Thank you fro deleting that content. I myself do as little deletion as possible to avoid aggravating people, but most of that trivia stuff really did need deletion, and I am glad there was somebody on hand to do so. TheGreenFaerae 00:19, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Coincidences are not necessarily OR. When enough of a coincidence, something might be deemed interesting enough for inclusion in an article just as we include trivia, etc. Your statement to me "There are lots of coincidences out there; they don't all need to be in wikipedia." is noxious amazing. Did you detect an attempt on my part to include all coincidences in Wikipedia? Of course not. You don't think this coincidence warrants inclusion. I do. You care way more about this than I do, so you can have your way. There’s a nice way to do things and there’s your way. I've dealt with you before and I think you are a great bossy prick who wants to order everyone around a round like you do your students and your soldiers down in Virginia -- but of course not your underage students. Unlike them, I express my thoughts to you without any real repercussions. Bitches Bitchin' guys like you are the reason I scarcely contribute any more -- I just can't keep up. You I bore me. Now go ahead and leave a civility warning on my talk page or whatever makes you feel tough sinewy. You may write me some huffy response, or better yet, a hyper-professional sounding one most favored by the jerkiest juiciest Wikipedians. Either way, I won’t read it.--

Please stop calling me names like "wingnut", "fanboy", and "sockpuppet" in these discussions about the Starfleet articles. It is uncivil and violates WP:NPA. I am trying to have a professional conversation to improve these articles and we should work together. I have not written a single insulting or uncivil thing towards you yet you persist in this behavior. Please stop. - 38.119.112.187 16:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
All of that which you said above has absolutely nothing to do with the articles we are discussing and still gives you no right to be uncivil in conversations and refer to me as a "fanboy". And you now have apparently exposed the fact of where I am editing from, something which I did not wish to even come into this. Can we focus on these articles instead of this? There is no way you can prove who I am without coming to where I am and catching me on the computer. Likewise, you could be telling lies about being an english teacher and an Army officer, since there really is no proof of this on Wikipedia. Yet, I would not stand here and call you a liar like you have done above. But, since you have stated you believe I am this other user, let me leave you then with this quote, directly out of Wikipedia policy:
It is as unacceptable to attack a user with a history of foolish or boorish behavior, or even one who has been subject to disciplinary action by the Arbitration Committee, as it is to attack any other user. Wikipedia encourages a positive online community: people make mistakes, but they are encouraged to learn from them and change their ways. Personal attacks are contrary to this spirit and damaging to the work of building an encyclopedia.
Until next time. - 38.119.112.188 07:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
So that gives you the right to break WP:NPA, WP:CIV, call me a liar, and refuse to compromise about articles. Yes, I see how you operate. - 38.119.112.187 11:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear Sir- To answer your question, the ip addresses to which you are posting messages are used by a public computer lab in the city of Dubai. We use both American and Arab servers, with our Arab server counterpart under the several ips, among them User:195.229.242.84. Please be aware that messages you post are visible to many different people, including American service members. We are fully aware that this account has been used by people to cause problems on Wikipedia and monitor such activity very closely. We ask established Wikipedia users to avoid inflaming the situation by posting negative or harsh messages to these ip addresses. If you experience a policy violation or a threatening post from someone at this address, please alert us and we will investigate at once. Thank you! - 38.119.112.187 04:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Dude, this bullshit about “every single ip address posting from the Middle East who makes a change related to an article that Husnock once worked on must therefore be Husnock” is getting real old and real stupid. I’ve watched you and others bash into these ip addresses which are spread across the Middle East from Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia screaming that they are all Husnock and he has returned to disrupt Wikipedia. What nonsense. Are you really a United States Army officer? Yet you would harass someone who is stationed in the Middle East? What the fuck?!? If someone is a sockpuppet then report his ass. If you don’t have proof let it rest. And that goes for your friend 38.199 who keeps on talking about this. He might very well be Husnock, but the point is YOU WILL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE. So why make such a big deal? Let it go and lets all get back to editing. - 213.42.21.79 11:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I was wonderng how much you know about this site. I looked around over there and didn't see near the amount of rules and regulations compared to Wikipedia.

