"Moo cow" by Chris

"Army cow" by Chris

I am currently: offline, priorities are very much outside the box atm and I'm also temporarily without a 'puter :(. I will however pop in when I can, to read any messages on my talk page. (Further info: here).

Keep up the good work!

Did you know that LyricWiki has its own instant messenging service? No? Well it has. It's right here, but you'll need to download an IRC client before you can join in the fun ;) If you use Firefox or another Mozilla web browser, I'd recommend Chatzilla [1].

Oh, erm... hi... it's me... Chris. Um... Well, I just wanted to notify you that I've been burning the midnight oil tonight and well, yeah... Chris proudly, and yes indeed proudly, presents you the official homepage of his LyricWiki Suite! =D Phew, it was a lot of work and I think you can see how much work it cost me to raise the site, but I hope it was worth it.

Have fun, I'm looking forward to hearing from when you call back. I think you've got my number? Oh I think I'll leave it just in case you've forgotten. Chris - OK, that was it. Have a nice day - Chris 04:36, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

!!!! Can you tell I'm very impressed? You have surpassed all my expectations Chris. Very well done. your site is very stylish too and I personally think such detail is important.

OK, well I've got a couple of important appointments today, so although I'm tempted, I'll leave looking at all this in detail until I've finished with all that. That way I can concentrate on it without distraction. Immediate observations though:

You need a scroll bar at the right hand side of home page as my browser (Firefox) chops off the bottom.
There are a few minor typos, so what I'll do later is copy these sections and correct these, then I'll let you access my corrections so you can correct them on the site.

As I say, very well done...and thank you! ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 07:03, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, you're welcome, I'm glad to see you seem to like what you saw. Please tell me your first impressions, of course especially about WatchDoc ;) (in case if you want to use it).

If you've got any comments, bug reports or requests on how to improve LWS let me know like 6 did. You may also vote for his idea by placing your name under his suggestion.

I've already fixed some typos I found, but mind the timezones when reading the texts and almost falling backwards over your backrest (checkboxes - uh huh, ok...)^^ Posting at "04:36" means it's 06:36 here. I was in a hurry because I went to school after fixing the download-link.

OK, back to work then *hug* I'm still keen on making PreCoder an unbeatable edit-weapon *grins* - Chris 16:13, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

I still haven't heard anything from you, you seem to be away for a week now. Everything ok with you? - Chris 01:10, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Instrumentals in SNLI

Red, can you (or rather SandBot) run touch.py across Category:Songs Needing Language Identification to make Instrumentals go away? Some of them landed in there when #vardefineecho stopped working, and now refuse to leave quietly. Same with Category:Pages Needing Song Template – almost 2,500 pages that shouldn't be there. Thanks! — 6×9 (Talk) 12:22, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

The script has been deprecated apparently but unlike us, wikimedia aren't very helpful about stating what it has been replaced with. So I'm on the pywikpedia IRC Channel trying to find out. (It's not what you know, it's who you know ;)) Then I'll have to contend with problem number 2 no doubt, lol. But I'll do my best. ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 14:14, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE: Well that answers that. No I'm real sorry 6 but I can't run touch.py across Category:Songs Needing Language Identification to make Instrumentals go away. Not because I don't know how to do it, but because no bots are able to operate atm. I was just speaking with Sean and it seems that it might be a while before we can bot tasks again. Sorry my dear. ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 15:59, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] FMotW

I've updated Template:Free Music of the Week for this week (yay!), but my admin privileges are still not up, so I can't add it to the main page. Could you do so for me? Also, feel free to fix up the style (it seems the main page style has changed a bit). Thanks! --WillMak050389 22:34, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that was me:-) Well things were looking very squashed and it was affecting my karma. Do you approve? ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 22:37, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] About the move

I don't know how you think about it, but I can tell it's kind of getting on my nerves Kyle seems to have vanished after telling us he can't merge the accounts.
Should I move my userpages to User:LWChris/XY now or better leave everything as it currently is?
I'm not one to be impatient, but our requests are getting older and older... My request f. e. is 10 days old now.
And just to warn you and your non-meddling-co-workers ;): this is exactly the situation when and the reason why the old forum I've formerly been in completely went down...
Two account systems were merged, every user was renamed although the promise was it will only affect a few, the merge requests were even done faster than here but then it was like everyone afterwards saying something was talking to a wall of silence. The users got upset about not being asked or informed until the move took place and then one after another left the forum. Before it was nearly impossible to be the most recent poster in every topic area, but now there are like 5 posts per day from 5 to 10 users, whereas formerly it were about 250 active users and 210000 registered users. It's difficult to get everything to life again once the users say "ok I'll visit the page later again when everything is fixed" - they won't... Tell Kyle to hurry up^^ He's admin so it's his duty to merge the accounts, and we all are to do what we applied for, he ought to as well ;). - Chris 01:42, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

"...after telling us he can't merge the accounts" Where Chris? ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 05:13, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

