Hello. I was just wondering if you're really okay with showing everybody things like your Gmail address, the way it's shown on those screenshots. Usually, people put blurs on that kind of data when they are posting screenshots, so other people won't take advantage of anything.
Just a thought. – Kaonashi 14:52, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with its height. Someone else wrote the original article and I contributed its Japanese name and the Pearl Harbor reference and when I did that I noticed the disagreement. I'll have to poke around in some of my other books and see what they say. Ave! PedanticallySpeaking 15:23, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I was looking over your excellent work-in-progress at User:ClockworkSoul/Chemical Weapon Proliferation, and it occurred to me that there's a status (or column, perhaps) that isn't quite captured with your current format. I'm thinking particularly of the UK's reported (or self-confessed, I think) status - the UK MoD says that the UK has tiny stockpiles of lots of chemical weapons types, but retains them only to test the effectiveness of their chemical weapons countermeasures (antidotes, dispersal agents, NBC suits, detectors, etc.), and that they aren't in a weaponised form or loaded into any kind of delivery system. So I suppose that would fall into a category between "doesn't have any" and "has a weapons capability". I'd guess that any number of countries will adopt (or claim to) a similar approach. -- John Fader
Great job with the re-writing and re-arranging of the content on the keydrive article. It looks very professional and really contains a lot of useful information. Keep up the great work! -- ABQCat 05:20, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
In replying to my question, thanks, but you did not reply on my talkpage, despite it being there twice. Please reply on my talkpage if I specifically ask you to. Thanks,--[[User:Honeycake| Honeycake (please reply on my talkpage!!)]] 18:59, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Thanks - I will clean it up as soon as I get a chance (probably after finals are done). Guettarda 18:17, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
hey, i was just wondering if you would be willing to re-license the screenshot you uploaded of gmail so that it is PD or GFDL or something, just cause fair-use is a US thing only, so it makes it easier for the planned mandrake distro of wikipedia, and whatnot, who cant use fairuse images.

Your Gmail screenshots show an interesting firefox toolbar. Can you tell me which one this is and where I can get it? I am looking for something akin to Opera's Quick Preferences. Anárion 13:09, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
...for your help on the Boreham page. WikiUser 19:45, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
IT WORKED! Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure that out for so long! I thought it had something to do with tell firefox it was HTML but I couldn't figure out how. I had the tags at the top and bottom of the page but that didn't seem to have any effect. But I changed the file name, like you said, so that it ended in .html, and it worked! So great! -- The_stuart 20:20, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
On December 24th, 2004, you left a message in Talk:Endochondral ossification about using Gray's Anatomy images in the article. I didn't spot that message until now but thanks a lot for alerting me of the existence of these pictures. It so happens that just this morning, someone had asked me about adding a picture to Osteon (which I didn't know where to find), which this archive contains. Thanks again! -- jag123 03:54, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Good work on the Northern Bank robbery. I'd seen that BBC timeline and I was planning to incorporate it at some point myself. The article needed more on the actual execution of the raid. Cheers. — Trilobite (Talk) 10:59, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
OK, so you're the only target handy for about five hours of frustration; that's life. I signed up for this hulabaloo early this morning and then, being a good boy, started through the tutorial. When I got to the sandbox, there being no toolbars in my "Wiki," or at least what I thought was my menu, that is, not saved up or for public perusal quite yet, I clicked on the sidebar help and got one very vitriolic, anti-American note, and one caustic suggestion from someone calling herself "Lesbian Seagull|project kaka" who managed to get a link in my menu repeating the above. Being a good boy scout, I clicked on that link to unearth the booger in my sandbox, to no avail of course, but got as my reward the disabling of my Wikisearch for "performance" reasons. I thought I made all this pretty clear in far fewer words, but then, I did not know that you have Wiki's within Wiki's with more passwords. Maybe I should have printed the sixteen pages of instructions and laid them all over my table to better navigate your murky waters, but I'll tell you what, bud,three insults in one night is about all that this poor boy can handle, so it might be a while before you see me back. Fresnosparrow 16:51, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Anyway, John, if you need anything, contact me again. I am pretty sure I could help you.-- GynoWizz 22:52, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi John, I linked to you on my talk page in regards to 130.161.31.76. I hope this is alright with you, and thanks for your response to that user, too. - Junjk 16:45, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thankyou for removing that question. Alphax (t) (c) (e) 00:38, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
wow... thank's so much, john, for catching that vandal!! I guess this is my first experience with vandalism on wiki. How did you come across it? Is any action taken against the one who did it? again, thanks soooo much!
