Report a mistake on the talk page
Before becoming angry at me for reverting your legitimate edit, please realize that Recent-Page Patrollers occasionally make mistakes, as Wikipedia is often vandalized, and sometimes we miswarn a user. If you believe I have reverted your edit in error, please calmly leave me a message below, and I will look into your edit. Thank you for your patience.

Behave yourself

Please do not blank my user page. Admin consensus was that my user page is just fine. Go edit an article or something.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 07:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First, there was no such consensus; you've been asked by multiple people to change it, and WP:USERPAGE says that if that occurs, you ought to. Second, I'd like to remind you of WP:CIVIL, which you've been warned about in the past. If you have constructive criticism or a point to bring up for someone who made a change in good faith, please do. -Part Deux 14:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You're quite wrong about my userpage, among other things. Ever since I got rid of the death threats (directed towards me, mind you), [1] [2] no one has posted a problem with the current version of my user page. Keeping this lack of controversy mind, your blanking of someone else's user page can only be seen as mischievous at best, aggressive at worst. Furthermore, no one's ever warned me about civility in the past. Maybe you're confusing me with someone else. Once again, I'd respectfully suggest that you focus your efforts on improving articles rather than fussing over an innocuous and little-noticed user page.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 15:39, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your help in getting the Naty Botero page up to snuff. I appreciate it! Oh, and a p.s.--be mindful of the name of the country...it's Colombia (though I have seen a very early flag in the Quinta de Bolivar that uses the "u"). Cheers! Hwonder talk contribs 02:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure; actually, I had been doing a much bigger fix, but got an edit conflict with you, so I only added a few things. Part Deux 22:05, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redhouse Yacht Club

The article at Redhouse Yacht Club has been substantially improved. I'm not the original author, but saw it at AfD and thought it might have some merit. A few of us have reworked the article with independent references and removed a bunch of trivia taken from the Club's website. I beleive this now meets WP standards as a subject which is noticed nationally wihtin South Africa and to some extent internationally in specialty racing circles. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

How dare you

Who the hell are you? Why the hell are you warning me? Why don't people understand that J Di Started this, so leave me alone. 1B6 09:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't even see J Di's comments; all I saw was your rude comments to Ryulong. And, I might like to point out that several regulars (including administartors) telling you you're wrong just might have a point (*cough*). And comments like I loathe you with a passion only show your inability to control yourself. Personally, I would consider myself lucky if I were you, that you haven't been blocked for incivility already. As for JDi started it, I think you ought to read up on our policies concerning blocks, and it seems a little surprising to me that you, a newbie, would presume that JDi "started it" when he, following policy, didn't block an IP, and you decided to become rude to him. Please, I ask you to stop, now. Part Deux 09:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Antwort

Who in the name of god are you calling a newbie? I have been here scince the project started you (not under the same username).

secondly, and most importantly, YOU ARE NOT AN ADMIN, so dont tell me what to do. *(cough)*.

Now, please leave me alone. 1B6 09:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

fine

No, your right, I wont stand up for myself anymore, I 'll just let the whole fucking community trample all over me, ok? thanks . 1B6 09:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hmmm

I noticed that you deleted my last message. This is inadvisable, as a talkpage is a record of your activities here on wikipedia, although they clutter up your talkpage, you should keep all your messages/warnings/disputes ect. 1B6 12:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note that there's already Category:Swiss artists, so having such a list is redudant. Additionally, the creator, Vspano (talk · contribs), originally created the article with a single entry, with a link to a site belonging to a "Vincent Spano". That's why I put marked the articles as spam. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 08:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, agreed it may be redundant, but that's not CSD. Anyway, give him time to work on the list, if he comes back tomorrow, and it still only has one person on it, then it's probably spam. Newbies can be pretty slow at creating new articles. Part Deux 08:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


What vandalism??

