[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. (I'm guessing it's safe to assume you're the same Frymaster I already know.) Your contributions so far look good. Keep up the good work and take to heart the encouragement to "be bold" here. --GrantNeufeld 02:29, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Food, diet, veganism, etc.

I figure that you might have some thoughts on how to expand and clarify the Animal product article I just put up. Please take a look. Thanks. —GrantNeufeld 07:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion in AfD log:

Sorry to bug, but due to some mistakes in the formatting of the AfD after my AfD:Laclede's Lan, it isn't clear if you're talking about the Laclede's Lan... it seems you didn't use the format from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (How to list pages for deletion) when you made the addition on the list page (i.e., using {{subst:afd3 | pg=''PageName''}}). If you need help fixing it, let me know. I'm sure another Wikipedian may have corrected it in the time I wrote this. All the best and happy editting. Bobak 22:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Insensible race

Thanks for the merge tag. That article's creator has been creating a multitude of like articles, and we've been trying to convince him that they should be merged into the race definer's main article, but to no avail. Feel free to join the conversation at User talk:Dark Tichondrias if you want. --Lukobe 18:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Bernoulli

Thought it was grammar. Sorry for seeing incorrect grammar and correcting it. Won't happen again. 216.56.38.130 11:51, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FUCK THE CAPITALISTS

Well, since you're an anarchist and reverted my edit... I guess I'll respect the decision and not vandalize any more. 75.3.128.67 21:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

using collective action to build something like wikipedia does more damage to capitalism than sloganeering. it's all about the dual power! frymaster

[edit] Userboxes: A New Proposal

Hey, I've noticed that you've been active on the Userbox deletion page, either strongly FOR or AGAINST the use of the new T2 for deleting userboxes. I have noticed that most of the community is strong in their opinions on this issue; for that reason, I created my own proposal which attempts to create a middle ground for the two groups, and finally get this debate settled once and for all. I welcome your input into the proposal, as well as your (non-binding) vote on the straw poll. Thanks! // The True Sora 01:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subst: on templates

Hey don't forget to subst: the user warning templates, but putting subst: in front of the template name, like {{subst:test}}. I noticed you had some warnings to possible vandals, but forgot to subst:. It apparently reduces the load on wikipedia to not have to regenerate the codes every time the pages are edited. Thanks. Kevin Breitenstein 02:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to VandalProof!

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Frymaster! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other moderator, or you can post a message on the discussion page. Xyrael T 15:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Using VandalProof on Wine

I saw on the VandalProof discussion page that you'd managed to get it up and running under Wine and the winetools set. Was the process straightforward, or did you run into any bugs? I'm running Ubuntu Dapper Drake and Wine 0.9.9-0ubuntu2 with winetools 0.9-4, and the VandalProof install process was successful (it said it was, anyway). However, when I try to actually run the program, I get two errors:

This application is requesting an ActiveX browser object but the Mozilla ActiveX control is currently
not installed.  Do you wish to download and install it?

followed by (whether I click "Yes" or "No")

Failed to load control "WebBrowser" from shdocvw.dll.  Your version of shdocvw.dll may be outdated.
Make sure you are using the version of the control that came with your application.

I checked, and I do have shdocvw.dll installed in my Wine structure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, Ryan McDaniel 23:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] National Emo Kid Beatdown Day

Whare are u doing reverting my edits as vandalism? I was trying to keep a NPOV the whole time. Did you even read what I wrote? It is well sourced.--God Ω War 18:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

i reverted your edits because they are non-notable and probably vanity-driven. National Emo Kid Beatdown Day has been afd'd.frymaster 22:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Crab Nebula

Your recent edit to Crab Nebula was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 16:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

the above vandalism warning was generated by a bot that got a little confused during a heated revert fest. for the record, the edit in question is here. just to, you know, keep my name clear and all.frymaster 18:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal warnings

Thanks for the link to some useful warnings, on my talk page. I can see those are really much more useful. I'll be using them from now on, and have made a handy little link to them on my user page. Nice script, BTW. :)--Firsfron of Ronchester 17:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signature cursors

I'm intrigued, you said not to go there when I questioned this at Cyde Wey's user page...? Stevage 15:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warnin' me???

