Thanks for moving my info up the page. It seems obvious(!) that the W-L totals be posted for any series. If you really do need a citation it can be easily gotten from baseball-reference.com, in the head-to-head section. Admittedly, my inclusion of this statistic could be considered non-NPOV; I love dispelling the (generally percieved) myth among baseball cognoscenti that the Cubs are somehow "better" than the Brewers. One game? Oops! Not any longer.

I haven't seen you is quite some time. Congratulations on becoming a sysop, sorry I didn't get to support you. I hope to be one someday, but right now I have just 300 edits. I do have time on my side, so once I reach 1500–2000 edits, I'll shoot for a nom myself. P.S. How's Don? :) Mostly Rainy 16:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I think that it may be up to another administrator to take action, such as a block. I have been loathe to bring further attention to this matter, as long as the actions that he takes affects only his own talk page. However, given his history, I don't think that it will be very long before he makes poor edits to another template, and I would rather that there was an easily-accessed warning history so that another administrator can take action. I think that you have been extremely patient with him (much more so than was possibly necessary, but understandable, given that we know we are ostensibly dealing with an adult), but this may not be an instance where you can make the call for a block. An independant decisionmaker may be needed.

these may be 'commercial' sites, but so are most authorized CA Govt. sites in that they offer trinkets etc.
these sites listed show history and proprietary pictures, they own, that a researcher would find very useful.
these are External links that serve a true purpose. You obviously haven't taken the time to visit them.
Two of those sits belong to family members who own Historic, registered, California sites!!!
the history they offer Such as the swiss hotel and Vella Cheese are CA history sites.
if wikipedia is to have some worth beyond personal tunnel vission, then it must rely on persons to contribute and link the many sites.
to just blindly discharge such it making some of us not interested and not feel the info. offered is of value for research.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Granucci ( talk • contribs)
The list you refer to is a "member institution list", as it states at the top of the page. All NCAA Division I school's full name's are there, including the University of North Carolina, Charlotte and University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. If you don't like the fact that many school's such as Charlotte, Chattanooga and Milwaukee choose to use a shorter name for their NCAA TEAMS (not institutions), I don't know what to tell you. It's pretty commonly accepted by everyone else that some university's with longer names (Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Texas Tech, and particularly state U's like Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arkansas, Colorado, etc.) do this. Milwaukee has simply decided to do the same.
And I don't see how it's less informative. It's considered common knowledge what state a city the size of Milwaukee is in. Do you think that university's that use similar abbreviations such as UNC Charlotte (a smaller city than Milwaukee), or even an accepted abbreviation such as UAB, are also "less informative" than their full institution's name? CollegeSportsGuy 12:58, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
How long ago was that 7 years that you lived on campus? Because most students today use "Milwaukee" when referring to where they go to school, though I'm sure "UWM" is still a close second. As for polling 1,000 Milwaukeeans, I'm sure UWM is still first, as it was by far #1 with students up until fairly recently. You'll notice I didn't say Milwaukee residents, though, I said "area residents", i.e. the campus area. Cheers! CollegeSportsGuy 20:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I have a favour to ask of you. As a result of Tim Starling's recent work on MediaWiki Bug 550, it's now possible to soft block IP addresses.
Please could you look at the block log for eduproxy.bgfl.org, the proxy I edit through at work? It's currently on a six month block. The history shows that whenever it's not blocked it's the source of quite a lot of vandalism, so my suggestion is to put a permanent block on editing for non-logged in users for that address. I don't think it would be a good idea to block account creation, though. I think the same applies to upstream.bgfl.org. Thanks. -- HughCharlesParker ( talk – contribs) 23:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I wonder if you might look at two of Chuck's edits— this to Wikipedia:Basic navigation and this to Wikipedia:About—neither of which is disruptive in the fashion of some of his past edits but each of which isn't particularly good; I might have reverted the latter myself, but I don't want to seem to be as wikistalking or acting in bad faith. The edit to Basic navigation seems to impart useful information but ought, I think, to be styled differently, whilst that to About is unsubstantial and ought not to disconcert, although it seems to remove the sort of link we use on other similarly-styled pages. Each appears to be made with encyclopedic purpose, but neither concomitant edit summary is particularly clear (I find "Wikipedia also has its own article" distracting. There's already a non-distracting link in this article to the Wikipedia article, in "Wikipedia is a registered trademark...", for one), so I thought someone else ought to take a look. Thanks in advance... :) Joe 23:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
You asked me to remind you, but I don't recall you ever explaining to me how my argument was in error. Sorry about not seeing your reply until later, Will is trying to confuse my talk page now. The history list looks like the statements he made are in different sections. He is trying to tease me into starting an edit war on my talk page so he can include that as some sort of late fact into his RfC. About your credibility, whatever you have stated or done in the past certainly has a future. You endorsed that RfC and I stated quite plain, logically and reasonably why that would make any common person doubt you. About the arbitration, I appreciate your sentiment, but I haven't any clue about what luck has to do with the matter. Ste4k 00:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Chuck's most recent edit seems to follow from a failure to appreciate what is meant, in the encyclopedic context, by personal finance—which surely isn't simply the fact of one's keeping his/her personal finances separate from those of his/her business, for reasons that are plain, not least that his formulation would lead to our having a one-sentence dicdef—but I'll not revert lest he should think me vindictively and capriciously reverting his edits.

