Hi I seem to be having trouble implementing the tlh-1 babel entry into my user page. I can see that you have done it successfully in yours. I am not sure what is going wrong with mine. Could I have some help. Unsigned comment by Klingoncowboy4
Hello. I added comments to your usertalk page and edited your userpage to include the template. Feel free to revert the changes. I hope I helped. Deskana 20:47, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
I got is to work. Turns out I got confuesed between Wikipedia and Wikibooks and had to create a Catagory in Wikibooks. Klingoncowboy4 23:07, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi! He has been blocked (not by me though, I'm not an admin yet). In the future, you can report someone like him at WP:AIV or the IRC channel #wikipedia-en-vandalism on Freenode. It's no problem that you reported him to me, but I'm not always around :-) Regards, -- JoanneB 18:31, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
I've used the vandalism report page before but was somewhat afraid of using that one. I thought it was for serious emergencies. Thanks for the heads up! -- Deskana 20:00, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Yeah sure, you can use mine :) - Just plonk this on the user's page: {{subst:User:FireFox/W}} ~~~~ -- Fir e Fo x 11:02, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Just noticed there's another person here on wikipedia crazy enough to work at Subway. btw, do you know what's really in the chicken teriyaki ? Jcam 03:31, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Andrew (manager) tells me simply that its a "Japanese style chicken" and I've never asked Tim (owner) before. I might ask him next time I speak to him! I'm in UK by the way... Deskana 18:07, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
It was a bit of a joke, Deskana. I think teriyaki is really gross. But 'tis good to see Subway representin' on Wikipedia. Jcam 01:53, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Call me Dan... and how can Chicken Teriyaki be gross? It's great! I always get one whenever I have Sundays off... sub of the day! Yeah! Deskana 15:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
I guess maybe it's just me. I'd rather eat haggis. Anyway, good meeting you, and I'll see you around, Dan. BTW, you can call me J. Jcam 23:47, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I'm trying to stomp out attacks and identify the vandals involved in an orchestrated campaign by a far-Right website aimed at substantially POV'ing several Wiki articles that started on 30 December. The user Namr fits the profile to a T, even in specifically attacking the three specific articles mentioned by FreeRepublic:

Great. Cheers! Deskana (talk page) 18:37, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I was trying to just add {{unsigned}} tags for 195.153.219.170 (I guess you already had by the time I saved) and I'm not sure how I ended up overwriting your edit. I don't remember seeing an edit conflict notice, but that's what it must have been since our edits were so close together. Anyway, my apologies. -- Mr. Billion 09:22, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
No need for apologies, my friend! I thought you reverted my comments. Never mind! Deskana (talk page) 18:35, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Deskana, I moved this conversation from WP:AIV. I'll also let LtPowers know so he or she can respond to you here. -- D e ath phoenix 20:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, on the RFR poll, you said "infact, from how Rollback is described, I'd prefer the long way.". Could you explain, I'm not sure what you mean? Thanks, Talrias ( t | e | c) 11:26, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Good job on the changes to the Subway article. Jcam 03:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for getting rid of the bold in the titles for categories, but please don't change the entire context of a section (ex: reverting to old version). I'm writing this for a class and have a specific agenda that involves my own writing style. Thanks for the tip about editing though. I'm not sure why I decided to do it the annoying way instead of previewing. - (Dknoll)
P.S. I wasn't ignoring you, I'm just not too familiar with the wikipedia system so it took me a while to realize I had messages.
Your standard for what makes something 'encyclopedic' seems completely random to me. The reason why i prefer MY version is because it offers a THOROUGH ANALYSIS, without offering opinion. The original version is a bare-bones description that is not adequate in conveying the sense of Richard Weaver as a person in general. Perhaps you are thrown off because of the fact that this 'intro' is more than two lines long. That doesn't, however, make it any less encyclopedic. The removal of any of that information would not provide readers with an accurate picture of Weaver in his totality. I see nothing in the tone that suggests anything other than definition and explanation except for, maybe, the question 'Who was Richard Malcolm Weaver?'. For the sheer fun of it I'll change that to a bland statement. Just for you. Please stop changing that summary, the original is hardly satisfactory.
Yes, i READ that section, and the title of the article is 'Richard M. Weaver' and the first section now starts with 'Richard M. Weaver' and then goes into information. You still haven't explained how the tone is not appropriate. It is all fact based. What in the world are you talking about?
I don't feel as if I'm demeaning you when you gave a vague statement insulting my writing. Now that you've pointed it out, I can see your point about the phrase "in a nutshell." Thanks for that suggestion. I have revised your revision yet again and included some of your suggestions. Please leave it alone now. Sorry if I've come across as rude, but if you want people to change something you have to be specific about why it's 'wrong' without completely ruining the intention.
