[edit] Sheehan article

Hello and thanks for the comments. I believe that most of the chronology items you removed provided important context for Sheehan's actions. She is literally a "reactionary," reacting against President George W. Bush and his war policies, and thus events like his vacation and conduct are of importance. Sheehan seems to have chosen the (originally planned to be 5 week) vacation very carefully to stage her protest. Purging mention of Bush's reactions to the protest is ill-considered, especially in light of the hard, consistent work many editors have put into this article over the past weeks.

One needs to be very judicious in removing large amounts of text from Wikipedia articles, especially one that has been edited so thoroughly (50+ edits per day for many days), a consensus having been built during that time. We all have our own personal points of view but we do not let these get in the way of our editing. Yours seems apparent from your (surprising) statement that Sheehan is not a significant member of the anti-war movement. We all, also, have our own personal views about what is important (or contextual) and what is not. Yours have been stated particularly strongly, but please be aware that others may not agree that a chronology item is not relevant.

The crux of the matter: there is no single website except the Sheehan page, built "brick by brick" over time, that includes a comprehensive synopsis of all major events in the chronology. To respond to some of your finer points: celebrity and politicians' appearances are significant, as few had publicly demonstrated against the Iraq war (though some may have been privately anti-war). The boots reference is a link to another national anti-war tour, and thus has significance. All of the chronology items add context, even the Sharpton motofcade reference, which I did not feel was crucial as it reflected on Sharpton rather than Sheehan, but I felt it was fair to leave it in as it's part of the overall "story." Originally, your first joking exchanges with other editors about there being too many extraneous chronology items tended to undermine your seriousness, but I do believe you have the best intentions in mind. Just be aware that the chronology has been constructed with great care, and many extraneous items have indeed already been thrown out along the way, by consensus.

This time you were rude, and that is never nice. I did of course check that photo page and saw the credit but thought the anon IP may have put that name there to match the photo credit. The anon edit adding photo credit, as you noticed, was uncommented and we have had problems for many, many weeks with dozens if not hundreds of edits from anon IPs, almost all of which are vandalism or otherwise bad edits. The Sheehan article is a sensitive one; everyone seems to have an agenda or want to add or delete things for the wrong reasons. So we have to be very watchful for anon IPs, esp. those who don't comment on their edits (they usually don't). In future, can you be nicer? I promise to do so as well.

Yes, the closing paragraph. With thousands of edits under our belts everyone makes a bad one from time to time. I (maybe unlike others here) am not unwilling to admit that I have been incorrect about something. However, one should maintain a spirit of cordiality here which is unfortunately often lacking in society. I hope you agree. Badagnani 07:02, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Megaman Battle Networks Chip List

This is meant as a continuation of a comment you left over at Hibana's discussion page. It seemed more logical to address the issue here rather than on his page.

Specifically, colour me confused. I have no idea what you mean by "Furthurmore, I was the one who had reverted in the past when you made the list, concerning its "messiness", which you did, indeed correct." Looking at my last edit to the topic (Oct 14th) the only list was one of the game specific NetNavis. Is this the one you are referring to? Or are you, perhaps, referring to anon 68.197.30.16's list (which seems more likely, but again I am not sure). But leaving my general confusion behind, for the moment, I fully agree (as, it appears, you do too) that the chip lists shouldn't be contained on Wikipedia (see MegaMan BN 1's Talk Page for an example). Anyways, since you are around the articles fairly often I am sure I will be seeing you. Thought 23:56, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

  • My deepest apologies. I (wrongly) assumed that you were previously anon 68.197.30.16! Please forgive me. :) Anywho, I'm very glad we share a common opinion on this subject, and I hope you like my edits to the article. Finally, like other newcommers who share a love of Megaman, I welcome you to corect edits and make articles, and I'm glad to find another wikipedian who loves Megaman as much as I do. I hope you stay in Wkipedia and continue to make and edit articles, regarding the subject, and please don't hesitate to talk to me on my talkpage. Regards, MegamanZero 2:18 6,December 2005 (UTC)
    • ecuse me But in that chip list is there an X Code anywhere? Anonymous User
      • Sorry, but I have no idea what an X Code is. Perhaps you are thinking about one of the other Megaman games? Thought 20:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] McK

I dont know what you mean re "see talk"; as far as I can tell the corrigendum doesn't affect the results because... it didn't. The results are as before. As to *why* M&M's submission was rejected... we don't know - we have only their word on it, which is not good enough William M. Connolley 22:02, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
