I'm not sure how to correctly respond to these messages. The Tankboy TV show is the first item I have listed, so its taken me a few days to put together. I'm still working on it though. I have requested information from several sources and I am still waiting for replies. You guys jump on so fast that it makes it hard for me (as I am still learning) to get anything together.
I am currently assembling information about the new Spartacus show being made for Starz. Its going to be awesome. I accidently found a whole lot of info when researching about Tankboy. I have more reference links to put into the Tankboy section soon. When I was gathering information I did not realize I needed to keep the links. I am now going back through finding that info. I will be much more sorted when it comes to Spartacus. I just love crazy, wild and really out there TV shows. I love the wikipedia concept and I use it all the time to find information about TV shows and decided it was time I got my shit together and added some bits. I'm a bit old and a little slow with some of this new fangled technology but I always get there in the end. Thanks Cooltv ( talk) 01:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for you input on the TCP reset attack page I posted last night. It's my first Wikipedia page, and I had no idea the page standards were so formal. I was also surprised by the rapid response.
I've edited the page to try to address your concerns, however as I didn't understand some of them, I'm sure I didn't fix everything. Specifically, I'm not sure what needs cleanup. The Wikipedia:Cleanup page is huge, and I"m not sure which of it's guidelines I've violated. I'm a terrible typist and my use of English is not the best, so it would be helpful to point to specific sections of problems which need cleanup; e.g. "section is confusing", "too many hyphens" or "typos in TCP reset section".
I have tried to address the link problems you mentioned; populating the reference section and moving external links to a section at the bottom. Please look these changes over and let me know if I'm moving in the right direction.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm still a bit green at this so I hope this entry doesn't pop up somewhere that it shouldn't. Apologies if it does. Anyhow i'm just a poor boy without even a poor family - my parents left me in the woods and I was raised by monkeys. I really miss my monkey mum. I am polite and considerate of others and currently living in a cave: it is only by serendipity I find myself with an internet connection. So please Sir, Mr Twisted, would you consider adopting me... On a more serious note I'm looking to make some quite dramatic changes to Sun Tzu's Art of War article. I left a brief, of sorts, on mytalk, usertalk thingy. I could do with advising on changes that I am proposing and how to implement them. I should be a regular visitor for the next week or so(as some editing is a course requiement), more intermittently thereafter. I see that you are also researching this endeavor so a collaboration of some description seems sensible. Please get in touch and keep in touch ASAP, for the next week or so, as I want to get an edit or two in prior to my assignment deadline(09/04/09). Working under the auspices of one more erudite than I at such matters might be just what the course is looking for me to do. Fithsun ( talk) 00:39, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I feel that this edit and its edit summary is inappropriate. Basically since day one I have been constantly bombarded with smears of the nature you have indulged in. The sock puppet allegation was shown to be unfounded but it is still used as a thought terminating cliche much to my dismay and frustration. My initial comment to your posting on ANI was not meant to be aggressive and I am sorry if you read it in such a way that you felt you needed to defend yourself by attacking my credibility. Interesting that Source Credibility should show itself such an important aspect of human interaction :) My apologies if you take offense at my last post, perhaps I should not have written it but I feel as though I have let the SP allegations slide for long enough. I hope we can all get along amicably in the future. Unomi ( talk) 20:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

It must be incredibly irritating to have someone say to you, "I know what you're thinking," as Uncle G said in his comment at the AfD, and imply your thinking and reading ability are faulty. Then to get pounced upon by a half dozen other administrators who tell you it is perfectly valid for Uncle G to tell you what you are thinking and insult you for thinking it, and you're wrong and have no basis for complaint! In fact, you might start looking around to see if you're becoming a cockroach. However, some people actually read what he said and realize taking offense under the circumstances is not unusual. In my opinion, though, Wikipedia administrators as a group do not listen well to criticism of members of their group; and Boston, above, has some solid advice: take the high road. I don't usually take that advice myself, but it would make editing Wikipedia more constructive overall for everyone I deal with here - and for me - if I did. Good luck. -- KP Botany ( talk) 23:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
"The fact that it is of so little regard as to prompt comments like "get over it", "go home and cry to mommy" and such, really shows how glaring this deficiency is. (I made those up, not quoting anyone)."
