[edit] Heads up on the Matt Stairs article

Just letting you know that I edited one of your contributions to the Matt Stairs article, specifically the analysis of his defense, in case you might disagree with my revision. PianoMonkey 18:35, 28 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thought you might be interested...

hey cfif, thought you may be interested in the Kyle Farnsworth page i just added some edits to. i know he doesn't play with the cubs anymore (since they're your favorite team), but check the info and link i added. you'll be rewarded with laffs. Clinevol98

Good edits. --CFIF 21:55, August 4, 2005 (UTC)


by the way, i didnt think someone was doing exactly what i was doing on wikipedia; we both go to baseball team pages and write bios for the players that dont have them or expanding bios. like the farnsworth page...i love the braves and noticed that no one had put info about his fights.Clinevol98 22:00, 4 August 2005 (UTC)


We need more people like you. I really don't like seeing baseball stubs that consist of one-three sentences w/no external links or categories (besides "Baseball Biography Stubs"). --CFIF 22:03, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Alright, ill get around to adding the categories. Clinevol98 02:20, 11 August 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Katrina

What do you mean by "European"? People who live in Europe? People who were born in Europe? People who look like Europeans? With Katrina, I have already mentioned that I underestimated this event. And you are quoting what I said previously, while knowing subsequent events. I stand my my POV that America is not prepared for a large disaster, due to not having experienced once since 1906. I now hope that complacency will change. Leistung 15:59, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

You acted like the floods in Europe were more important than this disaster. --CFIF 19:26, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
We mainly saw CNN here, and it looked as if New Orleans was missed completely, and the storm passed over very quickly. Obviously the aftermath has compounded the problems, and the Katrina disaster appears bigger then anything in Europe. However, I do think that there should be some sort of local Civil Defense operating in the US. If there is, it doesn't seem to work. Do you have "what if" senarios there? We have had interest ones here on TV, eg, What if the power was switched off? Result: Total chaos. What if the young people refused to pay for old people? Result: the old folks die. Leistung 10:20, 2 September 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Externals on Katrina

Please don't reinsert those externals into the Katrina article. Wikipedia is not a link directory or an aggregation blog, See WP:NOT. In particular some of those sites which have been repeadidly inserted by open proxy addresses contain suspect donation requests. Wikipedia consensus since the tsunami is to not external to unoffical donation sites. --24.165.233.150 20:29, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Who are you to tell me that? Those are external links. And you can't seem to find a username. --CFIF 20:50, September 3, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Cats

Why are the categories not needed for some of the hurricane articles, as you've said in your edit summaries? --Golbez 00:41, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

They may confuse some people who look in the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season cat, and it's kind of useless to have a link in a category pointing to a disambig page. At least that's my reasoning. --CFIF 00:43, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I reverted your removal of the categories at the Tropical Storm Maria article because it is a guideline/policy of the tropical cyclone wikiproject to have those sorts of categories for tropical cyclone disambiguation pages. Just letting you know why. Miss Michelle | Talk to Michelle 17:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I didn't know about the guidelines --CFIF 21:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

(Moved this into the Cats section)

Personally I like looking at the season category and seeing a full list of names. It's even better when the disambiguation pages are obvious because they say (disambiguation), but I haven't gotten up to trying to convince people to rename them all. I agree that duplicate category entries are not needed however: for instance Hurricane Ophelia and Tropical Storm Ophelia do not both have to be in Category:2005 Atlantic hurricane season. Jdorje 09:18, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, that's why I removed them, because it may confuse people. --CFIF 14:44, 6 November 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Hurricane disambiguation categories

I noticed you removed the categories from Hurricane Arlene (which I added back). These categories don't hurt anything, they help navigation by filling out the categories for each season so all storms are visible there (see for instance Category:2005 Atlantic hurricane season. They've been added to *every* disambiguation article so removing them from just one isn't a good thing. If you feel strongly about this we should bring this up in a discussion somewhere and if there's consensus you can remove them from all the disambiguations. Jdorje 06:53, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I apologise. See the section above. --CFIF 12:43, 3 November 2005 (UTC)


[edit] hurricane button bars

Can you go through and fix all the button bars you've added? At minimum they need to use a template that's in the template space. Jdorje 08:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I fixed the ones added to hurricanes in the 2003 season. That's the only season I added a button bar to. --CFIF 13:39, 13 November 2005 (UTC)


[edit] TV Market

Hi, I have noticed that in the past you have edited or created a template for a television DMA (market) in North America, or have edited an articles about television stations. Currently their are several different styles of the template being used. Because of this i have set up a workshop to obtain input on setting up a common configuration for these templates. Feel free to assist at Wikipedia:WikiProject Television Stations/markets. Also while you are their, feel free to leave you name as a participant on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Television Stations as well as any comments you might have, to help wikipedia improve articles on television stations. If you know some one else who has helped contribute to these templates or you think would like to help, please pass this mesage on to them. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 04:39, 5 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Sarasota,FL

Hi, I noticed you have some activity in the Sarasota,FL article. My problem is that the article seems to have some features of the City of the Sarasota and the unincorperated parts of North Sarasota County (which most there considered themselves from Sarasota). Having lived in the unincorperated parts of the county for most of my whole life, this destinction is important. Most of the people don't live in the City of Sarasota. I just think the article needs to be strictly about the City of Sarasota, or preferably about the whole Sarasota Area (Mostly North Sarasota County). I was thinking that I should talk to someone who has some history in the article before I do anything else. --Iraqiman 06:02, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree. A lot of people assume Stephen King lives in Sarasota. Good idea --CFIF 12:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Tampa newspeople category

Hi. What do you think about making your Category:Tampa news personalities a subcategory of Category:Tampans? Just wondering... I can see the pros and cons of either approach. The Tampans one seems too generic but, from the wording in it, I'd assume the news personalities fit the dscription as residing in Tampa or having resided there. I also kinda figure Category:Mayors of Tampa, Florida belongs under Tampans too... wknight94 20:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Maybe as a sub-category. --CFIF 20:09, 17 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Florida.

