[edit] Nonsense

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Misty (Pokémon). It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- THL 07:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Formal Request/Notification

  • Please stop coming to us for permission as to whether or not you can post things involving religion and Pokémon in articles. I am going to repeat what I have been telling you all along; get sources or stop trying to get it in. If you have sources that support your side, be bold and add your idea to the article; if you do not have sources, leave it alone.
  • Also, do not make absurd claims like "Pokémon doesn't mention any religion in the anime (especially Christianity)." Especially Christianity? If no religions are mentioned how can one be especially not mentioned?
  • Every time from now on you add something that doesn't have a source, is completely absurd, or both, I will give you a warning. Due to the one I gave you before, you only have two times to get it wrong before you are blocked. The answer to all of your questions lies in Wikipedia policy. Read through all of the welcome you have received (again), and check the see also sections on their pages for more reading. I am not trying to be a jerk, but you have worn out your welcome. I have assumed good faith as policy dictates way longer than I should have, and way longer than I was required to. This is in spite of the fact that I never felt you were doing this in good faith. Now, you only have two times to get it wrong before you get blocked, and all of your already answered questions to me will be ignored. You have been notified. -- THL 21:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
It wasn't your response on the PCP talk page; it was the length of time this whole thing took. You can understand why I think you have just been messing with us, seeing as how absurd this whole thing sounds. I was trying to put an end to this thing once again, and I hope I have succeeded. -- THL 22:39, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

The definition of absurd.[1] -- THL 02:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

The PCP doesn't decide what does and doesn't need sources; Wikipedia decides, and it says everything must be sourced. You would have seen that if you had taken my advice and read over your welcome again </hint>. Now, I said it was absurd because if everything isn't mentioned, how can something be especially not mentioned. That doesn't make any sense at all, at all. The fact that the section is titled Christianity emphasizes your point enough. The reason your other points were not removed is because other sources on the page confirmed them. In other words, your points were sourced. Something else you should know about me; I do not have a sense of humor; never have, never will. -- THL 02:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

That guy is a moron. There are so many Sabrinas, which one were you talking about?
The gym leader in Kanto. LinkinPark 04:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Ah yes, the psychopath who turned people into dolls and refused to grant them the sweet release of death; I can see how you would compare me to her. Anyway, "When asked by the Judge were he lives, Hovind replied 'I live in the church of Jesus Christ, which is located all over the world. I have no residence.'" Wow, I must admit that one made me laugh. My God! -- THL 04:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I didn't mean to say that you were a psychopath, but in the anime, Sabrina hasn't laughed in years before she bursted out laughing when Haunter made faces at her. I thought you would understand the reference to that event when I mentioned Sabrina. LinkinPark 04:48, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I do have a sense of humor; I was just trying to make you uncomfortable by mentioning her psychopathic nature. Yes, I get what you are saying, I was thinking of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch at first. Anyway, that guy is a moron. A giant ice meteor, oooooooooooookay. How the hell did he get a PhD, even from a non-notable Christian college? That guy needs to be put down with a .45 or something, seriously. -- THL 04:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Terms fine enough for me. Cheers, The Raven's Apprentice (Talk|Contribs) 06:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Guth edits

Hey LinkinPark! I see that you have made lots of productive edits to Wikipedia. However, I think that your recent edits to the Alan Guth article were a bit silly, as I'm sure you know. Information about Guth's office probably doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. See Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. You might also be more careful adding external links, in terms of being very selective about which links are included and also formatting in the External Links section. See Wikipedia is not a web directory. Thanks for all your good work so far, and keep it up! Dave Runger(t)⁄(c) 08:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christian aheist

Hi! I am probably a Christian atheist in the same sense as she was. Calling it an "atheist" in some context is of course fine. "American Christians" is not really true, especially because I am not really American. ;-) --Lumidek 23:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Steve Sailer and Hurricane Katrina

I would LOVE to hear what you think this has to do with Hurricane Katrina. A Train take the 06:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I added it to show how a racist such a Sailer used Katrina to denigrate African-Americans.
And that is important to Hurricane Katrina because of what? Titoxd(?!?) 20:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfD

Dear editor,

Just a message to let you know that a redirect you created recently, is nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion#Charles Murray (racist) → Charles Murray (author). Regards, --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 08:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of racists, I can live with your latest wording at Jerry Coyne: implied the The Bell Curve was pseudoscientific sounds about right. Thanks for your patience! :-) --Uncle Ed 00:58, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey!

I've been watching you edits on the race and intelligence related articles and I hope that you stick around. futurebird 05:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Iqandglobalinequality.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Iqandglobalinequality.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 06:07, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy Deletion

A tag has been placed on Daigo Umehara, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Tdmg 04:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re-creating deleted content

Please do not re-create the Daigo Umehara article. This topic was deleted per discussion at AfD, and should not be re-created. The article as written also qualifies for speedy deletion as an A7 (nn-bio). Please note that repeatedly re-creating a deleted article against consensus is considered disruptive and can lead to being blocked. Thank you. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Image:Iqandglobalinequality.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Image:Iqandglobalinequality.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:01, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pro-life

You have been re-adding controversial material without consensus over at pro-life, and I am asking you to please take this matter to the talk page. Thanks.-Andrew c [talk] 11:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference?

Got a reference?

WLU 18:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

The wikipedia article on ritonavir states that is the mechanism of the drug. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LinkinPark (talk • contribs)
Unfortunately, wikipedia is not a reliable source. Ironic, eh? Medical articles are always better with sources :) WLU 23:26, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pancreatic cancer

You removed some information from pancreatic cancer without an edit summary. Given that both bits you deleted were supported by references, I could not explain why you deleted them. I have therefore reverted the deletion, and added a better reference for the statements on genetic predisposition to pancreatic cancer.

I note that on cholesterylester transfer protein, you use bare URLs to refer to news articles and medical journal papers. Could I ask you to provide references in the accepted reference format, with is {{cite journal}} for journal articles and {{cite news}} for news articles? This makes things much easier for readers, and on the CETP page follows the pattern that I started when I first wrote the page.

For journal articles there is David Iberri's template filler. Simply type the Pubmed Identifier into the box, and the tool will fill a standard template with citation data. The site happens to be down at the moment, but it is normally a very useful way of generating references. JFW | T@lk 08:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