You sure you're not quoting what I call "drive-by smack attacks" at AN/I? Sounds like you are.
When I first started editing I was appalled at the rampant hostility among editors supposedly debating issues. The number of cheap shots at AN/I, mostly by administrators, makes it feel like 6th grade--and it's not the really young administrators who are the most guilty.
This, I suspect, will be the long run difference among encyclopedias: en.wiki will stand out for being the rudest place on the net.
On the other hand, I've been using act-hostile-first as my own editing mode on Wikipedia for a long time. Lately I realize it has only served the purpose of wasting my time. Along with everyone else's.
Your apology and taking responsibility for your own behaviour is a bright shining star in the right direction. -- KP Botany ( talk) 07:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I saw that one of your recent edits in the article Pakistani Trinidadian included removing info about the condemnation of Bhutto's assasination by the Pakistani community in Trinidad. Are you sure it is really worth deleting? What I am trying to say is that the Pakistani community does exist in Trinidad and it was just an effort to add on some references.
Furthermore, as you can see, an image has also been included in the article which is showing a "Pakistani foodstall." I think that is a notable component for clarification. I am in no way supporting this article but what I am trying to say is that in your logic, you will have to delete so many articles relating to the Pakistani diaspora, such as Irish Pakistani, Pakistanis in Kenya, Pakistanis in Tanzania, Pakistanis in Singapore etc. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Regarding the "time out" that you just offered me lately, first of all, let me make it clear that I did not write that "he has written newspapers since 1989." That was already written there by the original author. Secondly, when I wrote the word "extensively", all I was doing was just to intentionally square it up and make the tone sound right. If it constitutes to a grammatical error, I apologise for the offence- not that i've never seen users on Wikipedia so concerned about grammar before.
Thirdly, you seem to have an issue when I labelled him as a writer. For your information, the first sentence clearly shows that he is a writer and journalist so it was from this statement that I concluded that he is a writer. If this still violates some "Wikipedia policies," i'll remove that assertion for your pleasure. Fourthly, I don't know if this is a conception of mine, but in each of your responses that I've been reading, you are repeatedly associating me with this particular "author" which you seem to admire or know so much about. Before raking up all these small issues and emphasising the blame on me, I suggest that you come up with an adequate justification for criticism because as far as I know, your recent reply on my talk page was nothing but a paragraph presenting flawed expression of irritation without a rhyme or reason.
If you are frustrated at my pro- Pakistani Trinidadian stance, then fine, I'll get out of the issue and leave it for the best- all I was suggesting was to cut out unreferenced info, and just leave it as an article that says that "Pakistanis in Trinidad are a very small ethnic group" etc, as is the case with many articles written about different diasporas.
I appreciate your proposal for a time out, but I think I am perfectly in my senses and know what I am doing. Regards, Teckgeek ( talk) 05:27, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 11:26, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you & happy new year! :)Cheers, Charmaine —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charmainechen ( talk • contribs) 09:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to correctly respond to these messages. The Tankboy TV show is the first item I have listed, so its taken me a few days to put together. I'm still working on it though. I have requested information from several sources and I am still waiting for replies. You guys jump on so fast that it makes it hard for me (as I am still learning) to get anything together.
I am currently assembling information about the new Spartacus show being made for Starz. Its going to be awesome. I accidently found a whole lot of info when researching about Tankboy. I have more reference links to put into the Tankboy section soon. When I was gathering information I did not realize I needed to keep the links. I am now going back through finding that info. I will be much more sorted when it comes to Spartacus. I just love crazy, wild and really out there TV shows. I love the wikipedia concept and I use it all the time to find information about TV shows and decided it was time I got my shit together and added some bits. I'm a bit old and a little slow with some of this new fangled technology but I always get there in the end. Thanks Cooltv ( talk) 01:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
An article that you have been involved in editing, Tankboy, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tankboy. Thank you. Andy Dingley ( talk) 12:23, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. You were active in the previous AfDs for BrokeNCYDE, and on the article generally. Somebody has nominated it for deletion again, and considering your past interest, I thought it'd be fair to notify you about it, even though our views on their notability differs.

