Citroen 2CV

Create a table of yearly production figures (worldwide) from this reference for the Citroen 2CV article.

• http://www.citroenet.org.uk/passenger-cars/michelin/2cv/production.html

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for contributing to Born This Way Foundation. There is a lot of content there and I think that with just a bit more the page could be reconsidered instead of merged. I think you added good information and a good source. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:52, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much. It's a disgrace it's being merged into an already bloated article when it will result in a lot of content being lost.

If we work together to make the article huuuuuge i'm sure we'll get it back as an independent article again.

You in? Thanks again ツ Jenova20 14:57, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I will do what I can. I hope to be able to add something in the next three days. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:14, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Brilliant. Some kind soul also added 3 references to Talk:Born This Way Foundation if you want to write them into the article. Thanks and have a nice day/evening ツ Jenova20 15:24, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Foundation

The note at the top of Born This Way Foundation said:

This article was nominated for deletion. The debate was closed on 13 July 2012 with a consensus to merge the content into the article Lady Gaga. If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger

That was added by an Administrator: Ultraexactzz

Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 17:14, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah, i assumed you did it because i misread it and you did the merge. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction ツ Jenova20 18:18, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Wasn't me - the article came up as a closed but still tagged AFD, so I removed the AFD tag. Since there was a tag saying that the article was to be merged, I left it alone and moved on. The merge tag was placed (here) by the admin who closed the debate - User:King of Hearts. You'll want to discuss the matter with them. Best, UltraExactZZ ~ Did 13:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

In all honesty I'd rather just put the time into improving the template at User:Jenova20/Born This Way foundation until i have enough to restore it as an independent article. Thanks for letting me know though and have a nice day ツ Jenova20 13:57, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Or maybe you could work on making the Lady Gaga article less bloated, as I have a bit. I was a bit surprised no one challenged my condensing of some of it, but there's an edit war underway there now in any case. (Sigh.) The BTWF article itself was an example of bloating, IMHO. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 14:34, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I felt the BTWF article was pretty decent in size before the delete and merging it with the Lady Gaga article destroyed it. The Lady Gaga article will always be huge because there is nothing to compare the subject to. She is frequently marked top of global influences and makes a fortune from dedicated fans. That article will always be huge.

The BTWF is different, it's more about her outreach work and it will only increase in size. As we can see since the discussion there's been 2 or 3 more companies allying with the Foundation this year alone.

WP:CRYSTAL also already has no bearing on the fact that the topic is notable throughout worldwide media. And considering there were more keep votes there than merge or delete, even though it's not a vote, it's still gonna be unmerged eventually. Thanks ツ Jenova20 14:49, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Wand of Discernment

Hi,
Here is a Harry Potter approved wand of discernment (it's invisible but well potent) that will help you not only in gaydar abilities but in detecting BS. Use it well and true! Insomesia (talk) 12:43, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Strangest award ever, but much appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day ツ Jenova20 13:14, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Steve Cross .. clean up

Firstly I hope I've put this in the right place, its hard to gauge on a phone. Secondly I notice you cleaned up my edits to the Steve Cross article...

You gave the reasons as deleting advertising etc. Just to make you aware, i did not intend to advertise anything, I was using the text to back up the edits of him now being a commentator. ... I'm not moaning, just letting you know my intentions etc. Obviously I'm new here, and I'm still getting the hang of yhese things lol

Anyway, thank you for the clean up .

Football Crazy. (talk) 21:08, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

No problemo, just be careful with which links you add as advertising is a strict no no. It's a good article though from a glance. Thanks and have a nice night ツ Jenova20 21:12, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

WP:LGBT

Hi there, I got your message. There are several things you can do. The first is to clean up the main page for it is a little more up-to-date, and then you can post this on everyone's wall who has signed up and hasn't got it, and that way people know that the project still exists. Maybe with a note that that says that they hadn't got it before because we've been dormant a while.

If you want to write a newsletter, SatyrTN can sort out posting it on all the membership's Talkpages, he is still around. The Wordsmith is also interested in reviving the project. The competitions were never that popular even when we were active, so there's not a lot of point in keeping it going. I think the most important thing you can do to get people paying more attention is to get them the Watch the WT:LGBT page, that when when people like yourself or the others who are posting there for help say something, everyone who's still active knows about it.