You're welcome. I suspect he hasn't done what he claims to have done, though you never know.

The article was removed for being an unremarkable event. I believe that embezzlement fo $31,000 from a youth charity group is a rather remarkable, if local event. Indeed, the individual does not have global significance, but to those involved in and around the group and area at the time of this event, it had a huge impact. $31k given by parents and supporters of the group is no small sum.
Please can this article be allowed. I have tried to give as much information as possible, and as much source links as I can.

Greetings, I invite you to do a Google search on Nicki Rose, as the top four responses directly relate to him. I feel compelled to tell you that Nicki is a slowly-developing underground legend in the making (ala Daniel Johnston, Jandek, and Wesley Willis to name but a few similar artists that Wikipedia has entries for). The influence and power of Nicki Rose's video is being felt in isolated pockets around the country. Don't miss the chance to profile someone whose history needs to be documented. I feel this entry will also help to establish some kind of personal contact with the man who for the past 15 years has been an elusive mystery. Thank you.

Hi, I noticed you tagged this article as a speedy A7. While I'm not convinced this article will stay, I think in this case this is an inappopriate channel. There is an assertion of notability, in fact it says "he is most notable...". Now, of course, I am convinced, as you are, that this assertion of notability does not have much merit, but the assertion is not prima facie false, and thus this needs to be debated at AfD.

i changed this line, because someone had edited my previous statement which was based on an accurate estimate, as referenced in the milwaukee page discussion board. i accumulated all of the student population estimates from all of the institutions of higher education in milwaukee and provided a sum which was actually 15,000 lower than the actual figure. someone edited the page to suggest that this number might somehow be inflated by the inclusion of part-time and distance-learning students, specifically in reference to matc, so i excluded the very large student population of matc and recalculated the estimate and the number was at about 70,000. this is where these numbers are coming from. by stating that the number is actually "much lower" than 100,000, you are discounting the still very large student population in milwaukee. in fact, the city of madison, often referred to as having a huge student population, does not have as many full-time students as milwaukee does. if you want a more accurate count, i can research the numbers of full time students from matc, but this will only increase the estimate of 70,000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maximilian77 ( talk • contribs)

