[edit] Lizzie Grubman

Hi. I've reverted your change of "American" to "jewish" in the Lizzie Grubman article. Could you please explain how you think that change improves the article? Thanks, Nandesuka 17:11, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violations

Please remove the image of Borat.jpg and the song lyrics from your user page, this is not covered by fair use. I love Borat and "In my country" as much as anyone, but sadly, we're not legally allowed to have these images on our user pages. The song lyrics are also considered a copyright violation, as they are coppied verbatim without any encyclopedic merit. Perhaps if you'd like to link to both the picture and the lyrics, that would be acceptable. Thank you, and happy editing. -[[User:Mysekurity|Mysekurity]] [[additions | e-mail]] 02:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I removed them, they did not really serve any purpose anyway. Thanks for the tip. Lapinmies 13:55, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Prussian Blue

Hi, I see that you deleted my attempt at a compromise paragraph on Prussian Blue/Zyklon B. Could you maybe explain your rationale on the talk page? It's been reverted and re-added and removed, but no one will talk about it. Thanks.

[edit] Air crash template box

Thanks! I looked at the airport info box and modified it, because I thought that having a handy summary of an accident would be, well, handy. I chose blaze-orange for the colour because it's an emergency colour and it evokes the flames that so often accompany air crashes. I'm not sure how to make the image section "full-width"; I learnt a lot about templates while I was testing this, and obviously there's room for improvement! --Jumbo 23:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rob Schneider

Do not vandalize pages. Thank You. Namely this one Rob Schneider Sumguy333 17:37, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Bah, you just can't handle the truth.

That is not the issue my friend. You vandalzed the page

(another silly warning)

What the hell? Are you saying that I vandalized my own talk page?

no hunny, u fucked up the rob schneider page when u wrote that he wus a terrible actor. i would not suppose something like that from a respected user.

U is kikeah

well that would be a feat wouldnt it?

Yes that would not

I have honestly never found the time to spend on idiots.

[edit] Impersonating other users

Note sure how you found your way over to my talk page, but leaving messages and signing another users name to it is considered incredibly bad form and could get you blocked. Please use ~~~~ to sign messages; it'll automatically put your name and the date/time in for you. Thanks and Happy Holidays! .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 18:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What?

Why have you left me a message under someone else's name? Deb 19:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPA

Leaving personal attacks and offensive edit summaries are grounds for short-term blocks from editing. Your edit on Doc glasgow (talk • contribs)'s talkpage[1] qualifies. Please behave. JFW | T@lk 12:33, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I said "may be engaged in...anti-Semitism"; primarily the Star Wars / "Jew" line and the stuff about Hitler, etc. on the user page (which are often red flags). If I was incorrect, I certainly apologize. KHM03 19:51, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm equally concerned about User:Lapinmies/List_of_admins_that_have_violated_the_rules. What exactly are you trying to prove here? In my experience, open agitation against "administrators" as a collective has not been very productive. If you have particular concerns about particular admins, there is a remedy. JFW | T@lk 13:45, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bush and NPOV

I reverted this edit you made for being unsourced POV. See WP:NPOV and WP:V for more info. Friday (talk) 23:03, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sandbox heading

Hello, Lapinmies, welcome to Wikipedia. I see you've been editing in the sandbox. That's great - the sandbox is an excellent area to practice your editing skills, but the heading at the top must not be removed.

The sandbox has a special header at the top {{Please leave this line alone (sandbox heading)}}, which is an important notice to new users. Please do not remove this line. Do feel free to edit and type anything below the header on the page, though!

Also, although the sandbox is a practice area, edits in the sandbox must still conform to the good behavior rules that apply to the rest of Wikipedia. That means no behavior which is offensive or irritating to the majority of Wikipedia users. No insulting comments should ever be placed in the sandbox.

By the way, this is your user talk page where any other Wikipedia user can leave you messages. Happy editing! Thanks, Georgia guy 00:10, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I was just testing if the bot works. Lapinmies 00:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV tag at Animal Liberation Front

Please leave some reasons why you believe the article is POV when you put the npov template on an article. I am removing the template for now. If you have specific reasoning then leave it on the talk page and re-add the template. -Localzuk (talk) 16:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I did but you were faster than me. Lapinmies 16:08, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that. It would probably be better in future if you would post the talk comment and then the template. -Localzuk (talk) 16:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change "Crash" to "Incident"?

I've found that you added a "Crash Box" to the Gimli Glider entry and think it's a nice idea (to summerise all air incidents) but the word "Crash" looks a bit drastic to me, especially that in this particular one it turned out to be a pretty normal landing with the aircraft being able to fly on its own a few days later.

How about changing "Crash" to "Incident", as I think it's the normal term in official investigations?

[edit] Wikipedia Project

Hi, my name is Federico (alias Pain) and I am creating a section for nominating th best user page, I was wondering if you were interested in joining the project.

The project has just started, and we need help to spread the word and ameliorate it.

