Stick to your good article edits and leave the commentary to your blog. You are way too good of an editor to get sucked into this crap again. Adding your opinion about Byrd on this talk page in such a manner will just lead to a hotheaded lefty saying that no Repulblican has cared about civil rights since Nelson Rockefellar died fucking his assistant. You are a foot smarter than most Wikipedians; no need to let emotions boil over when you can win with your brain 99% of the time. youngamerican ( ahoy-hoy) 14:12, 28 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the support on keeping the MLB hitters with three home runs in one game article. An admin ( User:Wknight94) and I had a discussion about some other stray 3-HR lists that exist, and eventually discovered there was no overall 3-HR list like this. I'll admit it's close to being in the realm of WP:NOT, just because it's so big, but when I first started the page yesterday, it took exactly 7 minutes for someone to nominate it. It's obviously going to take a few days to type in all these names (about 450 of them). But if it's got a category in the MLB record book (which is my source), that's certainly just as noteworthy as some of the other "feats" that are hanging around. At least I think so. Glad to see someone else agrees. -- dakern74 ( talk) 17:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC) reply

A merger wouldn't make sense because this was NOT a PPV, it was just a regular event, and a non-relevant one. That's why it should be deleted. TJ Spyke 09:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(people)#Nick_names.2C_pen_names.2C_stage_names.2C_cognomens says to go by the most common name, and even on the talk page the editors admit it's far more common to not use a space, "A.J. Styles" is also the way Allen Jones spells his ring name(without any spaces). TJ Spyke 20:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC) reply

In regards to your unproding of my proposed deletion, I respect that you have a different opinion but you did not respect my opinion by simply deleting the prod as opposed to switching the tag to AFD so that the subject can be discussed. I agree that david copperfield is an important literary figure, but the article in question did not have ANY new information specific to the character itself. It was from top to bottom a plot summary. This is not surprising however, given that the piece of literature in question is named after the main character. The book itself acts as a biography and details everything we need to know about david copperfield. The main article of David Copperfield (book) already contains a plot summary, therefore the David Copperfield (character) page is unneccesary. I would suggest that you find some uniquely character specific information, which would not be suitable for the book's main article, if you truly feel that teh character page is so indispensable. Treesus 07:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Ahahaha, your my new favourite person. Cheers. Sorry for the miscommunication, being inexperienced, I was under the assumption that anyone who contested a prod had to change it to afd. Cheers. Treesus 16:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Hello. I noticed that you recently deleted a newly-added paragraph on Randy Moss' article, saying that it may have been put there to defame the subject. I would like to point out to you that it is all editors' duty to give at least a cursory effort to confirm the reliability of claims made on any article, especially unusual ones such as the one you deleted. As you can see, I re-added the material and added an ESPN source to it, which was one of the first results that came up on a quick Google search. In the future, please at least give material on articles a glance before so quickly moving to delete what is easily-sourced, attributed material. -- 64.132.163.178 17:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC) reply

No, the job of sourcing falls upon the content provider, expecially with the newer policies on biographies of living people. Remember to add a citation to any contoversial comments made about living people. Thanks for adding a source, however. It does indeed add to the quality of the article. youngamerican ( ahoy-hoy) 12:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC) reply

I agree with you in technicality, but I think that in principle it is every Wikipedian's duty to see articles thoroughly and completely developed. -- 64.132.163.178 14:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Not really. The only duty that Wikipedians have when they come across unsourced information in a biography of a living person that is possibly inflamatory is to remove it on sight and then give a proper explanation in the edit summary. This allowed you to identify the issues with the edit and add the proper sources. Placing a "needs citation" tag is no longer good enough in the eyes of the powers that be. As far as doing the sourcework for other editors, I really don't have the time to do the work for other people (too many real world responsibilities to do much more than copyediting, checking for unsourced claims, and vandal-whacking). Even if a source is simple to find via Google, it still is the technical and prciniple responsibility of the content-adder in the first place to add said source to the article (which begs the question of why the source wasn't added in the first place?). To make sure that this situation doesn't occur again, make sure to always source any potentially-controversial comments, as most experienced editors will likely remove the content until sourced. In a perfect world, we would all have time to verify the comments of every other editor, but we simply cannot spend all of our wikitime doing the gruntwork for others. That being said, you are one of the better anon. editors around here and I would hate to see you get sidetracked on these sorts of debates too much, so 1) don't take offense to the actions of others and 2)cite the sources that you use for similar comments. Cheers and keep up the good works. Also, do not hesitate to ask if you need a set of fresh eyes to look at any articles in which you have a particular interest. youngamerican ( ahoy-hoy) 14:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC) reply