The edits I made yesterday (which you changed from "News & Notes" to "Trivia" have disappeared. What happened to them? I'll see if I can put them back in. 9/14/06 8:21 AM CST – WALRUS
I noticed the message. Thank you. I put the "trivia" back. But it has disappeared again. Why would it be removed? That is important information about the great city of Two Rivers. As to the blog link, that is not mine. That blog is a series of stories and articles relating to Washington High School, which was Two Rivers' high school for over 80 years. The school has since been demolished – about three years ago. But that school was an institution in the town forever. Most of the city's current residents graduated from that high school. Other than that blog, there is virtually nothing on the internet about that school. So why would that link be removed? It's certainly not an advertising link. The message left by Royalbroil ( talk · contribs) suggested an article about the high school. That's exactly what that blog is. 9/14/06 8:56 AM – WALRUS
The consensus? From who? There is virtually nothing of interest on the Two Rivers web page. I've lived in Two Rivers for many, many years. Yet there is no mention of the high school that stood for 80+ years. A town notable (former actress and wife of Charlton Heston) isn't deemed worthy of mentioning? Why not remove the tidbit about the wrestler who lived there then? Two Rivers has a wealth of tradition. There is great history in the city. Yet mentioning some of these facts isn't worthy? Who decides this? Other Wikipedia pages list information like that. And what's up with removing the name of the current City Manager? The neighboring city of Manitowoc lists their mayor. But Two Rivers can't? Manitowoc Manitowoc mentions TV and radio stations. But Two Rivers can't? Manitowoc provides school information. But Two Rivers can't? Manitowoc provides points of interest. But Two Rivers can't? Manitowoc has links to their city. But Two Rivers can't? I know I'm new here. But I'm only trying to provide factual information about Two Rivers. Yet I'm being prevented from doing so. Why? The entry on this great city is sparse and boring. Many a year I have called Two Rivers home. Why can't I talk about it? 9/14/04 9:48 AM – WALRUS

You have been deleting all items critical of Cuomo, including an editorial in the NY Times and an investigative report in the Village Voice. You also removed a link to a heavily documented investigative article I wrote.
All three articles relate to Cuomo's sleazy record as Secretary of HUD. It is no coincidence that this was the topic of each of the three articles.
What was the reason for you removing those references?
You have inserted instead pro-Cuomo statements by Cuomo's election supporters. You are in effect promoting one side of a political campaign where there is strong disagreement.
The right thing to do is to let all comments remain, both favorable and critical. Do you have a problem with that?

What is fair for one should be fair for all. The link in question is a commercial site created solely for revenue purposes. If its allowed to remain then comparable links should have the right as well. This spam issue should be a zero tolerance policy.

Can we have a solution to this issue here? Do we leave a link with obvious advertising which clearly violates policy or do we remove it. I have tried before but was punished by you guys... Doesn't seem fair to remove my link solely based on the fact it is my link. Interpretation of policy regarding posting your own link advises against doing so to avoid controversy eg... politics and religion. My informative link doesn't do that. I am also willing to not post it again if the other violating link is removed just to show I'm reasonable. As it stands I feel very unfairly treated. Do we need to go any further with this?

Seriously, what is your deal? You seem hell bent on deleting anything I post that points out that there's disenfranchisement anywhere in Milwaukee no matter how much these facts are common knowledge. I've deducted from your other happenings at wikipedia that you're neither a Milwaukee resident nor a student/faculty/administration member at UWM, so for you to come and act like a dictator on those articles over people who are legit members of those communities is purely arrogant and assertive of your class privlege (and in many cases, your race privelege as well). And this whole "but it doesn't follow wikipeida's guildines" is nothing more than a piss poor excuse for you to do just that. Do you even know the meaning of the word "guideline?" It is not a synonym for "law" or even "rule." A guideline is just what the word implies... a GUIDE. Guidelines are not meant to be held to the same rigid standard as rules (in fact, it would be ridiculous to think they could in an environment like wikipedia). The reason for wikipedia is so that it can be more inclusive than traditional encyclopeidas while still being a reliable source of information. If people want all of their info to be backed up by a "realiable" source, they'd go to Encarta. They come to wiki because they want information that other sources can't (or in a lot of cases, won't) publish. If you could get off your high horse for a minute and recognize that, we'd all be better off. Illwauk 16:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Linking to your own website is allowed (I checked the rules) if done with a relative and non abusive way. I removed all sponsor ads on the site and wish to share my information with the stained glass community. Is this the building of consensus? I have complied with all of the rules and wish to add my valuable resource to the listing. What do I need to do now? Please let me know what other rules are involved here. I don't wish to get anyone angry and remove my post being so. I'd rather avoid that situation altogether.