I noticed from Category:Wikipedians in Florida that you are a floridian and I have created a state wikiproject, Wikipedia:WikiProject Florida. So far is it very small but it could be expanded later. Join it if you want and help make it grow, set tasks etc. Thanks. --Jaranda wat's sup 04:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Baseball on Wikicities

Hello CFIF, Googie Man here and I want to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan(and regular at Tropicana Field) on Wikipedian. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man(Talk), 21:26, 4 January 2006

Thanks so much for your response CFIF! I'll see you on the Baseball Wikicity. Googie Man, 21:34, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies RE: TV Templates

I have just read your message about the TV templates. Sorry... JB82{ * } 01:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
P.S. I don't believe in Carl Everett either.

OK.....just making sure you knew......--CFIF 02:14, 7 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] KTVX -> KTVX-TV Page move

As we have talked about on the talk page for KTVX, the page should have been kept at KTVX and not moved to KTVX-TV. The FCC call letters for this station are KTVX. I refer you to Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Broadcasting. Please make note of the phrase "... should always be titled with the official call sign as assigned by that country's regulatory authority." (bold text mine). If you have anything to add to the conversation please bring it up on the talk page of KTVX, we already have a section about the article name. A 02:38, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

But legally, all stations must have W/K___-TV/DT/LP/CA as a suffix. Technically WTVT, in Tampa does not have a -TV attached to it on its query page, but it's license says: Service Designation: TV NTSC (analog) television station. None of the stations have -TV directly attached to them on theit query page. But if it's liscense says Service Designation: TV NTSC (analog) television station, its suffix is TV. End of story. --CFIF 02:45, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
This has been gone over numerous times on the talk page of KTVX. Please pull up that page for further arguments, but in summary, the first type of service to be assigned call letters does NOT have any suffix. The service designation does not change the call letters. If you wish to argue this, please take it to the talk page of WP:Naming_conventions, but until the convention is changed, please do not move pages to -TV unless the FCC query returns the call letters as such. KTVX is NOT one of those stations. I did not set the convention, but I do what I can to keep the TV stations I have on my watchpage conforming to the convention. A 02:54, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I reverted your moves because these are the absolute correct callsigns to these stations. As a New York City-area resident, I happen to see that stations such as WNBC, WNYW and WPIX currently id themselves with those callsigns, and not as WNBC-TV, WNYW-TV and WPIX-TV. These are the official callsigns according to the FCC, and unless proven otherwise, these should be the titles. As A said, all titles should be based on the official callsign as regulated by the government, as shown here:Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Broadcasting. ErikNY 20:52, 10 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Hello Chris

I’m sorry to say that this user want to delete all articles in Dates in baseball (please see), because he (or she) ‘’don't see baseball history by date as notable or useful” (¡?). I would like to know what do you think about it. Thanks in advance. MusiCitizen 22:25, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] dont bite the newcomers!

A template for deletion for someone as new as this user is poison-- especially when it can benifit from a clean up. Please remove your template for deletion and walk through this user how they can be a better wikipedian and improve the template. it's better to show a man how to fish than to tell him his fish doesn't taste very good :). Thanks, --Urthogie 23:22, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. It's just that the template was somewhat messy, and it clashed with pages. Its not really the users fault and not blaming him/her, I just think it was a little too messy. I'll try to get rid of it off the deletion page. --CFIF 00:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, I really appreciate it!!! --User:WIKISCRIPPS2005 21:16 EST FRI FEB 03 2006 | 02:16 UTC SAT FEB 04 2006
You are welcome! --CFIF 02:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out so much, it was really a reasonable mistake. Just make sure to check if a not so great article or template was made by someone whos new to wikipedia in the future-- and guide them through it. Peace!--Urthogie 15:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Future Templates

I have ideas for corporate templates for the following companies:

I'm just curious to know if any or all of them are good ideas...

I would also like to know of the formatting of a template...

--User:WIKISCRIPPS2005 21:37 EST FRI FEB 03 2006 | 02:37 UTC SAT FEB 04 2006

Sinclair would be a great one, along with Gannett and Raycom. Just create them like you did before. Go to the corporate websites for the information on the important folks, and other Wikipedians will be glad to help you create one. If you want, you can create a sub-page for a work in progress by creating something like: User:WIKISCRIPPS2005/Gannett Template. (I'll post this on your talk page also). --CFIF 02:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
A Sinclair Template (SBGI) is up and running and I think Gannett should be next in line... --User:WIKISCRIPPS2005 22:50 EST SUN FEB 05 2006 | 03:50 UTC MON FEB 06 2006
Two new templates for Gannett and Raycom Media are now up and running. Enjoy!!! --WIKISCRIPPSUltimate 14:43 EST FRI FEB 17 2006 | 19:43 FRI FEB 17 2006

[edit] CW Network affiliate talk page goof

(From my own talk page) Umm, sorry. That was an error. I had no idea what you were talking about until I went and looked on my computer. It appears I accidentally pasted something into the talk page! It was a keyboard error, and has been fixed. Sorry again! MPWard 05:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I just realized something, when trying to figure this out. (The error in question had the URL of the talk page pasted in mid-word in one of your sentences.) I have seen Firefox do this before, where for whatever reason, it spits out the URL of the current page into the nearest typing buffer. I can't remember what action causes that, if any, but I've seen it. Again, it was wholly unintentional, and I apologize. I'll be extra careful to watch for these before submitting "Save page". I usually am watchful and do "Show preview" 99% of the time. If you see it again, please feel free to revert! MPWard 06:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WHDH

The actual the official station logo under Sunbeam Television does have a NBC Peacok logo in it I have seen it. (Also look at the bottom left hand corner of their website's main page and you'll see the 7 logo with a peacock as well). I also remember doing some research on the station about 5 years ago and their official logo had a NBC peacock in it with in bold letters saying WHDH-TV under both 7 and the peacock. The logo that you have displayed is only their news logo and NOT the official station logo. Also why would have the station's non-news brand be called 7NBC if it didn't have a peacock (or the letters) in its official logo?