Any thoughts? - OberRanks 09:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
If you have 5 minutes to spare could have a quick look at my user page and tell me why two of userboxes are not working. "This user enjoys reggae" can't be impossible to do, please? Thanking you. SmokeyTheCat 16:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I noticed similar headings under the characters "D. Wire Newman" and "Arnold Vinick" comparing the first to Jimmy Carter and the second to John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Barry Goldwater. These articles cited no sources, so I didn't think that was an issue. The whole point of these these characters is that they're unspoken but understood associations with real life characters, which is why there's no credit in the episode saying, "Jimmy Carter, played as D. Wire Newman".
Both "toward" and "towards" are acceptable in the United States. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.145.134 ( talk • contribs)
Mike Okuda was wrong about some of the designs and the pictures of the pins are actually more accurate as they are in exact accordance with Robert Fletcher's notes and they were done by the same person that did them for the movies. Okuda got the coloring off on some of the pins (ex. the "hats" of the enlisted were not gold), the Admiral graphic is WAY off, and the rank of Petty Officer 2nd class is missing entirely. Try looking at this page to see what I am talking about:

Was there a AfD on this? I thought it was considered for deletion (not sure if a formal AfD) but it was saved and vastly expanded. VK35 18:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
You need to cite proper rationale for deletion; which I did not see. BTW I didn't remove any user comments. Thank You FrankWilliams 19:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I've said it and I'll repeat. I don't consider you "the other side" or that this is a true content dispute.

If we don't redirect, how do we keep Nitrium in the Category:Star Trek materials list? If there is a redirect, then Nitrium will be listed in that category list. VK35 22:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Because the data wasn't merged with the other article that you suppose to. And because the information is important enough to be in an encyclopedia; so either merge all of it or leave the article alone. FrankWilliams 18:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed these earlier, I see you have replaced them. I may have missed previous correspondence on this point, so sorry if this is going over old ground. But do these abbreviations really justify inclusion? I have never heard of any of the six films being referred to by these acronyms. Even if they are used by a niche group of fans, why does that warrant a mention at the start of each article? What some fans happen to call the films is a mere point of trivia, isn't it? 11:51, 26 May 2007 193.63.62.252
Thanks - I have just axed them again. I hadn't actually noticed how unreliably sourced they were, they just felt out of place. If the article on Tony Blair said in the first paragraph that 'close friends call him Big Tone', (!) it would clearly be inappropriate, and mentioning these fanboy acronyms so early on just has something of that feel to it - which is a shame, given that the Star Wars material is generally so well crafted now. 13:25, 26 May 2007 User:193.63.62.252
Greetings - I'd like to understand why you removed the reference to the stretched exponential decay in stray bodies in the solar system? This is original research, and indeed there was a link (via doi) to a new paper in the peer reviewed journal Icarus, Journal of Solar System studies. The question of why the particles follow a stretched exponential decay is still under investigation. Nevertheless, it is another example (and there do not seem too be many) of Nature showing this type of behavior, so I'd argue the removed information strengthens the article.
W.r.t. the last message: sorry EEMeltonIV...my bad. It looks like I was reading an earlier version of the article, never mind. Best regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Changcho ( talk • contribs)
Actually, I was referring to the fact that Star Wars canon was already linked in the sentence, and had you simply clicked on the link, you would have found out what G-canon was (as it was intended for you to do so). Instead you simply deleted the information because it was not implicitly stated and you disagreed with the source. That is what I meant by "research". The Filmaker 14:34, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out the spoiler guidelines. I was unaware.
My spelling changes in The Velvet Underground are consistent with Wikipedia spelling guidelines. I can see how someone might justifiably take offence at changing correct national spelling in articles with subjects not specific to a particular nationality. However, I believe it is perfectly appropriate to favour American spelling in an article about an American band, just as British spelling is most appropriate in articles about J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Cheers. 75.87.109.190 18:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Great job fighting vandalism on today's Featured Article! — Gaff ταλκ 04:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC) |
I removed these earlier, I see you have replaced them. I may have missed previous correspondence on this point, so sorry if this is going over old ground. But do these abbreviations really justify inclusion? I have never heard of any of the six films being referred to by these acronyms. Even if they are used by a niche group of fans, why does that warrant a mention at the start of each article? What some fans happen to call the films is a mere point of trivia, isn't it? 11:51, 26 May 2007 193.63.62.252
Thanks - I have just axed them again. I hadn't actually noticed how unreliably sourced they were, they just felt out of place. If the article on Tony Blair said in the first paragraph that 'close friends call him Big Tone', (!) it would clearly be inappropriate, and mentioning these fanboy acronyms so early on just has something of that feel to it - which is a shame, given that the Star Wars material is generally so well crafted now. 13:25, 26 May 2007 User:193.63.62.252
