Thanks for clarifying the humorous nature of your comment. It occurred to me afterward that it might have been meant in jest, and I appreciate you confirming that. In that light, it was actually quite funny! So, again, welcome! Unimaginative Username (talk) 06:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Berman[edit]

Did you read Shamrox's version of the article? For the most part the sources were not themselves the problem, but that his edits were highly POV and effectively turned the article into a hit piece in pretty clear violation of WP:BLP. I'm going to revert it back for now and leave a note on his page explaining this better. Thanks. Ten Thousand Bullets (talk) 19:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree his estrangement from his son is encyclopedic, although one of his links regarding that was a primary source, to a message board. His edits to the lead section consisted of citing multiple critics' nicknames for him. Maybe some of that belongs, but not the way it was written. Looked to me like vandalism, so I went the revert route. But I've just left a message on his talk page to start a dialogue about it. Ten Thousand Bullets (talk) 19:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

January 2009[edit]

Hello. Before making potentially controversial edits, such as those you made to HP (disambiguation), it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Are you even aware of what WP:CONSENSUS is? It was decided that we would stick to the letter of MOS:DAB#Linking to a primary topic, regardless of the primary topics being redirects. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Correction: WP:CONSENSUS is an official policy on Wikipedia. However, it can change. You just have to initiate a new thread on Talk:HP (disambiguation) and see if the majority will agree with your proposal. I'm only making a "big deal" about it because of the agreements at horsepower and Primary topics. Nothing more, nothing less. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's fine. ;) Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: FIRExNECK[edit]

I am sorry, I don't know how you got dragged into this. Considering the scope of the edits made by FIRExNECK I considered my response to be very civil. Calling a rival club "Douchebags" and insinuating that the fans have ties to racist organizations (without substantiation), does not in any way sound like good faith edits. I did not report FIRExNECK, I undid the edits and I posted to his talk page asking that he use his time making constructive edits. I don't know how this could have been construed as uncivil. I do not plan on making any more of an issue over this, but I think it is the communities responsibility to protect itself from people who continue to deface others work, and that is what I did.

Re: Rrs-studio[edit]

I speak Spanish, using Google language tools gives"RRS-study Research Group Architectural and design. Founded in 2006 by Riccardo Renzi is formed by Michael Mosconi, Stefania Bracci, Niccolo 'CURRIN, Sara Braschi in addition to the collaborations that have seen over time join the group even Margherita Caldi Inchingolo, Georgina Monica Lalli, Eva Maria De Marco and to Today, Cinzia Cossu and Federica Decurtis. The group concentrates its research in urban and man-made environment." I saw no notability in the article. ttonyb1 (talk) 19:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Biting newcomers[edit]

I hope you're taking the comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/330th Bombardment Group about WP:Bite to heart. It seems you forgot your own note to self:

"Don't delete articles unless they're pure vandalism. Don't even think about it! Someone *will* attempt to prove wrong any point you try to make, and they can be right about it."

It would be ok if you constructively engaged this editor if you didn't want to apologize to him. Toddst1 (talk) 17:56, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maltese (dog)[edit]

You can go over every single change at the history section of the article. One of those changes would be *http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maltese_(dog)&diff=prev&oldid=267991313

There you can find out much on the content dispute.

It was narrowed up to these points:

  1. Whether or not to mention the fact that Mljet is in today's Croatia
  2. Whether or not to mention one of the Croatian names for the dog (French name included in the infobox)
  3. Whether or not to mention the fact established by La Fédération Cynologique Internationale which says: "His name does not signify that he originates from the island of Malta" as the first sentence of the dog's standard.
  4. Whether or not to include Bochart, in his "Hierozoicon," also quotes Callimachus to be correct.
  5. Whether or not to include this sentence "During the first century, Publius, the Roman governor of Malta, had a Maltese named Issa of which he was very fond." just after the completely POV sentence "Maltese are generally associated with the island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea" thus injustly strengthening the claim of the POV sentence.
  6. Whether or not to include in the history section the entire Publius/Martial poetry, or perhaps in the trivia section.

I belive that it would be biased to mention Italy, Spain, Lyons, Malta and some other countries which have less to do with the dog and not to mention Mljet in the context of Dalmatia and Croatia.

Pietru il-Boqli is full of accusations and disruptive, he offended Tool2Die4. Pietru il-Boqli started his negative approach by name calling, like East European, Croatian, Yugoslav, Italian. He is the only one who sees my editing as problematic.

I cannot stress enought that Pietru il-Boqli deleted sourced information with his POV editing and that the diff [1] shows only his intervention.

Also I would like to mention that Tool2Die4 (also edited the article) stopped reverting my editing when I provided explanation of my editing on his talk page. Then Pietru il-Boqli offended him.

And finally, before I started editing the Maltese (dog) article it was completely Malta biased version which Pietru il-Boqli and some other editors (Tool2Die4 including) maintained.


