Sorry mate. I was just trying to make a template that was easier and quicker to read. In my opinion mine looks better, but if you really want me to change it back I will do so. I got the inspiration off the template used on the bottom of
David Lean page.
The white space problem is easily solved by shortening the width from "100%" to a lower number.
There was no reason for the choice in colours. I guess blue was the main colour chosen because it matches the Wikipedia links.

I have a quick question. Why do you not wish to include fans of the National Hot Rod Association in as a category? I ask this because there are people who are fans of this sport who would love to have other user know about this? Please explain. Thanks Chris 18:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Cure Festival 2005.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 23:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Pomte. Regarding your removing the "hide"-able film table at the Minori Aoi article: The reason I've been adding this to the longer filmographies is that I've seen some discussion to the effect that these lists should be limited to only 6 films, so as not to overwhelm the articles. I completely disagree with that, feeling that and encyclopedia article should be, well, encyclopedic (that is, comprehensive, thorough...). But I think collapsing the larger filmographies would make a decent compromise. I don't notice the problem you mention, with the table being un-hideable. I see that I did put the hiding code in the wrong location at that article, so that the filmography could not be jumped to from the article's index. If I fix that would you still object to the hide-able feature? I'll go ahead and restore the data that was lost in your reversion, but will hold off on the hide-able feature for now. Regards. Dekkappai 18:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
style="clear:right;"
, but this will create a huge space between the "Life and career" text and the table.toccolours
or wikitable
. I think wikitable
is more appropriate than toccolours
because it is not a table of contents, and wikitable
has neater borders. Making it
sortable can be useful too, if it is really long.I hope that you will consider taking your material on real-life fight clubs and turning it into an article in its own right. Otto4711 15:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Why not create a Fight Club in society article? The Delete votes are more likely to be due to the directory of Fight Club mentions. They are essentially trivia sections -- they're isolated facts that only loosely regard the topic. I think that a Fight Club in societyarticle focused on critical interpretations by people with attributable credentials (not the guy who writes the Gossip column for Salon.com, for example) and media coverage of real-life fight clubs. WP:IPC says, "There is often no level of selectivity implied in the article as to the level of substance of the reference (i. e. a passing reference as opposed to use as a topic or main theme), or the level of importance of the reference (i. e. a major motion picture vs. obscure musical or video game references)." If you want to maintain the list better (as I foresee a no consensus), it should be whittled down to items that have Fight Club as a core influence -- items that purposely draw upon multiple contemporary references including Fight Club make its mention extremely trivial. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 19:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

No articles use this template. I'm guessing that you thought this this section uses this template. It doesn't. In fact, no articles use the template. What is in the ATWT history section are simple links to the history articles, not the template. So removing the template would have no effect on the ATWT article. Essentially, this template is just taking up space. -- Woohookitty Woohoo! 20:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I would have to agree that WP:DRV would be the most expedient process in this case. Both sides had some plausible arguments (and, of course, both sides also had ridiculous ones), but the delete arguments not only outnumbered the keep ones (which is insignificant; I don't pay attention to numbers in these cases), but they were at least grounded in one important aspect of Wikipedia policy. I'm not implying that your arguments were in vain (I found them quite intellectually stimulating, if I can say that without any unintended sarcasm), but that some of the keep arguments bordered on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, especially in your examples of other similar articles near the beginning. Of course, a more amicable (and time-saving) approach would be to let you userfy the deleted contents so that you can clean it up in a more presentable format, as I do believe that there is a bunch of trash sprinkled with fine grains of encyclopedic material, although it is completely your prerogative to submit a DRV.
Your civil and understanding tone really struck me as a surprise, given the last 2 conflicts I had with AfD (most notably the HHO gas controversy, which is now happily defused at the moment). — Kurykh 18:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Just a quick note to say that I'm not completely happy with your recent edit to Explosions in the Sky, removing the images as being "non-free". Perhaps you're just following policy, and if so I have no qualms with you, but over the last few weeks it just seems to me like numerous articles have had images removed, deleted or changed, all because some people decided that the old fair use guidelines are now useless. Hurball 22:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
You've made the article much better and I commend you for it but it is up for deletion so I was wondering if you would like to voice your opinion on the AFD page. Andman8 16:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I can understand your trepidation lest the Tapeworm footer become a huge list of templates, but is that adequate justification to remove the NIN template? Tapeworm began solely as a Nine Inch Nails side-project and was always directed by musicians concurrently in Nine Inch Nails (i.e., Reznor, Lohner and Clouser). That should be more than enough to justify the inclusion of the NIN template on the page. -- rynne 19:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I've been being a little slow about this, but (check the project page) we need to start brushing up the Evangelion articles to the point that they are "Good Article" status (it doesn't matter if they get Featured or something, just that they're good enough that they theoretically could be at that standard). This means making sure that they are EXACTLY in accordance with all of wikipedia's rules and regulations (i.e. gutting them of all of our own Analysis; i.e. on the episode articles and Angel names and such). This doesn't actually concern me that much. (What are you planning Ikari?--Keel) -- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici 20:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

