''I think you're one of those people for whom drama is like cocaine, and you started feeling withdrawal symptoms''
:You nailed it. The drama magnets are indeed, addicted to it. My guess is that they want to feel alive in some way, and go out of their way to cause problems for the attention it generates. It's basically an addiction to suffering. It's strange, but no matter how many people tell you they prefer pleasure to pain, isn't it interesting how many gravitate to pain instead? What do you make of that? [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 10:02, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 10:02, 9 May 2009

If you leave a message for me here, I'll respond here. If I leave a message on your talk page, I'll look there for a response (but of course you can respond here if you want to).

I requested for the change here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_moves I don't know if I did it correctly so please check it.

Thanks!

Thanks for helping out with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. I suspect your work has greatly benefited the readability of the article. JFW | T@lk 20:21, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments on my page!--Jasminekellis21 (talk) 19:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding comments on the article. Unfortunately, a new GAN review should never have been initiated on the article because the article was currently listed at GA reassessment. I have moved your comments to the GA reassessment page instead, to avoid confusion. Dr. Cash (talk) 16:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind what I just said. I have removed myself from the process because I don't believe that I can be considered neutral anymore by Philcha. All I ask, however, is that while you complete your review, please examine my previous review and make notable comments as you see fit. Cheers! Dr. Cash (talk) 16:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looie496, sorry for not responding in the last couple of days - I've caught a heavy cold and my brain don't work so good. Many thanks for the review, you've been very helpful and the article is significantly better as a result. I have to admit I found this one difficult, mainly because the taxonomic issues made it hard to fid a uniform level at wheich to summarise the critters. --Philcha (talk) 06:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Looie496, do you remember our discussion of "head" in the Flatworm GA review? Have a look at Annelid#Nervous_system_and_senses! BTW Annelid phylogeny is at least as messy as that of Flatworms - sigh. --Philcha (talk) 08:35, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Thanks for telling me, but I have heard of bots, but I don't know exactly what they are. I use a Java script to make insect-related pages quickly, though they are stubish. And I can understand your concern, because this can be used for mass vandalism, but I assure you, that I have no such intentions, but that of for the better good. If I am disobeying any rules, please explain. Buɡboy52.4 (talk) 18:24, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and I was just about to make articles for all the species for the genus Amata, is that all right??Buɡboy52.4 (talk) 18:26, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing a comment of yours

I have taken the liberty of editing a comment of yours to correct what looks like the kind of typo I would make, since I believe that you meant quite the opposite of what you said. :) The edit is here. Please revert me if I'm mistaken. :) Very well explained, I think. Obviously, my attention was drawn to it by the ANI report; it looks like you've got it well in hand. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:05, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw -- thanks for fixing my typo. Looie496 (talk) 20:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sinhala People Talk Page

Hi Looie. I would like to apologize for what was unquestionably recent vandalism of the discussion page for the article pertaining to "Sinhala People". This was not me, but rather one of my room-mates who shares a computer with me (I forgot to logout of my account, it was my own fault).

On the same note, however, a large amount of text that I myself did indeed add to the discussion page for "Sinhala People" under the last topic: "The comment about "Muslim-Sinhalese" population is unfounded" was deleted without reason and no one left a message on the talk page explaining their actions as is the usual protocol. I did a lot of independent research and spent a lot of time writing the section that was deleted. I felt it was very important to the discussion. Is there any way to restore this section? and if there is some good reason as to why it was deleted I will alter my content as necessary to make it more appropriate (even though I find it very difficult to fathom and comprehend why it would be considered "inappropriate" in the first place) so it stays and is not deleted in future. My section was a response to user: 90.219.238.197.

I'm not an administrator, I can't do anything more than you can do. I also don't know anything about the topic. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 22:37, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know who is an administrator that can restore my original text? It is good that the vandalism was reverted as that was not even me, however, I think deleting several paragraphs of researched, supported, and sourced text in a legitimate talk is insulting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MultiScholar (talk • contribs) 22:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You can restore it yourself, using the History tab. I'm not going to give you instructions, though, because it looks to me like you are fighting with other people on that page and writing comments that are much too long -- I don't want to encourage that style of editing.