Hi,
Thanks for you input on the TCP reset attack page I posted last night. It's my first Wikipedia page, and I had no idea the page standards were so formal. I was also surprised by the rapid response.
I've edited the page to try to address your concerns, however as I didn't understand some of them, I'm sure I didn't fix everything. Specifically, I'm not sure what needs cleanup. The Wikipedia:Cleanup page is huge, and I"m not sure which of it's guidelines I've violated. I'm a terrible typist and my use of English is not the best, so it would be helpful to point to specific sections of problems which need cleanup; e.g. "section is confusing", "too many hyphens" or "typos in TCP reset section".
I have tried to address the link problems you mentioned; populating the reference section and moving external links to a section at the bottom. Please look these changes over and let me know if I'm moving in the right direction.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm still a bit green at this so I hope this entry doesn't pop up somewhere that it shouldn't. Apologies if it does. Anyhow i'm just a poor boy without even a poor family - my parents left me in the woods and I was raised by monkeys. I really miss my monkey mum. I am polite and considerate of others and currently living in a cave: it is only by serendipity I find myself with an internet connection. So please Sir, Mr Twisted, would you consider adopting me... On a more serious note I'm looking to make some quite dramatic changes to Sun Tzu's Art of War article. I left a brief, of sorts, on mytalk, usertalk thingy. I could do with advising on changes that I am proposing and how to implement them. I should be a regular visitor for the next week or so(as some editing is a course requiement), more intermittently thereafter. I see that you are also researching this endeavor so a collaboration of some description seems sensible. Please get in touch and keep in touch ASAP, for the next week or so, as I want to get an edit or two in prior to my assignment deadline(09/04/09). Working under the auspices of one more erudite than I at such matters might be just what the course is looking for me to do. Fithsun ( talk) 00:39, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

re: maintenance templates on new article
Queer/Strange requests that are notably strange since the article specifies numberous sources including materials that were publicly mass distributed by TV, Cable TV, public knowledge, and personal knowledge of persons mentioned including John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Perhaps before such articles be marked as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xaoskeller ( talk • contribs) 09:17, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I feel that this edit and its edit summary is inappropriate. Basically since day one I have been constantly bombarded with smears of the nature you have indulged in. The sock puppet allegation was shown to be unfounded but it is still used as a thought terminating cliche much to my dismay and frustration. My initial comment to your posting on ANI was not meant to be aggressive and I am sorry if you read it in such a way that you felt you needed to defend yourself by attacking my credibility. Interesting that Source Credibility should show itself such an important aspect of human interaction :) My apologies if you take offense at my last post, perhaps I should not have written it but I feel as though I have let the SP allegations slide for long enough. I hope we can all get along amicably in the future. Unomi ( talk) 20:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm giving this to you after noticing you expressed hurt feelings about what was said in the
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Source Credibility discussion. I wouldn't have taken the comments in question personally, but since you did I am sending you some comfort food. Try not to become mired in the debate about the debate (about the debate about the debate about the debate) but rather forgive and forget. Those things, along with kindness and civility, It's a key to happy editing! Best wishes. --

It must be incredibly irritating to have someone say to you, "I know what you're thinking," as Uncle G said in his comment at the AfD, and imply your thinking and reading ability are faulty. Then to get pounced upon by a half dozen other administrators who tell you it is perfectly valid for Uncle G to tell you what you are thinking and insult you for thinking it, and you're wrong and have no basis for complaint! In fact, you might start looking around to see if you're becoming a cockroach. However, some people actually read what he said and realize taking offense under the circumstances is not unusual. In my opinion, though, Wikipedia administrators as a group do not listen well to criticism of members of their group; and Boston, above, has some solid advice: take the high road. I don't usually take that advice myself, but it would make editing Wikipedia more constructive overall for everyone I deal with here - and for me - if I did. Good luck. -- KP Botany ( talk) 23:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
"The fact that it is of so little regard as to prompt comments like "get over it", "go home and cry to mommy" and such, really shows how glaring this deficiency is. (I made those up, not quoting anyone)."
