I am human and like virtually all other humans, I do not like to be spoken to rudely. If you cannot type your message to me (a complete stranger) respectfully, perhaps you should reconsider what you are saying. I like pleases, thank-yous, respectfully's, etc.

If you scoff, sneer, look-down at this sort of thinking, please reconsider your role here.

I should think this message goes doubly or quadruply for established users and administrators.

[edit] Dimensional Insight

Could you please take another look at the Dimensional Insight article? I added some references, and I think they help demonstrate notability. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 00:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I would change my opinion to Keep but my opinion was removed by one of the jackass know-it-alls who troll this encyclopedia. I think DI is just as "notable" as 95% of the stuff on this thing, now that you've shown a few sources to demonstrate this notability. Sorry if thats not much help.

[edit] Nova Southeastern University

Wikipedia is not a newspaper !! Keeps the news out of wikipedia, and keep the facts ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.52.246.108 (talk • contribs) Scienter 16:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I am willing to discuss the matter with you, but I won't be told what may be included and what must be excluded. Your anonymous deletion and unattributed comments onto my talkpage seems like bad faith. I say to you, that issue is important to the school, the works, the community of Davie and surrounding areas. Further, it has received local, region, and national coverage by media outlets. To argue that "wikipedia is not a newspaper" is an irrelevant argument. I'm not reporting news, I'm including events that speak to the notability of the university as a whole. I'm not crystalballing, I'm not crufting, I'm not violating any Wikipolicy that I am aware of. Look, I'm not saying the Nova article, or the UNICCO subsection is well done, but the UNICCO subsection does belong on the Nova article. My initial thoughts are that you have a beef with Nova or perhaps with UNICCO and don't like how I've presented it. I've tried for objectivity and NPOV, but perhaps you think I've failed at that effort. Then EDIT the article in a neutral way, don't erase it. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll report you to an administrator.Scienter 14:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. Keep up the NPOV editing, and try not to worry much about vandals like the one who wrote on your talk page. I and others had to deal with the same thing when writing about UNICCO/SEIU/University of Miami earlier this calendar year. When your IPvandal strikes again, just revert, type "rv vandalism" in the edit summary, and stick a warning tag on that vandal's userpage. Just type in {{test2a}}-~~~ and then enter. If the vandal repeats his/her offense, you can report him/her on the administrator's noticeboard, and that IP address will be blocked. Good luck! --Anthony Krupp 20:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


What do you think about capsulating the issues as it has been done on the University of Miami page and moving the more detailed explanation to a seperate page?Butnotthehippo 00:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

  • sounds like a great idea. As soon as exams are over I can take some time to help in improving the Nova article more. As of right now, I'm limited to mostly the occasional peek. Scienter 05:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I did a bunch of work on various Nova stuff. I created some new pages and such. I've never done that before and you seem to know what you're doing, so when you get a chance if you wouldn't mind looking at them... good luck on examsButnotthehippo 09:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Thank you! I looked at the new edits and they look good from a cursory glance. I'm actually very new to editing myself, although I confess I've been trolling Wikipedia for several years. I have managed to take some photos while walking around campus that will look very good. Scienter 14:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Greetings, I wanted to invite you to leave a comment at Talk:Nova Southeastern University. Another user and I disagree on the use of a POV tag, and I think a third opinion could help us with this. Thanks for taking the time! Best, -Anthony Krupp 14:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Asian Games

can i take some of your time? can you give me suggestions on how i can reword the criticism section in an NPOV manner? please reply on my talk page. thanks a lot. --RebSkii 17:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

For your comments on my talk page in relation to harassment. It's always nice to receive help even when it hasn't been asked for! Regards, -Anthony Krupp 16:43, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I made a user page. I stole your layout since it is simple and seemed easy to modify. I hope you don't mind!! They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Butnotthehippo 06:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Butnotthehippo

Butnotthehippo is a silly person who thinks his status as a law student gives rights to edit other contributors input, and he does it without justifying. Butnotthehippo appears to think that naked females are notable persons, but a man who works hard and gets to be an expert witness. Butnotthehippo appears to be uneducated and looking to have his input edited as well, should we find it out to be self serving and or untrue. Scienter, you need to coach your protegee a bit more on ethics, he needs a few more lessons. His actions as an editor are something to be, improved upon. Thank you.(10 March 2007 (UTC))

  • I have no protegee, and Butnotthehippo has never acted as though he were. I do not know the individual you speak of beyond our collaboration on the NSU article. If you have a personal problem with him, perhaps you should speak to him personally? Scienter 13:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Civility

Scienter,

Thanks for your support.

[edit] WP:PROD

Regarding your assertion that the "author should have been aware of Wikipedia policy and should never remove a prod" on the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Logitech_MX_revolution AFD - this is incorrect. Anyone can remove a prod from an article for any reason as long as it's not blatant vandalism. Please see WP:PROD. exolon 23:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Charles Smith AfD closing

Hi, I closed the debate as delete because the article didn't contain a single sentence on the importance of the subject. The article had two citations, both of were used as references for his views, not for asserting notability. It also stated that "Smith is unknown outside of Oregon, and has no previous experience in political office."

Here's an analysis of votes:

Keep

  • User:69.143.31.101 (WP:USEFUL)
  • User:Peteforsyth (notable locally in Oregon -- countered by RGTraynor with the argument that notability within Oregon is not established either)
  • User:Scienter (per Peteforsyth and Katr67)
  • User:172.164.116.249 (received press coverage -- countered by User:Nhprman with the argument that the coverage is trivial)
  • User:Katr67 (WP:USEFUL)

Delete

Redirect

Comments

  • User:Djma12 (Does not meet WP:BIO for notability)
  • User:Mikesmth, subject of the article (other such articles exist, Wikipedia should serve as a resource for voters to assess candidates)

I personally felt that none of the keep votes asserted how the subject passess WP:BIO. If you feel that the consensus was not reached, please feel free to file a deletion review. utcursch | talk 15:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

This edit broke your userpage (and lots of other peoples). I have now reverted the edit. Thanks for pointing it out - because there was probably a lot of confused people out there. Ian¹³/t 19:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Ian¹³/t 21:33, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
