Welcome to my talk page! I generally keep my replies wherever the discussion was started, so if you post here, I'll reply here. Thanks.
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. For ideas of what to put on your user page, see Wikipedia:User page.
If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Two useful tips are that you can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) and you can preview your changes before you save using the show preview button. You can regularly find new tips on the Community Portal. I look forward to reading your great articles and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Angela. 03:17, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC)
Ann Glenday
editHi, welcome. I deleted Ann Glenday because it came from Wikisource. That's why things are in Wikisource, because they're source text that doesn't belong here. RickK 23:18, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)
House committees vandal
editWhat the hell was that guy? I feel like the Tasmanian devil just burst through the wall, whirled around, and left again. Anyway, thanks for the help, I appreciated it. Best, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:33, 2004 Aug 10 (UTC)
Old Users
editNote that one or two occasional users who have been here a very long time have user pages in the main encyclopaedia namespace. This is because (a) it was the only namespace at the time, so we all had to do it; (b) this was before there was a policy deprecating it -- in fact this was before there was any policy apart from the NPOV one; and (c) because they are occasional users, they have not kept abreast of the development of the wiki. While it is worth pointing out that user pages in the encyclopaedia namespace are a bad thing to new users, there is little use in doing so for old users. It's better just to move them to the user namespace and delete the redirect. -- Derek Ross | Talk
Alva Belmont made important changes to Belcourt.Thegreenemonster 15:12, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
It's fact. Read your history.Thegreenemonster 16:01, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
You're right
editWell, thank you<g>. How often does one get to hear that!? You've made my day. I suspect Mr. Greene can be trained to recognize what's objectionable...though perhaps I still may be wrong and right in the same day. But I'll try to help. I think his punctuation problems may be harder to fix! - Nunh-huh 16:13, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
There has been a renewed interest in Alva Belmont because she is an important figure in the history of women's suffrage in America. Many books and architectural reviews, beginning around 1900, describe Belcourt's exterior and interior in much less glowing terms. A possible explanation for Belcourt's wildly eccentric design could be Oliver's heavy use of absinthe, Oliver's and Alva's alcoholism and opium addiction, and the marital discord between Oliver and Alva. Great historical figures should be seen warts and all.Thegreenemonster 19:19, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Dubai International Airport
editHi, I have a question that maybe you can answer. I was reading Dubai International Airport and was confused by the sentence directly before your last edit. I realize you didn't word that sentence, but I'm hoping you understand it well enough to re-word it. That sentence talks about a plane being "shot down by an American naval vessel on its second leg." Second leg? Whose - the plane or the ship? Is that info important enough to keep or can we just get rid of the confusing "on its second leg?" I know you didn't write it, but is there any chance you can clarify that sentence? Thank you. :-) SWAdair | Talk 03:41, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Political Party Strength
editHey, thank you so much for fixing my table in Political Party Strength in U.S. States. It looks much better now. Maybe you can do something with the regional breakdown that I added there. Acsenray 18:26, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I can't remember whether I responded to your note. I think the idea of using maps is a good one. Unfortunately, those maps don't look so great when they're scaled down (mostly because of the state names). I wonder if there are any others around.
European Union Olympic medals count for 2004
editHi there,
I wonder would you consider reversing your decision to delete this article. I have substantially rewritten it. A united EU team is not going to happen. I've discussed potential EU co-operation towards the olympics, and kept the table. I believe the table is valid, for us Europeans/EUians to see how the area has fared as a whole. Please comment on my talk page if you still feel the article should be deleted.
Image in signature
editHi. I want to ask you to remove the image from your signature. It detracts from the content of the messages you write (although just a bit), and wastes valuable server and network resources. I don't object to people adding some character to their signature, but feel that using inline images is too heavy. — David Remahl 19:27, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
You removed my paragraph based entirely on one thread. Incorrect. It was to do two things: State the fact that it has been 90 days since There, Inc. stated they would provide no more patches, and they have in fact provided patches. It was also to displease the vandal who kept putting that paragraph about it dieing into the page. Would work much better, I think. --TIB (talk) 03:17, Aug 21, 2004 (UTC)
Image:Terry.gif
editThanks for uploading Image:Terry.gif. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 03:47, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)

Speedy deletions
editHello! I recently noticed you tried to tag a page for speedy deletion. Please note that the proper templates are {{d}} (short for {{delete}}) or {{db}} short for {{deletebecause}}. the "db" template allows you to add a reason after. thanks for helping and happy editting!

