[edit] David Cohen
Just dropping by to say that his article needed expanding and you did a cool job of it. Keep it up! - iGod 08:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] AID
[edit] cmh
Well, I just finished adding comments to both your pages and another user has deleted them. I happen to have the edit pages in my cache, so I'm reproducing the comments here in the hopes they will help you. I'm bringing across your comments too for context. Feel free to delete all this crap from here later if you like. Of course, I just realized that I misspell Abel throughout... oh well you get the point.
[edit] brutus
i fail to see how this is not neutral , i will not remove the tag but the floor is open to discussion also this is a small article and my time is limited so i try to add to it each day at a small trickle rate... i would of appreciated if you contacted me first Kingpomba 07:52, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hi there. Sorry, I should have contacted you first. I was going through newbie pages with no accounts and didn't check thoroughly. cmh 14:44, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the article, when I first approached it I suspected it was written by the author of Brutus due to the emphasis on popularity and download counts. I removed the download counts, but the reference to popularity remains. I put the POV tag on it because I was hoping someone would come along with a second opinion about the article as a whole. Thing is, the article does read like an ad to me. It's exuberant about what Brutus can do, but not so hot on the side of why we should care. In retrospect a tag for context might have been a bit more appropriate than the NPOV one. I think in order to escape from POV, the article needs to establish why it is a notable system in terms of what it has been useful for, its history, etc. More than just a list of great (or not so great) features. cmh 14:44, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cain
i just created the page , i hope it grows in size and in information , cheers, Kingpomba 11:37, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- I hope the same. Thanks for asking for my review. My comments are similar to the Brutus (software) page in that I think the article lacks context. In other words, why should we care. Wikipedia is not a collection of internet directory pages, so this tool's simple existence, IMHO, is not enough to justify the article. cmh 14:44, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Regarding style in this article, I'd put commas right after the term with a single space after. (So foo, bar, baz. Not foo , bar ,baz.) The first sentence is much too long and has several main ideas... consider breaking it up so there is one main idea per sentence. (I recommend reading the article aloud when there is no one around, you'll immediately spot problems like that.) Able is not capitalized at the end of the first sentence. I wonder whether there is a need to identify every kind of hash in the world that it supports. This is an encyclopedia which means that we should be complete, but it also means, IMO, that we should present the important facts, not just all facts which are true. Lastly, this article should be linked to appropriate categories. Good luck in improving the article! cmh 14:44, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Hey. Saw you deleted the brutus page. May be for the best, but hope you keep contributing elsewhere! cmh 05:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David X Cohen
You added "David Cohen has also supposedly been exchanging e-mails with key members of the futurama staff about it's possible revival." to the David X. Cohen article. Just wondering where you heard this. I'm patiently waiting for some sort of official word that Futurama is coming back. Tnikkel 04:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism reversion
Although test templates do not have to be used in order, giving an anon user an "only warning" template is often over the top unless it's something like deeply racist vandalism on high-view talk pages. Try {{test-n|Article Name}}, or {{test2-n|Article Name}}. There are an amazing amount of templates suitable for lots of different situations at Template:TestTemplates if you'd care to take a look. Thanks for fighting vandalism, I hope you can find the time to carry on! --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 10:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you i am most honored to even have you come to my talk page and though i am only a few hours new to the vandal busting game, i will continue to fight the good fight. Kingpomba 10:13, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- There's nothing special about me, I just try and help where I can. Hope you like it here! --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 17:54, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your VandalProof Application
Dear Kingpomba,
Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.1 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that not enough mainspace edits. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.

It has been proposed that Cain (Software) be deleted. I thought this may be of interest to you seeing as you were the one who started it. See you around. MichaelBillington 11:34, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Futurama: Bender's Big Score
Hello. Regarding the Wikipedia page "Futurama: Bender's Big Score", you wrote on my talk page: "You removed the proposed deletion and gave no reason, therefore i am placing it on this article again" I did not perform that particular edit; you're looking for Wikipedia user Luna Santin. --Shawn81 19:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
