[edit] User:Hut 8.5

Thank you for experimenting with the page User:Hut 8.5 on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Hut 8.5 11:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Please don't screw up my userpage just because you don't like the EU. Hut 8.5 11:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Soz Hut, i just couldent help it. --Boris Johnson VC 12:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Smiles

Could you please fix the smiles on my talk page as anything anyone adds is included in the smile? I can't do it myself because then the smiles say they are from me. Hut 8.5 19:26, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning it up. Hut 8.5 09:33, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Your userpage

Your userpage is getting into a bit of a mess! Hut 8.5 11:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Your welcome to try rearranging it if u like, perhape have one user box for political views and one for everything else...--Boris Johnson VC 11:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I tried something like that, and all I managed to do was screw it up even more. Maybe we ought to put some of the userboxes in your userspace (see WP:GUS). Hut 8.5 12:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


Sorry - I accidentally made the flag too big. Hut 8.5 12:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Afghanistan article

I think I've found the source you used to create the casualties list. Could you please confirm? [1] Hut 8.5 17:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I think it is...im not sure though as it was a BBC news link. --Boris Johnson VC 15:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Bickerton MEP

I've nominated your article for a speedy deletion, as you requested it. In future, there are lists of MEPs on Wikipedia, so check there first. Hut 8.5 15:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

ok thanks_it was a stupid source-prob a joke but i diddent spot this in time. --Boris Johnson VC 15:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Out of interest, which source was it? I'm interested Hut 8.5 15:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

soz, i cant remember the exact address. --Boris Johnson VC 15:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

The only living people I can find on Google called 'James Bickerton' are an American political science professor, a (conservative) Canadian politician and a lawyer who seems to live in Hawaii. How on earth did you manage to mistake one of them for an MEP? Hut 8.5 15:35, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I think it was the Canadian politician, anyway why are u getting so wound up about it?--Boris Johnson VC 15:40, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm just intrigued as to how you managed to mistake a conservative Canadian for a liberal Brit. Please don't take any offense. Hut 8.5 15:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I think it could have been somebody who doesent like the Canadian guy taking the mick...anyway don't worry i wont take offence...--Boris Johnson VC 15:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Assassination article

Again, where did you get the information for the article about the attempted assassination of the President of Somalia? Can you please add sources to articles when you write the article rather than waiting for other people to add the source for you? Hut 8.5 19:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Qur'an

Hi, I read your comment in talk:Qur'an and found it usefull. Please help us to do so, because most of wikipedians who edit that article are Muslim or familiar with it. Thanks a lot. God bless you.--Sa.vakilian 20:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh thanks-except i don't think i really know enougth about the Koran to edit the page myself--Boris Johnson VC 08:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gay marriage

For what reasons do you oppose gay marriage? Dev920 (check out this proposal) 20:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your latest article

I'm beginning to suspect they you're only creating these articles for me to spellcheck! Hut 8.5 15:16, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BBC - why was my section on the Hezbollah/Isreal conflict deleated?

I deleted your insert on Hezoballah/Lebanon-Israel from the BBC page because it contains only one point of view in what is of course a fiercely debated issue and was also (totally) badly formatted and spelled. I think you need to realise that if you are editing something important like the BBC page on Wikipedia which will be seen by millions of people, you need to (a) make an effort to write something properly with correct spelling, (b) distinguish between your own point of view (POV) and what Wikipedia needs to factually tell people and (c) make at least some sort of effort to read the talk page and discuss it before coming into something so controversial. The talk page for BBC is at Talk:BBC. Thanks. MarkThomas 13:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I see you have a lot of problems from this page with spelling - do you have dyslexia out of interest? I am not being critical, just wondering if that's the issue. I would hesitate to rely on others to correct your spellings, Wikipedia is a very busy place and things won't always get noticed except on the most important pages. MarkThomas 14:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I often do help with spellings, that wasn't the main issue despite my rants above. I don't think the POV you presented in your piece was fair - if you add it again, I will edit it but expect me to add more as there are other POVs in that debate! All the best. MarkThomas 14:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British catualties in Afghanistan article

This article has been proposed for deletion. As you were the original creator, could you consider making some improvements to the article? Hut 8.5 08:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes (again)

It really isn't that hard to edit userboxes - can't you figure it out yourself? Please note that adding excessive political information to your userpage is in violation of WP:USER. Hut 8.5 10:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I must congratulate you on your stance of marriage being between a man and a woman. I have nothing against same sex relationships but marriage really is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. bravo!