Image Tagging for Image:Bulldog.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Bulldog.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

==User:EnthusiastFRANCE==
editHi bro! You're from the "Counter-Vandalism Unit" right? I'm from the "Anti-Asshole Elit Squad". And do you know what? I've just received an email from this EnthusiastFRANCE, he was mad and told me that he wanted to fuck you in the ass. I don't know what he meant by that, but er... I guess you'll better watch your back. Now the guy just want to put his bat right into your tight asshole. And on top of that he wanted me to tell you "cheers bastard!". SamuelReichmann 07:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- Are you a sockpuppet or something? Supadawg - [[User_talk:Supadawg|Talk]] 01:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Doubtfull, because User:enthusiastFRANCE couldn't hold a coherent sentence together for that long. It must be someone mocking/impersonating him. Of course, you could check his IP to see which country it's from... it could be a friend of his, with better English language skills perhaps? -Aknorals 01:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Aren't logged-in users anonymous? I'd love to do a WHOIS on this guy, as his grasp of pejorative English slang is second to none. Supadawg - [[User_talk:Supadawg|Talk]] 02:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Even to admins? I doubt it.. oh, here's another dude who may be a sockpuppet/copycat/etc: User:193.109.91.134 over he heresays that he is the same person. There is also a lot of users that appear to be sockpupets. I had to semiprotect berserk (manga) and the talk page, as well as my own talk page, though it apperars he has an account old enough to edit in those pages: user:hackmoral, which I guess is some spoof of my name that I'm supposed to find offensive. Only I'm not. Here is his edit history, though it appers he's banned now. -Aknorals 11:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- While I'm not sure that the users you named are indeed sockpuppets, I noticed you've edited or removed many of their comments. This is interesting, because it is precisely what User:EnthusiastFRANCE got in trouble for in the first place. It's not a good idea, as it makes your talk page hard to follow, since you removed the comments you were replying to. I removed the strikethrough you had in Talk:Berserk (manga), since the person who made the comment didn't put it there. Also, since you're not an admin, I don't believe you are able to semi-protect pages. Otherwise, you seem like a very good editor. Supadawg - [[User_talk:Supadawg|Talk]] 22:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comments? If by that, you mean "personal attacks", then yes, I did remove them. I figured it would be a good idea, consitering an admin had just done the same, and at first I didn't know enthusiastFRANCE was banned at the time (of the berserk talk page attack), so I assumed that it was someone else trying to impersonate him and ruin his... um... "good reputation". I think it's rather obvious that those users are the sockpuppets of the same sockpuppet master, consitering one of them restored comments removed by an admin, and then edited them! As for removing comments on my talk page: this really doesn't make things unclear at all: you can check an old version if you want, and besides, its a personal attack: why leave it there? Why let him sully Wikipedia just because he has a bone to pick with someone? and no, i'm not an admin, but when he noticed the semiprotect label on the top of the pages, he focused his attention on other pages: an obvious sign he had been fooled. Mostly the reversions/strikethroughs were for one reason: sending a clear message that Wikipedia will not allow his "War" that he declared well before he was banned to happen. His word then:
- "Don't be affraid that i will leave as soon as i have decided to leave. Although, using different names and ano proxies i'll be back whenever i want there's no way you can prevent me to edit wikipedia. so would you stop boring me with your meaningless dictature, and go working on articles or wherever you want, instead of making me waste my time and filling my own talk page with useless unsollicited talk? Thanks. EnthusiastFRANCE 22:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)"
- ... an early warning sign, I'd say. And removing personal attacks from sockpuppets is quite different from removing true ongoing discussions and one of the things he really got really got in trouble for: removing warnings from real admins. Thanks for listening, have a nice day! :D -Aknorals 09:36, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- Quoting from Wikipedia:Remove personal attacks, "[This guideline] should, at most, be interpreted strictly and used sparingly." Also, admins are not gods, though they must be treated with respect. They are not always right. Thinking that someone is an impersonator is fine, but editing other users' comments yourself, except to revert, is misleading. Why didn't you just say on the talk page that the above comment had been edited? As for "sullying Wikipedia", I would remind you that Wikipedia talk pages aren't supposed to be perfect. Do you plan to go around and blot out every ugly spot, every edit war? These too sully Wikipedia. Covering up something does not make it go away, and talk pages are full of things that I'm sure you'd like to blot out. It is highly unreasonable to expect editors to crawl through a history page, looking for evidence of abuse by a particular editor or group of editors, especially if they don't know the abuse ever took place. If you want to post like an admin, become an admin, although I don't think your recent impersonation of one will reflect kindly on you in the approval process. I highly recommend that you never do something like that again, as it screws everything up, and could be considered abuse. Real admins might think the page is already protected, and what happens if everyone goes around posting admin templates to "scare" vandals? Wikipedia will fill up with useless crap! If you really want to ward off vandals, follow the process, just like everyone else. Try posting on WP:ANI. You are not above the rules.