Peets

thanks for the tip. just quick note: i worked for mr peet in the 1980's, he was a charming man, passionate about tea more than coffee, oddly. a perfectionist, of course, so some people bristled, but he could be positively poetic about his craft. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 15:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI. Your close of this AfD was brought up on the Village pump and the Help desk, and the AfD has since been reopened. --OnoremDil 12:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(update) And it's now been closed again. --OnoremDil 13:39, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For future reference, the closure you performed didn't meet the guidelines at Wikipedia:Non-admin closure and really should not have been done. You asked at ANI and multiple admins (including myself) told you that a WP:SNOW keep was out of the question, but then some time later when not much had really changed you closed anyway. In general, I'd advise only using non-admin closures for extremely unambiguous cases, which the subsequent wheel warring obviously indicates it wasn't. I'm not trying to come down on you or anything, I'm just giving some advice on how to stay out of trouble. Oren0 (talk) 03:20, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for your response. I really don´t know why a see so many articles tagged as Orphan, like it is a necessary to have links. Also some other editors believe that some pages can be plagued with notable people in them. ----Juliaaltagracia (talk) 02:30, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huntington's disease GAC

First of all thank you for your willingness to review the article; however it's been 11 days since your first lines with general recommendations (which the editors tried to resolve) and you have made no further comments. Do you plan to finish your review? How long do you think it will take you? Bests. --Garrondo (talk) 07:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Looie, thanks for your suggestions - and edits so far, Just wondered if you had a timescale for the review - it's just that JFW is holding the Medical collaboration open (it would be a great boost to the project to achieve a GA on it's watch) - but he is probably itching to roll it over to the next article. I dropped a note for user:delldot to add any extra comments - She reviewed HD for a previous GAN but is busy so may not have spare time. Hopefully we have addressed the points you've raised so far - but if there are any problems just let us know - Many thanks and power to the pixel! L∴V 11:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hak Ja Han RFC

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment in the Request for Comment about the article Hak Ja Han. Can you please elaborate on your comments at Talk:Hak_Ja_Han#RfC:_Sentence_about_marriage_to_Sun_Myung_Moon? The issue isn't really whether or not to reduce the number of sources cited for that sentence, that would be okay with me, but rather that some individuals would rather the entire sentence not be in the article at all, sourced or not. If you could expand on your comment after reading over the posts from the "involved" contributors (including myself and others) that would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time, Cirt (talk) 08:00, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chaos theory and Ramakrishnan

I thought the article was an interesting way to explain Ramakrishnan's free will theory. [1]. I hope you have read it before deleting the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.248.79.4 (talk) 07:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BTW the original article is at [2]. However the source was not notable hence the editorial article in Times of India was put. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.248.79.4 (talk) 11:11, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Camping Food article

I voted strong Keep on this one, read your note to the original author, and want to know what it will take to prevent deletion of this one. Yes, I've adopted it, although I do not know the author, but feel it is unjustly being nominated. I hope the writer has not been scared off. Tell me what I need to do to insure a Keep, other than my vote. Please respond on my talk page when you have time. Sincerely worried, Marcia Marcia Wright (talk) 16:52, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Method of loci

Hi, I've begun a rewrite of the Method of loci article intended to reflect the currency of the term in psychology, neurobiology and memory studies. I'd appreciate it if you might be able to take a look and vet the content, and of course, if you can, fill it out a bit. Thanks! --Picatrix (talk) 14:33, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

I am new to the contributor side of wikipedia. I have an interest primarily in contributing to the neuroscience rroject, stemming largely from SfN's new initiative to assist what you all have been doing here. I noticed your name in a number of the pages and threads that I've been looking through, and felt compelled to at least say hello. I expect to spend my time here in the coming days absorbing the process and procedures before jumping into contributing. There's lots of useful info around, but any helpful advice is always appreciated. Cheers. PhSean (talk) 18:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi -- take a look at Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Neuroscience, that's where we've been discussing the SfN initiative. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 19:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Independent story linked in Bipolar disorder article

I see that you removed a link to a newspaper story from the bipolar disorder article per WP:MEDRS. I see that the article in question cited papers from a special edition of Personality and Individual Differences, to which I do not have access. If you have electronic journal access, would it be possible for you to look up the papers cited in the newspaper article and link to them in its stead? -- The Anome (talk) 16:22, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't do it immediately, but I'll be able to access them the next time I go into the lab, in a couple of days. But looking at the abstracts for the papers, none of them seem to deal in any sort of specific way with bipolar disorder. Also note that there are tons of high-quality sources for a relationship between bipolar and creativity, including this Scientific American article. If the statement in our article hadn't already been well-sourced, I'd have dug one up. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Astute observation

I think you're one of those people for whom drama is like cocaine, and you started feeling withdrawal symptoms

You nailed it. The drama magnets are indeed, addicted to it. My guess is that they want to feel alive in some way, and go out of their way to cause problems for the attention it generates. It's basically an addiction to suffering. It's strange, but no matter how many people tell you they prefer pleasure to pain, isn't it interesting how many gravitate to pain instead?