That was all I could think of now, that useful? Dev920, who misses Jeffpw. 22:23, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Very, you've given me a lot to work on.

I'll start tagging the newer members...or maybe all of them since it's useful really for all of them. I'll work backwards from the ,ost recent but is there a bot that can automatically do this for new members? Thanks ツ Jenova20 23:49, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Finished the welcome messages. There was only the most recent who hadn't got one and SatyrTN appears to have got the rest. I'll start talking to him about the newsletter. Thanks ツ Jenova20 10:29, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

God Save the Queen

Hey Jenova, I recently heard God Save the Queen. I never realized that it was to the tune of My County, 'Tis of Thee. There should be a {{Ignorant American}} that provides a link to Europe According to Americans. Ryan Vesey Review me! 00:36, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Keh? I'm British not European Ryan. ツ Jenova20 10:31, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Do Brits not consider them Europeans? Ryan Vesey 14:15, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

We're an island off the continent and thats where it ends. It doesn't make us any more European than it would if America joined the EU. They dont instantly become a different race. I dont consider myself European but theres a minority here who do.

Europe is just a jumbled beurocratic mess being turned into a single entity/country and placing its own version of history and culture over every other. If it doesnt implode from debt it will spread. Im proud of this country and so it's a pain to have the EU grow each year to cost more, take more of our rights and threaten to sue us. ツ Jenova20

Well... I knew that "My Country" was derived from "GSTQ." But I didn't know that Brits don't consider themselves European. However, Americans consider Brits to be European. And that overrides the Brit's non-identification. I guess that settles it.– Lionel 08:58, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Believe it or not I am a huge fan of the Royal Family--I stay up for all of their weddings, hahaha. And a huge fan of the Bond franchise. That HM-Craig thing was incredible. I was making such a ruckus the neighbors almost called the bobbies.– Lionel 09:01, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Americans have a terrible knowledge of geography from what i've seen so that's hardly surprizing. I can remember only last year i had to point out RUSSIA to an American i met. Don't your schools teach geography outside America?? Thanks ツ Jenova20 09:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

WTF Jenova, we learn all about geography. Where is Mexico? It's where you get tacos. Where is China? It's where you get chicken ala king. Where's Italy? It's where you get spaghetti and meatballs. If you wanna make fun of us, fine. Just don't bother dialing U-S-A the next time you get in trouble with the Huns. – Lionel 09:54, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Ha ha, just remember that next time your Republicans start a war you can't fight on your own then. ツ Jenova20 10:32, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

American geography Rivertorch (talk) 11:06, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Ha ha! You owe me a keyboard for that one! There's loads of those. My favourite is here ツ Jenova20 11:25, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Are you attending any events? – Lionel 09:16, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

You mean the Wikipedian meet-ups? Thanks ツ Jenova20 09:19, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Olympics – Lionel 09:21, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Nope. Birmingham is a bit far from London and i don't intend to miss work and spend a small fortune on tickets. I'm not really a sport person anyway...I suppose i could watch the swimmers but i'd have little interest in the actual swimming itself...You? Thanks ツ Jenova20 09:29, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

You're on an island!!! How far can it possible be????? (hahahaa--kidding--I checked---it is far) Well since you ask, I was planning on popping in for the weekend and catching some archery. But seriously, if the Games were 100 mi away I'd go. – Lionel 09:43, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Just caught the thing about the swimmers. Gay humor, right? – Lionel 09:44, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Spot on! =P Although there's a _____(german?) swimmer sporting strange water wings that looks kinda disgusting.

Regarding London, it's not too far really it's just a pain to get to. And archery is just pub darts for people with good eye sight. Thanks ツ Jenova20 10:18, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

You've got mail!

