[edit] Milan Crawford
It would be helpful if you would actually state what part of the Milan Crawford article contains "weasel words", otherwise i find such a banner inappropriate. If you had identified the said "weasel words", you could have easily removed them. Right? So what portion is the problem? Maybe I can address it, or maybe you are just mistaken.

- My concern is with the last sentence. ("who was charged with resisting arrest, had the charges against him thrown out by a grand jury" I admit it's only minor. But since I'm not fimiliar with the issue I though it best to just point it out. 1redrun Talk 11:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not following you here. Is the sentence grammatically incorrect? How would you say it? You are right, it is minor. So minor I don't know what you are talking about. (Mind meal 11:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC))
- The statement "thrown out by a grand jury" also expresses an opinion towards the subject. It's simple as that. The grammar is correct. 1redrun Talk 11:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

- I changed that part, despite my source having used the words "threw out by a grand jury" pertaining to the charges. "Thrown out" is a commonly used term for cases that are dismissed by a jury; not sure what was opinionated in stating that fact. Anyway, the "issue" was addressed.

[edit] Waldon athletic
Not sure what made you think that was nonsense. It may not be notable however. --Dweller 11:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- When I tagged it one of the first sentences read: "Capacity: one man and his dog ". For me that's nonsense. I also tought it to be non-notable but I only put one Speedy tag not two. 1redrun Talk 11:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think that was the originator being inappropriately humourous. The article as a whole wasn't nonsense, but I don't think it is notable. You can prod it, if you like, or if you think there's not even a claim to notability, speedy tag it. --Dweller 11:57, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Warning users for vandalism
I see that you just left a note for a user on his user page. Thank you for working to prevent vandalism. You should instead post to the user's talk page, on the "discussion" tab at the top of his userpage. For example, my talk page is User talk:Shalom. You can post a standard warning template such as {{subst:uw-test1}}. Shalom Hello 15:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Hossa... Thanks for pointing it out. I must have had a weak moment there. I usually put them on the talk page. As for templates: I can't remember the propper template most of the time so instead of looking for it I just type, I guess that takes about as long finding the propper template. 1redrun Talk
[edit] Talk:Transportation in Bundang
You should voice your opinion on the talk page. Deiz talk 10:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Robinho
Thanks for helping on Robinho today. I am on WP:3RR risk there today. A suspected sockpuppeteer User:AnonymousDude1993 and sockpuppets User:Futbolfan and User:IamRobinho are making the same DOB change adding the same comments that "he heard on TV that Robinho is 19 yrs old". Sockpupeteer has been reported to: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/AnonymousDude1993. Please keep an eye on this one. Thanks! Alexf(Talk/Contribs) 16:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Update: The new user you reverted today User:Randomuser3 seems to be another sockpuppet of User:AnonymousDude1993. He does the same edits (vandalism) to the same articles (Robinho, Kaká and others. If you find another suspected sockpuppet please report it to the link mentioned above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexf (talk • contribs) 12:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
I forwarded this user to admin attention for vandalism pointing out he probably is a sock puppet of these accounts. He's branching out other soccer related articles. 1redrun Talk 12:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Issue Of Civility (Or How I Messed Up Format At The End Of My Summer Vacation)
I was actually referring to User:EYEZONLY, not you. Sorry for the confusion. >.>; -WarthogDemon 17:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] alanscott sockpupet fearings
Greetings, I'm not sure the process here with the sockpuppets. I understand your request to research into my edits. That's all okay with me as I'm certain you'll find this is my only account on wikipedia. But do you know how long this thing takes? I don't like sockpupets fearness on my usertalk page. BTW: I only made so many edits initially on that article because I'm new to this whole format of wikipedia and trying to understand it. I wish to do things the correct way. It's just that article means alot to some people. Alanscott81 18:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Abd al-Bari Atwan
I reverted his last "pruning" (his edits could be construed as vandalism) and made some some changes of my own (mostly formatting to improve readability). It's not a subject I'm too familiar with so can't really make too much factual assistance, though controversy isn't something I shy away from :). One thing I am confused about though; why does the article's subject keep getting variations of his name through the article (even more so by that other guy's editing)? --WebHamster 10:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
-
- Fancy heading on over to Editor Assistance to have a look at how the Atwan article is progressing :) You were right in prophecising trouble! --WebHamster 18:16, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ted19
Thanks for the help, I have implemented both of your suggestions. As you can see I don't yet know the accepted practices for these things. One thing that's got me wondering is: How did you know about me so quick? I hadn't been a registered user for ten minutes before your message showed up! is there some page that lists new users? Or did you notice my one "contribution" (I undid some obvious vandalism.) Anyway, thanks for the help! Ted19 12:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I have been reverting vandalism, I was kind of wondering what the process is, so far I just undo it, Is there anything else to do when you find vandalism? Thanks. Ted19 13:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Just one more question if it's okay. Sometimes when I delete vandalism and then I go to the user's talk page to leave a note. I notice a message from a robot notifying the user that they had their vandalism reverted etc. Usually it is timestamped that minute. Is there a robot for every time vandalism is reverted to automatically send the user a message? Cause then I won't bother going to the talk page every time. Oh, and one more really quick question: Do I have to worry about the 3RR when I'm reverting vandalism? Ted19 14:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] speedy
Please, when you mark an article for speedy deletion, say so in the edit summary so it can be spotted immediately. (but WP:CRYSTAL isnt a reason for speedy--in any case the 2022 Olympics seems to be worth an article now) DGG (talk) 14:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
The 2022 Olympics is 14 years from now. How can this be worth of an article? Also my nomination for speedy was not because of WP:CRYSTAL but because it was just recentely deleted as WP:CRYSTAL. Please read my speedy reasoning. When it comes to the edit summary that's something I admit I sometimes forget. 1redrun Talk 14:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Alright I was mistaken. It wasn't deleted back then. Sorry. 1redrun Talk 14:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ICU userbox
Thanks for designing the userbox for the Intensive Care Unit. It looks great! Could you post for the rest of us to use? {{user ICU}} would be good. Realkyhick 02:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Supernanny response
QUOTE: "I'm just curious: Do your realy considder the supernanny show a valid and advisable resource for parenting? 1redrun Talk 12:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)"
In response to your question, the Supernanny show is an entertainment show. The website actually has excellent content and very good tips and advice for parents to help raise their children. So, the Supernanny show is not a valid resource for parenting, but the Supernanny website is.

[edit] League of Copyeditors roll call
 |
Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors. |

[edit] Translation Help
Greetings, I see that you translate articles from German to English. I was wondering if you also translate the other direction. There is an NBA player of Dutch and German ancestry whose article I would like to have translated into German. Do you think you could help? His name is Donald Boven. Thank you!--Eva bd 14:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
