[edit] To Eclectek (or, a fun, kinky, and middingly creative respelling of a tritely overused descriptor)
Hey thanks for that. I had never seen a human vagina before. Unlike User:LuckyPanda, I am not friends with this user (or am I?), thus I find it wholly bizarre when he "vandalizes" my page. J. Charles Taylor
- "Tritely overused" is a redundant phrase, bitch. LuckyPanda 06:46, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- Touche, bitch. J. Charles Taylor 07:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hello Wiki Friends
Thanks for dropping me a note. I hope I haven't done something horrible to offend you. I cower under your might!
[edit] Vandalism of User:LuckyPanda
This message is regarding the page User:LuckyPanda. Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. Thanks. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 23:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for refering me to the welcome page. It was very helpful (see sarcasm). I shall explain. My page (User:Eclectek) was vandalized by Lucky Panda. You would know this if you were to check the history on User:Eclectek. We were joking with each other. Me/Eclectek/Chad = "real life friend" of Lucky Panda! I left a warning against vandalism on Lucky Panda's discussion page and have since deleted it, as it was all a laughing matter. I'm glad my test worked to prove that you are not ready to be an admin. Thanks. Chad 02:33, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Chad, I would like to apologize for calling your edits vandalism as that is what they appeared to be. I understand that it was all good fun. I did not realize that you in fact go to Jesuit and are on the yearbook/newspaper staff. If I had looked at your user page and realized who you were (I know who you are) then I wouldn't have bothered leavng you the message and everything,and would have just let you guys sort it out yourselves. Although it was just good fun, vandalizing each other's user pages probably isn't realy the best idea because it could be mistaken as real vandalism. By the way, Chad, I do not think I am ready to be an admin. Again I apologize for my mistake, but vandalism is no laughing matter. Looking at your contributions,I would just like to say that you have done a very fine job improving the Jesuit article and I hope you keep up the good work. Have a nice day! Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 21:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Dustimagic and I, Chad/Eclectek have resolved this matter. Chad 01:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm glad this is resolved. I wish you best of luck as well on both Wikipedia and for college admissions. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 03:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blocking Jesuit IP
I would like it blocked myself; however, when the Jesuit IP is blocked we can't edit either even when we are logged on if we are using the Jesuit connection. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 13:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
I might be wrong but I think User: Polanco is behind a lot of the vandalism coming from the Jesuit IP. I know he was joking around on my user page, but I still do not appreciate his unconstructive "anonymous" edits. Polanco's vandalism: 1 and 2 (notice the one quote where he wrote his name using the Jesuit IP). Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 23:28, 18 January 2006 (UTC)- I sent the following remarks to User: Polanco (Note: If you know who is behind this please tell them to stop):
-
- I did not do the vandalism on your user page nor did you do the vandalism on mine as is obvious by what has happened to our pages. I'm not sure who is behind these acts but I know it is not either you or me. Who ever is doing this is in a sense a "double vandal" as they are not only vandalizing user pages, but then also writing other people's names with the vandalism. The only thing we can do is remain calm, and not get into a blame game. Again, I apologize for saying you did the vandalism as it said your name, but it said your name next to the quotes. I promise I did not vandalize your user page and sign it because that would be just plain stupid. Please also note that I was not at school on Thursday or Friday of this week when the vandalism occured, therefore I could not be using the Jesuit IP to do such actions. --Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 18:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jesuit Dallas Museum
Hey, I noticed you were on! Good work with the Jesuit Dallas Museum its been needing to be cleaned up/reworded for a while. Cheers! Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 19:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] JCP2 is here!
At last after much request JCP2 has been created. If you don't know JCP2, is a special project dedicated to the development of the article into a featured article. JCP2 is not a WikiProject but rather a unique place to discuss and plan out the development and collaboration on the Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas article. JCP2 is an effort to move beyond the Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas talk page and create a forum for improvement and growth of the article. Please add you name to the list of participants on the project page. Thanks and I look forward to your help and hard work. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 23:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UA userbox deletion
I motioned to delete it as per what had been discussed by LuckyPanda and I. Listen, I have no problem with the userbox except that I have some doubts that it will be adopted by UA students. It would have been best to have created this userbox like the Jesuit one. That is, after a group of editors from the school has been established. If you wish to keep it then vote for it to be kept. The good news for you is that I think no consensus or a keep vote will probably be reached on the template as many voted on the false knowledge that it had only been around for a week rather than over a month. Thanks. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 22:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] White Rock photo
Hey, where exactly is the photo you're talking about at Talk:White Rock Lake?
