Hello Stevietheman. I recently reverted your addition of the phpbbhacks.com link to the phpBB article. My main reason for doing this is that the link in question is still in a dispute over on the talk page, and since a conclusion of the dispute hasn't been reached, the link shouldn't be added. You're more than welcome to put forward your views as to why you think the link should be on the page, but do read the arguments put forth, as they may be enlightning.

Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:
Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BD2412 T 02:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Please be advised that I am no longer resposible for the Open Source, which is in a sorry state if I moght add. My original article has been moved to Open Source Software. User talk: AL SAM
Because you are recognized as an active contributor to the Louisville, Kentucky Article, I thought I might inform you that I have changed the image concerning the Velocity Newspaper. It is now only the insigna. The previous picture had an automobile within the background with the words "Wash me please" depicted on it. If you find a problem, you may revert the image. Thank you.
Sorry, I thought I was editing my own copy of it. I normally make copies of pages and test my edits on them before I place them on the article itself and I name my edit "Article". (For proof see Copy of Polyethylene). I guess I edited the article. I will just revert the page. Thank you for the notification. By the way, did you see the message I sent to you about the picture of Velocity (newspaper).
I was about to add a "see also" section to the newest article I am writing, Governor's Cup (Academics). This is an academic tournament. I was thinking about adding the list of schools, but I was curious if you knew about other lists or sources of information that would be good to internally or externally link to.
You are not allowed to delete material off of talk pages. That is a big no-no. WHEELER 23:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
A revised version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 09:58, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Stevie, I am looking for Wikipedians that are interested in the topic about Link Spam to express their opinion about this. After checking some other Talk Pages and Votes I think you seem to be one of them :)

I have added an entirely appropriate Arkansas Derby link to the Kentucky Derby page and I seem to be catching flack from some users over it. Can you help me understand this? -- Dgrim85 21:29, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Is it possible that some of the graphics appearing in the Courier Journal (like the ones for Museum Plaza, River Park Place, or parks expansion could be used on Wikipedia by claiming fair use?
Also, I don't see an article yet about the greater Highlands nightclub and eclectic area, so I may try to create one today.
I was also wondering about dividing up the cityscape article by defining the city by 4 regions: South, East, West, AND "Inner East side" (The area from Old Louisville, Germantown, the Highlands, and Crescent Hill which is predominatly young profs.) While the Highlands and Clifton/ Cres. Hill are on the east end and Old Lou. is on the S. side, I feel that they are culturally and physically different from other parts of town and associate more with each other. Any suggustions?

hey... whatever you decide is fine with me on the louisville article. i'm not going to argue the changes i made, but please take the time to give it a more objective review and consider the end result. when i read the original article i was struck by the statement that louisville was 'one of the largest cities in the country' and was also being compared to lexington's figures at one point. first, louisville is a wonderful city and plenty big -- but i think it's reaching to say it's one of the largest in the country. second, i always think of louisville as the largest city in kentucky and don't think lexington should really be included as a comparison point because it just causes confusion. sometimes people get bogged down in statistics and miscellaneious facts, but lose site of the overall message.

I am curious about your thoughts as to the top down, bottom up democracy disambiguation. My quess is that what you are thinking is that those two articles should be deleted? I have the opinion, that until the day that they are actually deleted, that they should remain on the disambiguation page. BruceHallman 16:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the cleaning up of my Ohio River Bridges Project contribution. I ported it over without much revision when I was at work. I have some more information for that and other projects that I will tend to soon as I can get them from my notebooks! Seicer 20:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I've been reverting the addition of what seems to me to be a fairly obvious idiosyncratic entry on the Emancipation disambiguation page ( diff). I'm trying to get some additional comment on this - please also see User_talk:FredrickS#Emancipation. - David Oberst 00:51, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
It appears an admin just T1 those userboxes. ( See here) I'll try to sort it out ASAP, and so is many others. Talk about this in GUS page I think I am going to post it in DRV. Sorry for any inconvenicence caused. -- Hunter 02:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Stevietheman. I have replied to your comment at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 June 19/Wikipedians by politics, and I'd appreciate it if you take a moment to consider that you may have mistaken the arguments being offered for deletion. If it were as you suggest, I would arguing for keeping those categories, but please read my comments there, and please be open to the idea that this is not about fear, or suppression, or denial, or any of those negative things. It's about building the best reference work ever. - GTBacchus( talk) 01:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
My apologies for not explaining the "balances" issue sooner in our discussion. I had already discussed the issue more thoroughly at Talk:List of United States cities by population and assumed that you had been following the discussion there as well, but I guess that's not a good assumption to make. My apologies. Kaldari 21:31, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Seems like I offended you again Stevie. All I want is to make everyone happy with a compromise, but seems like no one is satisfied. I didn't appreciate that attack on me. For now on, you, Caesar, and other can do whatever you want with the template, I'm washing my hands on this issue because this is a very small piece compare to other articles of my interest that I can spent time editing and improving to the best of my ability. No offense. Thank You -- Moreau36 06:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

While having wikilinks in disambiguation entries seems intuitive, it does seem the person who removed them from democracy (disambiguation) has MOS:DAB support that wikipedia usage has evolved against them:
It probably doesn't matter either way, and any need in this particular article is probably the result that it is trying to be a study guide to a large number of articles, not a standard disambiguation page. I'm becoming more and more convinced that a radical reduction on this disambiguation page is desirable. The problem is making sure the few articles it does point do the job (they probably don't right now). - David Oberst 16:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
