[edit] United States article nomination

I still would like a response or offer a clearer explanation for your objection to the nomination. --Ryz05 t 02:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I still would like a response as to what you think. Thank you.--Ryz05 t 17:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I still would like a response or a change of vote. Thank you.--Ryz05 t 23:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
The thing is that some are objecting because of the size while others object because of its comprehensiveness, so it is unfair either way. Also, just about every article (especially that on a popular topic) is vandalized. Finally, citations are important as references. I ask you to reconsider your vote. Thank you.--Ryz05 t 23:21, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My userpage

You can't tell, that's the point. It's a practical joke. Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 01:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rapunzel Unbraided

If it stops people dumping other articles that are just as speculative (if not more) and pointing to this as valid precedent for inclusion, despite the patent policy failings. 81.104.165.184 13:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 270

Say, Georgia guy, do you have an opinion on 270? Anton Mravcek 22:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism is a strong word...

...so don't use it lightly. In this case, I think the anonymous contributor had simply been taught si instead of ti (I've heard it both ways), so we shouldn't call it "vandalism" or assume any malicious intent. —Keenan Pepper 22:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

As I have pointed out, repeatedly, and will continue to do so, this user has a long history of calling ANY edit that he either does not understand or does not agree with vandalism. But, he's also very dilligent with correcting *actual* vandalism. But it does give one the appearance of crying wolf. Zero sharp 18:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moscow Metro edit war

And what exactly does it mean, if I may ask? I mean we have already had a poll, with pretty clear results. Sorry if I'm answering your message in a wrong way or in a wrong place —Sascha. 19:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Answer to your question on Talk:English_language

No, I don't think so.... Glad you haven't given up yet! Cultural Freedom talk 07:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] olympics

They sent my yacht club (the brigantine yacht club) a letter saying that.

[edit] D-flat Minor

No I can't unfortunately (I am not an expert in this area) which is why I suggested that such information be added to the article. But it must logically exist and this seems to confirm that it is at least recognized by people who know more than I do.

Looking on Google, music does exist in this key, for example: [2] and there is at least one Rachmaninov piano concerto [3]. Gwernol 18:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

(Very sorry about dropping that on your user page by accident. Mea culpa. Gwernol 18:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] List of Disney theatrical animated features

Yeah, some people are just oblivious, either accidentally or deliberately. If that anon makes that edit again, I'll probably semi-protect the article. —tregoweth (talk) 21:59, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Template

I am temporarily adding a yet nonexistent template because I want to add the colors to the template that use that template. The template {{Shades of brown}} will be installed shortly after I copy the colors into it. Otherwise, I would have to go to each page, get the color, go back to the template and insert the color, finish and save the template, then go back to all the pages I just visited and re-edit them to add the link to the template. I might miss one of them the other way. This would seem to be more efficient. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 21:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox_Color

Changing the spelling from 'color' to 'colour' is not "Vandalism".

see Wikipedia:Vandalism#What_vandalism_is_not: "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Apparent bad-faith edits that do not make their bad-faith nature inarguably explicit are not considered vandalism at Wikipedia. For example, adding an opinion once is not vandalism — it's just not helpful, and should be removed or restated." Zero sharp 22:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

 I just put the link on the 5th PBS ident to prove acurracy. But I apologise if I inconvenienced you

in any way, shape or form. Thank you.

[edit] Moscow Metro

Um, that's not really ridiculous, because it's his own table. If he doesn't support his own table then I take it back.lensovet 21:45, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Valeria Novodvorskaya

The person in question is explained in article. It is an iconic image presentely used to show a behaivoural trend. Like one user we know of. --Kuban Cossack 00:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning messages

Hey, nice work warning the vandal Pido1337, you might want to use the templates listed at WP:VAND instead though. Keep up the good work.--Andeh 18:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Intent of creator of category

Found it: "BTW It's supposed to be a parent to two subcategories, not actually listing articles. -- User:Docu" from Category talk:Women --Usgnus 23:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Just want you know that I respect your position on this matter even though I disagree. --Usgnus 02:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification of Stance on Moscow Metro

Can you please clarify your stance on the Moscow Metro table fiasco? Please indicate your support for either Table 1 or Table 2 (or indifference for which table goes in the article) by commenting in the vote section of Talk:Moscow Metro#Final poll. -- joturner 13:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Mediation for Moscow Metro

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Moscow Metro, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.-- joturner 05:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2016 Summer Olympics

Well, this article is need of some cleanup. All speculations must be cited to avoid pages with WP:OR and to ensure WP:V. See WP:CITE. Ian Manka Talk to me! 17:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] L.A.

