[edit] Leonidas I

Yes sir, I apoligize I was just testing it out. I had no idea of the "Sandbox." I love history trust me I have been getting A's in history class. I just did some more editing to Leonidas I today. I was serious this time, adding stuff I found necessary to add. Check it out and please let me know if you like it. If you would like to talk about history email me, i love history, "Williamkid123@yahoo.com"

[edit] Richard Gaiser

Why did you delete the page? All of it was true. We have had to go back and redo his page 3 times now. It is getting very frustrating. We are simply trying to add honest promotion for our band and you are deleting our pages.

[edit] UFC 84

A discussion is happening right now on the fate of UFC 84. Because the outcome of this discussion could affect other MMA event pages and how/when they are created, your input would be greatly appreciated. The discussion is happening here. Thank you for your assistance! Gromlakh (talk) 17:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Magnus Carlsen

Hello,

In this diff dating april 2005, you have added a game Carlsen-Ernst with annotations from Carlsen. However, the source is not clearly mentioned, nor the fact that Carlsen allowed this contents to be published here, and under which licence.
Could you be kind enough to clarify the source of the comments and mention an authorization and licence  ? Thank you. Mro en (talk) 17:37, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Weasel

Hi, you redirected the Weasel-inline Template to Template:Who. This caused a problem for those articles that reference the Template:Weal, which is itself a redirection to Weasel-inline. Wikipedia does not resolve the double redirection correctly. --The very model of a minor general (talk) 12:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you, and see 'ya

Belated note for you on my talk page. 69.60.114.162 (talk) 15:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] article on EU Microsoft case

[1] Corporate whitewashing? On whose part? I see no pressing need to include this aspect of reaction to the decision, but your summary confuses me. Also the section summarized the position in the sources, it wasn't editorializing. It was reportage. 86.44.6.14 (talk) 16:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Why exactly would we confine our talk on article content to article talk pages? 86.44.6.14 (talk) 04:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Right to vanish request (feedback)

I don't mean to disrespect all of the work you've done for wikipedia. But, I want to tell you that the language and tone you chose here really pissed me off. I know that may not have been your intention, but here are some things that bothered me.

You said: "It looks like your user talk page was protected because you continued to post unblock templates despite your unblock requests being declined multiple times."

I looked, but could never find any documentation that said using the unblock template three times was considered abuse, but I could have easily missed it -- it would have been nice to cite if it's out there. I was using it in good faith each time, and I all ready the reason given for protecting the page was that I had "abused" it.

You said: "Blocks and page protections are not punitive."

That doesn't prevent them from being used in a way that is punitive. I haven't been around wikipedia as long as other editors, but I've seen a lot of politics and questionable uses of authority.

You said: "It would be wise to look at the history of your actions and learn from how your behavior has lead you to the situation you are now in."

Of course, that's always wise -- in any circumstance. But what I was concerned about was minimizing the damages.

You said: "If you abuse this opportunity once again, do not be surprised if your future bleatings about how unfairly you are being treated fall on deaf ears."

No one ever explained how I "abused" it before. I don't know the value of scolding someone is if you can't explain to them what they're being scolded for. -- Scarpy (talk) 03:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:In the news

1. Please understand that ITN is not a newswire. Its purpose is to link to articles that already have been substantially expanded (or newly created and brought up to a decent level) because of recent news. A stub that provides virtually no information beyond the ITN blurb fails to qualify and is not of value to our readers. The article should be added to ITN after it's been improved to the point at which it provides a reasonable amount of information, not before.
2. When editing a main page section, please make use of the "Show preview" button, and always check to make sure that an image still exists here (hasn't been deleted and isn't being pulled from the Wikimedia Commons) before reverting to it.
Thank you. —David Levy 02:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tornado article

And what do you suggest to protect the Tornado article that seems to be the target of a concerted attack lately? Pierre cb (talk) 07:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] hi5.com article remains

The hi5.com article remains, wasn't it suppoused to be deleted?

It smells of astroturfing. The fact that I avoid social networking sites makes me -ironically- very aware of them, and yet this one simply passed under my radar. I didn't know of this site a week ago and now i have two request from frends, users of this service. Also the article states it is one of the most popular social networking site in latin america? It smells of astro-turfing. Maybe is a self-fulfiling prophecy but the truth seems to be that they are advertising on Wikipedia and profitting from it.

[edit] No problem

I was just about to leave you a note to ask if someone had gotten into your account. It didn't seem like a typical edit for you. :) Kafka Liz (talk) 00:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks also for cleaning up my talkpage. :) Kafka Liz (talk) 10:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Just a heads up on [2] concerning some of your edits. --BozMo talk 19:13, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] bnetd

Thank you for improving the bnetd article by deleting suspected original research. Unfortunately, some portions of the text you blanked were properly cited to third-party references, or could easily have third-party references found, and these portions have been restored. I invite you to participate on the article's talk page if you have further suggestions for improvement. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 06:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brenham texas

I live there. The people that were deleted are very minor as members of the community. If fact, Michael Bishop was just a football player in the junior college in Brenham. Gus Mutscher was convicted of a felony. Most of the people in Brenham are not really proud of him.

[edit] Undelete

I saw you were the closing admin on Adil Said Al Haj Obeid Al Busayss, could I get it copied over to my userspace so I have the info on-hand? Thanks! Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 19:45, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sicko

Hi. I don't know why you think I didn't watch the video, but I assure you, I did. The word he used was "have", not "having". I actually replayed that particular moment at least three times, in fact, because it was one of the things I noticed that was different than in the article. In addition, a direct quote is preceded by a comma, not a colon (unless one is using a quote template), and the number of periods in an ellipsis should be consistent, and is usually three. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

sorry man.

[edit] sorry man

my bad.

[edit] Oh, sorry I forgot.

I had no idea vandalism reverting could be so fun. --Closedmouth (talk) 08:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reverts - Trivia

Hi Ryan

Your assistance would help, thanks
