Thanks for removing trivia from Empire State Building.

[edit] RE: Empire State Building

Hello, thanks for the comments. In reply, because i don't know a lot about the Empire State Building in general i'm not going to get into a major dispute over it. I will only add 1 cultural reference back. This is the instance of the building appearing (starring) in the 2007 Doctor Who episodes "Daleks in Manhattan" and "Evolution of the Daleks", in which, the building is one of the two main settings. (Infact its the Daleks base!). Doctor Who is the worlds longest running and most successful sci-fi show ever. (and thats a fact, not an opinion). So i see two whole episodes of it revolving around the Empire State Building as very very notable. Anyway those are my reasons. I wont re-add all the "trivia" like i did last time. But the Doctor Who appearance is one cultural reference i must insist stays in the article. Thanks for your time and patience :-) TheProf - T / C 13:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Note on AfDs

Dear TallNapoleon (nice username by the way, as I study Napoleon), I noticed you have participated in a number of AfDs today. Please allow me to offer some advice so that you do not run into problems with other editors. First, many do not like to see rapid AfD posts. Please consider yours for today:

Generally, speaking, editors should take more than a minute (and in some cases above you posted in two AfDs in under a minute) to examine the article, look for sources/see if he or she can improve the article at all, and then comment in the AfD. Secondly, "per nom" (which you did in many of the above: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], and [13]) is considered an "argument" to avoid in deletion discussion. The main thing is that AfD is not a vote, but a discussion, i.e. participants are expected to offer something new to the discussion by which we hopefully come to consensus or agreement. Deletion is also a last resort (usually reserved for libel, hoaxes, and copyright violations or instances in which a redirect location does not exist). If the article itself is unworthy, but a redirect location exists, then we just redirect the article so that editors' contributions can remain public. Also, if you do believe the article should be deleted, you'll be much more convincing if you provided evidence that you attempted to find sources or to improve the article. Anyway, please do consider the above advice and observations as they are from my own experience and I do not wish to see other editors encounter any headaches that I did. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself." Happy editing! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 21:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I rarely agree with Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles, but I came here to point out what he pointed out. Nevertheless - welcome to Wikipedia, and happy editing! Jobjörn (talk) 00:19, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Classical elements in popular culture

I don't know a thing about classical elements, so I doubt I'd be of any real help there. I did categorize the page at least. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello?

TallNapoleon is there anyway you can contact me by sending me a Wikipedia message or an e-mail here: franciscantertiary@gmail.com? Thank you. - Bay17832Bay17832 (talk) 01:10, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Can we just delete the 3 articles? I want them to be deleted too - no debate needed. bay17832Bay17832 (talk)

It'll be 5 days at least tomorrow. Will they be deleted? bay17832Bay17832 (talk) 01:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

What more consensus is needed? We're the only ones interested, and we both want it deleted! bay1783274.78.96.11 (talk) 04:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RedandNater.com

Can you please point to a source which proves that this website is notable? Corvus cornixtalk 23:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

All right, thanks for your response, but we'll have to disagree, I guess.  :) Corvus cornixtalk 01:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Remember me

It's me. I was trying to write an article about JG-E well you might as well delete it. I don't care. You might already if you read my Talk page. or the JG-E talk page. Anyway go ahead, delete away.--Anfish (talk) 17:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Do you know me?

You helped me out before. My name is Andrew Fish. We've only met somewhere else on wikipedia. --Anfish (talk) 21:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

By the way do you happen to know if wikipedia allows you to speak in text language. Also, I kind of take you as a role model so if you have any info I need to know just send it to my talk page. You rule!!!--Anfish (talk) 21:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion?

A while back you nominated my page on JG-E to be deleted. It has been excepted to not be deleted. Did you have anything to do with it Not being deleted?--Anfish (talk) 19:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Hmmmmm. You got a point about that. Someone keeps editing it. Earlier today it was gone. Can you try to keep an eye out on the page and inform me if it leaves. It would help if you responded to JG-E's talk page. I don't want you to get into an edit conflict because I am editing my talk page 24/7. --Anfish (talk) 22:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Ohhhhhh by the way. I saw that thing you sent me on my talk page. I will start working on this. By the way. You are free to delete that page already. Delete it! Just do it!!!. I don't care if you delete it. Go on and delete away. This conflict is over!!!--Anfish (talk) 23:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay I understand, but as you probably know, I'm new, can you send me a link so I can get their easier, and report all of this so they can delete the page already!!!--Anfish (talk) 23:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey! . . . . . I did it!!! My article is finally up for speedy deletion. I couldn't of gave contact to them if it wasn't for you!!! I thank you every last bit. Now I don't have to worry about ten million people on my shoulder yelling Don't vandalize!!! I'm FREE!!!!!--Anfish (talk) 23:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

