Hi, You may have inadvertently chosen an inappropriate user name, please see Wikipedia:Username. Please follow the procedure outline there an pick a user name which does not contain or refer to "troll". I will check back in a day or two, but must block the name Troll Silent, Troll Deep whether you have created a new account or not. You will still be able to create an account under a different name even if I block Troll Silent, Troll Deep. Fred Bauder 16:44, May 4, 2004 (UTC)
I disagree - there seems to be no concensus about this. 'Troll' is clearly not an offensive word, and there is dispute about this within the admin Cabal. You can't unilaterily decide that a normal word is offensive just to facilitate your witchhunt. Distastefull, or not, from your point of view a good username, is not the same thing as offensive. Stop trolling and let people get on with writing. Yours, Troll Silent, Troll Deep 21:05, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
Jimbo thought differently, and it certainly is an ordinary word, having over 12 different meanings. The fact that you have chosen to conduct a witchhunt is entirely divisive and a waste of everyones time. Please find something more productive to do - you have no mandate to decide these things, unless the Cabal has officially taken over. Troll Silent, Troll Deep 23:13, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

Why the reversion of the As of link? Troll Silent, Troll Deep 19:18, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
It's pretty common on many articles - Wikipedia:As of will tell you how to access the list of articles that are linked to it. The purpose of keeping the same text is so that the reader doesn't need to worry about it. An editor looking for statements made in 2001 (or any year) like 'Is President' that will change in the future, can just look at the list of what links there to tell what needs to be updated. If you disagee with it, I suggest you take up the issue on the talk pages rather than start reverting folks who are putting in an accepted marker. Thanks, Troll Silent, Troll Deep 19:47, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
No, I'm not sure whether it is accepted policy - it seems that, rather than one group going round putting the links in, and another removing them, a more productive approach would be to work out whether we would do it. We are bold in making edits that there is not necessarily any policy for, and these links seem to provide a benefit, without causing harm. I am not going to start a revert war if you indist on removing them, but I find it anti-social, and think it undermines a group who are trying to make updating time sensitive pages easier.

I'm sure you wouldn't want to be categorized as a liar, so goodbye. - Hephaestos| § 17:27, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
User:Hephaestos has blocked this user accusing them of "persistent disruption of discussion" -- which has been defined for a long time as tampering with other people's comments (See Wikipedia:Blocking policy and Wikipedia:Three strikes you're out policy, 'Definition of "disruptive"' for some attempts to codify this longstanding community consensus). This accusation is an outright, bold-faced lie. JRR Trollkien (see warning) 21:44, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
