To put the superscript on the word "(talk)" only, move the first "sup" tag along until it's right before the parenthesis in "(talk)". I fiddled with my signature to demonstrate roughly how it looks. -- Tony Sidaway| Talk 12:41, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for catching my minor errors, in which I didn't notice that the word "Schindler" was really a proper noun, a plural one, but not possesive. I must have been careless. Thx again.-- GordonWattsDotCom 20:12, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
I think there were several hours up to the RFC being deleted that I was out dealing with the real world, so I didn't see a lot of stuff that got put in there, I'm sure. (An annoyance that deleting teh RFC removes the entire history for teh page, but oh well). In any event, I would not be surprised to hear you supported me. You always try to be fair, to do the right thing, and to make a good article for wikipedia. Despite completely different points of view, we at least have that in common. I thank you for your vote/support. FuelWagon 23:01, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Ann, I counted Pat's vote as "1/2" a vote, and yours as one vote, as I recall, in the Schiavo talk page, regarding my claim of a slim concensus regarding mentioning euthanasia. Please come on over and formally weight in. Thx,-- GordonWattsDotCom 18:51, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ann, Given the endless debate/rows etc over styles I've been thinking as to what is the best way to come up with a consensus solution. Styles have to be in an article, but using them upfront is, I think, a mistake and highly controversial. I've designed a series of templates which I think might solve the problem. There are specific templates for UK monarchs, Austrian monarchs, popes, presidents, Scottish monarchs and HRHs. (I've protected them all, temporarily, because I want people to discuss them in principle rather than battle over content and design right now.) I've used a purple banner because it is a suitable royal colour and is also distinctive. They are eyecatching enough to keep some of the pro-styles people happy; one of their fears seemed to be that styles would be buried. But by not being used they are neutral enough to be factual without appearing to be promotional. I'd very much like your views. I'm going to put them on a couple of user pages and ask for a reaction. There needs to be a calm debate on them this time. FearÉIREANN \ (caint) 03:22, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I never realized what a horrible speller I am. Thanks for the cleanup. I think Wolfson actually spells "Schindler" in his report as "Shindler", which was some of the problem, but I know I still drop a 'c' now and then. Anyway, thanks for cleaning up my mess. Will try harder next time. FuelWagon 20:17, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
After a few days, I feel that the unhealthiness of having pages protected for more than a few days outweighs concerns of vandalism, unless the amount of vandalism can't be handled by simply reverting (typically this would be many dozens of incidents a day IMHO). Zscout370's been protecting and unprotecting the page off and on so it's kind of hard to test whether vandalism is still a problem but we'll see how things go. JYolkowski // talk 22:01, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Just to invite you to have a look at this Draft for a new version of the "A simple formulation" section - intended to replace Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#A_simple_formulation. I'd be glad to hear your comments! -- Francis Schonken 07:38, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ann!
Well, from what I remember, the problem wasn't with adding to an old RFC. The problem was that this user (now banned) was adding to an RFC and making it seem like Tony Sidaway was endorsing his view. There were also other things that this user was doing that made his actions a bit dubious. There isn't anything wrong with adding to an old RFC, as far as I know. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 18:27, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ann, thanks for your post.
I'm glad that you missed me (I'm sure a certain other user did not miss me). Well, where have I been? I visited a certain city in the Rhineland - me and one million other people including Benedict XVI.
As for the Synagoge visits: it was always said that JPII was the first pope to visit a synagoge since St. Peter. Which would make Benedict the third after Peter and JP. I don't know if the claim that JP's visit was the first is actually (verifiably) true but it his visit certainly has been the first in a very long time. If the wording I posted seems ambigious to you (since I'm only a German, so non-native speaker), please correct it accordingly.
Don't worry I will stay though I also am quite busy right now. But I will stay.

The order of precedence succession boxes should really be removed. Several people complained and the user who was putting them in stopped, but they are still there in most cases. (Incidentally, the order for women is The Queen, Camilla, Anne, Sophie, Beatrice, Eugenie, Louise, etc. — most of the precedence articles on Wikipedia seem to need major overhauls...)

"Quickly" perusing your Wiki-world is a little overwhelming. NPOV is an oxymoron so any attempts at it are futile. Even in the simple presentation of fact we can persuade a reader through voice, phrasing and tense. Most importantly it is the selection of presented fact that creates POV. I'll be more removed and voiceless in presenting any fact in the future.

