[edit] Algonquin picture

That's a great picture of Algonquin - I hope you got to go visit this fall? I wish I lived nearer to it... --Andrew 03:01, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)


Yes, it was this past fall. The park is so flat generally, it's hard to get a good angle, but we used one of those fall colour internet sites to try and go on a good weekend, although it was a bit chilly. Jok2000 12:04, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Twin_paradox

May be, I have to apologize for bad english, but it should be possible to understand, what the content of the message was. So, please turn it to better english, but think about, what was meant. The "paradox" arises from the statement: you can not decide, who moves. But that is simply not the truth! One, who can measure speed of light is able to measure the distance between to stars! ErNa 12:55, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually, it's the change in the meaning of the word "moves" that creates a paradoxical statement. I think everyone agrees on who is moving and who isn't in this particular thought experiment.Jok2000 19:09, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok, the problem is: I can say, I move, but that might be a lie or not the truth. A misunderstanding in RT is: There is no fixed frame is not equivalent to: I can not determine, which twin moves. I can determine this, and still there is no fixed frame. Whenever someone states: I can say, which twin travels, he is abused to be an "antirelativist". That makes live complicated.

[edit] 3RR and Toronto

I take exception to a claim that I violated 3RR:

(cur) (last) 14:20, 7 December 2005 Jok2000 m (rv to last version by E. Pluribus Anthony. 3RR vio. by texture & ae871)

I reverted ae871 twice and then chose to compromise by only moving the link to a new section and not removing it. After that I have only one more edit that removed a duplicate link but retained the new link by ae871. Jok2000, please look at the facts before making allegations. - Tεxτurε 18:56, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


Okay, you didn't. I simply read the talk page where someone else claimed you did 3RR, and a history on the Toronto page showed 4 edits. Jok2000 19:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Square One Shopping Centre

First of all, thanks for saying you like my work on the Square One Shopping Centre page. But what's the problem with the images being in the body of the text. I just don't like the look of a gallery with just 2 images in it. How 'bout if I put the logo at the bottom and the photograph of the Cityside entrance at the top with the aerial pic? I just really don't like the gallery thing for this page.

Now on something else: I see your're a Torontonian, where abouts? I'm from Mississauga.

--Mb1000 22:28, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I am from just North of Toronto, and incidentally, I took that aerial shot on the way back from Europe last year, so feel free to make it as big as needed to look good on the page ;) Kidding aside, the non-gallery page has different sized images all over the place, whereas the gallery has my photo and two small photos, I think the non-uniformity is what the other guy doesn't like about it. Jok2000 22:32, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

It's you who took the picture! Great shot! Here's a picture of Old City Hall I took a couple of years ago. About the Square One page, how about if we make the logo smaller? --Mb1000 22:39, 10 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Vandal

I'll take a look, if he's been warned (three times), then will be blocked. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[edit] Hi. yeah I was a newbie

Hey, if you've discovered the history function & NPOV, I should be the one that says sorry and welcomes you to Wikipedia! In fact, the next time I'm in Paris, I'm stopping by Gilbert Jeune near Notre Damme again and buying some French language WWII histories. You've made me really curious. I personally think english language sources for info on the Battle of the Bulge and the V2 attacks on Antwerp are also pretty light on details. Jok2000 20:11, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Yeah I was new at all this.
Thanx for welcoming me.
PS :
eh, you know Gibert Jeune :-) nice.
c ya.

[edit] Reversion

Hi there. I appreciate the reversion you are doing on some topics, like the Toronto page, however since you started using the Popups reversion tool you no longer have any meaningful descriptive text in the history. I think it's important that we list why things are being reverted or changed. Ben W Bell 14:16, 20 December 2005 (UTC)


Well usually if it's not dog-crap, I do spend a few extra seconds and make a comment. Generally, you may assume "rvv" or "revert vanadalism"/"revert test" for all popups reversions. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread, bye-bye vandalism with 1 mouse click. In fact, I think if anyone uses popups' no-comment revert for anything but obvious reversions, they should be banned from using it, including me. At some point, I will read the java source (I did read the documentation) for popups and see if I can configure that revert text to say "rvv" and give a date and time instead of version. Jok2000 16:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)


There, I edited my Popups config a wee tad. Jok2000 20:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your editing on the Cancun page

I think that you are being unfair in removing links to pages that you consider commercial. They aren't commercial. They may have some ads, but they are informational and they provide independent, often critical material that is not available elsewhere. Please look at the Cancun discussion page to see my statement on this. //Jules Siegel 04:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calling programmers

We need coders for the WikiProject Disambigation fixer. We need to make a program to make faster and easier the fixing of links. We will be happy if you could check the project. You can Help! --Neo139 09:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