Thanks for your offer of more information, I appreciate it. I'll be communicating with the other user first, and get that part straightened out, then I may need to talk with you afterward. I've looked this over, and I get what's going on... not my first rodeo, you might say.
I really appreciate your offer of help, but at this point the less input from you the easier my job will be. I've read the history of everyone involved and a scrambled talk archive is no big deal, I've read the comments from before they were archived.
How this happened, it was an accidental bite to a well-intentioned newer user who was a little too bold. It's no big deal and nothing anyone needs stress over. Just a misunderstanding. Thanks for your note, I'll talk with you in a few days. User:Pedant 06:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I am certain that the information that Bkbkbkbk is entering is false. I lived in College Point for 20 years. My parents, aunt & uncle and best friend still live there so I travel, shop and spend time there often. College Point is not a hub for urban decay in New York as he makes it out to be. While the neighborhood has vastly diversified to be more multi-cutural, the statistics I linked to in the College Point discussion page show historically that crime in that precinct (the 109th) is low, especially compared to other "bad neighborhoods" around NYC. - Dialt0ne 04:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for moving my info up the page. It seems obvious(!) that the W-L totals be posted for any series. If you really do need a citation it can be easily gotten from baseball-reference.com, in the head-to-head section. Admittedly, my inclusion of this statistic could be considered non-NPOV; I love dispelling the (generally percieved) myth among baseball cognoscenti that the Cubs are somehow "better" than the Brewers.

I think that it may be up to another administrator to take action, such as a block. I have been loathe to bring further attention to this matter, as long as the actions that he takes affects only his own talk page. However, given his history, I don't think that it will be very long before he makes poor edits to another template, and I would rather that there was an easily-accessed warning history so that another administrator can take action. I think that you have been extremely patient with him (much more so than was possibly necessary, but understandable, given that we know we are ostensibly dealing with an adult), but this may not be an instance where you can make the call for a block. An independant decisionmaker may be needed.

The list you refer to is a "member institution list", as it states at the top of the page. All NCAA Division I school's full name's are there, including the University of North Carolina, Charlotte and University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. If you don't like the fact that many school's such as Charlotte, Chattanooga and Milwaukee choose to use a shorter name for their NCAA TEAMS (not institutions), I don't know what to tell you. It's pretty commonly accepted by everyone else that some university's with longer names (Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Texas Tech, and particularly state U's like Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arkansas, Colorado, etc.) do this. Milwaukee has simply decided to do the same.
And I don't see how it's less informative. It's considered common knowledge what state a city the size of Milwaukee is in. Do you think that university's that use similar abbreviations such as UNC Charlotte (a smaller city than Milwaukee), or even an accepted abbreviation such as UAB, are also "less informative" than their full institution's name? CollegeSportsGuy 12:58, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
How long ago was that 7 years that you lived on campus? Because most students today use "Milwaukee" when referring to where they go to school, though I'm sure "UWM" is still a close second. As for polling 1,000 Milwaukeeans, I'm sure UWM is still first, as it was by far #1 with students up until fairly recently. You'll notice I didn't say Milwaukee residents, though, I said "area residents", i.e. the campus area. Cheers! CollegeSportsGuy 20:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I have a favour to ask of you. As a result of Tim Starling's recent work on MediaWiki Bug 550, it's now possible to soft block IP addresses.
Please could you look at the block log for eduproxy.bgfl.org, the proxy I edit through at work? It's currently on a six month block. The history shows that whenever it's not blocked it's the source of quite a lot of vandalism, so my suggestion is to put a permanent block on editing for non-logged in users for that address. I don't think it would be a good idea to block account creation, though. I think the same applies to upstream.bgfl.org. Thanks. -- HughCharlesParker ( talk – contribs) 23:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I wonder if you might look at two of Chuck's edits— this to Wikipedia:Basic navigation and this to Wikipedia:About—neither of which is disruptive in the fashion of some of his past edits but each of which isn't particularly good; I might have reverted the latter myself, but I don't want to seem to be as wikistalking or acting in bad faith. The edit to Basic navigation seems to impart useful information but ought, I think, to be styled differently, whilst that to About is unsubstantial and ought not to disconcert, although it seems to remove the sort of link we use on other similarly-styled pages. Each appears to be made with encyclopedic purpose, but neither concomitant edit summary is particularly clear (I find "Wikipedia also has its own article" distracting. There's already a non-distracting link in this article to the Wikipedia article, in "Wikipedia is a registered trademark...", for one), so I thought someone else ought to take a look. Thanks in advance... :) Joe 23:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
You asked me to remind you, but I don't recall you ever explaining to me how my argument was in error. Sorry about not seeing your reply until later, Will is trying to confuse my talk page now. The history list looks like the statements he made are in different sections. He is trying to tease me into starting an edit war on my talk page so he can include that as some sort of late fact into his RfC. About your credibility, whatever you have stated or done in the past certainly has a future. You endorsed that RfC and I stated quite plain, logically and reasonably why that would make any common person doubt you.

