per your request. NawlinWiki 21:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for reverting the edit to my user page. Sharp eyes! Girolamo Savonarola 22:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

yay

Glad to see you back Moe! SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 01:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

You're back

It's always good to see. Good luck out there. RyanGerbil10(Kick 'em in the dishpan!) 14:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi. There's some debate about the shortcut WP:NAM to the essay Wikipedia:No angry mastodons. Some people vote for keeping it, but the major essay authors themselves suggest removing it (see reasoning at here - shortly, it sounds too like a policy). What's your opinion? CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 18:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I never got the time to thank you

For opening up this. My connection got cut just right after my incedent with him, so I didn't have any time to try and contanct someone about it. Dunno what would have happened had you not taken the case. 69.145.123.171 Hello! Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 20:05 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Methinks he's a prime candidate for an indefblock. 69.145.123.171 Hello! Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 20:14 (UTC)
Ah, so we think alike. I'm sure that they'll want to squash any chance of his return, though, by making sure he can't edit through that account. ;) 69.145.123.171 Hello! Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 20:20 (UTC)

User:Mgdriven

Why the change ([1]?--BSI 14:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Doug Basham

In reference to Basham's name... I have his senior yearbook in which it shows his name to be, in fact, Lyle Douglas Basham. I added the link I did to reinforce the fact of his full birthname. I'd stated all this on the discussion page, with no one commenting at the time. As per discussion at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions the yearbook should stand as reliable primary source. I don't want an edit war, but I do think that a biography should be accurate :-) -- Supersquid 20:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Good point, I posted the question to WP:BLP/N (more applicable than Admin noticeboard) in regards to sourcing from non-web based items. My point is that paper predates the WWW by several centuries, and still the majority of the written word has yet to make it to cyberspace, yet there are thousands of articles on Wikipedia that reference analog pages (lol) which are considered reputable sources. I can always scan the yearbook and post it to the talk page (if it is permissable under fair use) on the issue of verifiability, but to be honest that would be overkill IMHO (besides it'd take more time that I'm willing to expend lol). I just want to do right in regards to a home-town hero.
Supersquid 22:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Good to see you back!

Ok, a week late, but I just discovered you're back. Welcome back! Great to see you! --Durin 14:41, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Succession boxes

Who decided that they should just be gone? If it was just a decision by yourself, all of it should be reverted. You can't just decide on something big like that, without discussing it on the project page first. RobJ1981 20:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Konnan

lol well this format should still be uused as far as im concerned.... or all will have is list and succession boxes and we dont want that... plus it was part of the peer reviews of the konnan article and it is the only article listed in the good article standard --- Paulley

You're helping us build something amazing. 69.145.123.171 Yes, I'm really an IP Saturday, September 23, 2006, 00:42 (UTC)

Your restoration requests

All done. Your user page still looks blank, but the edit history is intact - so you can revert to any old version (be sure to refresh the history page if it still shows the old one though).--Konstable 01:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

All done =)--Konstable 01:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Whoa! You came back!

G'day Moe! When did you get back? I was in another debate over another User:OzWrestlemaniac sockpuppet and the internal link to your user page turned blue. I thought "somebody's been stuffin' around with Moe's page" but it was actually you. Good to see you back buddy. Normy132 03:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad you've returned, Moe. Keep up the good work. And don't disappear again. That's really starting to get annoying. --TantalumTelluride 03:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Can you do me a favour?

Hey Moe. I need you to do me a massive favour. As you may (or may not) hae noticed, I go on Wikibreak tomorrow. I just had another user (User:Curse of Fenric) leave a message on my talk page concerning a possible sockpuppet (yes, another one) of User:OzWrestlemaniac. Nothing is concrete at the moment but I said I'd keep an eye on the situation. Seeing as you were involved in this issue at the beginning, do you think you could help him out with any issues he's having? I probably won't respond to this, I've got a truckload of revision to do. Thanks! Normy132 10:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Moe - if you check back to my talk page you'll see that the user concerned has (somewhat tersely I think but anyway) apologised. I think my message on her talk page hit a nerve and I put her in a spot that she couldn't get out of. It should be the end of that matter, but I do have the relevant page on my watch list if it happens again. Curse of Fenric 12:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

reply

Thanks that answered alot of my concerns.. and i agree the champonships and accomplishment heading does seem long for what it is. --- Paulley

also i dont know if you have noticed or not but recently i have been putting company subsections in wrestler bios in italics... see James Curtin, Andrew Simmons, Dudley Boyz... i dont know it may just be me but i did it by accident once and it seemed to fit nicely in the articles. esspecially in comparison with articles that dont do it like Christopher Daniels. anyway it was just an idea i toying with and i wanted your oppinion --- Paulley

Could I get some more information about your removing the section headers at the rfa? Your summary said:

"removed section headers; they are making the RFA TOC unnessecarily long. We've had bigger RFA's that never had them, and this should't be an exception"

The TOC was exactly 5 lines long and was never going to get any longer, how was that "unnessecarily long"? As for what's happened before, perhaps no one ever thought to add them for easier navigation.

