I am Trysha.

I Need a Nap.

naps and dogs

Need a nap: Me too.

Dog links: Thanks so much for removing all of those. I saw all of those additions the other day and it just exhausted me to think about removing them! I was going to go to village pump and ask whether there was anyone around who could create a bot to go through and automatically remove them, but since you're mostly done (all done?) I guess I don't need to-- Elf | Talk 7 July 2005 20:42 (UTC)

A kindred soul

Just got around to reading your user page. Not only do we have being dog crazy in common, but also I started "life" as a programmer (what software engineers used to be called :-) ) and only later moved to technical writing; AND I have a rather large collection of dragons in my house, too, not to mention many bookcases of SF & fantasy books. The only things I can't match are being lesbian or married in the state of Mass. ;-) . Elf | Talk 22:05, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pocket Dragons

Hi there. Today I created an article on Pocket Dragons, because suprisingly, there wasn't already one on Wikipedia. After looking at what links to the article, I found your user page. Since you collect Pocket Dragons, you may be able to add to the article. If you so wanted, of course. --Daniel Lawrence 15:47, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting comments on template alteration

Hello. I see you are using one or more of the User instruments templates in your Babel box. Inspired by some recent developments, I want to rework all the templates in there (including ones used on user pages), to make them more like the regular Babel templates. However, I thought I should hear from the people this would affect before actually doing it. Please weigh in at User:Ddawson/User instruments. Ddawson 11:28, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

LaLa

Trysha, I have blocked User:LaLa for 48 hours for violation of WP:NPA based on recent comments on his page. Please let me know if you have any further trouble with him or his other sockpuppets, and I will investigate further. Regards, Fawcett5 11:50, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I wish it were a school project. Then it would stop eventually. Meanwhile I just try to use mental Whiteout to attempt to not even see the words that shouldn't be there and respond only to the context of what *should* be discussions in WP. Elf | Talk 22:43, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dog fighting

Hi, just a heads up that User:Elf-Masher (a probable User:LaLa sock) insists on removing merge and cleanup notices from his History of dog fighting article - you might like to monitor the situation. Fawcett5 11:48, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

too much wiki

Oh, I keep threatening, and then I think--"Just one little peek won't hurt anything--" Elf | Talk 15:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

With your language section I notice that you have piano and trombone listed. I already have my language on my user page and would like to include the guitar there. Could you direct me to the help section which will tell me how to do it? I have searched and couldn't find it. Thanks. Dakota 04:52, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

For your advice. It was very helpful and I appreciate all the help I can get.Dakota 13:36, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dog vandalism

I don't think you meant to revert the vandalism back into Dog, but you should be aware that you did. I've reverted it now. No worries. ;) --huwr 05:14, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Dog Photos Message

I hope that this is the right place to put this.

You're welcome for the Kangal photo. I don't have photos of any other breeds besides Kangal dogs, sorry. I own two Kangal dogs, both of which are offspring of Eti, the dog in the photograph.

I looked at your dog project page. Regarding the Kangal vs. Anatolian Shepherd dispute, you're not going to get the two groups to agree on an answer. The ASD people think that the Kangal, Akbash, and Anatolian Shepherd dogs are all the same breed. They're wrong, but I don't argue about it, as more informed people than I have tried and failed to convince them of the error of their ways.

If you'd just like a layman's summary of the difference between the three breeds, it's this: Kangal and Akbash dogs breed true to type. The ASD standard, OTOH, allows all colors and coats. There are more subtle differences, but that's the Big Obvious One.

HTH, HAND

Sharpdale

I agree with you that we don't even want to list every FooBar crossbreed name on the hybrids page, either. I don't have a great idea what to do about it except to say on the talk page "not a generally recognized breed or crossbreed; one of potentially hundreds of thousands not necessary to list on wikipedia." (What is 500 factorial anyway?) Elf | Talk 00:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Trombone & recorder?

Dogs and All About Them by Robert Leighton

Dear Trysha,

You are correct about the source of the material. It is indeed a copy of Robert's book. However it is a legal, edited version of a public domain work. I thought it would be useful as a wiki link as each chapter was breed specific. However I accept your decision, but you should have asked me to help you remove the links! I know how long it took to put them there in the first place.

Kind Regards,

Jane

Bug (dog breed)

Trysha, please be more careful when slapping destructive sticker, like you did with Bug (dog breed). In such cases at least three things are to be done (1) check contributors; (2) check "what links here" (3) try google.

I also suspected that this is a hoa, but after checking web, where indeed these usages are mentioned, I decided to leave the issue to experts by posting questions at relevant article talk pages. You could have easily detected this by checking "what links there". I am well aware that this may well be a joke breed, coined for fun. But still the last word is for experts. At least I would expect an answer on one of the talk pages: this is bullshit, rather than silent deletion. Beleive me, I can delete pages very well. mikka (t) 05:06, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dogs and their skin

Hi, I thought that the many tears rescue centre was very rare as it deals almost exclusivly with puppy farm dogs. The other rescue centre which I visited was full of ex-pets which had fallen on hard times.

Also do you think the skin condition of westies from puppy farms should be added to the puppy farm page to give an example of the poor medical care given to dogs on the farms ?

Your report on WP:AN/I

You should probably place it on requests for page protection. No need to remove it from AN/I as the same folks look at both pages, but it should properly be located at the protection requests page. Thanks · Katefan0^(scribble)/mrp 20:12, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
