[edit] United States article nomination

I still would like a response or offer a clearer explanation for your objection to the nomination. --Ryz05 t 02:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I still would like a response as to what you think. Thank you.--Ryz05 t 17:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I still would like a response or a change of vote. Thank you.--Ryz05 t 23:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
The thing is that some are objecting because of the size while others object because of its comprehensiveness, so it is unfair either way. Also, just about every article (especially that on a popular topic) is vandalized. Finally, citations are important as references. I ask you to reconsider your vote. Thank you.--Ryz05 t 23:21, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My userpage

You can't tell, that's the point. It's a practical joke. Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 01:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rapunzel Unbraided

If it stops people dumping other articles that are just as speculative (if not more) and pointing to this as valid precedent for inclusion, despite the patent policy failings. 81.104.165.184 13:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 270

Say, Georgia guy, do you have an opinion on 270? Anton Mravcek 22:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism is a strong word...

...so don't use it lightly. In this case, I think the anonymous contributor had simply been taught si instead of ti (I've heard it both ways), so we shouldn't call it "vandalism" or assume any malicious intent. —Keenan Pepper 22:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

As I have pointed out, repeatedly, and will continue to do so, this user has a long history of calling ANY edit that he either does not understand or does not agree with vandalism. But, he's also very dilligent with correcting *actual* vandalism. But it does give one the appearance of crying wolf. Zero sharp 18:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moscow Metro edit war

And what exactly does it mean, if I may ask? I mean we have already had a poll, with pretty clear results. Sorry if I'm answering your message in a wrong way or in a wrong place —Sascha. 19:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Answer to your question on Talk:English_language

No, I don't think so.... Glad you haven't given up yet! Cultural Freedom talk 07:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] olympics

They sent my yacht club (the brigantine yacht club) a letter saying that.

[edit] D-flat Minor

No I can't unfortunately (I am not an expert in this area) which is why I suggested that such information be added to the article. But it must logically exist and this seems to confirm that it is at least recognized by people who know more than I do.

Looking on Google, music does exist in this key, for example: [2] and there is at least one Rachmaninov piano concerto [3]. Gwernol 18:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

(Very sorry about dropping that on your user page by accident. Mea culpa. Gwernol 18:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] List of Disney theatrical animated features

Yeah, some people are just oblivious, either accidentally or deliberately. If that anon makes that edit again, I'll probably semi-protect the article. —tregoweth (talk) 21:59, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Template

I am temporarily adding a yet nonexistent template because I want to add the colors to the template that use that template. The template {{Shades of brown}} will be installed shortly after I copy the colors into it. Otherwise, I would have to go to each page, get the color, go back to the template and insert the color, finish and save the template, then go back to all the pages I just visited and re-edit them to add the link to the template. I might miss one of them the other way. This would seem to be more efficient. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 21:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox_Color

Changing the spelling from 'color' to 'colour' is not "Vandalism".

see Wikipedia:Vandalism#What_vandalism_is_not: "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Apparent bad-faith edits that do not make their bad-faith nature inarguably explicit are not considered vandalism at Wikipedia. For example, adding an opinion once is not vandalism — it's just not helpful, and should be removed or restated." Zero sharp 22:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

 I just put the link on the 5th PBS ident to prove acurracy. But I apologise if I inconvenienced you

in any way, shape or form. Thank you.

[edit] Moscow Metro

Um, that's not really ridiculous, because it's his own table. If he doesn't support his own table then I take it back.lensovet 21:45, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Valeria Novodvorskaya

The person in question is explained in article. It is an iconic image presentely used to show a behaivoural trend. Like one user we know of. --Kuban Cossack 00:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning messages

Hey, nice work warning the vandal Pido1337, you might want to use the templates listed at WP:VAND instead though. Keep up the good work.--Andeh 18:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Intent of creator of category

Found it: "BTW It's supposed to be a parent to two subcategories, not actually listing articles. -- User:Docu" from Category talk:Women --Usgnus 23:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Just want you know that I respect your position on this matter even though I disagree. --Usgnus 02:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification of Stance on Moscow Metro

