User talk:Pseudoanonymous

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello pseufoanonymous.

I am editing the Wiki for Dr./Dean/Professor Betsy Boze.

I see that you reverted to an earlier version that, through someone else's cutting and pasting, had been left repetitive -- literally saying the same line twice in several paragraphs.

But after I cleaned it up, you reverted to the old, repetive version. I am on her staff and am responsible for her public relations and find it better to have clear, clean text.

Thank you for not going back to old, less literate versions.

Welcome!

Hello, Pseudoanonymous, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

[edit] Third Person

How do you do, Pseudoanonymous! It is a very pleasant surprise to hear from you, since we share so much in common, from our age, native cultural heritage, to eventual comings to the Western world. I must congratulate you- like the norm, upon deciding to contribute to Wikipedia and I hope I shall see more of your excellent works very soon.

As to why I have decided to edit my userpage in third person, the main reason is that I am trying to conform to Wikipedia's NPOV policy even on this personal space, and I believe looking at myself from a third person's viewpoint will help to make the autobiography somewhat less self- flattering. It is hard to write about oneself without the certain entwinings of opinion upon userpages, so a third person's viewpoint would do very well in clearing the necessary autobiographical facts from the conceited nonsense, if anyone should be interested to read these at all, that is.

I have also done this as a way to protect myself, so I can perceive more cautiously upon what I have written and take care that I have not revealed too much personal information. It is easier to perform this scan, from my way of thinking, from the view of a supposed 'outsider' than when one is utterly wrapped up in the Narcisstic self.

A lot of it is also out of politeness' sake, for the Chinese, in situations of serious etiquette, would usually endeavour to address themselves in third person in order to avoid the blinkering of opinions.

On a last note concerning Mao, I do not believe it is quite fair to judge him as 'a good person' or 'a bad person', again stressing my view that this man is much more complex than these black/white lines and a close study of his behaviour would have yielded evidence that favoured both ways. I agree with Mr. Colipon myself in the main but I think in many respects he has been too forgiving of Mao. Sure, the reasons for Mao's behaviour is infinitely complex and his is the history of the entire Chinese people, yet nonetheless in many respects this does not remove his responsibilities of the Cultural Revolution, etc. The mere fact we should attempt to pity/understand someone thoroughly does not in anyway undermine their own guilt from the circumstances, it only attempts to find a better reason for these actions than, say, thirst for blood. It is very well said that Mao, with his wonderful military prowess, succeeded brilliantly where others failed, yet we should not either ignore the fact that his constant fear from being undermined of power made his great mind fail where others would succeed. Even Mao is supscetible to that unendurable lust of authority over man- one only has to observe his essays on the supposed 'dictatorial democracy.'

Hope this has been useful and not wasted your userspace. Luthinya 14:29, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Treason apologized?

Where? And when? The page on his says nothing about this... Weird... 68.39.174.238 11:47, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV

When submitting someone to WP:AIV, please take into account a few things; if the vandal has gotten all the warnings ({{test}} to {{test4}}) and has still vandalised. Then feel free to add him in. Also, usually it helps to add a summary as to why you are reporting the user; this makes it easier for admins. Thanks! Master of Puppets Your will is mine. 00:15, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of football (soccer)

Yeh, its ok, I see now how you misunderstood it, I've changed it a bit, as I don't know if there actually was a war going on at the time, I checked the english history article but it still wasn't clear to me, so I changed it to a war as opposed to the war, and added about training, I think it is clear what it means now, but it sounds a bit odd and not very well worded, but I cant see how to word it better, whilst retaining the meaning. If you disagree or can see a way to word it better whilst retaining the meaning. Feel free to change it again. Thanks. Philc TECI 23:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

And thanks for being so good natured about this. Philc TECI 23:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeh the war was mentioned, but no specific details were given, It just sought of said about all these battles (agincourt I guess) and things, but never really said a date, and then quickly moved on to the 1400s, and also, I'm guessing since these guys were prefering football, they probably were on home soil, as the ones in france were probably more concerned with not dieing.

