Lest anyone think I've just archived my talk page to get rid of warnings, they're reposted here:

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to User:PatriotFirst, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks.
What you said about certain users on the Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard is libellous and defamatory. Particularly this: [ and defamatory comments]
Do not defame and libel other editors. Your behavior is also considered worse than Wiki-stalking, particularly because it goes beyond the usual policing and spying of editors on Wikipedia. It concerns editors privacy rights off of Wikipedia. This is unfair to Wikipedia, itself, and unfair to the editors involved. Thank you. Additionally, you took the liberty of removing code from my page, without my permission. This also goes against Wiki user page policy. Next time you take the liberty to alter a user's page, I suggest you, politely, ask the user in question first.
Please act civilly with me. Because of your incivility, you are not welcome on my pages again, unless I expressly invite you, which is ulikely under the circumstances. PatriotFirst 23:31, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Please read WP:POINT. -- SPUI ( T - C) 05:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Sorry but I am going to be upfront about this. oh whaa something didn't go your way. You are a good editor, stop acting like a 5 year old, if this were real life you'd be on the floor with a blue face kicking your legs. What will it take for your ranting behavior to stop? Who needs to apologize, what needs to happen? - Ravedave 00:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for tagging this. In future, you can use {{ db-repost}} to tag the article for speedy deletion. It would also be good if you could leave a message on my talk page and/or WP:ANI if Kenwood 3000 resurfaces again - when I checked the sockpuppet's contributions he had made a large amount of libellous edits which also needed reverting. -- Sam Blanning (talk) 15:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I know that SPUI is a hard person to deal with at times. I'm sorry, but this is not acceptable. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 22:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Has someone hijacked your account? -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 04:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Thorncrown Chapel. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox.
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Missouri State Route 76, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Branson, Missouri, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Look if you really want to be blocked I'll do it. Don't post fake vandalism messages to your account though. -- Rschen7754 ( talk - contribs) 19:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok, this isn't a compliment, but I've got to tell you this so you don't get the wrong idea. Just because somebody does a bunch of rearranging of info and formatting on an article you wrote doesn't mean what you added is worthless. Yes, saying "fuck this shit" on an article is dumb because that can only result in penalty, but doing the grunt work on highway articles with infoboxes, etc. is better than nothing. So, my point is... if you're think you're trying to help, screw everyone else's insults... take their advice and try not to screw up, but if you do, someone else will fix it. If you're trying to hurt Wikipedia or trying to satisfy your funny bone, then you're in the wrong place. Simple common sense. Now, if you're not an expert in an area, don't try to overthrow someone who is; however, you're input is usually appreciated, so keep on editing... if that's what you want to do. Just learn from mistakes and gain experience. Also common sense. Heck, I wanted to say "fuck this shit" on a bunch of my articles that were reverted... until I realized the reverter was a moron. -- TinMan 05:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Elkman, since I saw you did the Bridge of Hope page, I was wondering if you could confirm for me which brige the County Road 78 Bridge is. Is it the main concrete girder bridge in Sartell? The List of crossings of the Upper Mississippi River says it's south of Sartell, but there are actually two bridges in Sartell, the girder one and an older, trussed one that is no longer used. If you could clear this up for me, I can photograph the bridges and then start working on their articles. Thanks.-- Daveswagon 00:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
FYI, I have taken your wonderful History section in the Minnesota article and replaced History of Minnesota with it. It needs a good overview so I have asked User:Kablammo for help doing that. Thanks! - Ravedave 04:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Elkman,
Just wanted to thank your work against this "Brand X vandal", Kenwood 3000 and his sockpuppets. I meet him and his various sockpockets all the time on the Phil Collins page, and spend a full time job watching over him and his false additions. It's a shame, as people like him are the reasons Wikipedia will never be taken seriously. Still, I appreciate your work watching over him. A shame we can't just lock out his IP address, User:82.35.114.39.
