[edit] Freerunning article

Hi, well done on raising the free running article on the cleanup page. As I mentioned there, you are right, the choice of templates in cases like that is difficult. However, cleanup is a bit of catch-all template, but that also means it gets massively over-used. The thing to remember is to be bold and try and fix things - templates are useful, but someone fixing an article is more preferable. Some options are to copyedit it to improve it, research the subject and expand it or nominate it for deletion. In this case free running is actually another name for Parkour, which already has a good article. So, I suggest you edit the article to redirect it to parkour - I'll leave it for you to do as its a useful one to learn - see Wikipedia:Redirect for instructions. Drop me a note if you have any questions about anything. Kcordina 12:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Forgot a couple of things - when redirecting, make sure you don't create any double-redirects. Here you'll notice that freerunning redirects to free running so you'll need to also change the freerunning redirect. Also, its a good idea to leave a note on the articles talk pages stating why you have made a change such as redirecting (which, hopefully, isn't "because kcordina told me to!).

[edit] Re: Troll warning

Hi, I've replied at my talk page. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 11:09, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JL@999

JL continues to "fail to respond to any post that might seriously challenge [his] claims" and "fail to read the articles we repeatedly direct [him] to." Why continue to explain these things to him, spoon-feeding him information to reward his bad faith? I decided — and I believe Meni decided — to stop responding to his mathematical posts and his insults. Perhaps he'd see lack of response as an admission that he was right all along, but better to have one deluded person than a garbage talk page we spend untold hours updating.