I think there's a reason that George W. Bushes many speech errors, all of which could be easily sourced, are not quoted in the article on him. I think the same reason would apply. Treesus 18:46, 11 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Well, if there were a slip-up in one of George Bush's speeches notable enough to merit an article of its own (such as the article in question as mentioned on the Randy Moss page), I think it would be plenty notable to include in an article on the subject. -- 64.132.163.178 14:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC) reply

You are right (as usual) about where the redirect points. It turns out there were 2 redirects, with and without the apostrophe. I've switched one of the redirects to the new article I've written. I would like to propose the article I've written be kept. The site article contains several details that cannot be found in any of the provided links, and in one case, I think, embellishes the facts. (I hope you've noticed I've tended to be pretty anal about providing references for the articles I write or contribute to. For examplel, see Blackwater River (West Virginia) ) From a practical point of view I think searchers will be more interested to find an article about the state park than the site article. Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciate. Also, I've reached a milestone on the article List of West Virginia state parks. I wonder if you would take a glance at it, and make suggestions. I'll try to start a "to do" list on the talk page later tonight.

Hi - only to say I live very close and had to look it up in a very large & definite guide to the area - it's small. I think someone has just gone thro some "redlinks" and put virtually the same narrative in each. I've worked up a couple that are just about justified (& will do a couple more) but that one (& when I get a chance to get back to them) and a couple of others really are back yard streams in world context. Happy to have comments but it seemed silly to take it to AfD tho I will in a week or so - look at the original editor's history for that run of edits. -- Herby ^{talk to me} 14:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Maybe max 8km and most of it you could step over - I guess toward the end you would need to jump! As I say some editor put virtually identical text in a number of "rivers". I really am happy to "include" and have just propsed splitting one local river into "East" and "West" because they are both quite significant. That said another editor has just said that there are no criteria for deleting geographical features so I guess you were right.

Argo Tea successfully opened the 5th and 6th locations on schedule. They still seem to believe that in 2007 they will at least double the number of locations. Since they were on schedule with stores 5 and 6, there is no reason to doubt them.

As a wikipedian, I have created a lot (compared to my own history) of new pages recently. You can tell by looking at the histoy on my user page. I have not had any recent trouble with page notability. However, I am having an ongoing debate about a line of a dab page at Seymour Knox. If you open edit and look at the code you will see a remmed out link. The debate is that although someone might refer to "Portrait of Seymour Knox" simply as "Seymour Knox" just as one might refer to other Warhols as "The Campbell's Soup Cans" or as "Marilyn Monroe" it is not a notable enough work. I have been told that because of the likelihood of deletion of a page called Portrait of Seymour Knox it is not something that should be included. As a 3rd party do you have an opinion?

I also got a little miffed at first that someone else created Category:Musicians work group articles needing discographies after I asked how to do it. I am realizing I am not wikiproficient enough to do what he did however. I have finally gotten over it by creating a section of ideas that were implemented by others on my user page.

Other than that, I have to learn the MOS a little better. I have had some discourse about my breaking page. I will probably rework it, but do not necessarily agree with the person who has tried to make some edits.

I checked the history briefly, but didn't see a previous prod--I'll keep a closer eye out on the future. Thanks. :) Justin Eiler 22:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC) reply

I have no idea if there's any consensus, but if they're major routes it should be OK. I haven't run into problems with any of the secondary routes in Virginia.

