:::::::: Yep, I like music by Skrillex, Fall of Icarus, Linkin Park, and Knife Party. However, I am not planning on using music or photography as jobs to become famous or anything. I am planning on making music to get some money, taking photographs of things that Wikipedia needs photos of, and then being a chemist to earn most of my money. If I make music, and have those 30 second advertisements on my YouTube videos, I can get like $50,000/year, not much, but enough that with about $70,000/year, I will have enough for a decent sized house within like 2 or 3 years of getting those jobs. That is, if I don't die from sickness. I've been sick for like 4 or 5 days now... :P [[User:Scientific_Alan_2|<span style="color:#bf3f00; background:#00ffff; font-family:Courier">Scientific Alan 2</span>]][[User talk:Scientific_Alan_2|<span style="color:#0000ff"><sup>(Click here to talk)</sup></span>]][[Special:Contributions/Scientific_Alan_2|<span style="color:#0000ff"><sup>(What have I done?)</sup></span>]][https://www.facebook.com/alan.greger<span style="color:#0000ff"><sup>(Me)</sup></span>] 21:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

::::: Well, it takes a long time. A 31 gram platinum bar takes about 20 hours of being bathed in hot aqua regia to dissolve. At 10 hours a day, that is 2 days, for a profit of $1,200. Now, I could always do it more slowly. 4 hours a day is perfect, since that means I am done without having to work on it too much each day, or work on the weekend. And like every 2 hours, I need to add more acid. And at the end, there is about 30 minutes needed to dry it. So, it takes time, but it will be worth it. And I don't have any really reactive elements yet. My most reactive one is 1.8 grams of uranium, which tarnishes in air. But, toxic is another story. I have like 5.8 grams of mercury, sealed in resin, and I will also get 0.2 grams of thallium, also sealed in resin. Luckily, the thallium isn't about 5 grams, like the other coins. 5 grams of thallium would be really hard to take care of, considering it's toxicity. And I got thinking, you should friend me on Facebook, it is far quicker to talk on there.

:Hello! You are right that IPs are shared by multiple users because the number of available IP adresses is limited and ISPs usually give the same IP to several users. A collateral effect of this is that one of such users can receive messages intended for some other user that was using the same IP. From the point of view of other Wikipedia users, there is no easy way to distinguish between users who share the same IP, and messages sent to some user will be seen by all other users sharing the same IP. If the message was not intended to you, you can ignore the message. The most effective way to avoid this is to [[Wp:Account|create an account]], as you have done.

Hi, Anna. Thank you for welcoming me to the Wikiworld a couple of years ago. I'm very proud of the barn star that you awarded me. You are the only individual that I "know" in Wiki editing, so I'm bringing my question to you. Yesterday I drafted a new article and saved it, as advised by the Wizard, in my Userspace.

A reference to 'T.C. Lloyd' of Wales, who gained seven caps between 1909 and 1914 (and was one of the terrible eight), is correct. Although born, Thomas John Lloyd he was always known as 'T.C.' LLoyd. His daughter (my mother) does not know why he was called 'TC' but this seems to have been more common when he played for Glynneath RFC than Neath. Regrettably his international career was stopped because of the start of the First World War.

You are in error. I was making an incremental update to the site and you blocked me from finishing, and it appears you have blocked my further updates to other articles including a technical one on chess ratings. You made a bad judgment and compounded it with censorship that as far as I can tell looks permanent, which will result in my refusing to contribute to Wikipedia in any way in the future. You didn't even leave an explanation of what was going on, which forced me to waste time attempting to make an edit later on that would not work. I don't know what the status of my account is, or what is causing these problems now, but I assume you are to blame. I also got a weird message from some Wikipedia user that looks to be a warning but that makes no sense and also has no intelligible links or explanation. I assume you are the source of these escalating problems and I don't believe you should be in the position of authority that you are.
 
Update: It appears that Wikipedia is claiming that I "blanked the page" when I look at my account activity, but if that was the case, it was not intended. I had clicked on the link on a stub page that said to click there expand the stub, and it gave me a blank page instead of the usual existing text to edit, so it appears to be Wikipedia's fault. Maybe Wikipedia needs to fix their stub update system instead of banning people who try to make contributions to a page that Wikipedia has blanked out? And maybe you should check on my past years of history of worthwhile updates to Wikipedia pages before banning my account, or whatever it is you did. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Simnia|Simnia]] ([[User talk:Simnia|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Simnia|contribs]]) 19:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
:I'm very sorry if me or the wikipedia software misinterpreted your contributions and counted them as vandalism. Could you please accept my apologies? Please understand that Wikipedia deals with a very huge amount of malicious edits every day, and therefore a semi-automated system to discriminate good edits is needed. As that system is not perfect, sometimes good edits are misclassified, and this appears to be your case. I myself have sometimes suffered the classification of some edit as vandalism and had it reverted. Your editing capabilities should have been fully restored to you at this time. Contributing to Wikipedia is a very satisfying activity, and I suggest that you should not deprive yourself of that pleasure only because a couple of edits were misclassified. Again, I apologise in my name and in the name of the Wikipedia community for any sorrow caused by the classification of your edits as vandalism. You forgive us? :-) C'mon, a cool thing of Wikipedia is the people you meet :-) Please, please, come back! We need you!!!

