While this user clearly isn't working cooperatively removing NPOV tags is explicitly not vandalism. Indeed, repeatedly re-adding such tags is edit warring and may be subject to a 3RR block. When a user reverts like this without responding to your efforts to discuss I would suggest requesting page protection and then following dispute resolution procedures if that doesn't get them talking. --CBD 11:58, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
FIFA World Cup[edit]I removed the stadia because they clutter the table. I wonder whether somebody puts, say, goalscorer names there some days. But I really messed up with the flags, probably because of an edit conflict. Conscious 21:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
alternative name article[edit]please be more patient with your actions. allow a time to an article to verify if its creator isnt in process of establishing it. pls remove that speedy deletion tag, as i am editing the article as u added the tag, god how fast u are :)) Criztu 15:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC) hey, thanxs for that { { inuse } } thing, it's so useful, life was more difficult before it :) Criztu 18:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC) Cheese[edit]Is it my fault what a moose does? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.42 (talk • contribs) Italy[edit]What do you mean add a period??? I have started hundreds of new articles but all I seem to get is CRITICISM! James Janderson 17:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC) IGNORANCE[edit]Do you think all I have done on wiki is cut and paste!! Try reading Potala Palace and Tashilhunpo and Shalu Monastery. These items are all my work!! So you are telling me I have a crap status?? You still haven't told me what a period is?? James Janderson 18:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC) Hey man I am trying to do a good job. Please tell me what a period on the Italy articles are?

Please tell me what a period is in an article and I can continue with my work.James Janderson 18:16, 13 July 2006 (UTC) Please mate why are you being so nasty to me?? I don't have 100 different accounts or 7. Why would anybody ever bother to have seven different user names?? Socketpuppetry?? A period is probably a simple error that I have been doing wrong but I didn't know the correct name for. I have looked on help a click away from it but can't find it! Please stop this unpleasantness so I can sort my errors out. Please do not patronize me. I would like a friendly helpful response from you mate.