Here's proof of this: Image:Promo logo for WHDH.gif

Leonard23 10:41 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Leonard23 is right. I live here in Brockton and they use the "7 NBC" branding as well as that logo outside of their news programming. 72.155.135.227 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop referring to other editors' work on WP as "Crappy", "Worthless", "lies", "stupid", "dumb", "sloppy", "substandard", "dumbass", "BS", "ridiculous", etc

When you write things like that, in edit summaries, or on talk pages, you are violating WP:Civil. Whether or not you believe the edits to be less than high-quality, or correct, your comments only serve to inflame the situation. You are thus causing problems. I've already asked you once, on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations, only to see you again call another editor's work "worthless". Edit summaries are to reflect why you are editing the page or section, not your opinion of other editors' work. A look at your edit summaries list is quite troubling, because it shows a pattern of violating WP policy. Please stop.--Firsfron 18:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I apologize. I just have a problem with certain people (namely anonymous users, who are mainly vandals) and I have a problem with keeping it to myself. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:54, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree it can be difficult dealing with real vandalism. Incorrect information, however, is rarely vandalism. Your edits on WP have been very valid and usually high-quality work. But your edit list is troubling to me because of the unneeded commentaries about the quality of others' work. Now that you realize you've accidentally violated a WP official policy, I know you won't do it again, because you are a good editor, clearly.--Firsfron 19:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you. I'll try to stop with the comments. --CFIF (talk to me) 19:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, and thanks also for your swift response.--Firsfron 19:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] WSAZ

On the My Network TV list of affiliates you need to quit reverting the affiliate of the WSAZ digital subchannel back to WB. Also you don't need to leave comments like "well duh"! Not to be rude but when you post something you need to check your information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alucard 16 (talk • contribs)

"you post something you need to check your information."

I'm NOT stupid. It was a little more than obvious that it was going to be MNTV on a digital subchannel. After all was the page is called List of My Network TV affiliates. And I did not "revert the affiliate of the WSAZ digital subchannel to WB" so I think you need to "check your information". --CFIF (talk to me) 22:05, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I did not say you were stupid. The reverts I was referring to was on [April 22 @ 13:42] and [April 4 @11:42]. Thank you on your recent correction by saying 'None'. --Alucard_16 22: 37 8 May 2006

[edit] WKOW

Why would our logo be a POV? Its part of our stations history. I am an employee of WKOW and I wish this would stay on here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wisconsineditor (talk • contribs)

The logo has nothing to do with it, but you need to stop posting POV words to it. (like "As an ABC affiliate, WKOW-TV provides viewers of Southern Wisconsin and extreme Northern Illinois with quality programming from ABC" "For the past 50 years, WKOW 27 has been a pioneer for new technology and at the pinnacle of breaking news coverage. WKOW 27 continues to be on the cutting edge of broadcast media and advanced technology.") You just can't do that here. --CFIF (talk to me) 20:16, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] WKOW

What is up with the content on the WKOW information? I tried to change it so you would remove the tag and the POV. I dont see what the problem is with the current information. Pointless and selfish. The only people who will be looking at this information are probably local residents of Madison and you should let us do our work because we know our information. I intern at WKOW and its apparent I know what is best for what goes on the site.

Why don't you learn how to sign your comments first! I don't believe you have any buisness telling ME to "let you do your work because you know your information." I know my information too --CFIF (talk to me) 01:04, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me.....your talk page is kind of the only way to talk to you. Don't make me report you to the admins here. --CFIF (talk to me) 00:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

What you are doing to my sub-pages? You've crossed the line. A lot of people make sub-pages. Please, leave me alone. I've had enough of you. CoolKatt number 99999 20:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I've crossed the line? I don't think so. I think you sir, have crossed the line. See you at RfC. --CFIF (talk to me) 20:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Let's accuse me some more of something I don't do. --CFIF (talk to me) 22:08, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Look, I want you to just leave me alone. Withdraw your MfD, and let's end this silly dispute, OK? CoolKatt number 99999 22:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
No can do, sorry. --CFIF (talk to me) 22:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
You're the one bugging me. Stop calling me uncivil for listing your little subpages for deletion.
Actually, you started this waaaaaay back here: [1].

Now, withdraw the MfD and stop interfering with my Wikipedia experience. CoolKatt number 99999 00:30, 18 May 2006 (UTC) Don't you tell me what to do. Excuse me for warning you about your little edit spree that took up many people's precious time and effort to revert.

Stop interfering with my Wikipedia experience. You play the victim on other's talk pages and make me out to be the "big meanie", yet get uncivil and nasty with me on my talk page. And I'm the one supposedly harrasing you? --CFIF (talk to me) 00:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Alright already! Settle down. Both of you, please! How about you both calm down and let the MfD precede? 66.82.9.59 04:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC) (comment really by -- Chris Ccool2ax contrib.


[edit] Possible Template for Internet Broadcasting

I hope I didn't get you at a bad time... But I wanted to ask you... What do you think of a business template for Internet Broadcasting??? Let me know ASAP!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 (formerly WIKISCRIPPS2005) TUE MAY 23 2006 5:38 PM EDT

It's not really a broadcasting company, though...--CFIF (talk to me) 21:39, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Maybe so -- but I'm running out of ideas and I'm already planning templates for Belo, Gray Television and McGraw-Hill... A lot of the other major companies have been taken... It won't hurt to give it a shot!!! Right!?!? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE MAY 23 2006 5:47 PM EDT
Well if all the necessary templates have been created, there's no need for more on a website company...it will probably just clutter the station pages. --CFIF (talk to me) 22:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
How about Cox Communications? --CFIF (talk to me) 22:02, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Well... Okay... I'll try to get around it but I always thought it was about creativity!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE MAY 23 2006 6:59 PM EDT


[edit] Template:COX

I completed the template for Cox Enterprises -- but it took me a while... See for yourself why!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE MAY 23 2006 10:09 PM EDT

Nice job. --CFIF (talk to me) 11:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

It looks big and can use some adjustments -- including a navigational frame giving users the option to hide or view the template when they're viewing an article -- just like what was done with all of the business templates!!!

