Sure Micheal Phelps is winning all those gold medals and is so called the best Olympian ever. But who said being an olympian is all about winning, to be the perfect Olympian you have to have physical strength but also a kind respective attitude but does Micheal Phelps have that. No, no he doesnt which makes him half a perfect olympian so who is the perfect olympian who has those too put together. Hardly anyone but no there is two Stephanie rice and Ian Thorpe. Sure Stehphanie is still ypung but at least she has a good attitude. What about Ian Thorpe his retired but was never a show- off or a boaster like Micheal Phelps. So what do i say. Viva Ian Thorpe, Viva Stephanie Rice, Viva Grant Hackett, Viva Eadmon Sullivan, Viva Australia. But long Micheal Phelps your going down. Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie Oi oi oi!

Please let me have your suggestion. On Nov.19. 2008 I added the photo of the Kaiser William Memorial Church to the Berlin page, considering it the best example of war results. Two hours later user 92.225.24.19 deleted it . I put in his talk the following: Quite amazing your statement two ruins' photos are too much. The photo I added is the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial that means the most significant memory of the Berlin destructions due to the second world war; the place I put it is the right place for that photo. Why you have not used the same criteria for the two photo of the Berlin wall? I think you should have a better reason before deleting other works. I got no answer. Could you tell me if may I try again to insert that photo or if it is better to forget it. Thanks.-- Pio Box ( talk) 11:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
The gay and lesbian section of the mississippi article should be removed. It is not relevant to the article. Ih ave not come across any other state article on wikipedia with an entire gay and lesbian section. Demographics of states should be left to race and ethnicity only. Also the info even though sourced is misleading and one qoute is flat out wrong. I double checked the sources they have listed and Jackson, Ms is not number ten in African American homosexuals. Furthermore it is natural obvious to assume that Mississippi would have the highest percentage of Black gays of any state, Mississippi has the largest overall Black percentage of any state. From the soures listed on the article New mexico and Texas have the largest Latino gay percentages. Latino homosexuals though are not included in the demographics sections of the Texas or New Mexico articles. So why should Black gays be covered in the Mississippi article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christchild777 ( talk • contribs) 01:30, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Dear Alexius Horatius,
I believe you edited out some well-sourced and referenced history of the rivalry between the boston bruins (specifically milan lucic) and george laraque on the wikipedia "geiorge laraque" page.
I noticed one of my footnotes remains but the message has been changed. Sadly, it does not tell the complete story. The question becomes, if the Boston Bruins "outplayed" the Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs in 2007-8, how would they have lost? Thus I think that that is not a neutral stance.
Second, why the fuss about all the referenced items. I even took one from the Boston Globe as well as the Winnipeg Sun! Is there a way we can cover this rivalry in a way that you will think is fair, or do I have to report your entry to Wikipedia for lack of neutrality?
Please respond so we can work this out.

I have professionally edited and added several times a segment for Janeane Garofalo, and have had it removed. I would like to inquire on it being protected. This is what I have added:
The argument that some have stated about this interview in 2009 dealt with her previous comments given on Keith Olberman in August 2003 where she stated, "I am in favor of any citizen talking" and "...the most appropriate response is dissent which is the most patriotic thing you can do and the First Amendment guarantees everyone's right to speak out."[14]
I posted a youtube link to the video showing this, and edited it for nonbias. I posted it in the appropriate area as well. Thanks in advance for your response and aid towards this matter :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by SgtCheeseNOLS ( talk • contribs) 21:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
I understand there would be vandalism like that, but what I posted and another user was not insulting in any way. We both quoted her Keith Olbermann interview, and we showed both sides in the videos posted. We showed her words in the 2003 Olbermann interview and in the 2009 (recent) interview. If there is anything insulting towards her that was said, I don't see how it could be considering all we did was show what she said. We never stated she was a man in the articles, only quotes with video references. I actually did a fairly good job of being nonbiased in saying, "Some people are arguing that her statements were controversial due to her prior statements on the Keith Olbermann show" and I showed the link to the comments. Can you please review what was said and protect it as well? Thanks :) —Preceding

