I apologize for not knowing how to better get your attention than posting here. I am intending to add some information to the CAIR wiki page. As you have helped others in the past with NPOV, I want to insure your participation in this new discussion. Please feel free to delete this entry on your page, but let me know how to better contact you as well.
I've recently been chastised for my attempt to include links to iQcuties on a few pages related to intelligence and online dating. Admittedly, the site is mine. I have linked to other creations of mine from wikipedia and have not been met with this level of resistance. I am not trying to be spammy, so perhaps you can help me understand how those links go against the grain of Wikipedia. Thanks. Geneffects
I see you started a site for the NYSE. I am making a user group for Wikipedia:WikiProject Stock Exchange World Wide and would like you to take a look at it and maybe sign up. I could use your imput. John R G 05:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
User 24.12.208.181 has apparently taken the user name Yafnot after your 2nd Level warning. He has continued to delete content of Gun politics in the United States. Thanks. Yaf 06:14, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
When you deleted the content the first time, I posted a question asking your rationale and did not revert your change. You did not participate in the discussion, and have reverted your edit again. Please contribute on talk, so we can try to find consensus. Thanks! -- User:RyanFreisling @ 06:29, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, the article List of school pranks has been targeted by the Wikipedia Thought Police™. Please help preserve this marvellous testament to human inventiveness—and cruelty—from certain extinction by voting Keep at the article's deletion page if you haven't already done so. May algid reason never reign supreme! Thanks, Maikel 15:11, 4 April 2006 (UTC) PS: This is a generic message that has been hand-posted to you as a former contributor—hope you don't mind.
I’ve come to you because I know you’ve had some experience with preventing vandalism. The user (2 I.P. addresses for the same user) 70.176.164.107 and 82.12.97.249 is continuously vandalising my user page. He’s doing this because he doesn’t like what I’m saying about Michael Moore on my user page, but because it’s my user page I don’t think he should be allowed to keep doing this.
Is there anything you can do to help prevent this? Thanks. --

There was a vote that ended in a 9 to 5 majority in favour of keeping the template:User independent Iraq. The vote itself already shows it was not appropriate to speedy delete as there had already been a couple of people thinking about this. You abuse your powers. ROGNNTUDJUU! 04:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
That you lodged a false complaint against me for violating 3rr, when you were obviously engaging in VANDALISM which I was merely reverting, and then found an admin willing to VIOLATE 3rr policy in blocking a user for correcting VANDALISM, does not constitute a good faith editing of my talk page. pat8722 18:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking ASG1022. As you probably noticed, he also vandalized my user page (although I don't really mind sometimes, it boosts my "this page has been vandalized" userbox, which makes me think I must be doing something right in fighting vandals.) Con Dem Talk 01:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Friend I haved added an intro page about my website bepenfriends.com. But it is not visible. It is vanishing from wikipedia> I added my site intro and about in websites category where match.com, plentyoffish, eharmony are placed. But only my site page is getting deleted. There is no history of delete. Advice me what to do. You said not to add external links but what abt content. Am i not supposed to add anything in wiki. I added some content about friendship(not even specified my site name) even that is deleted. Even though content is related to friendship in my country. It is deleted.

Hi. You listed the following for deletion. Image:Johnson-mugshot.jpg Image:53233991.JPG Image:Pedro martinez 2005.jpg Image:CarlosDelgado.jpg. I've deleted Image:53233991.JPG because there's no way it qualifies for fair use (resolution too high and the copyright owner's logo is prominently displayed showing the claim the image). I've left the others as I believe the qualify for fair use, being low resolution and only being used to illustrate the people in question. I won't argue if you feel you need to list them again.

Hey, thanks for the warning about copyrighted material. Now please supply any indication you have that I've done so. Brainhell 16:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
While I appreciate your diligence, this statement is demonstrably false: "On January 8 2006 you copied Peter Dale Scott's biography from his own webpage." I would appreciate it if you would undo the changes you made that made the article completely unavailable.

