My edit edit

I noticed that you sent me a message about my edit. I wasn't just messing around with the page for testing-I was making a correction to what information was there. Or rather, I was deleting incorrect information-what I assume was someone's idea of a prank to send people on a wild goose chase.

The information I deleted isn't in the current wikipedia entry so I'm guessing that what I deleted wasn't actually put back. All in all I'm just confused why I was sent this message. I do have an account here but I don't always log in.

hey. edit

thank you for your support on the Lost Experience talk page. But, don't you think a vote might be premature at this time? dposse 16:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the correction. I love how one letter can change entire words. I'm not the best speller, but I'm glad people can still get the meaning. Hey, it looks like you are from KC! I'm a Chiefs fan... I'm goin to add that rectangle to my side if that's all right with you. cheers!--Moonraker0022 05:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Three against two that the Lostpedia link should stay. dposse 03:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)Reply


I tried to make a note on the drive in page, and I couldn't get it into the right format. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm sorry I didn't put it in correctly. Davidac18643 03:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your failure to recognize personal attacks edit

I regret that we disagree on this (the comments on Talk:Lost Experience). The energy that you're spending worrying about me "editing" someone's comments (when I strike through an obvious personal attack) should be going into stopping people from issuing personal attacks. I'll continue to fight against people who attack others and who refuse to remove those attacks or tone them down. Again, sorry you don't see things the same way, but I'll live with that. If you feel so strongly, take it to WP:ANI. -- PKtm 05:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I find your response on the Lost Experience page to be extremely rude. Please point me to the "rule" you cite against doing strikethroughs or anything that equates that to "editing" someone's remarks; I don't believe you can. You may want to consult WP:RPA. But you say you're done talking, so simple calm logic probably isn't applicable here. Again, I regret that you don't see that your remarks amount to a spirited defense of Dposse's personal attack, where instead you should be telling Dposse to just change the silly text. Much as it was rude of you to say, have to agree with your closing sentence, with respect to your own stance: "If it hasn't gotten across to you yet, I don't think any amount of talk will." -- PKtm 18:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Note: Further trollish comments from this user have been removed, and will continue to be removed. I am always open to intelligent conversation, but I do not have time for stuff like this. --Reverend Loki 16:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey there, Reverend: I tried a bit to find that Talk:Lost_Experience discussion, but I guess it's been moved. I see from the comments above that you've had some unpleasantness. You're not the only one who's had such negative experiences. I hope the center of mass pulls the overall personal interactions up, rather than down. I'm doing my best in that regard, as I see you are too. I usually manage to keep from sinking, despite powerful temptation to meet dirt with more dirt. People are watching though, and the server remembers. Good day, Loki, from Loqi. --Loqi T. 19:18, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

ktip images edit

Hey, just wanted to let you know that Image:Crystal Clear Ktip.png has been replaced by Image:Crystal Clear app ktip.png and you will probably want to update your pages/templates. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 23:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject_Kansas City edit

You still interested in doing such a thing? Never heard back from you after the initial note... -- nae'blis 17:15, 22 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well, I bit the bullet and did it... see blue link above! -- nae'blis 18:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Waynestreet (talk · contribs) edit

You should probably report this on WP:SSP if you suspect sockpuppetry. I left a test2 warning on the vandal's talk page. --Coredesat 18:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Quotation marks, commas and periods edit

Thank you, you've inspired me to track down the Wikipedia style rules on handling quotation marks. I think having the rules fuse the different regions is kind of a mishmash, but I'll internalize them. --Boradis 01:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Kansas edit

Yes, you are correct.--eskimospy(talk) 23:05, 14 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows edit

You don't need to readd the information on the release date. It is already in the article. – PeaceNT 17:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Kansas City Chiefs "Typo" edit

Yeah, I don't know who wrote that, but I didn't think it was worthy of having any attention brought to it. I figured calling it a "typo" would diminish the value of whatever intention the criminal writer had in posting it. I just didn't think it was that important to get worked up over. Frank12 20:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate it edit

I was going down my watchlist of presidential pages, and I think I just hit the "save page" button one too many times. Thanks for fixing it.K. Scott Bailey 22:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Love it edit

Surprised I haven't seen your login before (since your welcome message is 2005). Just wanted to say "nice handle." — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 16:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC) \Reply

Re HPDH edit

Well, I felt bold and removed that section. For me it violated the talk page header

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows article. This is not a forum for general discussion about the article's subject.

Removing sections on talk pages that do not contribute to discussing improvements on the article per se is commonly done on other talk pages (eg. Spider Man 3, An Inconvenient Truth). And the link you gave is a guideline, not a policy. And the link refers to editing comments, not removing them per se. And it doesn't tackle what I did (about unrelated comments on talk pages). But I won't push it further because I don't feel an admin is needed. It's a small issue. Good day. Berserkerz Crit 02:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Someone else other than me thought the same that the discussion isn't fit for the talk page. The discussion about Horcruxes have been removed again. Thought you might want to know. ;) Berserkerz Crit 07:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Bartle Hall edit

No it wasn't that song. They played at Arrowhead Stadium in the late 90s and then they loved the spires of Bartle Hall they stuck around and filmed a music video on them. They had to shut down the highway. I can't remember the song title though... it was i guess one that was new in the mid to late 90s. Moonraker0022 (talk) 05:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

List of active drive-in theaters edit

I'm trying to hold off a brewing revert war concerning two rival unofficial web sits devoted to the US 23 Twin Drive-in Theatre in Flint MI. One is affiliated with www.drive-ins.com and can use that web site's database for instant updates. The other does it from scratch so it may take a day or two for show revisions to take effect. How would you format the drive-in listings to deal with more than one URLs? Another issue is with reverting the www.drive-ins.com affiliated web site which is for the Miracle Twin Drive-in Theatre in Burton MI. While National Amusements does have an official web page, it does NOT indicate which movies are playing on which screen. The drive-ins.com based web site does that.
