[edit] Sony Computer Entertainment

It's OK, I agree but let's remove PSX "losses" because isn't a loss and call of these is POV. --Brazil4Linux 19:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The list of Super Bowl Champions List and about it!

I'm sorry! I didn't know that what I was doing was vandalism. Thanks for telling me about! I'll leave that caption of the Green Bay Packers helmet and their victory in the first two Super Bowls alone from now on!

Thanks! Editing Wikipedia Articles will become even more fun through time! Peace! Alakazam 17:09, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tucker

I guess my reactionary rv came from traditional journalism ... but I'm not wedded to it. The article needs a clean up, butI'm not theone to do so. Plus, I feel that in the past year TM has moved from humorous to bitter and ... not funny. Just my opinion.

Cheers

[edit] My story

Hello Ryan,

I'm working on a Boston Globe story about wikipedia and I'm interested in finding and meeting some local enthusiasts. You can email me at mehegan@globe.com or phone at 617 929-3263.

David Mehegan Boston Globe

Who are you and why did you post on my talk page? My name is Paul, look at my user page for more information about me. PaulC/T+ 05:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ken Kutaragi

I'm requesting your opnion about this dispute. Lot of POV-Pushing, the article is currently blocked. --GroundZero 23:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The word "persuaded"

Good day!

I was reading your comment regarding the use of the word "persuaded" regarding Kutaragi. In your opinion, what word would better be suited for the article? Honestly, I don't see a more fitting way of putting the term. His original research regarding Nintendo was widely opposed within the company. Indeed, it took a great deal of persuasion on his part (and debate) in order for him to finally secure the way for the research. It seems to me that stating that he "persuaded" a reluctant Sony management into funding his projects would be a nonobjective way of putting it. Perhaps "convinced" might be more appropriate? Daniel Davis 11:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC) (Doom127)

I have no problem with the word persuaded at all. I don't know what the deal is with that, but if it will make things smoother convinced should work just as well. I haven't really had a chance to really go in-depth on the article, I was just giving it a quick once-over as per GroundZero's request. When the article gets unprotected and I can actually edit a version of it I'll take a closer look. PaulC/T+ 11:52, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: B.C. Formatting

I'm using IE 6, on an 800x600 Windows 2K.

The fields containing ACC and BC-related links were on top of each other, one obscuring the other. I fixed it by merely pressing return a couple times in my edit, and it was fixed.

The second time, the "categories" field had obscured one of the aforementioned fields, and a couple returns fixed that as well.

It looks fine now, but it was a train wreck a little while ago. --DodgerOfZion 08:07, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Re: B.C. formatting

Mea Culpa on the sigs. I'm still new to the Wiki thing, and it'll take some getting used to. I retro-ed my sig on the previous input.

I just tried it in Firefox, and I guess it was just a fluke, for the old pages turned up normal. There's enough wrong with this computer without something in IE being flawed. I called it like I saw it, and I saw things obscuring one another, so I fixed it. --DodgerOfZion 08:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Note to Paul about Apple Stock

Dear Paul, I did that because of what happened when I added a few words about the stock's history into the article on Apple Computer, since I thought it was about the company, and it did belong in the article. I also wanted to talk about Apple's marketing idea of selling the Macintosh to students and faculty at universities before the Macintosh had a name; I thought it would be interesting and an indication of Apple's marketing style at that time, 1983. But, a Wikipedia senior editor kept taking out my additions, no matter what I wrote. So I tried another route. But that senior editor sent me strange, angry, and rude messages, so I stopped contributing. He told me I was annoying people by contributing to the article, so I stopped.

[edit] BCDS

Hello, Did you create the article for Buckley Country Day School? While the article is good I think it can some expansion, plus I feel that it overuses superlatives, such as in "state-of-the-art Hagedorn Library Learning Center contains well over 16,000 volumes". Let me know if you'd like to continue improving it. Cazador 04:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I replied on your talk page. Please, do your best to make it better tho!! PaulC/T+ 04:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neighborhoods

Good idea linking to the neighborhood list on the Template, I kept the word not as a link for a while, but it needed to be blue to look nice. I'll do it to the others to. I hope people will fill in more neighborhoods so they can be added to the list. I still have to do the Bronx. Have you done any for Boston? The templates make navagition so much easier, but some of them are poorly designed, and not pleasing to the eye. Each state template is in a different format, what a mess. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 22:19, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

No, I haven't really looking into these templates at all. I happened to see you adding them to some Queens neighborhoods that I have on my watch list and I decided to add the template to the main list. When I added it I realized that page would be a good addition to the template also. I am going to school up here in Boston, but I don't really know too much about the area so I'm not sure where I would be able to help. I really like the templates tho, too bad a lot of the places still haven't been added to wikipedia. PaulC/T+ 03:48, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Hi I Am Marc:

I was recently married to my lovely wife; We have lived together for several years already...

  • We love cats (3 currently own us)... Jeffy(15), Echo(6) & Gizmo(3). All sleep with us in the big bed and no room to move an inch.
  • I was Disabled in a 1993 (Coma)/ and am very slowly recovering. It's tough going out sometimes, though with friends I still do. I have a few supportive friends.

I am what I am I'm strongly opinionated about disabled peoples' rights and jobs for American citizens who have trouble finding minimum wage jobs in my state today and support Universal health care, I would be dead if I did not have it. I am an idiot about Internet social skills. I hope that the Immigration Reform bill will protect disabled citizens who wish to work like myself first before considering allowing new people to come here. I was searching for an internet forum to be my outlet to express my needs, but found that Wikipedia is not best suited for that. I'm brushing up on Wikipedia's rules of conduct, and slowly starting to begin contributing again.

Current book and CD I own hundreds of rare books

  • Current Book Jack Whyte: "Uther"
  • Current CD Faves:
    • Warren Zevon... "Life'll Kill Ya"

[edit] ISBNs

Okay, I'm not trying to be a jerk here, and We (yes, the great and all knowing "We") appreciate the work on the Tucker Max entry. However, by usin' this here fancy Interweb thingy, you can find any ISBN you want here.

Thanks again. User:ljheidel 06:09, 30 May 06 (UTC)

[edit] Netflix and "Hacking Netflix" link

I notice you've made some contribs to the Netflix article in the past. Would you mind popping by if you have a chance and contributing any thoughts you might have on the ongoing "link to Hacking Netflix.com" discussion on the Talk page? There is a single member (Efreeti) who is dead set against this, and I'm hoping to get some more editors involved to try and enlarge the size of the consensus and put this to rest one way or the other. Thanks, David Oberst 15:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC) (a fellow Mac and Safari user).

[edit] Jesuit Ivy

Hey, I'm requesting your opnion about this vote for deletion. Seems like the initial motive for deleting it was a misguided notion of "self-styled" boosterism. Now it looks like the article will be merged with Boston College, which in my opinion is already too long. Anyway, have a look and leave your vote/comments. -136.167.93.113 02:23, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Howdy from the Heights...

... ok not really the Heights, but Newton campus. Anyway, it seems like there are a few other lurking BC Wikipedians here, so I thought I'd make a BC user template ... yes I'm procrastining ... Check it out: Template:User bc and let me know what you think. ( Template:User BC (captialized) is already being used for those darn British Columbians) Droitet 22:32, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Howdy

Looks like we are trampling over eachother. Take a look at my edits and see if you want to incorporated them. I'll have a look tomorrow. I should hit the sheets anyways ... Droitet 08:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