The subject's page now says "(This page, and my Curriculum Vitae, are not copyrighted. They are available for legitimate public use or reproduction, though not for private gain.)" I think this may resolve the concern about copyright. Please let me know. Regarding Rhobite's concern about bias, no one is suggesting we take Scott's page verbatim (with the use of the word "I" for example); we can simply revert back to the edit prior to his block of the article. Agreed?
Brainhell
16:29, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your input, Rhobite. My article on the subject was original, the Jan. 10 version you blocked. Your concern was "copyright." Though I disagreed with your opinion, I respected your concern. The subject's page now says it's available for "public use or reproduction." Thus your concern is moot. In the interest of readers who might want to know about the subject, I'll revert your changes tomorrow or soon. Brainhell 01:16, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I would hope, under the circumstances, that you would not continue blocking this content. Rather than have one of the fabled "edit wars," I suggest that you take this issue to whatever arbitration process is available. I believe that the onus is on you to commence that process, since I intend to restore the content and you apparently believe it should not be restored. I checked your user page and it does not appear to state whether you are an admin; I don't know if you have the Wiki-authority continue blocking this content despite our disagreement. Perhaps more opinions are needed. Brainhell 01:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I've done a major revert on the article because the most recent version was plagued by edits from people with poor english, spelling and major POV. I reverted it to the most recent "Clean" version from a few weeks ago. Perhaps we should take it up with admin to semi-protect the page from anonymous and new users? huntersquid 19:47, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to drag you back again, but User:Efreeti has continued to remove the link to the "Hacking Netflix" site. Aside from the fact that I (and the small number of others weighing in on the issue) seem to feel that it is a worthwhile reference for the article, and that it has been somewhat mischaracterized as an amateur blog, etc., my sense of Wikipedia (FWIW) is that a single user continuing to make such a removal over even a small consensus as has been gathered is not the most useful of situations. This may just be an overzealous application of some sort of "no blogs" concept or other evaluation of the usefulness of the link that differs from ours. His most recent posting in Talk:Netflix mentioned "...until an admin provides guidance" - if you'd be willing to comment again on the issue, and/or suggest other admins who might provide useful input, it could be helpful in clearing this up. I don't want the article to get into a edit war over this, but I also hate to see the editing process yield to a single strong opinion to avoid conflict. Thanks, David Oberst 18:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
The Netflix issue has been put up in "Request for comment section" [1] and a mediation between Me, PhaseDMA, and you has been request to solve this issue. P.s. Netflix talk page needs to have the formatting fixed. -- Efreeti 20:33, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee in regard to the article Netflix. Mediation Committee procedure requires that all parties to a mediation be notified of the meditaion, and indicate an agreement to mediate within fourteen days. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation#Netflix, and indicate your agreement or refusal to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation or contact a member of the Mediation Committee.

I haven't removed his comments; what are you talking about? As for acting like children, I don't have a lot of choice but to simply revert his changes when he's lying about his edits (e.g. a neutral POV = vandalism). MBAguy 04:04, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
You seem to have expressed an interest in mediating the dispute over the promotion and reversion of NPOV edits to Ivy League business schools. If you're still interested, I'm writing to request that you help out, reviewing the talk page IN DETAIL and make up your mind as to what is going on and take appropriate action. Policing his disruptive edits is taking just way too much of my time, and my frustration is showing, to my embarassment. Thanks. MBAguy 04:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I have a newbie who does not understand sourcing or NPOV policies on wikipedia. She is User:Joan53. She has been consistently reverting good faith edits on the Maryland wikipedia page....note her contributions and subsequent arguing on other entries. She needs to understand the rules and also calm down. Her agenda is obvious and agendas/bias of any kind has no place here. She does not deal in verifiable info or facts in general.

per your warning: honestly sorry. Extenuating circumstances of being called a 'right winger' by 8bitJake and my mistaking your edit dropping "outdated and unfair" out of our desire to see the court system play an active role in striking down bad legislation led me to think that you were trying to make the statement seem extreme (a right wing tactic) got my blood boiling. I don't know about 8bit, but I now see that you were not trying to attack the article. Nikodemos (f.k.a: Mihnea) 19:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

According to User:Dragons flight/Evil looking lists, lists that are derived from polling data are OK.

