...because the template always updates whereas the medal count doesn't i.e. it has to be be done manually. If the count isn't updated and China aren't in the lead at any given moment (say, tomorrow at 2am your time when you're asleep) the page will be inaccurate. Therefore put a stake in the ground which is correct instead of using the template. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:05, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
And the human rights of those incarcerated in Gitmo for the past five years without charge? Give up. You're on shaky ground. And don't bother editing my talkpage ever again. Your attitude is shocking and for a "Christian" I'm utterly disgusted. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:16, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Erection is actually Truth's article. But I'm rather worried that you use erection in such a demeaning way. --Gwib -(talk)- 17:07, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I will happily review you, however, now is not a good time. I will review you, but it most likely won't happen until tomorrow. Cheers, Razorflame 20:23, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I sure do like to review people, but I can't review you; maybe only at the moment, because of two reasons. One, I don't think I'm qualified enough; I'm not an expert myself. Two, I don't see you when you come in to edit, so I'm not very sure what kind of edits you make, and how active you are. Moreover, I'm not a very active user myself. Sorry, but I can't really help you at the moment. Minor or Prime 08:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey Aaron. Just a heads-up re. ---> w:Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Difficult situation. Dunno if you have any comments to make but if you do, I can relay them there if needs be. Just so's you know. It's beneficial to you as 1) it keeps your case 'hot' still and 2) it impresses on the community that those two socks were not yours - Alison ❤ 16:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello christianMan16! I', sure you know who I am and since I didn't know about this Wiki until recently I didn't know how to cantact you to tell you how deeply I'm sorry for what I did. Now I'm not here to bring up the past, what I'm here for is to ask you if there is a wrestling wiki project here? And if you don't reply I will understand why, and I'm a Christian to!!

