[edit] hey thanks

Thanks for removing that vandalism. How do you monitor that stuff, anyway? (Neutronbomb 04:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC))

I probably used this: User:Lupin/Anti-vandal_tool ._-zro tc 01:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mine or mine

I created an article Crandall Canyon Mine, without checking Crandall Canyon mine first.

We need to merge the two articles. Is capital "M" right, or lower case??? IP4240207xx 03:18, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

PS: I looked at mines on "Category:Mines by mineral" and a rough a eyeball guess is 60% upper case, 40% lower case...
O dear. Hmmmm.... After reviewing the google news results for "Crandall Canyon Mine" the results seem mixed as well. I believe that if it is referenced as "the Crandall Canyon Mine" as opposed to "Crandall Canyon's mine" it is a proper noun and should be capitalized. I'm not absolutely positive though. Reviewing naming conventions doesn't seem to proved clear help either. I say we go ahead and merge into Crandall Canyon Mine and make a redirect on Crandall Canyon mine, and see if anyone doesn't like. What do you think? ...Also, great job on the article! ._-zro tc 04:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, my mind went naturally to UPPER case when I went to start the article. Also, I think the confusion comes when you say: "I work at the coal mine." Then: I work at the Opal coal mine." And, people forget to convert the word to upper case. I agree, UPPER case. And thanks for the kudo's, I think mine has more technical dotting of the "I"'s and crossing the "T"'s, I even copied my opening sentence the other one because it looked so weak. And, then I added the mapit, Google Satillite looks the best. I also tried to pack a lot of info in just a few words and sentences, word economist. IP4240207xx 06:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, sounds good. I actually didn't start the article. I probably would have created it UPPERCASE as well. I'm not sure who originally created the article, actually. And I'm very glad you had real info on the mine, the article I was working on basically should have been titled "The Accident @ CC Mine", since it had NO information on the mine itself really. It was quite poor. Thanks again for your contributions! ._-zro tc 06:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] O mighty vandals!

Hi, Z. On your user page it reads: Zro spends most edit time revering vandals, adding citations, and other minor edits. I think the sixth word is missing a letter, but I hesitate to edit your user page for you. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 17:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

O dear! ... that is a nasty typo.... thanks! ._-zro tc 23:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

Excuse me but how does what I did qualify as vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjamin177 (talk • contribs) 02:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pedophilia and Child Sexual Abuse in Fiction

Thanks for your comments on this troubled page's Talk. I've just copied the article to a sandbox at my user page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SocJan/Sandbox , giving it a far less POV introduction and a new title along lines that others have suggested. Please have a look, see what you think. Your comments would be most welcome. SocJan (talk) 03:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Resolution near (?) on how to entitle Tony Sandel's lists of books portraying sexual attraction to children

Please visit Talk:List_of_works_portraying_adult_attraction_to_young_males#Requested_move. Tony has accepted a proposal for a new title that may put to rest objections dating back to late 2006. Your input in the next few days would be appreciated. You participated in earlier discussions of this question and related questions about that work. SocJan (talk) 03:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Colbayns

Hi zro, thanks for the advice reference getting to grips with editing the Colbayns article. I am new to this so I hope people will be patient with me.

What was it about the article that brought it to your attention; amongst all the other articles, what takes you to one on a school in a different country to you?Crucible1999 (talk) 16:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Your edit @ 16:42, 9 June 2008 contained the word "f*ck", and there were a number of consecutive edits with no edit summary from a user with a blank user page which lead me to investigate. Then briefly reviewing the article, it seemed that perhaps your intentions were not malicious (WP:AGF). However, your edits are in need of some serious work. Please review policies on Verifiability, Original Research, and Tone. You should try to improve the page before someone takes it upon themselves to remove your additions. Adding citations is a good place to start, maybe try here. At any rate, I wish you well, and feel free to ask for help if your ever confused!._-zro tc 23:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks very much zro. My contributions are hopefully going to be considered good humoured but honest. As regards style, I take your point about the word, "F*ck" but that is a verbatim quote as relayed to me by the receptionist, and in the context it struck me as entertaining. Perhaps I could paraphrase it? As regards citations, I shall certainly look into that. I didn't know what an edit summary was but I have seen some other people's now, so I shall work out how to do them, I promise. It'll have to be at the weekend now, though. Will that be soon enough? Many thanks for taking such an interest in my faltering steps and for your kind support.Crucible1999 (talk) 22:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
In response to your last response about "F*ck" and it being a quote "relayed to you"... I think perhaps I was not clear on why it drew my attention. There is no RULE against the word "Fuck", if it is informative. What drew my attention was the censorship of it in such a manor. As far as you being the only source of the quote PLEASE review WP:OR and WP:V! Also in regards to profanity, WP:PROFA. I'll check back this weekend, I don't know if others will be as patient. Goodluck! ._-zro tc 03:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
