Ehm...what's the problem with the edits? I can get references, but they're certainly verifiable. Wotapalaver ( talk) 19:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Please make sure you do not revert to an earlier vandalized version, as in [1]. Thanks for vour nandal fighting efforts. The socks are out in force today vandalizing this article. Edison ( talk) 15:50, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Ping! -- ROGER DAVIES talk 05:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Nope you didn't miss anything, I didn't see the sig and assumed the candidate answered the question. My fault, though there's a discussion going on at WT:RFA about questions and so on, I made a comment there if you want to know why I said what I did (aside from me being an idiot of course!). RxS ( talk) 04:09, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Tan , I guess this is a liitle more difficult than I knew, I am new here and unfamilliar with the rules etc. I have no intention of Vandalizing wiki. I saw several mentions of the Band STP on other pages. And being familliar with the boston hardcore scene in the 80's was suprised that there was no reference on the STP page. I did not know I would have to make a full page, although I guess i could, with albums released etc. maybe later when I have time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boldskool ( talk • contribs) 15:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for that. :) If you have any comments on my work in the meantime, please don't hesitate to let me know! Cheers! Redfarmer ( talk) 16:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Tan, I don't know what you've got against me, but I merely deleted the words "suffered heavier casualties". Does that really warrant a discussion? ( Trip Johnson ( talk) 17:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC))
Nope, not me. Didn't even know you could email editors off-wikipedia, how do you do that? Helixweb ( talk) 03:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Firstly, it was tagged as speedy, which I removed. Secondly, the article claims the subject to be a TV personality, a writer, a businessman and a model. It sounnded unlikely to me so I removed the speedy tag, since there was a claim to notability and PRODded as I suspected a hoax. Since you removed the PROD tag, the system worked as it should. Perhaps if sources were cited, the article would not have been tagged for speedy or PRODedin the first place. -- Mattinbgn\ talk 04:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Regarding this comment on the metal discussion on ANI:
I really don't understand why you feel compelled to label this discussion as wikidrama and I don't think it was constructive.
I didn't take this to ANI to be dramatic. I had issued two warnings over the past month and a half and discussed on User talk: Riverpeopleinvasion, User talk:ElisaEXPLOSiON and my talk page before coming to ANI. Rather than being dramatic, I went to ANI seeking guidance/consensus from more experienced admins.
Frankly, I didn't come to Wikipedia to explain to 15 year old kids why suggesting strangers get sodomized with metal is inappropriate. If the admins feel that suggesting such is fine, so be it. I strongly disagree, but we'll leave it there. This place is built on consensus, and this certainly isn't the first thing about Wikipedia I disagree with.
I'm a fairly new admin, and as was noted earlier this week, I have made at least one mistake. You seem to feel bringing my interpretation of common decency to ANI was my second: something else I disagree with.
Toddst1 ( talk) 00:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Posting this on ANI likely avoided me making a controversial block. That's exactly the kind of thing it's for. Toddst1 ( talk) 01:10, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your support in my RFA, that didn't quite make it and ended at 120/47/13. There was a ton of great advice there, that I'm going to go on. Maybe someday. If not, there are articles to write! Thanks for your support. Lawrence § t/ e 17:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Even though it failed with 28 supports, 42 opposes, and 15 neutrals, I am grateful for the suggestions and advice I have received and I do hope to improve as a Wikipedian. If you ever need my help in any endeavor, feel free to drop me a line. -- Shark face 217 19:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
This is a misnomer. Installment sales are not anything unusual, although maybe only in the USA. I changed it to a speedy, as that is all that is required, not a discussioin about whether a bad name should be deleted or kept. Articles aren't usually called things like Rolling Stones Article, just Rolling Stones, and there is a tag ready made to deal directly with that issue, improper titles. {{db-redirmisnomer}} . -- Blechnic ( talk) 04:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
What I wrote about Tassler is true I just forgot to cite it. Nuts to CBS! Save Jericho!

