Laissez-faire Yi whats-his-name

[edit]

Thanks for the edit; I had just noticed it myself, went to login and you had already rolled back one of the edits. Keen eyes for the win.

Cheers! BrianRaker (talk) 09:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RD

[edit]

No prob; you're right, redirecting it to a real biz is inappropriate even if there's a parody about it, so the character RD was more appropriate. Nate (chatter) 03:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your spelling corrections, don't know how they'd escaped detection (by me or anyone else) so long! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 04:42, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pehkay

Pehkay seems to be a member of a church organization and said "what the" while not using foul language in the text, he/she implied that all of his/her postings have been about promoting the local church. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anyuse200 (talkcontribs) 20:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Superscripted ordinals

[edit]

Re your comment to Jajhill, please RTFMOS

  • Ordinal numbers are given as words using the same rules as for cardinal numbers. The exception is ordinals for centuries, which are always expressed in figures (the 5th century CE; 19th-century painting). The ordinal suffix (e.g., th) is not superscripted (23rd and 496th, not 23rd and 496th).

-- Zsero (talk) 23:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The rule for cardinal numbers is given earlier:
  • In the body of an article, single-digit whole numbers (from zero to nine) are given as words; numbers of more than one digit are generally rendered as figures, and alternatively as words if they are expressed in one or two words (sixteen, eighty-four, two hundred, but 3.75, 544, 21 million).
But
So in the body of the article, GHWB could be given either as the 41st or as the forty-first president, but in an infobox he's always the 41st.
Hope this helps -- Zsero (talk) 06:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think everyone has their userpage and talk page on watch. In fact, I think it becomes watched automatically when you create your account. Anyway, I didn't see the edits since I'm not very active on this wiki (I do make a few major edits every now and then though), though thanks for the reverts and warning. --AAA!

Man la yahduruhu al-faqih

[edit]

Hi and thank you for writing. The correct litteral translation is "For him not in the presence of a Jurisprudent", not Jurisprudence, because the latter is "Fiqh" while the former is "Faqih". I just just add an a between presence and jurisprudent. Thank you anyway. Hamid-Masri (talk) 11:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Little Big Horn Edits

[edit]

Thanks, Shenme, for doing the research legwork to confirm the (likely) validity of my edits. The "Trout" name is clearly a bad joke that was just allowed to persist too long. For the other - and one more I haven't yet touched, "Frank Stanton, packer" - I've studied that battle for 45 years both in primary source material and in the many books written about it, and I never once came across the name "Lindsay" among the KIA. Doesn't necessarily mean that there wasn't a Lindsay killed or a Stanton wounded - but if there is a source for either or both, someone needs to bring forward. Looks to me like that old Wiki sport of putting one's own name into an article about history or pop culture. Thanks again!Sensei48 (talk) 04:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Too many entries

[edit]

Some entries listed in 2008 seem to be inappopriate for the tone of the article. Some could be used in other articles. Birdienest81 (talk) 06:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, there are too many entries for one month. The February section in 2007 lists 25 entries while the February section in 2008 lists 45 entries. I think that is too many entries. Shouldn't some entries be located. This is not an article about all current events.Birdienest81 (talk) 06:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

[edit]

Do not post slanderous accusations on my page again and do not rant on my page either. If you are going to point out problems point out evidence as to why you think they are problems. Hypocritically telling me that strong opinions is a "bad thing" is childish as well as hypocritical. You let your strong opinion be known by carelessly posting a rant and not backing up what you said with anything but emotionalism and not bothering to research.

Take heed:

"Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own." - Proverbs 26:17

Go wander and pull on some other dog's ears, like Novangelis'. One more thing: learn what evidence means, and learn what bias means.