Thanks for the praise…warm words are always welcome! -- Theo (Talk) 14:30, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hello, how can you be so fast in changing this article. I was not even finished when I got your message!
Thnks for fixing the links on the Cromer Crab page which I'd just done. Just trying to get my head round how the system works. Any idea why the picture is still coming out full size when I thought I'd coded it to show at a small size? I think 200px should do it. I'd also like to get my copyright bit in the picture inside the box with general copyright statement, like the example on the'Image uploading page' - though I may be able to work that one out, maybe tomoorw evening!
I've added some comments for you to consider. Please see the article. -- BRIAN 0918 18:37, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. I've been around as an anonymous user for a few months now. Only got myself a screen-name so I could join in the VfD debates. (They think most anons are sock-puppets!) Wish I hadn't started grid-referencing all the UK-geo-stubs, now. There are hundreds of them. I'll probably give up before I even finish the "A"s. Oh well... Miss Pippa 14:40, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome from me as well. Bogfjellmo 02:07, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
Nice work on Peter Palumbo (John Fader, Miss Pippa and Henrygb): the article received a v.f.d. within four minutes of creation, even though it was already referenced by four or more pages! LoopZilla 07:42, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi John, saw your welcome message on my talk page. Thanks a lot! julie 00:08, 2005 Mar 7 (UTC)
I was hoping he'd disappear for a few weeks, as he did the first time he edited here. Forunately his assertions are so outrageous that they're unlikely to be left in an article for very long. I've left him a message at User talk:Lords Page that will hopefully discourage these self-serving edits of his; failing that, at least he's now been given fair warning of the three revert rule. I'll therefore block him if I see him edit The Da Vinci Code once more (I'm of the mind that re-arranging things to make an edit appear unique shouldn't trump the 3RR). -- Hadal 21:27, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
John, forgive me if you've been asked this already (or if I should be wrong and you are an admin), but would you be open to my nominating you to be an administrator? You're an excellent candidate, judging by your work here, and it's gradually dawned on me that I don't think you're an admin yet. Please let me know at your convenience. Jwrosenzweig 02:05, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps. If you choose to do so, you could make that the title and Central Medical Services a redirect. However, to me it is a fundamentally differnt case than say, Stasi, which is fairly widely known in English under that name; probably more widely than State Security Service would be. My thought is based on the idea that this is the English Wikipedia, and that as often as is practicable, articles should be entitled in that language unless experience and usage run considerably to the contrary, i.e., Stasi.

I think I got confused because BOTH Dr Who and BitTorrent were linked in the extract of the article. Will fix this. - Ta bu shi da yu 00:48, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Sorry for all the vandalism, I promise not to do any more.-- 212.100.250.219 21:02, Sunday, July 28, 2024 ( UTC)
Hi, I notice you had some involvement in dealing with page vandalism to User:Tabib and I wonder if you could contribute anything further you might know to this ongoing arbitration case into what, in its full breadth, seems to me to be one of the more serious cases of harassment of an editor I have seen in some time. -- Tony Sidaway| Talk 13:01, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Why the preference for the image on the right vs the left? I didn't know about the 1960s or I would have used that. However, since I'm adding so many of these articles, if there's a general preference for the image being on the right vs on the left, I'm happy to comply. Avriette 17:02, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
