Picture of the day

Colias croceus, also known as the clouded yellow, is a small butterfly of the family Pieridae, the yellows and whites. Its breeding range is North Africa and southern Europe and eastwards through Turkey into the Middle East, but it occurs throughout much of Europe as a summer migrant, sometimes as far north as Scandinavia. In Asia, its range extends into central Siberia in the north and barely into India in the south, although it is not found in Central Asia. The species can live in any open area in the countryside, including downland, coastal cliffs and fields containing the caterpillar's host plants, at an elevation up to 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) above sea level. Colias croceus has a wingspan of 46–54 millimetres (1.8–2.1 in), with the upperside of its wing being golden to orange yellow with a broad black margin on all four wings and a black spot near the centre forewing. This mating pair was photographed in Pirin National Park, Bulgaria.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

Aubrey O'Day gay rumors

AniMate, I was hoping that you would not mind weighing in on the current topic in the Talk:Aubrey O'Day#LGBT category? Possibly open to being with women romantically? section of the Aubrey O'Day talk page. Your thoughts on this matter would be much appreciated. Flyer22 (talk) 01:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I just noticed this, though I'm unsure why the orange bar didn't pop up for me. Curse you Wikipedia glitches! I know nothing about Aubrey O'day, though it shouldn't be too hard for me to get caught up to speed. Out of curiosity, are you asking me to do this as a fellow editor or in an administrative capacity. Either way, I won't be able to comment until tomorrow, as I'm about to leave for the evening.

Thanks, AniMate. I'm asking you as a fellow editor, and consider it even better that you are not familiar with her (other than having read about her now, LOL). If this matter becomes an actual problem, then I will probably be asking you as an administrator. Flyer22 (talk) 20:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Belated congrats

Just read that you passed RfA! I find RfAs a bit stressful but your RfA would have been worth a visit. Keep up the good work. -- Banjeboi 06:53, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Geez

Well, after what I have said, it hardly seems to me like a "fond eulogy", as it is not entirely positive. If this creates drama, I will ask for its speedy deletion, but no drama so far. Jonathan321 (talk) 04:35, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, most editors weren't like Eco. He was very unique, and this whole incident has really changed my view of Wikipedia, as Eco was much like an on-wiki older brother to me (We actually were adopted by the same person), and while I find his actions reprehensible (and I now somewhat dislike him), he was a good friend, and I thought that a eulogy would be the best way to get my feelings out and to see what people thought. Jonathan321 (talk) 04:55, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I will move the eulogy to a secret page, but I will not ask for it's removal. Please delete the resulting redirect. Jonathan321 (talk) 05:40, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I learned my lesson about giving out personal info on the Internet after hearing really scary stories. Jonathan321 (talk) 05:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Need Help

Sorry, see your point. Had two friends die today, not happy by any stretch. Even apologized on the page. One point though, is it possible for someone to please stop some of these discussion because if you read the plot section, it was stifled for really no reason. I won't always be nice every day, but I was wayyyyyyy mean in my previous comment and it was so completely unjustified and I was just upset and angry, particularly at society in general. Pretty sad that I was taking my anger out on online people. Thank you for your time, I probably won't be on here for a while anyways, at least a week.-Tim

Thought about it, a lot. I am good at debating but unless I'm going to do something with it, it's no good. I have tried to read how to perform processes on here. I don't know how to nominate anything for deletion and I am not good at citing or pretty much anything. Basically I am good at proving people wrong. Is there any chance you can somehow help me learn how to perform tasks the right way? I figure if I am telling people they are wrong and I want to get stuff done, I should try to do stuff to the fullest. This is about as close as I will get to being a Jedi's Padawan..yes I said Padawan. Get back to me. I probably won't be on here for a week due to the events above. Thank you for your time. -Timmyfitz161

Sorry, but...

I think I'm going to make the eulogy public again, for two reasons.

1. The "secret" idea is not working.

2. Nobody else seems to be mad about the eulogy.

I just wanted to let you know in case you had any major concerns that you have not already addressed. Cheers, Jonathan321 (talk) 23:21, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikia

Hey Dude

It's me P.J., I thought I would message you and tell you that I'm on Wikia now updating the One Life to Live and I could use some help, you think you can help me out? 71.90.130.187 (talk) 21:24, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but my interactions with you haven't been pleasant and I prefer to stay at Wikipedia. Please don't edit anymore, you've been blocked. AniMate^talk 03:45, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
