[edit] Talk:Walmart
In regards to your question, I too went through all the help pages looking for a code to display template messages but not the category. It does presumably exist, I just can't find it. However, what I can do is offer you the template design code I found, which won't add the category, but will still show you the message: I hope it helps. Dev920 20:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skutt Catholic
Go for it :) You won't hurt my feelings any. I just wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to read the article. So if its posted somewhere else, thats great. Wjhonson 05:04, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- Are you sure you should be removing the comments of others from the Talk page? I mean sure the comment was silly, but still it takes a lot of convincing that other people comments should be purged in that way, in my opinion. I'm talking about the comment you removed from the anon editor.Wjhonson 16:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

- I think "off-topic" might be the wrong expression. If on the Abraham Lincoln page, I say "Abraham Lincoln loved pineapples!" that wouldn't be off-topic. It might be vandalism or libel perhaps :) If someone says "Skutt sucks" thats vandalism I'd say. But I'm just not clear on exactly when we can revert vandalism from *talk* pages. The bar is much higher, then reverting from article pages, it seems. I don't have a clear answer, but it seems questionable :) Wjhonson 18:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] not vandalism to Wal-Mart
I apologize if my edits looked like vandalism. I was attempting to fix what initially looked to me like an error on the page and got picked up by somebody anti-vandalism bot as a vandal. I never intended to be mistaken for a vandal. Dr. Cash 01:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm. Actually, I didn't have a problem with your edits to the financial stuff. I was looking at your edit summary of, "(stoopid google toolbar)," and misread something,... now that I see it, you were fixing an incorrect URL, rather than screwing it up,... sorry! Dr. Cash 01:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Wal-Mart and minor edits
I guess I sort of developed a bad habit with editing other pages; I've been a bit 'liberal' with deciding what is a 'minor edit' ... probably should be more careful in the future. Thanks for letting me know! Dr. Cash 03:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sears
That made my night, hilarious edit and your summary. Happy editing to you! Teke 03:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, wonderful! Don't forget warning templates on the user page. J.reed 03:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: talk comment
If we do not relay true information based on reality, why are we here, why do we bother,if people are to lazy to read then this is the wrong site for them anyway isn't it. And I personlly belive maybe if we were to expand and explain the facts and why they are facts, we would have far less arguing and bs. And a whole lot more information. I think you would be very supprised at how many people are more interested in the how, rather then the what. True education and learning starts with the yerning for information and that leads to educated people, rather then educated fools, which is what we turn out even from this site.
Let me put it this way, its the differance between reading how say a speaker is made on a sheet of paper with no pictures V.S. going into the factory.
And this is where Wikipedia as a whole has failed, not enough real world information just a lot of POV being tossed around. Wikipedia is so afraid of copyright issues it won't even allow the use of true forms of multimedia to relay true information. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a video clip worth a sound clip??? So if my stuff runs long its because of the lack of the ablity to relay the info in any other format. And there is nothing wrong with that.Ase500 06:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Tux if you haven't figured it out I don't care about the "Good" community rules, its BS. So don't bother telling me not to extend my responses, Cuz honestly if you keep it short and sweet, its nothing, a waste of time. If we don't relay true information, which takes many words its a waste, why not just format like this then ex.
Walmart
Sales: xxxxx Profit: xxxx Number of Stores: xxxxx
Ect.....
I am sorry I just honestly don't like people like you, you always have to have some smug response, you can't just let people edit information, and discuss it, your so busy looking up rules, to patrol everyone else. And to be honest when this site started half the rules didn't exist and the whole site was much better off because people could honestly make an effort to better the information. Yes there were many wikifights, and the entries ran long, but atleast there was information here, now since people like you came along, wanting this rule and that rule and then voting on them while leaving the intent and betterment of the site in the dust. It used to be you came here and edited entries, added facts, and if someone had a problem with it you directed them to where the proof was. no everybody is so wrapped up in the rules, and everything has to be discussed, And god help you if you don't follow the rule for this or that, you will have 20 egocentric people writting you about it, oh my god like the world is going to end if a comment or a point runs a little long. Heres a thought for you, keep your smug comments to yourself, none of my points in the walmart discussion where directed at you, it was an explation of why the servant leader discription applies and an example of how the company works with in that guide. And you being you had to go make a deal out of it on my talk page, oh my god, I ran long. How petty.Ase500 10:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Wow can we say dense....Ase500 22:46, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Hows this for you. Like I side try keeping your smug comments to yourself... I don't like people that need to quote the rules out of context simply to make themself bigger(if you know what I mean). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ase500 (talk • contribs) 22:05, 17 August 2006.