Seems like a recurring theme on your discussion page here you attacking innocent users. What vandalism are you talking about? 69.140.51.137 09:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck? I may have made a mistake, but was it necessary to undo my vandalism reversions: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]? Sometimes vandal fighters make mistakes, so before you go templating me back and redoing the vandalism I undid, I suggest you pay close attention. As for the user above, that user has been blocked for vandalism, and got in trouble with several administrators. Please check your facts and read up on Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars. Part Deux 00:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Im quite fed up with people giving vandalism warnings without properly checking what they are changing. Apologies don't excuse the fact that you are trying to do edits quickly rather than properly. There is no excuse for poor edits, hasty edits, and holier than thou attitudes when making edits. How about doing your work properly before labeling people vandals and having to apologize after? Regarding the changes I made, I was simply reviewing your work and felt that the minor changes you made were not warranted or did not improve the articles you mentioned. People can judge for themselves. In no case did I revert your changes in order to have "vandalism" placed back in an article or out of spite, I simply came across them by checking your contributions. I didn't realize that only your changes were legitimate and anyone who reverts your changes is mistaken or a vandal. That doesn't seem to be an attitude thats helpful to wikipedia or social towards fellow wikipedia users.69.140.51.137 06:37, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'm sorry. You're right, I shouldn't have done it. Sorry. Just FYI, though, per WP:BLP, you might want to include citations or for facts like this: [8]. Some people (like myself), might mistakenly see it as vandalism. Again, sorry. Part Deux 07:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Why Are You accusing Me of Sockpuppetry

Hey! I have a question for you! Why in the Hell are you accusing me of sockpuppetry, by suspecting that I'm using User:Fil-Co as my account when in fact it's not mine. I don't even know who hat hell is User:Fil-Co.. You guys, including yourself is accusing me again!!.How dare you accused me.. When in fact it's false..Someone out there is trying to frame me and get me into trouble..I'll be reported your accusations to the head administrator. User:Ramirez72

Go ahead. In fact, you're evading a block right now, and the administrators have already gotten involved: [9]. Look, I don't have anything against you, and you might have valuable stuff to add to Wikipedia, but block evasion and personal attacks are not the way to go. Please stop evading your block. Part Deux 05:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Look I don't know how the hell is User:Fil-Co, alright!!!Some-one out there is trying to frame me and get me into trouble?? And also User:Fil-co is also trying to sabotage me!!! I need your help, Why don't you believe on this?? User:Ramirez72
  • Look, if you say you're sorry and promise to stop using sockpuppets, I'll withdraw the request for checkuser. Checkusers can prove once and for all if someone is a sockpuppet or not. Part Deux 06:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sorry for my incivil behaviour, I wish it never happen.. But someone out there really hates my guts right now and that user:Is pretending to be me?? That unknown person is trying too sabotage me and damage my reputation as a good wiki-contributer.. For the second time who the hell is User:Fil-Co..?? User:Ramirez72

I did not make any changes to that page. I have made only 1 change to any Wikipedia page and that was to Jetsgo Airlines. Please note that the IP address you refer to is a university wireless Internet address accessible by any one of the 16,000 people here. So your charge, at least to me, is both baseless and false.

Ah, it appears you are on a public IP; someitmes people get messages meant for others in this case. Apologies for any inconvenience. Part Deux 15:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nowhere near history of sculpture

So yeah, i was nowhere near history of sculpture (i hadn't even been to the page till i got this message), so yeah, blocking me from Wiki would be kinda pointless (esp considering this is a temp IP anway), so idk what is up. Could someone be hacking my IP? Otherwise, check somewhere else mate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.148.208.55 (talk) 19:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Meineke Car Care Bowl

Thanks for fixing my revert on Meineke Car Care Bowl. I'm having some issues with popups and I screwed up the revert. -- Billma 13:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please state a specific and actionable npov concern on the talk page of this article (and any other article where you add a npov template). Savidan 16:39, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Well, I did it in the edit summary; I thoguht that would be enough. Will do. Part Deux 16:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. It wasn't as I first thought. Thanks for the heads-up. Part Deux 16:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: User talk:83.67.217.254

Ah, I see the situation now. In that case, I'll do a 360 on the matter, and clear the autoblock as soon as the MySQL issue gets fixed. Sorry for the confusion there. —Pilotguy go around 19:43, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Thanks for "encouraging" me to participate to the discussion. Now, I encourage you not to delete the images and destroy my work before having a proper and courteous exchange like grownups should, without necessarily calling the headmaster.Max Thayer 07:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, although I'm not new to wikipedia I have only been there on AFC for a week or so, I am familiar with the noability guidelines but I openly admit I may have made a few mistakes in the past. Regards - Tellyaddict 20:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, i noticed ur commentary on the talk page of Trance. I marked-up the bulk of the article and appreciate it isn't orderly...but I was hoping to incite other editors to help craft the article. I utilised the definition as a starting point as many people STILL have very impassioned responses to the usage of 'trance' as a legitimate archterm for numerous related phenomena. This is similar to the tract that Charles Tart, Hoffman and other authors have taken. I would appreciate your assistance if you wish to help edit the article.