My apologies, it was inadvertent. Thanks for correcting it. -Will Beback 22:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Only Warning

Nifty template, ain't it? Here 'tis: subst:test4im-n|article_name

[edit] Peta and exa

I read your comments about peta and exa on [Talk SI prefix]. I was fascinated by the explanation, but I couldn't link it with the prefixes! Please enlighten me. The comments post-date your Goodbye message. Does this mean you're back? You can email me, if you like, here --King Hildebrand 14:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop using the word vandalism!

Calling all changes for vandalism just because you don't agree with them is NOT the way to explain why you reverts edits. May I suggest that you actually learn what vandalism actually means before you use the word? Rhynchosaur 00:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Seconded. Rklawton 00:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re block

Hi Gg. Thanks for the note. I know but i think he's just "drunk" as he got some sane contributions! ;) If he comes back i'll not be this kind. If you notice something after his comming back, please let me know. -- Szvest 01:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 5 (number) and Five (TV)

Hi. Thanks for your note of several months ago on Talk:Five (TV) pointing out that it was the subject of a copy-and-paste page move. I have shifted the offending revisions to their rightful place in the history of Five (TV). It is important - for licensing and moral reasons - to ensure we continue to give full attribution for all edits made to our articles. :) - Mark 14:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Artwp's vandalism

The script I use for reverting vandalism was going a little wonky, though its now fixed. If you're curious exactly whom I was reverted, the wikilink on $2 went to the correct location. Kevin_b_er 03:00, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Disney theatrical animated features

Yeah, that was pointless - my apologies for starting to 'fix up' a vandalized version of the article. I should have looked at the edit history first. :) Kuru talk 22:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green (edit glitch?)

Hey Georgia guy, if you look at your contributions and find an edit to Green that you don't remember making, it was probably me. I have no idea why the wiki software put your name on the edit instead of mine. I tried a test edit after that and it used my name as usual. I guess it was a glitch of some sort—spooky! Michael Geary 21:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bowser

Seeing as the Bowser page has been moved to King Bowser and there is a requested move under discussion, don't you think the current page should redirect to Bowser (disambiguation) until such time as concensus has been reached? Yomanganitalk 00:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I assume whoever moved it in the first place will disagree. I've no stake in it, just fixed it from being blank. Yomanganitalk 01:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fish

Howdy, I saw your note in the Fish article. I was (at least if my memory serves me) the one who added the word "most" to describe fish. Specifically at issue are Lamiform sharks and some species of Tuna (I know less about the latter) which have the ability to raise their body temp above that of the water. At my fingertips (although not necessarily the best reference on the subject), see Goldman, Anderson, Latour, and Musick. 2004. Homeothermy in adult salmon sharks, Lamna ditropis. Environmental Biology of Fishes 71: 403-411. I can look around for a more general review if you'd like. --TeaDrinker 01:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bowser (2)

I actually supported that straw poll/consensus gathering excercise on the talk page. Anyway, when I made this edit, I figured that there must have been a good reason to move Bowser to King Bowser, so I re-redirected that page to the disambiguation. And it was useless having Bowser redirecting to King Bowser anyway, as I stated in the edit summary. -- Steel 08:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bowser

Please provide evidence to substantiate your claim that the Nintendo is the most common usage of bowser. Note that two entire countries use this as their term for gas pump, so you are going to have to provide some pretty large numbers of Nintendo users outside of those countries who play the Mario games and remember the name of the Bowser character. Don't forget to cite from a reliable secondary source. If you revert again without providing this evidence you may be blocked for disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. Just zis Guy you know? 17:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oops