In Virginia, I redirected the template to the article listing the routes once it was removed from all pages. This might be a good idea here too, since someone may have the template bookmarked as links to all the routes. -- NE2 22:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Hehehehe... you chose to ask just that kind of question where I have to say each is unique. So I've prepared a dissertation and disquisition for you:

Actually they're a little too different to compare - crab cake is delicious but usually part of a meal. Vada pav is a spicy snack u just plump in your mouth and move along. I would say its definitely easier to enjoy crab cake just about anywhere (preferably in Chesaspeake Bay area or any coastal town), coz in Bombay you have to be careful not to pick just any road-side stall (this is a tip for if/when u may visit India) for sake of health - food hygiene is a major issue in India. The vendors around tourist destinations such as Juhu Beach, Gateway of India, Haji Ali and Worli Seaface, Chowpatty beach, Dalal Street (India's Wall Street, so to say) Colaba Point, Bandra Bandstand are good - these are the ones who've established the tradition. Also, the ones in makeshift cafes, cinemas and slightly modern places are usually not good becoz of their attempt to carry tradition into commercial modernity. Some restaurant chains like Shiv Sagar are very good. Unusually, Dalal Street is home to some of the best food stalls in the city - these are convenient for the busy traders and brokers. I knew a stall owner who sold bhel-puri and pav-bhaji and make enough money to send his son to college in the U.S. So don't think these guys are poor, although they may look the part!

A vada pav is best enjoyed when the vada is hot and the pav is warm. Apart from the chilli and masala in the vada, you should also add some "lasan chutney" (garlic spice paste) for an absolutely tangy deliciousness. Preferably a hot cup of tea should be held in the other hand. If you are not accustomed to spicy food, you might think the vada-pav needs a cold drink, but only the experts in the tourist areas really know how to make a good vada-pav. Crab cake is a food that is best enjoyed with some wine and in the most traditional style with a piece of bread and rice. D.C. area has some good restaurants but nothing beats the diners of eastern Maryland. Rama's arrow 14:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Well, first of all, I am delighted that you have finally become an admin! Not only that, you achieved a perfect consensus of 71 support opinions and no neutral or oppose views! This is indeed rare! Secondly, I wish to thank you for your kind words of encouragement. However, in my own opinion, I do not feel that I am an accomplished user yet as I have gone through three failed RfA nominations! But your comments indeed are encouraging and I will continue to strive on to improve the quality of my edits. Hope to join you in the admin club in about three months time! -- S iva1979 ^{Talk to me} 17:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Congrats from me too! The hot dog question is a hard one ... I used to do Skyline Chili a lot, if that counts (wondering if that link will light up blue ...) Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 18:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Hi Young, thanks for your note. As for homebrewing, I've had that page on my watchlist forever and have been meaning to add alot to it, so your note kind of reminded me to get to it! I've been brewing for about five years and have made beer (specifically, cream ale and nut brown ale), cider, and wine (chianti). My favorite project, and the one that actually turned out best, was cider, and in fact it was even the easiest one to make! All you have to do is get raw, unprocessed cider (easier said than done unless you happen to live near an orchard), dump it into a clean carboy, and add yeast. I usually use wine yeast because I want the cider to achieve a higher proof, and wine yeast will stay alive longer while beer yeasts will usually die once the proof gets too high. Also, if you use wine yeast you can put some of the brew into wine bottles and cork it, resulting in apple wine, and some into beer bottles with some DME or bottling sugar, cap it, and make bubbly/sparkling cider... if you try that with ale/beer yeast the apple wine will have an odd, off flavor. Take care, -- Caliga10 18:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC) reply

I am impressed by your "individualised" thank you message. Keep in touch. I think the box problem is now solved. Have a look at my talk page and confirm please.  Doctor Bruno  19:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Congrats on your RFA! Did you know that the traffic on your talk page will now quadruple? I actually despise Phil Collins (and love Peter Gabriel) but at the time I was trying to raise the visibility of WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia by recording featured articles that were going to be on the main page. " Land of Confusion" wasn't a bad song... -- Aguerriero ( talk) 19:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Hello, yes, I know about this - it is merely a case of adding |} to the end. I've been quite busy recently and haven't done it...it's quite time-consuming, on a PDA...I'm not even sure if I've thanked all my neutrals yet...I will try and do it soon though. — Gary Kirk // talk! 19:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC) reply