Are you going to get rid of any list that is on this web site. First of all 110-101 of I Love Toys is not listed on the vh1 web site and there is a mistake in the listing of 100-81. On vh1.com they put D&D in the 90's list but it was 89 on that list. That list you got rid off was information about the show. I am sick of you getting rid of information even if it does not violate CR rules. I don't think lists violates copyright laws but you do. You got to stop and talk to Jimmy Wales. Maybe he will tell you what violates copyright laws and what doesn't. When the block comes off i am going to make the I Love Toys page different then it was. It won't be a list but I will put not a list, I will put the toys that did make the countdown from A-Z, But I hope you put back the 110-101 list because it is not listed on there web site, you have go the VSPOT to find that out and who with and DIAL-UP internet connection is go to find out what this 110-101 list is, NO ONE! So put that listing back on the article please. If you think i did anything wrong please tell it to me on my talk page. I'am telling my opinion about list on this web site. To let you know there is a lot of lists on this web site, so if you think they violate copyright laws take them out, but if you do you are getting rid of information that people won't know someday, because someday the web sites that have lists won't be there. I hope you think of this question over because the I Love Toys list won't be at the vh1.com site someday. Thank You.-- Stco23 17:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
What happens if I list the toys from A-Z, are you going to block me for that. I want an answer on my talk page. Thank You.-- Stco23 19:55, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Do you think the 110-101 list violates copyright laws even though it is not listed on the vh1.com web site and can be seen on VSPOT Video.-- Stco23 21:58, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Just because I'm posting via IP instead of my regular account, doesn't mean I do not understand what "NPOV" means.
LGF does not "cover" anything. News organizations "cover" stories. LGF posts other news organizations' articles and flame. Hence the reason for putting "coverage" in quotes.

Can you explain your reason for removing the POV tag from the Wal-Mart article? I'd argue that Criticism of Wal-Mart is a WP:POVFORK and the main article doesn't have a good enough summary for criticism. I would add the tag back in there myself, but I won't because I am also trying to rewrite that section ( draft). Tuxide 20:53, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
User:Podfather did another removal of the Wired link from the iPod article. I reverted and left another note on his Talk page, but I won't revert it again today. The account has only been used to remove this link - last Nov-Jan and starting again today. David Oberst 04:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I saw that you had a brief run in with User:SarahTeach a few months ago. She is back and as uncivil this time as last. Her comments on the Talk page for the Plagarism article and my own Talk page are very similar to the comments for which you addressed her behavior in January. She even removed another user's post from a Talk page, something which you warned her against in January. Would you be willing to again help address this user's conduct so that we can file a user-conduct RFC if necessary? I would hope that would not be necessary but given her history I am not very hopeful. :( I am also contacting User:Alabamaboy as he has also had discussions with SarahTeach in the recent past.
Of course, I am open to any other suggestions or advice you may have! -- ElKevbo 04:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I suppose you are likely right. I am not that familiar with the policies and will look into them. It just seemed to me that others would be interested in what happened with the bbs.fuckedcompany.com message board as until its recent demise, that was where 80%+ of the massive traffic was going to the site was going. I figured that would justify then having a section on the board with history. I did also figure that more comprehensiveness would good and benificial for users seekign information. However, I have to yeild to your opinion because obviously you are more familiar with the rules and guidlines than I am and from skimming a little bit it does not look like wikipedia wants great expanses of information about a topic, but more concise and focused information. Take care. Nisanu 01:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I hope I didn't appear to be too snippy on the Patrick Volkerding talk page, but if you'll check the history you'll see that the Three Revert Rule has been disregarded so this does become a matter for Wikipedia arbitration. I hope to convince you away from your current stance by referring you to HIPAA and libel as well as pointing out the lack of a substantitive source on which to defend this content. The only source is a Slashdot message. This is not a verifiable source, nor is it a citation of a reliable source. Whereas health information is temporal and continually updated within the confines of doctor-patient confidentiality (if such a diagnosis ever existed the diagnosis may be updated, changed or reverted at any moment without press releases or public announcements with which to update the article). US Federal Law prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of private medical information. Whereas there is NO PUBLIC RECORD of new or old diagnoses the matter should be viewed as utter heresay, although any lawyer with a penchant for libel law would could easily make a strong case for libel -- such a case would stand quite firmly on the tenets of HIPAA.
Whereas your re-addition lacked the scrutiny of a scan for current and verifiable sources as well as a misunderstanding of the legal prohibitions on this private information I respectfully request that you consider my points, the law and the ethical implications of such disclosure of private health information and stand-down on the matter rather than further escalate the issue to arbitration.
Thanks! Zosodada

