Request for a link

I'm trying to analyze User:BigDaddy777's behavior in context, based on the RfC. This is very hard, because the RfC quotes him out of context; I can't fairly analyze a quote that way. Working through the threads to do post mortems is extremely time consuming.

Would you please send me one or two links to a discussion of some length, representing BDs worst behavior? It should include more than just one or two isolated remarks.

Please leave it at my talk page under User talk:Paul Klenk#BG777 Worst-Of Threads, trying not duplicate a thread submitted someone else. I will continue to sort through the RfC, but one or two links would be a great help. Thanks.

Regarding Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/BigDaddy777

Since you endorsed the original RfC [1], I thought you might be interested to know that since the dispute resolution process has stalled due to BigDaddy's refusal to respond to this RfC, some are now questioning whether an RfAr should be filed.[2] Your comments on this new issue would be appreciated. 69.121.133.154 05:08, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Texas Longhorn Athletics

Hi Bbatsell, thanks for your comment on the Red River Shootout talk page and also for your improvement of the Mack Brown article. I thought you might like to know I created the Texas Longhorn Athletics article today and I would welcome any help you can give to expand/improve it. Best, Johntex\^talk 01:17, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy! Good catch on removing the 35 point margin of victory. I'd forgotten that margin of victory isn't included in the computer polls this year. My bad. Do you happen to know if any of the computer polls use other factors that usually (but not necesarily always) correlate statistically with margin of victory, such as margin of total yards gained? Johntex\^talk 17:24, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about that, but I can't imagine the models not taking yardage and other statistics like that into account. (Not that the BCS has ever followed much logic, but...) --bbatsell | « give me a ring » 21:55, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So, if that is the case, then it may not help a team to "run up the points" on someone, but it would help them to "run up the yards" on their opponent. Interesting... Johntex\^talk 21:58, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

iPod

Hi, I notice you weighed in on the amount of colors that the iPod video/fifth gen displays. I've been doing some research and it was infact the 4th gen that had 65,536 colors displayable on it's LCD. The new 5th Gen does infact have the ability to display 260,000 colors. The "tech specs" page on Apple's website only states "over 65,000" which is either a lowball estimate or a mistake by the website creation team. If you view Steve Jobs' introduction announcement he states the iPod 5th gen has the ability to display 260,000 colors. This could be the cause of the continued revert war on the iPod article.Gateman1997 00:26, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good thinking on the asking Apple for clarification. It's no unheard of for Jobs to make an error, but the same can be said for Apple's web team over the years. Either one could have made the mistake and only Apple knows for sure which one it was (though for their sake I hope it was the web team as Job's announcment was used for the basis of the press' articles about the new iPod.Gateman1997 01:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for changing it so many time without leaving a notice, however in the keynote presentation Jobs states the new 5G iPod displays "260,000 colors" which is simplified for the exact number of colors for 18-bit color displays (262,144) OriginalGamer

Austin City Limits festival

Nice picture of Mike Doughty and Scrap. This year's Austin City Limits lineup was just incredible - I envy you for going. I was half thinking about ditching class and driving down to Texas but... nah. Rhobite 20:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - yeah, it was a ton of fun, with the exception of it being really really hot and dusty :) --bbatsell | give me a ring 05:53, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Are you cranky?

Thanks for the warning, ass, but there was no vandalism. I wasn't fooling around, The show has a liberal slant throughout, it's not a secret. Just look at the guest list. I meant what I put in my edit. It's your problem if you take this in a negative way. Now take your power trip elsewhere, and don't threaten me son, k, thx. Don't bother messaging back, I'm not interested in more whining, I will have obtained a new ip address by then anyway. But if you wan't to tick me off enough just remember it's not any kind of a difficult thing to set up a web-proxy bot to incessantly do whatever I want to any damn page. So mind your own business. —preceding unsigned comment by 65.103.158.246 (talk • contribs)

Sorry about the Steve Jobs thing...

I am truly sorry for my idiocy regarding the topics of Steve Jobs and Microsoft. I guess my excitement over the fact that I could truly edit a live page rapidly turned into disobedience. I greatly enjoy this wonderful resource, and have realized that I was, in a sense, destroying it. I hope you, and the rest of the wikipedia community can forgive me. However, regarding my edit of the South Park category; I changed George Bush to Jeb Bush, because I believed it was a false fact, if discussing the ceratin episode. Why was this change deleted?

-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hman2

I didn't make the change on the South park article, but it was probably changed because it was intended to be George Bush in the show, as he politicized the event (Karl Rove is his advisor, not Jeb Bush's). --bbatsell | « give me a ring » 03:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

re Vandalism warnings

This computer, and the computers in this network are used at a public high school. I'm sorry that a few rowdy, stupid kids may have decided to fool around with the information on this page, but banning it would be a bad thing. We all use this website for research. Don't allow these students to ruin it for the rest of us. K thanks.

Civ 4

Thanks for pointing out that I was reverting legitimate changes to the Civilization IV page. I had honestly missed that, I thought I was simply reverting removal of religion information. It seemed very strange so I had contacted someone else to ask if I was missing something. Anyway, thanks for smacking me in the head. --Yamla 20:37, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

November (film)

Oh no, this is not vandalism November has only came out within weeks, and the addition of such a movie on the front page of Wikipedia is obvious advertisment. I only wish to keep Wikipedia as an information sharing page, and not turn it into a yahoo. I will not further "vandalize" your page, but I wanted your awareness Thank you —preceding unsigned comment by 69.176.133.51 (talk • contribs)

Re Stray Theories

I was in the process of tagging it myself, but you beat me to the article tag. I decided to go ahead to the log tag. Just a bit of "tag team" action. WAvegetarian 01:22, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:WAvegetarian

Thanks for reverting that so quickly. Lucky number seven was finally a blanking instead of silly/attack vandalism. --WAvegetarian 20:03, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I might have left the comment on my talk page so as to better address the IP's concerns/defend myself, marketplace of ideas and all, but thanks for looking out for it. --WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 06:18, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Brokeback Mountain

Hi, I'm just curious why you reverted the edits that said that the film opens in other US cities on Dec 16. It didn't look like vandalism to me. I'm wondering if I may have missed something. Also, what do you think about locking the page to prevent further vandalism. -- Adz 07:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
