[edit] Sorreh

Yeah er.bodeh makes mistakes, but if you read the top part of my userpage you'd understand why I do this,

HOWEVER: I will admit I wwas wrrong when I was wwriting the descriptions for the edits, I thought I could write whatever the hell I want on them.

ALSO NOTE: I have nothing against mentally illness, I to tell you the truth I actually T.A. (teacher's assistant) in a retarded class, and I believe this will help me gain a career in an Insane Assylum (not sarcastic).

I WILL DO THIS= I'm gonna have to remove that message off my talk page and that's also the reason why I responded to it here, it's because it's a bit embaressing.

~Ya Boi Krakerz~ (talk) and don't worry, it won't happen again

Nothing can be actually REMOVED from WP. If you go to the edit history, everything is there (it even shows you removing it). See?
I'm glad to see you got the message, though. Happy hacking! --W2bh (talk) 07:17, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


I ALAREADY KNEW THAT, GEEZ!!!!, man if you knew me, i'm a big Wikipedian and I knew that you can always see the history of what was already there....

and what the hell does "Happy Hacking" mean? I don't hack.

When you reply to a message in a talk page, you should use colons at the beggining of your lines. That indents the messages, so it'll look like an actual thread.
I started with one colon, so you should use two, then on my next reply I will use three, and so on.
"Happy hacking" is something that Richard Stallman says. You don't have to be a programmer to hack. --W2bh (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


Lulz, this "Richard Stallman" guy looks like Santa just after 7 hits of shine.

Well, this "Richard Stallman" guy is the one who started the Free software movement that made Wikipedia possible, and he wrote the GNU Free Documentation License, that is, the license under wich all content in Wikipedia is released under. --W2bh (talk) 04:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Larry King

There aren't really any policies of image acquisition, it's a very ad hoc thing that's reliant on the personal ingenuities of editors. The way I've usually seen it done (and done it myself) is you can write to the family, ask them to release a photo, and then upload it to the Commons stating you have an email releasing it into the public domain. Put the text of the email into the photo summary. If there are any irregularities the Commons will email you about it. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 12:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: blocking an IP

I'm sorry, I am not an administrator, so I cannot block the IP. What you should do is report the vandal here. Then an administrator can take care of the problem. Thanks for helping protect Wikipedia from the forces of evil. If you need help in any area, don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to help you out. Cheers!

[edit] regarding puting new info on IBM page

Hi,

regarding the below message:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles, as you did to IBM. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. –w2bh talk•contribs 19:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

How would you suggest I put the Virtual Innovation Center info on IBM page?

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you can't. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, and as such, the content we put in the articles has to be of an encyclopedic nature and worthy of inclusion. We have to write an article that is of interest to a general audience of people: IBM's history, current and past software and hardware developments, it's corporate culture, etc., are notable topics that warrant inclusion in an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. Some particular training course or support facility that IBM currently provides is not.
Including the information would be advertisement; you have other venues for that. And I would think that IBM's website is sufficient enough to deliver this information to people who might be interested in it.
Please do not be discouraged by this, and feel free to contribute other content to this and other articles; we always love to have new people on board. But please note that if you work for IBM (as your edits seem to suggest, and in case you do not, I apologize for my erroneous interpretation) you may potentially find yourself having a conflict on interest regarding this article. Wikipedia articles need to treat its subjects in a neutral point of view. If you feel this could happen to you, I would suggest that you concentrate your efforts in contributing to other articles, at least until you get more familiarized with Wikipedia's inner workings. Thanks again for your interest in contributing, and I hope to keep seeing you around! –w2bh talk•contribs 06:39, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
