[edit] Hello

Good to find you on here. I have deleted your bit about corrupt power from chess on the article about school. Alex Holowczak 21:46, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

No that wasn't me... Probably an estranged IP editor. I shall tidy a few bits up on there, such as making the link a sentence, and deleting your bit about modelling it on Harry Potter... Alex Holowczak 21:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
You're joking! Actually, come to think of it, I remember posters going up around school about something like that... Oh well, I'll leave that in, but I will put the link to the chess website in the article. Alex Holowczak 22:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I added a section about the School Council, and edited facilities to include the notice board in the foyer. Alex Holowczak 19:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC) (P.S. Can you tell me your e-mail address - it would be easier to tell you via Hotmail than constantly editing your talk page!)
Take a look at the page I created in the chess section about the DJ Wright Trophy Winners (I turned it into a history page...) Alex Holowczak 20:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear LibLord: Looks like we've been slack and no one has welcomed you. You hopefully already have a good idea how to edit wikipedia but always nice to have a welcome message to look back on if you get stuck. So...

Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!

It appearsyou've made quite a number of constructive edits to King Edward VI Five Ways. However I'm not sure if you fully understand our policies on Wikipedia:NPOV, Wikipedia:No Original Research and Wikipedia:Citing Sources as your edit to Trial of Saddam Hussein here did not obey these policies. The cited source does not claim Blair "stopped short of explicitly condemning the verdict". If you intepret his comments in that way, that's your right, but we can't offer our own intepretations of comments. If you can find a Wikipedia:Reliable Source that claims he did, then you may be able to re-add the comment with this source but otherwise it can't be included. However other then that, from a brief history of your edit history your changes appear to have been constructive and in accordance with our policies so again welcome to wikipedia and thanks for your contributions.

[edit] helpme

A wikipedia user keeps vandalising my school's article... Antiwheeldonsociety is the user, and King Edward VI Five Ways is the school article. What can I do to alert someone of this and get them banned?

The first thing to do would be to leave a warning on the user's talk page so that they realise they're vandalising (hey, I know it's stupid, but we always have to assume good faith first). If they continue, let an admin know at Admins' noticeboard against vandalism so that the user can be blocked. Good luck, and let me know if you need more help! —Keakealani 00:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About the Guild/3of'em

You posted that the article about the Guild/3of'em was nonsense. I was just wondering what exactly made it nonsense? I didn't exactly understand. Thank you in advance.--MasterMemo 20:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I think I understand why the article was deleted. I need to look at the guidlines a little better. I don't understand what you meant that it didn't explain what it was about.--MasterMemo 01:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

dude what about the centenary shield article

but it is a big tournament in bangalore,india

[edit] The Lives of Women through 1920s-1930s

Please use {{prod}} for essays in the future. If there is no CSD criterion for it, chances are you should not be applying the tag. Thx. - crz crztalk 12:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

Just wondering.. how do I alert an admin of someone that has violated their last blocking warning? In this particular case I'm talking about the IP 207.241.244.1. It was warned yesterday but has just been vandalising this article. Thanks.

You can report such instances at WP:AIV though it is often the case that admins expect a very recent warning to have been issued before acting. I'll take a look at that one for you. --pgk 18:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use care with popups

Please use care when reverting vandalism with popups. Reverting vandalism from the recent changes page might actually revert to a previously vandalized page. It seems that skilled vandals are making at least two separate changes to avoid being reverted easily via popups. I noticed that I was making mistakes like this as well. I apologize if you feel this note is not justified. 22:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My bad

I made the same mistake you did- reverting "Gilmore Girls" to a prev vandalized version. It's back where it should be now. Jcam 22:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question...

Just wondering what is the little code to produce Name (Talk | contribs), or just Name (talk).

It's either Template:User for the first and Template:User0 for the second. Here are examples:

Example (talk)
For other templates, check out Category:Internal link templates—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 09:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding 195.194.74.162

You can go ahead and have the person blocked since this anon. IP has just vandalized the Dragon Ball article some time after you gave this person their first and final warning. --Power level (Dragon Ball) (talk • contribs)

[edit] Lib I'm a Vandal Fighter

Lib, I'm a vandal fighter. I believe that any edit I could have done that involved vandalism could be a mistaken revert. Check the warning you left on my talk page please.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 20:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for responding, my VP program bugged and I flipped when I saw it mistakenly reverted to the inappropriate version.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 20:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Charlie Brown Christmas

The third track is called my little drum- not little drummer boy. I fixed a mistake, and I was not vandalizing. If you want wikipedia to be factually correct, you should accept my edit. I am right.

[edit] Pine Crest School

I made constructive edits to Pine Crest School but they were removed because I was told I didn't have sources (they were factual i.e. we had 27 national merit semifinalists this year - the highest in the state of florida for any private school etc.) but they were all removed because i didn't have "sources". Take a look at the Pine Crest School page --- the whole studnet life section and many of the other sections HAVE NO SOURCES. None of that info is contained on the PC homepage. Why does that get to stay? It's not really fair. It seems this type of domineering is not conducive to productive editing by users. It's not my fault Pine Crest has not decided to post an announcement on the internet about these things. And the kids are completely censored from publishing criticism of the school - we would get expelled or suspended. So does that mean Pine Crest has succeeded in censoring wikipedia since we can't site a "source" where the criticism is coming from -- even if it is legitimate such as "Some students feel that the administration's censorship of student publications such as Type 1 and the Scribbler is unjust." (Or something along those lines) Wikipedia is really letting me down here. Thanks.

