Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. -- Tawker 08:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Your edit on Rory096's RFA was out of line CIVL wise. Please watch it in the future -- Tawker 08:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually, that is not true at all. There is a naming convention, and it is strictly followed. Take a look at WP:NC#Album_titles_and_band_names. Album and song titles should be disambiguated by artist, not year. This is common practice at Wikipedia. -- musicpvm 05:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Please stop making edits which place obscure and rarely-used like "eschewal"[sic] in an unnecessarily prominent position... AnonMoos 15:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
The word "eschew" is such a semi-obscure William F. Buckley type of word that it has been used as part of the self-contradictory jocular mock-advice "Eschew obfuscation!". "Eschewal"[sic] goes one degree beyond that... AnonMoos 07:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed that you've made many moves. I strongly suggest you only make moves when you have consensus on the talk page of the article to do so. JoshuaZ 06:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Your most recent edit to Christmas, which clarified a very awkward sentence, was really excellent. Little details like that have a big effect on the article's readability. I just wanted to let you know that while we may not always agree on some subjects, I appreciate your good work and ongoing contributions to wikipedia. Happy editing! -- Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 19:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Heh, "touchy subject", yes. But you're right, we do have the same goals. I recently added cites to a couple of the, um,...disputed tidbits, and I've got to admit that the Anon who is editing made me learn some new things. I think that we've also helped with the "tidy" and "neutral", but more of your good editing would certainly improve things. I know that we'd all like to whip this into shape before the holiday season is fully upon us. Let me know, on my Talkpage or the article's, if you think there are any specific issues that need to be addressed. Once we're all satisfied with our work, I'd like to consider submitting this "new and improved" version for either Peer Review or Rating. Thanks again. -- Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 19:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
HI, I'm continuing here instead of adding a new section. I think (but I'm not certain) that we are perhaps a bit closer to consensus about the article than we were a couple of weeks ago. It would certainly be nice to resolve the last few points in a timely fashion; I'm hoping that once we are in agreement we can all work together to protect the article from the inevitable vandalsim that will soon inundate it. I'd be more than willing to file a joint RfC requesting outside comments if you think that would help, but RfC's can be slow, and sometimes attract the attention of trolls (the very last thing we need!). If you are happy with talkpages efforts to discuss things, I am too; more than anything, I want to make sure you don't feel that you and your opinions are being ignored.

Good, I'm in complete agreement about making small (non-controversial) edits while awaiting more talkpage comments. Regarding "33% of the world is Christian": if you wish to include that, I wouldn't object, but I would request that you include 2 independent refs from verifiable & reliable sources, as it is an extremely controversial point. The good news is, I am a staunch defender of well-sourced material; if you can find the refs, and make it clear that the point is relevant to the article, then I would support you completely on that and protect your material as vigorously as I do my own (not that either one of us "owns" anything here, I just couldn't find a better way to express it).

Hi, I noticed you've been making some edits to the Secularization of Christmas article. I'm curious about the Old Navy graphic, which you uploaded. Is that from an in-store display, or an advertising insert, or... where exactly is that from? I think it would be good to indicate in the caption where the image comes from, more specifically than just "Old Navy". Thanks in advance. - GTBacchus( talk) 19:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks,OLP1999 for your support on the Steve Irwin talk page about his belief in God.It was nice that you backed me up. Serenaacw 06:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I've been thinking about your comments on the Christmas controversies article. I'm having trouble understanding the distinction between secularization of Christmas and avoidance of it. If a store goes ahead and puts up decorations in December, and has "holiday" sales and all that, then aren't they participating in the Christmas season, just not calling it anything "Christ"-like? I mean, when I hear "avoidance of Christmas", that suggests to me that people are refraining from celebrating anything during the season, as if a store just carried on business as usual in December. It seems that the stores in question are still celebrating the holiday, but without the religious aspects. Isn't that what "secularization" means? I hope my question makes sense; thanks in advance for your consideration. - GTBacchus( talk) 02:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Please refrain from creating inappropriate pages such as Ernie Boch Jr.. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. -- MCB 20:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Your recent edit to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Winter holiday season(2) ( diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

I've been watching your edits with interest, but have been rather busy and have put off commenting on them. You seem to be improving the article, for which, thank you.
I'm leaving this message in response to your edit summary, to let you know that someone does, in fact, give a ****. :) - GTBacchus( talk) 19:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I've been curious about this image for a while, but didn't bother saying anything until now. The file info says that you created it. Meaning, you made the image and uploaded it to Wikipedia as if it were an official single cover? Or did you just select the wrong copyright when uploading it by accident? -- Nikki4982 22:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Take a quick look at the article's
Talk page to see "who the Hell took this out." I'm sure you'll be able to discuss it there and reach a consensus.

Thanks for uploading
Image:Xmas2006.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 20:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:SOT(2002).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 04:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Your upload of File:AngelsLosing.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution.