I see in your signature "happy birthday to me," so I'd like to wish you a happy birthday! Plus I haven't given you a message in a while. Hello again. -- American Eagle (talk) 00:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello ChristiamMan16, thank you very much for the barnstar. I don't know what difference my note on the Administrator noticeboard on EnWP regarding your unbanning will have; EnWP are a much bigger community than we are. All I can say is that people change during their life. They see that some things they did were wrong. One one hand, editing in community-based projects is a step in the life of people - at some point they will move on. One the other, we are a very small community, so losing an editor that can be trusted will probably hurt us more than EnWp, which has many editors. Good luck for your future endeavours. Personally, I hope you do not retire, and help us get more sports-related articles. :) All the best. --Eptalon (talk) 08:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Just a note to say thanks, TrueCRaysball/Archive, for your comments and vote in my RFA which closed as successful with 17 supports and no opposes. I am quite impressed with the level of support, and I promise to do my best as an administrator. Thanks again, Kennedy (talk) 10:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC) |
Rollback is for vandalism, and not edits like this. Next time, it will be removed. Majorly talk 18:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
With ref to your query at at User talk:RyanCross as to whether I have something against you- no. However, I believe in your comments on my nomination of Big Mac Index, you were being petty because I had taken you to task for lying [1] and for having a signature that does not comply with WP:SIG [2] as well as rejecting two of your DYK noms for not meeting even the most generous interpretation of DYK rules. I don't have anything against you overall but I will take up any editor when they lie, when they don't meet our guidelines (especially after complaining about readability of a page and their signature's lack of compliance with the guideline is a significant contributer to lack of readability), and I will reject DYK noms that are of insufficient quality. My rejection of your DYK noms can be reviewed by any other editor and I will not comment further on your DYK noms in the future - one way or the other. You appear to be unable to manage receiving any feedback which has been honestly, even if forthrightly, given. --Matilda (talk) 05:55, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey CM16,
Please can you substitute the DYK templates ((DYKyes)), ((DYKalmost)) and ((DYKno)).
Thanks!
BG7even 20:25, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I went to eat, and left the page open. Changed it and after, I saw it was an archive. I do believe that you would of been a good admin. Hoping you'll do better next time (if there is a next time!). Yotcmdr (talk) 18:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
I just wanted to drop you a personal note to apologise for the assumption. Your username was within the the sockpuppet category for one of the blocked socks on enwiki, so it seemed incredibly strange to me that you requested adminship here a day later. Some things didn't add up. But it was wrong of me to do so, and I am sorry. Best wishes, PeterSymonds (talk) 19:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Start the RfA over again. Synergy 19:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi - what an awful kerfuffle. I feel bad for you and you must be feeling quite stressed. Some gratuitous advice: I think you need to refocus a bit on adding content (we all do!). Your mainspace edit count is too low in proportion to the rest of your activity for an admin in my view. Best wishes --Matilda (talk) 20:03, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it's been a while. ;) We used to be good wiki-friends. :) I am very active and am an administrator on Simple English Wikiquote, which I really like. I hope you are doing well. God bless, American Eagle (talk) 06:00, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Just a heads up, I've been vandalism reverting for 4 years on Wikipedia (on en.wp). When I edited that IP to post that warning, there was no indication of the location or user of that address. I did not violate WP:BITE, since they are not newcomers, and the IP has been persistently warned in the past for everything ranging from test edits to outright vandalism.
I think you meant that I violated WP:CIVIL since the header was rude.
Either way, with the amount of warnings that IP had, the post was justified in my opinion. You are of course, welcome to ask an administrator to review the edit and seek another opinion. Iceflow (talk) 11:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind expression of support. I suspect 3rd co nominations is a bit over the top but I appreciate very much the accompanying thought so I certainly would not say no! Regards --Matilda (talk) 23:16, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Ummm - good faith can only be assumed if the edits are not vandalising. Perhaps you know nothing at all about the subject matter - but the new users edits of Deep Purple were vandalism - no good faith about it - three edits in a row and the third after your friendly warning. If you did know something about the topic then you would find that ((uw-test1)) (subst: of course) would have been more appropriate. Once you had welcomed him - test 1 was no longer appropriate - I didn't like the wording of test 2 hence I went to test 3 which is more definite. Regards --Matilda (talk) 04:04, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi i'm new. do you know how to upload photos?—This unsigned comment was added by Tv145033 (talk • changes) 00:54, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Umm - saw your message to Samekh in effect endorsing my comments about his signature. But as you will remember I had raised a similar issue with you and you chose not to change. Samekh can choose not change even though he is violating the guideline just as you chose. His violation is worse than yours in my view because it affects readers not just editors - but that is just a point of view and it is just a guideline. --Matilda (talk) 05:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

The user was using two different IP's: 65.25.15.87, which recreated the page twice, and 76.212.230.9 which created three other pages that had to be deleted. I felt that an only warning was justified. Oysterguitarist 04:57, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Just want to point out one thing- you assuming Oysterguitarist was not acting in good faith when he was and you just did not know the reasoning behind his actions is actually violation WP:AGF. Questioning him about his actions is one thing, but to accuse him of wrong doing with no proof is not assuming he acted in good faith and totally ironing when the very thing you are accusing him of is violating AGF. -- Creol(talk) 06:08, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
I fail to see how you telling someone "you are not assuming good faith for first time offenders" when the case actually had absolutely nothing to due with first time offenders and was blatantly incorrect and yet you accused him of bad faith is a resolved matter when I do not see a warning on your talk page about AGF and him apologizing to you for actions you are guilty of and not him. -- Creol(talk) 06:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

ie -- ✧ ChristianMan16 22:19, 16 November 2008 (UTC) which makes the username just a little less cryptic. I am not sure that anyone will realise that clicking on ✧ will link to your contributions - I don't think they need to via the sig anyway. It does show up of course with mouseover.

Hi - I am in the embarrassing position of multiple offers of nomination and conomination for RfA - please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Matilda and my user talk page at User talk:Matilda#Ready?.

Hey, I wanted to let you know I went through the articles in your sandbox and hid the cats and iw. Generally, it's a good idea to omit or hid these things on pages you're working on in your own namespace. No big deal, just thought I'd let you know. :-) · Tygrrr... 19:03, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello. Since you have offered to nominate Matilda (talk · contribs) for admimship, her RfA is located at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Matilda which I recently created.

