You found me!
Why you came here, is a mystery,

A mystery so involved,

That you can think till hell would freeze,

and never would it be solved!

Sorry, This is my talk page, you are welcome to leave a message after the scream, or alternatively write a message down, stick it to my igloo and I will pick it up when I get back!!!

Here comes the scream...

denoting dietary restrictions
Hi, I added a section to Cookbook:Policy which should be clear about what I meant. What I want to avoid is "tagging" all recipes which happen to be gluten-free/vegan/vegetarian in the page title; that is what categories are for. "Tagging" substantial variations in the title, however, is necessary for disambiguation. Oh, and I'm not sure "(Diabetic)" is the best naming convention... maybe "(Low-GI)"? When you decide on one, please add it to Cookbook_talk:Low-GI Diet Kellen T 20:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

You've been renamed
Enjoy. I see you're a fellow IT guy too. Nice. Please visit Special:MergeAccount to merge your accounts. – Adrignola talk contribs 22:36, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I was importing some templates and noticed your concern about pending changes at Wikipedia on a template talk page. Must be quite the twilight zone here, then, with every main space page subject to the system once an initial review is performed. – Adrignola talk 18:48, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not quite the twilight zone, Adrignola. The only thing which annoys me about pending changes is that it takes away some of the spirit of "The encyclopedia anyone can edit" - for some people, half the fun of editing Wikis is knowing that your work is out there immediately and you can feel proud of it.  Waiting for someone to check it first, (which on the German version of wikipedia has taken up to 4 weeks, and in my case, I still have an unsighted edit there from nearly 2 years ago), removes some of the joy of the work.

I spoke to someone about PC here on the IRC channel yesterday evening, and they said someone here could assign me the editor bit, since I'm active at so many Wikis and well known to the en.wp community. Is that possible? BarkingFish (talk) 00:51, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it is, and it's done. I see that you've contributed here since 2006, so that was the basis for my decision to assign it.  (We don't take other wikis into consideration on that, by convention, despite the clout that Wikipedia does indeed have).  We have a backlog here too, but for many of us, there's not much to do about it because the system was in place before we got here and there's not enough participation to get a consensus for or against its continued use. Some people are concerned about it decreasing participation, just as some are at Wikipedia.  It's essential for the Wikijunior namespace at least, but elsewhere, that's the question.  Many just use it as a replacement for page patrol, which wasn't the point.  So there we stand. – Adrignola talk 02:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

I requested the removal of the editor flag
Hello BarkingFish. I'm sorry in having to contact you on this terms, but due to recent discussions regarding reviewer and editor flags and the future of these groups, I started to analise the status of some accounts especially in the editors group and noticed that your level of contribution and your requirements to perform normal Wikibookian tasks may not warrant granting you the editor flag. With all respect for you and your activity on the project, and hopping that you indeed get to need and use the reviewer and editor tools, I requested for the flag to be removed. Feel free to express your opinion on the running Removal of access request or ask any questions here on your talk page. --Panic (talk) 04:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
