86.12.229.142's discussion

Dillard,

My housemate is editing the Dalriada School page. I removed the Gaelic Football reference from the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.229.142 (talk) 23:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to edit the wikipedia, i suggest you create an account. There are no cons to creating an account. Account creation will keep you from getting blocked if you roommate is vandalizing the wikipedia. Thanks ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you contest the speedy deletion of article Margy Osmond please place the tag {{hangon}} under the current {{db-a7}} then discuss why it should not be deleted on the articles talk page. Also when creating an article, i recommend you edit the article to its fullest, if you wish to preview it, hit Show preview, then click on save. This will keep an incomplete article from being deleted. Thanks! ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AIV reports

Please note that before reporting a user to WP:AIV, they must have received sufficient warnings to stop, and then vandalized even after such warnings were given. While your desire to fight vandalism is admirable, please ensure that your reports properly reflect standard conduct in regards to vandalism. Regards, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 05:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that, i am using a developmental software called WP:huggle and i believe its a bug. I see on the log, reporting user and wonder why it is reporting them if they hadnt received a notice. I suppose the next time it does that, i will remove the notice myself. Thanks! ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huggle has apparently been buggy for several users as of late, especially in regards to WP:AIV reports. Perhaps a report to the original writer of the code is in order? Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 05:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree! On in now! ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wanted to leave this on your main page but it is protected

Hello! Are you really 6'9?!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riloeisley122134 (talk • contribs) 00:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

??

Then what is the point of all those boxes on the side about what you like to do etc...and why do you have a description of yourself...that makes no sense isn't that in violation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riloeisley122134 (talk • contribs) 00:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just saying its not a social network. Those boxes are called userboxes. and yes i really am 6'9" tall. lol no i do not play basketball. Thanks! Also! you really should remember to sign your posts, you can do this by typing 4 tildes (~) at the end such as this ~~~~. Im not a jerk, really. :) Thanks! ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

122.167.17.75's Question

whats wong in that edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.17.75 (talk) 01:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Those tags are only to be removed once the article, V. V. Chari, has been fixed. Those tags claim that the article needs to be cleaned up and also needs references, neither of which it has. Thanks ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hello you said my edit of rachel marsden article was unconstructive.. no hard feelings or anything i am just wondering why it is unconstructive?

i pulled the information about her father from a salon.com article that was really a short biography to her. basically what wiki does when writing about a person with a few more adjectives.

-the fact that her father went to court over an inappropriate relationship with an age difference that soured and went public..

-the fact that rachel went to court over allegations from both sides of an ippropriate relationship with an age difference that soured and went public.

(AND IN BOTH CASES IT INVOLVED A TEACHER AND STUDENT)

i am not a psychologist, but i do not think someone has to be to see that this seems extremely relevant and i think its relevant enough to be left to the reader to decide — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.204.8.178 (talk) 01:27, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake i reverted back to your edit as seen here. I had thought you removed a section. Fixed now, thanks for the heads up! ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ahh ok great thanks... i really need to get off my ass and register a name.. the anon ips cause all the trouble hence your understandable worry i added in my part to the more up to date version so it should be all good. i am going to remove your entry on my ip page :)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.204.8.178 (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thats fine, you are allowed to remove notices from your talk page once you have read them, most people just Archive them, but since you are in ip user i understand. Also you might remember to sign your talk posts by using 4 tildes ( ~ ) ie: ~~~~. Thanks! ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hi dillard

you do a great job of catching vandalism, as this is such a horrendous crime that effects soo many people. I have been editing the romano's macaroni grill page, originally stating observant facts...but then for some reason it was being re-edited by someone else. If you ban this one i can damn near guarantee you I can access it from anywhere with other IP addresses. I just dont want you to feel like you have to keep editing it, leave the page alone and that would be less work for you :)

peace —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.219.16 (talk) 04:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Im not sure what you are referring to, but please know that Vandalism of any kind will get you blocked. There are quite a few who edit the wikipedia to prevent vandalism. I am currently on a slightly inactive status, maybe you confused me with someone else; however, it appears that you have been blocked for vandalism. Thanks and please try to make constructive edits. ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

also looking at your edits, it looks like you were trying to test things, please do this in the sandbox. In the sandbox you can pretty much do anything you like to it. I use it ever so often to test things. Also, use the preview button, its really handy to see how things will look without actually saving it. :) ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:44, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

68.60.142.113's section

i am so sorry can you please take my warning off so i can continue being a useful member of the greatest wiki ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.142.113 (talk) 04:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They are your warnings now. They serve as a record of sorts. Just simply stop vandalizing the wikipedia and you should be fine! :) ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 04:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

account

so what do you think can i valued member of wikipedias editing team have their warning lifted? so since they are my warnings can i take them off and it will be something that no one has to remember? and everything i put on those pages is factually true so that is not vandalism —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.142.113 (talk) 10:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The wikipedia invites everyone to constructively edit on pages. Calling the University of Michigan a "Clown College" is not constructive editing. Actually, that is editing with a non-neutral point of view and deliberately introducing factual errors into the article, which are both negatives. The wikipedia is edited on from a neutral standpoint, preferably with verifiable sources. There are other edits that, im sure could be considered vandalism, but ill leave you to yourself to look at them at this link: your contributions. As for the warnings, I would recommend you create an account. There are no negatives to creating an account. You dont even have to provide an email address. The same rules still apply to having an account and not having one, you still cant vandalize. The cool part about having an account is you can have a cool userpage and then you can also archive your talk pages. Just know, that your vandalism will always get reverted and you will most likely get a warning for it. Why do it if it will get reverted within seconds? Seems like a waste of time to me. I hope i was of some help. ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 02:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But people actually call the university of michigan 'Clown College' so it is not a factual error, it is one of the many names that it is known by. Everything I post can be backed with facts and you choose to delete them. I think you have a non-neutral point of view when you revert the edits, but you do not see me trying to issue a warning on you. If you would like me to show you the facts behind what i post i will gladly show you them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.142.113 (talk) 04:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that its called Clown College is trivia, and trivia sections are discouraged. Im not going to argue over this, the fact remains, i was not the only one to warn you. Obviously someone else thought you were vandalizing as well. ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also the reason you got the warning that you did, was because you attacked a specific editor which is NEVER appropriate, i dont care who you are. Changing the text on someones talk page from "this user is awesome" to "This user is a fucking cunt rag." You can see this edit here. I had forgotten about that. A user talk page pertains to that user. Please see Wikipedia:No personal attacks, it might be of use to you. ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i am not going to lie that user calls himself a fucking cunt rag i have chat logs to verify that one. so by your logic should the U-M, U of M, UM, or Michigan be put in a trivia section since those are other names for it? or what makes clown college so different from those four? also i think that you hate me and feel the need to discriminate against me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.142.113 (talk) 15:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your chat log would be considered Original Research. Click on that link to learn more about it. The wikipedia does not contain original research. I do not hate you, i hate few people; however, i do feel that you will argue with me on this subject until the end of time. I declare this conversation as over, since i see it not progressing forward. I will give you a day or so to read my reply; after which, it will be archived. Thanks ✬Dillard421✬ ^{(talk • contribs)} 03:14, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However they are published facts. What Clown College did you go to? i do not accept your declaration of this conversation being over. and don't you think the end of time is a long time? time will never end however everyone dies therefore time will exist much past you or I do so it will not be the end of time so your statement is considered original research since you have no factual backing on anything you say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.142.113 (talk) 03:21, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