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Starfire777 (talkcontribs) 19:32, 22 March 2008
Starfire777's comment above is clearly a breach of WP:CIVIL, and is probably best deleted. You have every right to delete such comments from your user talk page. The guidance you posted on Starfire777's talk page was reasonable and helpful, but unsurprisingly was deleted by the editor who was on a rampage of disruptive editing, and was subsequently given a temporary block for edit warring. While it's laudable to try to help new users to understand how to contribute, your time is valuable and sometimes a brief reference to policies or use of a suitable template can work better. Template:Welcomenpov is one possibility, and that page includes instructions for use as well as links to related templates.

Thank you for your assistance

[edit]

I really appreciate your help with the Anthony Nalli entry. Notimpressed / unimpressed has been on an completed unwarranted smear campaign through Aviation.ca and the General Aviation Ontario Yahoo list. He has made several false and defamatory statements in these places that have since been removed by administrators. He has also been asked to publicly retract his statements and apologize. Not only has this not taken place but he has embarked on other troubling actions including Wikipedia and also a public organization in which both he and Anthony are members. He is well known within this organization as being problematic.

It has been suggested that the Anthony Nalli article be protected as it is not generally updated legitimately very often and has only been the target of vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avsafety (talkcontribs) 05:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This guy sounds paranoid. Also, his footnotes do not verify the claims. They are self-referential and do not point to a source.

I think that last comment might have been from user:noconflict, another sockpuppet of user:notimpressed and user:unimpressed. He continues to find ways to continue his attack despite it being groundless and pointless. Avsafety (talk) 23:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In answer to the question if www.pcas.ca "Close Calls Articles" is self-published and therefore unusable, the answer is yes. The author of the Anthony Nalli piece is Anthony Nalli. the link is to his business website where he has self-published his articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.128.142 (talk) 11:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense and is reasonable. There are several other websites where the articles are posted by independent webmasters in addition to the magazines the column is carried in monthly. The www.pcas.ca postings can be disregarded without adversely affecting the article. Avsafety (talk) 12:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No Substantiation. Seemed the editor here did not test these links supplied as footnotes. One is dead. Two does not substantiate the claim.

No problem, thanks for the message. While I doubt an IP would have a problem with having his old warnings archived, nevertheless the problem with the content you reverted is that it strongly implies a contradiction of WP:BLANKING, the present wording of which reflects the result of numerous discussions, not to mention pointless revert wars on IP talk pages. 86.44.30.169 (talk) 00:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Opps. I apologize. I really do not remember doing that. I must have accidentally hit "rollback". Probably happened while doing a mouse gesture with my watchlist open. That never happened when I used Opera, but Firefox's mouse gesture extension just isn't as good. Again, I apologize and I want you to know that I did not purposely revert you.

Kosovo Flag

[edit]

This is the International situation International_reaction_to_the_2008_Kosovo_declaration_of_independence, which is largely about politics not what Wikipedia does. The constitution of Kosovo has yet to be ratified by its own government and until it does it is still part of FRY. I think the schedule for ratification is 14/15 June 2008, but check WP:Kosovo for policy confirmation. Recognition or the lack of it doesn't play on Wikipedia (and boy is there fun on disputed territories), verifiability demands a ratified sovereign constitution. Until then the Autonomous Republic of Kosovo would be the likeliest candidate for the flag - I think it is still flying on WP:Kosovo. -- EhsanQ (talk) 11:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if a user blanks their article, you can csd it, Huggle will usually comment that the creator of the page is the one who blanked, but for some reason it didn't.

Hi Shenme. I believe there was agreement that there should be a degree of discussion regarding predictions of Muhammad in Hindu sources on the basis that the content could be reliably sourced. Looking at the section now, it's likely that it can be reduced a bit in weight, but there does seem to be some depth of discussion in the sources provided such as Sikand so the topic probably shouldn't be thrown out the window completely IMO.

One of the advantages of not having many supporters at your RFA is that there are fewer people to thank at the end. Thanks for your support and your willingness to look at my complete record. I'm going to try to interpret this resounding defeat as a statement that I should choose my words more carefully in the future, and remember that every statement I make gets recorded forever, just waiting to get carefully transcribed onto my next RFA. I would go insane if I believed that it was repudiation of what I truly meant: that no editor should consciously and willfully ignore guidelines and policies, and editors that repeatedly do so should not be rewarded for or supported in doing so.