First of all, I realize that people can edit the page. In fact, any random idiot (note: I'm not saying that's you) could go on and say 'meow meow meow'. That doesn't make their contribution valid. Second, 'If you don't want your writing to be edited...do not submit it'--> remember when I said this is for a class? I appreciate editing for actual mistakes, but when you're being as specific as wording that isn't technically incorrect, what's the point? My writing is just as valid as any other. In fact, there are a number of brilliant philosophers, rhetoricians, writers in general that use more colourful language ('in a nutshell') that doesn't descrease the value of the writing. Readers won't learn any less. Third, I acknowledge anyone has the right to change the article. Please acknowledge that changes for the sake of change (when what is written is perfectly acceptable) are not necissarily a good thing.
I am honestly shocked that you are so concerned with minor phrases when I'm still achieving the wikipedia standard of 'information, not opinion,' and the writing is still done professionally. I'll retract my statement of 'Please leave it alone now,' but really, there are a vast number of articles that are poorly written and horribly opinionated. Mine is not one of them, and since you do have generally good suggestions you could put yourself to better use. Sincerely, Dknoll
I made sure to copy my original for the class, so that won't be an issue. I'll be sure to avoid colloquial phrases in the future to sound more like an encyclopedia. I do like your other changes (title under picture, getting rid of extra spaces). It's hard to stay mad at you. I suppose it's easy for people to get defensive about something they've written themselves, but hopefully the final changes are more appropriate in tone now. Thanks, D.
Hello Deskana,
I am webmaster of www.keyraweboficial.com (Official Web of Agustina Keyra).
First my level of English is not good, I'm sorry, but Agustina and I only spoke Spanish.
I go to tell you the arguments in bennefit of www.keyraweboficial.com:
1. - The information of the article is inexact. Agustina likes modelling, but in another time, before it wants to finish the University.
2. - Publicity in the Web is null, only for paid hosting, also we go to donate certainly cuantity of this money to one ONG, but this is a little irrelevant here.
3. - When Agustina returns of vacations (in Argentina it is summer), we will add to the Web inedit photos (I hope that you create to me then).
4.-Posibility of contacting with her in the Web.
5. - I talk Graemel (another administrator), so that he helped me with the IP that your you have been blocking for days http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GraemeL#Help_the_Official_Web_of_Agustina_Keyra
6. - If you want I can give you the MSN of Agustina Keyra, but as I already said she to you single Spanish speech.
7. - If you eliminate the link www.keyraweboficial.com, you eliminate the possibility of all the Wikipedians to contacting with Agustina Keyra. If this occurs Wikipedia and Wikipedians lose. :)
Visit www.keyraweboficial.com if you like... and comprobate this.
Greetings and thank you. Bye. TDCi 00:19, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I did a mistake : I wanted to say near-deaf (former minister Bachelot annonced that two years ago, there were a lot of jokes about the fact there were some demonstrations and he wasn't able to hear...) ; but I corrected someone who had written gay politician instead. Sorry for my bad english tonight, I'm quite tired, but I'm not a vandal... ;-) Gangel 02:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I genuinely have no knowledge of a previous afd nomination for Can't Sleep, etc, and my nomiation is not out of malice. All the best. Gretnagod 21:59, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
On a number line, zero is a placeholder. When timelines/calendars are created, such as in our reality, the year 1 BC is followed by the year 1 AD. The same goes for BBY / ABY. Although Obi Wan Kenobi did not die more than 1 year before the Battle of Yavin, he did die before it, thus placing his death during the year 1 BBY.
Your response is not logical. No one, not in the Star Wars Universe, not in ours, would design a calendar with a year identified as "zero". Zero means nothing, is not actually a number, and you cannot have a year nothing. In order to have a seamless timeline, despite the use of the BBY / ABY classification, there cannot be any gap - which the use of the concept of zero would seem to indicate. In other words, saying something happened in the year zero is like saying it did not happen. It is my hope by bringing this up that the other folks with the other sites - aside from the numerous Wiki hits - on Google will start to correct this illogical inaccuracy.