Imbris (talk) 00:17, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The fact user Tool2Die4 has been blocked (indefinitely) for destructive editing, and you Imbris have begun your nationalistically motivated edits once again (one has only to check your talk page/user history for ample examples), render most of what you've written utterly laughable. You seem to think there's a Wiki conspiracy keeping your unblemished edits from seeing the light of day: reality check. This article (woof woof) demonstrated no such nationalistic blemishes till you arrived on the scene. Reverting the article to its pristine state might be better than preserving such fallacious contributions after all. את אמא כל כך שמנה, היא יושבת ליד כולם (talk) 14:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do not bring your complaints and rivalry onto my talk page. Doing so will result in absolute destruction. Elm-39 - T/C 14:03, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Scary. את אמא כל כך שמנה, היא יושבת ליד כולם (talk) 16:30, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why insisting on reverting?[edit]

I do not see any reason for reverting the article before both Pietru il-Boqli and myself started editing the article. I belive that, quoting you: "Darn, that would have been fun...", fun has nothing to do with it. Every sentence I brought into the article is sourced (though some sources have been deleted by Pietru il-Boqli).

By reverting the article to the point before Pietru il-Boqli and myself started editing the article would be less neutral than ever in its history. Previously reached agreements would be denied, like Talk:Maltese_(dog)#History.2FOrigins.

Deletion would bring nothing, I suggest that we contact the appropriate Wikiproject first.

Contrary to Pietru il-Boqli's position that "This article (woof woof) demonstrated no such nationalistic blemishes till you arrived on the scene" I must conclude that the article portrayed a nationalist Malta's POV which has been seen through by editors such as Gordon and La Fédération Cynologique Internationale. This revert will deeply worsen the quality of the article as it is today.

Imbris (talk) 22:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quit posting on my talk page. This is not the article for the Maltese dog. Elm-39 - T/C 13:15, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bologa[edit]

Hi. Some time ago it was decided (as part of the Romanian Wikiproject) to merge all the articles concerning the villages to the communes they belong to. Have a look here: Wikipedia:Romanian_Wikipedians'_notice_board/Archive10#Villages. I fully agree with the policy, since 1) the villages are just informal subdivisions of a commune, and 2) most of village articles would be stubs forever. I do admit that some villages are worth having their own articles, but in order to keep it consistent, I don't see anything wrong with describing a village within the article for its parent commune.

Re: Dance Dance Revolution[edit]

Re: Meeting with Booth[edit]

Hello Elm 39!

I tried to point out that there is an inconsistency or incompleteness between the article of Samuel Mudd and teh article of Lewis Powell. In the article of Lewis Powell, LP is one of four men who meet in Washington 23 Dec 1864. In the article of Samuel Mudd, Lewis powell is not mentioned. Instead Louis J Weichmann is accounted for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.218.24.79 (talk) 13:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]


FYI

I have Googled and found reason to believe that the accounts for the meeting in teh artcle Samuel Mudd is correct.

TTherefore I put this message on the article of Lewis Powell.

"In most other accounts for a meeting 23 December between Booth, Mudd and Surrat, the fourt man were Louis J Weichman. See also Wikipedia article Samuel Mudd" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.218.24.79 (talk) 14:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your WP:AIV report[edit]

Hi. I understand that the anonymous IP User:164.58.69.2 may be deleting old messages, but pursuant to WP:UP#CMT, they are allowed to remove old comments (it only means that they read the warning). Your continued reversion of such comments (and starting a reversion war, as indicated by the talk page history is technically a violation of the Three-revert rule, which could result in blockage. It's not necessary to keep those warnings up (they're always available in the history), and it may mean that the IP has been given to another user who will act in good faith. Cheers, and happy editing. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez Get to know me! / Talk to me!←at≈:→ 19:06, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly note regarding talk page messages[edit]

Hello. As a recent editor to User talk:164.58.69.2, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages or warnings from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). These exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 19:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of gameboy advance colors[edit]

Thanks for merging the article. Just one thing on merging articles that you must include in the edit summary that you merged the content. For example, on the destination page, you could write merged content from List of gameboy advance colors. See [[(discussion of merger)]]; and on the source page, you could write redirected to Game Boy Advance due to merge. See [[(discussion of merger)]] (which you did there for the most part). Listing in the edit summary is required to conform with §4(I) of the GFDL.

I also went ahead and did a non-admin closure of the AFD. Thank you, MuZemike 16:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Super Robot Taisen. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content.

SRW[edit]

It is more common due to the fact that it was imported way before the first English translation took place and most gamers would have already played the game before the English title.Per wiki's naming convention, we use the most common name. A simple google search returned 772000 results for "Super Robot Wars" and only 497000 for "Super Robot Taisen", thus SRW was used. It is the original intended English name from the creators anyway.(On every game release in Japan) —Preceding signed comment added by MythSearchertalk 16:34, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
