Please AGF

Please do not accuse me of censorship because I see that there is no logical relation between a degree in mathematics and creationism. Were he a biologist it would be relevant, but otherwise in that section it is just irrelevant puffery. Aunt Entropy (talk) 23:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's Bush's Oxford education that's important, not his mathematics degree.--Hi540 (talk) 10:12, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tim Keesee, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. ttonyb (talk) 01:46, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stones River National Battlefield

You don't know what footnotes mean, look at Myrtle Hill Cemetery and I will keep continuing this same until you stop being a dolt. By way this is not a Vulcan. Logicals don't fit in encyclopedia. Check Wikipedia:Footnotes. --Culby (talk) 18:53, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The tornado damage is unimportant, and Wikipedia:Footnotes specifically allows explanatory matter there. Since there's just two of us, I suggest a Third Opinion. (It violates WP:NPA to call another editor a dolt.) Hi540 (talk) 00:58, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We are disagreed with you about tornado damagael however footnotes isn't allow "long detail", only short summary. I do not see that a "dolt" violate any policies because this is not a personal attack, it is an insult to your intelligence. You brought illogicial sense yourself. I have no respect to rude and illogical Wikipedians. I do not buy that you are graduating from an university anyway. I still continue what I believe is right thing of encyclopedian styles and media universes. I see that you have no senses to leave arguements but you are not bossy of me. Good Day, Dolt. --Culby (talk) 04:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted a notice about your incivility here.Hi540 (talk) 14:18, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, here's a third opinion from a complete outsider:

You are both slow-edit-warring over this.
The content seems unnotable and unimportant.
The article looks much better with the text in the article's body. It looks ugly with the text in the footnotes.
Calling someone a dolt and claiming that it merely is an insult to their intelligence, is severely violating WP:NPA.
I would remove the entire damage description, and keep the one small referenced sentence, without the details.

Just an opinion. DVdm (talk) 14:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I've done just that, except I've left one sentence in the footnote to give an idea of the severity of the tornado strike.Hi540 (talk) 10:24, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks very good now. I made another subtle change. Those who are interested in the details can find all (and perhaps even more than) they need by following the link. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 12:06, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Myrtle Hill Cemetery

Stones River National Battlefield looks better than I expect and is what the article but you do not have a right to insult my skill by your comments which stated "rewrote some poor syntax and grammar mostly to make a point about how footnotes can be used to provide supplementary material not necessary to the body of the article". I wrote footnotes because they require to be proof. I am deaf, not hearing but real smart people do have problem what they write. There is no perfect in world but it does not mean you have to insult. You should say "rewrote some correct synatx and grammar." DVdm is correct about writing footnotes and articles. I apologize for calling you the name but please fix the comment. It's encyclopedian article, not college term paper. --Culby (talk) 07:24, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you liked what I did with Myrtle Hill Cemetery, but I'm sorry you thought I was insulting you. Your grammar and syntax is non-standard, and I simply said so. (In any case, I don't think edit summaries can be changed.) Everyone has a disability of some sort, some more easily perceived than others. But if Helen Keller could write standard English, with additional practice, so can you. Hi540 (talk) 19:40, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree because you don't know about Deaf World. American Sign Language is deaf people's first language that does not have any English struction. Hellen Keller was raised in hearing world but never attend any deaf residence schools. She did attend a hearing college, not Gallaudet University so not all deaf people are same. I know you never have an experience with deaf people and their culture but you should not jump to wrong conclusion. I mean you cannot know everything! "My grammar and syntax is non-standard" is an insult again. I do not think you have a respect but you chose to be a robot. Like I say "next time using the sentence grammars are fixed and corrected instead of insults like poor grammars. I have no problem with filing a deaf discrimination lawsuit if you continue this non-humanity against deaf people for their language. Deaf people hateAlexander Graham Bell because he made a mistake by discriminating deaf people for sign language and deaf written language that cost his lifetime works. Please respect and don't be Dr. Bell. Wikipedia policy is against discrimination for reminding. This world is damnation imperfect! --Culby (talk) 01:17, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander Graham Bell was a gifted inventor, but his religious agnosticism and his related advocacy of eugenics prevent him from being a favorite of mine.

I've contributed a couple of snippets to the French Wikipedia, but I'm very careful, and I'm sure I make errors that a native speaker would find absurd. Nevertheless, I don't blame anything for my poor French except my limited knowledge of French. It's an ongoing project of mine to improve my ability with the language. (For instance, today I learned that "Don't drink and drive" is a rhyme in French: "Boire ou conduire, il faut choisir.")

You've been at Wikipedia longer than I have, so I'm sure you know that threatening legal action violates Wikipedia rules. Sincerely, Hi540 (talk) 19:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discrimination is also listed in Discrimination is banned in Wikipedia. I am not against Wikipedia, I am against the person who discriminated me that violated Wikipedia policy. I am using what is called American Disability Act. You have no right to discriminate me based by insult me for calling me "poor" language and made poor decision about deaf people when you brought this person, Hellen Keller as comparing to Deaf World because it was completely different. "Fixing grammar errors and correct" is respectful comment, "poor grammars" is not respectful. I am familiar with this country, France but I understand the language of their meanings "love", not "hate". If they think your french is poor, all they do is correct you with the help instead of "calling you "poor grammar". Don't forget that France is responsbility for bringing deaf education and part of American Sign Language into America. I just say using friendly, nice, and helpful comments. My real professors never use "poor" or "bad" in my works when I was in Gallaudet University. Some of Wikipedians did use term "corrected and fixed grammars", not "Poor and bad grammars". Je ne dois pas parler français mais je connais la France. Je peux être un Américain mais mon sang est un Européen. Veuillez employer des commentaires polis. --Culby (talk) 02:37, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Discrimination essay you've cited above is wretchedly written in non-standard English. The author is almost certainly not a native English speaker. So, if I rewrite it to eliminate the non-standard grammar and syntax (don't worry, I won't touch it with a ten-foot pole) am I not claiming that some English is better than others, and isn't that discriminatory?

Chick Springs coordinates

I recently put up a new article, Chick Springs, and have tried several times to enter the geographical coordinates (34° 55.733′ N, 82° 17.3′ W) with no success. I'm annoyed because I've done this before, and I bet I'm just doing something dumb. Thanks, Hi540 (talk) 22:38, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's best to use an infobox - and the most appropriate seems maybe Template:Infobox settlement - so I've added one of those, which incorporates geo coords; see this edit.

If you don't want all that stuff though, feel free to remove it, and just use {{coord|34|55.733|N|82|17.3|W|display=title}} - which I've added here, on your talk page, to show you what it does - see top right. Cheers, Chzz ► 23:10, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Chzz . I appreciate the speedy help. The info box looks good. Hi540 (talk) 23:15, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have asked for an investigation into a possible connection between this account and User:John Foxe. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/John Foxe. If these accounts are unrelated, I apologize in advance for any inconvenience or stress this may cause you. alanyst 23:49, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No stress for sure :) Hi540 (talk) 01:58, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sock tag

I re-added {{blockedsockpuppet}} to the user page since it is quite beneficial to have. I came across evidence of sock puppetry on my own just recently, and having the tag on the page would have helped me know immediately that the issue has already been addressed. —Eustress ^talk 02:16, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