[edit] MilkyMan

I don't think a bunch of sockpuppets is a real "mass demonstration". If each was its own (otherwise legitimate) user, THEN it'd definately be something to talk about. 68.39.174.238 17:47, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MilesD. use of space dog image

Hi, you posted I am using an image that belongs to "Underdogs". This image has been around on the internet for at least 6 years on many free clip art pages, websites, etc. as both a jpg and an animated gif. If you can show me where it is "copyrighted" by Underdogs, I will be happy to request it be deleted myself. Please let me know if you have this information. Thanx much. |||Miles.D.||| 02-12-2006 16:13 (UTC) 16:13, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, here is just one of the many free .gif websites that provide it:

Thanx much. |||Miles.D.||| 02-12-2006 16:24 (UTC) 16:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanx for your comment on my talk page: "...so I don't think it needs to be deleted afterall. Lapinmies 16:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)". I love this little dog astronaut with the antenna on his head, and have used him for years in lots of personal and professional correspondence, so I'm glad it's still appears to be okay to continue.

[edit] Catamorphism

It wasn't catamorphism, it was alienus who started the wheel war. Can you do anything about it? Chooserr 19:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calling someone a "dumb fuck"

Wow, if that's not a personal attack don't know what is. Please don't do that again. See WP:CIVILGator (talk) 19:11, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

He started it by insulting everyone's intelligence. Lapinmies 21:04, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
You have been temporarily blocked from editing for that comment. That is not an acceptable way to address someone who simply asked a question. SlimVirgin (talk) 21:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I would'nt waste a breath on this Nazi scum, Slim. It probably saw I'm a Hebrew speaker and decided to troll. Suggest indefinitely blocking. El_C 01:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I also speak Hebrew, I was just pissed that you did not bother checking out the page's history and said "what" in a sarcastic and insulting manner, as if I had made up the whole thing. I am also quite insulted by being called "nazi scum". I am more of a communist, but somebody has vandalized my userpage to look different, I would revert if I could. Lapinmies 10:44, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Don't be so easily pissed. Don't intimate sarcasm where there was none whatsoever (and I did check the history, that time). El_C 12:09, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Aha, did you change the picture of Mao to Hitler using an anonym account to make a point? The times match up. Lapinmies 10:47, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Ahuh? One of your many well-timed fans, I'm sure. I blocked that "paid" proxy account indefinitely, btw. The claim that it is being used by people from Iran or China to escape censorship appears to be without basis. El_C 12:09, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Okay. Sorry for being so rude, I will try and improve. Lapinmies 13:55, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Milosevic death source

http://www.focus-fen.net/index.php?catid=125&ch=0&newsid=84268 - Eagletalk 12:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Add it to the article. Lapinmies 12:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ovechkin

Thanks for updating the Ovechkin page. I reverted it back to the version from yesterday or so when someone took "The Goal" and some other flattery off. I didn't notice the gay bar reference. I did notice when someone replaced the whole page with that reference earlier. I just hope Ovechkin fans aren't tearing apart Sidney Crosby's page like this.MeekGeek

[edit] Current template

I don't think that the {{current}} template is appropriate for History of the world. I don't see anything changing there rapidly; the material appears quite stable. — Knowledge Seeker দ 22:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of shock sites

Hey Lapinmies,

I really appreciate you showing how off base that Brenneman guy is. But, can you clarify your last statement on the article's talk page? It looks like you're addressing me, even though I don't support the censored version and was just edit warring with Brenneman over it. If you weren't addressing me, would it be possible to reduce your last post by an indent or two and maybe add a bullet point?

Best wishes,

Primetime 07:54, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I removed a few indents, hopefully it is clearer now. Lapinmies 08:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks.--Primetime 08:10, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Primetime and Lapinmies -- even though this isn't your talk page Primetime :-) I would like to thank you and commend you both for your effort on "list of shock sites." I think it is a very significant page, and as a longtime Slashdot reader (my user number is 136568) I can appriciate internet trolling. I am not sure if there are some people here that are too young to know what internet trolling is; I just don't get it. Good work guys, don't give up! - Abscissa 16:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lance_Mazmanian

I'd like to ask you to reconsider this case. I believe that it's quite obvious that Doomsguard is a highly biased voter who is close to Mazmanian, as are a number of the others who've voted, and I've brought this and some other matters up recently. Specifically, I'm concerned that there is a group of friends who are not quite notable enough to be on the Wikipedia but are supporting each other's articles in order to give them credibility. I don't think that the subject was notable in 2004 when the article was originally written and I don't believe that he's accomplished much between then and now to change that case. Well, that's my two cents. But I'd like to please ask that you read the page again if possible to see if any of the recent developments have changed your mind. With many thanks, Girolamo Savonarola 08:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] irc logs

What are you talking about? The only posted log is not from a wikipedia IRC channel, and thus is not protected in the eyes of the wikipedia community. --Improv 17:05, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please help with an article

