Welcome to Wikipedia! Today is April Fool's Day, however, that does not mean that vandalism will be tolerated. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and repeated and blatant violation of WP:NPOV are considered vandalism.

Thanx; you're right, I just tumbled to it a bit slow; before you posted, I started to reply and refute, etc. and I suddenly realized it. Too much of this stuff out there, for once it even snagged me, briefly.... Best, Bill 13:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
CIS, you're using several fair use images on your user page. According to point 9 of Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy (which is official Wikipedia policy), "Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace...They should never be used...on user pages." Please remove them. — Knowledge Seeker দ 00:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep in mind, CiS, that Knowledge Seeker isn't doing this just to tick you off. Even if KS were to "ignore" the fair use violation (as you suggest on your user page), there are plenty of others who wouldn't. It's not that we hate user pages and think they should be boring and unadorned (and in fact the picture of yourself that was up was probably fine). It's just that it's not legally practical to claim "fair use" when the images are just decoration on someone's user page, instead of being used to illustrate an article.

It's logical and traditional for abbreviations to be linked to the phrases for which they stand. Removing the link constitutes a removal of information. In my opinion, if you wish to break with this practice, you must make a pretty strong case at Talk:History of Earth. — Knowledge Seeker দ 01:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Thaks for your message - I think it is important to specify that the calendar is based on Jesus as a historical rather than religious figure, since this can be backed up by sources including historical documents. I agree with you that that the article on Historical Jesus is ill-suited for this purpose (seeing that it it is an article that compares the two ideas), but it is the only document which discuses Jesus in a concise historical light.
Let us wait for more input via the article's talk page, and then act upon common consensus. My apologies meanwhile for jumping to conclusions. Sfacets 13:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

It's added to the end of the sig in preferences, for example my signature is [[User:NSLE|NSL]][[WP:EA|<font color="green">E]]</font> <sub>([[User_talk:NSLE|T]]+[[Special:Contributions/NSLE|C]])</sub> at {{subst:CURRENTTIME}} [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]] <small>([[{{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}-{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}-0{{subst:CURRENTDAY}}]])</small>
The "0" before {{subst:CURRENTDAY}} is needed because for days before the 10th of the month it would produce "1", rather than "01", etc. The wikilinks around the YEAR-MONTH-DAY adjust the looks to the user's prefs (be it Month Day, Year or Day Month Year etc).
You have to select "raw signatures" in prefs, and when signing use three tildes instead of four (this takes some getting used to at first). NSL E ( T+ C) at 05:51 UTC ( 2006-04-08)
I did receive your e-mail; thank you for the nice things you said. I absolutely intend to respond to it, but I'm not sure if I'll have time tonight—I want to be able to properly address your questions.

It would be helpful when you move an article to fix all the links to that original page. It makes a lot of work especially when the link is top a non-article anad redirect. Please do the work properly instead of leaving it for the rest of us to clean up your undiscussed whimsical move. Dabbler 10:48, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
I made this mistake myself while thinking about things, in your userbox about reincarnation, did you mean ressurection instead? It's just when I was listening to something about reincarnation and ressurection I confused myself and made one get associated with the other in my mind and it made me sad, so I just thought i'd ask. Homestarmy 15:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi - no I have not read the citations you posted and have not yet formed a view on original research or the validity of the hypothesis or otherwise. Have to do some other things (non-wikipedia) first and then will have a look Regards-- A Y Arktos\ talk 23:03, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
CIS, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion only covers articles; that is, pages in the main space. User pages and user subpages fall under Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion.