I'm not trying to make a big deal out of this, I just don't understand your reasoning—and I was quite frustrated trying to find the end of the section I wanted to add a comment to; that's going to get worse as the process procedes. Thanks.Chidom talk  04:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I changed it to redirect to Click It or Ticket, I'll admit I'm not totally confident if this redirect is needed/related or not. So feel free to revert.--Andeh 15:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, #2 will be fine. Good thinking.--Andeh 16:11, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Doc's "please refrain from editting Tony's page" comment

M.E. -
Doc knows he can tell it to me straight. While I would like to be able to communicate with Tony, if Mr. Glasgow reckons I'm just making it worse, I believe him. Thanks for the thought though!

Objectivity

Search for this term still redirects to "Accuracy and precision". Why is that? Search for "Objectivity" should go to its disambiguation page, and "Accuracy and precision" should perhaps be placed on that page. Amerindianarts 00:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to bother. It appears the search function needs awhile to refresh. Amerindianarts 00:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Your listing at WP:RM was improperly formatted. I'm assuming that it was a noncontroversial proposal, but it was listed in the controversial section with the wrong template and no discussion set up on the article's talk page. —Mets501 (talk) 01:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it! See you around! —Mets501 (talk) 02:02, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
No, WP:RM has only had a noncontroversial section since yesterday or the day before :-) —Mets501 (talk) 02:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

RuthieK and page redirection

Sounds like exactly what needed to be done. My only concern would be whether or not that redirect should exist at all, or whether it would be considered 'pov' itself. --InShaneee 20:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Apparently, "arab" refers to speakers of Arabic, meaning this user is trying to make this about ethnicity. I'd nuke it, to be safe. --InShaneee 20:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Consider it nuke'd. :) --InShaneee 21:07, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Reverting at WWE roster page

I added a post on the talk page about it, see that before reverting it back. This problem needs a compromise. Snitsky is known as Gene Snitsky AND Snitsky, same goes for Mr. Kennedy/Ken Kennedy. RobJ1981 22:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, how can we compromise though? We've tried compromising on Kennedy and TJ Spyke insists on changing it back despite WWE.com's references to him as Ken. For the same reason, I felt it should be Gene Snitsky, but it's just an edit war. And I really don't like it, but I'm trying to help make this page accurate. DaHumorist 18:53, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

The TOC is great. Any updating between active and semi-active is a waste of time, people go back and forth often and the Steve Block update will wipe out any changes anyway. Inactive is different, changes for people who have completely stopped editing or have returned is worth doing. But I think you just want to make my life difficult updating User:NoSeptember/List of Administrators ;). NoSeptember 06:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

re: Album covers

There's really no discussion to be had, or rather the discussion has already been had. Wikipedia has established policy regarding decorative use of fair use images, which is what I removed in the articles being discussed. Revert their removal again, and you will be the one contravening policy. By the way, thanks ever so much for the personal attack in calling me a "nuisance"; I really appreciate it. --keepsleeping slack off! 19:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

User:MarkS/Extra edit buttons/dev2.js

Thanks for letting me know about this. This came about because I wanted the page deleted. However, you can't add the deletion request template to a javascript page so I actually moved the page to a 'dev2' (without the .js at the end). As far as I know the dev2 page has been deleted. However, I forgot that the system would automatically create a redirect page so I'm still stuck with the original page which I don't know how to delete. Any ideas? --MarkS (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

agreement!

Yep...frogs raining from the sky, cats sleeping with dogs...I hope there's no bad feelings. Rx StrangeLove 20:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm back

Hi moe epsilon. China just lifted its ban on Wikipedia. I saw your post on my talk page. I'm happy that people actually noticed ;-)

You may not remember me anymore, but,

Regards, Exir KamalabadiJoin Esperanza! 08:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I saw your reply. Wikipedia has changed a lot. Radiant is back, Essjay and Redwolf24 is gone and the WikiProjects has changed a lot. PS. I don't think China will ban Wikipedia for long moments now, not after their ban-certain-articles policy. --Exir KamalabadiJoin Esperanza! 23:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Can you tell me the full story of how Redwolf24 and Essjay left? Why did Redwolf24 go? What "other thing" in real life did Essjay pursue? --Exir KamalabadiJoin Esperanza! 00:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Danny Phantom.