Can you please clarify your stance on the Moscow Metro table fiasco? Please indicate your support for either Table 1 or Table 2 (or indifference for which table goes in the article) by commenting in the vote section of Talk:Moscow Metro#Final poll. -- joturner 13:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Mediation for Moscow Metro

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Moscow Metro, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.-- joturner 05:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2016 Summer Olympics

Well, this article is need of some cleanup. All speculations must be cited to avoid pages with WP:OR and to ensure WP:V. See WP:CITE. Ian Manka Talk to me! 17:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peta and exa

I read your comments about peta and exa on [Talk SI prefix]. I was fascinated by the explanation, but I couldn't link it with the prefixes! Please enlighten me. The comments post-date your Goodbye message. Does this mean you're back? You can email me, if you like, here --King Hildebrand 14:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop using the word vandalism!

Calling all changes for vandalism just because you don't agree with them is NOT the way to explain why you reverts edits. May I suggest that you actually learn what vandalism actually means before you use the word? Rhynchosaur 00:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re block

Hi Gg. Thanks for the note. I know but i think he's just "drunk" as he got some sane contributions! ;) If he comes back i'll not be this kind. If you notice something after his comming back, please let me know. -- Szvest 01:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 5 (number) and Five (TV)

Hi. Thanks for your note of several months ago on Talk:Five (TV) pointing out that it was the subject of a copy-and-paste page move. I have shifted the offending revisions to their rightful place in the history of Five (TV). It is important - for licensing and moral reasons - to ensure we continue to give full attribution for all edits made to our articles. :) - Mark 14:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Artwp's vandalism

The script I use for reverting vandalism was going a little wonky, though its now fixed. If you're curious exactly whom I was reverted, the wikilink on $2 went to the correct location. Kevin_b_er 03:00, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Disney theatrical animated features

Yeah, that was pointless - my apologies for starting to 'fix up' a vandalized version of the article. I should have looked at the edit history first. :) Kuru talk 22:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green (edit glitch?)

Hey Georgia guy, if you look at your contributions and find an edit to Green that you don't remember making, it was probably me. I have no idea why the wiki software put your name on the edit instead of mine. I tried a test edit after that and it used my name as usual. I guess it was a glitch of some sort—spooky! Michael Geary 21:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bowser

Seeing as the Bowser page has been moved to King Bowser and there is a requested move under discussion, don't you think the current page should redirect to Bowser (disambiguation) until such time as concensus has been reached? Yomanganitalk 00:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I assume whoever moved it in the first place will disagree. I've no stake in it, just fixed it from being blank. Yomanganitalk 01:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fish

Howdy, I saw your note in the Fish article. I was (at least if my memory serves me) the one who added the word "most" to describe fish. Specifically at issue are Lamiform sharks and some species of Tuna (I know less about the latter) which have the ability to raise their body temp above that of the water. At my fingertips (although not necessarily the best reference on the subject), see Goldman, Anderson, Latour, and Musick. 2004. Homeothermy in adult salmon sharks, Lamna ditropis. Environmental Biology of Fishes 71: 403-411. I can look around for a more general review if you'd like. --TeaDrinker 01:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bowser (2)

I actually supported that straw poll/consensus gathering excercise on the talk page. Anyway, when I made this edit, I figured that there must have been a good reason to move Bowser to King Bowser, so I re-redirected that page to the disambiguation. And it was useless having Bowser redirecting to King Bowser anyway, as I stated in the edit summary. -- Steel 08:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bowser

Please provide evidence to substantiate your claim that the Nintendo is the most common usage of bowser. Note that two entire countries use this as their term for gas pump, so you are going to have to provide some pretty large numbers of Nintendo users outside of those countries who play the Mario games and remember the name of the Bowser character. Don't forget to cite from a reliable secondary source. If you revert again without providing this evidence you may be blocked for disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. Just zis Guy you know? 17:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oops