I’ve recently purchased a 17 year old MFM hard drive for my personal collection. These are hard to come by and I thought the inside of an old hard drive might be appropriate for the history section of the hard drive article. The only problem is I don’t have access to a high quality digital camera so I used my 6600 mobile (cell phone) to take a picture of it. This is not a very high resolution image and I wondered if it the image Image:Hard drive mmf 1.PNG was high quality enough for Wikipedia. Do you believe the image is suitable? Thanks for you help.
If the image isn’t good enough I will have access to a high quality camera in two weeks time when I see my mum again. Miller 13:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Just letting WikiProject Buffyverse members know that the article ' Buffy the Vampire Slayer' has recently been nominated as a candidate to become a featured article. Should it become a featured article, it will be possible for the article to appear on the Wikipedia main page on March 10th 2007, the 10th anniversary of Buffy (the premiere, " Welcome to the Hellmouth" aired March 10th 1997).
Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination would be wonderful:

I'm not going to revert you, but there's no doubt among anyone I know who has encountered HP (etc.) that the section you removed is true: Agilent is the true descendent of Bill Hewlett and David Packard. The company now known as HP is just an appendage, and was hugely damaged by Fiorino's tenure at the helm; the HP Way does not exist there anymore.

He is being sued for sending false DMCA notices... not only that, but to do a search on Wiki for his exact name, you will find that he has placed himself in numerous articles. Google the guy, and you might find that it is worth taking some time to build a good article about him, especially since this suit will make establish some presidence in the high tech world for people that are trying to silence critics via DMCA.
Hi Rhobite, I was expanding the article for Affiliate marketing a lot and would like to ask you for your help when it comes to the grammar and wording. You did such a good job last time (several months ago) so I thought that it might be possible to borrow your editing skills again :). You don't have to of course. I try to get some more people to contribute to this topic in general at my blog. My time is also limited and the subject is pretty complex. Its growing slowly which is better than nothing.

I think the Sveasoft and WRT54G articles may be in need of full protection. Also, Renniy (and his sockpuppets) are flooding Wikipedia with personal attacks, heresay, and plain ol' lies.
On a lighter note: I love how this guy thinks he's got huge balls because he " drops d0x" like the script kiddie he is. As if anyone cares that they have their real name put on the Internet.

There are very reliable sources, which include the testimonies of over 20 fellow revolutionaries who fought along side Che, whose testimony is that he was an arrogant, ruthless, cold blooded killer of innocent, non-combatants. These are not Anti-Castro activists talking, these were his comrades in the Sierra Maestra. I am asking you BEFORE I post how you recommend anyone should proceed to show Che's ruthless side. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DoubleEagle32 ( talk • contribs) 13:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

People who suffer from profound mental retardation could not attend public schools. Not everyone can attend public schools...you need to have at least average ability. Just because one person doesn't pass the regents, doesn't mean that person doesn't have average ability..they may have special educational needs...which i have mentioned. You make me so angry...you didn't even tell me that you were going to change it. I gave you a reason. So now just accept it. There is nothing wrong with using an IP address.

