Commenting out

Hi there, I appreciate your fixing of something I should have spotted myself. However, are you aware of the "nowiki" tag that allows literal text to be shown? (See Nowiki#Just_show_what_I_typed). Fourohfour 14:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. That was something I considered doing at the time (it certainly would have been easier, both for myself, and in the case that anyone decided to re-add it with sources in future when the previous version was too deeply buried in the history), yet in the end I ended up going the commenting out route, because to my eyes at least, the nowiki version looked quite unwieldy on the eye. If you'd prefer, it wouldn't be too much of a problem for me to change it to the nowiki mention. :) --Dreaded Walrus 18:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

David Rabern

I may have missed something here, but I removed the speedy from this article. He looks very notable and encyclopedic to me. Take it to AfD if you aren't convinced, or tell me if I have missed something obvious. If you reply here, please notify me on my talk page. J Milburn 13:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Batman2005

Reading his discussion page, it is filled with people accusing him of insults, and ad hominem attacks. As well as (from the little i looked) one person accusing him of hiding behind an IP adress to disguise his identity. Seems familiar.

Maybe, but until we have proof, it is not disastrous, as he is not using it to pretend that it is an entirely different person in cases where it would matter, such as deletion debates. Until then, accusing people (especially established users such as Batman2005) of things can cause needless disruptions to what we are all really here to do: Improve Wikipedia. --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 08:42, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I did archive the comments, Batman2005 remove the archive and said that was against the rules, guess not. DO you have a link to the rule where it says that's allowed.Drsmoo 16:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

The Chelsea wins issue

Thanks for your messages on my talk page and the error report- I knew I was right, I just wasn't sure why. I knew I would say 'Chelsea win', but also knew that it should say 'Chelsea Football Club wins'. J Milburn 21:41, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

And, yes, I just put them the wrong way around. Corrected now. Gah. J Milburn 21:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem at all. I wasn't certain whether I should chip in on another user's talk page, I always feel a bit of an intruder doing that, but I just figured I'd offer my take on things (whether it was a well-founded take or not). I'm glad I could be of help. :) --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 21:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, this is quite a bizarre and rare coincidence. I see from your userpage that you live in Ireleth. I grew up most of my secondary school years living in Askam (I went to Dowdales), up the housing estate. Also, in secondary school, for my work experience, I did a placement at Ireleth St. Peter's school. I no longer live in Askam, having moved to Barrow when I was 16 years old, and I still live there now (5 years on). --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 22:16, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

John B Keane

Hi Walrus, why did you revert my changes to Keane dude? I think I have a valid point in keeping names of people called Keane from that page, if we have one then we have to have them all and that would be messy and make the Keane (surname) article redundant, Roy should be the only exception to the rule.Murphy Inc 23:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I agree entirely. I saw Roy's name there, and didn't notice that there was a separate disambig page for surnames. I meant to revert myself, but forgot. Sorry! I have reverted myself, just now. :) --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 00:06, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Cheers dude, I am sure it won't be long before Fluence has changed it all around anyway!! ;-)Murphy Inc 00:30, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Typo

Its a Wonderful Life - Cheers dude, don't mind your edit at all, speeling has never been my stronpint Murphy Inc 06:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Haha, no problem. :) --Dreaded Walrus ^{t c} 12:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