There needs to be a discussion to establish consensus before a page can be moved; the Canadian naming convention does not permit the move to be an arbitrary decision by a single editor.

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Chicken balls, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if
consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{

I seem to remember discussing this in the past, but it's been awhile, so perhaps your memory is clearer on it.
That said, I think your version was intended to prevent a userbox not on a userpage to cause categorisation, correct?
In addition you removed the userboxes from the subcats (the noinclude |* lines), which was intended as a boon to navigation for those who may find the boxes through the categories, and for those of us who may need to alter them as a result of a UCFD discussion.
So how's your memory? : ) - jc37 12:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
|*]]
with | ]]
to sort with the space character rather than the asterisk character. I believe that usually the "main" page(s) of a category has key space, and the asterisk is for lists and subtopics e.g.
Category:2007. Aesthetically, the * may stand out too much and doesn't signify enough, though the space may signify too little. Anyway, I wouldn't push for this personal preference. –

12:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Thanks for pointing out that he has more than 2000 edits if deleted contribs are considered. As an admin, I can also see that he has fewer than 500 deleted contribs. However, the first time I ran for adminship, I had more than 2000 edits and 1000 deleted contribs. And I failed. So, nurture instead of nature.

Hi you have made edits at Wikipedia:What_Were_They_Thinking? which are formatted like edits on talk pages- i.e. you have replied to the points and signed using four tildes. Could you possibly integrate your points into the essay, or share these thoughts on the talk page? When you are writing in an article you do not need to sign with tildes, that's for the talk pages (don't worry, I've done this myself on other wikis!) Merkinsmum 03:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for clearing away the deprecated example in the template tutorial I designed. Since I feel like I don't really have a grasp on what's changed, could you propose an alternative example? (Or is #if on the way out entirely?) Thanks again. – Scartol • Tok 14:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:StoogesStooges.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) 06:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pomte, FYI, you and I were in edit conflict on this page. I put my comments above yours, where I had started writing them, to keep them just below comments from 7Kim. However, I've realised that this may make it look like you would have seen my comments when you made yours. As such, I thought I should let you know. I'd be happy to add an "edit conflict" note of some sort, if you'd like - just let me know. Best, Jay*Jay ( talk) 03:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I just wanted to give you a kudos on what you've done with the Demonoid article. I tried looking for legitimate sources for the site to establish notability before nominating it for AfD but as I'm sure you know with a site like that it's tough. You've done a great job and if I ran across that article today for the first time I'd never consider it for AfD, in particular the Deathly Hallows leak was a nice catch. I don't think there's a snowball's chance that it'll be deleted now, not because of so many people saying "Keep" as much as the work you've done. -- Atama chat 16:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
No. There were 8 out of 10 diggs, and they _were_ related to Scientology's illegal activities, and/or controversial quotes. Maybe the word struggle is too strong- but just saying that Scientology was featured a lot on digg is not enough- it needs to be shown that they were negatively portrayed- not just covered. Thanks.

