Draft template

Hi, I noticed you at NewPages and see that you're working on a draft of another article! May I suggest using {{Userspace draft}}? It'll keep the search engines out of your draft pages. Cheers, Melchoir (talk) 11:16, 26 November 2011 (UTC) That's very useful than kyou, I have quite a few drafts that coul use that; I'll put it on then right away many thanks.

labile mushrooms???

Hi Giano (and Hans who has graciously tweaked Talk:Tricholoma_pardinum#Riva_book_in_Italian thus far)- one query. the adjective "labile" must have some other meanings in Italian, as I am sorry but I cannot imagine a mushroom as "labile" in the English sense by any stretch of the imagination and am at a loss as to what it might mean....(see the very last sentence) Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:27, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

It means it has a short time to live, or is very fragile and delicate. I didn't know 'labile' meant anything in the English sense, allthough my mind is leading me an a filthy direction, but that is probably my mind. Giacomo Returned 11:31, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Hmmm, in psychiatry a labile mood is a term used in bipolar disorder for a mood with exaggerated expressions (laughing and crying in short succession etc.). "Fragile/delicate" makes sense in the segment of text...Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:19, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Ooh well that sums up half the Arbcom then; I like to have new adjectives for them up my sleeve when required. Giacomo Returned 12:24, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
(chuckle) that made me laugh, and I do need some of those at the moment....Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:40, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
I finished the translation, but please take everything con un grano di sale. The big advantage of never actually having learned a language other than by singing in it is that it's a lot more fun to translate. (Oh, and I think "labile" in this case means that the case for the second variety isn't as strong as for the first.) Hans Adler 12:44, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
I really don't understand this preoccupation that you all have with mushrooms; at one time people discussed art and literature on this page or at least how to have me unblocked because some labilic little Admin had gone off his head; now all we have is fungi. I shall go back to my editing. Giacomo Returned 12:52, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Well, your talk page sometimes plays the role of the kitchen during a party, where all the fun happens although nobody is supposed to be there. But if the possible culinary applications of a "large, attractive mushroom having a pleasant smell and taste" but causing "a severe, persistent gastroenteritis" don't make the topic palatable to you, then I guess we shouldn't keep activating your orange bar. Sorry for the interruptions; this will be the last one from me. Hans Adler 13:04, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
And me too...in just about everything I read it is Englisch über alles but for mycology, where there is a great deal of material in foreign, a group of languages at which I flounder. Hans I think the meaning of "uncertain/less certain" makes sense too. And that subspecies has been devilishly hard to find any material or sources on at all! And thus I bid arrivederci as well.....Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:18, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Why would anyone want to eat a mushroom that would give them "persistent gastroenteritis"? Giacomo Returned 16:08, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
These ones are large and meaty-looking, and (I guess) they just look appetizing - they do resemble some edible ones. I was intrigued that one variety of them smells/tastes like cucumber....and some folks.....oh look, I don't know, people are strange, but not as daring as the Finnish who eat this one....Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:04, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Oh Scandinavians, they will eat anything - even rotting fish is a treat for them. Giacomo Returned 23:10, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Arbcom elections

Hi there. You seem to be holding aloof from the arb elections. Have you formed an opinion? Bishonen | talk 15:52, 28 November 2011 (UTC).

I had not realy noticed that the elections were going on, but since you ask I just had a look. Apart from the same old crew trying to hang on to magical powers, I don't beleive I know any of the others - perhaps they are new to the project. One amusing, think is poor old FT2 still wandering about in the wilderness beating his breast, and Coren on his questions page, saying that the Arbs were unhappy and Risker says on her questions page that they did not know until 2010. What bollox, they were all covering up all of the time, I seem to remember the pretended shock, horror and outrage in 2008 when I posted diffs on the subject . here's a taste of the shock, horror and denial of knowing. As for poor old Coren, I seem to remember him telling me I was mental when another ex-Arb was up to no good, and then trying to have that oversighted. I don't think I shall bother to vote, there's nothing to chose between the lot of them. Giacomo Returned 16:35, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Such a big palace ...

... must have plenty of space for a coatrack. I guess that's what User:Diginerd84 (editing on behalf of Bell Pottinger Group) thought. Have you seen Blenheim Palace recently? I was quite surprised to find it on this list. Hans Adler 16:33, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

And plenty of breakfast rooms for the serving of spam on toast. Diginerd has been indefblocked as a confirmed sockpuppet. Bishonen | talk 19:25, 8 December 2011 (UTC).
True enough; however, it is probably a valid point to include the fact that Blenheim Palace *does* have a "construction arm". Now if only it could be sourced to something other than an estate agent's advert... Risker (talk) 19:32, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