[edit] Re:Wal-Mart toc, consistency in company articles
My idea was that we should make all company articles consistent, not just ones about retail companies. Take a look at Apple Computer, Microsoft, Gateway Inc for examples of good structures which all include "Corporate affairs" sections. — Wackymacs 19:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, that's probably a good idea, although I don't like Microsoft either. ;-) I REALLY want to see the Wal-Mart article featured!!! — Wackymacs 19:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think WP:BIZE does have a style guide really, but I do like the structures currently used by those three computer company articles I mentioned. — Wackymacs 20:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: WikiProject Retailing
Thanks for the info! I've added myself to the 'members' list. Another article I've been keeping an eye on is Best Buy. The article was in poor shape, though cleaned up a bit recently. There's still some POV concerns, and some minor criticism (though not nearly as bad as Wal-Mart ;-) ... Though it is cleaner now, it's still a bit light and could use some work. The 'external links' section is a bit long, too. Dr. Cash 22:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ...what?
Okay, I'm not sure how exactly I ended up on your talk page, but I just have to say this: your "...what?" response is awesome. - Valarauka(T/C) 23:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, happy editing to you :-) Regards, Tuxide 02:49, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MascotGuy
Not that I particularly like MascotGuy either, but you should probably refrain from saying things like "rv WP:LTA/MG bastard"—civility and Wikiquette and all. —tregoweth (talk) 21:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't worry about it too much; I think we're all allowed the occasional outburst. It was just a reminder that we should all try to be civil. —tregoweth (talk) 03:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] citation style tag on Gamble-Skogmo
You added the {{citation style}} tag to Gamble-Skogmo, but didn't explain anywhere what was wrong. I don't see any obvious problem. External links are fine, although not the best, of course. Please remove the tag, or clarify the problems you see. Thanks! JesseW, the juggling janitor 22:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] hello
Thank you for contacting me. Yours is the first message I got on Wikipedia. I shall add the information but it will be gradual. Please be patient with me. Thank you again Alfred Legrand 00:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] But Hoobastank is t3h 1337!
How could you delete that, you monster, you!--75.31.214.55 03:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Settle a bet
I was told that you are a bot. To clarify that you are not a bot, please tell me what 3 times 4 is. (It's greater than 11, less that 13!) 03:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:24.5.33.200 (talk • contribs).

[edit] NO Thanks!
Please explain why you deleted my additions! :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:71.192.72.141
[edit] Wide Window
I know it looked like I was vandalizing the article by adding "in the book series A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket", and I'm sorry for that, but if you looked at my previous edits my intention was to just add the byline at the end rather than replacing the whole thing.--CyberGhostface 21:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for being understanding. What does it mean that I was on a blacklist, though?--CyberGhostface 03:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyvio
The page that he copied it from is defunct and can be only accessed via archive.org. It was a faux sheriff's site made by Rob Zombie to promote The Devil's Rejects. If he tries it again I'll go through the records at archive, but I distinctly remember the text that he wrote to be from that site. It reads just like the page, format and all.--CyberGhostface 04:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] oh tuxide
tuxide you are a classy man

[edit] Dropping you a line
For whatever reason, I can't say anything on IRC ("#wikipedia :Cannot send to channel"), and when I attempted to /msg you a response, I got "Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer. Please register!").
So anyway, to answer your question, I've just never considered "pissed" to be serious profanity, especially given that it isn't one of the "universal"-type swears (as opposed to shit or fuck). "Bloody" is, from what I understand, a lot more of a swear word in England and/or Australia, whereas in the U.S., it is incredibly weak; I'd put "pissed" on approximately the same level.

[edit] Your comment at Talk:Hypermarket#"1st" Hypermarket
You said in this sectio of the talk page: Commenting on contributors instead of the content is very off-topic here. Reviewing what was said in that section, I found only four mentions of user Caldorwards4 (I'm assuming that is who you are referring to as the editor being commented on), and all of those were in the context of discussing specific edits (Caldorwards4's source, Caldorwards4's rv, Caldorwards4 had to find his link ... Caldorwards4's entry). As far as I can tell, in no way whatsoever were they a violation of WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL, or WP:AGF, and all of the comments were intended to improve the article (being about hypermarkets, which company had the first, and who pioneered the concept, are certainly relevant, in my opinion).
So - could you identify some specific wording in that section that is problematical, or when you said "here" did you mean some other section (such as "Hypermarket Pioneer")? If the latter, I'd really appreciate your moving your comment to that other section, since where it is now implies there are problems with the section it's in, and if that's not the case, then it could be considered misleading.
Thanks. John Broughton | Talk 13:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ST47 - necessary?
I understand you are just trying to help but maybe you could be a bit less mean to ST47? It's not my place and not my rules, I guess, but you seemed a bit confrontational. I thought my cooler head was doing the job but that's a judgment call I guess. Thanks. BonniePrinceCharlie 18:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
