[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. (I'm guessing it's safe to assume you're the same Frymaster I already know.) Your contributions so far look good. Keep up the good work and take to heart the encouragement to "be bold" here. --GrantNeufeld 02:29, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Food, diet, veganism, etc.

I figure that you might have some thoughts on how to expand and clarify the Animal product article I just put up. Please take a look. Thanks. —GrantNeufeld 07:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion in AfD log:

Sorry to bug, but due to some mistakes in the formatting of the AfD after my AfD:Laclede's Lan, it isn't clear if you're talking about the Laclede's Lan... it seems you didn't use the format from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (How to list pages for deletion) when you made the addition on the list page (i.e., using {{subst:afd3 | pg=''PageName''}}). If you need help fixing it, let me know. I'm sure another Wikipedian may have corrected it in the time I wrote this. All the best and happy editting. Bobak 22:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Insensible race

Thanks for the merge tag. That article's creator has been creating a multitude of like articles, and we've been trying to convince him that they should be merged into the race definer's main article, but to no avail. Feel free to join the conversation at User talk:Dark Tichondrias if you want. --Lukobe 18:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Bernoulli

Thought it was grammar. Sorry for seeing incorrect grammar and correcting it. Won't happen again. 216.56.38.130 11:51, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FUCK THE CAPITALISTS

Well, since you're an anarchist and reverted my edit... I guess I'll respect the decision and not vandalize any more. 75.3.128.67 21:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

using collective action to build something like wikipedia does more damage to capitalism than sloganeering. it's all about the dual power! frymaster

[edit] Userboxes: A New Proposal

Hey, I've noticed that you've been active on the Userbox deletion page, either strongly FOR or AGAINST the use of the new T2 for deleting userboxes. I have noticed that most of the community is strong in their opinions on this issue; for that reason, I created my own proposal which attempts to create a middle ground for the two groups, and finally get this debate settled once and for all. I welcome your input into the proposal, as well as your (non-binding) vote on the straw poll. Thanks! // ^The True _Sora 01:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subst: on templates

Hey don't forget to subst: the user warning templates, but putting subst: in front of the template name, like {{subst:test}}. I noticed you had some warnings to possible vandals, but forgot to subst:. It apparently reduces the load on wikipedia to not have to regenerate the codes every time the pages are edited. Thanks. Kevin Breitenstein 02:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Using VandalProof on Wine

I saw on the VandalProof discussion page that you'd managed to get it up and running under Wine and the winetools set. Was the process straightforward, or did you run into any bugs? I'm running Ubuntu Dapper Drake and Wine 0.9.9-0ubuntu2 with winetools 0.9-4, and the VandalProof install process was successful (it said it was, anyway). However, when I try to actually run the program, I get two errors:

This application is requesting an ActiveX browser object but the Mozilla ActiveX control is currently
not installed.  Do you wish to download and install it?

followed by (whether I click "Yes" or "No")

Failed to load control "WebBrowser" from shdocvw.dll.  Your version of shdocvw.dll may be outdated.
Make sure you are using the version of the control that came with your application.

I checked, and I do have shdocvw.dll installed in my Wine structure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, Ryan McDaniel 23:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] National Emo Kid Beatdown Day

Whare are u doing reverting my edits as vandalism? I was trying to keep a NPOV the whole time. Did you even read what I wrote? It is well sourced.--God Ω War 18:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

i reverted your edits because they are non-notable and probably vanity-driven. National Emo Kid Beatdown Day has been afd'd.frymaster 22:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Crab Nebula

Your recent edit to Crab Nebula was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 16:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

the above vandalism warning was generated by a bot that got a little confused during a heated revert fest. for the record, the edit in question is here. just to, you know, keep my name clear and all.frymaster 18:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal warnings

Thanks for the link to some useful warnings, on my talk page. I can see those are really much more useful. I'll be using them from now on, and have made a handy little link to them on my user page. Nice script, BTW. :)--Firsfron of Ronchester 17:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signature cursors

I'm intrigued, you said not to go there when I questioned this at Cyde Wey's user page...? Stevage 15:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warnin' me???

No prob, I've done the same thing. :) -Big Smooth 19:52, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

We both went to revert the same vandal on Luxembourg and you got to it moments before me. Many apologies for the accidental warning! (aeropagitica) (talk) 21:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

no prob. damn ceiling cat! -- frymaster 21:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] an anonymous contribution

why are you removing my edits? they are true so please dont remove them thank you, see Captain Planet if you dont believe me!

for the record, the revert in question is this one --frymaster 15:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder

Though you look to be inactive, I am adding this comment to try to help. You had tagged "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder" with a {{sermon}} tag and I have reworded the section in question. I was wondering if you could look over it again to see if it is fit to remove the tag, or if you feel you can offer advice to clean it up, please do. Thank you for your time! --WillMak050389 04:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calgary Wikipedia Meetup

Good suggestion on Haymarket for the WP meets in Calgary. Do you want to book a time and place, please? If you do, please update the Wikipedia:Meetup/Calgary page and send me a note so I can post the event to the Calgary Wikipedia Meetup group, too. (Posting on Upcoming.org, too, wouldn't hurt.) Thanks. —GrantNeufeld 21:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Dec 13 doesn't work for me—Calgary Dollars potluck night. —GrantNeufeld 20:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ABBA

I'm contacting you because you have edited the ABBA article, and look like you might be able to figure out what's wrong there. At the bottom is a link for a template about Mariah Carey. I like her, but it doesn't belong on that page. Can you fix it? -- Fyslee 18:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

done. frymaster 01:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] increasingly cunning vandal

- no warnings yet. User:72.33.91.82 - you reverted first. eg Unicorn Johnbod 04:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

well, only five edits by this ip so far... so at least s/he's not prolific! frymaster 07:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Health Wiki Research

A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

Thanks, --Sharlene Thompson 19:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for help re: JWJ

Your attempts to fix the James Weldon Johnson article after a series of strange vandalisms are MUCH appreciated. I have reverted back to an earlier version than the one you chose simply because in the middle of the obvious vandalism, a couple more subtle changes had been introduced, such as substitution of Jacksonville, FL, with completely different cities in other states. So I didn't want you to think that you had been mistaken for a vandal and reverted on that basis. Some jerk(s) had deleted virtually the whole article, which had taken me hours and hours to develop, so now it's back to where it was. Keep up the good work! Lawikitejana 02:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