Regarding your comment on this article in AFC. An AFD with a delete result doesn't necessarily mean no article should ever be created. It only shows concensus this particular article should not exist, rewriting it with different content in accordance with policy could yield an article which is acceptable. - Mgm| (talk) 10:24, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Please explain to Rob that formal warnings are serious (see Jesus talk page). I'm tired having him abuse others and intend to pursue this through formal means if needed.-- CTSWyneken 12:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Well I did explain the methods for reporting user-misconduct on your talk page. You've yet to follow them through. If you believe what you're saying, I strongly suggest you open some Requests for Comment against the users you believe have done wrong. Deskana (talk) 17:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Because you have been involved in the Talk:Jesus conflict, I would humbly request that you view this section on Rob Steadman's talk page concerning the recent war that has transpired. I do ask that you do not edit or add to / add comment to this material for the sake of clarity and conciseness. You are free to leave any comments on my talk page if you so desire. Thank you. -- Avery W. Krouse 00:41, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Dear Deskana, I have no intention of beginning an edit war. Str1977 11:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
The problem is there is a small group of editors from a pro"christian" POV trying to restrict edits by anyone who require verifiability and fact. They have tried to scupper other articles and are acting beyond the policies and principles of WP. Their edits are unencyclopedic and give a heavily skewed POV rather than actual fact. They have bullied at least one editor from WP and seem intent on getting others blocked or simply to give up. It is shameful. Robsteadman 11:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
If you ahve time could you look at Jesus-Myth and the behaviour of KHM03 - pushing a POV, reverting accurate and verifiable entries to make their POVseem right - I know I have made more than 3 reverts in 24 hours, but they have done more - and for non_WP purposes! Robsteadman 13:00, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
In 24 hours you have made more than 3 - and you are pushing a POV by trying to put a slant on these scholars who are known to have published works in the fields I have added. Stop POV pushing - you are breaking one of the basic principles of WP> Robsteadman 13:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Here are your reverts:
(cur) (last) 12:57, 20 February 2006 KHM03 (restoring accurate, precise version; my third & final revert forn the day here...please see talk page)
(cur) (last) 12:52, 20 February 2006 KHM03 (restored accurate version; see talk page)
(cur) (last) 12:38, 20 February 2006 KHM03 (rv to accurate NPOV version...Rob, why are you afraid to be precise? please discuss on talk page before reverting again...thanks)
(cur) (last) 20:45, 19 February 2006 KHM03 (rv; a person's training & education has EVERYTHING to do with their expertise...please cite actual historians and NT scholars if you want any listed here)
(cur) (last) 20:40, 19 February 2006 KHM03 (→Background - changed Gandy's label to "mystery religions"...his degree is in this specific area, and precisely the pagan elements of these religions, not in "Western religion" in general)
(cur) (last) 20:37, 19 February 2006 KHM03 (rm NT scholar label from Wells...he has no training or expertise in that area...let's be precise)
All reverts - full or partial. All within 24 hours. All pushing a POV. All trying to belittle the scholarship of those you choose not to "beleive". Robsteadman 13:14, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
There is an easy resolution - tell teh truth and stop pushing your POV by trying to slant the facts. They were NOT legitimate edits - they were full or part reverts to push a POV. Robsteadman 13:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
No problem... just so you know, the Jesus-Myth page is likely to be protected due to edit-warring. Shall talk about this on the talk page of Jesus-Myth. Deskana (talk) 13:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
I see you noticed I put the paragraph in place. Thanks for fixing the typo. I also need wiki links set and it would be helpful to have you chime in on my most recent post to the talk page. (hmmm... that sound like a professor.... )Thanks! -- CTSWyneken 14:23, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
In fact you can search the history page to see who first created an entry. Of course, we should encourage people to sign, but it's not impossible to create an article if they don't. - Mgm| (talk) 12:17, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I noticed on someone's page you talked about users being "punished" for doing wrong. I don't think we do this, I think we restrain them from continuing to disrupt. Do you agree? Regards, Rich Farmbrough. 12:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you added a "welcome" message to the talk page for User talk: Arrowboy 89. I assume you used some kind of template, so I thought you might want to know there is a grammatical error in it. After mentioning the helpme template, it should read "someone should be along to help you" rather than "someone should be a long to help you". wrp103 (Bill Pringle) 19:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to remove the images. Jedi6 22:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Just a reminder: do not respond to Rob at all if he repeats old arguments or gets abusive. If he changes a consensus paragraph, revert it. Keep track of your reverts and only do it twice. If we can do this, nothing will come of it except frustration for Rob. -- CTSWyneken 20:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Ah, if only the world were as simple as one quick lightsabre sweep to the mid-neck area. I am going to remove Talk:Jesus and all related participles from my watchlist. Would you be so kind as to alert me in the event that either my name is dragged into the mud or Rob is dragged away, kicking and screaming, from Wikipedia once and for all (or at least for an extended time)? I would be much obliged! -- Avery W. Krouse 23:18, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
I think we're approaching a resolution of this matter. Please come and vote. -- CTSWyneken 15:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Someone using an anonymous IP address at your college vandalised Robsteadman's user page twice today placing references to homosexuality and Jesus. What do you think rational minds such as mine would conclude from this fact? SOPHIA 12:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