Fine. No personal attacks. This time, I hope you'll actually answer my damn question. Prove it. Prove I hate Danny Phantom. Prove that I am not able to form my own opinion of something, and that what you are saying about me is fact even when it has no evidence supporting it. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't give a crap about the AfD. At no point have I ever gotten annoyed over your viewpoint or even your cussing. I got annoyed, however, when you decided it would be appropriate to make accusations that didn't hold weight. Despite not being able to (and refusing to) prove what you said about me, you refuse to admit that you are wrong in making those claims. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
What in the world are you talking about? I just stated that I don't care about your viewpoint and your cussing. And Hell, what ARE you talking about? Are you even reading what I am telling you? I told you that the only time I got annoyed with you is when you decided that you're in a better position to tell me what my opinion is than I am. When I said you should either admit that I am right or prove that you are right, I meant about what we are talking about - your baseless claims that I hate character articles and Danny Phantom. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
It seems to me that you are acting in an uncivil manner on User talk:A Link to the Past. Please remain civil and don't resort to making personal attacks or instigate edit wars. You can also take this as an NPA warning if you'd like, but I thought this fit slightly better. --tjstrf 01:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Because I only saw your edit. LttP's talk page is on my watchlist, yours hasn't been. --tjstrf 01:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
No, but it is a reason to warn you first. I didn't look over the other posts until just now. --tjstrf 01:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Indonesian-sounding names adopted by Chinese Indonesians

Hey there - I'm impartial on this one, but there was a bit of wonder as to this edit of yours, and why you redirected an article on Indonesian naming patterns to a oppressive Indonesian leader (see this edit to WP:SPLICE). Anyhow, just letting you know and while I'm assuming good faith you may want to drop the fellow a note of explanation. Cheers, Snoutwood (talk) 15:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

That's pretty much what I figured - no worries, catch you around the wiki! Snoutwood (talk) 16:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Test

What is your source for him legally changing his name? TJ Spyke 21:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

The wrestler, Andrew "Test" Martin. You moved the page and said he legally changed his name, but you provided no source. TJ Spyke 21:50, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:LA

I see that Steve Block just did an update. Your earlier edits caught most of the newly inactives beforehand, but many inactives that returned to active or semiactive, you did not get. You also made me decide to combine the active and semiactives on my list together, since such distinctions are unimportant to me (while inactive and former are important to me). Just some rambling thoughts :). Cheers, NoSeptember 11:43, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I try to make my list useful by having differences between it and WP:LA (in fact, I added a bit about how the lists differ to my list). Given that, I'm OK with having both active and semi-active as separate sections at WP:LA, I just think we shouldn't get too obsessed with constantly keeping it perfectly updated. The point is, when someone wants to contact an admin that they are directed to the active ones, so that they get a better response, so removing semi-actives from the actives made sense (and was first implemented in July 2005 IIRC). NoSeptember 14:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Adminship

It is incorrect to list me along with users who lost their adminships as a result of arbcom sancation. The case you referred to was a "spurious arbitration on relatively flimsly evidence" according to Neutrality and Snowspinner. Instead, I gave up my adminship by quitting Wikipedia. I assume you are acting in good faith, however, as I cannot expect you to be familiar with the details of a case that came up before you even became a Wikipedia editor. 172 | Talk 09:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't appreciate the tone of your reply on my talk page. I am not a user in bad standing. I am one of Wikipedia's veteran editors, and I have donated quite a lot of time to this site for which I probably could have been paid for the same kind of work anywhere else. And I did not abuse my adminship. If you have no interest in discussing this matter with me, take it to the arbcom for clarification. I recommend asking Simon P in particular, who assured me once by email that he would clarify things to any user under the confusion with which you're dealing. 172 | Talk 03:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Look, I think you are a good, well-intentioned user, and you're merely confused about a situation which took place before you started work on the site. I don't want us to be on bad terms. I'm sorry if my replies to you came across as terse earlier. If you want, we can can both go ahead and restore the messages from each other on our respective pages and settle this matter in a more friendly manner. 172 | Talk 04:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Do you have an email account to which I can send some exchanges with arbitrators? I also recommend you take a look at this comment [5] by long-time arbitrator Neutrality noting that I gave up my adminship. 172 | Talk 04:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