I know I might be going overboard and this could be considered as a very tall order but I do like to bring up a cause for experimental templates.

Tell me if you like the idea or no...

If you like it... Tell me why and if any changes are necessary then tell me what are they...

If you don't me then please tell me why and I'll try something else...

Please take into consideration!!!

WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAY 26 2006 7:20 PM EDT

Yeah, it's a little overboard. --CFIF (talk to me) 23:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, wouldn't you agree though that we should experiment with such items??? By the way -- what do you suggest that is reasonable??? WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAY 26 2006 7:35 PM EDT
It's so big though, too much clutter. --CFIF (talk to me) 23:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Well then... Do you have any ideas for new templates??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAY 26 7:50 PM EDT
Maybe you could split those sections up. --CFIF (talk to me) 23:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
How would I do that??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAY 26 2006 7:59 PM EDT
Create different templates for each one.... like "ABC Michigan", etc. --CFIF (talk to me) 00:00, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
What do you mean??? How would I be able to do that??? I tried doing it here while typing this message but I couldn't!!! Please explain in detail!!! --WIKISCRIPP 07 FRI MAY 26 2006 8:13 PM EDT
Exactly like the TV Market templates...split everything up.... --CFIF (talk to me) 00:16, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
You mean -- like this...???

[edit] Do Not Speak for Me

When I remove comments I have made, please do not put them in. You do not have the right to speak for me. 75.3.15.49 00:25, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

And you don't have the right to remove comments on people's talk pages. Why don't you get a username? --CFIF (talk to me) 00:30, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I only removed my comments. 75.3.15.49 01:33, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Which is bad etiquette, and you aren't supposed to remove any comments on any talk page. Even your own. --CFIF (talk to me) 01:38, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Intrastate Broadcast Templates (Picking up from Experimenting with TOC Templates)

How can I include the templates in one or more categories??? -- Also, keep in mind that I have the immediate service area of each of the stations listed... So if nothing else let's get them started!!! Also, we need a separate template of the "other" stations... The reason I say that is fairly simple -- because not every network has enough stations for these to have own template... Give you an example of what I'm talking about... The spanish network Univision has only one station in Michigan -- that being Detroit's WUDT-CA You understand what I'm talking about... Right!?!? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAY 26 2006 9:08 PM EDT

Yup. Only add full-power independents/affiliates and low-power affils if any. --CFIF (talk to me) 01:10, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay... QUESTION #1:
Well then tell me what am I to do with other networks such as Univision, Urban America Television, i: Independent Television and FamilyNet, among many others???
NEXT QUESTION:
How would we set these up for markets bordering Mexico and Canada and how would design templates for stations in those countries???
THE THIRD AND FINAL QUESTION:
Categories. How can I include one of these templates in one or more categories???
Please WB ASAP!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAY 26 9:22 PM EDT
1. Only include i, Univision, Telefutura, Telemundo, and full-power independents. also, put it like this: (i/City), etc.
2. Just include stations serving the state (e.g. XETV)
3. Just create a category and link it in the template. --CFIF (talk to me) 01:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
How would I do the formatting for categorization is what I mean??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAY 26 2006 9:39 PM EDT
Just add Category: _____ affiliates in *state* below the template stuff. --CFIF (talk to me) 01:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
No pressure -- let me rephrase that!!! When editing the templates... What are the HTML codes for categorization??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 FRI MAY 26 2006 9:44 PM EDT
Not sure what you mean.....just add [[Category:ABC affiliates in Michigan]] to the bottom w/o the "no wiki" tags of course. --CFIF (talk to me) 13:51, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, take a look at this:

There's Fox Florida. --CFIF (talk to me) 15:25, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah... I also wanted to point out regarding the UPN and WB stations... In each of these templates -- reflecting to the huge higher in the talk page that I showed you days ago -- you want to place a little note underneath the Table name -- (i.e.: for UPN stations,
Note: In parenthesis is the alternate affiliation following the UPN shutdown -- Effective September 2006
) Here you would put whether the stations would joining The CW or My Network TV or if infact the station would become Independent and you put it in parenthesis "()" along the station's immediate service area -- (i.e.: KCOP 13 (Los Angeles, MNTV) for Los Angeles' UPN station.)

Should you find a station that hasn't decided its affiliation then you put "ND" for "not yet decided". (i.e.: WFQX 33 / WFUP 45 (Traverse City / Cadillac, ND) -- for the Fox/UPN stations in Traverse City, Michigan.)

Also -- for stations that will carry one of these networks on a digital subchannel -- you would put the following:

Example using Cincinnati CBS station WKRC:

WKRC-DT 31.2 (Cincinnati) -- because it would be a new subchannel it is best to wait 'til after The CW has launched.

For other stations:

In Madison, WI... WISC-DT 50.2 (Madison, MNTV) -- in the UPN Wisconsin Template.

Anything else I should cover??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SAT MAY 27 2006 12:22 PM EDT

Maybe instead of adding UPN and WBs, put CW's and MNTV's and put undecideds in the "other" area. --CFIF (talk to me) 16:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Regarding the new market template proposal

Would the "Intrastate Affiliation" templates be required to comply with the new changes??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE MAY 30 2006 1:54 PM EDT

Probably not. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you, CFIF!