See [1] if you have anything to say. Gator (talk) 14:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Sophia has investgated and found enough evidence to make a complaint. SOPHIA 18:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the message on my talk page reminding me to remain civil. I would be interested to know what incivility I have committed that made such a reminder necessary. SOPHIA 23:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation - it's worth knowing that that isn't how it reads. Written conversations are prone to misunderstandings so it's worth taking the time to re read before you post. SOPHIA 23:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to say that I felt sorry for you in the recent vandalism allegations. There has been a lot of bad behavior and a lot of suspicion flying around lately; unfortunately the two do not always correlate. BTW, why do you list your height as "not known"? How can you not know how tall you are? I'm 6'4" myself. Arch O. La 10:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, Deskana, to see the haste with which your use of a public IP address is being seen as proof that you carried out that vandalism. I won't use the phrase "give you the benefit of the doubt", because that would suggest that there was some doubt in my mind — and there isn't. I've never known a case before where people on Wikipedia were calling for blocks against a user with a good record based on such flimsy evidence. Personally, I don't expect that this would make any difference in an RfA, provided you didn't go straight into one tomorrow. Best of luck, anyway. AnnH ♫ 18:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for voting on my RfA, it passed with a final tally of 68/0/0 so I'm now an administrator. If there's anything I can do to help, you feel I've done something wrong, or there's just something you want to tell, don't hesitate to use my talk page. Thanks. - Bobet 10:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Hopefully the last for this paragraph. -- CTSWyneken 11:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I had to laugh at your jibe about neutral votes with no comment. I got two of those on my RFA and they were very frustrating. Of course, I held my tongue at the time, but now I can say it - if you're so unswayed that you don't even have a comment to make, why bother voting? Seems like a waste of time to me. Oh well. -- kingboyk 21:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Grand Moff! When you create an article from an AFC submission with a listed source, it's usually best to list that source in the article too. Also, nearly all of Gedalia Schorr appears to be a copyvio from its listed source, but I wanted to check with you before listing it for deletion. These are minor things – keep up the good work, and please, please keep helping-out at AFC. We're swamped. × Meegs 15:06, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

When did I impersonate you? I wrote my name! I copied and pasted the format for yours and I accidentally put the link to your name but I edited it out within less than 5 minutes and put the link to my page instead! Why are you being so mean about it? You could have just been nice and edited it so that it linked to my page. You didn't need to threaten to kick me off of here! Good grief!

regarding the following: Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with the Jacques Chirac page on Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, thanks, and we hope that you will like Wikipedia. -- His Imposingness, the Grand Moff Deskana (talk) 11:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I didn't test, Jacques Chirac was listed as an monarch while he is a president, so I removed him from that list. I reverted the change when I found out that he actually does have an andorrean monarch title.

I would NEVER question whether or not Yoda had any darks side tendencies. I was instead questioning what I thought was a poor "adage" by the author...I think Yoda would NEVER have said "Not Interested in fair am I...Interested in results," as the book had him saying. I was not criticizing Master Yoda...but rather the author, Sean Stuart. Thanks for your reply- Evan
The user you were sympathising with on Rob's page is a single issue "get Rob" account (check the contributions for your self) who's first edit after a 5 month break was sarcasm on Rob's page. Whatever your personal feelings towards Rob this is not what wikipedia is for. Pansy Brandybuck AKA Sophia Talk TCF 22:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Sophia, your comments are quite inaccurate. Bakewell Tart did leave a message on Rob's page, but only because Rob is using the conventions about talk pages and user pages to make personal attacks on other editors. He has been asked to remove these politely but just deletes the requests. So, to refer to this as 'sarcasm' is a bit misleading. Don't you think that it was quite reasonable to refute an inaccurate statement, placed with the sole intention of causing offence? Count Of The Saxon Shore 00:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Aplogies to the Total War franchise (even though, having had over a £100 from me, they owe me an image or two). I wasn't aware of the rules until you gave me a heads up. I was tempted to use one of the images from Wikimedia to replace it, but, to be honest, I'm not that fond of user pages that are more about the user than how they will work within Wikipedia. I'd already removed most of the bio/fan material already. So, no worries. Count Of The Saxon Shore 00:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Deskana. Rob keeps saying that you admitted doing nothing about the vandalism, when you knew it was there. Can you give me a link to read that. I don't remember you saying that. The vandalism was reverted within minutes, anyway. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 20:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was writing to Rob while you were writing to me, and my message to him got caught in an edit conflict while he was archiving. So, you probably realize now that I have made that request, quite spontaneously. Maybe hold off the RfC for a little longer, and see how he responds in the meantime. I always feel they shouldn't be filed unless it's clear that all other methods have failed or will fail. But I think in this case it's getting close to the stage when an RfC is called for. See also here. It would be nice if he could acknowledge that you were quite active in helping him yesterday. AnnH ♫ 13:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Deskana, don't accuse me of vandalism for an alteration on the Yoda page. He was listed as unknown, so I said that he was a Dagobite - WITH the stipulation that it was actually unknown, but that this was a fair assumption at least in terms of him being a Dagobite through refugee status.

I'm just wondering what you will do if someone actually finds a citation. I am, however, saddened to see that Deskana has joined the Sith. Grigory Deepdelver AKA Arch O. La Talk TCF 09:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Deskana - I really do think you are a good productive wikipedian too. Things will happen but my way of dealing with them is to quickly find out all the facts - learn whatever lessons there are to be learned and then move on. I hate "running sores" with things dragging on and people bearing grudges. I meant what I said about not mentioning the issue again - I may like to get things clear but if they are irrelevant because the problem never happens again (as I'm sure it won't) then I never stitch someone up. I may be a pain sometimes but it will always be in the open and if I'm wrong I hope I'm big enough to say so!