Hello Ann,
I am offended by that page. In fact, I get very disappointed by a lot of things on Wikipedia. I have been greatly surprised by some of the things I have found here. Sometimes, I want to totally disassociate from this so-called encyclopedia, but realize that it gets spread all over the internet. When I notice something that particularly gets my goat I try to correct it or challenge it.
I'm not even sure what a Wikipedia page is and why can't it be voted on to be deleted?
Dwain 22:13, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
Ann, I would like you to come on over to the Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Terri_Schiavo page and weigh in on the issue. While actual vote count may (or may not?) be important in getting Terri Schiavo as a Featured Article Candidate (Fac), your voice would be helpful -and I hope you support the candacy.
Thx!-- GordonWattsDotCom 09:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ann. You were criticising me earlier for being anonynmous, so i have gained a user account, and have added a section to your comments on the Christianity talk page. Regards, Dave
I started an RfC on Pope Pius XII. You are invited to comment. patsw 23:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for visiting the revenge Request for Comments against me. That Request for Comments was filed against me as revenge because I had filed two Request for Comments against either one or two extreme POV pushers. Since you live in a different nation of the Former British Empire than I do, you probably have no POV about the article in question, so that you might either be a neutral view or entirely uninterested. There was an ongoing edit war about whether to include two unfavable incidents in the article on US Senator Ted Kennedy. These were, in my view, of no importance, but I was willing to try to discuss them. (They were not the Chappaquidick incident, which is well discussed, in which a woman drowned in his car.) Some of us tried to determine what was consensus, which we thought was against the inclusion. There were personal attacks.
The reason that I say that there were two Requests for Comments against one or two POV pushers is that one is signed-in and one is anonymous from various addresses. I think that they are two different editors, but I don't know that the anon is not a sockpuppet.
Campaigning for signatures on Requests for Comments or on consensus polls is ugly, so I am not doing that. However, the revenge RfC against me was a response to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Agiantman and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/24.147.97.230. Robert McClenon 14:56, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
You're welcome, and thank you for acknowleding.
PS, that was sly to insert your message between two other ones, instead of posting to the bottom, but I saw it: I look at the diffs to see the "differences." You don't miss a thing!-- GordonWattsDotCom 00:01, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
RE: your post on my page.
The simple answer to your question is to experiment with the code in my page, using Occam's Razor by eliminating the elements in the code that don't do what you want. The actual answer may be that the code does not allow that.
You see, I saw that code on some user page, I forget where, and changed a few things around. Here, let me see it I can figure it out; it may take a few edit revisions:
Is
a/some wikipedia link(s)? Ok, it seems I found it by taking my own advice. PS: Please invesigate the code, and notice the way the division class attribute makes a hard line break and seperates the word "Is" from the rest of the sentence -and, in like manner, another "Hard break" occurs after the link, which makes the "...a wikipedia link" section go on the next line. Click and enjoy! -- GordonWattsDotCom 21:58, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Ann, thank you for your message, and I appreciate your courteous tone. I understand what you are saying, and have read all the rules you directed me to.
I appreciate the NOO rule, but isn't there a clear difference between quoting from the Bible and conducting research? Perhaps the comments surrounding the research could be regarded as too POV, in which case, we could just leave the quotes.
I think it would work best if we could all work to find common ground on the issue, rather than simply delete it. I've tried my best to do so on the talk page, and I feel your approach has been most productive. Plus, I also have to note, that if I have broken the 3 revert rule, then surely Str1977 has also on some of the other issues we were engaging on?
Thanks a lot, Jamestherage 13:52, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
Ann...have you ever considered being an administrator? I think you would excel at it. I'd be happy to nominate you if you're interested and I'm certain there would be a lot of support. KHM03 23:38, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ann, thanks for your edits at the Opus Dei article. I am glad to know there is a kind person who is keeping watch over it and helping it to improve. Please feel free to continue editing. I would like it to become a feature article, if possible on October 2, the foundation day of Opus Dei. But it will need more thinking through. Thanks again. Lafem 03:56, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
An IP address has been making personal attacks against you on your user page and user talk page. One of these edits included an edit summary that posted what was supposedly your address and phone number. A few users and myself asked one of the developers,
User:Tim Starling, to remove the address from the edit summary, which he did. But the IP, which has since been indefinitely blocked (it was changed to a 1 week block), also posted some cryptic information that included a reference to letter bombs. This user said that he was a former piano student of yours, who was angry with you for "making him feel worthless". It might be just a disgruntled person you know (possibly taught), who is taking out his anger on your Wikipedia account, and has no real plans to do anything of the sort. It might also be another WP user who dislikes you, and looked up your information on your user page. In any event, I wouldn't worry about it; it's probably just an empty threat. This is just a notice of what's happened; if you have any questions, please feel free to reply on
my talk page, or here.

Hi. I don't know if I've met you before, Gordon but I don't think it really has anything to do with you. The post is about Ann, not you, Gordon. I do have to say I'm a little bit concerned that with some of the weirdos out there (I should know there are enough on my campus, lol!) that people are posting so much personal information online.

