Strange... from your technical skills on Wikipedia I assumed you were an established user, yet here I find a blank talk page! Well, here, have a welcome template:

Story of my life. "Oh, you're new here?" The "technical skills" you elude to are just a lot of searching with the wonderful Firefox plugin. :) --JStalk 20:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, whatever works! Melchoir 20:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About your comment

I have removed that comment today (I can see why you brought it up) but the CVU is not aobut baiting it is about stopping. (And BTW I have commented on your comment on the MfD) Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 03:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh and the vandalism to my page is from reverting over 700 vandals. You take some flack when your a vandal fighter. Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 03:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

If a police officer went on television after capturing a robbery suspect and said, "you better watch out, robbers, I got this guy!", what do you think the reaction would be?

The "taking flack" that you tell me about here, can, in my opinion, be chalked up to the fact that you rub it in vandals' faces, just like you did here. Vandals aren't stupid, they'll look at your commitments and see that you're proud of what you do, and vandalize further just to spite you. --JStalk 03:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		In recognition of Jed's tireless, well-articulated, and well-reasoned debates in the Counter-Vandalism Unit deletion discussion, I award him this Anti-Vandalism Barnstar. Jed was one of the few honest people out there who realized that deleting the CVU was the right decision to make, though highly unpopular. His perseverence, intelligence, and reserve deserve recognition. Dr Chatterjee (a banned vandal) 21:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much! :) --JStalk 22:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Double test2

Funny thing about that double warning. I don't know how it happened, because your edit wasn't there when I clicked edit, and I didn't get a conflict... but somehow your timestamp is earlier than mine. eh??? That is exceedingly strange. But as you said, it's late, we might be all losing it. Well, in any case, it's all good. My test2 which comes before your test2 on the page is now unofficially a test1. In any case, it probably doesn't matter at all. This is the IP's only edit in a month, so they're not on a vandalism tear at this point...:D --- Deville (Talk) 07:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy closes on AfD

Pretty much it's a grey area, if something doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of passing (aka a deletion in that case) often it gets speedy closed. When I took a look I saw so many keeps it seemed silly to keep it open. Oh, and no I didn't vote count, voting is evil, it's a discussion not a vote. -- Tawker 00:54, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're talking to the wrong IP address chief

I didn't put the "test" in the Tobacco article, I removed it. I'm a Software Engineer, trust me, I know what I'm doing. (I've written several technology-related articles on my company's own wiki.) That said, I'm sure it was just an honest mistake and you seem to be a great deal more active on Wikipedia than I, so carry on, haha. Peace out.

[edit] Barnstar on Userpage

The barnstar on your userpage was awarded by the Sockpupppet of a vandal. I would suggest to you kindly to remove it.Arbiteroftruth 15:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

In response to your unpleasant (at best) message, the CVU is a group of people dedicated to a Wikipedia that will not be adversely affected by Vandalism. We fight it at every turn. I cannot, in any form of sanity, understand why you are supporting BB and his evil cabal of vandals who only intend to destroy what is arguably the best collaboration project in this generation.

Barnstars are awarded by upstanding users of Wikipedia that serves as a reward of what you are doing. Relishing over a vandal-awarded barnstar (what I called Poisoned Barnstars) is unethical, at best. If you want to relish that Poisoned Barnstar that is awarded by the Antichrist, then it is your right to do so.

If you try to delete CVU again, I will fight it. CVU will live as long as Wikipedia lives. Arbiteroftruth 05:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppetry

Please do not accuse two good-faith editors with a long history of good contributions sockpuppets, as you appeared to do so here.[1] It comes across as incivil and a violation of WP:AGF. If you harbour doubts about the validity of the votes of myself and Folantin, then please pursue the case at WP:RFCU. If you persist in these accusations of sockpuppetry I will have no hesitation in opening a case at Wikipedia:Personal attack intervention noticeboard and/or lodging a WP:RFC. Thank you. Moreschi 14:20, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Very good. My apologies for the misunderstanding. I has taken great exception to Waltclip's accusations of sockpuppety above at that MfD (which were really unambiguous) and I thought that you were agreeing with him. Again, my apologies for the mistake and also for what was probably a slightly over-harsh tone to my comment above - all I wanted was clarification. Since nobody thinks that anybody is anyone's sock after all, shall we let the matter rest there? Best, Moreschi 10:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