There :) Have a look, either it was done or just said "please choose a new nick because your nick already exists elsewhere in wikia." Some have chosen new names (like your PA and me), but now nothing happens. It's very frustrating to have to wait for someone who doesn't even say if he's gonna do anything in the next few days, or maybe wait another two weeks, even a month...? Waiting for the 12th of never... - Chris 20:19, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Chris see here and here. Mine is sorted now. ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 21:33, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Is there any word on whether I can get back my contribs and watchlist (from LYRIC-Punktab)? --WillMak050389 22:21, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure you will Will. See latest posts:here ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 00:15, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

I just haven't heard anything since I posted at KyleH/renames. I have heard nothing from a wikia admin whether the accounts will/can be merged. --WillMak050389 00:40, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. I'm a little frustrated by all this too so I had to rewrite the reference to Kyle a couple of times but for what it's worth see User_talk:TOR ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 08:23, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

OK, I'll move my page to LWChris on my own^^ - Chris 19:35, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Need a job?

You must be really desperate for something to do, if you have to resort to spellchecking week-old postings… You could clean out a few categories instead. — 6×9 (Talk) 10:10, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Agreed I would have to be.

However, in view of your comment, I'm wondering if your normally observant self happened to notice the primary change I made to your talk page :P I just happened to notice and thereafter to correct the spelling as I was passing through... ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 11:16, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

P.S. We could make Category:Requests For Moves "Project of the Month", now that SNLI is manageable.

As long as we tell people to leave artists with more than a handfull of songs to admins… — 6×9 (Talk) 11:46, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

What was that? Handfull...or handful? Gotcha! ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 22:52, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Why tell them to leave those artists with more than a handful of songs? We won't be able to batch move them, they will have to be done manually. ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 04:30, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Why wouldn't we be able to batch move? And even if target pages already exist, I've found the preview option of Batchmove immensely helpful for finding that out in the first place. — 6×9 (Talk) 07:46, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

You just answered your own question ;) Yes, because the target pages exist in practically all these cases. ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 11:26, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bronze vs. Silver

Thanks for the note on my talk page...

In giving Silver status to most of the songs I listen to/edit, I've been following the guidance on the Page Ranking/Songs page -- I read it as, to classify a song as Silver, the information that needs to be completed is type, featured artist, album, language, ASIN, and iTunes (in addition to song and fLetter, which are required for Bronze), in addition to the presence of a Watcher.

But if that's not the standard that the admins are currently going by, I'm happy to go for the Bronze. 68.183.165.193 03:08, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, that was me -- using "the other computer," so I wasn't signed in. LYRIC-Trainman 03:09, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

I kinda guessed ;).

Anyway, my apologies. You are absolutely correct. There was quite a lot left to do on the "September" page (by which I mean time consuming) and it's a while since I visited the page ranking page, so I was going from memory. Well, I was trying to :-).

However, now that I have revisited the page ranking page and reviewed the requirements for Silver and Gold, I do feel that maybe the requirements for Silver should be upped. But you will know if/when this happens because there will be a post on the Community Portal talk page. Thanks for getting back to me. ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 03:38, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

I'll keep an eye out. LYRIC-Trainman 03:48, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Now if I wasn't English and attempting to educate all these foreigners in cockney rhyming slang I would likely be very concerned by what you just said :-) ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 04:30, October 16, 2009 (UTC) Mmmm... Trainman... Didn't Ringo Starr narrate Ivor the Engine?

[edit] Batch Rename certs/watches

Now that my contributions are finally(!) moved, I was wondering if there's any way to batch rename my watches and certifications from Firehawk (old lyricwiki) to Firehawk) (this account) Thank you. Firehawk 18:36, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I guess this could've been done by a bot, but I've been faster ;) -

Done by Chris 21:49, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :) Firehawk 13:20, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

You're always welcome. - Chris 14:01, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry Firehawk, I wasn't ignoring on you. As you can see from this post I was working on sorting this for you, but Chris ppped me to the post. (Hope you is OK)

@Chris : Thanks for your help!

Happy Halloween!

[edit] Some Frustration relieve-iation

Regarding this post in the Admin Portal, I'm quite sure clippings has keyboard shortcuts for clippings (CTRL + ALT + V then a letter), so you can use 26 on song pages without right clicking. Also, for Kiefer, on a PC, middle click on a link to open in a new tab OR hold ctrl while clicking to open in a new tab OR (at least in firefox) drag the link into the tab bar to open the link in a new tab.

Copy/paste is also available from the "Edit" menu and I'm pretty sure every other entry in the right-click has an alternative (some slightly longer, others quicker anyway). Hope that's helped ♫ LYRIC-Humbug^words♪_deeds 15:55, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Humbug! See we need you here ;) I also found that WikEd/AdBlock helps too.

