[edit] It's not advertising!!!
Hey
I live in Charlotte! None of those are advertising ANYTHING!! They either EXPAND on topics briefly mentioned, or COVER topics NOT MENTIONED AT ALL!
Most of them are public utility links. Others are sites recently featured in the news for one reason or another as USEFUL!
I live here in Charlotte, YOU DO NOT!

[edit] Rosie O'Donnell
She is an idiot and I will thank you very much to not remove others' opinions from her talk page. User:68.219.74.230 23:18, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] West Side Story advertising
Thank you for taking action against the people advertising that local production of West Side Story in North Carolina. No matter how emphatic and obvious the policy is, there will always be people involved with local, amateur, and student productions of shows that will try to advertise on Wikipedia. We need more people like you who prevent pages from being cluttered by self-serving, irrelevant information.--Cassmus 07:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I just noticed it
Rejoice, my fellow! As Carmen Electra has now a new and wonderful free image! --Abu badali (talk) 16:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oppss
Sorry, I was going through VandalProof and I mistaked it for a brand new article in a foreign language, please accept my apologies in this matter! Tellyaddict 16:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RE: L.A. Coliseum and Sports Arena
The coliseum and sports arena are generally referred to as being in downtown but south is also correct. I wouldn't worry too much. I'm just waiting until the IP cools down a bit. -- bulletproof 3:16 00:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Great... now I have the image of sea slugs having an orgy in my head... Thanks a lot! -- bulletproof 3:16 00:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] wc death
as far as i know, they're now dismissing the idea of it relating to match fixing. But yeah, this world cup has everything- from the biggest upsets to tragedies. But just to stick to the cricket, its been a very interesting one. Im don't know about the black sox scandal can you fill me in on that?--Thugchildz 01:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Interesting, cricket went through a phase similar to that in the '90s when indian players were involved in match fixing scandals as well, but then the International Cricket Council took a strong stand against corruption and created the anti-corruption program.--Thugchildz 01:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Edit war question
Thanks for the advice. I really thought you were an admin, as much as I see your name on things. Couillaud 02:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Piggly Wiggly
I was not questioning your concern over this matter, only your methods of drawing attention to the problem. All articles have talk pages that are used for discussing problems with the article. Failing that Wikipedia:Copyright problems is the place to raise copyright concerns. I have compared the article with the Piggly Wiggly website, and deleted all the copy/pasted text that I found. —JeremyA (talk) 00:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- I put the unreferenced tag back in because, having removed the material that was most blatantly copied from the Piggly Wiggly website, it is unclear to me what the source of much of the information was. Granted, there are still a lot of facts that can be sourced to the official website, but I think that there are many that can't. Requesting that editors provide references is perfectly normal Wikipedia practice. —JeremyA (talk) 00:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Response to 24 1/2
I responded with: The 1/2 times comes from when a user put a message on my user page as opposed to my talk page. It wasn't really vandalism, so I included it as a "1/2" instead. :) It seemed better to list it as that than to list is as a full vandalism edit. Acalamari 23:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Apollo
Noted. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on continuing off-topic discussion/arguements after that point, since I really do want to see more information about the mounted camera. I figure any legitimate question on the talk page is something else that could probably be added to the article. ♦TH1RT3EN talk ♦ contribs 02:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jarry Park Stadium
My source is the French Wiki fr:Stade Jarry. One MUST distinguish between the stadium and the large urban park of the same name Jarry Park or Parc Jarry (fr:Parc Jarry). I KNOW, because I live here. Salut. Peter Horn 03:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- On second thought Jarry Stadium, a literal translation of Stade Jarry, would have been more appropriate. It is more ellegant and would also have preserved the distinction between the stadium and the urban park. See fr:Jarry#Toponyme. Peter Horn 13:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- The name (term) Jarry Park Stadium can be found within this link: Jarry Park

==Christy Mathewson Mathewson was born in 1878, not 1880 according to documents from Bucknell and reliable baseball research. Please do not change it back.
- The above IP address user has presented no actual evidence for the 1878 date. Wahkeenah 16:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Looney Tunes article
You should be informed that a Canadian dollar coin is called a Loonie because the reverse side of the coin has a loon which is a bird. Steelbeard1 17:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dates
Now I see your pain involving date changes. Ron liebman (talk • contribs) is even doing the same at other wikis such as here. Unfortunately records are sometimes muddy back then so sometimes it's best to explain the discrepancy like I did with this edit to Fred Clarke. On the other hand, it appears that Ron liebman is unwilling to get so specific about his sources so it could get ugly. —Wknight94 (talk) 17:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Major League Baseball titles streaks
Could you please explain to me what false edits} I made? I had seen there were several odd edits by a couple of IPs. I then reverted to your version and cleaned up the rather ugly formatting. If you prefer the weird formatting then say so but don't put in misleading edit summaries. If on the other hand it was an error on your part, in that you thought someone was inserting the odd edits of the IPs then I think you should take a few seconds to review edits rather than a blind revert. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry I see that I was a bit more grumpy than I needed to be. I was reverting a vandal. Saw they had also edited Christy Mathewson's birthday which I reverted based on the external links. Then I saw their edits to Major League Baseball titles streaks and your comments. Reverted to your last edit and fixed the formatting. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Felt
Thanks, I did not take it that way, I was a tad disappointed in myself that I had not caught the previous vandalism and was wondering how you identified and reverted it so quickly. Thanks.
