User:Nede and repeated article creation

Yep, you're right. Once I looked at the talk page closer, there were, well, months of creation of inappropriate articles. I made a point of explaining that...in the notice that they got blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 02:27, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

This—I'm a Southerner, I can't bring myself to use the y-word :) —has Setanta and is following the 2007 Rugby World Cup. I know that Rugby Union (which the World Cup is) uses the yellow/red cards. I think Rugby League (that's with the six-tackle count) uses the sin bin also, but I think in Australia, the referee just holds up ten fingers to indicate a binning instead of producing a yellow card. (And don't get me started on Gaelic football and hurling. They use yellow and red cards for caution/sending off, plus a "black book warning" where the referee shows his notebook as a "you've been warned, don't make me warn you" type warning. But I digress.) —C.Fred (talk) 03:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Clearly you need a subscription to Setanta Sports. :) They carry Aussie Rules also; the Grand Final was this past weekend, and Geelong won their first title in years. I always wanted to be a goal judge in the AFL; they used to have the coolest uniforms, although they've gotten rid of the hats and trenchcoats, but they still have the coolest signals, esp. for goals and behinds. I cut my teeth on cable sports back then; I still follow the CFL, which I can get through various of the Fox or Comcast sports network channels. —C.Fred (talk) 03:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I've never been yelled at in the press box—no, wait, not true. I was electric clock operator earlier this season at a HS game, and it was a blowout, so the mercy rule (running clock) was in effect. The trailing team gets a drive going late. From their booth, I hear "Clock stops on a first down!" Umm, not in the mercy rule situation it doesn't. :) (They apologized after the game, to their credit.) The best thing I ever heard was a few years back when there was a female kicker for a team in Atlanta. That brought out a few more girls onto team, including one playing wide receiver. I was ECO on one of her team's away games. She ran a route and got tackled, and the defensive player's dad yelled, "My son just tackled a girl in the middle of the football field!" —C.Fred (talk) 05:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear Realkyhick, tiptoeing across your star-spangled banners, I inform you that I have a picture for the above-mentioned article; cannot however paste it here. Any e-mail id to send it to you ?--BobClive 09:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: AfD nomination of List of entertainers appearing on Laugh USA

I noticed that while I was busy with other things, you initiated action on a page I had painstakenly worked on by including false information; "Despite the assertion of the lead paragraph of being 'concise,' the list is anything but." It can never be accurately maintained." With all due respect to your careless assertion, it was accurately maintained, using the documentation on the XM display, I daily listen to that channel and backed off the edits when I saw that no changes were necessary, that the most frequently aired comedians remained current, and those with only cursory airtime were not included. For example, you never saw Jim Carey on the list, even though he had appeared infrequently. In any case, I read your own user page and thought at first you might be a similar-thinking fellow with a similar worldview, but even a cursory reading of your discussion page shows you think nothing of upsetting contributors and creating controversy. For that matter, you appear to be the most abusive editor I've ever come across. Apparently you are unaware of the meaning of the closing words of 1 Corinthians 13:2, for your legacy on this discussion page appears to be one of contention and divisiveness, or did I read it wrong?grubbmeister 01:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Surfing

Don't mean to be ouside of protocol, I'm new to this. What is your basis for deletion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Surfmac2004 (talk • contribs) 02:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Montblanc Special Theme Edition pens

Sorry, I forgot the under construction tag and had saved Montblanc Special Theme Edition pens with the cut/paste (which you correctly flagged). Check it again and see if you can remove the speedy delete tag. Thanks for the quick catch! - BMcCJ 05:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking about merging as well and putting all the MontBlanc Limited editions into one article, with sections for each one. Thank you! - BMcCJ 20:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

DELETION

I've added some sources to the Delete page. What happens next? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Surfmac2004 (talk • contribs) 13:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC) Hey Hick Dude...Thanks. I'm looking for more info. I had some in the past and I'm digging for it. Please advise as to why you challenge the "Who invented surfing" info. e-mail me at scottmc@viperlink.net —Preceding unsigned comment added by Surfmac2004 (talk • contribs) 12:25, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikimania 2008/Conference of the Americas

Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [1]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.

As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [2].

For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.

If you do not wish to receive further notices about the COTA please remove your name from our notify list. --Cspurrier 20:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Lecterns/Podiums

I understand your logic, but I don't think an encyclopedia should be held back by the inaccuracies of the material mentioned. Regardless of what the host calls them, they are not podiums. If you think that they need to be referred to by that name, I would suggest you add a notation to the effect that the host refers to the lecterns as podiums and put them in quotes. (As in, "A contestant stands at a lectern (which the host inaccurately refers to as a "podium"). Whie at the "podium", the contestant...") There's no place in the article to indicate that the inaccuracy is the show's not the Wikipedia's. I, personally, would say that it would only be worthwhile to use the incorrect term if it is a vital part of the show. (If the host's catchphrase was "Take it to the Podium!" or something.) Otherwise, I think we should take the side of accuracy. Rhindle The Red 02:36, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

If what you say is true, then I think you need to add it at the first instance of the incorrect use of the word "podium". Otherwise, an editor of the same mind as I might start fixing things before he ever gets to the point of the disclaimer. I don't know enough about the show to muck about with it too much, but I would go with my notation/quotes suggestion. It allows you to use the word "podium", while making it clear it is inaccurate. Of course, you could also try to find creative ways not to refer directly to the item at all. Rhindle The Red 12:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