Also, how is Youtube not a legitimate source in this example? I understand that people will make their own videos and such, but the video posted is an actual clip of her stating those comments given in the article in question. There is no audio editing, and you can see that for yourself. Why would you say, "That website is not a legitimate source, even though that video clip IS her talking, and is talking on the subject being mentioned in this paragraph. But you must now find other places that have that video, as I don't personally like youtube as a source." If you want to make the argument of "not a good source," we could be here a long time.
All I am asking is that you read the paragraph I added, look at the content posted, and the videos I posted from YouTube and please tell me how they are in any way slanderous and nonfactual. Thank you :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.90.21.101 ( talk) 10:50, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
There were 2 different people involved, myself who was showing the 2009 interviews controversy, and the other person who wrote JUST on the interview by quoting her. I can understand how you can say I am pulling synthesis, but don't all Wikipedia pages show the "Controversial side" as well as the "other side?" Is that not the best way to provide information the public? To give them ALL sides of the information, and let the reader make their own judgment based off all of them. I understand she has made a career off making outlandish claims, but does that mean we should give her a free pass and not put it on her Wikipedia page? Should she not be remembered for her "career out of making inflammatory statements?" There are people in history who have done some pretty bad things, and said some pretty bad things. But that shouldn't stop us from putting that information here in Wikipedia for the world to see. If someone calls people "racists" and "white-supremacists, should we not write that on here? Don Imus's Wikipedia page is almost 60% devoted to his inflammatory and controversial remarks (if you don't believe me, you should check it out)! If that is what someone's career is, it should be posted on here with facts. I posted facts. I showed what she said, the controversy it created, and the arguments made by those people who felt there was controversy in it.
As I don't want this debate to continue, I would like to then know. What can we do about this? What information can I keep on her page, and what should be removed? I personally believe the entire segment from her transcript on the Keith Olbermann program to the controversy it created. It shows the facts, both sides, and video to go along with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.90.21.101 ( talk) 16:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
This isn't a story about biases, this is a story of me and other users wanting to add to her page things she said. Would you allow us to just put her partial transcript of the Keith Olerbmann interview on the wiki page? Or what should be allowed? Because this is not bias, this is fact. She said those comments, as Don Imus did. The Wikipedia site is here to give information on people, whether good or bad. If she did community service and helped pass legislation in Congress that helped people, I would hope that article would be put online. If she spoke at a university to give a commencment speech, and there were some moving or touching words given, I would hope those are posted here. But in this case, at the present time, Janneane Garofolo said some very "controversial comments" on the air, and those should be posted. What people say and do show their character and define them as a person. Therefor I believe something should be mentioned on her page. So please tell me, what can be posted on her Wiki page? Would you prefer that you and I work together on something we can both agree on? I am willing to do either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SgtCheeseNOLS ( talk • contribs) 18:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Alexius Horatius! Thank you very much for your question and support in my RfA, which passed yesterday. I hope not to let you and the others down and use the tools for the benefit of the project. Please don't worry about the 'outdated' page :) It was actually a reason for some oppose !votes on my 2006 RfA, but I pretty much didn't update it since and many things have completely changed. I just don't think it's really worth my time at this point to re-analyze/re-write the page, hence the reason for the simple tag. Cheers, Ynhockey ( Talk) 20:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Please let me have your suggestion. On Nov.19. 2008 I added the photo of the Kaiser William Memorial Church to the Berlin page, considering it the best example of war results. Two hours later user 92.225.24.19 deleted it . I put in his talk the following: Quite amazing your statement two ruins' photos are too much. The photo I added is the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial that means the most significant memory of the Berlin destructions due to the second world war; the place I put it is the right place for that photo. Why you have not used the same criteria for the two photo of the Berlin wall? I think you should have a better reason before deleting other works. I got no answer. Could you tell me if may I try again to insert that photo or if it is better to forget it. Thanks.-- Pio Box ( talk) 11:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
The gay and lesbian section of the mississippi article should be removed. It is not relevant to the article. Ih ave not come across any other state article on wikipedia with an entire gay and lesbian section. Demographics of states should be left to race and ethnicity only. Also the info even though sourced is misleading and one qoute is flat out wrong. I double checked the sources they have listed and Jackson, Ms is not number ten in African American homosexuals. Furthermore it is natural obvious to assume that Mississippi would have the highest percentage of Black gays of any state, Mississippi has the largest overall Black percentage of any state. From the soures listed on the article New mexico and Texas have the largest Latino gay percentages. Latino homosexuals though are not included in the demographics sections of the Texas or New Mexico articles. So why should Black gays be covered in the Mississippi article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christchild777 ( talk • contribs) 01:30, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey, hey, SD is now a GA! Too many things to do, too little time. On my WP list is Spirit Mound, MD-90 (aircraft), a car factory in Illinois, and a road in NY. Those will take a while. Add in some minor stuff and my plate is full for at least 2-3 months.

Hi I really liked your map of Cook's voyages. I'm working on an article to do with whaling back in the 1800's. I don't have much skill with Wiki but I wondered if you could point me to where I could find the digital map base of the World map centered on the Pacific, and how I then add in the voyage of the whale ships.