Sorry about that :) - Glen 14:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR on T

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. Naconkantari 23:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Stay cool. I agree that something ugly is going on with this page but don't overreact. This is good advice in general: No matter how badly a page is edited today, it can always be fixed tomorrow.
See if you can't find a few other editors who have been active on this page in the past; talk it over with them. If one editor opposes all of you together and insists on distorting the page to ridiculous lengths, an RfC may be required. If on the other hand, most of the other editors side with the ridiculously long page, then maybe you and I are wrong and it's just time to move on. Okay? John Reid 09:52, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your reporting me on the 3RR noticeboard without any real violation and placing dead links that look like reversion diffs.

You just reported me on the 3RR Noticeboard, even though I didn't make more than three reverts. You did violate the 3RR, though. You also placed dummy links that look like reversion ones. This is pretty serious stuff.--Macaw 54 23:45, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

The third is certainly a revert. The first was a reversion of my edits to the pronunciation section. Your framing of me certainly warrants a blocking, in my opinion. Perhaps I should post on WP:AN/I?--Macaw 54 23:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] False accusation of vandalism

I was not engaging in vandalism and I resent the accusation. Vandalism would be adding profanity, nonsense or other graffiti to the page. I was making an editorial change on the grounds that it is ludicrous for Wikipedia to treat the American Georgia on equal terms with the country. You might disagree with it, but it wasn't vandalism. 86.134.211.242 17:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Difference between pool and billiards

As a matter of fact, I was just working on the lead to the that article, which should make the distinction clear.--Fuhghettaboutit 01:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested change in redirect for IPA from International Phonetic Alphabet to IPA (disambiguation)

Please comment. --Karnesky 15:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chamblee

Stop calling other's people's edits Vandalism. Do you even live in Chamblee, GA? Probably not, so stop editing the page. Also, wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, which means the information posted on the pages needs to backed up elsewhere.

So stop adding inaccurate information to the Chamblee, GA page and don't simply blow away other's people's changes!

[edit] T (disambiguation)

Sorry about that, for some reason the word 'disambiguation' just didn't occur to me. Thanks for moving it to the correct name. -- ArglebargleIV 22:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grade skips

Mentioning grade skips was to prove a point, though it's not entirely irrelevant. Presumably grade skips are less common than grade repeats, for whatever reason. The anon argued in his summaries that "let's be neutral here", which "we" already were sufficiently IMO. But if we're really being "neutral", as in "including all possible ages", we ought to consider advanced students too, shouldn't we? If I have time I'll see what can be dug up. - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 20:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I realize the school years articles aren't great bastions of verifiability, but what was your source for the "as old as 21" in Twelfth grade? - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 20:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Features new to Windows Vista

I've reverted your deletion of a large chunk of text from this article. Please review Wikipedia:Summary style and Wikipedia:Article size for proper guidance on how to split out sections into a separate article. In this particular case, I request that you discuss changes of this nature on the talk page. The group of us that work on Windows-related articles are very aware that the length of the article is beyond Wikipedia's normal article length, but the sheer amount of information that needs to be communicated warrants careful consideration as to how it should be done. Thanks. -/- Warren 03:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help requested

Hi

I'm writing to you - and others - because you are one of several people who appears to have experienced the same thing as I have noticed and experienced.

Namely a pattern of vandalism by an anonymous user. The IP # is 66.229.10.64

See this user's talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:66.229.10.64

This user has been temporarily blocked several times. I notice that the pattern is the same.

The person doesn't seem to respond to polite community requests to engage in dialogue - or to desist from repeatedly making edits that several editors consider to be vandalism.

