Cairo Children's Museum

Hi I've expanded it. If you come across an article that is a crappy stub in future, please ask the editor to try to expand it first. If they don't respond, then proceed to AFD. Its just it saves a lot of time, we know there are many poor stubs on here, but a lot of them could be filled out and notability asserted if the person who started it is given a chance to expand. Best Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 21:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry - I admit, I had jumped to conclusions a little too early. I'll give definitely give it more thought next time. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 22:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Not to worry. Actually I can see how the name itself might have influenced you, if I'd come across a one liner on something called Child Museum I'd probably think the same. I started a list of museums from a missing list of Greece and Egypt which were considered of national significance but I'm afraid I got so caught up in starting them and trying to get them onto here that I forgot to expand them all. I usually create stubs at least with some assertion of notability or some content but it more thr desire to get them blue linked that I compromised quality. I had anticiapted that the musems wikiproject were working on them but I guess we're all busy. I'll make a note to try to fill some of them out, although sometimes I really take on more than I can handle by myself! Best Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 22:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Cairo Children's Museum Article Name

Hello, La_Pianista, and Dr. Blofeld, {if you come here); you participated in the AfD for Child Museum (which has now been moved to Child Museum of Cairo). While I appreciate the value of making Child Museum into a disambiguation page, I'm concerned that by naming this article Child Museum of Cairo we've created a neologism. At the moment I write this, no sources give the title of the museum as "Child Museum of Cairo": doubtless wikipedia mirrors will pick up that name and distribute it. Most sources cite the museum's name as simply, "The Child Museum"; a few cite it as the "Cairo Children's Museum". I would recommend moving the article to either Child Museum (Cairo) or Cairo Children's Museum; feedback is appreciated. See the entry on the article talk page. Thanks, Baileypalblue (talk) 12:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in response - but I support LittleMountain's decision. Thanks for notifying me, though. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:34, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Papyrus

According to me this article is vandalized too often. Perhaps it needs semiprotection. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 00:16, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Pianista is not an administrator, she cannot protect articles. WP:RPP is the right place to request a protection. Icy // ♫ 00:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I requested a protection for this page several days ago ([1]), but the answer was: "There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time." Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 03:52, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

If the article has been vandalized again recently (i.e. in the time since the rfpp was declined), try requesting it again; otherwise, I doubt that it should be protected. Cheers, —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

How many times per day? Chubbennaitor 17:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

There has been a lot of vandalism on 20th, from the same user. In the past the article has been vandalised from time to time, but not a lot and not on a daily basis. Nothing that the vandal fighters can't deal with. The page won't be protected for one day's random increase in vandalism, particularly as there are several IPs that have made constructive contributions. Chamal ^talk 00:26, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Chamal's right, semi-protection should only be used when there's lots of IP/un-autoconfirmed vandalism, so much that anti-vandal people are missing some vandal edits. Which happened with Twilight (novel) a lot, so that one's semipro'd 'till sometime in the spring. Icy // ♫ 00:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I can't offer any better information. :) Vandalism has to be very frequent, upwards of about two or three times a day for about five days, and by different IPs.

And Ed, Icy, Chamal, Chubb...see edit summary. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:38, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

How did oyou get to 1:00. Chubbennaitor 18:55, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Lol, I'm pretty sure we love you too. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 23:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

"Pretty sure"? Eh? >:( (jk) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and Chubb - same way I'm up at 1:00, again, right now. :D —La Pianista ^(T•C) 07:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

It was I!—SimonKSK ^(T•C)

IMatthew saved you ...for now :) Icy // ♫ 00:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

This meanie deleted it, and called me a zombie. :( Simon^KSK 00:46, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

@ Ed: It's "'twas not I," w/o "it." Lern Ur Shakespearez Alreddy.

@ Icy: For now? I feel a sense of impending doom, a dagger, pointed at my heart from an unseen assassin </weird, fortune-cookie-like clairvoyance>

@ Simon: Yes. I say we quarter and hang the meanie. After all, only meanies follow protocol. ;P —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I mean hanged and quartered, of course. Unless you want to hang each of the limbs, but methinks there is no use in that. Maybe a boiling pot of oil will work better? —La Pianista ^(T•C) 06:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Or a molten vat of gold? —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 07:05, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Nah, a waste of value. Perhaps wet concrete would be nice, with some Miley Cyrus amped to the max for atmosphere. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 07:07, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

It's not very good Shakespeare to be honest. Why are you speaking Shakespeare if you can't manage to spell the words properly from modern English. Chubbennaitor 19:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah! Miley Cyrus! Oh...I mean, boo miley, ewwww. My grandma sings better songs. Simon^KSK 21:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

You really should...

...nominate P:CM at P:FPO. —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 17:47, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

You mean P:FP? LittleMountain5 18:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

LOL, no, though they redirect to the same place. :) I meant WP:FPO! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 19:40, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

And it's P:CLM, sweetheart. :P But... Seryuslyz?! Nowai! :O

Actually...seriously...why do you think so? I'd like an preliminary examination from thee, good sir. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 05:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

My valued opinion -

1. Ed is always right.
2. If you suspect Ed of being wrong, see Item #1 above.

Chamal ^talk 04:20, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

FYI

I'm not sure if you noticed, but Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions/Trial/Votes has been archived, so your 'Say NO to Flagged Revisions' banner is kind of obsolete. LittleMountain5 19:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Personally, I could care less. I still have mine, just in case if it will be proposed again. Simon^KSK 21:16, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I'd prefer to remove mine. I'll re-add it if/when the debate comes up again. Thanks for the heads up, though! —La Pianista ^(T•C) 05:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

You're very welcome. :P LittleMountain5 01:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

What you need now is a banner saying 'Say no/yes to Flagged protection‎' :D Chamal ^talk 04:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

O.o Hold on - I have to gather my scattered POV and comprehend this one. ;) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 04:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

STOP thingy

I "borrowed" your STOP sign for my user talk page, I'm sure you won't mind. :) TopGearFreak 19:28, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Not at all, but...where is it? :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 05:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Had a few problems, so I've saved it on my computer and will fix it and display it when I have time. :) TopGearFreak 16:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

  See User:TopGearFreak/editnotice.TopGearFreak 19:50, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Actually, that should be at User talk:TopGearFreak/editnotice - what you have now will pop up if someone edits your userspace. —La Pianista ^(T•C) 22:54, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Copyright question

I've taken a look, but I must admit that I'm unsure in this case. User:B or User:Elcobbola are usually good with stuff like this, so it might be helpful to ask one of them. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 03:17, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Your suggestions have already helped. :) —La Pianista ^(T•C) 03:19, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
