About what i did in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_MacIntyre

Actually, i was translating the article, but it seems i pasted my translation in the wrong page. I'm so sorry, and thank you for correcting it. I'm translating it in a draft, but... apparently i "save the changes" in the wrong one.

) thank you.

I appreciated this.

Thanks, I'll have it roasted with some garlic and potatoes. Yum. ;) -Roxy the dog (resonate) 01:06, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Note

Leaving a leading space before an image (such as in this edit) can break word wrapping. If you used a tool to make this edit, please ensure that it does not have a bug introducing this. Happy editing, — xaosflux ^Talk 00:09, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Nope, no leading spaces there! Oh, I see what you mean, I shall report it to the STiki dev team, when I'm sober and coherant. Happy editing. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 00:16, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

I looked at this a little closer, User:Xaosflux, and discovered that it was my own incompetence that led to the page formatting being broken, not anything wrong with STiki. I wanted to thank you for pointing it out to me. Thanks! -Roxy the dog (resonate) 15:50, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

No worries, just wanted to let you know, happy editing! — xaosflux ^Talk 16:21, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations from STiki!

	The Anti-Vandalism + STiki Barnstar
	Congratulations, Roxy the dog! You're receiving this barnstar because you recently crossed the 1,000 classification threshold using STiki. We thank you both for your contributions to Wikipedia at-large and your use of the tool. We hope you continue your ascent up the leaderboard and stay in touch at the talk page. Thank you and keep up the good work! West.andrew.g (developer) and Faizan 06:23, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Ooooooooh!!! my first ever barnstar. Thank you. (but I didn't really do anything special) -Roxy the dog (resonate) 07:14, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Not neutral?

re [1]: "Characterized" just seemed like slightly better prose, no ulterior motive. It's a synonym for "described", which is also neutral, and there's no subtle spin associated with it. [2][3] Could you elaborate? --Middle 8 (leave me alone • talk to me • COI?) 10:22, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

P.S. Seeking input here, at MOS talk. Forgot to mention above that I also liked the word because it's very close to "demarcate", which is exactly what people do when they classify things as pseudoscience. --Middle 8 (leave me alone • talk to me • COI?) 11:23, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

In context, I think my edit summary was perfectly clear and doesn't really need further elaboration. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 15:44, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Alexbrn, who is good with this stuff, thought "describe/call" more direct [4] so I've tried that. [5] --Middle 8 (leave me alone • talk to me • COI?) 00:48, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Discretionary Sanctions template

I know that. Because I used the template, I have indicated my awareness of the sanctions. I don't intend to edit-war or edit tendentiously on any BLPs or pseudo-scientific topics. I haven't touched the Arab-Israeli wars or Indian-Pakistani wars with a ten-foot pole, and don't expect to, because areas that have real wars always have too many edit wars. Point understood. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:22, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I do hope you know that my point wasn't aimed at you in the slightest. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 14:22, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I liked what you did there Invisible Barnstar

		The Invisible Barnstar
		I noticed your recent response to a joke edit made by new user to Gerber Baby and was impressed by the message you left on that user's talk page. Is that your own wording or if there is a compendium of templates that give sane, friendly, brief explanations of frequent problem-edits? Thanks, please accept an invisible Barnstar, since barnstar-giving is another template-thingy I don't know how to use. HouseOfChange (talk) 13:04, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

It was just a standard message issued by the program STiki, which is intended to help fight vandalism on wikipedia. I've only been using it a week, but it seems to agree with me! -Roxy the dog (resonate) 14:21, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Hey Roxy, when can we talk? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superkid1214 (talk • contribs)

Whenever you want kid. Post a message here, don't forget to sign it with four tildes. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 00:14, 6 July 2014 (UTC) ok. I'm sorry for adding stuff to your entries. I wanted to share my knowledge. Which entry of yours can i add stuff to? User:Superkid1214 ( resonate) 00:?, 5 July 2014 ( UTC). Not very good w/ tildes, whatever tildes are.