It's deleted!!!! No more worrying about the JG-E page. So no more talking about it. At least we can talk about other subjects later. I will actually miss all this rucuss. *(If that is spelled wrong inform me!!) Here take a look at the link! JG-E See it doesn't exist!!! That's why it is red!!! By the way I like adding (!!!) to the end of the sentence a lot because I am an eager person!!!--Anfish (talk) 23:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Delete Impro-Visor?

Sorry, I'm new at this, but what sort of scholarly recognition would qualify to prevent deletion? The work has appeared at one international conference and an international workshop, both of which were refereed (I can provide links). Would this help, or hurt (because it would then be claimed to be "original research")? Also, there are about 1200 users in the Yahoo! group. Can I see if any of these want to provide an unbiased testimonial? I'm just not sure what is fair, but I do think the software is noteworthy (and I realize that must be considered a biased opinion).

Thanks.

[edit] Random Subject-Signbot

I don't know about you but I am completely annoyed of signbot. He always sends you a note about signing when you clearly made a mistake. I now he is just a bot but seriously. He really gets on my nerves. I think he is controlled by another user. I have a bone to pick with that guy. What do you think about it? By the way you're right about my grammar! I had to re-edit this because of it. It isn't me it's just I type way to fast. Anfish (talk) 22:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Don't censor the talk pages

Hey, I can't stop you from censoring Edward, but if you try to censor anyone else, I'll revert your censorship. Bad form. 69.121.221.174 (talk) 02:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I made my point. What I was curious about was whether you'd do the right thing and move my message to the bottom of your page, or the wrong thing by censoring it. You failed, as expected. 02:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] bishops

good job to get them out of here, but I hope you're checking each to see if by any chance one might have something special. DGG (talk) 20:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Changed Page

I just wanted to inform you that my talkpage will be changed as said here-->User talk:Anfish By the way how do you type the word "here" and make it a link?--Anfish (talk) 23:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit]  ?

OK you delete the other two, but not Vezelis? Why? Just have it deleted like the others then! bay17832Bay17832 (talk) 00:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Challenge #1

I have a secret link on my user talk that will send you right to a secret page!!! I thought of just doing this becuase I have nothing to do. Also I will have stuff like this happen later but harder. Another thing is that the link doesn't go anywhere. So If you click on it it will go to a page but it will say something about creating the page. Well, it won't let you here i will show you right here.--Anfish (talk) 21:57, 1 May 2008 (UTC)Sorry  :( :[ :{man I have been really childish today. I'll be better tommorrow--Anfish (talk) 00:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

--As a reminder at times I can be a little childish so don't give me personal attacks about what I do!!! I also have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and my Anxiety might effect my usage of the talk pages so remember don't give personal attacks!!! I don't like when things get a bit too personal.--Anfish (talk) 00:39, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rand Anon IP RfC

Looking at the dispute resolution protocol, I've made an RfC regarding one of the anon IPs who's trolling this article. Since you've been involved in a dispute with this person please certify it and post your observations here [17]. Idag (talk) 05:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your comments on talk Ayn Rand