I will stop making the changes to the single digit dates as requested but regarding the retrieved on date, this makes things easier to fix if the link breaks due to the website changing or if it gets turned off completely. Having the retrieved on date allows the editor to easily retrieve the historical link from the internet archive site.-- Kumioko ( talk) 21:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
format looks better and its not as messy on the page but its not worth starting an edit war over something that trivial. Regarding the Retrieved on...that has been stated to me several times that its a best practice. Here is one of several notes on it that I ave recieved "Note, that for all webpage links, it is a best practice when you first add an external link to include the retrieve date. This allows a reader/editor to retrieve the referenced version from archives when a page is changed/moved/deleted." This one was left by ERcheck. In the spirit of good relations though, if you can show me were its stated as against wikirules please let me know.-- Kumioko ( talk) 22:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I was just wondering why, in your recent edit to David Hume, you removed the reference to Derek Parfit's Reasons and Persons. Postmodern Beatnik ( talk) 17:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I'd just like to clear up some things.
We're not listing memes, it's an example for incomprehensibility. ED is mentioned in exactly the source you removed. To show that the source is 'horribly incorrect', you may need some other reliable source to back you up. We're not out to enforce truth here.
When I referred to a "list of memes", I meant this section of the text:
Besides lolcats, memes include the 'FBI party van' for legally questionable content. [1]
Considering that the source was linked to this, and not the part which talked about ED, its use as an example was moot. ;) -- Muna ( talk) 04:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry mate. I was just trying to make a template that was easier and quicker to read. In my opinion mine looks better, but if you really want me to change it back I will do so. I got the inspiration off the template used on the bottom of
David Lean page.
The white space problem is easily solved by shortening the width from "100%" to a lower number.
There was no reason for the choice in colours. I guess blue was the main colour chosen because it matches the Wikipedia links.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Cure Festival 2005.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 23:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Pomte. Regarding your removing the "hide"-able film table at the Minori Aoi article: The reason I've been adding this to the longer filmographies is that I've seen some discussion to the effect that these lists should be limited to only 6 films, so as not to overwhelm the articles. I completely disagree with that, feeling that and encyclopedia article should be, well, encyclopedic (that is, comprehensive, thorough...). But I think collapsing the larger filmographies would make a decent compromise. I don't notice the problem you mention, with the table being un-hideable. I see that I did put the hiding code in the wrong location at that article, so that the filmography could not be jumped to from the article's index. If I fix that would you still object to the hide-able feature? I'll go ahead and restore the data that was lost in your reversion, but will hold off on the hide-able feature for now. Regards. Dekkappai 18:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
style="clear:right;"
, but this will create a huge space between the "Life and career" text and the table.toccolours
or wikitable
. I think wikitable
is more appropriate than toccolours
because it is not a table of contents, and wikitable
has neater borders. Making it
sortable can be useful too, if it is really long.I hope that you will consider taking your material on real-life fight clubs and turning it into an article in its own right. Otto4711 15:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Why not create a Fight Club in society article? The Delete votes are more likely to be due to the directory of Fight Club mentions. They are essentially trivia sections -- they're isolated facts that only loosely regard the topic. I think that a Fight Club in societyarticle focused on critical interpretations by people with attributable credentials (not the guy who writes the Gossip column for Salon.com, for example) and media coverage of real-life fight clubs. WP:IPC says, "There is often no level of selectivity implied in the article as to the level of substance of the reference (i. e. a passing reference as opposed to use as a topic or main theme), or the level of importance of the reference (i. e. a major motion picture vs. obscure musical or video game references)." If you want to maintain the list better (as I foresee a no consensus), it should be whittled down to items that have Fight Club as a core influence -- items that purposely draw upon multiple contemporary references including Fight Club make its mention extremely trivial. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 19:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

