[edit] Folding@Home

Good call on the Folding at Home. I guess I didn't think of that. After writing that, I noticed a few mentions on the F@H forum about having to shut down servers. --ZachPruckowski 23:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC) (oops, forgot to sign the first time)

[edit] SirGrant

you are making extra work for me. i dont appreciate your deleting some of my headings while i am in the middle of updating them. You ought to be astute enough to determine that a user is in the process of actively updating files. joe 14:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Response

I go around on wikipedia using the random article button on the left side. I came across an article that joe was updating and it had a set of blank sections and you can see my deletion of them here [1]. I did not find an article in use tag on the page so I removed some blank sections and did not check the history to check that the page was in renovations since I go around making formatting fixes as I find them. My oppinion can be found here on Joe's talk page [2]. Long story short I think it was a mix of both our faults since I was going around making quick formatting fixes I didn't check that the article was undergoing edits at the time so I just removed blank sections and that was my fault. I think it's not 100% all on me though because I do think a major edit was in progress tag should have been posted. But long story short I think it all just comes down to a misunderstanding.

[edit] reply re blanking out

sorry for using your user page and not the talk page. thanx for the info on the various protocols you mentioned. also, it seems that if you are using a auto routine; the routine should check for time elapesed from one entry to the next entry. i can understand cleaning up a page with blank captions if it has sitting arouind for a week. but if a caption is less than an hour old, that makes a difference. but in any every, i feel obliged to follow the wiki rules and wish you continued success in your editing efforts. joe 02:11, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam blacklist

I don't know why you are adding to the list of spam sites that has been archived. It is highly unlikely anyone will ever read it. You can propose web sites for the spam blacklist here. Thatcher131 (talk) 20:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Response

Thanks I'll make sure to use that list from now on SirGrant 04:05, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SirGrant, your arrogance is unbecoming.

I am quite frankly insulted that you would be so condescending as to accuse me of making a joke edit. I can only surmise you did not bother to click the source cited. As a form of apology, I would like you to personally remove the talk message you placed on my page. 68.88.201.13 02:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Response

This post is in response to this edit [3] and this warning [4]. The post he made was based on the source here[5]. Marcy clearly states "Wikipedia is susceptable to vandles for example frances entry is all wrong it should read..." clearly indicating that she is vandalising his entry. Furthermore this sort of edit is discussed on the PVP talk pages here [6] and [7] here. So my argument for the above edit was that Marcy was clearly either making a joke/vandalism edit and so was the above user as well as many other anonomous IP addresses that edited the page resulting in the need for page protection.

[edit] Anthology of Interest I

Regarding your edit of June 9, "grammer, it's to its, you wouldn't say "It is the pasadena star trek convention all over again": er... yes you would. Was this a brain burp, or what? —Wereon 22:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for fixing Kopa

Hi, thanks for fixing the page on Kopa. Some people keep messing the format and adding nonsense to pages related to The Lion King, like Kopa.

Bye --Starionwolf 18:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Keith Smith

Thank you for your attion on the Michael Keith Smith. What we have with User:Edchilvers is constant vandalism. From what I can see he has introduced his friend Tracy Williams (see Google typing in Ed Chilvers) who is also at it. Smith recently won a libel case against her for internet libel. Dangerous people.

[edit] My recent edits

Hey there, I believe you were a bit mistaken in commenting on my talk page in regards to my Yo Momma edit. I simimply reverted some vandalism. I'm assuming we were both vandal fighting and you or your program got confused. I invite you to either delete, strike, or correct your comments left on my talk page. In any case, no hard feelings, it was obviously a mistake; one I've made in the past. Cheers! hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 05:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Response

Yeah we did make a simple mistake I ended up clicking revert just a few second after you did. Good luck fighting vandles. SirGrant 03:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Dear SirGrant,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that for security reasons, VandalProof's creator requires it's users to have made 250 edits to articles, which you have not. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 07:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summary

Hi- Here at Wikipedia it is convention to fill in the edit summary box when making a change to an article. This can be very brief; often a word or two will suffice. However, when reverting someone else's edits, it is even more important to give your rationale. Recently, in stuffed animal, I changed the captions on the pictures, and noted my reason in the summary box. Today you changed them back, no reason given. We will be more likely to create good encyclopedia articles if we work together, using Wikipedia's conventions. ike9898 June 29, 2005 13:46 (UTC)

   Okay, no problem. The summary box is just above the 'save page' button. When you are reading an article, try clicking on the 'history' tab, near the top. On the history page, you see the history of the edits done to that particular article. This is one of the places comments from the 'summary box' appear. Another place you will see these comments is on your 'my watchlist' page. Happy editing and I'll see you around the wiki. ike9898 June 30, 2005 12:53 (UTC)