Actually, this is kinda wierd. The older version of the website stated that Berrian was born in Spain - Check out the lower part of his old NFLAPA profile [3]. A Chicagoland show he formerly hosted, also claim he was born in Spain. [4]. Hope that helps. -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 23:13, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Well gee, that's nice of you. I only created the thing 10 minutes ago. Why don't you wait at least 15 minutes? Pdfpdf ( talk) 15:44, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm pleased to read your reply.
I had formed the opinion that you were a

It's now 1:50am here; I had intended to go to bed over an hour ago.
I will continue my response in a civil and courteous manner (as distinct from a sarcastic and annoyed manner) in about 18 hours.

We didn't really ask your opinion at the end, but what is your view on the resolution that came about? Also, Trip and I are again having a clash at the Battle of Princeton which I have gotten protected for a few days. I would appreciate your input for either article. ( Red4tribe ( talk) 22:42, 19 April 2008 (UTC))
He is a very diffucult person to get along with. You and I aren't the only ones who have found that out. As you know, he was blocked briefly, and so was I becuase of the edit warring. ( Red4tribe ( talk) 22:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC))
You asked me why I added a link to Billy Mitchell's website. Why isn't that valid? Coke's website links Coke, Apple's links Apple, Honda links Honda, ad infinitum. Can you provide a policy link which invalidates furnishing such a link? Pisomojado ( talk) 04:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[5] Could not have said it better myself. Bravo! Tiptoety talk 23:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Regarding your reversion to Monica of Hippo:
I believe my changes to have been mostly correct according to semicolon (English usage, point 2). I'll happily agree that the last one should have been left out, though; my default is to always use the serial comma, but I don't see any authorities supporting the proper existence of a 'serial semicolon'. Stationary ( talk) 15:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi there... It's a judgment call, but I added the final warning due to the long history this school IP address has of vandalism. If you look at the history, each time a block expires the vandalism returns and it's blocked again. I often add a final warning ASAP so the next time vandalism comes from this address it can be blocked. IMHO, the quicker these kinds of IPs are re-blocked the better. Note that I'm generally am a big believer in WP:AGF even for anonymous users, but in the case of known long time serial offenders they don't deserve that assumption. -- Dfred ( talk) 16:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
(undent)BTW, are there guidelines beyond WP:BITE for dealing with longtime abuse from shared IPs? I'd not ever gotten any feedback before for jumping ahead on the warning continuum for these types of IPs. Any more specific advice? Thanks. -- Dfred ( talk) 17:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I've deleted this at your request; I think that, once you kindly moved it to userspace, it qualifies as housekeeping to delete the remainder and I tagged it as such. If you or anyone else has a problem, or feels that deleting it was an error, feel free to let me know. Accounting4Taste: talk 04:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Posted to Accounting4Taste also: 04:50, 25 April 2008 Accounting4Taste (Talk | contribs) deleted "Archive Okina" (G6: Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup: Article mistakenly archived into article space moved to userspace)
if you felt it was inappropriate to have in archive, then why put it in my space? Remove it completely if it is not sufficient for archive (done to clear space to continue the debate on appropriate usage of Hawaiian grammer -- are you familar with this discussion? It is important & that is why I felt It wasn't deemed to be deleted but archieved for others to refer back to.)
Just to clarify myself. When I said details on my talkpage I meant that I thought you wanted the exact point that the edit war stopped. Not that the discussion should be moved to my talkpage. I'm not ignorant and you shouldn't assume so much.Sorry about the comment messing up the page, oops. Xp54321 ( talk) 01:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Tanthalas39...Thank you for participating in my nomination for adminship. Your comments have shown me those areas in which I need improve my understanding. I hope that my future endevors on Wikipedia will lead to an even greater understanding of it. If you wish to further discuss the nomination, please use its talk page. Stop by my talk page anytime, even if it is just to say hello. Have a wonderful day! - LA @ 05:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC) |
