[edit] Mylo Carbia

Good job and very professional! My hat off to you. Wiki needs more people like you.Tony the Marine 05:23, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


  • My friend, I hope that you write something about yourself in your user page. It'll be a great for others to know more about you. Take care Tony the Marine 04:01, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

(P.S. You didn't answer me if it's in Glendale, Arizona? (smile).)

Please accept this barnstar on my behalf. You deserve it and if you wish you may display it on your User page. For me it has been an honor to have befriended you. Tony the Marine 23:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

(P.S. I would like to know if you can check this guy out Frederick Lois Riefkohl?)


[edit] Online IQ Testing

iqte.st is a professional resource. It educates the general audience about the perils of online iq testing. Declaring it "spam" is risible. Consider removing links to unethical online businesses before removing a valuable educational resource acessible to the general Wiki community. As I've stated elsewhere, I have no personal or professional relationship with their staff. It is to be shared with as wide an audience as possible; they (and you) are susceptible to being duped by terrible websites who might part users from their money.

Based on our user profiles, we're both healthy eaters. Let's make sure other Wiki contributors and surfers have a proper diet of nutritous websites. :) BrainDoc 20:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll replace the removed link. Let me know what you think. Thanks.  :) BrainDoc 13:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] stormfront

I agree with you about censorship - I despise it as well. However, when you're faced with a choice between gross disinformation and no information, maybe no information is better sometimes.

I don't believe that the site can ever be a useful site. You can see that they don't have a problem with recruiting as many other people as they need. I had to hold them off pretty much alone until today. The thing is, most non-Stormfront people just don't know or care about it so they'll never get involved in the site. That means that the rare person who DOES look for it on wiki is going to get nothing but fact selection and disinformation.

As for a semi-protected article - I just don't know how that would work. Who would write it, and how would decisions be made? These guys were entirely unwilling to compromise with me.

Anyway, thanks for the input. Stick to the Facts 05:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Churches

  • Good call on keeping the one and moving to delete the others. Carlossuarez46 18:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stanley Gallon AfD

Excellent work on managing the mess! I'm slightly in awe of how you picked through all the edits to make sense of it. My hat, also, is off to you. OBM | blah blah blah 08:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: IPA (Dorothea Lange)

You misunderstood. It's fine to have multiple pronunciations guides present, but they should all say the same thing. If the IPA version is correct, your version gave the wrong pronunciation. Spreading misinformation is far worse than having information that's allegedly harder to digest, but has the benefit of being precise. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 06:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Mediation: Ascended master

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Ascended master, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. - Richfife 18:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Would you mediate?

A long dispute at [1] really needs mediation by a reasonable third voice, formally or not. Nobody has responded at RfC. Would you help? Hele 7 19:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Really big thanks for fast and efficient termination of this long and dirty war. Hele 7 08:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linda Christas

Because it came and went so quickly (and because I somehow don't think Wikipedia has seen the end of this particular phenomenon), I wanted to make sure you'd seen this, putatively from LCCF's former chair. [2] Given your first-rate factchecking, I thought it would likely be of interest. The whole thing is just...odd. Robertissimo 14:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation

Hi, I have sent you and the other members involved in the dispute at Ascended master an email using Special:Emailuser/Richfife. Once everyone has responded, mediation will begin by email. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 23:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I did not receive a response to the email that I sent you. Please send me an email using Special:Emailuser/PinchasC with the items that would like mediated so that mediation can begin. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 13:09, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

[edit] Ostrovsky

I just made a further cut , in the spirit of your excellent editing, and Marcmcp has reverted both mine and yours,. I have warned him about the 3RR, but you might like to have a look. DGG 04:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Thanks for keeping an eye on things and providing a second voice! - Richfife 14:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