Hi Rhobite,
In the deletion discussion for Great Neck Village School you said you saw nothing particularly notable about it. I happened to click on the Alternative schools article which mentioned that there were very few alternative high schools in the U.S. back in 1970 (admittedly, it's an unsourced statement in that article), and that year called to mind something I'd read whille Googling the school: it was founded in 1970. That makes it one of the oldest alternative high schools in the U.S. I think that's very notable. (I wrote up a sentence or two on it and stuck it in the article.) What do you think?

I apologize for not knowing how to better get your attention than posting here. I am intending to add some information to the CAIR wiki page. As you have helped others in the past with NPOV, I want to insure your participation in this new discussion. Please feel free to delete this entry on your page, but let me know how to better contact you as well.
I've recently been chastised for my attempt to include links to iQcuties on a few pages related to intelligence and online dating. Admittedly, the site is mine. I have linked to other creations of mine from wikipedia and have not been met with this level of resistance. I am not trying to be spammy, so perhaps you can help me understand how those links go against the grain of Wikipedia. Thanks. Geneffects

The user (2 I.P. addresses for the same user) 70.176.164.107 and 82.12.97.249 is continuously vandalising my user page.

That you lodged a false complaint against me for violating 3rr, when you were obviously engaging in VANDALISM which I was merely reverting, and then found an admin willing to VIOLATE 3rr policy in blocking a user for correcting VANDALISM, does not constitute a good faith editing of my talk page. pat8722 18:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

The subject's page now says "(This page, and my Curriculum Vitae, are not copyrighted. They are available for legitimate public use or reproduction, though not for private gain.)" I think this may resolve the concern about copyright. Please let me know. Regarding Rhobite's concern about bias, no one is suggesting we take Scott's page verbatim (with the use of the word "I" for example); we can simply revert back to the edit prior to his block of the article. Agreed?
Brainhell
16:29, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your input, Rhobite. My article on the subject was original, the Jan. 10 version you blocked. Your concern was "copyright." Though I disagreed with your opinion, I respected your concern. The subject's page now says it's available for "public use or reproduction." Thus your concern is moot. In the interest of readers who might want to know about the subject, I'll revert your changes tomorrow or soon. Brainhell 01:16, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I would hope, under the circumstances, that you would not continue blocking this content. Rather than have one of the fabled "edit wars," I suggest that you take this issue to whatever arbitration process is available. I believe that the onus is on you to commence that process, since I intend to restore the content and you apparently believe it should not be restored. I checked your user page and it does not appear to state whether you are an admin; I don't know if you have the Wiki-authority continue blocking this content despite our disagreement. Perhaps more opinions are needed. Brainhell 01:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I've done a major revert on the article because the most recent version was plagued by edits from people with poor english, spelling and major POV. I reverted it to the most recent "Clean" version from a few weeks ago. Perhaps we should take it up with admin to semi-protect the page from anonymous and new users? huntersquid 19:47, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to drag you back again, but User:Efreeti has continued to remove the link to the "Hacking Netflix" site. Aside from the fact that I (and the small number of others weighing in on the issue) seem to feel that it is a worthwhile reference for the article, and that it has been somewhat mischaracterized as an amateur blog, etc., my sense of Wikipedia (FWIW) is that a single user continuing to make such a removal over even a small consensus as has been gathered is not the most useful of situations. This may just be an overzealous application of some sort of "no blogs" concept or other evaluation of the usefulness of the link that differs from ours. His most recent posting in Talk:Netflix mentioned "...until an admin provides guidance" - if you'd be willing to comment again on the issue, and/or suggest other admins who might provide useful input, it could be helpful in clearing this up. I don't want the article to get into a edit war over this, but I also hate to see the editing process yield to a single strong opinion to avoid conflict. Thanks, David Oberst 18:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Are you going to get rid of any list that is on this web site. First of all 110-101 of I Love Toys is not listed on the vh1 web site and there is a mistake in the listing of 100-81. On vh1.com they put D&D in the 90's list but it was 89 on that list. That list you got rid off was information about the show. I am sick of you getting rid of information even if it does not violate CR rules. I don't think lists violates copyright laws but you do. You got to stop and talk to Jimmy Wales. Maybe he will tell you what violates copyright laws and what doesn't. When the block comes off i am going to make the I Love Toys page different then it was. It won't be a list but I will put not a list, I will put the toys that did make the countdown from A-Z, But I hope you put back the 110-101 list because it is not listed on there web site, you have go the VSPOT to find that out and who with and DIAL-UP internet connection is go to find out what this 110-101 list is, NO ONE! So put that listing back on the article please. If you think i did anything wrong please tell it to me on my talk page. I'am telling my opinion about list on this web site. To let you know there is a lot of lists on this web site, so if you think they violate copyright laws take them out, but if you do you are getting rid of information that people won't know someday, because someday the web sites that have lists won't be there. I hope you think of this question over because the I Love Toys list won't be at the vh1.com site someday. Thank You.-- Stco23 17:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I saw that you had a brief run in with User:SarahTeach a few months ago. She is back and as uncivil this time as last. Her comments on the Talk page for the Plagarism article and my own Talk page are very similar to the comments for which you addressed her behavior in January. She even removed another user's post from a Talk page, something which you warned her against in January. Would you be willing to again help address this user's conduct so that we can file a user-conduct RFC if necessary? I would hope that would not be necessary but given her history I am not very hopeful. :( I am also contacting User:Alabamaboy as he has also had discussions with SarahTeach in the recent past.

