Ivanova and Boarding School?

Um... What? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 03:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Ahh, Ok. Even for hardcore B5 fans, its hard to keep every single JMS post commited to memory! Good edit! --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 03:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

What?

What do you mean by trick? The Wookieepedian 05:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

That was no trick. After reading the extensive page on the R. Tam sessions (located at session416.com), I ran across a section citing an interview where Whedon explained that Universal had the idea for him to create the sessions. The Wookieepedian 15:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

ECON

Hi. The "of Nation" comes from the Memory Alpha article on the ECON (here) They must have gotten it from the movie. I don't have a copy or a transcript of it, so I can't double-check. But these guys are rarely wrong about Star Trek stuff ;) -- Ritchy 01:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Alright, fair enough. You've made a convincing case that the "of nations" part is false. Thanks for the research! -- Ritchy 02:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Sarajevo Civil War

Due to the nil existence of information regarding this particular topic, it is rather arduous for me to truly unearth unbiased information. I would imagine that many of the sources I chose for this particular article had a prodigious impact on my view--articles that could have very well been written by Bosniaks.

Yes, this particular ten-month battle was a mere facet of the Yugoslav Wars, although so were particular battles during the Revolutionary War which are also seen floating amid Wikipedia. And considering that a majority of Wikipedians seem to support inclusionism, this article consequently withholds veritble merit.

If a man such as Gene Ray is granted an article for himself as well as an article for his bogus, crackpot theory; I believe a ten-month war resulting in the peril of thousands can also be included.

Also, I withhold no personal connections with anyone throughout the Serbian nor Bosnian regions--thus meaning that any true bias would serve to be rather fruitless. Place it up for discussion if it truly makes you indignant or displeased.Nalco 07:22, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

To be quite frank, I completely overlooked the fact that such an article existed--I believed that much of the information was lumped into the Yugoslav Wars article. Now that I have been introduced to that article, I very well can merge some of the information in.

I apologize for the misunderstanding, and thank you for introducing me to that article. I was rather befuddled as to why no information regarding much of the seige subsisted--that explains it.Nalco 21:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

K. J. Lopez

Thanks for writing. I have no problem with whatever date is on the page, as long as it's verifiable. Is the graduation date verifiable? If so, that would give a general sense of when her birth year is, but we shouldn't take a guess. Eleemosynary 03:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Good work. It does indeed confirm the grad year. So, we there's a reasonable guess at a birth year, but it should be tempered by "perhaps," or "probably" in the bio line to be sure.

Eleemosynary 04:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

"Probably" works well. (I think it actually used to be there.) Until we can confirm, it would make sense. Eleemosynary 21:17, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

John Smith

Awesome, thanks very much!Madmatt52 14:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Spencer Ackerman

Thanks for the kind words, Makgraf. Yes I think an article about him would be a good idea. I encourage you to be bold and create it if you're so inclined. Crust 15:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Excellent. I see you've made a nice start on the article. I added a couple of external links. Crust 14:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Restoring Talk Page Edits

Please mind your own business in the future and cease restoring edits. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.90.151.114 (talk) 09:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

ENOUGH! You don't own Wikipedia, so quit bothering me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.151.114 (talk)

Why are you doing this? Are you some sort of sadist or troll? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.151.114 (talk)

I should probably clarify what's happening here for people who happen to look at my talk page. I was restoring previous warnings on an IP talk page as an admin had done. Makgraf 18:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

You are harassing me and annoying me. Stop it or else! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.90.151.114 (talk) 04:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC).

Or else what? It's an especially bizzare comment because posting that comment on my talk page was the last edit I made until now. Makgraf 04:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Jewish personalities

please re-check your source on josh meyers. you cited a painter with the same name as the Madtv actor. Please do some research before adding your category and provide a real course Rugsnotbombs 21:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

his brother could be a convert for all i know, and in no way proves he is. you still need a source for him Rugsnotbombs 03:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Jonah Goldberg

Pursuant to this, could you please also watchlist Lucianne Goldberg? The same vandal is persistently making the same claims about Lyndon Johnson being Jonah's father on that article as well, and the first time they did so it didn't get reverted for four days. Incidentally, the same person has also previously been involved in persistent attack edits against Canadian politicians Cheri DiNovo, Michael Prue and Frances Lankin. Bearcat 07:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Kaus

I'll look for it, it's on his blog, a little more than one or two weeks before the election, feel free to remove the claim until I can cite it. --69.249.195.232 16:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

I was aiming for brevity, but I apologize if my comment came across that way. I'll practice a more genial tone next time I encourage editors involved in AfD discussions to present well-rounded arguments. I've seen quite a few AfD discussion that were straightforward voting processes. Happy editing! —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 22:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Ezra Klein

An editor has nominated Ezra Klein, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ezra Klein and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