I saw that that WBXH-CA article was very fishy (coming right off a tab of the WAFB/WBXH Raycom Media page). I didn't know what to put there, so I brought it up on the talk page. And you came through, replacing a biased statement with one that was fair and balanced (non-Fox News). -Tracker 18:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About that message you left on User talk:BenH

I really doubt this guy reads his talk page at all. Do you know of any Wikipedia policy that allows blocks for unconstructive edits? Because this has been going on since, what, January(?), and it really is about time action is taken. -Whomp 02:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Heck, I think I just found one: WP:BLOCK#Users_who_exhaust_the_community.27s_patience. -Whomp 02:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A complaint re:Sue Simmons

Dear sir or madam: I feel that the Wikipedia is a very inaccurate (which has been proven) and childish website. You proved the childish part with your comment "Removed link that no longer is useful because the idiot, and yes, I do mean idiot, who runs that site took it down b/c it was linked from wikipedia". You shouldn't be calling people idiots. I feel that Wikipedia should not link to my site so I removed the page. It is protected speech in both the United States and in Canada. Given the fact that most of the editors on Wikipedia are either high schoolers or have the mental age of high schoolers I do not wish to have anything to do with it, save for this complaint which will be my first and most likely last comment on this bloody website. Thank you. ComplaintAgainstCFIF 02:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CoolKatt number 99999

What do you think should be done about him? David Levy won't get involved, and now CoolKatt has enlisted Firsron of Rochester to support him.

Firsfron left me two messages on my talk page, including the same sentence twice, asking me to stop labelling others' work as "vandalism". I left him a note on his talk page, explaining my side of the story. He responded by telling me that he "didn't bother to read this message", and that he "(didn't) care, and I'm again asking you not to violate Wikipedia policy". If he doesn't care about what I have to say, then why should I care about what he has to say?

Last time I checked, Firsfron is NOT AN ADMINISTRATOR, so to me his opinion has no weight. We need to build up a stong case between ourselves against CoolKatt, either through Request for comment or some other means, because now he's feeling even more empowered and he needs to be brought down. Rollosmokes 16:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I know you and I have had some disagreements in the past...but I think we can agree on the fact that CoolKatt is a problem user who does stuff out of process. He plays the victim through David Levy, Firsfron, and other admins and runs smear campaigns against users like me and you, playing the "helpless" game. CoolKatt also believes he can just say what he wants and he won't get in trouble because he has people like Firsfron and David Levy on his side to back him up. He even had the nerve to make legal threats against me, which is strictly forbidden at WP, yet all's he gets is a slap on the wrist and I even get warned. CoolKatt also has those ridiculous subpages which have no place at WP. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
This sounds a lot like trolling -- not to mention he's constantly trying to cover up!!! --WIKISCRIPPS 07 TUE JUN 6 2006 1:53 PM EDT

I've finally confirmed my e-mail address with Wikipedia, so perhaps we should all discuss our next moves in private, then come back with something that will hopefully stick. Rollosmokes 18:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your recent revert of actual vandalism on CK's page, CFIF. Thanks. As far "backing CoolKatt", I've done no such thing, and left the same warning on both users' (Rollo's and CK's) pages. I would prefer not to take sides, but it saddens me to see statements like someone "needs to be taken down". In peace,--Firsfron of Ronchester 18:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

It's not fair though that there is some kind of double standard against certain users. CoolKatt makes a legal threat, and gets a slap on the wrist while other users make legal threats and get banned. It's a major rule at WP. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree. --Firsfron of Ronchester 18:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] TD1

Hey, I don't want to get into an edit war, so I'll just post here. I think, general consensus last season was that info from NHC text forecast to be put down. For the non-US users, we still don't know where those counties are exactly in FL. So, perhaps a more generic "landfall in Florida", as a compromise? NSLE (T+C) at 15:27 UTC (2006-06-10)

Okay...sounds good. --CFIF (talk to me) 15:28, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan! --CFIF (talk to me) 23:16, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

It just popped in my head while I went around making minor fixes to some of the existing templates...
Oh!!! I just though of another idea!!! A default template that would give the user an idea of how to setup the template -- like they do with Business Navigation Boxes (Template:Navbox Company). I got it!!! How does Template:Intrastate Broadcast sound??? --WIKISCRIPPS 07 SUN JUN 11 2006 7:48 PM EDT

[edit] BenH -- on another website?

I know this may be using a talk page for the wrong thing, but hopefully this may prove that he has no idea what he is talking about. After reading this edit summary by TPIRFanSteve, I decided to actually visit that website. Now, I'm not some die-hard Price is Right fan, but I knew I was on to something when I found two posts from him in this thread, and another one here.

Knowing his full last name, I tried Googling it. I was suprised when I saw that he may have been or might currently be active on IMDB and/or TV.com. Now, there isn't really any way to prove this. I just thought you might be interested in this stuff. —Whomp [T] [C] 21:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contestants' Row images

Hey...I'm not sure I get why you'd want that new, overly dark image of Contestants' Row in the TPIR article when the one it replaced was so much more crisp and clear. Actually, I don't think any of the pictures Cheesehead added today are any good, with the exception of the Showcase podiums. They're all quite blurry compared to the ones he removed. -TPIRFanSteve 22:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

They don't look that bad. --CFIF (talk to me) 22:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
In and of themselves, perhaps not. But compared to the images Cheesehead was using them to replace, they look like shit. Plain and simple, there was no justifiable reason for his changing them. -TPIRFanSteve 01:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
It's true; they do look worse. It was better to leave well enough alone. 71.35.115.38 01:07, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • This user TPIRFanSteve seems to have taken obsessive ownership of the various Price is Right articles and reacts to any change with reverts, just look at his edit history. I replaced bad images with better quality ones. If all the users are going to be as abusive as TPIRFanSteve I may just leave. Cheesehead 1980 01:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
1.) I revert stuff when it's questionable or inaccurate. It's not my fault if it happens on a regular basis.
2.) If you think your images look better than the old ones, you are badly in need of an appointment with your eye doctor. I sincerely hope you do not intend to keep doing this. -TPIRFanSteve 01:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Digital broadcast info for various stations and possible national AccuWeather channel

I was looking at TV listings on Zap2it and found some interesting details. Apparently WWOR and WNYW cross offer each other on their DT3 channel. I was also looking for a listing that had WABC online Eyewhitness News Now as a sub-channel. It has ABC Eye Witness News & Weather listed and I wonder if it is the same feed as online. If this is the case, I think AccuWeather has created an all weather channel, like NBC Weather Plus. I wonder if other ABC O&O channels offer this service along with WFMZ and WSVN. Have you heard anything about a national AccuWeather channel?Sam 06:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

My response from my talk page:

The paragraph in WABC-TV was poorly written, and the mentions of the other stations and NBC in it are unnecessary. Furthermore, it should be flagged with a "citation needed" marker. AS for what the stations do with their DTV subchannels, perhaps we should leave it up to the Television Stations WikiProject to determine whether they should be included in articles.
Furthermore, mentions of what the stations call their respective weather radars (eg.: The station's radar is called "Mega Doppler 3", from KYW-TV, now deleted) is unnecessary and redundant. Those lines don't belong in articles.

