Nah, just kidding. Saw the change you made to Clinical depression, and just want to let you know that the stat comes from the Canadian Mental Health Association, which has far better survey tools for such things than I. You may wish to consider reverting it. Denni 01:38, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hi Bodnotbod, I saw your revert on clinical depression. I have conducted a very similar argument with John Gohde on his talk page. I am not very happy with this boxing match. The compromise we reached was to replace {{CamBottom}} with {{CamTiny}}, which is less intrusive but still a far cry from "normal" encyclopedic info on the CAM viewpoint. Any views on the matter?

Thanks for the talk page message. I have little to add, and quotations of journal articles that are not otherwise mentioned should be removed. But I would recommend keeping articles that appear relevant, and certainly not replace then with links to the BBC! I am too underqualified on psychiatry to give professional feedback on this particular article, but I'll give it a close reading soon... JFW | T@lk 19:32, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed your recent edits to McDonald's Corporation. You may be interested to learn of the existence of McLibel case. I have created appropriate redirects. I have left your summary intact as I think a short paragraph on the trial is worthwhile in the McD article itself, as well as a more substantial treatment in the other article. The other hospital stuff is probably less important (a flash in the pan that isn't particularly important over the fifty year history of the corporation) but I guess you thought it deserves the prominence?

Bodnotbod, I do understand your perspective about allowing the community to offer evidence (this is in reference to a note you left on the evidence page for Irismeister). I think the reason for the restriction is that arbitration cases otherwise tend to attract users who looking for trouble and like to put themselves in it. Careful restrictions on who may post to these pages helps limit the escalation of situations, which often become much more partisan than they should be by different editors showing up to say "I don't really know what happened in this situation, but {Editor 1} is a sensible fellow who does vital work here, while I've never heard of {Editor 2} but a look at his work makes it clear he's a talentless hack." I will say this - if you have evidence to offer concerning an arbitration case, the best way to handle it is to contact one of the involved parties. If you have evidence helping to clear Irismeister or demonstrate a fault of mine that led to Irismeister's comments, you can contact him on his talk page. Likewise, if you have evidence substantiating my assertions about Irismeister's conduct, you could leave a note for me on my talk page. This kind of filtering allows the parties in an arbitration to control, to some extent, the course of arbitration, and set the tone. If evidence is offered to me that I think detracts from the main point, I can choose not to use it, whereas if a random editor was able to show up and offer it, the evidence could make the case seem trivial (if, say, evidence that an editor is gay was introduced by someone who finds that offensive, it could make all parties opposed to that editor appear to be homophobic). If you still disagree with the arbitration policy, well, I think there's plenty of room to discuss it. But I thought I'd give you my impression of why it works the way it does. And as noted above, if you have evidence to offer, I suggest contacting either Irismeister or myself. Jwrosenzweig 16:18, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I saw your question on Wikipedia:Help desk about a way to show how long you've been here, and given that it's gone unanswered, I'm ashamed to admit that you may have stumped us. My best advice would be to list it on Wikipedia:Village pump, so it'll get wider circulation. Good luck, Meelar 15:14, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Hi Bodnotbod,
Having had my encounters with Mr.N-H before, I am following the arbitration case against him closely. However, I do not feel that the situation on Massage warrants bringing it before the AC. He has only reverted three times so far after all, and not with very abusive comments (as compared to what he usually uses).
If the situation excalates, I will be sure to put in my bit, however.

I added some people to the category, like Twiggy, Joanna Lumley, and Julie Goodyear. I created an article on her just so I could put her in there. TheCustomOfLife 00:49, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Rienzo point-blank refuses to believe that Grace Kelly (Princess Grace of Monaco) was a gay icon, and we've gotten into a bit of an editing war over the category. Perhaps you can throw in your two cents? TheCustomOfLife 18:37, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
It wasn't a f&!*ing defeat it was a fucking defeat! I've decided that I hate all swissI hate that referee for the time being. If you fancy cheering up check out my talk page. Before tonights game I decided to paint the george cross on my tits and upload a picture of them to Wikipedia. I'll shall probably delete the picture pretty soon I'm so depressed

I created the category British sitcoms seconds before you created the other category. I've added shows to it...I was just trying to help. Mike H 00:56, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)
Glad to have you aboard. I appreciate your clear-headed, rational, and gentle approach to discussion that I've seen on the George W. Bush page. It's refreshing. Cheers! (Toasting his Beck's beer.) Kevin Baas 22:20, 2004 Jun 25 (UTC)
Very kind of you, sir, very kind. I figure people like must be at the end of their rope to end up posting cries for help at encyclopedias (and we get them frequently...the last one was a woman, poor soul, who was desperate for advice of how to rid her home of evil spirits that were tormenting her children). If I can say or do anything to increase peace in their lives for a moment, well, even if this whole encyclopedia sinks someday it will still have been worthwhile. :-) Jwrosenzweig 22:31, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
See: Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Mr-Natural-Health#Final_decision. Thanks for alerting us to this one - for some reason it wasn't on Template:ArbCommOpenTasks so I (and probably other AC members) simply forgot about it. -- mav 04:54, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