Hi Ann, I wrote to Blogger about the blog, as I believe others did too, and it now seems to have been deleted, which is something. SlimVirgin (talk) 23:12, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
Your 2¢ sought: The Terri Schiavo Featured Article nomination has made much progress and has received much positive feedback, including some from Mark (AKA →Raul654), the FA-editor: Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Terri_Schiavo. As one of the esteemed editors in that vein, I'd like you to review the FA-nom and throw in your 2¢-worth. Thx.-- GordonWatts 15:28, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
Ann, if you have a dispute with me, you take it up with me. If you have a dispute with me because of my interaction with someone else, that's for someone else to deal with. I have always done my best to treat you with respect around the Terri Schiavo article. But if you silently begrudge me because of some interaction I had with someone else, you say nothing at the time, then come back to me months later, then there isn't really anything I can do about it. What Ed did was a misuse of admin priveledges and inappropriate as mediator. That hasn't been resolved as far as I'm concerned, and it is a dispute between Ed and I. You need to deal with whatever personal disputes you have with me with me and any disputes between me and someone else isn't your dispute. I have never insulted you that I can ever recall. If I did, I would appologize. But I will not apologize to you for something I may or may not have done to someone else. Ed blocked ME without good reason. Ed violated NPA against ME. He has never apologized. He has never admitted he broke policy. He has never admitted he misused his priveledges. That dispute lays between Ed and me. FuelWagon 17:32, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Plus, I also have to note, that if I have broken the 3 revert rule, then surely Str1977 has also on some of the other issues we were engaging on?
Thanks a lot, Jamestherage 13:52, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
Ann...have you ever considered being an administrator? I think you would excel at it. I'd be happy to nominate you if you're interested and I'm certain there would be a lot of support. KHM03 23:38, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ann, thanks for your edits at the Opus Dei article. I am glad to know there is a kind person who is keeping watch over it and helping it to improve. Please feel free to continue editing. I would like it to become a feature article, if possible on October 2, the foundation day of Opus Dei. But it will need more thinking through. Thanks again. Lafem 03:56, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
An IP address has been making personal attacks against you on your user page and user talk page. One of these edits included an edit summary that posted what was supposedly your address and phone number. A few users and myself asked one of the developers,
User:Tim Starling, to remove the address from the edit summary, which he did. But the IP, which has since been indefinitely blocked (it was changed to a 1 week block), also posted some cryptic information that included a reference to letter bombs. This user said that he was a former piano student of yours, who was angry with you for "making him feel worthless". It might be just a disgruntled person you know (possibly taught), who is taking out his anger on your Wikipedia account, and has no real plans to do anything of the sort. It might also be another WP user who dislikes you, and looked up your information on your user page. In any event, I wouldn't worry about it; it's probably just an empty threat. This is just a notice of what's happened; if you have any questions, please feel free to reply on
my talk page, or here.

Hi Ann, I saw the edits you made at the Opus Dei article. Thanks a lot. Can you help check if it is ready to be nominated as a featured article? I'd appreciate any feedback. You can write me at my user page Thomas S. Major or at the talk page of the Opus Dei article Talk:Opus Dei. Thomas S. Major 07:25, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
Don't think we've run into each other before but I was just surfing and came across this site: http://byebyeann.blogspot.com/ .
I googled the name and came across your page here at Wikipedia. Thought I'd better let you know. You may want to look into it. Thanks a lot, Sarah. SarahPhelpsjr 11:10, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I don't know if I've met you before, Gordon but I don't think it really has anything to do with you. The post is about Ann, not you, Gordon. I do have to say I'm a little bit concerned that with some of the weirdos out there (I should know there are enough on my campus, lol!) that people are posting so much personal information online.

Hi Ann, I wrote to Blogger about the blog, as I believe others did too, and it now seems to have been deleted, which is something. SlimVirgin (talk) 23:12, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
Your 2¢ sought: The Terri Schiavo Featured Article nomination has made much progress and has received much positive feedback, including some from Mark (AKA →Raul654), the FA-editor: Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Terri_Schiavo. As one of the esteemed editors in that vein, I'd like you to review the FA-nom and throw in your 2¢-worth. Thx.-- GordonWatts 15:28, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
Ann, if you have a dispute with me, you take it up with me. If you have a dispute with me because of my interaction with someone else, that's for someone else to deal with. I have always done my best to treat you with respect around the Terri Schiavo article. But if you silently begrudge me because of some interaction I had with someone else, you say nothing at the time, then come back to me months later, then there isn't really anything I can do about it. What Ed did was a misuse of admin priveledges and inappropriate as mediator. That hasn't been resolved as far as I'm concerned, and it is a dispute between Ed and I. You need to deal with whatever personal disputes you have with me with me and any disputes between me and someone else isn't your dispute. I have never insulted you that I can ever recall. If I did, I would appologize. But I will not apologize to you for something I may or may not have done to someone else. Ed blocked ME without good reason. Ed violated NPA against ME. He has never apologized. He has never admitted he broke policy. He has never admitted he misused his priveledges. That dispute lays between Ed and me. FuelWagon 17:32, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