Comments? Rollosmokes 06:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Umm.....I think it depends on the notability of the radar, for example, WTVT's "SkyTower HD VIPIR" is the most powerful high definition TV station radar in the world, and I think that's worth mentioning. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Be civil

Please remember to be CIVIL. I have left a message on BenH's talk page asking him to contact me to discuss his changes. Sue Anne 00:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Template:Vandal

Just so you know, {{vandal}} was moved to {{userlinks}} somewhat recently for the precise reason of avoiding the appearance of calling someone a vandal merely by wanting to get all of the appropriate links. It still caught RadioKirk offguard, too. --Cyde↔Weys 19:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

See now you really are vandalizing my page. I am reporting you to the administrator. You are not only vandalizing my page, you are harassing me. Leonard23 10:53, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] An alternative

You know, as much as I want him banned, I really think begging the admins won't do much. I really think that one of us should just start an RfC against him, and just go from there. However, the dispute statement should be a neutrally toned and civil one; knowing that you will probably have a biased one, maybe me or Azumanga1 should start it. —Whomp [T] [C] 00:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Let's do it! --CFIF (talk to me) 00:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Hey, not bad. I'll probably prepare a statement, and post it tomorrow. —Whomp [T] [C] 00:56, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, I left a few messages on some talk pages directing users familar with him to the RfC. Hopefully, this should help it gain some more attention. —Whomp [T] [C] 01:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] rfc

how long are these supposed to go on before someone comes in and makes a decision on them? its been open a month. --Crossmr 23:03, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More CoolKatt junk

He's at it again, making unnecessary revertions and poor edits to WVIT, WPHL-TV, and WCAU. He is even trying to re-merge WGTW-TV and WKBS-TV (Philadelphia) despite the consensus being in favor to keep the two articles separate. He is using this example as a basis to split KYW-TV, WPVI-TV, and WCAU into various articles based on call letter/ownership changes. Of course, most of the revertions and revisions have been done by me, and he continues to revert to his versions of poorer quality.

We all have a common cause in wanting BenH blocked permanently. For CoolKatt to be a part of this, considering his cavalier attitude about his own problems, is hypocritical. Something has to be done about him. Rollosmokes 05:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

He's taking it personal again against me. Witness his latest tirade from my talk page:

CK: Please stop reverting my edits, especially if you yourself do not want to get blocked. Also, stop being uncivil on my talk page, if you can't be civil, don't leave me any messages at all...believe it or not, you ARE violating WP:OWN...
RS: Me, get blocked? Me, uncivil? Me, violating WP:OWN? Puhleeezzzeee!!!
CK: And by the way, WKBS and WGTW need to be merged, like it or not
RS: Says you, and only you. Who made you an administrator? Unless you are, then your words mean NOTHING. As for me, they mean even less. Have you forgotten the trouble you put me through when you tried to bully me? Not to mention that feeble attempt to muzzle me with that token Request for Comment -- which, by the way, I've never gotten an apology for (from YOU) for after it went down in flames? In short, should I listen to anything you say? Sure, WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER. I have spoken.

[edit] WP:NPA Warning

Hi, please consider this an personal attack warning, regarding your edit on BenH's talk page [2] and his user page. I know you are a very good editor and that BenH is getting on your nerves, but calling other editors "worthless" is so far over the line that I had to give you one.
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. CharonX/talk 11:18, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry, but I feel that the admins are turning a blind eye to this poor editor. He needs to be stopped ASAP. --CFIF (talk to me) 13:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, his adding of false facts needs to be stopped. I hope that some admin puts a week-long ban on him, so he is basically forced to talk with you. If that does not help, perhaps a even longer block is required, due to distruption. Try talking to JZG or any other admin that took interest in that RfC. BenH seems to be a hard working, but clumsy and misguided, editor, so if he could be turned into a productive member much could be gained, I believe. But still the sad and true fact is - when normal talk doesn't reach him, namecalling won't do any better... CharonX/talk 15:39, 1 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] User: 72.147.64.8

Yeah, that IS me. I do live in Central Alabama, so I do know what WVTM has on-air. So stop vandalisming that page. That reverts you are doing is considered vandalism since you don't live in Alabama, but Sarasota, Florida. I'm trying to keep this as civil as possible, so stop vandalizing the page. Leonard23 11:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the ident below it looks like it was made in Paint, and the ident is unneeded. You need to stop before I report you again. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:00, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

The ID was made with MS Paint and is used on TV here by WVTM (something you would know if you lived here). You're the one that has been reported upon, and keep it up I'll do it again. You are creating a track record for yourself with other editors to be a troublemaker/vandal involving TV stations. Leonard23 12:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] 3RR on WVTM-TV

You have been blocked 24 hours for violating WP:3RR. Upon expiration of your block, use WP:DR if you are having a content dispute and do not label others' edits as vandalism until you've read WP:VAND. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 17:49, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Why do I get punished too? He kept inserting a bad logo there, and at first I had no idea that Leonard was that IP. That rule is so stupid, especially when you're dealing with idiots "misguided contributors" --CFIF (talk to me) 17:53, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not a problem editor, you know. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

