That is all.
Welcome to the Wikipedia, Jfg284! And thanks for contributing to the 2004 U.S. presidential election controversy and irregularities article.
Here are some perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
And some odds and ends:
Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Village pump, Verifiability, Wikiquette
Hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.
Best of luck, Jfg284, and have fun! Ombudsman 22:31, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the thoughts on splitting these up. That seems logical, to start by splitting up the players and non-players. Perhaps after that by position might be the "cleanest" split: while many players have played in more than one club, league, or decade, not that many are truly "notable" in several different playing positions (or that's my impression, at least). Alai 15:54, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Project tags are suppose to go on the article's talk page, not the article itself. Thank you. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:59, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Worry not. Just remember that most templates go in talk pages except when they have to do with content disputes (POV, sources, cleanup, AfD and the like). The peer review convention is not so obvious and that's why I didn't make a big deal out of it; after all people learn from their mistakes. I mentioned it, however, because someone was bound to do it sooner or later.
Time is slow in wikiland. As a consequence is an important virtue of editors. Why not work on other articles while you wait for further input on your list? I've found that the wait for important votes on my articles is usually one of my most productive periods!
Hope this helps. Don't be afraid to ask if you are in doubt! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza 18:11, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

To be fair, I do not see how it was not necessary for me to compare one world class defender to another. They are always compared to and mentioned for England and in the Premier League, so I was simply placing this in his page.
They are 2 great defenders and very similar, so I am just comparing their goal ratio.
What is wrong with that?

Watch what happens when you oppose them. You'll end up branded as a hater of Wikipedia within the next ten minutes. And to cite a reference, see this whole mess. You'll die three times from the rambling before you finish. Harro5 09:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

For making List of NFL champions a Featured List. Keep up the good work! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ | Esperanza 17:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Haha...thanks for the note about Phillips Academy, I was hoping someone would appreciate Prateek. As far as fencing goes, it's not really interscholastic...yet. There are plans to try and make it so within the next year...though that might or might not happen. Thanks for the de-link, though...it's best to keep in check. Yes...I just created this account. Wikipedia is sweet for procrastination. Do you go to PA?
That's a great idea...do you have any other support for it? I could fix it up like that...but I really don't have a whole lot of time right now...you know, upper year...what year did you graduate?
Hi Jfg284. I just wanted to thank you for your support for my RfA, and also (once again) for your help with TerrorMaker. I hope I'll live up to your expectations. Thanks again. AnnH (talk) 19:10, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Hey nice work on the cannon mt. page! -- Wesman83 19:23, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks -- Aranda 56) 00:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
no problem. keep up the good work and i'll see you around the wiki.-- Alhutch 15:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I appreciate the advice and we'll discuss it in the Talk:The Game (rapper) section. The Stop Snitchin' Stop Lyin' is open opinion and not even relevent of The Game article. The user is adding information that doesn't apply to a direct article. LILVOKA 15:55. 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi again. The concept of fair is a pov in it's own right - the npov stance is a definite western philosophy. As I said earlier, to be culturally fair means recognising the needs and values of the culture you are connecting to, not trying to replace their cultural values with NPOV ones. How to get round this? Well, from a democratic perspective, which is POV, let them have a choice of whether they want NPOV or pages written according to their culture's perception, expectations etc. Wiki has the capacity to become far greater than what it is, so why not encourage it to grow in a meaningful way? But that's my POV anyway on what NPOV should be. -- Donald 05:36, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
I was checking out the arbitration committee site on the Wikipedia site. Thanks for the word. 7 December 2005 14:44 (UTC) LILVOKA
It looks like you've done a fair amount of work in regards to articles having to due with the Granite State, would you like to join our Wikiproject? karmafist 11:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
I've put the disputed tag back, and i'm going to head over to the Help Desk to see if we can get clarification. I just added a few more sources that say Boston/English is the longest rivalry (a few local papers, the NFL, etc.), but I want to make sure who actually does. karmafist 18:46, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
In the interests of specificity, I would probably go with using "Class of XXXX" for nongraduates only and not all alumni. This allows the reader to distinguish (or at least infer) who has graduated and who has not. I wouldn't mind seeing nongraduates' reasons for leaving PA, but it could possibly be problematic as that infomration can sometimes ride on rumor more than fact. Jhuang 17:10, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks - I blocked the vandal right as I noticed I had a new message from you. Hopefully this will keep the person calm for a while. Ramallite (talk) 18:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
I have to admit, I am a huge music nerd. I specifically go out and hunt for new and interesting music; it's probably a bigger hobby for me than Wikipedia. I can't say with certainty where I first came across Apollo Sunshine. Most likely, I found some of the band's mp3 downloads while browsing betterpropaganda.com, download.com, or a similar website. This was about the time of the release of their self-titled album. Since then I have seen a few ads for them on websites like Pitchfork; they are increasing a bit in popularity. Thanks for your message - it's always nice to hear from people with an interest in somewhat obscure music! Imaginaryoctopus 04:55, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the music suggestions on my talk page - most definitely not an intrusion. uriah923( talk) 02:00, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback on Neckties. I have included references in the entry and changed the heading of the section to "Health Issues' rather than 'Health Risks'. Cheers, John McCann
I have updated the issue on my talk. This is the last contact I wish to receive from you on this matter. Continued contacts may be construed as harrassment. Thank you. -- SusanLarson ( User Talk, New talk, Contribs) 17:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks... that's a major help. There are a lot of sources on this since there are articles on him from newspapers, tv shows such as msnbc, cnn and others, and articles in USA Today as well and the press release by the NRCC. I just have to get dates and etc. and I'll note them as required once I figure out how that's done with the wikipedia formatting rules... and then put it back up. Thanks for your help.