I am not that experienced in these matters but can there be an attempt made to block this user permanently? Or at least for a period of time so that the person gets a message about respecting the community. Thanks. Davidpatrick 03:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Office green

The title for the color office green is too long to link it directly from the shades of green template, but the link goes to the article on green, and office green (the original web color green) is one of the colors displayed in the article on green and it is indicated in the title page. Keraunos 18:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My answer to your question on Ageing

Hi GeorgiaGuy, I have read your question on the "Discussion" page heading the article on ageing. I have put my reply in the page's "Discussion" section. I hope to be able to give the full references to the articles by Rowe and Kahn (one in "Science" and one in "The Gerontologist") by the end of next week (week beginning 30 October 30 2006). I hope that my reply answers your question. ACEO 18:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC) I have now added the above references at the end of the article on ageing. ACEO 18:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Security and safety features new to Windows Vista

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Security and safety features new to Windows Vista, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Security and safety features new to Windows Vista. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Themodernizer (talk • contribs) 01:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] RE: Fake administrator

I am not a fake administrator. I stated my reason on the discussion page. Who is Keith Tyler? I don't know this person. Why did you mentioned this person? Tell me who he is. What did I do that made you think that I was a fake administrator? I wrote the reason for reverting it in the discussion page...here's my reason..

We should keep this article neutral. This article is not about the United States. There are other countries too. 6th grade or 8th grade is either the final year of elementary school. It says so in my dictionary. 5th grade can be the final year...but it's not always. Saying 6th grade is a part of secondary school sounds more neutral than saying it is part of middle school. middle school means junior high school too. so which one should we take? It's better if we say secondary school. But we can all agree that 6th grade is a part of secondary school to many nations.

Junior high school is a school usually including grades seven and eight, and sometimes six or nine; any school intermediate between elementary school and senior high school. (209.177.21.6 - Talk)

Actually, middle school and junior high school are technically two different things. - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 22:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hm. Blocked the latest sock, User:Internet 444 -- has this problem spilled onto any other pages, that you know of? – Luna Santin (talk) 01:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Depending on the situation, different tools may be more appropriate than others; without going into too much detail, common options include blocks, page protection, and checkuser. If this problem is isolated to one page or a few pages, protection is usually sufficient. I've only just become aware of this incident, don't have too much knowledge on what's going on, just yet, other than we have somebody using socks. ;) – Luna Santin (talk) 01:43, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Gender-neutral language

I don't really have any strong feelings about gender-neutral language. I generally try to phrase things to avoid potentially ambiguous pronouns, but have no qualms about using an indefinite "he". I don't find edits that purely aim for gender-neutral language to be necessary, but as long as they don't make things worse, it doesn't really matter.

In the case of the multiple choice edit, it broke the second paragraph ("The responses are independent of the taker's ability to be clearly with language or handwriting."), and a quick revert was as good of an option as fixing it up. --Xanzzibar 07:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nonagon/Enneagon: Whatever

I dont really mind which one it is. At the time this account was created, I used the term 'nonagon'. The fact is, I still use the term 'nonagon'. If you can convince me that there is a good reason to change from Nonagon to Enneagon (I think Nonagon sounds so much better, as well), I might start using it more often, but in interim, I will stick with nonagon.

[edit] Super Mario Bros. 4 redirect

You might already know this, but... the most recent change to the redirect was made by User:Superjustinbros. who is the same as 24.184.46.20. As you can see, his talk page is a glorious and inspiring collection of barnstars and praise (not that mine is any better).

I think instead of a sentence at the bottom of the article the armadillo hack should be under external links, but I'm too lazy to actually find it.

[edit] Ford

First, did you check to see how long the readable prose is? See Wikipedia:Article size#What is and is not included as "readable prose" - I'll take a look at the Ford article and see how long it really is by thise standards. You may be right, but really a discussion among the the editors on Talk about what can comfortably be forked off into another piece is a good idea before doing it.Tvoz |talk 23:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi again... I checked the readable prose, and it's about 48K which is only a bit linger than the guidelines, and the guidelines are only that. As I said on the article's talk page, since the subject is deceased, it isn't likely that the article is going to get bigger, so I am inclined to leave it intact. Let's see if others weigh in.