The reason I wanted that crappy logo out is that Leonard added the ID Paint and there is no place for that. I'm tired of being treated like a problem editor, because I'm not. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:59, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Leonard uses sockpuppets and gets the same block as me, why's that fair? --CFIF (talk to me) 18:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Please see my comment on WP:AN/I. The fact is, you both are guilty of 3RR and you both should be blocked for it. This petty edit war is not vandalism, despite the protestations of each of you; it is a mere dispute over each of you wanting to put in "your" logo. WP:CITE a WP:RS for the correct, current logo, keep it, and stop edit-warring. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

So why doesn't he get blocked forever for using sockpuppets. There is an obvious double standard here. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

"Blocked forever for using sockpuppets" doesn't happen unless it's long-term or significant actual vandalism; he broke 3RR, you broke 3RR, you both got 24 hours, period. Meantime, you're evading the point: both of you have been warned before about this kind of behavior; both of you have been advised of the dispute resolution process, both of you have been advised to ask for administrative help (which you did, after engaging in yet another edit war), and both of you have been reminded to provide evidence for your respective positions. Still, you continue the edit war. That is the mark of a "problem user", even if well-intentioned. The trick now is getting you both to stop the problem, which requires equal effort from you both; I will not play "he's the problem/no, he's the problem", and neither will you. Let's solve this. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:12, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Well I'll just have to open a little RfC against Leonard. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
You're not getting the point, are you? Demonstrate to me, other admins and every other Wikipedia editor why yours is the correct version, with citation, and stop the war—that is your intention, right, or are you the "problem user" you claim to not be? WP:V clearly states, "the theshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth", and that's especially true for images (to avoid violating copyright law). You can stop this whole thing by demonstrating whose version is right and why. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:27, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

My logo is the correct one because [3] their logo does not include the ID under it. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Researching... RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

If I weren't blocked, I could be fixing crap like that. --CFIF (talk to me) 18:53, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

If you hadn't ignored your lesson before about perpetuating edit wars, you wouldn't be blocked. Please stop the "poor me" act. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 19:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:WVTM ID.jpg

After considerable review, Image:WVTM ID.jpg cannot be used on WVTM-TV. While the image may or may not be a correct representation of the station's broadcast logo, it does not match any representation of the station's logo on its website, rendering it original research (as anyone living outside the station's broadcast capability has no "resources they may consult to pursue their own research"). This image also carries potential copyright issues as, since it is an alteration combining these two images with original artwork, it is not among the logos specifically offered for use by the station's website. While this image cannot be used and has been deleted, I should mention that a low-resolution, unaltered screenshot of a direct-broadcast logo would be acceptable.

To expand, meantime, on an earlier point: it takes two people to engage in an edit war, but only one to stop it. If you can't work together for the benefit of the encyclopedia (the goal being that Wikipedia is correct about everything, not its individual users) then you will have to work apart—as in, avoiding any page on which the other edits.

RadioKirk (u|t|c) 16:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

See, I had a reason for not using it. Leonard is just, simply, a problem. I think you need to take a close watch on him. I'll avoid edit warring with him. --CFIF (talk to me) 16:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
You know, I knew you'd respond with a variation of "see, I was right, and he's a problem." Reread that second paragraph. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 16:55, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I read it, I said I'd stop. If he starts an edit war, I'll just have to back down and let the quality of a certain article suffer until someone steps in and does the right thing. Other than edit warring, I don't see why I should be treated the same as a sockpuppeteer and borderline vandal (removed his sockpuppet case, blanked his talk page, tried to open a silly ArbCom against me and Bishonen) who acts belligerently constantly. --CFIF (talk to me) 16:58, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm just waiting for the block to expire so I can contribute to articles before I go on vacation. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
If all you got out of this was "I was the only one who was right and he's the only one who's a problem," then you are the problem editor you so vehemently claim not to be. If, on the other hand, you understand that, against the cooperative spirit of Wikipedia, you exacerbated the problem instead of working to solve the problem (through either administrative assistance or dispute resolution), then you've come through this with the correct attitude. We're here to build an encyclopedia, not to be "right". RadioKirk (u|t|c) 17:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I learned that I might as well ignore Leonard and if he bothers me I'll file an RfC (and not edit war or violate "my favorite rule") so he and all his "suspected" sockpuppets can be (hopefully) permablocked, therefore, solving the problem. --CFIF (talk to me) 17:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Process is good. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 17:08, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Bad logo"

You've reverted a "bad logo" that is among those included at the TV station's website. Can you demonstrate that the one you've included is the (and the only) logo since 1998? (I should mention that, if you can demonstrate that the current logo [not just the basic design, but the current Ford Motor Company-like configuration] has been in use since 1998, it should be removed altogether from the list of "Past logos".) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 02:31, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

It's really tiny and the main logo is of obvious higher quality. --CFIF (talk to me) 20:55, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Then the correct action would be to replace the really tiny logo with one from the TV station's website, especially if it's demonstrable that the "main" logo has not been in use in that exact form since 1998. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 21:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Comment on BenH's talk page

Your recent comment on BenH's talk page is really uncivil and completely out of line. For all we know, BenH might be a non-native speaker. The admin working on the issue that had blocked BenH had already mentioned that his comment was hard to understand and there din't need to be any piling on ... Sue Anne 21:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but he has absolutely no place editing an English Wikipedia if he is going to:
  1. Continue making similar edits to TV station articles as he had in the past
  1. Type in awfully incoherent sentences

And if he continues, WP:TVS will have absoultely no choice but to revert his changes to TV station articles.

He had also posted on [www.Golden-Road.net Golden-Road.Net] an American [English] The Price is Right (US) message board as "Ben Hallums" so he obviously lives in the United States.

