Hi, I deleted Peter leeds, with the lower cased L. Not sure how it slipped through but it was a spam/vanity piece that started: "As North America's leading expert on penny stocks, Peter Leeds is frequently contacted by top media organizations like the Associated Press, NBC, CBS, and CNNfn for his comments and views. He helps investors understand and benefit from penny stocks."

Hello! How are you! Yes the Chinos are part of the society, but the picture is only stating them, what about the other mexican people. The reason i change the picture is because it is giving a misleading information about Mexican etiquettes. The majority of Mexican people do not practice oriental etiquettes. Every body knows that, I'm simply using commonknowledge here. The oriental population in the country is relatively small compare to the vast majority of local born true blood Mexicans. We Mexican people practised European and native etiquettes. Our behaviours, way of thinking is totally different to the Oriental people. thanks!! -- Ramirez 05:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Oddly, the Ellington dab talk page redirects to Ellington, Northumberland talk, although the question must have been in the former instead. I wonder if the Talk redirect should be removed... - Mardus 03:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for withdrawing the Stamp stock book merge proposal. Consider the proposed work done. Cheers ww2censor 04:00, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Elipongo. I'm curious why you are using the typeface specimen for the face Andreas on the Ellington article's infobox. Thanks. CApitol3 13:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello!
Well, my thought was just to use the same system as on most other year articles. Secondly, I didn't think it would cause any confusion, since there's a space between the letters and they occur before the year and the BC notion can be found after it, as in b. c. 300 BC. But, of course, if this system is undesirable, it shouldn't be used. / Ludde23 Talk Contrib 14:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Pound it. It's not spam; just giving people a different point of view. Go ahead and ban me. I'll just use another IP. Go ahead and ban the site. It's not mine. Dildo!!!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.41.187.247 ( talk • contribs) 18:43, 21 June 2007

I am not a sockpuppet and you don't have proof. Yes I was leaving notes on user mater whatevers userpage because this user was new and asked me to make a userbox. Swirlex 16:47, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Is there a list of recent edits or do admins just hit random article and surf around. Thanks, Thedjatclubrock :) 23:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Is there a specific page like the new users page? Thanks, Thedjatclubrock :) 13:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I meant is there a page similar to the new user's page that displays recent edits. Thanks again, Thedjatclubrock :) 15:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Why did you take the pokemon pictures off my userpage? I asked Swirlex to put them there. Marvelzombies 20:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Elipongo for helping me since day one.
If you really think the template is useless feel free to delete it. Although it was not intended to be a new stub type!!! Next time I will do more research or consult a admin etc. Sorry for any trouble If you have any questions contact me. I have no intent to vandalize wikipedia. Thedjatclubrock :) 10:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Is it ok that they deleted the the placeholder template tags from the 2 articles? Shouldn't that be done after the category is deleted? Thanks, Thedjatclubrock :) (talk) 11:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
P.S. I really didn't understand recent changes. I missed it on my screen and when I clicked on your link it went to a help page.
I recently edited that the Amazon is now worlds longest river at 6,800km compared to Niles 6,695km which you seem to disagree with.On a recent expidition scientists discovered a new starting point in the south of Peru on an ice covered mountain called Mismi.Guido Gelli(director of science at Brazil institute of geography) confirmed this.The research was co-ordinated by the National Geographic Institute of Brazil.Having the Nile as longest is inaccurate and not very constructive of you leaving it as.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccee ( talk • contribs) 18:53, 27 June 2007

Hey there. I'm in a revert war with a vandal, who may or may not be using good faith. The article is Commerce Bancorp and the user is CAMDENBEER
Earlier this week he was adding a couple statemants that failed NPOV in my opinion. Recently he added information about the CEO resigning, which I incorrectly removed at first. Apon further research, I found that some of that information was correct, and I moved it to it's own section of the page under the header Commerce Bank Scandals.
The point is, this user wants to continue to edit war the NPOV statements like political pawn and whatnot, which clearly is opinion unless he can find a source that uses that exact phrase.
Please look into the article and the most recent edits. I admit incoorectly removing some information this morning, but I re-added it at the bottom of the page when I realized it was fact and was currently in the news.
Do whatever you feel needs to be done about the article and as always, I will respect your judgement.
Thanks! PanzaM22 19:49, 30 June 2007 (UTC) Mike

I think I can clear up the situation with Swirlex. First of all, most of these people he just found when searching userspace to get ideas of things to add to his userpage. Marvelzombies, Dreamrelease2245, and I are people he personally knows. He's probably gonna kill me for telling you this, but I can explain the Zapsteel thing. He was Swirlex's original account. Then it got hacked and someone changed th password. He doesn't have e-mail, so there was no way he could retrieve the account. Think of Swirlex as the reincarnation, not sockpuppet, of Zapsteel. Supernerd 10 23:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC) P.S. My PA was an expiriment to see how long I could do if I were blocked. I didn't know that I could just ask a sysop.
I'm sorry, but I've told you everything I can. I swear that I'm telling the truth. Supernerd 10 23:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
As I previously stated, we know eacch other pesonally. Supernerd 10 21:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
It's tacky and draws attention away from the content of the article. A request for an image can be placed on the article's talk page. If a prospective image uploader doesn't know how to read a talk page, they probably shouldn't be uploading files in the first place. One 23:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not very happy with this guy's edits: it seems like the only reason he's adding the content is so that he can get his site linked instead of blacklisted. The writing style leaves something to be desired, as well -- it's going to require a lot of cleanup.-- SarekOfVulcan 00:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