No articles use this template. I'm guessing that you thought this this section uses this template. It doesn't. In fact, no articles use the template. What is in the ATWT history section are simple links to the history articles, not the template. So removing the template would have no effect on the ATWT article. Essentially, this template is just taking up space. -- Woohookitty Woohoo! 20:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I would have to agree that WP:DRV would be the most expedient process in this case. Both sides had some plausible arguments (and, of course, both sides also had ridiculous ones), but the delete arguments not only outnumbered the keep ones (which is insignificant; I don't pay attention to numbers in these cases), but they were at least grounded in one important aspect of Wikipedia policy. I'm not implying that your arguments were in vain (I found them quite intellectually stimulating, if I can say that without any unintended sarcasm), but that some of the keep arguments bordered on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, especially in your examples of other similar articles near the beginning. Of course, a more amicable (and time-saving) approach would be to let you userfy the deleted contents so that you can clean it up in a more presentable format, as I do believe that there is a bunch of trash sprinkled with fine grains of encyclopedic material, although it is completely your prerogative to submit a DRV.
Your civil and understanding tone really struck me as a surprise, given the last 2 conflicts I had with AfD (most notably the HHO gas controversy, which is now happily defused at the moment). — Kurykh 18:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Just a quick note to say that I'm not completely happy with your recent edit to Explosions in the Sky, removing the images as being "non-free". Perhaps you're just following policy, and if so I have no qualms with you, but over the last few weeks it just seems to me like numerous articles have had images removed, deleted or changed, all because some people decided that the old fair use guidelines are now useless.

I can understand your trepidation lest the Tapeworm footer become a huge list of templates, but is that adequate justification to remove the NIN template? Tapeworm began solely as a Nine Inch Nails side-project and was always directed by musicians concurrently in Nine Inch Nails (i.e., Reznor, Lohner and Clouser). That should be more than enough to justify the inclusion of the NIN template on the page. -- rynne 19:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

This means making sure that they are EXACTLY in accordance with all of wikipedia's rules and regulations (i.e. gutting them of all of our own Analysis; i.e. on the episode articles and Angel names and such).

I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed Nine Inch Nails WikiProject. There's alot of NIN-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help me get this project of the ground and a few Nine Inch Nails pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks!

Hi there, first of all, thanks for creating this infobox. I'm not sure why but it only seems to display some of the completed fields e.g power plant, but not others e.g Headquarters or Location. Whatever text you enter next to Headquarters only appears as {{{Location}}} while the Location field doesn't appear at all. Is this supposed to happen? Mighty Antar 16:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey, there. Sorry to disturb you, but I am a bit unfamiliar with the template portion of wikicode, and I was wondering, when you changed the template on my talk page by adding Template: in front of the tag, what did that do, and why is that important? Thanks :) — Nova Dog — ( contribs) 22:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
There needs to be a discussion to establish consensus before a page can be moved; the Canadian naming convention does not permit the move to be an arbitrary decision by a single editor. Particularly in this case, I'm not convinced that a hyphen vs. a comma is really sufficient to distinguish the Chatham-Kent in Ontario from the Chatham, Kent in England.

An editor has nominated The Seldon Plan, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Seldon Plan and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 16:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
As per your request at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 December 28, I have marked the template as historical. Please let me know when you are done using its data so it can be deleted. Cheers, RyanGerbil10 (Говорить!) 00:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

In this article you went through and removed each "." from the "<br. />" wikicode.
It's quite unimportant, but would you be kind enough to provide what your reason(s) was/were for doing that? I'm afraid that I don't quite see what it accomplished.
Respectfully yours,

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikipedia. When removing text, please specify a reason in the
edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's
talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the
page history. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. Thank you.
Pomte,
Thank you for solving my template issues! It's just what I was looking for. -- Caponer ( talk) 15:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I seem to remember discussing this in the past, but it's been awhile, so perhaps your memory is clearer on it.
That said, I think your version was intended to prevent a userbox not on a userpage to cause categorisation, correct?
In addition you removed the userboxes from the subcats (the noinclude |* lines), which was intended as a boon to navigation for those who may find the boxes through the categories, and for those of us who may need to alter them as a result of a UCFD discussion.
So how's your memory? : ) - jc37 12:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
|*]]
with | ]]
to sort with the space character rather than the asterisk character. I believe that usually the "main" page(s) of a category has key space, and the asterisk is for lists and subtopics e.g.
Category:2007. Aesthetically, the * may stand out too much and doesn't signify enough, though the space may signify too little. Anyway, I wouldn't push for this personal preference. –

12:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Thanks for pointing out that he has more than 2000 edits if deleted contribs are considered. As an admin, I can also see that he has fewer than 500 deleted contribs. However, the first time I ran for adminship, I had more than 2000 edits and 1000 deleted contribs. And I failed. So, nurture instead of nature. If I couldn't make it with those stats, he can't make it with his. That's just the way I was brought up in RFA. Useight ( talk) 17:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi you have made edits at Wikipedia:What_Were_They_Thinking? which are formatted like edits on talk pages- i.e. you have replied to the points and signed using four tildes. Could you possibly integrate your points into the essay, or share these thoughts on the talk page? When you are writing in an article you do not need to sign with tildes, that's for the talk pages (don't worry, I've done this myself on other wikis!) Merkinsmum 03:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for clearing away the deprecated example in the template tutorial I designed. Since I feel like I don't really have a grasp on what's changed, could you propose an alternative example? (Or is #if on the way out entirely?) Thanks again. – Scartol • Tok 14:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pomte, FYI, you and I were in edit conflict on this page. I put my comments above yours, where I had started writing them, to keep them just below comments from 7Kim. However, I've realised that this may make it look like you would have seen my comments when you made yours. As such, I thought I should let you know. I'd be happy to add an "edit conflict" note of some sort, if you'd like - just let me know. Best, Jay*Jay ( talk) 03:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I just wanted to give you a kudos on what you've done with the Demonoid article. I tried looking for legitimate sources for the site to establish notability before nominating it for AfD but as I'm sure you know with a site like that it's tough. You've done a great job and if I ran across that article today for the first time I'd never consider it for AfD, in particular the Deathly Hallows leak was a nice catch. I don't think there's a snowball's chance that it'll be deleted now, not because of so many people saying "Keep" as much as the work you've done. -- Atama chat 16:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
No. There were 8 out of 10 diggs, and they _were_ related to Scientology's illegal activities, and/or controversial quotes. Maybe the word struggle is too strong- but just saying that Scientology was featured a lot on digg is not enough- it needs to be shown that they were negatively portrayed- not just covered. Thanks. Arghlookamonkey ( talk) 15:21, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I will stop making the changes to the single digit dates as requested but regarding the retrieved on date, this makes things easier to fix if the link breaks due to the website changing or if it gets turned off completely. Having the retrieved on date allows the editor to easily retrieve the historical link from the internet archive site.-- Kumioko ( talk) 21:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
format looks better and its not as messy on the page but its not worth starting an edit war over something that trivial. Regarding the Retrieved on...that has been stated to me several times that its a best practice. Here is one of several notes on it that I ave recieved "Note, that for all webpage links, it is a best practice when you first add an external link to include the retrieve date. This allows a reader/editor to retrieve the referenced version from archives when a page is changed/moved/deleted." This one was left by ERcheck. In the spirit of good relations though, if you can show me were its stated as against wikirules please let me know.-- Kumioko ( talk) 22:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I was just wondering why, in your recent edit to David Hume, you removed the reference to Derek Parfit's Reasons and Persons. Postmodern Beatnik ( talk) 17:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I'd just like to clear up some things.
We're not listing memes, it's an example for incomprehensibility. ED is mentioned in exactly the source you removed. To show that the source is 'horribly incorrect', you may need some other reliable source to back you up. We're not out to enforce truth here.
When I referred to a "list of memes", I meant this section of the text:
Besides lolcats, memes include the 'FBI party van' for legally questionable content. [1]
Considering that the source was linked to this, and not the part which talked about ED, its use as an example was moot. ;) -- Muna ( talk) 04:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