^_^ Swifty* 00:04, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey

If you did not get the email (never done one before) can you give your opinion on this: Talk:Scooby-Doo? ^_^ Swifty* 00:31, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm surprized you've never sent an email but i'll help out. Thanks ツ Jenova20 09:16, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

You said I could always come to you. By the way to reply to what you said on the talk page. See why I want a source? Too many contradictions. I don't have cable so my information is based on what I get and I always check to make sure there are sources for things cause if it had I'm sure something would have said so by now. But even the DVD makes a contradiction as it says on it's back "all new 23-minute episode Spooky Games!." why would it call it all new if it aired is my question but I'm sure something may pop up before the month is up that's why I am giving it that long. ^_^ Swifty* 04:24, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, i see your point and i have to agree there. I haven't watched Scooby in years as it got too predictable. You're always welcome to bother me anyway and like last time, if you have a question then i'm quite active so just drop me a message. Have a nice day Swifty ツ Jenova20 08:28, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Technical Barnstar
	My jaw just dropped - these are exactly right. I'm really impressed! Worm(talk) 09:00, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, it only took me about a year longer than everyone else...I was still editing it just, i thought it was wrong. I suppose to look on the bright side, even though i can't manage the last one and i'm glad that 30 minutes of tinkering paid off. Thank you very much! You're a good teacher! ツ Jenova20 09:06, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

It's enough that you can call templates - you can always try to learn making them at a later date. I didn't teach you that, you did it all yourself! Worm(talk) 09:12, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I have to credit it to Stepho and the Euro NCAP templates and also fixing tables in Hollywood actor articles. They're still real confusing for me and more time consuming than copy + paste. Thanks though, you are a brilliant teacher ツ Jenova20 09:14, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I still haven't figured out how to do make those stupid if templates work. I had to jerry-rig a system. Ryan Vesey 14:50, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

You surprize me Ryan! I managed the first 3 even though i couldn't understand the instructions very well. I'm used to minor changes on templates i'm already acquainted with and the dyslexia means i learn better by trying than reading about it, which is why it took so long.

If i can do it then so can you! ツ Jenova20 15:17, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Civ 5?

Have you played Civ 5 yet? I'll agree with you that Civ 3 was 1000 times better than Civ 4. Ryan Vesey 12:50, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I got three quarters through a game by nuking every other nation out of existence and went back to Civ 3. Civ5 is terrible and buggy and i absolutely hate Steam. They've also disadvantaged the English a lot and destroyed the experience of expansion and conquest. Civ 4 - also crap but was good for adding religion and minor government policy options.

I've gone back to playing Civ 3 with all add-ons as the British and trying to keep the game going as long as possible by not invading others and intervening when China (continually) declares war on America (a possibility in the future perhaps?).

You? Thanks ツ Jenova20 12:57, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

• cough* Civ 2 for the win. Worm(talk) 13:01, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I would agree if not for the wonder known as the AI Entity, which messes up every game to the point where you have to rush to win. I prefer to drag the games out and that's not possible on Civ 2. I assume you've tried Civ 3 then Worm? Thanks ツ Jenova20 13:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

• Worm, your age is showing. Civ 2, what is this, the stone age? Ryan Vesey 14:45, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Civ 3 was great, it had some of the best user submitted maps and it's scenarios were awesome. Unfortunately my game had a glitch so I couldn't save a scenario victory. I wrecked the installation disks so when I changed computers I couldn't play it any more. I liked the religion aspect of Civ4, but that was about it. Civ5 is great, except it freezes up around turn 100. It starts taking a minute or so per action and can take 10-20 minutes for a turn. I suppose that is what I get for playing on a laptop. I've always wished that there were "official mods" rather than user submitted ones. It would be great if I could choose to turn the religion aspect back on. In addition, steam changed their system for installing mods and I haven't been able to add any since then. I hate steam. I finally caved in and purchased an expansion pack on Friday and I'm still waiting for steam support to get back to me because it didn't install onto my game. Perhaps I need the disk in? Ryan Vesey 14:45, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I just asked and apparently Civ 2 was new when people still used an abacus to add up =P

I never experienced any major glitches with any of the Civ games Ryan. I've had a lot of them from Steam though. Thanks ツ Jenova20 15:14, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

ha. ha. ha. I must check to see if I've lost any ribs, I'm laughing so hard. :| Worm(talk) 15:16, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

No disrespect neant to my teacher of course ツ Jenova20 18:16, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Popups image

Hey Jenova, you might want to consider moving your userboxes around or moving an image to the top of the page. Currently, File:Backtowel2.jpg appears next to your name when an editor scrolls over it using popups. Ryan Vesey 18:02, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that used to bother me but i've got used to it. It's not the first image though so i'm not sure why that happens...ツ Jenova20 18:13, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I edited your userpage so that it is the rainbow now, I think it was because it was the first .jpg of a certain size on the page (the userboxes are code for before the text). I could do it without any visual change at all (atm the userboxes are lower down) if you let me create a subpage in your userspace.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 20:25, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Sure, it's worth a try. Thanks ツ Jenova20 20:48, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