Greetings - I'd like to understand why you removed the reference to the stretched exponential decay in stray bodies in the solar system? This is original research, and indeed there was a link (via doi) to a new paper in the peer reviewed journal Icarus, Journal of Solar System studies. The question of why the particles follow a stretched exponential decay is still under investigation. Nevertheless, it is another example (and there do not seem too be many) of Nature showing this type of behavior, so I'd argue the removed information strengthens the article.
W.r.t. the last message: sorry EEMeltonIV...my bad. It looks like I was reading an earlier version of the article, never mind. Best regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Changcho ( talk • contribs)
Actually, I was referring to the fact that Star Wars canon was already linked in the sentence, and had you simply clicked on the link, you would have found out what G-canon was (as it was intended for you to do so). Instead you simply deleted the information because it was not implicitly stated and you disagreed with the source. That is what I meant by "research". The Filmaker 14:34, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out the spoiler guidelines. I was unaware.
My spelling changes in The Velvet Underground are consistent with Wikipedia spelling guidelines. I can see how someone might justifiably take offence at changing correct national spelling in articles with subjects not specific to a particular nationality. However, I believe it is perfectly appropriate to favour American spelling in an article about an American band, just as British spelling is most appropriate in articles about J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Cheers. 75.87.109.190 18:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
What are we going to do about this guy adding OR? Should we report him?-- CyberGhostface 15:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello ... User 72.190.106.230 ( talk · contribs) is getting to be a real problem ... they blanked the warnings that I left on their talk page, claiming that they were "libel" in their edit summary ... since you have dealt with their addition of OR to the Klingon article (again), would you please leave your mark on their talk page as well?
I mean, I'm willing to help bring them up to speed on using <ref>{{cite web}}</ref>
for citations and such, as I am with other
nuggets, but not if they're just going to act like a
WikiTroll and remain silently in the shadows ... and thnx fer hanging {{fact}}
tags on their last edit as replacements for the bogus blog references, because I noticed the addition, and was about to convert them to proper references to join the rest, but then I discovered what you had done instead ... faced with pure,
weapons-grade
balonium like that, my
evil twin would have probably just done another UNDO and then posted another nasty-gram on their talk page. ;-)
Happy Editing! — 72.75.70.147 ( talk · contribs) 06:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I've reverted the removal of the tags by Ryu. Have a good evening, Matthew 19:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Whoa! Close call there … we almost had an edit conflict on this article, because I didn't notice that you had started making changes while I was adding a comment to the talk page about my re-write before I copied what I'd edited in my sandbox to replace the intro paragraph … thnx fer the expansion of the Nemisis cameo reference, because I only saw it once, and didn't remember enough to describe what her orders were. :-) Happy Editing! — 72.75.70.147 21:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Excellent work with the tags. By the way, you might be interested in something I'm working on the past few days (it's still in the draft stages): User:Deckiller/Notability (fiction). — Deckill er 06:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Holy mother... that article is bad. I had a brain waive: stubification. We have a lot of articles that can be written well... but are in a terrible state. It's often hard to fix these bad apples without a big rewrite. These articles should be stubified, this makes them more maintainable (and if people add junk, they can just be reverted).

You said to site my sources. I have two saying that Luke was 20, not 19, during Star Wars Episode IV. The first is a novelization of Empire Strikes Back by Donald F. Glut and is a 1999 reprint of a 1980 novelization. My second source is my Dad who claims that when Episode IV came out, he saw a poster saying Luke was 20. See A New Hope discussion.

Hi, I have recently been editting the 'peer trainer' article that has been tagged with blatant advertisement the advert template. I have posted comments on the talk page, but no one has responded. I was wondering if you could take a look at the page and give me any suggestions on my talk page. Thanks!

EDIT: The page was tagged with the advert template. The page has since been rewritten, however the tag is still there. I believe the article is now written from a neutral point of view, but would like to ask you for your opinion, and also on how to have the template removed. Thanks again in advance! -- Crhwang 18:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the help! The references were taken out mistakingly but have been added back in. I have added back in only the referenced statements and kept the 'claims' statements that you recommended. -- Crhwang 19:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi; I do not understand why you reverted my "minor edition" on the article above. Could you explain to me? Thanks. -- Tonyjeff 10:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Since you took the trouble to leave a message on my talk page, would you mind terribly actually stating the article in question? I edit a lot of articles and it took me a while to determine exactly to which one you were referring. Forteblast 05:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