:Thanks for those beautiful words! It's very rewarding that one's actions at Wikipedia not only expand the world's greatest knowledge repository, but also make others get involved and help on that task, specially given that Wikipedia contributors do not get paid for doing their work. I myself was a curious visitor of the site some years ago and got dragged in by the comments on talk pages by others, and by the discovery of Policy pages, which gave me the impression that the evolution of Wikipedia articles was not random, but had solid foundations.

:::::::::I think it's important in life to do what one really likes and enjoys. If you like chemistry, then go for it and make it your job. But I wouldn't became a chemist just because of the money, because I would be doing something I don't like for most of my time. Some people are lucky and they like something that makes money, and some people are not so lucky, so you have to find a compromise and balance between joy and money. I prefer to do something I like and have little money, than the opposite. That's why I chose computer science instead of medicine.

:Good point, but I like science. I would choose to make all my money from music, if it wasn't impossible to get famous. I think I will try to be a scientist, teach the world about science, and try getting famous that way, then make music to stay famous. Of course, if I get some money and a house, and be careful enough, then I will never need to work much. And the best way to do that is making chloroplatinic acid, it is really hard to get, but simple to make. Ever heard of it?

::It's great that you have plans for your future, but I wouldn't be very confident. I'm not keen on saying, "I will earn this BSc, buy a house, marry some partner, and have two kids", because maybe I am unable to get the degree, maybe a fire burns down the house, maybe this partner breaks up with me, or maybe one kid becomes a drug addict. I think that life is essentially unpredictable, so I prefer to focus on the short term. Some aspects of my life are turning out differently than I expected, and my initial plans got trashed. I'm not working for a big company, nor have a big car. Never heard about that acid :) [[User talk:Anna Lincoln|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Orchid">'''Anna Lincoln'''</span>]] 15:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 
::: I normally don't plan ahead much. I just know my goals. I basically set a goal, try to accomplish it, and if I don't, replace it with another, easier goal. And chloroplatinic acid absorbs water from air, stains everything when a liquid, and is worth a lot. A small vial filled chunks of it that is about 4-5 centimeters long, and 2 centimeters wide, is worth about $1500. And with a 31 gram platinum bar, worth $1600, I can make two of those vials. And I need $200 in acid each time, so I get about $1,200 in the end. Plus, I will need $400 in lab equipment before making it. That means if I only make it once, I still get $800. I can make $1,600 a week this way, and in 52 weeks, that is $83,200 a year. That is a lot for a simple job, and if I decide to get twice the platinum and acid, I will make 166,400 a year, which is a lot more than most people make. However, I am not sure who wants pounds of super reactive acid that gets water out the air quicker than a old computer gets dust. Anyway, did you know I collect elements?

::::If it is so straightforward to produce this acid and it makes so much money, I wonder why there are not a lot of people selling it already. What about using petroleum jelly to absorb humidity? I heard that it can do it and is much cheaper. I can't imagine how could you collect elements such as sodium, which are highly reactive. I collected coins when I was a child.

::::: Well, it takes a long time. A 31 gram platinum bar takes about 20 hours of being bathed in hot aqua regia to dissolve. At 10 hours a day, that is 2 days, for a profit of $1,200. Now, I could always do it more slowly. 4 hours a day is perfect, since that means I am done without having to work on it too much each day, or work on the weekend. And like every 2 hours, I need to add more acid. And at the end, there is about 30 minutes needed to dry it. So, it takes time, but it will be worth it. And I don't have any really reactive elements yet. My most reactive one is 1.8 grams of uranium, which tarnishes in air. But, toxic is another story. I have like 5.8 grams of mercury, sealed in resin, and I will also get 0.2 grams of thallium, also sealed in resin. Luckily, the thallium isn't about 5 grams, like the other coins. 5 grams of thallium would be really hard to take care of, considering it's toxicity. And I got thinking, you should friend me on Facebook, it is far quicker to talk on there.

::::::I see you have made detailed reckonings about the process! I prefer to communicate through Wikipedia; I enjoy reading other people's conversations, so I prefer to keep my conversations readable to anybody :-) I have salt here, does that count as having two elements in my collection? [[User ta
