[edit] nordic theory

I can't delete it? That's odd, because you deleted a whole section of cited text added by another user. You made no criticism, since your complaints had no content to them. Saying 'this is rubbish' is just trolling. If there are particular passages that you dispute, say what they are and why you dispute them. Paul B (talk) 11:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 12:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Final warning

Any more talk page trolling, inserting unsourced racial theories, or vandalism will result in a lengthy block. PhilKnight (talk) 19:38, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


Could you please explain exactly what you are referring to? That is some allegation you make there.

[edit] 137.158.152.206 is a university proxy with almost 30,000 users behind it

206.152.158.137.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer srvwinisa003.wf.uct.ac.za. srvwinisa = Server for windows ISA proxy (Microsoft ISA Server: Integrated Edge Security Gateway Product)

There are 24,000 students and 7,000 staff at the University of Cape Town. The observed 2-3 trolls is particularly low considering the number of university students. Dissatisfaction with UCT's IT policy (the one that puts everyone behind a corporate firewall), should be directed to www.icts.uct.ac.za 137.158.152.206 (talk) 09:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