I suppose you are likely right. I am not that familiar with the policies and will look into them. It just seemed to me that others would be interested in what happened with the bbs.fuckedcompany.com message board as until its recent demise, that was where 80%+ of the massive traffic was going to the site was going. I figured that would justify then having a section on the board with history. I did also figure that more comprehensiveness would good and benificial for users seekign information. However, I have to yeild to your opinion because obviously you are more familiar with the rules and guidlines than I am and from skimming a little bit it does not look like wikipedia wants great expanses of information about a topic, but more concise and focused information.

Hi, I hope I didn't appear to be too snippy on the Patrick Volkerding talk page, but if you'll check the history you'll see that the Three Revert Rule has been disregarded so this does become a matter for Wikipedia arbitration. I hope to convince you away from your current stance by referring you to HIPAA and libel as well as pointing out the lack of a substantitive source on which to defend this content. The only source is a Slashdot message. This is not a verifiable source, nor is it a citation of a reliable source. Whereas health information is temporal and continually updated within the confines of doctor-patient confidentiality (if such a diagnosis ever existed the diagnosis may be updated, changed or reverted at any moment without press releases or public announcements with which to update the article). US Federal Law prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of private medical information. Whereas there is NO PUBLIC RECORD of new or old diagnoses the matter should be viewed as utter heresay, although any lawyer with a penchant for libel law would could easily make a strong case for libel -- such a case would stand quite firmly on the tenets of HIPAA.
Whereas your re-addition lacked the scrutiny of a scan for current and verifiable sources as well as a misunderstanding of the legal prohibitions on this private information I respectfully request that you consider my points, the law and the ethical implications of such disclosure of private health information and stand-down on the matter rather than further escalate the issue to arbitration.
Thanks! Zosodada

I’ve recently purchased a 17 year old MFM hard drive for my personal collection. These are hard to come by and I thought the inside of an old hard drive might be appropriate for the history section of the hard drive article. The only problem is I don’t have access to a high quality digital camera so I used my 6600 mobile (cell phone) to take a picture of it. This is not a very high resolution image and I wondered if it the image Image:Hard drive mmf 1.PNG was high quality enough for Wikipedia. Do you believe the image is suitable? Thanks for you help.