Sorry about that :) - Glen 14:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR on T

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. Naconkantari 23:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Stay cool. I agree that something ugly is going on with this page but don't overreact. This is good advice in general: No matter how badly a page is edited today, it can always be fixed tomorrow.
See if you can't find a few other editors who have been active on this page in the past; talk it over with them. If one editor opposes all of you together and insists on distorting the page to ridiculous lengths, an RfC may be required. If on the other hand, most of the other editors side with the ridiculously long page, then maybe you and I are wrong and it's just time to move on. Okay? John Reid 09:52, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your reporting me on the 3RR noticeboard without any real violation and placing dead links that look like reversion diffs.

You just reported me on the 3RR Noticeboard, even though I didn't make more than three reverts. You did violate the 3RR, though. You also placed dummy links that look like reversion ones. This is pretty serious stuff.--Macaw 54 23:45, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

The third is certainly a revert. The first was a reversion of my edits to the pronunciation section. Your framing of me certainly warrants a blocking, in my opinion. Perhaps I should post on WP:AN/I?--Macaw 54 23:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] False accusation of vandalism

I was not engaging in vandalism and I resent the accusation. Vandalism would be adding profanity, nonsense or other graffiti to the page. I was making an editorial change on the grounds that it is ludicrous for Wikipedia to treat the American Georgia on equal terms with the country. You might disagree with it, but it wasn't vandalism. 86.134.211.242 17:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Difference between pool and billiards

As a matter of fact, I was just working on the lead to the that article, which should make the distinction clear.--Fuhghettaboutit 01:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested change in redirect for IPA from International Phonetic Alphabet to IPA (disambiguation)

Please comment. --Karnesky 15:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chamblee

Stop calling other's people's edits Vandalism. Do you even live in Chamblee, GA? Probably not, so stop editing the page. Also, wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, which means the information posted on the pages needs to backed up elsewhere.

So stop adding inaccurate information to the Chamblee, GA page and don't simply blow away other's people's changes!

[edit] T (disambiguation)

Sorry about that, for some reason the word 'disambiguation' just didn't occur to me. Thanks for moving it to the correct name. -- ArglebargleIV 22:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grade skips

Mentioning grade skips was to prove a point, though it's not entirely irrelevant. Presumably grade skips are less common than grade repeats, for whatever reason. The anon argued in his summaries that "let's be neutral here", which "we" already were sufficiently IMO. But if we're really being "neutral", as in "including all possible ages", we ought to consider advanced students too, shouldn't we? If I have time I'll see what can be dug up. - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 20:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I realize the school years articles aren't great bastions of verifiability, but what was your source for the "as old as 21" in Twelfth grade? - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 20:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Features new to Windows Vista

I've reverted your deletion of a large chunk of text from this article. Please review Wikipedia:Summary style and Wikipedia:Article size for proper guidance on how to split out sections into a separate article. In this particular case, I request that you discuss changes of this nature on the talk page. The group of us that work on Windows-related articles are very aware that the length of the article is beyond Wikipedia's normal article length, but the sheer amount of information that needs to be communicated warrants careful consideration as to how it should be done. Thanks. -/- Warren 03:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help requested

Hi

I'm writing to you - and others - because you are one of several people who appears to have experienced the same thing as I have noticed and experienced.

Namely a pattern of vandalism by an anonymous user. The IP # is 66.229.10.64

See this user's talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:66.229.10.64

This user has been temporarily blocked several times. I notice that the pattern is the same.

The person doesn't seem to respond to polite community requests to engage in dialogue - or to desist from repeatedly making edits that several editors consider to be vandalism.

