[edit] Happy WLU
I am so very, very unhappy I didn't make your list. I would hope that at the minimum I would rate a bothersome.
Also allow me to pass on my appreciation for your incisive logic and past learning experiences you have provided. I'd barnstar you, but that'd just look like I'm currying favour.
WLU 20:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Well I am touched. Though I'm sure it's pure happenstance, I'm at the top of the list. I take great pride, sirrah, great pride in this accomplishment. Huzzah!

[edit] Barnshine
This was such a huge pain to do, I kinda want to choke someone. Since there was no 'thanks for helping me learn even though I'm a bigger pain in the ass than a set of sackcloth pajamas' Barnstar, this is what you get. There's a compliment in there somewhere, I'm sure. Don't get shot, Wikipedia needs cooler heads than I. WLU 02:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Very welcome for the Barnshine, please appreciate that it's extra special because of the truly absurd amount of horribly, horribly, horribly, horribly, horribly (and I typed everyone of those 'horribly's out, no pasting for NeoFreak) aggravating work that went into making it look nice. Still totally messing up the formatting of your talk page though, but I refuse to apologize.
- As for the second item discussed, I have no official comment.
- Incidentally, given your penchant for deleting pages, I'd love your opinion of this one. I think it's barely, barely on the cusp of keep, holding on by a single, broken, bleeding fingernail.

You really did keep your cool, even when the shit hit the fan on the macrophilia article, and for that I applaud you. Like I said before, I still don't like how the page is, but I understand why it's like that now at least. Galactor213 04:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Energy Vampirism in fiction
Hello, I noticed that you removed the Energy Vampirism in fiction section of that article. I understand the reasons you did it, but do you think we could at least move the contents of that section to the talk page, in order to preserve it? I always thought it was a worthwile section, and a usefull resorce for comparing the different Energy vampire concepts found in fiction. So perhaps we could at least move the contents of "Energy Vampirism in fiction" to the talk page for preservation? 141.154.155.72 16:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- So, would you object if I copied the "energy vampirism in fiction" section to the talk page of the article, so people can view the list more easily (without needing to go into the page history)?141.154.155.72 18:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Favor
As one of the editors I really trust I was hoping you could do me a favor and take a read through List of United States Marine Corps aircraft squadrons. You may have noticed that it has been my pet project for awhile. I am still working on the intro but I was hoping you could just go through and copyedit. Right now I still need to add the Post WWII info and edit some of the earlier stuff. It needs a fresh set of eyes to make sure it is on the right track. When it is complete one of these days I am hoping to put it up for WP:FLC. Anyway, if you have a few spare moments please give it the once over. Cheers.--Looper5920 06:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD notice
I noticed that you contributed to the article Wizard's First Rule; as such, you may wish to know that it is currently being considered for deletion. MPoint
[edit] Boi (gender)
I put a Prod on Boi (gender), and I noted you also felt as if it should be deleted. My prod was removed on the 5th day. I'm not homophobic. My argument is that 1. It seems to be a neologism, 2. It seems very American biased, not a universal English term for something purporting to be a human gender. 3. The article editors seem unable or unwilling to cite verifiable and reliable sources, 4. The current content is extremely vague as to just what a "Boi" is. It is mostly just one long definition that could include almost anyone. I'll support if you do an AfD. - Parsa 00:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I am not blanking cited material
I am the one who posted those arguments in the first place and people keep rewording it. The way that it's reworded doesn't reflect the sources, "Afrocentrics" don't argue skin color for instance. There's no citation for that comment, it's a reckless opinion that someone is forcing on the public reader. Also the first settled inhabitants didn't arrive "relatively recent" (no where is this notion cited or confirmed), people have been there on and off for millenia, what is of interest is who peopled the "classical Egypt". But go ahead and have you way, and see how biased wikipedia can get now...Taharqa 01:46, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] merging articles to List of uncommon fetishes
As You know from my suggestion on the Insertion fetish AfD, I'd like to create a single article for all the minor or uncommon fetishes. Any help you could give me in this project would be great.
Right now I'm just looking at taging the articles with {{mergeto|List of uncommon fetishes}} and adding the section on the article's talk page.
Like I any help would be great--HoneymaneHeghlu meH QaQ jajvam 20:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trans-wiki Articles
Well, if you are serious (one can only hope, forgive me if may seem cautious), and are not looking for fodder for abuse, I would be delighted, if not honored to corroborate with you. I would find it an avenue to promote further understanding and possible amicable friendship. While I am currently home, I am about to take off again. I have several meetings in New York and will not be home again until 3/14/07. But propose what you will, I'll do my best to check in each day provided I can get net access. Again thanx for consideration, your social stock just shot up a great deal in my book (that being you are honest about your statement and objectives). Mystar 15:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Wakie wakie!...dude, I'm back. I've been waiting to hear from you. I'm all ears....well, not "all" ears I am mostly peeling skin and ravenous appetite at the mo, but then you get my drift ;) I want to hear the scoop and am looking forward to working with you Mystar 19:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mark E. Rogers and Samurai Cat
Hi. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, so I hope I'm doing this right. I saw the above subjects on your /list and was interested because I've enjoyed the books. Noting your concern about notability, I did a Google search and checked the first 20 pages of results. All I found was the author's personal site, fan sites, books for sale, and science fiction convention appearances. Not even one non-fan book review. I'm not sure what else to check for the notability of these subjects, but that's what I've got so far (i.e. not much at all). RichM90071 21:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for you kind and helpful reply. I'm working on what you've advised. I'm tracking my progress on this and other projects on my user page. If you have any comments/advice/criticisms/whatever, feel free to leave me a message.
- Actually, I've been interested in the notability, or lack thereof, of the series since before I ever heard of Wikipedia. It's some rather unique work. The first three books, at least, are trade paperbacks. Nearly every page is illustrated with an original painting by the author. The only other books like this I can think of are childrens' books. Yet the Samurai Cat books are most decidedly adult, depicting rather graphic violence for their time. They probably meet Scott McCloud's criteria for sequential art, but they don't look like comic books. You'd think all this would would prompt some comment, but I don't remember ever seeing or hearing anything about them from the science fiction/fantasy community.
- Another reason I'm interested in how to establish notability is because I was thinking about adding to the material on Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion series. While it's certainly a notable fantasy series, I'm not sure that every single one of the several dozen books in the series is each notable enough to have its own article. I need to know how to tell the difference. When I saw that you had similar concerns on another subject of mutual interest, I thought that working with you on it would help me get a handle on the problem.