Please don't

Comments like this are unhelpful. Please do not make them. --John (talk) 14:07, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

OK, but perhaps your time could have been better spent. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 17:13, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern. It's worth my while when I can help a user keep their block log clean. --John (talk) 19:16, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

John, sincerely, thank you, I appreciate it. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 22:11, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

@John and Roxy the dog: -- John, thanks. Roxy, this (the last sentence) isn't helpful, and this (which is a response to my comment here) is grossly out of line, and such comments need to end now. --Middle 8 (leave me alone • talk to me • COI?) 08:15, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Dean Radin

Perhaps you can talk to Josephson's about his concerns on the Dean Radin talk-page. I am too busy working on other articles to get involved in a debate with him but he want's the page improved. Some other people's suggestions would be useful. Goblin Face (talk) 20:44, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

I'll look, but must point out that I am not the intellectual match for Brian, far from it. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 22:21, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

i'm all curious... why this? Jytdog (talk) 17:16, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Oh dear me. I don't remember reverting, but I do remember reading that post. I've put it back, and hope you accept my apology. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 19:31, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

no biggie! so much goes on around here.. Jytdog (talk) 22:03, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

You are both groovy. bobrayner (talk) 22:35, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

socialist one-world domination plot

Carbon credits are in fact a fabianesque "green" socialist one-world domination plot. They hijack the means of production and the emission of currency, with what essentially amounts to a central committee deciding how much your country can produce i.e. even worse than a world central bank. I could go ON and ON and ON but nevermind. Just bear in mind as with all fabianesque operations this is probably just the first very small step. I don't blame you.

G-star

Hi Roxy! I want to share with the network users warning that the company is stealing money G-star ordinary users! I'm not one who is touched and I do not want this to continue! I have to prove it! There correspondence! There are accounting documents! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikhail Zverev (talk • contribs) 16:15, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not the place Mikhail to try to complain about service you received from a company. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 16:38, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Language

Careful with the collegiality here, please? Simple tpyos are nothing to get worked up about. - 2/0 (cont.) 20:08, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry - I had just spent fifteen minutes trying to click from a link in an edit summary and getting nowhere, and it took me ages to figure it out. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 20:16, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

== Talk Pages == do u think u r making sense with your writing you stupid did you who are chaudhary first go and read about them then make change. Who has given u right mr. Don't play with our history Ok mind it It is recommended that you don't even correct other's misspellings. See WP:TPO Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 06:30, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Jim, I've self reverted. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 06:34, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Jim's advice is sound, but I don't mind in this instance. I repeated the word (correctly) half a line later. Cheers, St★lwart¹¹¹ 13:39, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you. I could have done it better, perhaps by adding a comment just pointing out the error. That would have been easier too, I wouldn't have had misgivings either. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 00:25, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Talk pages (again?)

Heloo mr. Hoe could u change the chaudhary page ...and on what basis you are saying it wrong. ..and what's your name...The dog — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anoty (talk • contribs) 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello Anoty, your changes didn't make any sense, and didn't improve the article. Thank you for your efforts, but unfortunately, I had to remove them. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 12:30, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) most importantly there was no source provided. Everything in WP needs a reliable source as per the policy WP:VERIFY. Jytdog (talk) 12:38, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Jytdog, you are correct about sources of course. Question I was going to ask, is that the way to sort out unsigned posts on any talk page? -Roxy the dog (resonate) 12:42, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

yep, that is how to handle unsigned comments. it is fine to add the unsigned template - that is what it was created for. :) and it is really helpful to everybody, so everybody knows when and by who the unsigned comment was added, and so that archiving engines can work correctly. Moving somebody else's out-of-place comment to a new section at the bottom is perfectly fine on your own Talk page. I do it sometimes, with caution, on article Talk pages, when a new comment is clearly out of place and the commentor seems pretty clearly to not know where new comments go. Jytdog (talk) 12:53, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Peter Sunde

There was no joke intended on Peter Sunde article, only facts. I've reverted your cencorship and added a source. Please do not sensor WP again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.202.37.66 (talk) 03:52, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Cut the crap

So you're one the idealist patrolmen are you? Well familiarize yourself with the relevant code before violating it, and better still, familiarize yourself with the facts first, I already explained myself to one of your fellow idealists here, who like you, templated me on the very same matter which I feel vindicated in having struck out. The 5th Doctor (talk) 14:13, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Haha, very good. Unfortunately, you have to be a regular in order not to be templated. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 15:07, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi!

Not familiar with the informal social etiquette on Wikipedia, so thank you for the Thank You, I guess! Karin Anker (talk) 01:21, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the thank you for the thank you! The use of 'thanks' is one of the few things that does not seem to have a huge ream of rules and regulations concerning its use here. Everything else does. I rather like that nobody but the thankee knows about it. They come out of the blue and can be very unexpected, and the system is nicely informal. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 05:40, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Teh internetz never fails to amaze me. -Roxy the dog (resonate) 06:04, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Our learned replies on talk:BLP were deleted! I tried sooo hard to make mine "a discussion to improve the article". Your friend, the The 5th Doctor is no longer with us and went out with a bang at the end No need to put notice on a user's talk page regarding WP:AIV. If they're that obviously vandalizing, they will likely just delete it. It's not really a discussion anyway... Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:44, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