No prob, I've done the same thing. :) -Big Smooth 19:52, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

We both went to revert the same vandal on Luxembourg and you got to it moments before me. Many apologies for the accidental warning! (aeropagitica) (talk) 21:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
no prob. damn ceiling cat! -- frymaster 21:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] an anonymous contribution

why are you removing my edits? they are true so please dont remove them thank you, see Captain Planet if you dont believe me!

for the record, the revert in question is this one --frymaster 15:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder

Though you look to be inactive, I am adding this comment to try to help. You had tagged "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder" with a {{sermon}} tag and I have reworded the section in question. I was wondering if you could look over it again to see if it is fit to remove the tag, or if you feel you can offer advice to clean it up, please do. Thank you for your time! --WillMak050389 04:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calgary Wikipedia Meetup

Good suggestion on Haymarket for the WP meets in Calgary. Do you want to book a time and place, please? If you do, please update the Wikipedia:Meetup/Calgary page and send me a note so I can post the event to the Calgary Wikipedia Meetup group, too. (Posting on Upcoming.org, too, wouldn't hurt.) Thanks. —GrantNeufeld 21:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Dec 13 doesn't work for me—Calgary Dollars potluck night. —GrantNeufeld 20:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ABBA

I'm contacting you because you have edited the ABBA article, and look like you might be able to figure out what's wrong there. At the bottom is a link for a template about Mariah Carey. I like her, but it doesn't belong on that page. Can you fix it? -- Fyslee 18:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

done. frymaster 01:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] increasingly cunning vandal

- no warnings yet. User:72.33.91.82 - you reverted first. eg Unicorn Johnbod 04:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

well, only five edits by this ip so far... so at least s/he's not prolific! frymaster 07:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Health Wiki Research

A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

Thanks, --Sharlene Thompson 19:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for help re: JWJ

Your attempts to fix the James Weldon Johnson article after a series of strange vandalisms are MUCH appreciated. I have reverted back to an earlier version than the one you chose simply because in the middle of the obvious vandalism, a couple more subtle changes had been introduced, such as substitution of Jacksonville, FL, with completely different cities in other states. So I didn't want you to think that you had been mistaken for a vandal and reverted on that basis. Some jerk(s) had deleted virtually the whole article, which had taken me hours and hours to develop, so now it's back to where it was. Keep up the good work! Lawikitejana 02:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're such a geek

Stop editing everything you don't agree with. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.96.200.103 (talk) 07:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC).

and that would be... what? if you look at my contribs you'll notice that the overwhelming amount of my edits for the last month have been either counter-vandalism or the adding of citations. hm. -- frymaster 10:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Get a life

Lets talk about how you need to get a life and quit fighting objectivity in things you disagree with! You're part of the reason Wikipedia sucks so badly, friggin wannbe self important morons.

ah, a well-reasoned and insightful critique from an anonymous source. i love these. -- frymaster 21:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Worker Cooperatives

Thanks for you work citing sources on the worker cooperatives article. I actually have some great references to improve this article as I just did a somewhat involved research paper on the topic. Too busy to do it now, but I will get around to it. I also removed the sources needed templates. Thanks again. -- greek lamb 11:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar for Islamofascism!

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Thanks for reverting the changes to Islamofascism. Quite the controversial topic, I'm sure! Here's a barnstar as community recognition for your work. Petercorless 15:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrongful Accusation

I believe you have wrongfully accused me of doing something wrong. There was a wrong entry refering to Wario within the Catcher in the Rye and I simply removed it. I am not sure if the message was automated or not but thank you for your time.