All done, still the rainbow with no other effects. I've put all your userboxes on a separate page and transcluded them, which isn't detected by the NavPop-ups extension.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 20:55, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Good thinking! Ryan Vesey 20:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks :) It's been bouncing around at the back of my mind for a few days, and I just realised that it doesn't bring anything up for my name (everything is obfuscatedly transcluded).--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 21:02, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Very kind of you =D. Thanks! ツ Jenova20 21:06, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey

File:Pikachu volkswagon beetle.jpg, whoever this user is is about to tick me off. I hate people who want to go and randomly pick picture and make excuses to delete them especially after the pics been on there for over a month. Can you say something cause all Pokémon Yellow just says "A collaboration between Volkswagen and Nintendo resulted in the creation of a yellow Volkswagen New Beetle with some features taken from Pikachu." and if you look at the picture there is more then Pikachu depicted on it and I think the guy is..I'm going to keep that to myself. ^_^ Swifty* 15:10, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

And it makes it worse cause if you look at Pokémon Gold and Silver it has the Lugia P.T. Cruiser on there but it's not okay for Pokémon Yellow to have VWB? That makes no darn sense. ^_^ Swifty* 15:18, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Is that image not replaceable? That's a publicity shot, is the car no longer "out there"? Worm(talk) 15:24, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

It was only done for promotion I have never actually seen it personally myself to answer your Dave. ^_^ Swifty* 15:29, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Dave is better with the copyright stuff Swifty so i'll step aside here and let you two work it out between you. Nice to see you back though! ツ Jenova20 15:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

In fact this is a free replacement... so's this... and you could email all sorts of other people to get them to release it for free... Or you could use my favourite... http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenslime/269574683/ Worm(talk) 15:33, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

There couldn't be a free replacement. The car is a derivative work, it needs a FUR. The first image you linked to wouldn't be free, it contains tons of derivative works, the second might be free, but is not a replacement, the third also has a derivative work problem, right? Ryan Vesey 15:37, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

I was thinking about that for a moment too, but since the car is not primarily an artwork but a utilitarian object, i.e. a serial piece of industrial design, I don't think it falls under copyright as such. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

I've seen images of buses deleted from commons due to having a design on them, but I also see pictures that exist. If the car is considered a derivative work, the uploaded image should stay, if it isn't, it should be replaced with this. The first image Worm linked to contains non de minimis derivative works. I'll raise the bus question on Village Pump/Copyright at commons. Ryan Vesey 15:43, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

The thing is a moveable billboard, designed solely to promote Pokemon. I'm fairly sure we can only use it under fair use? (I await someone correcting me very quickly) Thanks ツ Jenova20 16:01, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

I am returning to Misplaced Pages as a negotiator not an editor. So everyone knows. ^_^ Swifty* 18:35, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Cool, i knew you couldn't stay away! Thanks ツ Jenova20 18:50, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

You've got mail!

^_^ Swifty* 16:22, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

My new project - WWC

Hi Jenova! I wanted to stop by to share a new project with you that I am developing, called the WikiWomen's Collaborative. I would love your input about the project since you have expressed interest in engaging more women in becoming editors.

• You can find the project page here.
• On the talk page, you'll find a number of questions I'm seeking input on. I'm especially seeking thoughts about hosting the space off of Misplaced Pages (in the WordPress section). I hope you will join in on the conversation.
• Finally, this project will be developed with volunteers from around the world who want to engage and support bringing new women (and transwomen) to Misplaced Pages. If you think you'd like to be involved in some capacity, that'd be awesome. We're still working on developing roles, but, you can learn more about volunteer opportunities here.

Thank you for the consideration and I hope you'll participate in developing this exciting new project to bring more women to Misplaced Pages! SarahStierch (talk) 22:56, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the olive branch

	Olive oil for you!
	The olive branch was a very warm sentiment and most appreciated. In return I present you with this bottle of EVOO! It is exceptional with a little balsamic and a baguette. A little Chianti to wash it down with and that's living! – Sir Lionel, EG 06:59, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
