[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Lo2u, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

[edit] Ancient Greek Wikisource

I understand from your userboxes you're interested in Ancient Greek. I've submitted a proposal to add an Ancient Greek Wikisource on Meta, and I'd be very grateful if you could assist me by either voting in Support of the proposal, or even adding your name as one of the contributors in the template. (NB: I'm posting this to a lot of people, so please reply to my talkpage or to Meta) --Nema Fakei 20:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greek linguistics

Hi Lo2u, I just saw your edit summary here [1] :-) Good one. So, here's another hearty welcome for you! There's quite a lively little community of folks interested in Greek language and linguistics here, and we'll be delighted to see you join our ranks with your expertise. Actually, there's currently an initiative for some rewriting and restructuring of the whole series of Greek-related articles (see Talk:Greek language). Your input would be very much appreciated! And you'd have a nice opportunity of meeting the rest of the club too. So, see you around. -- Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Fut Perf. Best. --Lo2u 00:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neither ... nor!!!

In the Irish neutrality page the nor can certainly not exist on its own and more commonly in used in a Neither ... nor sentence. I don't recall having seen nor being used properly after any negative other than neither but you may well be correct. Anyway, your addition of either is clear and works well. Cheers ww2censor 15:18, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. The nor on its own at the start of a sentence was definitely wrong. Cheers & thanks ww2censor 16:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't say it was wrong - not in the way that "neither" to follow a negative (where "nor" was what was actually meant) was wrong before. Some people don't like "and", "but", "nor" etc. at the beginning of a sentence and I accept that - but there's nothing preventing it, as long as it continues a first negative. My construction ("...it could not aid Britain... Nor could it...") was, for these purposes, identical to (for example) Evelyn Waugh's from Brideshead Revisited:

"I knew they could not be assuaged by words. Nor could I have spoken, for the answer to her question was still unformed..."

And I can give many more examples of its use. I don't mind the change but there was nothing incorrect in what I wrote. "Nor" certainly doesn't need to be paired with "neither" any more than "or" needs to be paired with "either".--Lo2u 18:17, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flyff Edit

Both of the 202.156.6.54 and 218.212.118.230's edits were mine. I think the page stopped loading or something and did not finish loading the Areas/Cities section of the entry. I tried to replace the text, then discovered i managed to miss another small section of the Flaris's entry, and added it in and my IP somehow managed to switch itself around the whole time... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.156.6.54 (talk • contribs) 13:51, 4 July 2006.

Really sorry. Go ahead and make your changes.--Lo2u 13:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem. First or second day at VP? I guess i should get an account... If only Wikipedia let more than 6 people create an account on the same IP on the same day.--202.156.6.54 14:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, second day actually. And what fun. Once again, apologies.--Lo2u 14:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I see... Your vandals leave interesting edits behind, eh?--202.156.6.54 14:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Alright, finally got an account now...--Slayze 11:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Slayze, that's great. And I noticed you saved me the trouble of changing the username on my user page. Thanks. And happy editing. BTW, I thought about adding this to your own talk page but I think it might deprive you of your "Welcome" message if I do.--Lo2u 15:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcome message? Didn't receive any yet in any case.--Slayze 15:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure you will, like item 1 on my talk page.--Lo2u 15:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

It seems that it was a now reported bug that caused the uncomplete loading. http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5643 --Slayze 13:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks from Mlaroche

Thanks for cleaning up my talk page after the vandalism. I appreciate it! --Matt 15:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thank you spotting the vanadal, the Ottawa based IP has now been included in a list [suspected sock puppets]. Sorry for getting you caught up in this whole mess. Pete Peters 00:30, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Matt and Pete, it's not a problem. Best.--Lo2u 09:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You: reverts on my user page

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page - most grateful! Rgds, - Trident13 15:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dalek

I think you left the Test message on the wrong user's talk page. Check the history on Dalek. -Seidenstud16:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

--No problem. But, to make up for it, I'm stealing your "whom" userbox!  ;-) -Seidenstud 20:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 201.25.242.198

I'm just organizing my userboxes, so please stop vandalizing my userpage. Thank you kind and polite mister! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.25.242.198 (talk • contribs) 16:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC).