Cheers

Sorry

Sorry about the template I put on Yankee go home, I guess I was too fast. My apologies once again. Radio_Orange 14:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No no no, don't worry about it. You were doing correctly. Part Deux 14:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The latest version still spoke of the album as future. It starts off by saying: "Now That's What I Call Music! 25 or Now 25 is a music compilation that will be released in July 2007. The album will be the 25th edition of the U.S. Now! series." So I guess it probably is not released yet. Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-18 18:33Z

Thanks. After doing a search, it appears this is correct. Part Deux 18:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AFC rejecting

Sorry, the script I'm using was out of date. Will (I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!) 14:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Can you tell me what script that is? I'd like to use it - I recently had to remove most scripts from my monobooks because they stopped working. I can't even use Lupin's antivandal script anymore, and I have to revert manually. Part Deux 14:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Add this to monobook.js:
importScript('User:Sceptre/afc.js');
importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Add LI link');
importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Add LI menu');
addOnloadHook(afclinks);
function afclinks() {
if(document.title.indexOf("Editing Wikipedia:Articles for creation") == 0)
    {
        addlimenu(tabs, 'AFC actions', 'afc');
        var afc = document.getElementById('afc').getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
        addlilink(afc, 'javascript:afc("accept", "accept")', 'accept', '');
        addlilink(afc, 'javascript:afcmaybe()', 'defer', '');
        addlilink(afc, 'javascript:afc("decline", prompt("Reason from: \n exists, source, bio, web, corp, band, dict, cv, blank, adv, neo, lang, joke, not"))', 'decline', '');
        addlilink(afc, 'javascript:afc("decline", "reason")', 'decline with reason', '');
 }
}

and this to your Mypage/monobook.css:

.tabmenu ul { display: none; }
#afc ul li { border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; border-top: none; text-align: center; background: #F8FCFF;    background-color: #F8FCFF; padding: 0.2px; }
.tabmenu:hover ul { z-index: 2; display: block; position: relative; top: 2px; border-top: 1px solid #aaaaaa; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; background: #F8FCFF; background-color: #F8FCFF; }
.tabmenu:hover ul li {display:block}
.tabmenu a { padding: 0pt 0em !important; background: #F8FCFF; background-color: #F8FCFF;}
.tabmenu ul a:hover { font-weight: bold; }

That should work. Will (I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!) 15:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Graph toughness

You recently left a prod on graph toughness claiming that the subject was original research. The article as you prodded it contained a reference: Toughness in Graphs, Bauer, Broersma & Schmeichel which, if you had looked up, you would have discovered to be a survey citing 162 published research papers on the subject of graph toughness. It was not my stub (I had edited the article previously, but only to sort its stub category) and if it were mine I'd like to think I'd have left the subject's notability and sources a little more clearly stated (as I have now done) but I think you could have taken the courtesy to investigate the sources a little more carefully before leaving such prods. —David Eppstein 03:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Google provided under 10 hits. This tells me it was a new concept at best, barely touched on in the mathematical world. The paper you cited was providing a new theory, and it was quoting other research papers, who quite possibly didn't mention the concept themselves, but were a basis for the new theory. No, I did do my research. Part Deux 18:30, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It may have told you that it was a new concept, but if so that only means that you badly misinterpreted the search results, and your phrasing in present tense indicates to me that you still don't understand how mistaken your prod was. First, for a technical concept such as this, Google scholar or better MathSciNet would have been a more appropriate choice. Second, examination of the results should have told you that "graph toughness" was too specific a phrase — even the brief snippets shown by Google for your search more often use other permutations of those words. "Tough graph" instead would have given you 848 hits, most of them I think relevant. Third, you were given a good secondary source, but you still haven't convinced me that you actually looked at anything more than its title. If you had read the source, you would have discovered that many of the papers it cites are in fact about toughness, and that the concept was introduced in 1973, hardly new. —David Eppstein 23:56, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You prodded this article but didn't say why so I removed the tag. If you still think it should be deleted then please use the AfD. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 09:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if you can re-prod or not. You might want to ask at WP:PROD. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:40, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