Dear Alexius Horatius,
I believe you edited out some well-sourced and referenced history of the rivalry between the boston bruins (specifically milan lucic) and george laraque on the wikipedia "geiorge laraque" page.
I noticed one of my footnotes remains but the message has been changed. Sadly, it does not tell the complete story. The question becomes, if the Boston Bruins "outplayed" the Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs in 2007-8, how would they have lost? Thus I think that that is not a neutral stance.
Second, why the fuss about all the referenced items. I even took one from the Boston Globe as well as the Winnipeg Sun! Is there a way we can cover this rivalry in a way that you will think is fair, or do I have to report your entry to Wikipedia for lack of neutrality?
Please respond so we can work this out.

I have professionally edited and added several times a segment for Janeane Garofalo, and have had it removed. I would like to inquire on it being protected. This is what I have added:
The argument that some have stated about this interview in 2009 dealt with her previous comments given on Keith Olberman in August 2003 where she stated, "I am in favor of any citizen talking" and "...the most appropriate response is dissent which is the most patriotic thing you can do and the First Amendment guarantees everyone's right to speak out."[14]
I posted a youtube link to the video showing this, and edited it for nonbias. I posted it in the appropriate area as well. Thanks in advance for your response and aid towards this matter :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by SgtCheeseNOLS ( talk • contribs) 21:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
I understand there would be vandalism like that, but what I posted and another user was not insulting in any way. We both quoted her Keith Olbermann interview, and we showed both sides in the videos posted. We showed her words in the 2003 Olbermann interview and in the 2009 (recent) interview. If there is anything insulting towards her that was said, I don't see how it could be considering all we did was show what she said. We never stated she was a man in the articles, only quotes with video references. I actually did a fairly good job of being nonbiased in saying, "Some people are arguing that her statements were controversial due to her prior statements on the Keith Olbermann show" and I showed the link to the comments. Can you please review what was said and protect it as well? Thanks :) —Preceding

Also, how is Youtube not a legitimate source in this example? I understand that people will make their own videos and such, but the video posted is an actual clip of her stating those comments given in the article in question. There is no audio editing, and you can see that for yourself. Why would you say, "That website is not a legitimate source, even though that video clip IS her talking, and is talking on the subject being mentioned in this paragraph. But you must now find other places that have that video, as I don't personally like youtube as a source." If you want to make the argument of "not a good source," we could be here a long time.
All I am asking is that you read the paragraph I added, look at the content posted, and the videos I posted from YouTube and please tell me how they are in any way slanderous and nonfactual. Thank you :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.90.21.101 ( talk) 10:50, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
There were 2 different people involved, myself who was showing the 2009 interviews controversy, and the other person who wrote JUST on the interview by quoting her. I can understand how you can say I am pulling synthesis, but don't all Wikipedia pages show the "Controversial side" as well as the "other side?" Is that not the best way to provide information the public? To give them ALL sides of the information, and let the reader make their own judgment based off all of them. I understand she has made a career off making outlandish claims, but does that mean we should give her a free pass and not put it on her Wikipedia page? Should she not be remembered for her "career out of making inflammatory statements?" There are people in history who have done some pretty bad things, and said some pretty bad things. But that shouldn't stop us from putting that information here in Wikipedia for the world to see. If someone calls people "racists" and "white-supremacists, should we not write that on here? Don Imus's Wikipedia page is almost 60% devoted to his inflammatory and controversial remarks (if you don't believe me, you should check it out)! If that is what someone's career is, it should be posted on here with facts. I posted facts. I showed what she said, the controversy it created, and the arguments made by those people who felt there was controversy in it.
As I don't want this debate to continue, I would like to then know. What can we do about this? What information can I keep on her page, and what should be removed? I personally believe the entire segment from her transcript on the Keith Olbermann program to the controversy it created. It shows the facts, both sides, and video to go along with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.90.21.101 ( talk) 16:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
This isn't a story about biases, this is a story of me and other users wanting to add to her page things she said. Would you allow us to just put her partial transcript of the Keith Olerbmann interview on the wiki page? Or what should be allowed? Because this is not bias, this is fact. She said those comments, as Don Imus did. The Wikipedia site is here to give information on people, whether good or bad. If she did community service and helped pass legislation in Congress that helped people, I would hope that article would be put online. If she spoke at a university to give a commencment speech, and there were some moving or touching words given, I would hope those are posted here. But in this case, at the present time, Janneane Garofolo said some very "controversial comments" on the air, and those should be posted. What people say and do show their character and define them as a person. Therefor I believe something should be mentioned on her page. So please tell me, what can be posted on her Wiki page? Would you prefer that you and I work together on something we can both agree on? I am willing to do either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SgtCheeseNOLS ( talk • contribs) 18:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