Edenbridge-Humber Valley[edit]
What is an "NN"?[edit]I just started writing a page about my late brother, and haven't finished it yet, but thought I would establish a few sentences at first. Certainly, it could be better-written. But I thought it would wind up as a "stub" that I could add to later, a few paragraphs at a time. I guess not. Kindly explain the issue to me. Thanks, Yvonne Fitzner —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yvonnefitz (talk • contribs) Thanks[edit]I've been using an automated tool to give out warnings, figures the command opens the article for the IP and not for talk page. I'll get working on it. Also, thanks for fixing the links. I'll try to be more careful next time. (: Kedi the tramp (talk • contribs • count) (Respond to me on my Talk.) 21:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC) I noticed you prod'ed this article, and the original author removed the tag. She's a novice, so I'd like to cut her some slack. She's also got more material to add to the article, and I'm going to work with her on notability. Once we sort that out, I'll give her my two bits on notability and see if it's something we should keep. This particular editor is well plugged into the world of comedy (i.e., she knows a lot of famous folks), so I'm hoping that if we hold her hand through her learning curve, she'll turn out to be a really great editor. At any rate, I'd appreciate any patience and assistance you can extend to this editor. She's making some good faith efforts here, and the quality of her work is already going up. Rklawton 23:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC) Conne River as an article[edit]I don't really want to make Conne River an article, but the name is the official name for the community (ie. It's on maps and all), but the people of the community refer to their (our) community in more instancers as Miawpukek, and hope to make Miawpukek the "official" name soon. No official move to do so, but we are using the name and it is catching on... Thank you. We'jitu 01:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC) my last change[edit]hello in my article of Christopher Lee Alexander I was given a speedy deletion. I posted this on here to inform others about Chris and explain how he was a great musician who became a donator for the needy. I think this subject is very important. If not only important to show you to give to others it also shows you not to forget where you came from as chriis's parents were very poor. please do not delete it. Thank you. - Kurruptkaos —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurruptkaos (talk • contribs) my last change[edit]Ok i understand but I really don't know any other place that i could put it. Wikipedia works best in ANY occasion. I believe in the "when in rome" theory so what exactly should I do to fix it up? I also think that if a person devoted his life to a cause of helping others he should sort of spot... especially when you can put what kind of armor a character in a video game wears in the same place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurruptkaos (talk • contribs) You're telling me the reason the page is scheduled to be dleted is because you misinterpreted it for a how-to? the page just like any other is for information. It could also be used for changing of idea but so could any page. Someone could read the hulk hogan bio and decide to become a wrestler. the Chris Alexander page wasn't made to change ideas or thoughts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurruptkaos (talk • contribs) I understand your idea of it not being a dumping ground. You make alot of sense but you used my own words out of context. If you had read what i wrote clearly you would see I said, " I posted this on here to inform others about Chris and explain how he was a great musician who became a donator for the needy." in that sentence it clearly states that I made it to inform others and not to change ideas. Now in the next sentence yes you are correct in what it says. But your meaning of what i think comes first is off. I think that the information is the main part of this just as much as the next guy. Only difference is I stated what a majority of people think. Many people read about other things or people on here and think I want to do that or I want to be like that. I meant what I said as I want people to be able to understand who this person is and if they want to be like him that's a good thing. I wrote this to help you understand that it is safe to be like this person other than kids running outside thinking they should play with guns because they read about the U.S. Marines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurruptkaos (talk • contribs) Icelandology[edit]Dear Ultimus, the Icelandology page was deleted without reason, because, before deletion, I could not discuss this. The first version of the page was deleted because it contains a link, and someone suspected that article is for promotion only. I have fixed the problem, but someone delete the page without discussion. Please restore the page and allow to discuss this before delete. Deleting is easy but writing is more laborious.--Yuiul 03:16, 16 July 2006 (UTC) and sir also about "Wikipedia is not a dumping ground for content. If the material you're submitting isn't designed to inform people about a noteworthy subject (a good test to use in this case is "Is the subject more 'important' than a college professor?"), then it doesn't belong here." I learned about different types of music in my college music class and over the summer one of our assessments is to learn about 5 different bands or artist from a different country. I learned about the group and I attempted to post them on here. I don't see how this causes so much conflict. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurruptkaos (talk • contribs) Death and Taxes[edit]<<it's sad when people die, and I'm sorry, but putting their names into an encyclopedia isn't the right way to honor them.>> I wasn't putting my brother in Wikipedia because he died. My black cat, Django, also died and I'm not adding a page on him, although he was originally named O.J. by my neighbors and renamed by me in honor of Django Reinhardt, when I adopted him in September 1996. My brother's life and accomplishments don't compare to Paul McCartney's. But, I don't know what's so "NN" about some of the comedian's who have pages on Wikipedia, like Judah Friedlander, among others. And their pages don't all conform to the form some other editor was kind enough to send me to follow. I have removed my previous paragraphs from my brother's page and have started over. To be continued. