Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up the Midievia debate results for me. wasn't sure where to put it, my first one. Tearstar 20:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the fix in the talker bit too. I'm not sure why my edits got reverted. Having sample examples of MUSHes in an article that only vaguely links to MUSHes as a disambiguation is not neutral, and I think that they have to be removed. Asserting that the GOD/WIZ/USER idea is only for nuts-type talkers and doesn't apply to ew-too isn't neutral either. I was just a bit confused how to word that, since it'd be good to explain that. But the user levels vary talker to talker, not ew-too to nuts. Anyway, all my edits got reverted, so I am not bothering with it anymore. The article generally looks pretty good I think, but its a bit messy. The whole thing with providing examples over something like this is because people have loyalty to one place over another, and then you have fights over which one is best. That's why there were only the 11 examples given, each with a specific reason for their inclusion, notability wise, and in terms of the history. Including any more without referencing their historical status is biased. Anyway, thanks for your bit. I don't know anything about MUF so was just changing that to make things more readable. 59.167.131.8 17:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't really know much about talkers - I only noticed the article because it linked to MUSH. I'd guess that all the bits about software specifics (like the permission levels) would be better off in a separate article on the talker codebase in question - as many of the MUD codebases have. I also think the MUSH/MUCK/etc examples are unnecessary, especially since the actual MUSH article doesn't list specific games. I don't really feel strongly enough about it to revert someone else about it, though. Ehheh 17:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Removing Information

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Not looking to get into any kind of Royal Rumble over the Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding (TnT) page.

I actually appreciate you’re looking out for it.

I reviewed the Rikki Lee Travolta files and I see where you’re coming from. His fans are about the most over zealous ever seen. It’s pretty common knowledge, that religious fever they have. That’s why he was hired as the first big guest star investment for TnT. There were fans traveling from state to state to see him as he moved from show to show. That’s why he was cast.

Understanding your concerns, rest assured that Rikki Lee was the first big time guest star (there was a minor guest star test with Meloa that went okay too, but he’s never been national). Please don’t take my word for it. Just look at the history of the entire article from day 1. Also look at the sources sited.

Also while there continues to be a nice relationship with John Mendoza (he no longer uses the Stuttering John moniker) he wasn’t one of the more major celebrities used over the year. That is not to downplay his value. Every guest star and every cast member is valued. He only did one night a week and was not yet on the Tonight Show, just a player on a radio show. We appreciate his place in history of TnT and his contributions, but it would be false to list him as one of our major celebrities much less our first.

Please, also, consider the source of the individual who tried to pass off John as the premier celebrity guest star for the show; it you look at the record - KevinMutt also tried to claim “the bagel boy” was the first big guest star. It’s vandalism. Goofy vandalsim.

Protocol says I have to tag a please don’t vandalize notation. I appreciate what you’re trying to do, though, Don’t take it personal. It’s simple a flag that we have to put up but we can disregard as we all progress together. Keep up the good work (just don’t remove information in the process of safeguarding). 70.217.125.154 05:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

My RfC

The editor and admin JoshuaZ (talk · contribs) has agreed with my assessment that he has not tried and failed to resolve the dispute. JoshuaZ also agreed that we should delete the RfC for that reason. Please view my talk page for the discussion. Vivaldi (talk) 16:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I hadn't seen that when I did the revert, but even so, I think it is inappropriate for you to decertify your own RFC. I suggest you ask JoshuaZ to revert me, with my blessings. :) Ehheh 16:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

My RfC again

I see you left this edit summary: "revert - Please don't remove other sections, and more importantly don't revert other people's endorsements of the statement of dispute" I did not intend to remove any other people's endorsements from the dispute. My own statements got reverted out while multiple users were editing at the same time. I tried to revert back and put in the relevent endorsements where they belonged. It was completely unintentional that this happened and I will try to be more careful in the future. Vivaldi (talk) 21:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Derek Smart

An arbitration case in which you were involved, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Derek Smart, has closed. For a period of six months, no single-purpose account may revert any edit made to the Derek Smart article. This article is referred to the Wikipedia editing community for clean-up, evaluation of sources, and adherence to NPOV. Any user may fully apply the principles of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons to this article. Supreme Cmdr is banned from Wikipedia for one year. Supreme Cmdr and other surrogates of Derek Smart are also banned from editing Derek Smart, but may edit the talkpage. This is a summary of the remedy provisions of the decision, and editors should review the complete text of the decision before taking any action. This notice is given by a Clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. Newyorkbrad 23:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

In re: Matt Walker, the drummer

Please revert the edit. We can take this to a discussion if you want that? Walker plays on the Nysted album. It is verifiable. The project wants it up there. AMG is a verifiable; reliable resource. Enough said. Please be a responsible editor; ask an independent 3rd party that has not been involved. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.93.197.67 (talk • contribs).

• You are now entering the twilight zone. With a very small thread of good faith, we ask that you not revert for a third time something that is proven to be a reliable fact by Wikipedia's own approved source in the music world. AMG

Perhaps another media outlet is more to your liking? (MySpace, perhaps?) We are running out of patience and will ask for a comment on the validity of any action that takes down reliable sourced data from a bio. 63.93.197.67 20:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

All editors are welcome to provide comment to assist in reaching agreements or to provide their opinions by responding to requests for comment on an article discussion page. Remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; all articles and policies must follow Neutral point of view, Verifiability, and No original research. This is not a vote.