I saw one Sesame Street episode from 1993, and it had the 1989 PBS ident. Would you mind reverting your edits to the previous user's? --Jonghyunchung 20:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Million

Hi... You reverted my removal of a list of numbers that are not the number 1,000,000 from the million article. Rather than removing it again I would rather discuss this first on the article talk page so that other people can contribute. Thanks. Remy B 15:13, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Color controversy

I notice you seem to be very knowledgeable about color. In the past six months I have written many dozens of articles on color for the Wikipedia. I got the idea to write my first article, which is now my longest article, rose, beginning last September from a comment you made on a discussion page, when you mentioned that it was the opposite of Spring green. Since then, I have written or expanded dozens of Wikipedia articles on color. I was wondering if you could do me a favor? You seem like you like colors so could you do me the favor of going to the discussion page of the violet article and voting under the heading "Which Way Forward" that you favor keeping the "Shades of violet color comparison chart" (if that is your preference)? I am trying to keep the articles colorful and interesting and some of these other people keep wanting to delete a lot of the information and make the articles dull and uninteresting. I would appreciate it very much. Best wishes, Keraunos 11:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WUBL

(x-posted from my talk page) I'm not saying there aren't any other uses for "WUBL," which is far from my belief. Naming convention states that if there are no other articles named "WUBL", this station should be located at WUBL. If other articles exist, WUBL should be a dab page, and the article should be located at WUBL (FM) (the naming convention for stations that can't be located at their callsign, but have no suffix), not at WUBL-FM. JPG-GR 22:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I have moved the article to WUBL (FM). Feel free to proceed and make a dab page at WUBL now. Thanks. JPG-GR 22:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Ironically, nearly all the results of a Google search are references to this station. If a dab article isn't created at WUBL in the next few days, this set of moves may be reverted. JPG-GR 22:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Billion pool

When exactly is the time for a pool for more than ten million articles? I'm new here, hence not very familiar with that stuff. I just thought that it should be created by analogy with the similar million pool. Astroguy2 23:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

What's a sockpuppet? I don't know the user who started the pool previously. Astroguy2 23:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quit stalking me

Stalking other users is not the best thing to do. Please try to improve this encyclopedia rather than stalking users. Astroguy2 23:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Junior high school

Perhaps you would like to discuss your reasoning as to why you think that middle school should have a separate article on the junior high school talk page. Why are you talking about me behind my back? Why don't you just talk to me? (MrsMacMan 02:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] My Bot

I am aware of that problem, and it was dealt with at another thread near the top of my talk page. I thought all brken pages had been fixed - sorry if this was not the case. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 22:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago/Chicago, Illinois

I admit that I personally haven't moved any of these articles until I moved Chicago to Chicago, Illinois, but if you look at other cities (with the exception of New York City, but that's an exception due to the unusual case of the city and state being the same name. It looks abnormal for an article to be titled "New York, New York.") you will see that almost all cities are moved to "city, state" format. Prime examples include Los Angeles, California, Dallas, Texas, Seattle, Washington, and Boston, Massachusetts. The reason for this is because of disambiguation; pages like Boston and Dallas have disambiguation pages. Chicago also has a disambiguation page, so moving the page to Chicago, Illinois format helps to distinguish Chicago (city) from Chicago (band), Chicago (typeface), and Chicago (poker game). Additionally, with the exception of NYC, I haven't seen many other articles who are currently titled just the City, and all the others in the past that have had that format have been moved to the new format because of disambiguation. When I moved the article, the basis for doing that was because, with the exception of a select few articles, all the others have recently been moved to this new format to avoid disambiguation further. ––Ksy92003(talk) 17:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure how that would work... I personally think Chicago should contain the disambiguation links, but I don't want to do anything myself because I know Chicago is linked to by a lot of other articles, and it would be too disruptive to change that. So because of that, I think it would be best to re-direct Chicago to Chicago, Illinois and say "'Chicago' redirects here. For other uses, see Chicago (disambiguation)." That's what I would do, but again, too many pages link to Chicago for me to want to take a risk of it going to the wrong page. I suppose you can just move it back, if you think that'd be best. ––Ksy92003(talk) 18:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Items

