Hey andrew, thanks for your contribs to Hacker. I noticed you reacted defensively when another editor suggested you keep comments short on talk pages at Talk:Hacker, but I would also request the same -- and based on widely accepted guidelines for talk pages. Check out wikipedia:talk_page_guidelines , specifically: Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#Good_practice , which states, Be concise: If your post is longer than 100 words, consider shortening it. Long, rambling messages are difficult to understand, and are frequently either ignored or misunderstood.. For the sake of all those interested in following the discussions behind the articles, try to keep comments short! The rest of the talk page guidelines as well as Wikipedia:Civility are well worth the read if you plan to stick around. We're all on the same team here... believe it. Feel free to drop any questions my way, and again -- welcome. ∴ here… ♠ 03:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Andrew, a look at your contributions shows singular dedication to the Hacker subject. I'm sure that your efforts will be more readily accepted once you have a bit more experience -- and choose to follow the accepted discussion guidelines. (keep your comments short!). Please try your hand contributing to a different article for experience, and re-read Wikipedia:Civility. ∴ here… ♠ 08:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello Andrew81446. Just a quick reply to your comment on my talk page: Err... Did you actually read the quote you dumped on my talk page fully?
"As already said, this would be the answer using your style of thinking. Not the style of thinking that I prefer."
rtc is not saying that that's his view, only that that is is the view using your style of thinking.

Hi. I just wanted to drop you a friendly note since, in your last message on Talk:Hacker, you seem to be confused.
You said "I have officially called for arbitration." Unfortunately, you have not. Should you wish to file an arbitration case, I recommend reviewing the material here; look especially at the pink box under the "Requesting arbitration" heading. That outlines the steps you'll need to undertake to file an arbcom case.
Now, if you asked for my advice -- which you didn't -- I'd tell you that I think you would be better served by learning to be concise (which generally means "make your point in 100 words or less"), by avoiding dishonest tactics such as using sockpuppets to try to create a false sense of support for yourself, and to treat others with more respect than you thus far have. But if you're determined to try to bring a matter like this to arbitration, I certainly won't stand in your way.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do, Nandesuka ( talk) 03:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I came across this by chance. What is the dispute about? Is it that hacker means cracker in the UK? If so, I agree entirely! Mike0001 ( talk) 16:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I am proposing to rename the article currently titled Hacker. If you're interested in the discussion, you can find it at Talk:Hacker. Army1987 ( talk) 13:42, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
