The edit war over that tabloid garbage about Matsui and his alleged "traveling porn collection" continues. If I get slapped for violating the 3-revert-rule, so be it. I could use the vacation time. :) Wahkeenah 12:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
My complaint to those editor(s) remains the same with that article as with the others: Prove it. Don't expect us to take your word for it. The author of that article says that he has the information correct. Liebman says he doesn't. It's an obvious content dispute, requiring submission of evidence or, perhaps, notes in the text saying there is conflicting info. The blanket assertion that one is right and one is wrong, "Take my word for it", doesn't cut it. I haven't heard back further from the SABR guy, but we'll see. Wahkeenah 16:51, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your question. MWU is a tool I wrote that is somewhat like AWB, but written in Java so it runs on Mac OS X as well as Windows and Linux. It presently isn't in a form that is suitable for release however. Like AWB, in the wrong hands it could be used for malicious intent and unfortunately I don't have time to work on the necessary security features to make is available to others.

Hey I noticed that every tom dick harry bio profile who seems to be from india is being categorised under India. It should be "Indian people" or more specific. I dont recommend to put anybody/anything in category India. Suntech 03:08, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
The findagrave article repeats the 1965 death date, yet his headstone says 1964. [1] I've sent a note to the findagrave editor to find out if he knows anything about that. I'm curious as to the possible veracity of some of User:Ron liebman's claims. If there are mistakes, they should be corrected. But not his way. Wahkeenah 00:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
I apologize for not recognizing you earlier. I am just getting familiar with this type of userbox. You may want to place the following on your user page:

"Ron Liebman" has been quiet, but other rearchers keep pushing the issue of Cobb have 4,189 career hits instead of 4,191. As much as I disliked Bowie Kuhn as a Commissioner, I'm inclined to agree that unless every player's stats are revisited, singling out Cobb is unfair. Be that as it may, I added the official MLB stats to the unofficial "researched" stats from other sites. I'm guessing that will cause trouble, but we'll see. Baseball Bugs 01:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
There seems to be an entire Starting Nine working on this issue. It's not very efficient use of time, but it's interesting to observer. I have a hunch this kind of thing has happened over and over again on wikipedia, and in my opinion, does nothing to help its credibility. :\ Wahkeenah 20:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
FYI: confirmation via Checkuser is in, they're all socks. See [2]. Not that I had any doubt, but now we have the confirmation in case anyone tries to challenge the enforcement. The CU runner also spotted two more socks, which I have indef'ed. Georgewilliamherbert 19:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar! :) And I have now started some Frank Lloyd Wright stuff. I made my way over to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois on Wednesday, toured the home, utterly amazing, beyond words really. Then walked much of the historic district, saw some great houses (I have started: Arthur Heurtley House (believe me I got pics of me in front of this one), Mrs. Thomas H. Gale House, and Frank Thomas House) as well as caught some other Oak Park Registered Places, Oak Park Conservatory, Scoville Park etc. My gallery will slowly be being updated at Commons, I have already added some stuff into the Oak Park section. Thought you might be interested, it was a crappy day for photos and I still have my small, not so great camera so I did what I could, some stuff I haven't uploaded is a bit better but at least they are something, and I will be headed back to Oak Park asap anyway. The Heurtley House particularly mesmerized me, thusly nominated for DYK. : ) Thanks again. IvoShandor 07:50, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Some overzealous admin stuck his nose in and marked Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Ron liebman as "closed" when it's clearly still an ongoing problem. And I told him so (minus the editorial comment). Baseball Bugs 16:39, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I think you are working on Category:Uncategorized from April 2007. I'm picking stuff from that list as well. Are you working down the list, up the list, or at random? Just trying to avoid picking the same articles. Carcharoth 15:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Oops. I got distracted by creating Category:Burns and crying about elephants at the reference desk. Only 35 left! I'll have to get a move on. Carcharoth 16:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Could you point out what additional references I need to provide and/or add to the article in order to satisfy the tag you've put on it? I have plenty of info on it, just wanted to keep the article fairly concise and easy to read. Cheers, Joistmonkey 02:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
I know you live somewhere in the general vicinity of Ocala, and I have a favor to ask of you. I am starting stubs for all of the radio stations in the Gainesville/Ocala market, and I am having a bit of trouble figuring out the programming information for a Low Power station in Ocala, WJND(100.7). One set of sources indicates that it is a Spanish language religious station, and another set indicates that it is a dance music station. Since I live in Gainesville, the signal is far too weak for me to pick it up. Could you tune your radio to the station for a minute and tell me which it is? It will be readily apparent after only a few seconds, since the two formats have nothing in common. :) Thanks! Horologium talk - contrib 23:59, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I closed out my previous account because I wanted to start over with a much smaller watch list and stick with the subject matter I started with on wikipedia over 2 years ago, namely baseball articles. Now I'm probably going to have to quit for good, because of this one user who I consider to be a bully, and who probably hasn't gone far enough to draw sanctions. [3] I've read ominous stuff before, about wikipedia editors who run into such a brick wall, and it's very discouraging. When I quit last time, over the petty issue of media "spoilers", I was mad as hell. Now I'm less mad and more (and mostly) discouraged. The good news is that the Ron Liebman character seems to have backed off (unless he's just waiting for the time limits to expire). But this Tecmobowl guy, I don't know what to do about. I think I'm about done being an editor. I should have just walked away, as User:Wknight94 apparently did. d:( Baseball Bugs 13:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
It appears I'm not alone in having trouble dealing with this guy. A user pointed this out to me in connection with the baseball project. I'm guessing that a case will be building against this guy, slowly. Meanwhile, if I happen to run into him on the streets of Normal this afternoon, I'll be as cordial as I can be. 0:) Baseball Bugs 15:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