You're missing the point. Do you have an actual reason to want to keep this? If you do, please state it. Relying on "Discussion is needed" or anything like that is not a valid reason to keep an article. The fact that two people felt it was necessary also doesn't mean that the article needs to be kept. It cannot pass the fiction guidelines, and it belongs in the main article. TTN 21:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Most of the time, discussions on articles like these will not receive a response. I only bother when I expect to be reverted or there are active editors working on it constantly. That is why I would like you to provide an actual reason. It is perfectly fine for you to want to keep the article; that is when the discussion can start. But that cannot happen if you provide roundabout reasons like that (because reverting solely on the reason to have a discussion doesn't work). So in short, if you actually want to keep it, provide an argument or just a statement as to why it should stay, and it can be discussed. TTN 21:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
LuigiManiac seems to be a infrequent editor, so holding an article just to wait for his opinion is rather pointless (plus, people have no connection to the articles that they create (WP:OWN)). At this point, you're the one that needs to provide an actual reason. I'll happily discuss with LuigiManiac if he desires in the future. TTN 21:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PBS idents: We do not censor

I have put the first two logos back where they are -- removal of logos just because they scare someone is censorship (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedians against censorship). Please understand this -- the next time someone removes a logo on account of scaring, they will be officially warned; if they persist, they will be blocked. Knowing what Nate Speed did in other articles, I wouldn't take stock in what he says. -- azumanga 23:48, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 09:38, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Please reply 2 my questions on my talk page. --Mr. Comedian 00:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Im not vandilazing it

A pre-teen is aged 10-12. Not 8-12. Think of all the stuff on that article. Like knowing about sex. An 8-year-old doesn't need to know about that stuff. And about knowing what kind of jobs they want to get when they grow up. Normally a kid won't do that untill they are 11 or something. Man, a pre-teen is 10-12, not 8-12. --Mr. Comedian 22:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC) happy now! --Mr. Comedian 22:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Hey, man. I'm sorry for getting all ticked at you. But I just got a question. Everyone I know personally says that a pre-teen is aged 10-12. Some even say 11-12. What makes you say that it's 8-12? --Mr. Comedian 20:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

OK. What does Afd stand for and to keep who up to what point? And I'm very curious on why you consider a pre-teen to be 8-12. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Comedian (talk • contribs) 20:52, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

OK. But please tell me why you say that a pre-teen starts at age 8. --Mr. Comedian 20:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry, honest. I would never intend to make people feel nervous, I'm very sorry. I call myself "Mr. Comedian" because I want to star on a sitcom that I made up when I grow up. I also want to make a sitcom based on my childhood when I grow up. I can also be funny at points, but they only seem to amuse kids. It's like, stupid humor. And I saw that page about my article for deletion. I was never really sure if it was 18 or 21 were you become an adult. But I love being a kid so I always did 21. I will always do under 18 as kids from now on, promise. --Mr. Comedian 21:12, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I still want to know why you say that 8 and 9 are pre-teens. I never heard of it before. I don't mean to make you nervous. I'm just very curious. --Mr. Comedian 21:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

Just so you know. I looked over that middle childhood on Afd thing. I am from the United States. The thing is that I'm just a kid, I thought it was 21 as the legal age. I'm not the only high-schooler that thinks(or for me: thought) that the legal age for adulthood was 21. Just so you know. --Mr. Comedian 22:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] KSI (Clan)

The article KSI (Clan) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 22:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry -- no problem. NawlinWiki 23:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of centenarians

Yes, size is definitely going to be an issue with this page. For #9, I think one picture in the top right would be sufficient, though I don't know who/what to use for it. For #5, I think one short paragraph would be sufficient. 1-2 sentences discussing what a centenarian is, 1-2 sentences discussing our inclusion criteria and 1-2 sentences describing the technical aspects of the list (how it's divided, what it means to have a bolded/italicized name etc.) should be sufficient.

