2000 vs. 2004 elections.

Responding to your plans to compact the 2000 election article . . .

Frankly? I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't think that that's possible. Just as an article on World War II is necessarily going to be longer than one on the Spanish-American War, some elections merit longer articles than others. Now, I'll be the first to say that what is in there now is excessive by many degrees. But there is no way that an election that followed the sequence of events that we had in 2000 is going to be compacted to the same length as 2004. It's just not realistic.

Admiral Freebee

You considered the article about Admiral Freebee for deletion. The fact that he might not be well known outside a number of countries is of course nonsense if you use that as a reason to delete the article. If you're only interested in information you already know about you should build a website of your own instead of contributing / monitoring an encyclopedia. MB 18:00, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proof has been added to the AfD. MB 18:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Guess I will have to get used to certain (imho disputable) guidelines. Any hard comments were more directed at the guidelines than to you. Anyway, thanks for changing your vote. In all honesty I have to admit that in the end the AfD has contributed to the quality of the article. MB 22:51, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me revert the RFC - they are trying to blank the page--God of War 20:36, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Killers

The Killers are a one-hit wonder right now in the US sadly, showing how music has sunken these past years. Only "Mr. Brightside" made the Top 40 in the US; "Sombody Told Me" only reached #51, "All These Things I Have Done" only reached #74, and other releases like "Smile Like You Mean It" didn't even make the Top 100.

George W Bush

Looks like there have been few complaints about your editing there, so if you felt like doing more, don't let my high handedness bugger you out. I completely agree that the article was too long...just try to surmise as best you can a section, citing both sides as applicable before sending the rest to a daughter article...happy editing!--MONGO 12:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Legal and Scientology

Let me enlighten you, CastAStone and thank you for your earlier communication on my talk page. Scientology has gotten involved in a number of legal issues. A few are about freedom of religion. Others are about copyrights. Still others are about human rights. While it would probably be accurate to say the Church of Scientology will not rest until every government on earth recognizes it as a religion, that is not the only legal activity it is involved in. At first its legal actions were reactions to forces against it. In more recent times it has initiated legal issue. The church has a legal arm which handles all of those kinds of actions, members who study and staff members who run various churches are doing what they do because there is a legal arm. That the legal arm is expert makes all the rest of what happens possible. Terryeo 04:28, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RFC/KM

Thanks for leaving me a note. Regrettably I was not here to receive it, but I don't think there is much more to said on the RfC. Sandpiper 20:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding a trademarked citation by ChrisO

Hi CastAStone. Would you do me a favor please? have a look at this page, just across from the Dianetics bookcover picture and see the cite which User:ChrisO has put there. It is a Scientology Confidential (trademarked) source that he cites. Such a source of information is not available to people, indeed, to very few people. It may or may not be something to legally worry about, but it is certainly not something most of us could view. If you feel it appropriate, would you then message him on his talk page about its appropriateness? The reason I ask you to do this, if 2 persons message him about its inappropriateness then a "Request for Comment" can be done. I have battered my gums to him quite a lot, his reaction is to edit the guidelines page I reference when I tell him it is not appropriate. Thanks Terryeo 22:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By stating that the citation refers to confidential material (which is available on Internet with little effort by the way), you confirm it is actually accurate. There is nothing wrong with reporting facts, we are not talking about homeland security here, it's about "religious scripture". Raymond Hill 03:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CFNY

your edit to the CFNY-FM page...WTF? I'm not going to revert and report it right now because i trust you had something constructive to do there, but i cant tell what it was...--CastAStone|^(talk) 23:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the deletion, it was unintentional. It must have happened by accident when I was adding the Brampton, Ontario category. -- user:zanimum

San Francisco, California

You recently removed this text *Lombard street is famously known as the "crookedest street in San Francisco." However, a more crooked street is Vermont between 20th and 22nd on the south side of Potrero Hill. but didn't make an edit comment as to your rationale for doing so. I'm curious. Why did you remove it?--Paul 22:18, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what streets are "crooked", whether crroked is taken to mean not straight or taken to mean indecent, is POV and therefore not encyclopedic. I meant to leave that as an edit comment, it must have slipped my mind, apologies.--CastAStone|(talk) 22:52, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it would be helpful to read this: Lombard Street (San Francisco). Lombard is famously (it even has its own wikipedia article) known as a crooked (not straight) street because of the tight angle of its turns. Probably, it is not America's crookedest street, but it is certainly quite crooked for San Francisco. By the same metric (angle of turns), Vermont Street is—in fact—crookeder. Still think it should be removed from the article? --Paul 23:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
