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure? I've found out how to map it through a quick search at MediaWiki. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 23:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm... on third (and hopefully final) thought, I'll think that over for a while. I'll let you know when I've made up my mind. --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 23:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll turn down the image mapping. The links desired are already here. --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 23:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One last thing - would you like it to reflect, like mine? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 23:54, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c)Here's two for you to choose from:

• 
  Without the reflect.
• With the reflect.
  With the reflect.

I'll delete the one you won't use. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:12, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm for the one without the reflect. Thank you for all your help, Pianista. :-) --Dylan620 _Contribs ^Sign! 00:43, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. Enjoy! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:45, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We can make as much blooooooody murdr episodes if we want? p.s. how am I doing with my edits?--Spittlespat 00:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. That's why I gave you the link to my blog, Spittle, so you can chat with me as much as you like there.

And your edits have improved very much - though I would like you to read WP:OVERLINK, WP:TRIVIA, and WP:ORPHAN first. Basically, you shouldn't add links that aren't needed, add trivia sections, or add orphan tags to unreferenced articles (orphaned articles are ones that aren't linked to very much). —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:12, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's kinda weird how I like Johnny test a little... anyway I thought of a new idea edit while you talk, but I think you already new that...--Spittlespat 00:14, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Knew what, Spittle? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:16, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Knew that you should already edit while talking...--Spittlespat 00:17, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes. I do that very often.

Have fun out there! :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:18, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering did your piano teacher go to Juliard?--Spittlespat 00:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, but he was a concert pianist when he was younger. He even went on a concert tour in Europe. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

wow! My teacher went to juliard, but she has never been on a tour.--Spittlespat 00:23, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - he retired in his thirties, though, to take care of his family and start teaching. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well actually, My teacher went on tours... but it was in America. Gotta go, I'm going to eat dinner!--Spittlespat 01:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All right. Enjoy your meal. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:01, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'm back...--Spittlespat 01:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:26, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that your timeline is a little similiar to mine... (could lapianista be this kid's next door neighboor? JK)--Spittlespat 01:29, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline? You mean timezone? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. I haven't made significant changes to the essay since July and I certainly haven't copyedited it; any fixes are welcome :) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 03:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ignoring... :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:12, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I changed the Category New York City actors to New York actors, as there were too few actors. I am inexperienced in this technical field, I did not intend any vandalism. Can you direct the New York City actors page to New York actors?

Thanks

Saguamundi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saguamundi (talk • contribs) 00:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I can't. It's a category, which shouldn't be redirected to another article in the mainspace. It would be better to find articles to add to the category - it's blank now.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 00:15, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give my userpage a good look? Kalajan 15:25, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure - perhaps later today. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 16:33, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've fixed the userboxes - just tabling it out. Is there anything else you would like? :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well the background and, you know make it look kind of proffesional, thanks a lot though.

 Done - you can change the colors later by changing the html numbers (e.g., "#EFF8FF") to something else from the list here. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. Kalajan 19:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you put this photo:

in the picture thing you put in? Kalajan 19:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my god. Kalajan you were previously denied a userpage by TWO editors, so you came to a third!? You aren't ready for a nice design, considered you spend to much time in your userpage. ayematthew ✡ 19:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nd also could you create a logo for me? I know I'm demanding quite a lot but plz. Kalajan 20:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Imatt, are you going to block me for it? or report me? I don't see anything wrong with it. Kalajan 20:03, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We're building an encyclopedia, not editing a Myspace. ayematthew ✡ 00:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. I wasn't aware of this.

I'll have to side with iMatt - why don't you contribute more in the mainspace for several months? It's not that we're denying you the right to a userpage; I just think that you should get involved in a few projects first, perhaps spend more time in the mainspace. Too many new editors here get more interested in their own userpages than building the encyclopedia. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think your popularity is having an inexplicable effect on editors, forcibly converting them to myspacers... :D Icy // ♫ 01:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now, now, Icy, this is a serious conversation... <.< >.> You think? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:16, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hahahahahaaaa... Right now, I wanted to know if I went too crazy with this. Eh? Icy // ♫ 01:36, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's pretty good. Plots should be short and succinct - not too bad. (Sorry for the delay, juggling between blog and wiki, here. ;) ) —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(@ Icy) I agree. Oh, the shame, Pianista! The SHAME!

(@ Icy) Nope, you did not. :)

The 2009 WikiCup will begin on January 1, 2009. The first round will run through March 31, 2009. For more information on this tournament, read the "about" section on the main WikiCup page.

This year, we have a different system in calculating points. At User:Garden/WikiCup/Submissions, you will find information about submitting your article (and other) work to earn points. Each contestant will have their own individual subpage for submitting completed work to us.

This year, User:ST47 will also be running one of his bots to calculate mainspace edits and read your submission subpages to calculate the point values you receive based on our scoring chart.

Questions or comment? Ask at the talk page or go directly to Garden or IMatthew's talk page. Good luck and Happy Holidays! -- ayematthew ✡ and Garden. 13:53, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