However, i sorely disagree with your stance on th EU. i strive for an EU superstate. Just think of the power we would have. we would be a superpower! i look forward to discussing this further with you.--Daniel Supreme 16:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Communism

Can I remind you that communism dates from the 19th century, about 600 years after the 'sighning' [sic] of Magna Carta. Hut 8.5 14:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I wasen't speaking litteraly...its called a joke lol, it is designed to imply that communism when't out of date before it was invented...in other words the world would be better without it. --Boris Johnson VC 10:23, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are you really Boris Johnson?

Just curious. --81.157.136.233 16:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Bear in mind that if this user ISN'T Boris Johnson then he's broken Wikipedia policy. Hut 8.5 19:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

What is strange that he actually used 'leet speak' if you look at he responses above not to mention that he spells words as he would pronounce them (eg. 'Dident' instead of 'didn't'). However even my father was suprised at the fact that his son (me) plays the same games (RTW) as Boris Johnson (if this really is him, oh for god sake does BJ even know he has an article on him on Wikipedia?). --81.157.136.233 23:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Whilst I doubt that this user actually is Boris Johnson, feel free to list him here. Hut 8.5 08:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

LOL...No i'm not the Conservative MP who doesent like Jamie Oliver, however believe it or not my real name is Boris Johnson, and i decided to use my real name as a bit of a joke. However it was already taken so i had to add a couple of letters to the end lol. Do u play rtw online, as i am one of the leaders of a clan?

LONG LIVE RTW

LONG LIVE MTW2 (but only if it workes on my pc!!!)

Well, that's a shame IMHO! I don't support Conservative (as much as 15 year olds vote anyway; I just follow my family when it comes to politics) but I still find THE Boris Johnson hilarious on and off Parliament (on HIGNFY, etc) and I have to say you are pretty convincing! You have the exact same nameas well? Wait who was born first? I don't play RTW online and I can't anyway but I plan to once I get MTW2 off pre order on the 10th of November. Good to know the truth though at least! --81.157.136.233 18:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I have to admit that Boris Johnson is pretty funny...almost makes politics intresting!!! And i'm glad to know i'm pretty convincing too, i'll take that as a compliment...

I know that the MP is quite a bit older than me, as i'm in my early twenty's (sad to be on wiki...i know). I generally do vote Conservative or UKIP, which is the reason i wanted to use my real name on wiki.

RTW is great on line and hopefully MTW2 will be too, though i cant get the damb demo to work. U really should start a propper wiki profile...it gets kinda addictive after a bit!!!--Boris Johnson VC 15:53, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] French Intifada

Hey, I just want to say thanks for making sure to source what you added to French Intifada. Thanks! KazakhPol 06:41, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Thats fine, glad to be appriciated...lol--Boris Johnson VC 19:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

Im a little concerned that your large number of political userboxes may violate Wikipedia policy. Could you consider removing or toning down some of them (especially the one urging nuclear war against Iran)? Hut 8.5 16:58, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Jonnycc23

As a general rule, don't edit other people's userpages without their permission. This is particularly important with political userboxes like the one you just added. Feel free to ask this user on their talk page first, but 'Got ya' isn't really appropriate. Hut 8.5 17:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

As he retaliated by adding a userbox to your page, I've warned him. Hut 8.5 19:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar! Hut 8.5 15:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Muslims

See the talk page. Hut 8.5 14:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