Try not to be confrontational. Be friendly and civil, and assume good faith in other editors' actions. Mediate where possible - identify common ground, attempt to draw editors together rather than push them apart. If necessary, educate users by referring to the appropriate Wikipedia policies. On user conduct RfCs, do not create "disendorsement" sections on RfCs. If you disagree with something someone else has said, you may add your own separate statement explaining why you disagree. Do not create a "Users who do not agree with this summary" section, or the equivalent. This tends to be a confrontational act that is not productive. To comment, jump to section for RfCs on articles, users, or policies and conventions.63.93.197.67 20:06, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Misc. complaints

Hello, You keep removing We101.com from the page about blog aggregators. You cite the reason as "advertising." We101.com is a legitimate aggregator of local blogs and as appropriate an external link as the other external links on the page. Please tell me what criteria you are applying that rejects We101.com from this page while allowing others to remain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.76.226.81 (talk) 21:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

How is listing an online Social Game advertising in an article that is clearly designed to list such? You can only claim favoritism as a motive for removing a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tylercraig85 (talk • contribs)

--- I'll add to that complaint. Not only the removal of a valid source, but the first source concerning one of the primary ideas of the article on Play-by-post roleplaying. =| If you're going to take it down, at least put up your own "correct" source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.218.84.25 (talk) 23:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

--- I concur with both of the above statements. Granted simply adding an external link is not truly "contributing" but when the article content calls for a relevant, detailed external source it is warranted, especially when no external links exist --Intenscia (talk) 04:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

--- This is nothing new. He does this all the time and with wanton disregard for other editors. Anyway, Ehheh I corrected the Derek Smart page. Please think twice before you go and revert stuff without any reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.147.30.254 (talk) 13:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Mr.Reszel

Based on your speedy deletion nomination of Mr.Reszel, you may want to review the definition of patent nonsense. While criteria A1 seems to be useful for "nonsense" articles like Mr.Reszel, it really only applies to articles whose only content is, as my high school English teacher would say, gobbeldygook. Articles that aren't random characters or word salad but are still "nonsense", can be speedied under another criteria, like A7, or sent to PROD or AFD. Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. Keep up the good work! Ioeth _{(talk contribs friendly)} 21:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

LegitHacks

Hi I have noticed you have been reversing my edits! The reason I added them is because the article takes a lot of information from the site and regurgitates it for the Wiki. I added it to other pages because I thought the content was taken from the website, but it was not and only the "Wallhacking" page was. It would be great if you could reverse your edit and just leave it as it is, I hope I have not caused you too much trouble! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.158.14 (talk) 20:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Grid computing

While I agree that the links on that page are a mess and need a lot of work tidying up (probably putting bits out to a separate page) it's not a linkfarm. It's a collection of generally appropriate links (speaking as an expert in the field). There must be a better tag... Donal Fellows (talk) 20:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I suppose you could switch it to {{Too many links}} - Ehheh (talk) 21:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

MMORTS List removal

Hi, you removed the link to the list of MMORTS games http://www.mmorts.com/index.php?cmd=games from [[2]]I was just wondering how it doesn't meet the criteria for eligibility given that the wikipedia page does not include a comprehensive list of games itself?

Generally speaking we only link to sites with significant content that can't be duplicated on the wiki. See Wikipedia:External links for details. - Ehheh (talk) 21:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Laser Tag

Hi! I've noticed you frantically removing the link to TRUTNEE Laser Tag Portal. What's the idea of your efforts? This Laser Tag Portal is a reliable and well-known source of laser tag information and removing the link to it from "External Links" section reduces the possibility of the wiki-visitor to get the full-scale industry's information. BTW are you in any way associated with laser tag industry? Megaboss (talk) 10:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Not in the laser tag industry, no. I removed the link because it doesn't meet the guideline for external links on Wikipedia. - Ehheh (talk) 01:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Just take a couple of minutes and visit TRUTNEE Laser Tag Portal yourself. Count the number of laser tag systems and manufacturers with appropriate descriptions and interviews with manufacturers' representatives enlisted there and compare to the list at Wikipedia, for example. Do this, man. Megaboss (talk) 07:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

User JCSCEFA Links

I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out how to "myTalk" I am not even sure if this is how to do it. I just saw the comments on the links and content I added on Friday and today. I am new to Wiki updates, and am sorry for the hassel. I see that you have deleted update where I added 'closed-end funds' to the 'exchange-traded funds' when CEFs are the investment company structure that ETFs were formed from. I will work to stay inside the guide lines of Wiki, George Scott, who has co-authored the only hard back book, (500 pages) on CEFS and it is used in gradute level finance classes, "Investing in CEFs: Finding Value and Building Wealth" is the editior and publisher of The Scott Letter, in print 1988-1996 and online since 2001. The newsletter is very well read and endourced by the industry. It has interviews with CEF fund managers and other pertinent articles. The only "marketing-esk notation" on the back page above our logo it simply says that we do mange money in 4 styles. (and it lists them). The Closed-End Fund Forum, is run by Capital Link, which is a shareholder relations comapany. They are private and In it to make money - how are we different. The reason I added the links to our website, is we do offer a valuable primary info service, which does expose people to our company. George was first a journalist and then a invemtment manager. Meybe the link needs to be reworded - in regrds to our links, I want people to know there is this information avialable to help them learn about the funds. In regards to the info I added on the ETF, MF, REIT and CEF pages that didnt 'pomote our newsletter or website' I believe the bulk of it was valuable. I do understand that being new I have some to learn. I am not one for spamming. It is a fact that there are two private firms (w/ websites) that are the "CEF Gurus". Tom Herzfeld in Miami, and us in Richmond, Va. The CEF association is also a great resource (and we have worked closley with them since their formation.) In conclusion, I will be more careful on what I type, but I feel the editor(s) have been a little overreaching in deleting worthwhile content and info. Thank you for your understanding.- John Cole Scott, CFS - (800) 356-3508 or jcs@cefadvisors.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcscefa (talk • contribs) 17:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