- That's just humourus talk on a page about a comedy genius where I come from but I deleted it after he whined about it. This shows a lack of understanding of the topic - I don't "talk" in that manner where it is not in context.

Look Buddy
editI do not appreciate getting a warning from you about vandalism when I have commited no such thing. The person responsible for the changes made under the Vanilla Ice section does not even share the same IP adress as me. Thus I demand nothing less than a sincere apology form you before I am forced to take serious actions. --70.129.55.17 02:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- I am confused. I've checked your talk page, as well as my contributions, and cannot find where I posted on your talk page. I do, however, regularly post to vandals' talk pages, so it is conceivable that I posted on yours. I don't see the need for an apology, as most IPs are dynamically assigned to Internet users, so whatever vandalism was committed was probably perpetrated by the last person to use your IP address. Your talk page is currently blank, with no history, so I'm at a loss as to how you even saw a comment from me. However, I don't fear any "serious actions" from you. Could you please elaborate? In the meantime, I recommend getting an account. Supadawg - [[User_talk:Supadawg|Talk]] 02:38, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your advice about getting an account. I will take it under serious consideration. I accept your apology and am glad that we could resolve this like two human beings. As I always say live and let die, so I will gladly bury the hatchet.--70.129.55.17 02:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Return from Good friend100
editSorry If I am POV but can you state what I wrote that was POV? thanks. Good friend100 00:15, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- For example, you change the non-POV statement "need of strong leadership" to the very slanted statement "the officers and captains were terrible leaders" here. This edit doesn't need much explanation: you simply inserted adjectives to make a neutral article biased, such as "pathetic" and "awesome", and you inserted this paragraph: "The shocking defeat of over 300 Japanese ships against only 13 Korean battleships enraged Hideyoshi. Today, the Battle of Myeongnyang is celebrated by Koreans and considered one of Admiral Yi's most brilliantly devised battle and one of the greatest battles during the war." There are also numerous changes that subtly influence the tone of the article, as shown in Special:Contributions/Good friend100.

Beat The Nation
editHi Supadawg, appreciate your attempts to tidy up my page. Job well done as a whole, however I will be reverting the word 'season' back to 'series'. Here in the UK we only tend to use the word 'season' to mean a complete series of sports events (e.g. the football season). We use the word series to mean a group of programmes linked by a common theme but not telling a 'whole' story e.g. Fawlty Towers, and serial to mean a story that is broken down into a series of episode chapters e.g. Lost or 24.