[edit] Glen E. Friedman page
NeoFreak, i appreciate you taking the time to write what you have, and i hope you read this reply with the same enthusiasm you do to remove good information from the glen e. friedman page.
1. a friend of mine works on the www.BurningFlags.com website and contacted glen and had him send an approval and full release to wikipedia for use of anything on the web pages that he does own copyright to. And in-fact i was told that they even got confirmation back from wikipedia that they would keep the permission on file. The website itself is NOT Friedman's home page (so for a start you shouldn't have listed it as such). The site is hosted by Southern Records a company out of England who started the site as a credit to Glen's worthiness and support of their own site almost 10 years ago. Yes it is run by people who respect his work just as i do. Why would this be a problem?
2. many of the statements on this page that i will put up again, and in fact was here on wikipedia for quite along time before you decided to remove it is all based on facts taken from press articles and Friedman's books which i referred you to before, please go and do the research yourself to see these things that are written about Friedman on the page are printed in many languages in magazines and in documentary films. You continuously trying to discredit Friedman's worthiness is insulting to him or just display's your own ignorance of his work. DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING PERSONAL AGAINST MR. FRIEDMAN due to his political views? I think perhaps you need to take a step back from editing this page. Mr. Friedman is a great artist and inspiration to many. If there is a conflict of interest here it may be in-fact your own political views.
3. As I mentioned before, why would you put down Mr. Friedman's books because some of them are self-published? This is done by choice! Friedman has been published internationally since the mid-1970's! And his work displayed in galleries all over the world. What further proof do you need that this page is not a vanity page any more than the page on George W. Bush is a vanity page? For credible 3rd parties why not look at some of the press articles that have been compiled from magazines the world over at http://www.southern.com/BURNINGFLAGS/press - i used this resource for a lot of the information since it is from around the world and is sourced as well as any artist press archive I have come across.
4. all i am doing on this page is giving common information on the artist that is out there in the world already. If you want to edit the piece and make it conform better to wikipedia standards then by all means do so. But you delete all the interesting information, and this is not correct, wikipedia is here to supply information! why are you constantly taking it away? why are you so disrespectful of this persons work? Please explain your self more clearly before you do it again. This is also unfair to me since I don't know all the formalities of Wikipedia but am indeed trying to add to the community of good interesting behavior.
The edit you have made is totally lazy and inappropriate. I will leave it for a few days to see if you add back all the info that should be there, IF YOU DON'T I WILL add everything back rightly so.
I do respect the work of Mr. Friedman and indeed it has inspired me to put up the information on this page i have. Some of it in fact was here long before i knew what wikipedia was, but since i found out i had added things, all that i added to the original content that was here was 100% valid in my opinion and research. please take more time to at least do a better edit or i will put it up verbatim as it was. I don't think your seeking action against me as an editor should hold anything over my ability to edit on here, because if it does it will take away a ton of credibility from the entire wikipedia ideal. The Glen E. Friedman page was fine before your hatchet job. Apologies for my lack of editing skills. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ezioj (talk • contribs) 22:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC).