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yvonnefitz (talk • contribs) Where have your common morals and respects gone? Sir here are alot of people asking for a little bit of your time and a little attention but you can't grant any of it. half the people on this page have asked only for a moment of your time so you can tell them what is wrong with thier submission and hey can fix it. what you do is simply push them aside because you appeaarently have 'more important things to do.' there is absolutly no neeed for your insociability. You are being a jerk and It's not okay. Ya wikipedia... big deal. It's supposedly the free encyclopedia. Why should we even bother when you don't seem to care about when we are attempting to make it larger and help others. You aren't being reasonable and this is a big deal. I understand you must have alot to do at many points of the day but it's best to keep an even balance on things. Hey you want to delete my acount go ahead. I gave up on this site a long time ago but mark my words my dear friend. You have a non helpful attitude and what goes around comes around. You are self centered and egotistic. And my dear friend this is america last time i checked. I have freedom until I am restricted now if you wish to declare yourself as a dictator I want you to do to the front page and officially declare at the head banner this "Warning: Ultimus declares himself surpreme ruler of this web page." because until I see that my rights still exist. That is what I have to say and there. Don't deny that you don't consider yourself ruler because even your name "Ultimus" comes from the latin term meaning ultimate. by the way, not everyone is like paul mcCartney. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurruptkaos (talk • contribs) he isnt retired —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.68.17.212 (talk • contribs) . I don't even know where I'm supposed to "talk"![edit]And sometimes I don't know how to get even THIS far. As per your last comments: <<This is much better. It clearly states who the subject is, and why they're important. I don't have any concerns with it anymore, but please ensure that any further content you add/readd to the article is worth mentioning and important to him being an inventor/entrepeneur. For example, is it really all that important that "He was also captain of the school's rifle team."?>> I added that earlier because you gave me the impression there was nothing notable. I added his being actively invovled in the Student Organization, and also was Treasurer, and then added the fact that he was captain of the rifle team. The former is related to the award the Alumni Association gives in his memory, since June 1993, and the latter was more info about his "leadership". Guess I am too literal, but when I get a complaint I try and respond accordingly. I've been referring to the page about {[Sir]] William Stephenson, the Canadian soldier and spymaster whose life may have been an inspiration for James Bond. I am using that for the biographical form. By the way, my brother was later in the R.O.T.C., in college -- does this relate to his having been captain of the rifle team in high school? But he screwed up on his way out of Mexico and got kicked out of college. And, now that I remember, he was a marksman first class in camp, even before high school. But he didn't become a soldier [Vietnam time], his drug bust kept him from serving [and as my mother said, who went through hell after he got sent to jail, it may have saved him from "coming home in a "box"]. He didn't become a soldier, he became a Hippie, a concert promoter, an entrepreneur, an Indian Trader [one of the few recognized] and an inventor. He also eventually drank himself to death [Hepatitis and alcohol don't mix well]. <<Good job though. It's nice to see a change from all of the nonsense people submit every day. With some people around here, I sometimes wonder if they ever sat through an English class at all. (|-- UlTiMuS ( U | T | C [] M | E ) 03:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC)>> Unfortunately, I am unable to complete his page at this time, having several personal issues to take care of, such as the Social Securtiy Administration claiming it has no "verification" of my citizenship at this time (when I have been a citizen since November 11, 1954, have worked since I was 17, paid my taxes, voted, etc.). I have tons of paperwork to take care of, plus am job hunting after a job lay-off. So I have my hands full. If having an incomplete page is not good, should I remove the "Early Life" section and just keep the opening paragraph -- as a "stub"? <<In an unrelated matter, it would be helpful to others if you typed Yvonnefitz 19:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC) after your comments on talk pages to sign yourself (like I do). It makes it a lot easier to keep track of discussions and respond to comments. Cheers.

I'm trying to automate as much as possible the creation of the Catholic Encyclopedia articles, and so am trying to do them as stubs. The claim to fame is that they are appearing in the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia and under the Missing articles project "to ensure that Wikipedia has a corresponding article for every article in every other encyclopedia."

Links from (disambiguation) page to primary topic[edit]Hi Ultimus, I see you just changed the link to Karaoke (entertainment) to a direct link to Karaoke - is this correct? I'm a bit confused by the correct procedure here. According to WP:DAB#Primary topic the link back should always be to an unambiguous name (hence Karaoke (entertainment)), but it seems like this convention is not followed much on Wikipedia. Any ideas? — SteveRwanda 14:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 17:55, 13 August 2006 (UTC) RfA in article namespace[edit]Hi, I think the problem was that I'd messed up the input box on the page you've now linked me to, which I'd just been using - I was sd'ing my incorrectly placed nom just as you were, as soon as I had realised (so there was an edit conflict).

Email and user contributions are accessible from the toolbox when you are at an editor's talk page or user page and...I'm not sure why you link to User:Ultimus/Templates/Message.