You're not allowed to remove vandalism warnings. Please stop.--Lo2u 16:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll let your talk page stay as it is. But I don't think edits like this [2] constitute reorganisation.--Lo2u 16:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not me

Hi there. I just got your message. I completely agree with you. It is not me that is changing the name, and I have been reverting the names of communities to "Jews" from the "hebrew-israelites" that someone is titling them. I too believe it is politically motivated and I can say for sure that I am not using a 2nd IP address as I do not have access to one. I am trying to stop the changing of tribes names to "hebrew-israelites" because I too believe that Jews should be called as such. I do not know who is causing the vandalism on that page but I can say for sure it is not me. I apologize if my edits led you to conclude that I was the one causing vandalism. Thanks for the message. Together hopefully we can find out who the vandal is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.127.92.227 (talk • contribs) 02:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. Sorry, I sent that message to lots of IPs. I should have been more careful. Best --Lo2u 08:37, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] African Jew

Hi Lo2u, it looks like vandalism to me, so I've semi-protected the page, and I'll help to keep an eye on it. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 21:53, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] why?

i dont understand why my edit was reverted. If you spend the time to investigate what i wrote, you will not be so quick to call what i wrote 'nonsense'. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.86.130.227 (talk • contribs) 23:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi. If I reverted something that I shouldn't have reverted I apologise. The thing is it's quite difficult for me to work out what you're referring to. You're using an AOL IP that changes with every page you load. If you'll let me know what you were editing (and perhaps why it shouldn't have been reverted, but I won't insist on that) I'll take a look. Best.--Lo2u 00:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Whoops sorry. My talk page was vandalised shortly after you made your post and I assumed that IP left this message. Proper reply pending...--Lo2u 00:38, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, the reason for my removal of this content is that Wikipedia has a fairly strict policy on verifiability. There's a lot about it here. Basically it means that Wikipedia isn't supposed to publish new information for the first time; it must be possible to verify any fact mentioned in an article by looking elsewhere. Your edits look to me like rumours and although rumours might sometimes find a place in an article, with a strong health warning, you don't even provide a date that this happened or the name of the person concerned. If you say your edits weren't nonsense then I'll accept that but they still can't be added here. Not unless you can find a newspaper article or something that verifies what you say. If you source this I'll step aside and let you add the information. --Lo2u 00:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hosses

Hi Stifle. Would you take a look here? I don't know if you remember this page but an anonymous user just added something to the main page and then to the talk page saying it was a hoax and I think he's right. You wrote something to that effect early on but your comment was deleted. Anyway thought you should know.--Lo2u 00:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I expect the prod will go through; if it doesn't then AFD it. Stifle (talk) 09:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mywayyy

Thanks for your note - I'd quite forgotten about our earlier encounter, actually. The story with that Mywayyy guy is a sad one, he could have been a reasonably decent contributor, but he's been on an extremely stubborn revert-warring pattern, until he got himself banned for his continuous block evasions and 3RR violations. We've built all sorts of golden bridges for him, but he just won't understand he can't go on revert-warring like that. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] per Musical Linguist's talk page...

Hi Lo2u. I wanted to drop you a line and address that while I believe Robertsteadman did stalk Neuropean, my intuition is that Neuropean was someone who registered here with the original intent of WP:POINT violations and ended up reaping the whirlwhind by pushing Robert. I see more and more editors who engage in questionable behavior and when things turn pear shaped on them claim "I'm suffering from clinical depression!" (which Neuropean did at least once to Robert). I'm not going to make excuses for Robert, since I feel he did not have basis for the RFCUs (that were denied) and the RFIs (I couldn't find any connections the two times I dug into things). However, I'm not going to shed tears for wounded Neuropean...who may still be trying to play things to his advantage. Maybe with him gone Robert will go back to productive editing. Syrthiss 12:13, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I hope to post something about it at WP:ANI before I go to bed tonight. I feel bad about what has happened, because I saw the distressed message Neuropean sent Rob (and had also seen some of the frivolous RFCUs and RFIs that Rob was filing), and I saw that it was obvious that Rob was stalking Neuropean, and I intended to do something, but didn't move quickly enough. As I see it, Rob was blocked indefinitely, and was unblocked on condition that he would behave himself. I have undeleted the old histories of the Robsteadman user and talk pages, and am also looking at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Deskana for diffs. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 22:44, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Please see my report at AN/I. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 16:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

On the same subject if you think that IP user is Robertsteadman (talk • contribs) evading a block, you might want to say so at ANI Viridae^Talk

Nope not necessary. Musical Linguist may have got in first because I reported him to AN/I, I was just thinking you might like to add a comment if you had delaings with him in the first place. Viridae^Talk 13:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

That wasn't actually a sock report. That was a block evasion one. However if you take a look at WP:AN there is a dedicated page for reporting socks (WP:SSP). Also pages for reporting anything else that needs administrator assistance outside of deletions. Viridae^Talk 13:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

That question I have no idea about. Never had to do it. Viridae^Talk 14:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interracial Marriage

Do you really believe that a listing of fictional couples (many of which who are not even fictionally married) has any place in an article ostensibly discussing interracial marriage? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.149.226.129 (talk • contribs) 22:18, 29 July 2006.