[edit] Your messages to "vandalising" users

Hi, Pseudoanonymous. I've noticed you've left a few messages for IP's that have made stupid edits, using the phrase "If you like vandalising go here: Uncyclopedia Main Page". Could you consider rephrasing that line in future? Whilst Uncyclopedia thrives on nonsense and lies, we also suffer from the same kinds of destructive vandalism as Wikipedia, and your current statement doesn't appear to clarify the difference between the two. Thanks a lot. --Codeine 01:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] anonymous / pseudononymous

Hi, on your User page you have said that you would prefer to be anonymous rather than just be pseudononymous. I am interested in your reasons for this - as part of some research I am doing into anonymous contributions and whether people should place the same value on them as those that can be attributed to individuals. Sorry if you think I'm being nosy - I am just interested and won't use any answer you want to give in any way other than to develop understanding in this area. rgds rgds, ||:) johnmark† 19:32, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Well... John, the only reason I want to remain anonymous is because I don't want others to compromise my private info or hack my account or something. I suspect many other people who wishes to remain anonymous for the same reason, because they don't know who is going to be reading their personal info such as their name and address. I don't think totally anonymous are totally reliable, not to say most of them are not, but rather more likely to be bias on controversial subjects. I think they remain anonymous so you can't go to them and rebute it. However I am only pseudoanonymous, you can still criticize any edits I make; I only conceal my identity for internet privacy reasons. Pseudoanonymous 20:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Travis Barman

A tag has been placed on Travis Barman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing 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 its subject's notability under the 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. bd_ 21:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar. It's good to spread the wikilove - I try to contribute here in whatever way I can. Graham87 05:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks from me as well! I actually have over 5000 edits, and you're getting there. As a courtesy, it would be better to leave an award on one's talk page, rather than the userpage. He can do what he wants with it, and he gets it much faster! Thanks again!! Reywas92Talk 14:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks from me too, I'm just about up to 26,000 edits now! All the best... The Rambling Man 16:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
No offence whatsoever! Keep up the good work! The Rambling Man 16:44, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

  • I too certainly appreciate your kind thoughts! - KrakatoaKatie 20:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Then I'm doubly honored - thanks again! - KrakatoaKatie 20:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the barnstar. Is it intended for editors with no barnstars? Bubba73 (talk), 23:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I already had some barnstars, but I passed one along to User:Baccyak4H. I think he is the type of editor for which it is intended. Bubba73 (talk), 23:39, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Like Bubba, I already have barnstars so I'm not sure if I am eligible, but I'll happily accept yours all the same! Rockpocket 07:29, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What's going wrong?

What is going wrong here: User talk:Voorlandt where there is "\}" at the end, and the next section gets included with the barnstar? Bubba73 (talk), 03:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merci

hey thank you for the barnstar :). Paris By Night 11:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] still strange

There is still something strange. On User_talk:Voorlandt I tried to add the "congrats" as a new section below the barnstar section, but it incorporates it into the barnstar. Why is that? Bubba73 (talk), 15:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

That seems right now, thank you. I've passed out two or three of them. Bubba73 (talk), 16:56, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Typo

There is a typo in the 2500 one, the A in WikipediA is caps. Bubba73 (talk), 17:03, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the award. It was my first on WP and (like Lobelia Sackville-Baggins) I was much moved. Steve Dufour 20:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cranberry Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania

You recently reverted [1] the very appropriate deletion of nonsense content to that article. What should have been reverted was the introduction of those completely unsourced sections [2]. Please read before reverting. —AldeBaer (c) 13:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smile

Connell66 has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

And, you also spelled "Recognition wrong" it is Recoignition El-Nin09 08:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

No it is not "Recoignition". It is Recognition [3]. At least check before correcting someone.--Just James T/C 07:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

As I said to the other lad, keep them off my page. Adding back a live afd template is not vandalism, perchance you'd like to have a check of WP:VANDALISM? Red Hugh (talk) 20:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
