[edit] Wikiproject Calendars

Thank you for updating part of WikiProject Calendars This project is a dynamic one that changes every day. Every day, the highlighted day on the calendar must change. If you have time, please feel free to add holidays and update the highlighted day again in the future.

If you have any questions, comments, or ideas, please feel free to leave a messaage on my talk page. --Munchkinguy 02:20, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Intelligent Design

I tried to explain the difference. Ask questions if it is not clear. --Swmeyer 21:37, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moving a page

Hi, please use a 'move' button if you want to move a page to a different title. By copy-pasting it, like you did with Television crew, the history of that page does not move with it. To fix this, the new page has to be deleted for a short while (an admin can do that, I'll ask), and after that the move can be executed. It'd be probably a good idea to wait with new edits until that has happened, for they might get lost in the process... --JoanneB 10:14, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and please stick around!

Sanity and reason is a nice thing on the ID and IDMovement talk pages - please stick around if you can manage the time. KillerChihuahua 14:25, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Bogrolls

I've speedied the other article, but I think it's better to AFD The Bogrolls instead. (I explained on the article's talk.) Johnleemk | Talk 11:14, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] S. R. Crown Hall/Crown Hall

I moved "Crown Hall" to "S.R. Crown Hall" because that is the official name of the building, and thus I thought should be the main page. A redirect from "Crown Hall" can easily take care of the common name, as should be the standard here.

I can understand either one though. New signage on the IIT campus (where I work) uses the full name, as does the new signage on the building itself (from the Summer 2005 rennovation) and the recently placed National historical marker. The Chicago marker, though, does just say "Crown Hall." I count that as an error on the city's part, an omission most likely due to no other buildings on IIT's campus (except the Paul V. Galvin Library) taking the whole name of the namesake. I'd defer to the Park Service before the City of Chicago. The national marker does refer to the building as "Crown Hall" within the plaque, so I think that again shows that while Crown Hall is the common name, S.R. Crown Hall is the official name and should be used first.

Also, please see the Crown Hall entry in the IIT Editorial Style Guide. In matters of naming, IIT should get the primary say since they are the owners. Here, it is preferred that the name "S.R. Crown Hall" is used in the first reference, then "Crown Hall" later. Apparently the Crown family has their name on many buildings at many universities, but this is the only "S.R." - Duncanr

I'll make sure and message first next time. I've been working on some IIT pages recently and had some random people changing things without reason or that didn't need to be changed. I appreciate your comments though. The article could have gone either way, I just preferred the full name since it seems to be making a comeback on campus and in case other Crown Halls were written about. Sorry for the surprise move. Take care. - Duncanr

[edit] Speedy deletion of bands

Hi there, Thanks for voting on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ghosts of modern man. You mentioned that it was a possible speedy candidate. As PJM already mentioned, the criteria for speedy deletion don't include non-notable bands (lamentably in my opinion), only articles about people that do not assert notability.

While I hope that we will soon be able to take non-notable band articles to speedy deletion, for the moment we have to grit our teeth and send them through AFD. Stifle 22:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Replied on Stifle's talk page - P or T? 23:46, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I fully agree that they should be speediable; it missed passing by 1% in the last vote :( Stifle 23:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Intelligent Archive

You appear to have deleted a large and mostly tedious lump from Talk:Intelligent design to move to Talk:Intelligent design/Archive 22, which seems to be somewhat missing. Any problem? ...dave souza 15:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: talk message

Thanks for the message and the apology, I didn't mean to come across harsh if it seemed that way. As for me, I'm not really all that turned off from here because a few people said the things they did, I'm more turned off because of the general environment around here. A few of the reasons are in my "farewell address" if you want to call it that, but that article isn't exactly the place that I need to be spending my time if things are going to go like that. I'm im process of growing my own business and speaking across the country, plus work a full time job on top of that, with a family, and am in the beginning stages of writing a book, so it's just one more thing to take me away from what I'm focused on, and since I can't see anything productive coming from my time there, I've got to focus on other things.

At any rate, thanks for the message though, and good luck with the page. Barwick 14:59, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Block My IP Address?

You threaten me by stating "maybe we could block his IP Address?" Why would you suggest something like that? Are you suggesting some sort of attack on my computer?

You forget, sir, that this site is about contributing information or deleting bogus information from articles. If it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, and smells like a duck, it is a duck. And that is why I presented the facts that I found, since egg-heads such as yourself have trouble seeing the forest for the trees.

Francis Crick was an atheist, and is appropriate for the Religious Beliefs section of the article. It is not appropriate to talk about a "talk show hosts" freudian analysis of him (which I attempted to delete since it is not appropriate, poorly written, boring, and was pointless). It was deleted by myself. If you have a problem with it, then you can change it back if that makes you feel good about yourself. Francis Crick also felt it was impossible for life to have come into being out of a primordial soup, and is appropriate for the Panspermia section of the article. It is not appropriate to say that he didn't have a belief or interest in it especially given the fact that he cowrote a book about it. These are facts, sir, not opinions.

I am not surprised, however, that a handful of "know it alls" such as yourself would threaten me with "we will find him and intimidate him with our knowledge of his IP address." Are you perhaps going to try to initiate an attack on my computer? Just let me say that I am not afraid of egg-heads such as yourself who spend their lives trying to destroy the only hope that billions of people have (i.e. God or some other universal spirit). So go ahead, egghead, do what you gotta do... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.207.83.81 (talk • contribs).

Coo, yeah I'll propose it now, but the if its adopted we can add it in after the fact; with FM's permission of course.

Replied on Jim's talk page and endorsed FeloniousMonk's outside opinion in the matter. -P or T? 02:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

PoT? -- thanks for the reply. I've tried using logic and reason with Ben, but to no avail -- although it is likely that anything I say to him falls on deaf ears anyway (the same applies to FM (obviously), KillerChihuahua, Guettarda, Dunc and now Ghost). And yes, I suppose that some things did get out of hand -- mostly because none of us were expecting the ad homs (we were kind of blind-sided) and reacted accordingly. The real issue though, is that Ben seems to either totally misunderstand how Wiki works, or more likely, wants to redefine the rules so they fit his idea of what they should be. OK, enough of my ranting, thanks for your assistance. Take care, Jim62sch 10:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, wrong Jamie. Sadly, I haven't been in a band for a long time. I did download an mp3 ("Openly") by Jenoah [1] just for kicks; it's actually really good.

[edit] User:24.55.228.56

Hi - I am seeking support for a user conduct RfC on User:24.55.228.56 (apparently also known as User:Mr j galt) over his conduct on the Plame pages and the Larry C. Johnson page - would you sign on? RfC requires that at least two users tried and failed to resolve the dispute with the user, and I believe that has happened in this case. Let me know and I will propose the RfC. --csloat 08:42, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Parallel or Together?, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). If you voted in support of my request, thank you! If you decided to oppose me at this time, then I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Wikipedia may persuade you to reconsider your position.
