As a hockey fan, I was very disappointed when you guys didn't get the St. Louis Blues, back in the early 1980's. GoodDay ( talk) 16:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- !! We were up for an NHL team? Whoa, I didn't even know that. It's a bit of a mystery to me why we don't have one though. The Saskatoon Blades (WHL) almost always have a higher attendance than the Oilers do. But then I guess price point comes into the picture. If we raise ticket prices (and we'd have to in order to pay an NHL team) then less people would naturally attend. Look at Winnipeg. If they can't support an NHL team what hope do we have, with 1/3 the number of people:( (but then, why can Edmonton support a team? They have about the same population). Still, it would be nice.

- And then there was talk of an NHL team in Hamilton, Ontario (pop.: 504,559)! Given the proximity to both Toronto and Buffalo, it might of worked, but Bettman put a swift end to all that. Seems, though, that population and financial support doesn't actually decide whether or not a team gets placed somewhere; it's all politics, politics, politics. -- G2bambino ( talk) 17:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I've been working my fingers off for this one. Still tweaking it too. Any additional suggestions? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
You asked "So what is the EU? Is it a "state", a "country", or something else entirely? And if it doesn't qualify as a state, why should the US, Canada, Brazil, Australia, or China? They're not different enough from the EU for there to be a clear distinction between their designations."
I would say that a formal state depends on sovereignty, the ability to enforce laws and collect taxes. The U.S. clearly became a single state when the central government violently imposed its will on former states that were trying to secede. It reminded everyone of the central sovereignty when it used the military to enforce desegregation orders over the attempts of a governor to use local forces to disobey the orders.
I'm not sure how Canada is run, but I suspect that if push came to shove, the central government could enforce whatever it wanted over the objection of any province. It might not be in line with the formal Canadian law, but one of the traits of statehood is that you interpret your own laws or ignore them if you want.
The EU does not have any enforcement mechanism. If one of its states decides to withdraw tomorrow, the EU cannot force it to return. If a state decides to ignore EU rules, the EU cannot enforce the rules. The EU is a confederation of states, not a state. It may become a single state the way the US did, but it has not yet done so.

Woah, took me quite a while to even begin to understand what that post was all about, very confusing. Thanks, Gopher65, for responding! You probably saved me some sanity points there :). Why on earth did Krensada post this on my page in the first place, very strange indeed?! I concur with your words completely and utterly (even though I disapprove of the alleged harassment and stalking from others on Krensadas behalf). But if some invisible force guided Krensada to select me as a defender, he sure really was pointed to the wrong guy for the job... I am a scientist from Sweden who at best have faint tendencies towards the thing that can not be named, so... there you go, might have been the poetry of randomness at work here.

I intend to revise those articles following the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Would you *please* stop your improper concatenation of my comments on the talk page for the "EEStory" article. I have used the proper format for replying to others' comments, indenting my replies so it's clear it's not a comment by the original post-er. By concatenating my replies, you make it impossible for anyone to see what I am commenting on or replying to.
I undid this once before, now I see it's been re-done; I presume by you. Is it necessary for me to complain to someone over your head before you stop this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lensman003 ( talk • contribs)
You wrote: I've noticed that you don't seem to know how to use mediawiki software very well (that's the software that Wikipedia runs on, that we're using right now). Don't worry, that's normal:); everyone goes through an adjustment period when they first stumble upon wikipedia. You'll get more familiar with it as time goes on. Here's one thing that you're doing wrong: when trying to contact someone, you edit their user *talk* page, not their userpage. If you edit their user talk page, they get a message informing them that you left a message. That doesn't happen if you edit their userpage.

When I follow links to instructions for Wikipedia's formatting, I feel overwhelmed. There is *so* much there! Is there an open forum where I could talk to a Wiki administrator about what procedures are desired? I would really love to revamp the entire "Lensman" article, it needs a thorough rewrite, but I really need the help of someone who understands Wiki procedures. I've tried leaving messages on the personal pages of editors who have contributed to that article, but none have replied.

Regarding the lede vs lead we talked about, since wiipedia is based in the Americas, why does this page ( Lead paragraph) use British spelling? Pass a Method talk 13:25, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- The English version of Wikipedia allows articles to be in any dialect of English. Basically, whoever starts an article writes it in the style that they like, and everyone else is bound to use that same style in that particular article. I assume that the person who started the "lead" article was non-American, or maybe an American who didn't have as good a grasp of American English as they should have had.

- I actually am the gopher652003 from the Universe Today message boards:). I was wondering if you were that Ivan. Nice to see you here! Gopher65 talk 14:35, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

- After sleeping on it, I agree with you about letting the topic rest for a while; it will allow other (silent) editors time to think about it when they perform edits there and elsewhere. Also, I now see why a lot of women are put off editing on Wikipedia because of the "king of the mountain" mentality of some entrenched male editors – such as TimothyRias, who has taken upon himself to arbitrarily revert virtually all of my "believe" edits on other articles (see link via his user name).

On that page, you also shared a thought about the discussion going on the Draco Talk page on whether Draco and SuperDraco are really both in the same family. That's helpful too.

While the Falcon 9 article could go any of several ways (a high-level model class article, on all F9 vehicles, or an article on the F9 in general PLUS the specific F9 v1.0 model, etc.), some edits got made today that are presuming a particular outcome.

Hi Gopher.
I noticed you said in the Talk:Comparison of orbital launch systems discussion that "the current use of "citation needed" tags in this article goes against the very purpose of the tags. That purpose is to inform users of potentially unsourced information when they can't pick up on that fact on their own"
I don't think that's quite right, but I didn't want to get on a tangent in that discussion.
Since you and I both work on a number of spaceflight-related articles, I thought I should mention that. Should you want to discuss the topic a bit further, or inquire how I tend to use {cn} tags in editing Wikipedia, I'd be happy to do so. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 00:53, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gopher.
I noticed you said in the Talk:Comparison of orbital launch systems discussion that "the current use of "citation needed" tags in this article goes against the very purpose of the tags. That purpose is to inform users of potentially unsourced information when they can't pick up on that fact on their own"
I don't think that's quite right, but I didn't want to get on a tangent in that discussion.
Since you and I both work on a number of spaceflight-related articles, I thought I should mention that. Should you want to discuss the topic a bit further, or inquire how I tend to use {cn} tags in editing Wikipedia, I'd be happy to do so. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 00:53, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