Hi, CIS, I just wanted to let you know why I reverted your recent edit to History of Earth. Billion means different things in different parts of the world; in the United States, it means 109, but in other countries may mean 1012. This is a problem, and therefore when I originally wrote the article, I used "×109" throughout the article to be clear. This later struck me as overly awkward. Other possibilites are "Ga" (giga-annum, often seen in geologic literature) and "Mya" (million years ago, with something like '4550 Mya' to avoid the 'billion' problem). While these are unambiguous, I don't feel any of them are well-established in popular scientific literature to use in this article. After some discussion (see Talk:History of Earth/Archive 1#"Billion" revisited), I decided to switch to just using "billion" for simplicity, writing out the number at its first instance to avoid ambiguity. Hope that makes sense. — Knowledge Seeker দ 19:43, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the articles Season's Greetings and Happy Holiday(s), if you want to see one article merged into another, instead of just redirecting it out of the blue, tag the article with Template:Mergeto so that other Wikipedians can discuss it and arrive at a community concensus first. Merely merging/redirecting the article(s) out of the blue, with no explanation, is good reason for reversion. Stratadrake 21:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

... a few examples:
Your repeated deletion of Arabic language names from various articles is a form of vandalism. Please cease and desist immediately. If you somehow think this information doesn't belong in the articles, take it up on a talk page, or better yet, start a centralized discussion. I've reverted all your edits to restore the information you deleted. -- MarkSweep (call me collect) 18:20, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Your insistence on deleting information as you've done here leaves me little choice: I've blocked you for one hour initially to stop you from causing further damage. When the block expires, you're free to implement the compromise solution suggested by Kmf164 above. But if you continue to delete Arabic names, you will quickly find yourself blocked again. -- MarkSweep (call me collect) 19:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I was disappointed to see this. And now that I leave this message on your talk page, I see you've been blocked a couple times in the last couple days. Please don't edit war. I consider you a valuable contributor, and that's why I kept your blocks finite, but if you keep this up you may find that other administrators are not as generous. Perhaps now would be a good time for a brief wikibreak. — Knowledge Seeker দ 07:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
It was very nice to talk to you last night and I hope we can do it again soon! JamieAdams 10:33, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Regarding this edit... I'd like to note that Wikipedia does generally consider CE to be a valid epoch. Per Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Jguk#Final_decision: "Both the BCE/CE era names and the BC/AD era names are acceptable, but be consistent within an article." Also from the same decision, "When either of two styles are acceptable it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change".
Ultimately, to prevent edit wars, the rule I've heard of most is that the first use should be the one that stays, and for that article, AD seems to be the first use, so the article should probably stay as you've edited. Nonetheless, I wanted to caution you against changing CE to AD in articles without substantial justification. -- Interiot 05:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi - as you would recall I had a number of difficulties with the article until proper sources were cited. I think the verifiability policy is very important, and the source needs in this case to be precisely relevant. I thought the comments from B.Mearns in response to the RfC were useful and that he acknowledged the issues we had with Thumbelina's edits. The suggestion of using the {{fact}} template was one useful way of de-escalating and which I took up. I have posted a note to Thumbelina's talk page stating that Crayola is not an acceptable ref and I will rollback any further edits that reintroduce that as a reference in that context. The citation needed notes should remain until appropriate (by concensus) sources are provided. As you know from our previous discussions, I am really easily persuaded by the right source :-) -- A Y Arktos\ talk 23:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I'd be very interested in some of the theories you've developed regarding near-death and the afterlife, especially as applied to your recent renaissance. I'm looking forward to the completion/expansion of User:Darwiner111/Theories. B. Mearns *, KSC 17:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I mentioned in my edit that I put my reasons for the removal of the trivia section on the talk page - it'd be nice to have your input on why you think the trivia section belongs. In addition, I said on the talk page that I worked a few of the points into the article, which I think you'd agree is a better style choice than a random list at the bottom. If you'd like to keep the other two points, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, and I'll leave them in, but it's silly to take the trivia back out of the prose. Bamos 02:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
It's not logical that Celine should redirect to Celine Dion. If someone speaks of Celine it is of course Louis-Ferdinand Céline he or she is referring to. To have a redirect on the basis of a first name does not make sense. It's like redirecting "Steven" to Steven Spielberg even though there are lots of articles about people with the first name Steven.-- Blackfield 21:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
EFF does correctly point to a disambig, but I noticed you have redirected eff to Euphemism. Just wondering why... I kinda doubt it's a common mispelling :)-- AK7 19:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Deskana deleted it so we could move the page back if we wanted to. I didn't recreate it as I thought we should give it a day or two to see who squeaked. Since no one seems to have a problem with the page move and I've updated the links it's a good time to recreate the redirect - thanks. Sophia 22:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
When I respond, I'll "CC" my talk page with what I've said as well, for convenience sake. :-) The solution that I was working on was to code AD/BC and CE/BCE into templates that can display either, using a Javascript that would allow the user to toggle them back and forth with a click. Next there could be an easy way to set a "default" system via their monobook.js file. Why settle for something half way if it can be both? :-) אמר Steve Caruso ( desk/ poll) 02:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kmart Holiday.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
You have repeatedly ignored or abused policy to push your POV, used sockpuppets, and lied, and your recent edits show no sign of these patterns changing. I have therefore blocked you indefinitely. JoshuaZ 16:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
CiS, I'm disappointed that you used a sockpuppet to evade your block. There are other ways to contact users you feel may be interested in your case. I agree that an indefinite block was completely out of line, but a week for repeated POV-pushing and sockpuppetry seems to be not unreasonable. I do not want to see you blocked from Wikipedia, as I believe you have much to contribute. I suspect an RfC will be forthcoming, and I hope it will be productive rather than destructive. I will be there to lend my support and advice. Powers 01:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
*Well I am glad you are going to abide by the block but am curious as to how you can edit while blocked - don't answer that for a week please :-) ! Even editing your talk page, notifying the world you are away ... is uncool. Just don't do it.--