I wrote that plot summary from scratch and tried to make it as simple as possible. If you still think it's complex, what, may I ask, do you find complex about it? I could use feedback on how i write plot summaries out. FWIW, the en verion is 876 words, while mine is about 810, so I succeeded in compressing mine. alexandra (talk) 06:49, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
The only answer I can come up with is "weird edit conflict situation". I fixed the cats and it never told me there was an edit conflict, but went to a version prior to your adding the infobox. I was in the midst of correcting to your info and my cats, but you had already corrected it. -- Creol(talk) 07:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Found a great source for Wrestlemania in 2007 - New York Times article - went to add it but there is no article on on that event :-( . The NYT article is interesting to those of us who do not watch this sort of television - even noting world-wide impact - ie delivered via satellite to 110 countries + Every week, wrestling shows attract more than 15 million television viewers. --Matilda (talk) 06:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Cman. Please look at this. You were advised that you should only use rollback for vandalism. Please only use rollback for vandalism. Other edits should contain a reason, and if it is rollback, there is no reason given. Regards, Kennedy (talk) 11:09, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't calling religion a "myth", I was calling "creation myths" "myths". An "origin myth" and "creation myth" are specific terminology. It has been the subject of numerous "theories", and all theories are not creation myths or origin myths. "Theories" was general, and "myth" is not disparaging. I personally am an atheist who has spiritual beliefs, but my edits on universe did not reflect my personal opinion. Jonas D. Rand T 00:46, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I took a look at your userspace (here) and noticed you could do with a little house cleaning in there. You have 100 subpages counting all the sandboxes and redirects left behind from pages being moved to the mainspace. I would suggest taking a look at the list and requesting deletion for those pages you do not need any longer. -- Creol(talk) 07:41, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey,
Cheers for the hooks to start with, you are keeping it living! (We currently only have one ;) )
Just a note, we're not using the |entry= parameter at the moment. If some kind soul wants to up date all the noms to do it, then fine, but I think it's an all or none thing, otherwise it looks messy and inconsistent.
Just a thought ;)

Hello Cman, Regarding this - The point in having the table is so you can see at a glance who is online at what times. The table is UTC. It makes it a lot harder to interprate the table when your online time is in a different time zone. I strongly suggest you convert it to UTC. Or I will. Kennedy (talk) 10:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Microsoft Vista can handle censoring of Simple Wikipedia with their parental controls. If you set the parental controls "Web Restrictions" to medium, it will allow access to Simple Wikipedia, but not pages like "penis", "nudity", "ejaculation". Pages like "elephant" do show up. If the parental controls are set to "high", Simple Wikipedia does not come up. As far as I am concerned, that solves my issues. I just need to do some testing on the commons website. Take care, and thank you for your supportive words in this matter. Zzmonty (talk) 00:48, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
There is just too much resistance to setting up categories. Plus, I need to spend my time and energy worrying about my own children. The tools to allow somebody to view acceptable pages (to some level), and not view unacceptable pages exists. This is very different from 10 years ago when whole websites could only be blocked and there was not a distinction between Sex education, Pornography, and general discussion of the topic.
If somebody does not have Vista, they can buy NetNanny for $29.99 and it will work along the same lines. On top of that, within 4 yrs, Vista or higher will be the standard.
If you are interested, I am working on a project in wikibooks. wikibooks:User:zzmonty It is a visual encylopedia designed to allow kids to easily access images that they could use in reports or just playing. (My son loves the B page where I put a link to the sound of bear growling by the picture of a bear). For some images I am going to just provide a link to the WikiCommons category. But for others, I am going to have to create their own page. This will be especially true with the human anatomy images. A child wanting to see a picture of a chest does not need to see a picture of a chest being cut open during an operation. :) I am also having to clean up some categories. The "chains" category had some images on the main level that had to be moved to more appropriate categories.
Thanks again. Zzmonty (talk) 12:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