hm. the only rv i made on Catcher in the Rye today was this one [1]... which is definitely me removing some vandalism about 'wario'. now, it was an rv across several edits -- so what might have happened is someone inserted the vandalism, you removed, someone else re-inserted it and i rv'd all the way back to before the original insertion and then accidentally included you in my {{test}} tagging. all i can say is that, if some admin does ban you in the future for vandalism, you can reference back to this post and probably get a strike removed. other than that, if i did tag you wrongfully in haste... sorry. i do strive to be careful (and actually don't test-tag that often since i think most bans are punative rather than preventative in nature, and i'm not a big fan of that) but mistakes do get made occassionally. sorry. lastly, it would be super-helpful if you could sign your posts with ~~~~ in the future, even if you are editing 'anonymously'. certainly helps hunting this stuff down! -- frymaster 06:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consensus decision-making - removal of [citation needed] tag by Peripitus

Hi Frymaster, good call - I've reverted my edit as I clearly had too cursory a look at the reference. The SecGen makes no reference to Eurocentrism and given the substance of the reference perhaps the sentence should go (although perhaps there is an academic ref outthere to back it up)....but I'll leave determining this upto people with a better view on the subject. Happy Editing - Peripitus (Talk) 06:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Twinklefluff

I would reccoment also using

importScript('User:AzaToth/twinklearv.js');

to easly reporting to WP:AIV (it was in the beginning a an update to ARV 2.1, but almost no code left from that day exist now) →AzaToth 02:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] your reverts

I can see that you ait give any warnings/comments to the users you are warning. Unless you have a persistent popup blocker, a window should appear for the users talk page. →AzaToth 02:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] McDonald's

While you're at it, maybe you could delete that Big Mac photo, since it's purpose is POV-pushing in another direction. A look at its user's "contributions" [2] will erase any doubt about his/her/its agenda. Wahkeenah 05:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Never mind, the disrupter is blocked now. I added back the shrub with a neutral caption. Something tells me I might have added that previous caption, many months ago, probably for a specific reason that escapes me now. Sorry about that. But the photo's still good. :) Wahkeenah 05:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 204.29.111.62

Please do look it up, my edit of that ip's talk page was valid. 204.29.111.62 is the ip address belonging to alabama supercomputing, meaning that as http://www.asc.edu/clients/index.shtml says, it belongs to the following organizations: Alabama's colleges and universities are connected to the Alabama Research and Education Network (AREN). AREN provides Internet access for Alabama state government, four-year universities, two-year colleges, K-12 schools and libraries. Legislative appropriations from the Alabama Education Trust Fund provide this access at no cost to a limited number of public schools and colleges.

Currently, some new customers from AETF schools and agencies must cover a portion of their costs. Customers from private schools, 'general fund' state agencies and commercial customers continue to pay fully for services at standard rates.

While AREN was once the domain of the state's research universities, the state's community colleges and K-12 systems represent the greatest demand for new growth. To meet their needs, the Alabama Supercomputer Authority has developed a technical plan that will expand Internet access to all high schools and junior colleges in Alabama, pending appropriate funding. The AREN Client Advisory Group recently has been expanded to include representatives from both K-12 systems and two-year colleges.

Any attempts to ban the ip for vandalism or idiocy or warn them make absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever, and they would affect many EDUCATIONAL institutions. I reverted part of you edit, as a compromise, I left the rest of it there. good night.

whoa! who said anything about 'banning'? the revert that i made (this one [3] for reference was simply to roll back to the junior high designation, not to block anyone from editing anything. i did this because the change, on first blush, looked suspicious... a change from a junior high to an organization with 'supercomputing' in it. people using junior high ip ranges have a history of modifying their ip talk pages (for what reason, i don't know... but, hey, i don't understand the drive to vandalize either and a lot of people do that too) so, yeah, i rolled it back. i also noticed that someone else has rolled back your rollback as well. if you want it to stick i might suggest that you register and get yourself a user name. rc patrollers are more likely to let questionable edits go if it's from a user name... that way an individual can be called to account for a change. the same way you're calling me to account, right? -- frymaster 06:12, 26 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Warning users

I noticed that you've been monitoring the recent changes page and reverting vandalism. However, if you can post a warning on the user's page that corresponds with the vandalism, it'll help get the persistant ones blocked. You can see a list of warnings at WP:UTTM. You can also report persistant ones at WP:AIV. If you knew all this, then just ignore me :) Corpx 06:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