I am not that experienced in these matters but can there be an attempt made to block this user permanently? Or at least for a period of time so that the person gets a message about respecting the community. Thanks. Davidpatrick 03:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Office green

The title for the color office green is too long to link it directly from the shades of green template, but the link goes to the article on green, and office green (the original web color green) is one of the colors displayed in the article on green and it is indicated in the title page. Keraunos 18:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Since you left a comment in the "Not Yet" section of the city convention proposal, it has been revised to no longer merge U.S. with Canada. Please reconsider your vote here. --Serge 20:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] My answer to your question on Ageing

Hi GeorgiaGuy, I have read your question on the "Discussion" page heading the article on ageing. I have put my reply in the page's "Discussion" section. I hope to be able to give the full references to the articles by Rowe and Kahn (one in "Science" and one in "The Gerontologist") by the end of next week (week beginning 30 October 30 2006). I hope that my reply answers your question. ACEO 18:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC) I have now added the above references at the end of the article on ageing. ACEO 18:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Alt V

With Firefox, when I look at the history of a Wikipedia page and it doesn't do what I want it to do; it simply opens the view menu.

[edit] Security and safety features new to Windows Vista

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Security and safety features new to Windows Vista, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Security and safety features new to Windows Vista. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Themodernizer (talk • contribs) 01:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] RE: Fake administrator

I am not a fake administrator. I stated my reason on the discussion page. Who is Keith Tyler? I don't know this person. Why did you mentioned this person? Tell me who he is. What did I do that made you think that I was a fake administrator? I wrote the reason for reverting it in the discussion page...here's my reason..

We should keep this article neutral. This article is not about the United States. There are other countries too. 6th grade or 8th grade is either the final year of elementary school. It says so in my dictionary. 5th grade can be the final year...but it's not always. Saying 6th grade is a part of secondary school sounds more neutral than saying it is part of middle school. middle school means junior high school too. so which one should we take? It's better if we say secondary school. But we can all agree that 6th grade is a part of secondary school to many nations.

Junior high school is a school usually including grades seven and eight, and sometimes six or nine; any school intermediate between elementary school and senior high school. (209.177.21.6 - Talk)

Actually, middle school and junior high school are technically two different things. - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 22:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re. WP:RFPP

Heh. Indeed, "sp" stands for "semi-protected". I use that diminished edit summary in WP:RPP because I'm often handling requests for semi-protection and that saves a few seconds. Lazy guy I guess. :-) Regards, Húsönd 17:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hm. Blocked the latest sock, User:Internet 444 -- has this problem spilled onto any other pages, that you know of? – Luna Santin (talk) 01:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Depending on the situation, different tools may be more appropriate than others; without going into too much detail, common options include blocks, page protection, and checkuser. If this problem is isolated to one page or a few pages, protection is usually sufficient. I've only just become aware of this incident, don't have too much knowledge on what's going on, just yet, other than we have somebody using socks. ;) – Luna Santin (talk) 01:43, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Gender-neutral language

I don't really have any strong feelings about gender-neutral language. I generally try to phrase things to avoid potentially ambiguous pronouns, but have no qualms about using an indefinite "he". I don't find edits that purely aim for gender-neutral language to be necessary, but as long as they don't make things worse, it doesn't really matter.

In the case of the multiple choice edit, it broke the second paragraph ("The responses are independent of the taker's ability to be clearly with language or handwriting."), and a quick revert was as good of an option as fixing it up. --Xanzzibar 07:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Georgia guy, I understand what you are saying and how it is difficult to maintain. However, I am on wikipedia everyday and it would be no problem for me to update the page everyday. Please respond back. Thank You. Tennisdude92 22:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC)tennisdude92

[edit] Nonagon/Enneagon: Whatever

I dont really mind which one it is. At the time this account was created, I used the term 'nonagon'. The fact is, I still use the term 'nonagon'. If you can convince me that there is a good reason to change from Nonagon to Enneagon (I think Nonagon sounds so much better, as well), I might start using it more often, but in interim, I will stick with nonagon.

[edit] Super Mario Bros. 4 redirect

You might already know this, but... the most recent change to the redirect was made by User:Superjustinbros. who is the same as 24.184.46.20. As you can see, his talk page is a glorious and inspiring collection of barnstars and praise (not that mine is any better).

I think instead of a sentence at the bottom of the article the armadillo hack should be under external links, but I'm too lazy to actually find it.

(You probably know this too, but the redirect how-to is Wikipedia:Redirect)