I got is to work. Turns out I got confuesed between Wikipedia and Wikibooks and had to create a Catagory in Wikibooks. Klingoncowboy4 23:07, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi! He has been blocked (not by me though, I'm not an admin yet). In the future, you can report someone like him at WP:AIV or the IRC channel #wikipedia-en-vandalism on Freenode. It's no problem that you reported him to me, but I'm not always around :-) Regards, -- JoanneB 18:31, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
I've used the vandalism report page before but was somewhat afraid of using that one. I thought it was for serious emergencies. Thanks for the heads up! -- Deskana 20:00, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Just noticed there's another person here on wikipedia crazy enough to work at Subway. btw, do you know what's really in the chicken teriyaki ? Jcam 03:31, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Andrew (manager) tells me simply that its a "Japanese style chicken" and I've never asked Tim (owner) before. I might ask him next time I speak to him! I'm in UK by the way... Deskana 18:07, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
It was a bit of a joke, Deskana. I think teriyaki is really gross. But 'tis good to see Subway representin' on Wikipedia. Jcam 01:53, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Call me Dan... and how can Chicken Teriyaki be gross? It's great! I always get one whenever I have Sundays off... sub of the day! Yeah! Deskana 15:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
I guess maybe it's just me. I'd rather eat haggis. Anyway, good meeting you, and I'll see you around, Dan. BTW, you can call me J. Jcam 23:47, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I'm trying to stomp out attacks and identify the vandals involved in an orchestrated campaign by a far-Right website aimed at substantially POV'ing several Wiki articles that started on 30 December. The user Namr fits the profile to a T, even in specifically attacking the three specific articles mentioned by FreeRepublic:

Great. Cheers! Deskana (talk page) 18:37, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I was trying to just add {{unsigned}} tags for 195.153.219.170 (I guess you already had by the time I saved) and I'm not sure how I ended up overwriting your edit. I don't remember seeing an edit conflict notice, but that's what it must have been since our edits were so close together. Anyway, my apologies. -- Mr. Billion 09:22, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
No need for apologies, my friend! I thought you reverted my comments. Never mind! Deskana (talk page) 18:35, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Deskana, I moved this conversation from WP:AIV. I'll also let LtPowers know so he or she can respond to you here. -- D e ath phoenix 20:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, on the RFR poll, you said "infact, from how Rollback is described, I'd prefer the long way.". Could you explain, I'm not sure what you mean? Thanks, Talrias ( t | e | c) 11:26, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Good job on the changes to the Subway article. Jcam 03:35, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for getting rid of the bold in the titles for categories, but please don't change the entire context of a section (ex: reverting to old version). I'm writing this for a class and have a specific agenda that involves my own writing style. Thanks for the tip about editing though. I'm not sure why I decided to do it the annoying way instead of previewing. - (Dknoll)
P.S. I wasn't ignoring you, I'm just not too familiar with the wikipedia system so it took me a while to realize I had messages.
Your standard for what makes something 'encyclopedic' seems completely random to me. The reason why i prefer MY version is because it offers a THOROUGH ANALYSIS, without offering opinion. The original version is a bare-bones description that is not adequate in conveying the sense of Richard Weaver as a person in general. Perhaps you are thrown off because of the fact that this 'intro' is more than two lines long. That doesn't, however, make it any less encyclopedic. The removal of any of that information would not provide readers with an accurate picture of Weaver in his totality. I see nothing in the tone that suggests anything other than definition and explanation except for, maybe, the question 'Who was Richard Malcolm Weaver?'. For the sheer fun of it I'll change that to a bland statement. Just for you. Please stop changing that summary, the original is hardly satisfactory.
Yes, i READ that section, and the title of the article is 'Richard M. Weaver' and the first section now starts with 'Richard M. Weaver' and then goes into information. You still haven't explained how the tone is not appropriate. It is all fact based. What in the world are you talking about?
I don't feel as if I'm demeaning you when you gave a vague statement insulting my writing. Now that you've pointed it out, I can see your point about the phrase "in a nutshell." Thanks for that suggestion. I have revised your revision yet again and included some of your suggestions. Please leave it alone now. Sorry if I've come across as rude, but if you want people to change something you have to be specific about why it's 'wrong' without completely ruining the intention.