Is WP about making sure we have a quality encyclopedia? Because sometimes it doesn't seem that way, and it seems to be about "Assuming good faith" and "being nice" to problem editors. Do you realize this is the first time he's edited a talk page? He's obviously not interested in working a solution, just playing the victim and trying to get unblocked so he can go on more edit rampages which get reverted quickly. --CFIF (talk to me) 23:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] CoolKatt (block evasion)

I assume further reprecussions will arise from him evading his block, strictly against policy. --CFIF (talk to me) 19:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
When a user evades a block, the blocking policy advises sysops to reset the original block. Additional time may be added if the user commits another blockable act. —David Levy 19:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

There is such a thing as holding the high ground, Chris. As admins, Pgk and I are frequently required to deal with a lot of malice and aggro directed out ourselves — and we have to do so professionally, without being incivil ourselves. We appreciate that it is difficult; I can't speak for Pgk, but I know I've strayed into impoliteness once or twice in my time on Wikipedia. You're not Robinson Crusoe here. The idea is to be always trying to make Wikipedia a more civil and pleasant place for the people we deal with, rather than simply brushing off such concerns with a, "Well, he's not a very nice chap." Even if one concedes, for the sake of argument, that CoolKatt is not a very nice chap, you are (right?). You'll be surprised at just how easy it is to fall into bad habits when dealing with users you find unpleasant, and how much nicer interacting with everybody else can be if you don't fall into these habits. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 08:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
It's just so hard because CoolKatt is a master of provoking people. He knows what ticks people off, and it's falsely accusing people and playing the victim. The only reason he hasn't been blocked is because he plays the victim to admins. He has the "poor me" act down to a science. --CFIF (talk to me) 14:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I just left you a note to let you know I had removed your text, because (1) it was a personal attack (2) I saw it and (3) I'm an admin so I'm supposed to...you know...make sure people work within policy. Syrthiss 12:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
(addendum) I know its frustrating dealing with problem editors. Try not to let it upset you. :) Syrthiss 12:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Coolkatt's probably gonna self-implode before his pending ArbCom case is complete. --CFIF (talk to me) 12:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
CFIF, you're right. If he'd made a comment like yours, he would not have been warned. Because he would have been blocked immediately, without warning. In fact, when CoolKatt last made a statement comparable with some of the minor comments you and Rollosmokes have made, he was blocked for it — for one week. I know, because I blocked him.
Now, we all appreciate that dealing with CoolKatt is not always pleasant. We really do. We're doing our best to keep him in line; the least you could do is meet us halfway here, and let us do our jobs; your continued personal attacks are only excacerbating the situation. The policy against personal attacks did not, last time I checked, contain the phrase "except when talking to CoolKatt". Please pull your head in. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 13:18, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I am just easily provoked and he feeds off of that. --CFIF (talk to me) 13:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
  • It looks like I am the latest to incur the wrath of this user, being accused of being a vandal and a sockpuppet of Buckner 1986. I placed him Wikipedia:Requests for investigation, ironically right on top of his request for Buckner 1986. From what I have read the system is not working with regard to CoolKatt number 99999 and he seems to know how to abuse it. He is really acting like a troll and needs to be stopped.

[edit] RE: RfA

Generally, I'm mostly undecided -- at this moment, though, I don't feel quite ready yet. So, for now, I will reject this nomination. Maybe in a few months, though. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 13:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] response to talk page message

Yeah, it was. Am I wrong? -- Chris Ccool2ax contrib. 22:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I was just wondering, because I thought it might be someone trying to impersonate you....just trying to help. --CFIF (talk to me) 22:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for watching out for me though. Good luck convincing ArbCom... I don't particularly think CoolKatt is a worthy editor either. -- Chris Ccool2ax contrib. 22:17, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] my RfA

Thanks for your opinions on my RfA. With a final vote of (62/0/1), my RfA passed, and I am now an Administrator. I will work hard to ensure that the tools entrusted to me will not be abused, and will wield my mop proudly.
Happy editing! --Firsfron of Ronchester 22:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] WIS Article

I'm curious...was your "vandalism" rv on WIS aimed at my additions about WMBF? The information was supported even by a link to an FCC construction permit for the station, by WIS owner Raycom. I can understand if the information was removed because the rest was speculation (i.e. not knowing if WMBF would become an NBC affiliate for Myrtle Beach/Florence, even though it appears that's going to be the case). But it's not vandalism...and IMHO, it's very germaine to the discussion of the Grand Strand's carriage of Columbia-based WIS. 69.168.179.150 01:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

You removed a lot of information from the article. --CFIF (talk to me) 02:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I did? I honestly did not intend on doing so...my sole purpose was to add the WMBF stuff. If I did, thanks for restoring it. I'll hold off on the WMBF stuff until I find a news article or announcement about it. 69.168.179.150 02:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I looked again, and you're right, somehow a lot of the stuff at the bottom of the article was removed in my edit. It was not intentional - and clearly an error, as the edit cuts off in the middle of a word for no apparent reason. Maybe it's that Firefox/Google Toolbar bug mentioned when you edit a long article here...I use both. Here's more on that bug. [6] It appears that the latest Google Toolbar - which I have - may have fixed the bug. It updated after I posted the edit in question. But again, thanks for catching it and restoring it! 69.168.179.150 02:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


Okay. Usually IP's do a bulk of the vandalism. thanks. --CFIF (talk to me) 02:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you should create an account. --CFIF (talk to me) 02:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting my redirects

Hey, I redirected the anchor articles (like Angela Russell) in good faith. During the AFD discussions, this was written:

Just redirect each article to the place where you merged them. You don't need
AfD's help to do that,  mate. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 13:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

And also:

I would appreciate if some of the people who took part in merging this content
would replace the individual articles with redirects to the appropriate parent
articles. Cheers, fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 23:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Sincerely, JianLi 16:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for the sockpuppet notice, but there was no discussion on a redirect. --CFIF (talk to me) 16:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Oops, I wasn't finished writing what I wrote above. I've changed it slightly. Redirects were mentioned during the course of the AFD discussion by "fuddlemark".JianLi 16:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
The decision though, was to keep the articles, not merge. I frankly don't care what he says, it's what the community says as a whole and it was to keep the articles, not move them, not redirect them. --CFIF (talk to me) 16:36, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
All right. It's your choice. I just wanted to show you I did this in good faith. JianLi 16:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