I'm not sure. Are any of these fictional characters married? You may have a point. I have no interest in the article so please don't take my revert personally. It's just that major changes need to involve consensus. Post something on the talk page and see what others say. Hope this is ok. Best. --Lo2u ^{(T • C)} 22:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] edit summaries

Well the edit summary matched exactly the edit... Not my fault we made edits at basically the same time :) /wangi 16:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] OK, ya got me! I was just testing "the system". : )

Would it possibly, please, to have just one humble little link on the "apologetics" article? That really is what my site is all about. It just happens to encompass virtually every other aspect of life, and how to know for certain what "Truth" really is. And, as you can see, I ask for NO donations, and make absolutely NO money from it. I only pray that many lost people may have greater meaning and purpose in life!

Thanks, Mr. Little Guy on the vast Internet Superhighway —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.214.158.50 (talk • contribs) 00:58, 3 August 2006.

[edit] Thank you very much!

Lo2u,

Thanks! I greatly appreciate your time and your kindness! Peace and many blessings to you and yours!

Oscar

PS: If, by chance, you should ever learn that my website has somehow helped even just one person live a better, more meaningful life, please feel free to share the "Three Steps" with as many people as your heart, and conscience, leads you, in whatever ways you can. I also personally invite you to investigate it further - test it out for yourself - as time allows!

These are specific pages/articles I firmly believe (and many others have also commented very favorably) could help the most people, or, help those people who need it most:

Step One: Natural Apologetics

How can we really know, for certain, that God exists?

http://www.threestepstothefountain.com/step1.html

(relevant Wikipedia articles include: depression, anxiety, addiction, absolute truth, faith, reason, God, Intelligent Design, creation, monotheism, atheism, polytheism, pantheism...)

Step Two: Christian Apologetics

How can we really know that Christianity is true?

http://www.threestepstothefountain.com/step2.html

(relevant Wikipedia articles: Monotheism, Jesus, Christ, Gregorian calendar, Pope Gregory, A.D.[Anno Domini=year of the Lord], Islam, Judaism, monotheism, bible, Church, faith, reason, truth, Christian apologetics...)

Step Three: Catholic Apologetics

How can we really know which branch, or division of Christianity is "the most" true?

http://www.threestepstothefountain.com/step3.html

(relevant Wikipedia articles: Catholic, Primacy of Peter, papacy, apostles, magisterium, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, reformation, Sola Scriptura, scripture alone, bible alone, Sola Fide, faith alone, Church history, early Church fathers, apostolic fathers, Catholic apologetics...)

And last, but "soitenly" not least... the "Catholic Jackpot", with many solid, trustworthy links (audio, video, news, bibles, Catholic Catechisms, studies, etc.), and the whole website is FREE! I don't even ask for a donation!:

http://www.threestepstothefountain.com/favorites.html

Thanks again, Lo2u! Peace, prayers, and the love of God be with you! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.214.158.50 (talk • contribs) 23:29, 2 August 2006.

[edit] Mutation

Yes, I noticed that too. Somewhat freaky. Although I doubt that we have met in any other forums before this one, that's where I stole this name from. I currently in the Usurption process to get my old username merged to this one, but the Beurocrats can't agree on the rules behind it at the moment.

But if you didn't notice, my account name is User:ArdoMelnikov, which is a pseudonym I used for the nickname Logical2u on an internet forum (Specifically PSO-world, for Phantasy Star Online games) a long time ago.

Then I forgot I had made a User:Logical2u on wiki. So, I am not attempting to stalk, copy, or impersonate you in anyway. In fact I didn't even know such a name existed on Wiki until that talk page.

If there's been any confusion, many regrets. Logical2u 19:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You and me and Oprah Winfrey

Thank you for undoing (twice, no less) what that anonymous prankster did to my user page. I see that he/she/it also vandalized your own user page as well as the article on Oprah Winfrey.

I'm almost honored to be in such rarefied company.

Again, thank you. ForDorothy 00:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

I've avoided being very clear in my arguments assuming I'd be labelled an English nationalist, which I'm not by the way. I'm Welsh by birth and have little English ancestry. I use the England user box because it was the only one I could find that didn't say "This user is proud to be...". --Lo2u (T • C) 11:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I'd be happy to make one for you, if you're not sure how to. Just tell me what you'd like on it (I assume something Welsh? You tell me). Canæn 19:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Split infinitive FAR/C

Hi there

I wonder whether you're in a position to help to bring this one back to FA standards. Tony 11:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