First of all, I realize that people can edit the page. In fact, any random idiot (note: I'm not saying that's you) could go on and say 'meow meow meow'. That doesn't make their contribution valid. Second, 'If you don't want your writing to be edited...do not submit it'--> remember when I said this is for a class? I appreciate editing for actual mistakes, but when you're being as specific as wording that isn't technically incorrect, what's the point? My writing is just as valid as any other. In fact, there are a number of brilliant philosophers, rhetoricians, writers in general that use more colourful language ('in a nutshell') that doesn't descrease the value of the writing. Readers won't learn any less. Third, I acknowledge anyone has the right to change the article. Please acknowledge that changes for the sake of change (when what is written is perfectly acceptable) are not necissarily a good thing.
I am honestly shocked that you are so concerned with minor phrases when I'm still achieving the wikipedia standard of 'information, not opinion,' and the writing is still done professionally. I'll retract my statement of 'Please leave it alone now,' but really, there are a vast number of articles that are poorly written and horribly opinionated. Mine is not one of them, and since you do have generally good suggestions you could put yourself to better use. Sincerely, Dknoll
I made sure to copy my original for the class, so that won't be an issue. I'll be sure to avoid colloquial phrases in the future to sound more like an encyclopedia. I do like your other changes (title under picture, getting rid of extra spaces). It's hard to stay mad at you. I suppose it's easy for people to get defensive about something they've written themselves, but hopefully the final changes are more appropriate in tone now. Thanks, D.
Hello Deskana,
I am webmaster of www.keyraweboficial.com (Official Web of Agustina Keyra).
First my level of English is not good, I'm sorry, but Agustina and I only spoke Spanish.
I go to tell you the arguments in bennefit of www.keyraweboficial.com:
1. - The information of the article is inexact. Agustina likes modelling, but in another time, before it wants to finish the University.
2. - Publicity in the Web is null, only for paid hosting, also we go to donate certainly cuantity of this money to one ONG, but this is a little irrelevant here.
3. - When Agustina returns of vacations (in Argentina it is summer), we will add to the Web inedit photos (I hope that you create to me then).
4.-Posibility of contacting with her in the Web.
5. - I talk Graemel (another administrator), so that he helped me with the IP that your you have been blocking for days http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GraemeL#Help_the_Official_Web_of_Agustina_Keyra
6. - If you want I can give you the MSN of Agustina Keyra, but as I already said she to you single Spanish speech.
7. - If you eliminate the link www.keyraweboficial.com, you eliminate the possibility of all the Wikipedians to contacting with Agustina Keyra. If this occurs Wikipedia and Wikipedians lose. :)
Visit www.keyraweboficial.com if you like... and comprobate this.
Greetings and thank you. Bye. TDCi 00:19, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I did a mistake : I wanted to say near-deaf (former minister Bachelot annonced that two years ago, there were a lot of jokes about the fact there were some demonstrations and he wasn't able to hear...) ; but I corrected someone who had written gay politician instead. Sorry for my bad english tonight, I'm quite tired, but I'm not a vandal... ;-) Gangel 02:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I genuinely have no knowledge of a previous afd nomination for Can't Sleep, etc, and my nomiation is not out of malice. All the best. Gretnagod 21:59, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
On a number line, zero is a placeholder. When timelines/calendars are created, such as in our reality, the year 1 BC is followed by the year 1 AD. The same goes for BBY / ABY. Although Obi Wan Kenobi did not die more than 1 year before the Battle of Yavin, he did die before it, thus placing his death during the year 1 BBY.
Your response is not logical. No one, not in the Star Wars Universe, not in ours, would design a calendar with a year identified as "zero". Zero means nothing, is not actually a number, and you cannot have a year nothing. In order to have a seamless timeline, despite the use of the BBY / ABY classification, there cannot be any gap - which the use of the concept of zero would seem to indicate. In other words, saying something happened in the year zero is like saying it did not happen. It is my hope by bringing this up that the other folks with the other sites - aside from the numerous Wiki hits - on Google will start to correct this illogical inaccuracy.