I think your familiar with the with the Gorgeous George (TV personality) article, either George or a vandalbot is editing and censoring the page. I believe the article should be protected from this blatant vandalism. Please talk to me on my talk page if you wish to discuss this further.Sonic Hog 07:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey thanx for the pic

on my user page; how did you come to my page anyways?--Anchoress 10:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Care to explain your edits to Hell and Imaginary friend? Sasquatch t|c

God is very similiar to an imaginary friend, the additions to hell had a reference link and were added in an ecstatic state of mind. And sorry about the mean stuff, I was caught by surprise when I saw this message. Lapinmies 20:43, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thanks
Lapinmies, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again! Cool3 talk 20:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for the trust that you had in me when you supported my Request for Adminship. The nomination ended successfully and I am actually overwhelmed by the support that I received. Thanks again! -- Kim van der Linde at venus 07:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BI Article

I re-added what you deleted. Please see the discussion as to why. Rupture is a local complication and must be included under that topic in what will be the main article. The photos belong there. The "Risks and Complications" section will eventually become a separate article. That is the reason for the photo duplication. The "rupture" section under the local complication is a much shortened brief discussion of what it is, with a link to what will become the new article on Risks and Controversy. I hope this explains the confusion. Thanks!MollyBloom 18:49, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for supporting me in my recently unsuccessful RfA. I plan on working harder in the coming months so that I have a better chance of becoming an admin in the future. I hope that you will consider supporting me if I have another RfA. Thank you for your support. --digital_me(t/c) 15:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thanks
Lapinmies, thank you for participating in my RfA. It passed with an amazingly unopposed 77/0/1. Thanks for the support everybody! If you see me doing anything wrong, want to ask me something, or just want to yell in my general direction, leave me a note on my talk page. I promise to try and knock out Wikipedia's problems wherever I may find them!

[edit] Edits to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not

It would have been better it you had used an edit summary something like reverted myself rather than revert vandalizm when you reverted your own edit. -- Donald Albury 13:18, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Martin Luther

I noticed you removed the bit on Martin Luther's entry about his antisemtic writings. While I am a Lutheran, and personally find a lot of value in who Martin Luther was, I still am a champion of truth and of history being given as it was with no omisions. I do not think a total removal was warranted. Perhaps better wording, however I can't see how a total removal could have been justified. Martin Luther early on was under the impression that many Jews would flock to Christianity as he interpreted it, however when he saw they were steadfast in their beliefs, he did turn bitterly antisemetic. And he did use vivid, brutal language. (However please not that Martin Luther was still a man of his time. this is not a justification for his antisemetic turn, just a reason why he appeared so virulent about it.) John 21:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't want to hide history, I just think that having a mention about an insignificant detail of his work in the introduction is outrageous. Does not look very neutral. Lapinmies 22:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I like the terseness of your new final paragraph to the Martin Luther intro, but I have seen fit to add a word ("considered"). I feel it suspends judgment until the matter may be taken up in the following section below that deals with the issue.--Drboisclair 16:38, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TfD nomination of Template:User Idolatry

Template:User Idolatry has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. --Keitei (talk) 21:53, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks from StuffOfInterest

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which finished with a tally of 52/6/1 (~90%). It was an interesting process which gave me a chance to learn a bit about myself and about the community. My intention now is to slowly ease into using those additional buttons on my page. No use being over eager and mucking up the works. The support of all those who went over my record and/or rallied to my defense after the big oppose vote was instumental to the success of this review. Again, thank you! --StuffOfInterest 11:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to my sandbox...

was both funny and appreciated. Feel free to contribute more on any of my userpages.  :-) Lawyer2b 21:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA even if it is only a half-vote ;-).

By the way, here's the "diff" for your talk-page edit that I reverted:

That was quite a while ago; nowadays, I doubt I'd have edited. And even way back then, if you hadn't said "racial shit" I probably wouldn't have edited it out. In any case, I've now put back your signature (which I should never have removed in the first place.) Thanks for calling this to my attention.

Atlant 13:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I did not remember being that brash. I would say it was right to remove it. -Lapinmies 15:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
We've both mellowed. ;-)
Atlant 15:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's been a week now that I've been an administrator and I'd like to take this moment to once again thank everyone who supported my RfA, and to let you all know that I don't think I've screwed anything up yet so I hope I'm living up to everyone's expectations for me. But if I ever fall short of those expectations, I'd certainly welcome folks telling me about it!

[edit] Re: Russophobia picture

Hi,

When I said English, I actually meant "not Finnish". I have nothing against Finns, but I don't read Finnish, and as such, I cannot check for allegations of staging. Besides, the passage you translated just says that "It must also be remembered that the picture is taken after the war and staged by the Russians." In itself it is not a proof. Either the book contains an extended citation, in which case it is valid, if not, it's just a hypothesis. The Soviet were known to stage some photos, but using children for this is hard. Besides, the Russian website it was taken in Petrozavodsk in 1944 and that it was used at Nurenmberg trials as proof. I find it hard to believe that it is faked... -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 15:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