Chuck's most recent edit seems to follow from a failure to appreciate what is meant, in the encyclopedic context, by personal finance—which surely isn't simply the fact of one's keeping his/her personal finances separate from those of his/her business, for reasons that are plain, not least that his formulation would lead to our having a one-sentence dicdef—but I'll not revert lest he should think me vindictively and capriciously reverting his edits.

The article was removed for being an unremarkable event. I believe that embezzlement fo $31,000 from a youth charity group is a rather remarkable, if local event. Indeed, the individual does not have global significance, but to those involved in and around the group and area at the time of this event, it had a huge impact. $31k given by parents and supporters of the group is no small sum.

Pray Sir, do tell, to what persoanl attack to you refer? -- Pussy Galore 19:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
i changed this line, because someone had edited my previous statement which was based on an accurate estimate, as referenced in the milwaukee page discussion board. i accumulated all of the student population estimates from all of the institutions of higher education in milwaukee and provided a sum which was actually 15,000 lower than the actual figure. someone edited the page to suggest that this number might somehow be inflated by the inclusion of part-time and distance-learning students, specifically in reference to matc, so i excluded the very large student population of matc and recalculated the estimate and the number was at about 70,000. this is where these numbers are coming from. by stating that the number is actually "much lower" than 100,000, you are discounting the still very large student population in milwaukee. in fact, the city of madison, often referred to as having a huge student population, does not have as many full-time students as milwaukee does. if you want a more accurate count, i can research the numbers of full time students from matc, but this will only increase the estimate of 70,000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maximilian77 ( talk • contribs)
okay, i will work on that and put it together for you. i'm sorry for the lack of signatures, as well. i've only been a wiki-editor for a couple of months. -- Maximilian77 23:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
dont mess with my stuff, you dont know what you are talking about you spelled it "Moscoto" – fool – just leave it alone — Preceding unsigned comment added by GodGnipael ( talk • contribs)
For starters, you are using a double negative "and there is not reason not to have a link". Am I dealing with a native english speaker? If you are, please finish high school before editing other people's work.— Preceding unsigned comment added by GodGnipael ( talk • contribs)
You need to be more careful correcting other people's work when your attempted corrections contain major mistakes. Also, you can not assume that all users are native english speakers or for that matter high school graduates. GogG
Lets just leave it at that, for I am GodGnipael.
Thanks for the heads up. That was getting ridiculous. -- Fang Aili talk 00:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I am a longtime resident of this city. I assure you, the edits are far from trivial, and will be enjoyed by anyone who currently lives, or has lived in Two Rivers.