Thanks for uploading Image:ScottPlouffe.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

It's like redirecting "Steven" to Steven Spielberg even though there are lots of articles about people with the first name Steven.-- Blackfield 21:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
EFF does correctly point to a disambig, but I noticed you have redirected eff to Euphemism. Just wondering why... I kinda doubt it's a common mispelling :)-- AK7 19:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Deskana deleted it so we could move the page back if we wanted to. I didn't recreate it as I thought we should give it a day or two to see who squeaked. Since no one seems to have a problem with the page move and I've updated the links it's a good time to recreate the redirect - thanks. Sophia 22:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
When I respond, I'll "CC" my talk page with what I've said as well, for convenience sake. :-) The solution that I was working on was to code AD/BC and CE/BCE into templates that can display either, using a Javascript that would allow the user to toggle them back and forth with a click. Next there could be an easy way to set a "default" system via their monobook.js file. Why settle for something half way if it can be both? :-) אמר Steve Caruso ( desk/ poll) 02:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kmart Holiday.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

You have repeatedly ignored or abused policy to push your POV, used sockpuppets, and lied, and your recent edits show no sign of these patterns changing. I have therefore blocked you indefinitely. JoshuaZ 16:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
CiS, I'm disappointed that you used a sockpuppet to evade your block. There are other ways to contact users you feel may be interested in your case. I agree that an indefinite block was completely out of line, but a week for repeated POV-pushing and sockpuppetry seems to be not unreasonable. I do not want to see you blocked from Wikipedia, as I believe you have much to contribute. I suspect an RfC will be forthcoming, and I hope it will be productive rather than destructive. I will be there to lend my support and advice. Powers 01:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
*Well I am glad you are going to abide by the block but am curious as to how you can edit while blocked - don't answer that for a week please :-) ! Even editing your talk page, notifying the world you are away ... is uncool. Just don't do it.--

As per earlier discussions I have filed an RfC regarding your conduct: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/CrazyInSane. JoshuaZ 20:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
It actually needs to be done after the user has accepted their nomination. You can add it to the main RfA page then. -- Pilotguy ( roger that) 18:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
My heartfelt thanks to you, CrazyInSane, for nominating me. However, for a myriad of reasons which I have explained on the request page, I must decline for now. I hope you understand, and thanks again! Powers T 23:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:ScottPlouffe.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Thanks. I do actually have an account, I guess the sign in cookie must have expired and I failed to notice. (The account name is PhennPhawcks)