1. Yeah, Super Bowl XL seems rather anticlimatic this year for the same reason. Pittsburgh and Seattle mean little to nothing for me. Man, there were so many marketing opportunities built into "XL", i'm surprised the NFL didn't use it, but I guess you don't need to resort to a specific year in regards to hyping a Super Bowl. 2.

Thank you, my friend. But I wasn't intending on leaving, regardless of what happened.

The old government of Northern Ireland flag was never the official flag of Northern Ireland, additionally it was the flag that represented the old Stormount government, which was (in the words of it's first "First Minister"; "A Protestant government, for the Protestant people", a government which oppressed the Nationalist/Republican and Catholic population of Northern Ireland, and therefore is seen as offensive to Nationalists/Republicans and Catholics as it represents oppressions and unjustice. The usage of it in itself shows onsidedness on the part of this "enclyclopedia", but I've noticed that it's the way. Removal of the word "Unofficial" just further shows that the views of Nationalists arne't repected here. Using the term Unofficial shows exactly what the flag is; Unofficial, it never has been the flag of Northern Ireland, and never will be. It has as much right to be there as the Irish Tricolour, yet I don't see anyone putting that up. I'm sure it would be taken down anyway.
The border is relaxed also, there is no border as far as people from Ireland as concerned and I mean ALL the people of Ireland, not just Nationalists and Republicans. Is there any stop points, check points, clearance areas ANYTHING between the six counties and the twenty six counties? No.
I get a lot of anti Irish Nationalist or at least Pro Unionist vibes here, but I'll continue to be correct in what I write and try and give an unbias opinion on the situation and State of northern Ireland, since no one else seems to be willing to do so. I have no doubt that a few people want me blocked from contributing to the northern Ireland article, it wouldn't be the first time an Irish Nationalist has been censored, but I would at least like to find a common ground in giving an unbias view on issues, instead of simply ignoring Nationalst views, common sense and the truth.
Looking back through the article, there is some common ground I can accept. Unofficial is correct, however I won't pursue it anymore. I would however like to add in the section under the "Survery results" pertaining to how northern Ireland people view the situation, as it gives a clear, unbias and informative viewpoint on what exactly northern Ireland people believe.