By the way, White Rock Lake happens to be the article we're "cleaning" this week over at WikiProject Dallas cleanup department. Thanks for the help! drumguy8800 C T 23:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ooos... looks like my edit didn't save. I fixed it, re-added the photo. Chad 00:19, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey I got a reprimand a few minutes ago about Flickr images. First, you need to use {{cc-by-2.0}} instead of {{cc-by-2.5}}, you need to link to the actual image and the user, and on my own request (though I'm going behind and categorizing anyway), add [[Category:Images of Dallas, Texas]] to the bottom so that they'll appear in this category. If you'd like a photo description to copy, I made the description over at Image:White Rock Lake 4.jpg up to snuff. I also went behind you and fixed your Bath House upload. anyway, thanks for all your help getting photographs up of Dallas. Are you interested in actually joining WikiProject Dallas? drumguy8800 C T 01:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- sweet. drumguy8800 C T 03:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loyola
Yeah, I'm glad theres someone help helping to make Loyola's article the best. Watch for some random vandals though, especially from anon. IP's from the library.Samwisep86 05:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mmmm, thanks...
Chad fixed something on my user page. This makes me feel half-violated, half-loved.
Thank you? --- Thesis4Eva 01:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JSEA NavBox
Hey Alansohn! Since you recently restored part of the article, I just thought I'd let you know that I moved the tnavbar on the Jesuit Secondary Education Association navbox. It now rests on the bottom right of the box so the title is centered. Tell me what you think. Eclectek C T 17:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- That's fine. Not having it there at all makes it so much harder to view the source, or make any necessary additions and corrections. As long as it's there, people should be able to find it. Alansohn 18:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Happy I could be of assistance with the beautification of this template. The "off-center" problem was one that I encountered myself and so I came up with Template:Tnavbar-header and that so far has been a decent solution. Take it easy. :-) (→Netscott) 19:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photos, Commons
Hi, I notice you've uploaded some nice original photos. Have you participated in the Wikimedia Commons yet? If not, I encourage you to do so-- photos uploaded there can be linked to not just here but in the wikipedia/wikimedia projects in other languages as well, and you can make galleries of additional images to suppliment those in articles. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 01:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Most Holy Name of Jesus Church
Hello,
Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

[edit] WHINSEC AND FOREIGN POLICY
IN RESPONSE TO YOUR POSTING WHINSEC
The school is frequently accused -> the school is frequently cited: this creates a more NPOV statement.
SOA was frequently accused but WHINSEC is not. The problem is its an article about WHINSEC and not SOA. The seperation between the two is blured so one would think that an accusation against SOA was also a legitimate accusation against WHINSEC. While you might believe the two schools are the same continuous identity they are not. If you want to be critial of the school be critical of WHINSEC and what its doing now, today, and not some ancient history about something that may or may not happened at SOA decades ago.
"While the SOA was still active over ten congressional investigations took place without any evidence of wrongdoing be uncovered": I've never heard of these investigations. If you can provide citations for this, please re-insert it into the article.
I'll ask about references to this. What would be wrong in stating that even though over 60,000 students attended classes at the school not one can be found to support the false allegations that torture techniques were ever taught. Just for the record WHINSEC has never in its entire existance ever taught interrigation techinques of any kind. Again if this resource is meant to be an up to date resource for topics as they currently stand why is decades old accusations being implicitly procliamed as current truth.
You claimed in your response that I reverted the fact that human rights training was now mandatory. I did not. As the article stands now, it says that 8 hours are required. It states that in the past, only a few took the classes as they were not required.