Hi
Just letting WikiProject Buffyverse members know that the article ' Buffy the Vampire Slayer' has recently been nominated as a candidate to become a featured article. Should it become a featured article, it will be possible for the article to appear on the Wikipedia main page on March 10th 2007, the 10th anniversary of Buffy (the premiere, " Welcome to the Hellmouth" aired March 10th 1997).
Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination would be wonderful:

Google the guy, and you might find that it is worth taking some time to build a good article about him, especially since this suit will make establish some presidence in the high tech world for people that are trying to silence critics via DMCA.
Hi Rhobite, I was expanding the article for Affiliate marketing a lot and would like to ask you for your help when it comes to the grammar and wording. You did such a good job last time (several months ago) so I thought that it might be possible to borrow your editing skills again :). You don't have to of course. I try to get some more people to contribute to this topic in general at my blog. My time is also limited and the subject is pretty complex. Its growing slowly which is better than nothing. We will get there. One listened to my call already and did some improvements. Thanks in advance and happy Thanksgiving. Cheers! -- roy<sac> Talk! .oOo. 10:41, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Without citing any policy page or prividing a direct link, you stated, "recipes are not appropriate wikipedia [sic] content."
Please point to the Wikipedia page where there is an official written policy stating, specifically, that recipes are not appropriate Wikipedia content. Until that time, I have returned the material you blanked from the article. Carmela Soprano 04:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
A better policy to quote to Carmela Soprano might be the one on copyrights, since her recipe is word-for-word identical to this one. -- Calton | Talk 14:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
You have violated Wikipedia's three-revert rule in the baked ziti article. As well, because of your false statements to me and failure to follow other Wikipedia policies, I have initiated a complaint procedure against you for Administrator abuse. Carmela Soprano 05:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.
Please consider taking our survey here.
This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.
We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

I think the Sveasoft and WRT54G articles may be in need of full protection. Also, Renniy (and his sockpuppets) are flooding Wikipedia with personal attacks, heresay, and plain ol' lies.
On a lighter note: I love how this guy thinks he's got huge balls because he " drops d0x" like the script kiddie he is. As if anyone cares that they have their real name put on the Internet. This is, of course, a violation of Wikipedia's policies, but considering how many rules this guy has violated, I'm not surprised. -- Tokachu 17:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Rhobite, I just AO-blocked 159.247.236.221 for a month, but I also noticed your comment on the block log. I'm not sure if you want to make good on this promise, but I just thought I should let you know about the latest block. Cheers, Deathphoenix ʕ 17:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

How do you propose anyone should add any material that describes Che as personally executing, many times with his own pistol, ordinary Cubans during the revolution? There are very reliable sources, which include the testimonies of over 20 fellow revolutionaries who fought along side Che, whose testimony is that he was an arrogant, ruthless, cold blooded killer of innocent, non-combatants. These are not Anti-Castro activists talking, these were his comrades in the Sierra Maestra. I am asking you BEFORE I post how you recommend anyone should proceed to show Che's ruthless side. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DoubleEagle32 ( talk • contribs) 13:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

Have you seen the page for Sticky Fingers lately? BGC really edited the hell out of it. Stan weller 22:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Please see the Jehu Eyre talk page. I think you'll agree that I've done a fine job.

If you do not feel you are qualified to analyze the sources provided in the article, please alert those who would be so that this can be resolved. I would be glad to bring others into the discussion if need be.

People who suffer from profound mental retardation could not attend public schools. Not everyone can attend public schools...you need to have at least average ability. Just because one person doesn't pass the regents, doesn't mean that person doesn't have average ability..they may have special educational needs...which i have mentioned. You make me so angry...you didn't even tell me that you were going to change it. I gave you a reason. So now just accept it. There is nothing wrong with using an IP address.

Hi Rhobite,
In the deletion discussion for Great Neck Village School you said you saw nothing particularly notable about it. I happened to click on the Alternative schools article which mentioned that there were very few alternative high schools in the U.S. back in 1970 (admittedly, it's an unsourced statement in that article), and that year called to mind something I'd read whille Googling the school: it was founded in 1970. That makes it one of the oldest alternative high schools in the U.S. I think that's very notable. (I wrote up a sentence or two on it and stuck it in the article.) What do you think?