PS - and NOW you just reverted the farris hassan and alumnae/i edits! Ah! This is so sad. Hassan is not an alumnus. This is INCORRECT information. You can change the heading and section to "notable alumni and current students" - that would be correct. current alumni is not! He is a current student, class of 2007 - he's a senior! AND what is wrong with putting alumnae/i instead? Must you REALLY edit that? it is along the same lines as using the pronoun he to refer to a child when that child could be a boy or a girl. it is sexist language - pick up any MLA book and read, they warn against this - just because alumni is latin doesn't mean it gets an exemption from the rule! what is going on? I thought wikipedia was about useful, correct, factual, productive, fair editing?

[edit] Pine Crest School cont.

Thanks for the kind response. Can I put the edits back then? Would it be a better idea to change it to "notable alumnae/i and current students" - and keep hassan, rather than remove him? I think that would be best. He does have a place on the page since many people know who he is now. 65.34.134.90 18:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, I'm a bit confused now, sorry. It has always said "notable alumni" - I wasn't the one who put it there. That's what it has always said. What I question is putting Hassan down as an "alumni" since that term is used for GRADUATES of an institution and he is still a current student. See? I wasn't questioning the use of the term "notable" - unless you think it is trite since as you stated: everything on wiki is notable. my second concern was the use of the world alumni to refer both to men and women - see usage note here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alumni or any standard MLA Style Manual for more info on removing sexist language from reputable publications. =) 65.34.134.90 18:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal Wasn't Me

Um, hi. I just got a notice that I had vandalized some football player's article. I've never heard of the guy. I don't even like football. So it wasn't me. I think I've only edited one page on Wiki in my life...maybe...think it was the Hulk page. So it wasn't me. Probably was some other anonymous user. Anyway, bye.

[edit] Vandaliser

As you have noticed, editor 204.169.28.94 has been writeing: "has anyone seen my cheese???", on various pages. Can we have him banned?

[edit] "American" at History of the board game Monopoly

Hi! Yes, I got confused...that's probably what comes of looking at diffs in popups. I'm not sure I agree with removing the wikilink to American completely -- I don't really think it constitutes "excessive linking," and there's a reason why American is a dab page -- but I don't feel strongly about it, so I've no reason to change it back. Sorry for the confusion. :-) --Tkynerd 20:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of King Edward VI Five Ways school song

An editor has nominated King Edward VI Five Ways school song, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/King Edward VI Five Ways school song and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. Jayden54Bot 15:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] But Becky Fischer IS fat...

Fair game to you for editing out my one-word vandalism, but did you not notice the sentence right next to it that someone else put there? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.187.45.41 (talk) 15:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC).


[edit] Jargon of the Rush Limbaugh Show

My edit of Boutros Boutros Boutros-Ghali to Boutros Boutros By Golly is correct. This is (was) the term used by Rush Limbaugh to refer to the former Secretary General. It is incorrect to state that the correct Rush Limbaugh jargon for Boutros Boutros-Ghali is Boutros Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Thank you for your apology and for your efforts to keep wikipedia accurate.

[edit] "Experiment"

Read the link provided - its not an "experiment". I'd appreciate if you reverted that. RTE owned 0.086% of Intelsat, as that annual report quite clearly proves. --62.77.181.1 20:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Matt Groening

Thanks for your attempts to revert the vandalism to Matt Groening but it looks like both times you accidentally reverted to a previous vandal. I have reverted the page to it's original form so it's not a problem. Just thought I'd give you a heads up, I've never used VP so I'm not sure if there is a way to check for this in the future.

[edit] Nonsense edit on Segway PT?

I wonder what part of this edit is nonsense. In regards to having linked segue from Segway PT, I did not mean to say that the Segway has anything to do with the music term segue any farther than that they both come from the same root word. Since the article already exists and is a decent article, there's no reason my edit should be reverted. And in regards to having put the term in italics, well, the term should be in italics rather than in quotes because segue is a foreign word -- especially when referring to the word as an Italian word (which is how it is referred to in Segway PT). Before calling an edit wholesale nonsense, please be specific at it. If you think segue shouldn't be linked from Segway PT, so be it; but the term should be in italics either way. D. F. Schmidt 19:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:204.193.129.239

As I mentioned on that page, the IP is for SUNY Purchase College, where there are a great many public access computers. The odds of the person you were trying to contact actually reading it are next to nil. Sorry, I suppose that's just the sort of people vandals are... they don't even bother to log in.

[edit] Rv vandalism to Pandora

Hi, I see that you reverted some vandalism to Pandora. I was following another nuisance editor's work and found that the preceding edit was also vandalism. Clearly you are doing a lot of hard work on Wikipedia, for which thank you, but I wonder if you could adapt your working method to pick up more than one vandal edit at a time?

[edit] Differential equation

I think your revert requires a bit more explanation that the standard edit summary provided by VP because the edit you reverted was not vandalism (at least, in my opinion). -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 00:41, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:170.211.121.61

Hate to break it to you, but this user that you blocked just a few days ago came back into Wikipedia and did it all over again. Not your fault in any way, but I see a lot of "last warning" and "blocked" tags on various vandals who know they're coming back. I'd rather see us increase the number of days these individuals are blocked, based on what they continue to do. Carajou 22:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
