Dear Frosty0814snowman,
I am very sorry for editing the human page. However I take offense to the fact that you called it a joke. It was not a joke, even though I know it was wrong to edit the page. Chickens treated bad by KFC is a very big problem for which I am willing to make sacrifises to defend the chickens. Anyway, sorry again. GOOD luck!
Hi Frosty - thanks for the question and your interest in the Sicilian language. The easiest way to answer your question is to mention that until very recently the ending -tati was the correct Sicilian ending. I think it is similar (if not identical) to the original Latin and I also think that Sardinian, Corsican and Neapolitan retain something similar. I also think that it is probably equivalent to the Spanish ending (from memory) -dad. More recently, with the overwhelming influence of Italian (which most Sicilians now know better than their own language), the Italian ending -tà has crept into everyday use, so you will now see written cità (Italian: città), rather than citati, etc. Also compare the words for "age": IT: età; SCN: etati (although there are also other dialect variants of the latter - but that's another story!). Salutamu! ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 01:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Frosty - thanks for your notice to me, I've considered what you said. Could we please discuss this further? Thanks BAH 15:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Talk page archiving
Instead of blanking comments from your talk page, it is preferred that you archive the contents when it becomes too long instead. This allows other users and yourself to view previous comments and material. Happy editing! — ßottesiηi (talk) 21:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your VandalProof Application
Dear Frosty0814snowman,
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 06:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] False vandalism accusation
I would appreciate it if you could take a second look at your decision to give me a vandalism warning for my edit of fuck. All I did was add fuck truck to the article's see also section. The article this link leads to -- about the Wellesley College Senate Bus -- is a valid wikipedia article that has survived multiple deletion debates. Although you may not agree that this belongs in the see also for fuck, this was a good faith addition of what I believed to be a topic related to fuck, a topic with notability established through wikipedia consensus. This was not vandalism by any definition of that term and for you to accuse me of vandalism for this addition looks like a personal attack. I am an experienced editor with many, many good faith edits to wikipedia. In fact, I myself have reverted quite a bit of vandlism. As such, I do not appreciate receiving unjustified vandalism warnings. I would appreciate it if you would remove this warning from my talk and leave a brief note stating that you have done so so and that my vandalism warning level remains at zero. Thanks in advance for your help with this. Interestingstuffadder 00:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I thought this edit was yours. Sorry. Frosty 02:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. No problem -- we all make mistakes. I appreciate the way you handled this. Interestingstuffadder 03:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neopets
Regarding your revert to the Neopets article. Although perhaps badly written, lacking references, and not 100% accurate... the information you reverted is widely believed to be true. I wouldn't personally say that it was vandalism, just a bad edit. Also, User:64.59.144.21 is a mass-shared IP, and hasn't had a warning in the last 20 days. I would suggest that test4 was inappropriate. Anyway, just my thoughts. Jibbles | Talk 00:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Martin Schleske site = linkspam? (I think not)
Hi, I see you removed an external link from Violin calling it "possible linkspam." The wire-frame animations are worth several thousand words, showing how the parts of a violin vibrate at various frequencies. The Schleske page first came to my notice as a result of the postings of Chicago violinmaker Michael Darnton on Maestronet. If Mr. Darnton respects the work of Herr Schleske, then so do I. If you want to know why I respect the work, the writing, the photography, and the good intentions of Mr. Darnton, then go read his postings there and elsewhere, or visit his site, where you will find an excellent photo essay on the making of a viola.
I am all for reducing the bulk of the Violin article, so I don't intend to put that link back, but I have added it to Violin construction and mechanics, where it has a better chance of reaching an interested audience.
be well! Just plain Bill 01:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism edit
Sorry, you are entirely correct and I apologize. I do not know how to edit the history there, and of course it should be corrected. Any suggestions? Risker 23:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, you can't edit your edit summary once it is in the history page. -- FrostytheSnowman 'sup? 00:07, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Username/Types of usernames used by vandals
I hope you don't mind that I've speedy-deleted this page and removed your MFD listing -- the page really had no redeeming value at all. I'll undo it and let the MFD run if you prefer, but I don't think it would give a terribly surprising outcome. — Dan | talk 06:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- No, I don't really mind. -- FrostytheSnowman 'sup? 11:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your vote on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit (third nomination)
Your latest vote at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit (third nomination) now makes no sense becase it referenced WP:GAME, which has been speedily deleted as a contribution by a banned user, who was recently exposed as Willy on Wheels (a.k.a. Bobby Boulders). Could you please explain your vote, or change it if you decide that the page should be speedy kept? It turns out that the person who instigated the second MFD (which was improperly closed and had to be redone) was exposed by CheckUser to be none other than Willy on Wheels/Bobby Boulders.

[edit] Sockpuppet categories at DRV
My apologies for the impersonal nature of this message, but since you participated in the recent Sockpuppets of Outoftuneviolin discussion, I thought you might like to know that the categories are now at Deletion Review. This is not a solicitation of a specific response, as all participating users were notified, but your input would be appreciated. Thanks! - EurekaLott 00:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Perhaps not the best approach?
Tagging something with a speedy after you yourself placed a CfD notice on it (and the cfd wasn't going your way) was perhaps not the best approach. It caused an erroneous pair of deletions, and a very big waste of time on DrV. I'd ask you to consider not speedy tagging things while the are subject to deletion discussion. Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 13:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A little bit of info
Hi there!
If I am not mistaken, as I do not use wikepidia's talk often, you have sent us a message about vandalism. If you have not, please disregard this message, or forward this to the apporpriat person. We are a school, in Byron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron,_Illinois), so if you feel it nessassary, please block us from editing, because the vandalism will no stop, unless our school implments punishments for this.
Thankyou for pointing this out, and I will bring this to the attention of our technology teachers, Jeff Davies.
PS. Please do all futher contacting of us via email, our schools website is http://www.leeogle.org/byron/byron.htm, or you can contact me at Exiled.one@Gmail.com
Frosty,
I added the links to violin and viola samples because they are free and offer readers a chance to hear these instruments in an anechoic (echo-free) setting. I don't see how this counts as spam.
[edit] NOCl cleanup
What did you have in mind with the tag on NOCl?--Smokefoot 20:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I haven't a clue what your on about with regard to the link I left from Liszt. This link does not take individuals to a site for which I have any connection with at all. Indeed it is based in America whereas I am based in Canterbury, England. I was merely highlighting to individuals that there is a FREE SITE on the internet for downloading sheet music. There are no payments made for downloading this material as it is available quite legally to all (as these sheet music editions date back to the late 19th and early 20th century and are therefore well out of copyright). What on earth is your objection? The whole purpose of the internet is to allow the free flow of information in order to enlighten all our lives. The only kind of individual who would complain about out of copyright sheet music appearing on the internet would be someone who sells such material to individuals in conventional music stores. Is this where you are coming from???
[edit] Accelerated Christian Education
Hi Frosty0814snowman,
I notice that you have edited Accelerated Christian Education or Talk:Accelerated Christian Education. You may be aware that this article was tagged for clean up in September. I have started a rewrite of this article at Accelerated Christian Education/draft. Please take this opportunity to make improvements to this artlce.
Also note that material about the administration of the ACE curriculum in schools should be included in a new article at School of Tomorrow, not in the Accelerated Christian Education article.