You sure you're not quoting what I call "drive-by smack attacks" at AN/I? Sounds like you are.
When I first started editing I was appalled at the rampant hostility among editors supposedly debating issues. The number of cheap shots at AN/I, mostly by administrators, makes it feel like 6th grade--and it's not the really young administrators who are the most guilty.
This, I suspect, will be the long run difference among encyclopedias: en.wiki will stand out for being the rudest place on the net.
On the other hand, I've been using act-hostile-first as my own editing mode on Wikipedia for a long time. Lately I realize it has only served the purpose of wasting my time. Along with everyone else's.
Your apology and taking responsibility for your own behaviour is a bright shining star in the right direction. -- KP Botany ( talk) 07:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
(From TomCat talk page) Hi. I noticed you were helpful in reverting the vandalism for Cinemax that occurred recently. The editor in question has attempted to create redirects, and has also created a page now listed on the AfD discussion board [4]. If you have a moment, we could probably use someone more familiar with the intricacies of the tv topics, as that is not me. I was trying to retroactively clean up some of the messes that were made by the editor, who has now been blocked for one week. Best regards. -- Oliver Twisted (Talk) (Stuff) 04:51, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi there,
Just replying to your post on my user talk page.
That posting was a very weird accident: one second I was working innocently away at Wikiquote (creating a new article/entry thing there), then next second the thing had been created as a WikPEDIA article! I have no idea how or why this happened but have deleted the content of the wikip page & hopefully all will be well.
Sorry for the inconvenience.--

Hi! I saw that one of your recent edits in the article Pakistani Trinidadian included removing info about the condemnation of Bhutto's assasination by the Pakistani community in Trinidad. Are you sure it is really worth deleting? What I am trying to say is that the Pakistani community does exist in Trinidad and it was just an effort to add on some references.
Furthermore, as you can see, an image has also been included in the article which is showing a "Pakistani foodstall." I think that is a notable component for clarification. I am in no way supporting this article but what I am trying to say is that in your logic, you will have to delete so many articles relating to the Pakistani diaspora, such as Irish Pakistani, Pakistanis in Kenya, Pakistanis in Tanzania, Pakistanis in Singapore etc. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Regarding the "time out" that you just offered me lately, first of all, let me make it clear that I did not write that "he has written newspapers since 1989." That was already written there by the original author. Secondly, when I wrote the word "extensively", all I was doing was just to intentionally square it up and make the tone sound right. If it constitutes to a grammatical error, I apologise for the offence- not that i've never seen users on Wikipedia so concerned about grammar before.
Thirdly, you seem to have an issue when I labelled him as a writer. For your information, the first sentence clearly shows that he is a writer and journalist so it was from this statement that I concluded that he is a writer. If this still violates some "Wikipedia policies," i'll remove that assertion for your pleasure. Fourthly, I don't know if this is a conception of mine, but in each of your responses that I've been reading, you are repeatedly associating me with this particular "author" which you seem to admire or know so much about. Before raking up all these small issues and emphasising the blame on me, I suggest that you come up with an adequate justification for criticism because as far as I know, your recent reply on my talk page was nothing but a paragraph presenting flawed expression of irritation without a rhyme or reason.
If you are frustrated at my pro- Pakistani Trinidadian stance, then fine, I'll get out of the issue and leave it for the best- all I was suggesting was to cut out unreferenced info, and just leave it as an article that says that "Pakistanis in Trinidad are a very small ethnic group" etc, as is the case with many articles written about different diasporas.
I appreciate your proposal for a time out, but I think I am perfectly in my senses and know what I am doing. Regards, Teckgeek ( talk) 05:27, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 11:26, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