Regarding your comment on this article in AFC. An AFD with a delete result doesn't necessarily mean no article should ever be created. It only shows concensus this particular article should not exist, rewriting it with different content in accordance with policy could yield an article which is acceptable. - Mgm| (talk) 10:24, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Please explain to Rob that formal warnings are serious (see Jesus talk page). I'm tired having him abuse others and intend to pursue this through formal means if needed.-- CTSWyneken 12:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Well I did explain the methods for reporting user-misconduct on your talk page. You've yet to follow them through. If you believe what you're saying, I strongly suggest you open some Requests for Comment against the users you believe have done wrong. Deskana (talk) 17:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Because you have been involved in the Talk:Jesus conflict, I would humbly request that you view this section on Rob Steadman's talk page concerning the recent war that has transpired. I do ask that you do not edit or add to / add comment to this material for the sake of clarity and conciseness. You are free to leave any comments on my talk page if you so desire. Thank you. -- Avery W. Krouse 00:41, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Dear Deskana, I have no intention of beginning an edit war. Str1977 11:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
The problem is there is a small group of editors from a pro"christian" POV trying to restrict edits by anyone who require verifiability and fact. They have tried to scupper other articles and are acting beyond the policies and principles of WP. Their edits are unencyclopedic and give a heavily skewed POV rather than actual fact. They have bullied at least one editor from WP and seem intent on getting others blocked or simply to give up. It is shameful. Robsteadman 11:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
If you ahve time could you look at Jesus-Myth and the behaviour of KHM03 - pushing a POV, reverting accurate and verifiable entries to make their POVseem right - I know I have made more than 3 reverts in 24 hours, but they have done more - and for non_WP purposes! Robsteadman 13:00, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
In 24 hours you have made more than 3 - and you are pushing a POV by trying to put a slant on these scholars who are known to have published works in the fields I have added. Stop POV pushing - you are breaking one of the basic principles of WP> Robsteadman 13:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Here are your reverts:
(cur) (last) 12:57, 20 February 2006 KHM03 (restoring accurate, precise version; my third & final revert forn the day here...please see talk page)
(cur) (last) 12:52, 20 February 2006 KHM03 (restored accurate version; see talk page)
(cur) (last) 12:38, 20 February 2006 KHM03 (rv to accurate NPOV version...Rob, why are you afraid to be precise? please discuss on talk page before reverting again...thanks)
(cur) (last) 20:45, 19 February 2006 KHM03 (rv; a person's training & education has EVERYTHING to do with their expertise...please cite actual historians and NT scholars if you want any listed here)
(cur) (last) 20:40, 19 February 2006 KHM03 (→Background - changed Gandy's label to "mystery religions"...his degree is in this specific area, and precisely the pagan elements of these religions, not in "Western religion" in general)
(cur) (last) 20:37, 19 February 2006 KHM03 (rm NT scholar label from Wells...he has no training or expertise in that area...let's be precise)
All reverts - full or partial. All within 24 hours. All pushing a POV. All trying to belittle the scholarship of those you choose not to "beleive". Robsteadman 13:14, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
There is an easy resolution - tell teh truth and stop pushing your POV by trying to slant the facts. They were NOT legitimate edits - they were full or part reverts to push a POV. Robsteadman 13:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
No problem... just so you know, the Jesus-Myth page is likely to be protected due to edit-warring. Shall talk about this on the talk page of Jesus-Myth. Deskana (talk) 13:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
I see you noticed I put the paragraph in place. Thanks for fixing the typo. I also need wiki links set and it would be helpful to have you chime in on my most recent post to the talk page. (hmmm... that sound like a professor.... )Thanks! -- CTSWyneken 14:23, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
In fact you can search the history page to see who first created an entry. Of course, we should encourage people to sign, but it's not impossible to create an article if they don't. - Mgm| (talk) 12:17, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I noticed on someone's page you talked about users being "punished" for doing wrong. I don't think we do this, I think we restrain them from continuing to disrupt. Do you agree? Regards, Rich Farmbrough. 12:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you added a "welcome" message to the talk page for User talk: Arrowboy 89. I assume you used some kind of template, so I thought you might want to know there is a grammatical error in it. After mentioning the helpme template, it should read "someone should be along to help you" rather than "someone should be a long to help you". wrp103 (Bill Pringle) 19:42, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to remove the images. Jedi6 22:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Just a reminder: do not respond to Rob at all if he repeats old arguments or gets abusive. If he changes a consensus paragraph, revert it. Keep track of your reverts and only do it twice. If we can do this, nothing will come of it except frustration for Rob. -- CTSWyneken 20:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Ah, if only the world were as simple as one quick lightsabre sweep to the mid-neck area. I am going to remove Talk:Jesus and all related participles from my watchlist. Would you be so kind as to alert me in the event that either my name is dragged into the mud or Rob is dragged away, kicking and screaming, from Wikipedia once and for all (or at least for an extended time)? I would be much obliged! -- Avery W. Krouse 23:18, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
I think we're approaching a resolution of this matter. Please come and vote. -- CTSWyneken 15:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Someone using an anonymous IP address at your college vandalised Robsteadman's user page twice today placing references to homosexuality and Jesus. What do you think rational minds such as mine would conclude from this fact? SOPHIA 12:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Sophia has investgated and found enough evidence to make a complaint. SOPHIA 18:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the message on my talk page reminding me to remain civil. I would be interested to know what incivility I have committed that made such a reminder necessary. SOPHIA 23:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation - it's worth knowing that that isn't how it reads. Written conversations are prone to misunderstandings so it's worth taking the time to re read before you post. SOPHIA 23:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to say that I felt sorry for you in the recent vandalism allegations. There has been a lot of bad behavior and a lot of suspicion flying around lately; unfortunately the two do not always correlate. BTW, why do you list your height as "not known"? How can you not know how tall you are? I'm 6'4" myself. Arch O. La 10:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, Deskana, to see the haste with which your use of a public IP address is being seen as proof that you carried out that vandalism. I won't use the phrase "give you the benefit of the doubt", because that would suggest that there was some doubt in my mind — and there isn't. I've never known a case before where people on Wikipedia were calling for blocks against a user with a good record based on such flimsy evidence. Personally, I don't expect that this would make any difference in an RfA, provided you didn't go straight into one tomorrow. Best of luck, anyway. AnnH ♫ 18:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for voting on my RfA, it passed with a final tally of 68/0/0 so I'm now an administrator. If there's anything I can do to help, you feel I've done something wrong, or there's just something you want to tell, don't hesitate to use my talk page. Thanks. - Bobet 10:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Hopefully the last for this paragraph. -- CTSWyneken 11:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I had to laugh at your jibe about neutral votes with no comment. I got two of those on my RFA and they were very frustrating. Of course, I held my tongue at the time, but now I can say it - if you're so unswayed that you don't even have a comment to make, why bother voting? Seems like a waste of time to me. Oh well. -- kingboyk 21:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Grand Moff! When you create an article from an AFC submission with a listed source, it's usually best to list that source in the article too. Also, nearly all of Gedalia Schorr appears to be a copyvio from its listed source, but I wanted to check with you before listing it for deletion. These are minor things – keep up the good work, and please, please keep helping-out at AFC. We're swamped. × Meegs 15:06, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I copied and pasted the format for yours and I accidentally put the link to your name but I edited it out within less than 5 minutes and put the link to my page instead!