BTW are you conceding to me in the chess game? Or shall we simply put it on hold? I guess another year won't hurt. Haa haa. Yes, it IS that long! ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 18:22, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

I think I'll concede. A year is probably a bit past the turn time limit.. Also, your page is locked so I can't get in and mark my resignation :P ♫ LYRIC-Humbug^words♪_deeds 10:41, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Unlocked. ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 13:34, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Uuuh, before you resign and delete that game, I'd like you to give a hint or take over the party to finish Red - there's a hole in her defense =D - Chris 14:15, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Drat! And I so wanted to tell 6 that I did "win" after all. :P ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 14:18, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Well it's up to Red, (besides, you're the only one who can edit your page :P). I'm too tired atm to look into the game too much. ♫ LYRIC-Humbug^words♪_deeds 14:54, November 1, 2009 (UTC) And trust Chris to pounce on it :P

@ Red: I'd never let you get away with this setting, you know that :P

@ Humbug: The page was unlocked, however I wonder why Red didn't outsource it to a page that afterwards is included again - would've been more sensible^^ - So long, Chris 14:58, November 1, 2009 (UTC) Good to have you at least a bit back, Red, I missed you, seriously!

Aww...thanks Chris. Nice to know. Chess "outsourced" now too: User:Redxx/Chess ;) ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 16:09, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Heehee - yes I meant it, it's so quiet around here without a lovely meddling female admin *grins* - hmm, are you going to do that later or did you miss the point of outsourcing (keep the full-protection of your userpage)? You put "outsourcing" in quotation marks, isn't that the appropiate word? It's a so-called New-German word instead of "auslagern", globalisation at its best... There's a "German" word called "etwas outsourcen" and "das Outsourcing", weird, isn't it? - Chris 16:45, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry Chris, I don't really know what the correct word is, I just don't think it's outsourcing. 6 would probably know. But you made yourself understood which is the most important thing. Talking of which, I noticed a post about misunderstanding (on Senv's talk page I think) and I just wanted to say that Senv does extremely well in making himself understood but sometimes he struggles to to find the right English words (or just plain gets them wrong). Now as I recall this (and my warped sense of humour) led to a few misunderstandings between us when he first came to the site. But not anymore. So here is a tip. Senv is a great guy as you know. He is always extremely polite and respectful. So if there are two possible ways to interpret a sentence, always opt for the one that fits his personality.

Oh and the reason I didn't put full protection back on my userpage is because Humbug has helped me out a few times in the past when I've encountered problems with the layout and I want him (and you) to be able to still edit my page. ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 17:24, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Wow, this is a word - I am officially allowed to edit an admin's page. xD About the thingamagic below: congratulations, Redxx I and Redxx II - you seem to be schizophrenic by notifying yourself xD. Sorry^^ Chris 18:41, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

'Outsource' is mostly used for obtaining stuff from an outside source, so User:Redxx outsources the chess game from User:Redxx/Chess but moving the chess game to User:Redxx/Chess wasn't "outsourcing". Either way it was a good idea :P.♫ LYRIC-Humbug^words♪_deeds 02:37, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Hee hee, thank you :) Just for the records, outsourcing in English means to get content from sources stored/kept somewhere else, whereas outsourcing in German means the active progress of splitting anything into a core and another thing which then exists on its own.

An example: banks often "outsource" their IT business departements to concerns specialised on maintaining IT-systems of banks instead of employing their own developers and administrators. A bank going to part from their IT-sector which is split into an independent firm would be spoken like: "Die Bank plant, ihren IT Sektor zu outsourcen." Sounds strange for your ears, doesn't it? Oh Red, you really miss something very funny hearing any German "Business Manager" talking about once being employed as a "Human Ressource Manager" for the "Service Points" of "Deutsche Bahn" (slogan: Mobility network logistics). This is what we actually call "German" - Chris 16:17, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Both uses are very close, so it's no surprise :P. (Just don't think you'd outsource "to" something else when you're the one getting the stuff. And to think, I want to learn German... ♫ LYRIC-Humbug^words♪_deeds 02:01, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] SOTD November 1, 2009: "Behind Blue Eyes"

Hi Redxx!
I'm just here to tell you that your nomination of "Behind Blue Eyes" by Limp Bizkit has won Song of the Day for November 1, 2009!
Thanks for nominating a song and for contributing to LyricWiki!
-- ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 17:40, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

nice ;)--Senvaikis ^(talk) 22:10, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Do you think it would be a good idea to SUBST the SOTD Notify template onto peoples talk pages? 1, it'll make people feel more special, 2, all changes to the template might not fit with all previous occurrences (like a change in the way it works or something) and 3, it will mean it creates a proper, editable, header to separate it from other sections. ♫ LYRIC-Humbug^words♪_deeds 02:37, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry Humbug I'm having a super thick day today so I'm having a bit of trouble understanding this. Plus you know I'm not very technical minded... ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 23:25, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

If you look at the old revision of this page you will see that the "SOTD" heading doesn't have an edit link because it's not actually it's own section. What I've done in this edit is changed "{{SOTD Notify" to "{{SUBST:SOTD Notify" which means the template on this page will be replaced by the actual wikitext that the template generates. Next time anyone edits the page they will see the wikitext that the template generated and they can edit it. ♫ LYRIC-Humbug^words♪_deeds 02:54, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Aah...Thanks Humbug - good idea! ♫_♫Яєd_xx_♪♫♪_♫♪ ^Actions _Words 05:51, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