Have a good one,
-- Ataricodfish 17:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I have indefinitely blocked User:Reginald1041 as a suspected sockpuppet of Kenwood 3000 and went ahead and removed the mention of Ian Hart-Stein from the John Goodsall page as it does appear to be some long term vandalism attempt by those people. And I never did say his name was Ian Hart-stein. Seriously, you really need to stop being so hard on yourself. You were right. Have a cookie. Cowman109 Talk 20:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I know what you mean... I've been gone for six months since the last time which was a fucking disaster with nothing going right. This month has been great, since I only edit pages which nobody else edits and select pages which are more or less vandal free. The downside is that despite 1,000+ edits this months, I have hardly anything on my talk page. Sure beats them negative comments though ;)
Actually this is typical of the state of humanity. People do not care about people who good things or who help others. Those things are irrelevant. We only shout at one another when we think that somebody else did something wrong and it's usually very trivial. And in the case of Wikipedia there are many trivial, stupid things to fight about and that's what happens most of the time.
I see you already got a cookie. You get a smile from me. I sometimes monitor Phil Collins, because it was once nominated for Featured Article by a newbie and I gave a comment and tried it to clean it up and somebody great came along and made a whole fucking Featured Article out of it. I like Phil, but I don't have anything by Phil, so it's a bit ironic that I played a minor role. KittenKlub 20:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I was uploading a pic of the Sauk Rapids Bridge and noticed the article says it has three stone piers. I only counted two. Is there something else that counts as a pier that I'm missing?-- Daveswagon 23:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing that out (happened when carelessly editing down an unneeded link to WP:STUB); someone else seems to have fixed it in the meantine. Alai 22:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for coming over and visiting that page. Apparently a student who attends it has decided to not allow any links to govt agencies showing that the school is banned (5-8 states in the US specifically banned by name. Can you help? Azskeptic 03:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Azskeptic has nothing meaningful to contribute. All foreign medical schools are banned in certain states - nothing new with that. Additionally, he is copying and pasting links and copyrighted material into my article from other websites. I’m surprised to see he is asking for your help. Notice, he registered his ID for the sole purpose of posting his nasty remarks in articles relating to foreign medical schools - it is apparent from his contributions.
Thanks
Thanks for your compliments and support of
Larrys Creek's FAC. I have answered your question about the covered bridge article at
Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Larrys Creek - basically I will work on an article but it will take me a while. Also not sure what to call it as there are at least three different names for the bridge (Larrys Creek, Cogan House, and Buckhorn). Thanks again and take care,

Hi Elkman,
Back in July, you disambiguated the article on Monti, Iowa, changing the link to township to civil township. Somehow, the article on Monti fell off my userlist, and I did not notice the change until now. Unfortunately, it's not correct: Iowa has no civil townships, only survey townships. I have reverted this change, which was no big deal. However, since you used AWB to make the change, I wonder how many other articles you made the switch to now have this incorrect disambiguation: any article concerning places in Iowa will definitely be mistaken. Do you recall how many articles you AWB'd? Were there many on articles relating to the state of Iowa? I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but as I said, I just now noticed the mistake, which could have happened to anyone. Sorry. Firsfron of Ronchester 04:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Being the one person on the planet not enthralled with Harry Potter strikes again. I scanned the passage for some indication of an anchor to something that would make it somewhat sensical, but I saw nothing. Now that I know what you know, I would agree that we're looking at a prod or a AfD if it needs be deleted. You certainly could have removed the speedy yourself, but I'll go take it down assuming somebody else has not. Erechtheus 18:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
this edit was not helpful. Nor were some other recent ones you've made. Please reconsider your approach, remembering WP:CIVIL, WP:POINT and in general, behaving collegially. Sarcasm often fails to make the point intended. Tempers are frayed around the highway issue and it would be best if you were calming, whatever your personal feelings might be. ++ Lar: t/ c 15:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