regarding the following: Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with the Jacques Chirac page on Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, thanks, and we hope that you will like Wikipedia. -- His Imposingness, the Grand Moff Deskana (talk) 11:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I didn't test, Jacques Chirac was listed as an monarch while he is a president, so I removed him from that list. I reverted the change when I found out that he actually does have an andorrean monarch title.

I would NEVER question whether or not Yoda had any darks side tendencies. I was instead questioning what I thought was a poor "adage" by the author...I think Yoda would NEVER have said "Not Interested in fair am I...Interested in results," as the book had him saying. I was not criticizing Master Yoda...but rather the author, Sean Stuart. Thanks for your reply- Evan
The user you were sympathising with on Rob's page is a single issue "get Rob" account (check the contributions for your self) who's first edit after a 5 month break was sarcasm on Rob's page. Whatever your personal feelings towards Rob this is not what wikipedia is for. Pansy Brandybuck AKA Sophia Talk TCF 22:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Sophia, your comments are quite inaccurate. Bakewell Tart did leave a message on Rob's page, but only because Rob is using the conventions about talk pages and user pages to make personal attacks on other editors. He has been asked to remove these politely but just deletes the requests. So, to refer to this as 'sarcasm' is a bit misleading. Don't you think that it was quite reasonable to refute an inaccurate statement, placed with the sole intention of causing offence? Count Of The Saxon Shore 00:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Aplogies to the Total War franchise (even though, having had over a £100 from me, they owe me an image or two). I wasn't aware of the rules until you gave me a heads up. I was tempted to use one of the images from Wikimedia to replace it, but, to be honest, I'm not that fond of user pages that are more about the user than how they will work within Wikipedia. I'd already removed most of the bio/fan material already. So, no worries. Count Of The Saxon Shore 00:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Deskana. Rob keeps saying that you admitted doing nothing about the vandalism, when you knew it was there. Can you give me a link to read that. I don't remember you saying that. The vandalism was reverted within minutes, anyway. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 20:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was writing to Rob while you were writing to me, and my message to him got caught in an edit conflict while he was archiving. So, you probably realize now that I have made that request, quite spontaneously. Maybe hold off the RfC for a little longer, and see how he responds in the meantime. I always feel they shouldn't be filed unless it's clear that all other methods have failed or will fail. But I think in this case it's getting close to the stage when an RfC is called for. See also here. It would be nice if he could acknowledge that you were quite active in helping him yesterday. AnnH ♫ 13:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Deskana, don't accuse me of vandalism for an alteration on the Yoda page. He was listed as unknown, so I said that he was a Dagobite - WITH the stipulation that it was actually unknown, but that this was a fair assumption at least in terms of him being a Dagobite through refugee status.

I'm just wondering what you will do if someone actually finds a citation. I am, however, saddened to see that Deskana has joined the Sith. Grigory Deepdelver AKA Arch O. La Talk TCF 09:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Deskana - I really do think you are a good productive wikipedian too. Things will happen but my way of dealing with them is to quickly find out all the facts - learn whatever lessons there are to be learned and then move on. I hate "running sores" with things dragging on and people bearing grudges. I meant what I said about not mentioning the issue again - I may like to get things clear but if they are irrelevant because the problem never happens again (as I'm sure it won't) then I never stitch someone up. I may be a pain sometimes but it will always be in the open and if I'm wrong I hope I'm big enough to say so! If you go into computing it's the best way to be as if you screw up as a system manager everyone knows about it! Pansy Brandybuck AKA Sophia Talk TCF 11:01, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
