[edit] M1

That was indecently quick!

The M1 in the Rossi era can only be accurately represented in terms of its substantial and significant history in that period. I'm sure you'll agree, that most instances of the M1 being noteworthy in the 2006 season (and there were many) were intrinsically linked with Rossi, and I think Wikipedia users deserve more than a one liner about such an important Motorcycle, in such an important season, in such an increasingly popular sport. - playbike 01:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re Block threat for supposed abuse

Bah. Do we have to be utterly humourless when we do such boring work as (constantly) reverting spammers? Isn't your precious time best spent threatening blocks on said spammers? You didn't actually think I was being abusive with my little quip? Please lighten up. I've never gotten worked up in any edit I've made, I just like to make strongly and directly, so there's no confusion. It's all a matter of style. Are you part of the new, emerging, band of personality police around here? Maybe it's cultural relativity. I come from a part of the world where we don't accept abuse and we say what we mean. It may be that you come from a totalitarian state where unless you toe the line it is not tolerated. I think with a little good will we can all understand each other's point of view.

Your 8 word reply is a little cryptic. Can you expand a little? Darkov 22:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Honda Fit

Look, you asked me to put in sources, so I reverted the article and put in sources. And now I'm going to revert it back and phrase it as "A hybrid electric version is rumored to be in development for sale in late 2007, according to Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun."

I hope that satisfies you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ng.j (talk • contribs) 23:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

In the year that the article was written, Honda has decided to go with an all new model and will not produce the Honda Fit Hybrid. So ends our discussion.

[edit] Suzuki Hayabusa

I just thought I would inform you that you have put the performance data in incorrectly, they both state 60-80 mph is 3.31mph and 3.13mph. This makes no sense to me. Can you please correct this? Also, I completely agree with your plan to revert it back to a more reliable test. - Century0 03:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad you caught that. Definitely a typo on my part. The second time is suppose to be from 80-100 mph. Looks like another editor already picked up on the problem and fixed it. Roguegeek (talk) 18:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uli Kunkel

Hi Roguegeek, the above user just reported you for vandalism at AIV. What you are doing is not vandalism (obviously) but if the user is being unreasonable, I find the best thing to do is give them another option (eg I told him about the {{main}} template) rather than threatening them with 3rr. People don't tend to react well to that :) Thanks, – riana_dzasta 02:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SWG Edits

I am not the first person to raise issues of verifiability and neutrality on this article. I'm the most recent in a long list of people with the same concerns. Where in the Wiki policies does it require that I provide a "long and detailed" justification for adding {{pov}} and {{unreferenced}} tags? It just says you should discuss the reasons on the talk page, it doesn't say that the initiator has to provide "long and detailed" justifications. Am I missing something here? Jonawiki 23:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I agree with your point of not having enough sources. I'm just thinking we need to be more specific about what sources for what parts are lacking. Roguegeek (talk) 03:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I moved your comments. You're the one now deleting all my past edits to the talk page. Magonaritus 02:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest people reading this to take a look at User talk:Magonaritus to see what kind of feedback they are receiving from other editors. Roguegeek (talk) 03:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Blocked

You have been blocked for violating the three-revert rule at Star Wars Galaxies. In the future, please discuss controversial changes or use the dispute resolution procedures rather than engage in an edit war. The duration of the block is 24 hours.

[edit] Star Wars Galaxies

I see you're having some difficulty with Jonawiki (talk • contribs) and Magonaritus (talk • contribs). I've been dealing with "them" for over a year at Upper Canada College. I say "them" as I've reported both as sockpuppets. Please feel free to contribute comments or evidence if you wish. Thanks. --G2bambino 16:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for setting up that proper investigation - I wasn't aware of that process. I've since added my comments to it. I do, however, remain somewhat unknowledgeable about these matters, and so wonder what the next step is. The template you left at Jonawiki's talk page links to this page, which states "If the accuser hasn't requested CheckUser for ten days, you are allowed to remove the notice from your page." Does this mean you must, if you haven't already, request a CheckUser? I suppose I should notify you that I made a CheckUser request against Magonaritus back on March 8, which was deemed unnecessary. --G2bambino 15:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image Source or Spam

I note you removed the contributors URL from a number of images today with the comment "removed spam" (e.g. [1] [2]). I note that you have a URL to your website on many of the images you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons as RichN. Could you explain how this is different? -- Patleahy 02:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External Link and IP image

Hi Roguegeek, regarding:

... It looks ok, but it should be submitted through the Open Directory Project link listed in the external links section. Roguegeek (talk) 05:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

on the Honda S2000 discussion page, how do I submit this exactly? I couldn't figure it out by poking around the Open Directory pages. Thanks.

Also, regarding:

Those are excellent images of the S2000. If you are able to shoot more, we are in desperate need to get nice free use images of the interior and IP. Is this something you think you could get? ...

I can post more images, but what exactly is IP?