That's not accurate. A minimum of 8 hours are mandatory training for all students even those who only attend a two week school. The making of it to be a mandatory element was implemented when the training was developed and introduced. I actually sat with the JAG officer in his office and discussed the role and content of that training and how it was being developed.
I reverted the statement that the "quite often the mantadory 8 hours is exceeded" in human rights training. There's no evidence to support this.
Yes there is because the number of hours of mandatory human rights training is included in the course description of each class. OK so if I post those classes and the required element of each course is that satisfactory.
You said "According to a member of the Board of Visitors..." That refers to you and is original research. Original research is not allowed on wikipedia. Find an article to cite.
Why? If I write and article and get it published would you accept that. Can I post a resume somewhere which makes me a reliable witness to actual training I've personally observed and participated in. The article is only as good as its sources, writers, and the publication. You accept hearsay from SOA Watch but not first hand personal testimony from a reliable source who not only observed it but was actually participating in it. Can I introduce myself as a BOV member and testify as to what I've seen and heard?
I summarized your discussion of the invitation to visit the school to "At the SOAW vigil in November 2006, invitations were given to the public to visit the school." I'd like to see this expanded to something that explains the process of visiting, what visitors see, who they speak with, etc.
OK. I will also list the number of people who took up the invitation. Is there anyway to have a downloadable pamphlet about that process availabe on the website? The process is as simple as calling the school's number and making arrangements to come to the school. At the protest they circulate flyers and make open invitations to thsoe attending. Last year I asked SOA Watch to extend the invitation to all those they were encouraging people to come and protest and particulars. Funny though, I don't think they said anything about it.
You had speculated that students not electing to take human rights classes in the SOA may be reason that training is mandatory in WHINSEC. Wikipedia is not open to this kind of speculation, so I removed it.
I did no such speculation. The training was never available or even created until after SOA was closed. How could one not elect to take something which wasn't available?
You completely removed the section on the training manuals that advocated inhumane treatment. These documents are proven to have existed by amnesty international and the washington post. That paragraph was even cited correctly. That kind of reverting cannot be tolerated.
And what year was that and just how is that related to WHINSEC? The documents are proven to have existed. Yes. However, the documents were never reviewed nor approved by SOA and came as part of a suggested additional reading list from another school. The documents were never used as part of the SOA training ciriculum. As soon as they were brought to their attending they removed them from the additional reading list. Are these facts being made clear by the entry. Or is the suggestion that the materials were actually being used as instructional material in the classroom and wait a minute, that's about SOA, what does that have to do with WHINSEC. WHINSEC has never taught any interrogation techinques in its history and has translated every publication it uses into English and reviews each one for any possible objectionable material. Say, can this fact be included in the article?
I changed your sentance from "Each year a number of protestors are arrested for purposely violating the law and forcing their arrest in an attempt to create more anger against the school." to "Each year a number of protestors are arrested and prosecuted for acts of civil disobediance including trespassing onto federal property in an apptempt to create more awareness for the SOAW." This sentance attempts to eliminate bias.
Finally, something we can both agree on. Yes, your right it was biased. I just wish you were that careful about the rest of the article which is so very biased against the school for a lot of the same reasons.
You wrote "It is now also reported that some college professors give students credit for attending the protest." Provide citations or this cannot stay.
Again I could list the college and the professor but unless its printed up in an article somewhere you won't accept it. Right? Again, if I write an article and have it published can it be used?ChaplainSvendsen 18:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dimple
I've undone your recent edit to Dimple, as it appears that the source you provided was not the one you intended. At the time I checked it, it was about a surgical technique (with graphic photographs - thankfully I'm studying to go to med school and can stomach such things!) and did not mention dimples at all in the introductory paragraphs. Perhaps you copied the wrong URL, or perhaps URLs at the website are not always static. The information you added sounds interesting, so if you can find the actual source you'd intended to post then I hope you will re-add it. You look like a legit editor and not some troll who intentionally posted a link to potentially shocking images, so I thought I'd give you a heads up so you'd know why I undid your edit. --Icarus (Hi!) 15:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
