Reddi 2

Thank you for your proofreading. I did intend to vote for the remedies I proposed, but the possibility of putting forth alternative remedies for the committee's remains. Fred Bauder 14:38, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm getting fed up with it as well. Can we not get his talkpage protected..? -Zero^Talk 08:29, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm serious, but I don't always express in English that well

Hi, TML1988. I tried to be ironic. I just wanted to say something like "I confess, I'm the one who is a troll ;-)". But, yes, you're right. Neither the way it was expressed, nor the place to be ironic are definitely proper. Sorry --Ecemaml 07:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Hi, TML1988, hope you did/are doing well on your tests. I just noticed [1]...thank you for putting up the notice. I appreciate it. If you ever get an RfA, please let me know, and I'll vote for you (and unless I'm sadly mistaken, it won't be called soliciting for votes, using this message as proof). See you around!--ViolinGirl^♪ 00:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006

Thanks for catching that Mindspillage was a she; I must have mistyped it, or otherwise forgot. Thanks again, — Ian Manka Talk to me! 04:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Arbcom chart colors

Greetings. I replied at Template talk:ArbitrationCommitteeChart. Thanks for your comments. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 13:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your edit here :-) ... By the way, how did you come across my talk page? --HappyCamper 04:25, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Really? That was one of the last pages I would have thought someone would use to find me! Ah, I see there was a sockpuppet of me created on the 16th...wonder where that came from? Anyway, nice meeting you, and I'll see you around! --HappyCamper 04:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Gibraltarian

I'll just say. Oi vey. No idea how he got out of his usual range. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 05:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Good catch...

... on my missing parameter, didn't notice it took one. Obviously we need strong typing in wiki code! Alai 19:56, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

As you presented evidence in this case, this is a courtesy note to let yo know that it closed. I put a notice on WP:AN about the decision, or you can go for the full version at the link at the head of this section.

RE: hi!

Speaking of GNS, maybe you can contribute to the Great Neck South High School article. (Oahc)

Thanks

Hey, I always seem to edit conflict with you when I'm fixing an error on the arbcom open tasks, and see you around fixing typos and things for us, so, if no one has said so yet: thanks. :-) Dmcdevit·t 20:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Paul Vogel

Oklahoma admitted to being 216.45.251.197, so if one's Paul Vogel so is the other. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

"Gibraltarian"

Did you respond to the wrong persons talk page? 68.39.174.238 18:14, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Opps I totally forgot that... Anyway, I replaced the Communism vandal with him now. 68.39.174.238 18:52, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Wanted to mention that according to User:Gibnews, Gibraltarian was kicked off of the only ISP in Gibraltar. I was finally able to unprotect the 2 articles he had hit so much. Yay! Hopefully he'll stay away. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 10:51, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

The Facebook

Sure! That'd be great. Thanks. :) --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 10:51, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

disruption

I fail to understand the disruption. was it the nomination for deletion. Was it the reversion of vandalism to the nomination, was it the alleged 3 RR? Or was it the fact that I did the deletion on a template instead of all the article... considering this is my first multi-deletion nomination. And perhaps my second delete nomination? --CyclePat 04:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Please tell me because if there is still no citations on those articles they should probably be brough up each one individually. As per primary source information it may be a candidate for transwikifing to wikisource. --CyclePat 04:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for fixing up the block message on Dohfast1's talk and user pages. That was my first indef block on an editor, and having seen what you did to complete the process has given me valuable instruction, should the need arise again. Once again, thanks for your help. Regards, Hamster Sandwich 03:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Identical username

I found that another user, TMC1982, is a username nearly identical to yours. People might get confused between the two names. Just a little heads up, you don't have to do anything about it. --User:Carie 18:37, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Holland Tunnel fire

Kudos for altering this page to American spelling. When I wrote the page I was aware that I should use US dialect, but since I know so little about it I decided to write the entry in pure Brit and see how long it took to be changed.

The one objection I have is that you took out all the nonbreakable spaces when you edited it. I've put them back, so that's OK, but I've added this comment to your talk page to explain why (in the nicest possible way).

Nonbreakable spaces (in Wikipedia, &nbsp followed by a ;) soothe the inner typesetter among a significant fraction of us that contribute. They are are used to link a value (say "9:30") to its unit (say "a.m.") so that the printer or page formatter knows not to put the "9:30" at the end of one line and the "a.m." at the start of the next line. Not having them in can lead to the following, which looks a bit odd:

They relieved the works brigade and sent a "make pumps 9" alarm at 9:30
a.m.

It's a far, far better thing to put a nonbreakable space between the value (9:30) and its units (a.m.) and force the page parser to show:

They relieved the works brigade and sent a "make pumps 9" alarm at
9:30 a.m.

Hope that makes sense.

As an aside, one of the things I was really uncertain about on the Holland tunnel fire page was something that you didn't alter—what should I have called the weight of rubble they had to cart out? I wrote that it was 650 short tons, including the "short" because I didn't want it to be mistaken as a long ton. When you guys in the USA refer to "a ton", which do you mean: the short ton (2000 pounds) or the long ton (2240 pounds)? I'd be interested to know. Regards, Ecb 20:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

User:Greyghost1982

No disrespect, but what's your evidence for the sockpuppet tag? The guy is annoying, but the user constributions point rather to this being an egotistical 15-year-old named Phillip Graham. See the constant edits to April 15 (such as this and this), and his constantly deleted attempts to create an article about himself at Phillip Graham (now a redirect). --Calton | Talk 03:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts

I notice that you moved me back to the 5000+ category recently and just wanted to point out why I moved myself up. Firstly, I have almost a thousand deleted edits and I felt that they should count as well (after all, WP:NA is a count of activity more than anything else), and secondly, the point is now moot as I have over 7500 non-deleted edits. Thanks :) Stifle 12:01, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 26% for major edits and 41% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 03:30, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

List of Anti-Masons

Thanks for the protect. I just wanted to point out that I did take the discussion to the talk page, pointed out every debatable or flat-out wring (like JQA's death date as 1829), and User:WMMrgn did not bother to reply. His sources do not support his edits, and furthermore, it is very likely that he is a sock of User:Lightbringer/User:Basil Rathbone, who have been banned from editing Freemasonry-related articles by ArbCom. If and when somebody gets to the CheckUser, I believe the situation will be solved. MSJapan 04:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

removal of material from my talk page

Please do not do this again. If it were actual vandalism, that would be a different story; I'd be thanking you instead. The edit in question, however, was made by a somewhat irrational and incivil contributor, but not a vandal...nor was the edit vandalistic. Your actions, while perhaps well-intentioned, give credibility to his claims. Please review WP:DFTT, especially this section. Thanks for your vigilance, but please do not remove content from my userspace unless it contains vandalism or directed personal attacks. Incivility and stupidity do not qualify. Cheers, Tomer^talk 05:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Wow. Reviewing your contribs, I see that, in the context of the rest of your vandal-fighting efforts, your removal of Queeran's whining from my page is a lot less out-of-the-blue. I still think summarily erasing his comments, however, serve only, in his mind at the very least, to legitimize his claims. Anyways, keep up the good work with vandal fighting. Cheers, Tomer^talk 11:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