Hi Napolean, Edward put a rant amidst your comments on talk:Ayn Rand. It broke up your comment and cofused things. I fixed that as best I could while leaving his text unchanged. Ethan a dawe (talk) 17:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Please contact me by email immediately at spinoza1111@yahoo.com concerning your abominable conduct at the Ayn Rand talk page. You removed my contributions and now are using the ideas and corrections I supplied at some risk. For example, it was I who pointed out adjective overuse.
I will not touch the page as promised. However, I want you and the other editors to insert a section on the talk page containing two acknowledgements:
(1) That I did not troll the page because trolling is insincere and anonymous posting and I posted under my own name and I meant every word.
(2) I also want credit for foregrounding and focusing upon the main problem while being called names and putting my offline reputation, the sales of my book. and possibly my job at risk. The consensus is becoming that my analysis of why Rand is not a philosopher, an analysis I am preparing to submit to Philosophy Today, an offline and refereed journal (as some of you recommended), is the correct one, and if it is used to change the article, I want this credited to me. By falsely labeling me a "troll" you have done civilly actionable harm to my name and reputation based on a misuse of the term "troll", and this may include financial damage to sales of my book, so please give this serious matter your full attention.
(3) I want this section to contain an apology for the abominable way I was treated.
If this is not done by the end of the month, I will initiate legal action against you and Ethan A Dawe, because your conduct is roughly equivalent to misconduct under wikipedia's own "biographies of living persons" policy, which was designed to protect wikipedia against libel lawsuits. I am aware that you have even eradicated my edit records, but this is futile on your part under the laws of the USA, and will simply make more work for you and your attorneys in the discovery phase.
By using incivil language such as "rant" to describe essays from which you subsequently steal content, not only are you engaged in libel, you also initiate a violation of "be civil". I am well aware that this wikipedia policy is consistently misused, throughout wikipedia, to exclude dissenters, and only rarely, if ever, does anyone do due diligence to find out why a person is being incivil in a man's response to the initiation of incivility, the "rule" being merely a tool to exclude people in a crypto-racist fashion, but your constant incivility, while not expressed as creatively as I would, shall compound your legal difficulties.
Because I am sick to death of you people, I am restricting my wikipedia activities for the foreseeable future to helping Herb Schildt, author of the Complete C++ Reference, defend his good name, as an internet anti-bullying activist. I will not visit nor will I alter the Rand content.
This is a very, very serious matter. I will pursue all avenues open to me in this. Please give this your immediate attention. To discuss it and resolve it before it goes further I need you to contact me at spinoza1111@yahoo.com.

Pay no attention to Edward. He does this on lots of internet sites. I doubt he could raise the resources to hire a lawyer and would have these things tossed out of court if he did. Ethan a dawe (talk) 10:36, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bishops?

Why are you only interested in deleting Bishops. I kind of got this in my head by random. You have been deleting lots of bishop pages why don't you delete other pages too. Like I have started to delete pages too. I focus on stubs but that is just because they are unuseful. Well atleast some are. Do you have something against them because it's kind of confusing. I mean aren't you a catholic. I'm not so I don't understand what it is. I am going to search right now. See ya!!! Well I guess I won't actually see you. Well I will meet ya later. Of course not in person. Bye!!!!!!!!!--Anfish (talk) 20:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I understand that. Not to be offensive. Thanks, oh yeah and thanks for letting me know this. The minute you sent that I was about to delete a page. Your really making contributing to wiki alot easier than it has been much recently. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah and I almost forgot that you were Roman Catholic. Well nice chatting with you!!! Or discussing with you. Ugh!!! --Anfish (talk) 21:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] new user

By the way, the fact that a brand new user would immedietly go to talk:ayn rand and comment on the mess there and do nothing else anywhere is very telling. I wouldn't concern myself with it. They will most likey end up in the fourth section of my user page. Ethan a dawe (talk) 10:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I think a CheckUser should be submitted on lilith. She sounds very much like Edward, or Bert trying to sound like Edward. Given the number of Socks that regualarly poop up on Ayn Rand (see my user page, section 4) it isn't suprising that it would happen again. What do you think? If they aren't, then that's fine, I'll appologize, but I'm fairly confident we are seeing old block freinds return with fresh insults. I've seen socks argue with socks who turned out to be them. Are you up for filling the reuest out, or shall I? Ethan a dawe (talk) 14:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] "Huge orphaned category"

A link or two to the appropriate pages might help a little here. John Carter (talk) 14:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing from the histories that they are most, if not all, the work of User:Striver, one of the more active Islamic editors, who has only had one edit so far this month. My personal opinion would be that the categories and contents are probably mergeable, but it would probably be a good idea to get a response from him first. John Carter (talk) 20:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
He has complained several times in the past about how his unsourced articles get deleted. My guess would be to leave him a message and then wait, say, two weeks. Then, if we get no response, we can raise it to the Islam project and see what response we get there. John Carter (talk) 20:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting tidbit

So I asked some of my friends who are still in academia and apparently no one has heard of this Nilges fellow. He's either lying about being a professor or he's a teacher at some community college in the middle of nowhere. Certainly explains a few things about the way he tries to set himself up as superior to everyone else. Idag (talk) 03:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