Cool. Understood! - 9/13/06 3:35 CST – WALRUS
The edits I made yesterday (which you changed from "News & Notes" to "Trivia" have disappeared. What happened to them? I'll see if I can put them back in. 9/14/06 8:21 AM CST – WALRUS
I noticed the message. Thank you. I put the "trivia" back. But it has disappeared again. Why would it be removed? That is important information about the great city of Two Rivers. As to the blog link, that is not mine. That blog is a series of stories and articles relating to Washington High School, which was Two Rivers' high school for over 80 years. The school has since been demolished – about three years ago. But that school was an institution in the town forever. Most of the city's current residents graduated from that high school. Other than that blog, there is virtually nothing on the internet about that school. So why would that link be removed? It's certainly not an advertising link. The message left by Royalbroil ( talk · contribs) suggested an article about the high school. That's exactly what that blog is. 9/14/06 8:56 AM – WALRUS
The consensus? From who? There is virtually nothing of interest on the Two Rivers web page. I've lived in Two Rivers for many, many years. Yet there is no mention of the high school that stood for 80+ years. A town notable (former actress and wife of Charlton Heston) isn't deemed worthy of mentioning? Why not remove the tidbit about the wrestler who lived there then? Two Rivers has a wealth of tradition. There is great history in the city. Yet mentioning some of these facts isn't worthy? Who decides this? Other Wikipedia pages list information like that. And what's up with removing the name of the current City Manager? The neighboring city of Manitowoc lists their mayor. But Two Rivers can't? Manitowoc Manitowoc mentions TV and radio stations. But Two Rivers can't? Manitowoc provides school information. But Two Rivers can't? Manitowoc provides points of interest. But Two Rivers can't? Manitowoc has links to their city. But Two Rivers can't? I know I'm new here. But I'm only trying to provide factual information about Two Rivers. Yet I'm being prevented from doing so. Why? The entry on this great city is sparse and boring. Many a year I have called Two Rivers home. Why can't I talk about it? 9/14/04 9:48 AM – WALRUS
I see you put most of the information back. Thank you. Although I'm dismayed that another user could simply go in and take it right back out again. 9/14/04 10:15 AM – WALRUS
You have been deleting all items critical of Cuomo, including an editorial in the NY Times and an investigative report in the Village Voice. You also removed a link to a heavily documented investigative article I wrote.
All three articles relate to Cuomo's sleazy record as Secretary of HUD. It is no coincidence that this was the topic of each of the three articles.
What was the reason for you removing those references?
You have inserted instead pro-Cuomo statements by Cuomo's election supporters. You are in effect promoting one side of a political campaign where there is strong disagreement.
The right thing to do is to let all comments remain, both favorable and critical. Do you have a problem with that?

Ok – I think I finally got it. From now on, any edits I might want to make to the Paul Levinson artice, however minor or neutral, I'll place on the article's talk page, so you or another editor can make them (or not). I'm just usually so busy with all kinds of writing that my instinct is just to use the swiftest method, which is making the edit directly. But I do understand Wiki's logic, and will go with it. Thanks for your help with this. PaulLev 16:17, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I have a minor request/suggestion for The Plot To Save Socrates – there is a review link in the first paragraph which doesn't seem to do anything. I assume it was the writer (of that article)'s intention to link it to the review which appears as an external link at the end of the article? Anyway, since I'm the author of this novel, I thought it best to ask you (or anyone) to fix the link, in accordance with WP:Auto – thanks PaulLev 18:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
What is fair for one should be fair for all. The link in question is a commercial site created solely for revenue purposes. If its allowed to remain then comparable links should have the right as well. This spam issue should be a zero tolerance policy. What is ones opinion over anothers should be avoided as illustrated by your term "appropriate". I am willing to discuss this further and bring to a higher authority on Wiki to resolve. DESG —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Desg ( talk • contribs) .
Can we have a solution to this issue here? Do we leave a link with obvious advertising which clearly violates policy or do we remove it. I have tried before but was punished by you guys... Doesn't seem fair to remove my link solely based on the fact it is my link. Interpretation of policy regarding posting your own link advises against doing so to avoid controversy eg... politics and religion. My informative link doesn't do that. I am also willing to not post it again if the other violating link is removed just to show I'm reasonable. As it stands I feel very unfairly treated. Do we need to go any further with this?