Mind your own
editPlease mind your own business, which is "Counter Vandalism". You're not an official of this site, you're not even an official moderator of Wiki. I put my signature under my work because I post code that is paid much more attention to. No need for you to remove my name. That's not your job. Furthermore - and much more important - the insights I post are as interpreted by me and should never considered the "absolute truth". So when I post something, my name goes there as well, and I take responsibility of what I post. I don't need you to do that for me - or anyone else for that matter. Next time I'll file a complaint. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vladimir Bosnjak (talk • contribs)

Falling
editIt's not "an unsourced edit". It's meaningless garbage about a school buddy of the person who added it. The person who added it several times from multiple IPS, with false edit summaries (which are themselves grounds for immediate blocking) of "reverting vandalism", which is false accusations against good contributors.
This little nugget of shit has been inserted and re-inserted into the article, over and over, since at least May.
Anyone who re-inserts that particular factoid into the article will, most likely, use the edit summary of "revert vandalism", which will be false, and which will therefore be grounds for a block.
Do you understand now? DS 01:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, that would explain why I didn't see anything when I looked specifically for it in the edit history. A great way to not have this confusion again would be to limit your anger to the vandal's talk pages, or to be more descriptive in the comment you left in the article. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this, but it genuinely looked like you were jumping the gun. Supadawg (talk • contribs) 02:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
pgkbot message
editNo particular reason, I'll change the message later. Not sure that parsing the output like that is such a good idea, since (a) pgkbot already did parsing to get that far (b) I can (or whoever runs it in the future) change it for some reason which then causes breakage. What are you trying to do? There might be a better way to do it (e.g. plugin providing a "direct" feed or some such) --pgk 07:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- As a learning project, I'm writing a Firefox extension that connects to #vandalism-en-wp-2 and parses pgkbot's output, displaying the results in a XUL tree element. I'm planning on adding functionality to revert changes, view diffs, etc. I'm having it parse pgkbot's output because I didn't want to have to implement my own RC atom parser and blacklist/whitelist, but it looks like that's what I'll have to do, and besides, it'll be more learning for me :).

Re: Weird English grammar
editWhy, thank you :-) I don't mind being corrected at all. I have been reading, speaking and writing english for 20 years at least, since primary school. However, the stubborn side of my brain refuses to learn conditionals and rhetorical sentences :-(
Again, thanks for the tips! They were much more helpful than the last ones I got ;-) -- ReyBrujo 21:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. I myself much prefer the Spanish method of asking questions - it makes a lot more sense. I've only been learning Spanish for about three years, and I find it a much more beautiful language than English, with its Germanic roots. I cannot believe how rude HappyVR was - has he never learned a foreign language? English is hard! A quick Spanish question: How often is the subjunctive used in everyday speech and slang? I've heard it's disappearing slowly. Also, is the second-person singular pronoun vos used in Argentina? Supadawg (talk • contribs) 21:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Subjunctive? At least down here, we use it mostly to indicate desire or dream, but nothing more. As for vos, yes. Uruguay and Argentina share this voceo as we call it, a contraction from the second-person plural vosotros and similar to the portuguese "voçe". Although others (in example, Mexico, Colombia, Spain, etc) can understand us when we say "Vos sos Roberto?", it is a River Plate slang. The correct way is usually called Neutral Castilian, "Tu eres Roberto?", and as you can imagine, it is pretty rare. In fact, we need to take classes in order to speak it correctly ;-) -- ReyBrujo 22:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- That's very interesting. My Spanish class is teaching what looks like a mix of Castilian and Mexican Spanish, so the subjunctive is used more often, although we haven't learned much of it, so I can't say for sure. The verb you used, sos, looks a lot like the Castilian vosotros form of ser, sois. Is the conjugation of vos verbs separate from that of tú verbs? Is tú used at all? And remember, there is no "correct" way to speak Spanish - just because you're taking classes on it doesn't make it better than the local dialect!

Section Edit Script doesn't work
editHi, Supadawg. I really like your idea of the Section Edit script (you know, secedit.js). I tried installing it and clicking the Edit links threw up a JavaScript error: "createXMLHTTP() is not defined". Whatever you can do to fix this would be appreciated.