About my Black List

I keep that list so I can show an administrator that this editor is clearly a repeat offender by keeping tabs on the specific webpages that show the differences so I can place them on the noticeboard or an admin's talk page. In otherwords, it's a form of link-storage sandbox. I only use it for incidences of vandalism that have been noted or warned by other editors, or occasionally ClueBot after a review of their edit. I only use this on blatent vandalism and it will be occasionally placed on the Administrator's Noticeboard. As a matter of fact I intend to create a template that transcludes the page to the noticeboard inside a box. The userbox is ment to be a statement of my dedication to fighting and no-tolerance approach to vandalism.--Ipatrol (talk) 01:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Using AWB

[edit]

Hi. On the few occasions where someone's noticed and informed me of a systematic error produced by my use of AWB across a number of pages, I've happily worked through them to correct it. If it's any consolation, the number of pages affected in this way are a tiny fraction of those edited without problem. To paraphrase a saying, "anti-toolism" might result in useful babies such as AWB being thrown out with the proverbial bathwater.

The AWB edits of non-encyclopedic pages involve updating links rather than altering content, so shouldn't pose a problem. The number of times a systematic error in an AWB task has unintentionally caused changes to content on these pages is so small that I can't recall the last time it occurred. I do try to apologize and learn from any inconvenience caused.

Nothing wrong with being anti-toolist; they do not make misteaks impossible to make. "To err is human, but to really screw things up requires a computer." You're right, I didn't fix much at all!

You anti-toolist, you

[edit]

Yah, I pressed the "vandal" button in this revert. I like Twinkle 'cause it makes reverting malicious vandalism easier, although I see your point about it seeming harsh. Sorry about that. My contributions list show, I think, that I'm not about reverting vandalism, though--I'm into improving articles. Maya Angelou is one of my pet projects; her book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will become a FA. Dr. Angelou's article is heavily vandalized, in some pretty horrendous ways, so I tend to be a little protective towards it. I use Twinkle because I'm basically a lazy person, so I apologize if my use of the vandal button ruffled your feathers (pun intended). Although please understand that if you had made the edit while logged in, I wouldn't have been so quick at pressing that particular button, since it's typically anonymous IPs that have done the most malicious vandalizing.

I renamed them to match the article titles, because Obama's doesn't have it in the infobox. The MOS should be consistent. Tim010987 (talk) 01:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your note

[edit]

Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comments. It is too bad that there isn't a better way to cooperate on the same pattern. Unfortunately, I'd still have to check them all even if you had done some. I guess if I knew you were doing it and you worked forward from the last items that came up in the search that would work. Not sure what my best find is yet. Was pretty amazed at the number who use "formely". Keep up the good work. LilHelpa (talk) 11:57, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's good stuff. I generally don't think to check those, but will look for them now. Thanks. LilHelpa (talk) 01:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for you recent note re: picture file misspellings. Yeah, I know about them, and usually catch myself, but I sure missed one there. LilHelpa (talk) 19:41, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see from your post User talk:Andycjp#Fourth (or fifth?) questioning of your linking/delinking that you are aware of this user's history of transgression. User:Hordaland very well summarized past efforts to reign him in, including mine, here. I see that he has told you an excuse for the activity you questioned, which seems to be the first step in a pattern of pretending innocence, flippantly dismissing the charge, and then arguing with Wikipedia policy. He has been temporarily blocked in the past, but he has always been allowed to continue his prolific renegade editing. I do not understand why; his edits range from biased to inaccurate to absurd, and administrators have acknowledged this. Do you think it would be worth going to the noticeboard once more? (At the risk of contradicting myself, I will warn you against embroiling yourself to the point of frustration. Following my initial correspondence and complaints, I found myself burnt out and drawn away from editing articles.) MagnesianPhoenix (talk) 17:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