Just wanted to thank you for your work cleaning up the Charles Whitman article. It's a massive undertaking of an article, given his prominence, 'legacy' and that we're able to know a fair bit about his history (I still want to squeeze in some more on his wife, when I get the chance), but I just wanted to thank you for your efforts to improve it! Sherurcij ( talk) ( Terrorist Wikiproject) 20:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I tend to agree with much of what you say. I used to have quite a large number of political userboxes on my page which I removed, not so much because of Jimbo's comment but because I decided to make my user page more functional and less of a mini-biography. I still use quite a number - including The Game user box, which you just lost - but except for that one, they all are about projects I'm involved with or my stance on a few Wikipedia policies. I still think that knowing where a user is coming from can help you deduce good faith on some articles, and just didn't think they applied to me, as my focus is on pages like James Joyce and Pink Floyd, and who cares if a Floyd fan is agnostic? And I still haven't been shown an AFD that was completely altered by the use of userboxes or categories to rally those who share your opinions.
I certainly don't think the Wikipedia is going to fall apart over some coloured bits of info on a user page, the danger is in losing good editors or admins through fighting about those coloured bits, and it's a shame that the "Great Purge" and the paedophelia wheel war resulted in just that. Anyway, well-written mini-essay. - dharmabum 00:00, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
You marked this image as being in the public domain because it's the work of the federal government, but I don't think this is correct. The copyright holder would most likely be the town of Andover, MA. As such, I changed the licensing to {{ Symbol}} instead. Regards, howch e ng { chat} 22:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I will accept if someone nominates me. I'm sorry to say this, but i've been having nightmares about Wikipedia over the past few days due to these events. I hate this feeling. I wish it would end, but I don't know how. Karm a fist 05:18, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
The old government of Northern Ireland flag was never the official flag of Northern Ireland, additionally it was the flag that represented the old Stormount government, which was (in the words of it's first "First Minister"; "A Protestant government, for the Protestant people", a government which oppressed the Nationalist/Republican and Catholic population of Northern Ireland, and therefore is seen as offensive to Nationalists/Republicans and Catholics as it represents oppressions and unjustice. The usage of it in itself shows onsidedness on the part of this "enclyclopedia", but I've noticed that it's the way. Removal of the word "Unofficial" just further shows that the views of Nationalists arne't repected here. Using the term Unofficial shows exactly what the flag is; Unofficial, it never has been the flag of Northern Ireland, and never will be. It has as much right to be there as the Irish Tricolour, yet I don't see anyone putting that up. I'm sure it would be taken down anyway.
The border is relaxed also, there is no border as far as people from Ireland as concerned and I mean ALL the people of Ireland, not just Nationalists and Republicans. Is there any stop points, check points, clearance areas ANYTHING between the six counties and the twenty six counties? No.
I get a lot of anti Irish Nationalist or at least Pro Unionist vibes here, but I'll continue to be correct in what I write and try and give an unbias opinion on the situation and State of northern Ireland, since no one else seems to be willing to do so. I have no doubt that a few people want me blocked from contributing to the northern Ireland article, it wouldn't be the first time an Irish Nationalist has been censored, but I would at least like to find a common ground in giving an unbias view on issues, instead of simply ignoring Nationalst views, common sense and the truth.
Looking back through the article, there is some common ground I can accept. Unofficial is correct, however I won't pursue it anymore. I would however like to add in the section under the "Survery results" pertaining to how northern Ireland people view the situation, as it gives a clear, unbias and informative viewpoint on what exactly northern Ireland people believe.

Thanks for making me lose! ;) InTheFlesh? 21:38, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to thank you for your work cleaning up the Charles Whitman article. It's a massive undertaking of an article, given his prominence, 'legacy' and that we're able to know a fair bit about his history (I still want to squeeze in some more on his wife, when I get the chance), but I just wanted to thank you for your efforts to improve it!

I tend to agree with much of what you say. I used to have quite a large number of political userboxes on my page which I removed, not so much because of Jimbo's comment but because I decided to make my user page more functional and less of a mini-biography. I still use quite a number - including The Game user box, which you just lost - but except for that one, they all are about projects I'm involved with or my stance on a few Wikipedia policies. I still think that knowing where a user is coming from can help you deduce good faith on some articles, and just didn't think they applied to me, as my focus is on pages like James Joyce and Pink Floyd, and who cares if a Floyd fan is agnostic? And I still haven't been shown an AFD that was completely altered by the use of userboxes or categories to rally those who share your opinions.
I certainly don't think the Wikipedia is going to fall apart over some coloured bits of info on a user page, the danger is in losing good editors or admins through fighting about those coloured bits, and it's a shame that the "Great Purge" and the paedophelia wheel war resulted in just that. Anyway, well-written mini-essay. - dharmabum 00:00, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
You marked this image as being in the public domain because it's the work of the federal government, but I don't think this is correct. The copyright holder would most likely be the town of Andover, MA. As such, I changed the licensing to {{ Symbol}} instead. Regards, howch e ng { chat} 22:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