the page on jakub kusmieruk was posted because he is 7'4 and would make the wiki tall list. i measured him myself. if this does not belong on wikipedia, sorry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CoachMac ( talk • contribs) .
Thanks for the heads-up. I just noticed that, too. He also created Category:!Art and culture. I suspect he's creating these so that categories he deems vital show up at the top of the the Special:Categories list. It's not a great idea, if you ask me. - EurekaLott 18:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Re: "You'll notice that the text at Special:Categories now makes it explicit that this is an alphabetical list of categories.", (if you did that change) could you also remove the link to Category Tree browser, as the page is deprecated (and non-uptodate).

Seriously, what is your deal? You seem hell bent on deleting anything I post that points out that there's disenfranchisement anywhere in Milwaukee no matter how much these facts are common knowledge. I've deducted from your other happenings at wikipedia that you're neither a Milwaukee resident nor a student/faculty/administration member at UWM, so for you to come and act like a dictator on those articles over people who are legit members of those communities is purely arrogant and assertive of your class privlege (and in many cases, your race privelege as well). And this whole "but it doesn't follow wikipeida's guildines" is nothing more than a piss poor excuse for you to do just that. Do you even know the meaning of the word "guideline?" It is not a synonym for "law" or even "rule." A guideline is just what the word implies... a GUIDE. Guidelines are not meant to be held to the same rigid standard as rules (in fact, it would be ridiculous to think they could in an environment like wikipedia). The reason for wikipedia is so that it can be more inclusive than traditional encyclopeidas while still being a reliable source of information. If people want all of their info to be backed up by a "realiable" source, they'd go to Encarta. They come to wiki because they want information that other sources can't (or in a lot of cases, won't) publish. If you could get off your high horse for a minute and recognize that, we'd all be better off. Illwauk 16:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Linking to your own website is allowed (I checked the rules) if done with a relative and non abusive way. I removed all sponsor ads on the site and wish to share my information with the stained glass community. Is this the building of consensus? I have complied with all of the rules and wish to add my valuable resource to the listing. What do I need to do now? Please let me know what other rules are involved here. I don't wish to get anyone angry and remove my post being so. I'd rather avoid that situation altogether.
Thanks DESG
All set... I created a talk page. Lets talk... some more :) article's talk page Desg 01:37, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your offer of more information, I appreciate it. I'll be communicating with the other user first, and get that part straightened out, then I may need to talk with you afterward. I've looked this over, and I get what's going on... not my first rodeo, you might say.
I really appreciate your offer of help, but at this point the less input from you the easier my job will be. I've read the history of everyone involved and a scrambled talk archive is no big deal, I've read the comments from before they were archived.
How this happened, it was an accidental bite to a well-intentioned newer user who was a little too bold. It's no big deal and nothing anyone needs stress over. Just a misunderstanding. Thanks for your note, I'll talk with you in a few days. User:Pedant 06:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I am certain that the information that Bkbkbkbk is entering is false. I lived in College Point for 20 years. My parents, aunt & uncle and best friend still live there so I travel, shop and spend time there often. College Point is not a hub for urban decay in New York as he makes it out to be. While the neighborhood has vastly diversified to be more multi-cutural, the statistics I linked to in the College Point discussion page show historically that crime in that precinct (the 109th) is low, especially compared to other "bad neighborhoods" around NYC. - Dialt0ne 04:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
