User talk:Askolnick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Very sorry to see you gone, ask. :-( I hope you change your mind, you're a valuable contributor. Bishonen | talk 22:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC).
- I agree. He had the Balles (award). Bubba73 (talk), 13:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- I hope to see you back, too. You had an admirable fortitude. --BillC 14:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Am surprised by your departure -- and feeling a bit guilty, afraid that I may have been one of the SPAs who caused you frustration. As a new user I tried hard to follow the guidelines and be cordial, and I really appreciate all that you did to help orient me to Wikipedia culture. You were gracious in answering my questions, and I do appreciate your kind comments on my Talk page. In your absence, however short or long, I will do my best to respect your contributions to the article on Transcendental Meditation. My only hope is that the criticisms be fair and accurate. I have no interest in removing all of them, especially since they are only a quick Google away. The Wikipedia article on Transcendental Meditation represents our best hope for a valuable middle ground between the exclusively positive TM sites and the exclusively critical anti-TM sites. It is here that people will be able to see both sides presented in a neutral and even-handed way and then come to whatever conclusion they wish. TimidGuy 15:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adding garbage to articles
Adding garbage to the middle of an article as you did here is not appropriate. We've never crossed paths before, and I haven't looked up your contributions, but if this is typical of your editing style than I understand why you'd find things to be painful. If you happen to come back to read this, and this was a single event brought on by wikistress rather than your typical editing style, then please accept my appology for bringing it up this way on your talk page. Best wishes, whatever decision you make in regards to Wikipedia. --Stéphane Charette 23:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- What is really inappropriate is your attacking a departed editor in this way, three days after the edit in question. Perhaps you should have bothered to look at his contribs first. And you sound rather as if you think Askolnick put an argument visibly in the article itself—you do realize it was a commented-out query, I hope? Bishonen | talk 15:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC).
- Whether someone has temporarily left, permenantly left, or hasn't left at all, I still stand by my statement that adding this block of text into the middle of the article is not appropriate. Note that this wasn't the first time this was done -- if you look through the history of the article, Askolnick had done this before. Should all wrong behaviour be excused simply because someone threatens to leave Wikipedia? No. This wasn't an attack, as you attempted to label it. I was simply calling attention on Askolnick's talk page to something s/he did that was not appropriate. In addition, I don't know of a regulation that prevents me from bringing up on a talk page something that happened 3 days ago. If you look at my own contributions, you'll note that I was away on vacation for just under 2 weeks which is why I didn't see this on the day it happened. --Stéphane Charette 17:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- A "regulation"? Oh, please. It's quite all right to apply your ordinary human judgement, you know. And, yeah, I will "attempt to label" the word "garbage" (in the heading, yet—the only heading on this blanked page) as "an attack". Please just think about it.

[edit] Spiricom fact tags
Looks like you left Wikipedia, but incase you didn't, I just wanted to let you know that I deleted the fact tags you placed after every paragraph about Spiricom on the EVP page. I think thats going a little overboard. I instead added a faculaity dispute tag at the top of the article section which I feel is more appropriate. Cyberia23 22:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
