[edit] Citations needed
- Very succinctly put edits so far on Voyage Au Pays Des Nouveaux Gourous. However, I have found that no matter what the factual correctness may be behind your edits, they may not stand the test of time without utilizing citations in proper format. This involves using the typical Manual of Style type citation format, and bracketing it as a footnote around the citation which will appear at the bottom, utilizing this technique Yours, Smeelgova 05:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC).
[edit] How to create a User Page
You may wish to create a User Page. You can just click on the red "user page" tab uptop, or invariably also click here to edit. There is some interesting information on User Pages at Wikipedia:User page. Here is the list of Userboxes, and this is some Wikipedia information about Userboxes. Yours, Smeelgova 19:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC).

- I found it in the end:) Thanks. They are so derangedly obsessed with stopping this article and film being online every which way. Not acting like they are in a controlling cult at all, lol:) Thanks again and I like all this that you are doingMerkinsmum 18:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- No prob. Yours, Smeelgova 19:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC).
[edit] don't go:)
I understand your feeling that we cannot beat the trolls because they exhaust our capacity to care:) So it's up to you if you can be bothered with it anymore:) But I hope you will stay and do more/different wikipedia stuff, or if not that I will see you on a prominent 'anti-cult' forum:) or elsewhere online. Because I have enjoyed working with you on these issues.Merkinsmum 03:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- As stated before, with an organization like we are dealing with, that has sued everything in its path with a pulse and a pen over the last 35 years, it's not worth it anymore. Between the administrator who is cooperating with the 10 or so Landmark obsessed individuals, and the individual who issued a blatant legal threat against me, it's just not worth it anymore. We'll see what will be done by others in the future. There is a chance I'll be around, there is a chance I'll come back, but probably in a much more subdued, lighter format, or on other topics as you say. Good Luck to you, and you can email me if you need other help. Yours, Smeelgova 03:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC).

[edit] we won
Oh I am so pleased aren't you, about the 'Gurous' article.:) I had given up and lost the will to live. I honestly expected its demise. Then on another site I heard it had been keptMerkinsmum 23:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed. However, be very very carefull not to gloat too much, lest you be blocked by a random roving trigger-happy Wikipedia Administrator of an opposing POV. Be in touch. Yours, Smeelgova 23:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Censorship
- You might be interested in joining this group, especially in relation to everything that has been going on lately: Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedians against censorship. If you do join, let me know, and let me know if you have any trouble adding the userbox to your userpage. Yours, Smeelgova 04:48, 21 October 2006 (UTC).
- On another note, I just found another interesting group of Wikipedians that I had not heard of until now: Category:Inclusionist Wikipedians. Again, if you are interested in this one let me know if you have trouble putting the userbox on your page. Yours, Smeelgova 04:53, 21 October 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Joy of Satan article
Normally I do, but we were talking about (a) a copyright violation/link spam and (b) apparent nonsense. If the apparent nonsense was real, that's a different story. My bad. - Lucky 6.9 02:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
You're right. Truth is stranger than fiction. I don't remember whether or not I locked down the title, but if I did, I'll unlock it so that you can edit it the way that you did on the article you pointed me toward. It'll be one hell of a hot button issue, no puns intended. :) - Lucky 6.9 14:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Much as it pains me to say it, go ahead and create it. - Lucky 6.9 21:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nice work. I just logged on and saw the article on the new pages page. Naturally, the Roman Catholic in me is screaming bloody murder.
Lucky 6.9 has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

[edit] FYI
- On the Voyage Au Pays Des Nouveaux Gourous article, you may have made a mistake, looks like the anonymous user was actually adding info, not blanking it. The only user who appears to be summarily blanking tons of stuff at will is User:Sm1969. Yours, Smeelgova 08:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC).