The bigger issue is with the references. Even referencing properly two of the smaller sections, the size significantly increased. I imagine that it'll be around 200 KB if we properly reference all the entries. I'm not certain what to do about it really... maybe split it into different pages, but I can't think of any non-arbitrary way to split up the names. I was hoping to get this to FL status eventually, but I'm not sure that would happen if the page was that large. Cheers, CP 18:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About Maria Diaz Cortes

Dear friend: actually, she's sort of a hindrance, because Maria is living in sub-human conditions in a decayed area. But as far as I know, she owns a valid ID card stating her birthdate is Jan 4, 1892. Spanish ID cards are compulsorily created out of civil birth documents. There have been several confirmations of such a fact in credible Spanish media, but I don't know how to further confirm it. MaeseLeon (talk) 22:00, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] America more important than the rest of us?

What is your basis for this most common use of NFL malarky? It's more popular in America of course but it is totally subjective to say the American use of NFL is the most common use of the term worldwide. Saying wikipedia has more links to NFL America is not adequate. The fact that NFL already links directly to the US NFL should suffice. No need to re emphasise your claim.--Play Brian Moore (talk) 20:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

That's because the NFL page was set up containing info on the American version first. Your most commonly tag is totally ridiculous. It's completely subjective. The term might most commonly mean NFL in the US but that doesn't mean it's the most common usage of the term. Why saying NFL most commonly refers to America is so important is not clear at all. My edit was perfectly fair in my opinion. Give my objective reasons as to why it wasn't? --Play Brian Moore (talk) 22:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Our friend Mr. Barnett

Hey, it would be HUGELY helpful if you posted templated warnings on Bjbarnett2's talkpage whenever he does one of his infernal Galaxy edits. I've got my finger on the REPORT trigger for AIV, but he has to go through the whole freakin' series of "Hi, please don't do that"/"Really, please stop"/ "I mean it, you're not playing nice"/"Seriously, we honestly, truly, really mean it--if you don't stop doing the EXACT SAME THING we've told you not to do FOUR TIMES NOW, we'll do something about it" warnings. Urgh. Vandal = vandal, you know??? I know, I know--AGF. But how much GF are we supposed to A? Anyhow: Templated warnings, please, so we'll have some grounds to get rid of him.Gladys J Cortez 19:08, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quadrocasts

You left a note on the discussion page of trimulcast. They are actually refered to as quadrocasts, not quadrimulcasts. There was 107.1 in New York, it consisted of what today is WLIR, WWYY, WWZY, and WXPK. It was owned by Big City Radio and aired a Country music format. It looks like they're going to delete my article on trimulcast, it sucks, but oh well, I'm used to the admins destroying my work. Whammy (talk) 22:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Margaret (Madge) Russell

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Margaret (Madge) Russell, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Margaret (Madge) Russell.

[edit] re: your recent change to Template:Afd top

Can't we just deal with that kind of change to the page through common sense? Do we really have to spell out every possible exception like that? I am concerned that we are making our already serious problem with instruction creep worse.

If we do stick with that change, we need to clarify the clause with a link to the help page on changing your username. Otherwise, we risk 1) confusing new users who have never heard of a user changing their signature or 2) suggesting a new form of vandalism to someone who wouldn't otherwise have thought of messing with the signatures.

[edit] Looking for Wikipedians for a User Study

Hello. I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are conducting research on ways to engage content experts on Wikipedia. Previously, Wikipedia started the Adopt-a-User program to allow new users to get to know seasoned Wikipedia editors. We are interested in learning more about how this type of relationship works. Based on your editing record on Wikipedia, we thought you might be interested in participating. If chosen to participate, you will be compensated for your time. We estimate that most participants will spend an hour (over two weeks on your own time and from your own computer) on the study. To learn more or to sign up contact KATPA at CS dot UMN dot EDU or User:KatherinePanciera/WPMentoring. Thanks. KatherinePanciera (talk) 02:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
