It's ironic that you abbreviate Aberdeen F.C. as AFC, since you also have the WP:WPAFC userbox on your userpage. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 20:50, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

About the modification on Beijing Olympics.

I don't think a tabloid news is what wikipedia wants to quote.

It reported an eviction of 2 million people in the so-called newspaper, while wikipedia reported a 300,000 people move in total for Olympics. It's a contradiction already.

Please find a way to valid the source of citation or else please delete this part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.248.216 (talk) 10:01, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

BOLD ALLCAPS SIG

Hi WBO. Thanks for you contributions.

Your sig is really loud. Could I suggest you turn it down a little, perhaps unbold, smaller font, or a lighter color? It's not a big deal, not something I usually care about, and if you don't want to change it, not something I'd complain about. But usually by the time I notice something like this, someone else is being really aggravated by it, so maybe you might wanna consider. / edg ☺ ☭ 15:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Right you are - I was thinking that myself... how's it now? ^{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN aka john lennon} 15:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

On my browser (Firefox on Puppy Linux, Xfce desktop I think) it looks about the same, but higher. If you're still trying things out, then I don't need to butt in any further. Thanks for getting back to me on this. / edg ☺ ☭ 15:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

United States invasion of Panama

Your edits, I am afraid, are not conducive to productive or constructive edits to this article and in fact ignore the glaring problems as I have outlined including whole paragraphs containing tendentious unsourced material and other edits which are quite problematic despite superficial sourcing. Please direct concerns to the relevant talk page rather than revert blindly. Thank you. NSIprogram (talk) 16:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The most glaring problem is that a few paragraphs are not sourced at all and make highly controversial claims. The second problem is that those which are sourced do not have provenance that establishes their relevance to the subject matter other than establishing tertiary political points to the US system. Above all, there is absolutely no reason to revert a dozen times unsourced, tendentious material as I have deleted. There is no valid inclusionist, et al, reason to revert it. NSIprogram (talk) 16:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I can not underestimate my appreciation for your speedy concern regarding my deletions and thank you for your considered response. Unfortunately I do see a battle brewing over the sourced but irrelevant deletions but do not foresee a serious effort mounted over the unsourced responses. I thank you for your timely edits and hope that you take general interest in this article in the future. NSIprogram (talk) 16:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

adop me please

Hi,

I've recently registered and created an account in Wikipedia. I am a first year PhD student in information Science. I am doing my PhD in City University, London.

My interests fall in " Visualization of huge online social networks" and specifically in uncovering the effects of geographic data (physical location of members in real world) on their online social interactions and behaviour.

Since Wikipedia contains large amonuts of online interactions among registered and unregistered users around the world, I've been focusing on wikipedians' online community recently.

As a result I contacted the wikimedia team and we are in the process of obtaining some data from their team.

At the moment, I am familiarising myself to the wikipedia features: Data dumps, statistics, tools,databases and downloading the data dumps into a database.

In doing so I really need soem advice and comments from an experienced user. Highly appreciate it if you let me know that you could adopt me.

Capitalisation

I agree with you about "non important words" should not being capitalised, but it is the title of the song. I know, even titles of books, songs, movies, etc. usually follow this rule, but many do not. See her website here: http://www.amymacdonald.co.uk/. It is also an unimportant song though and agree it should be deleted. :) Could you please do something about the title of the album, the capitalisation is also wrong and affects the search this way. Thanks in advance.--The Smoking Nun (talk) 20:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if you didn't refer to my edits as vandalism.

Constrict vs Speed up Flow

A differential pressure flow measurement, ideally, does not waste energy. On the other hand, sometimes it is desirable to remove energy and slow down the flow (EG refrigeration). I was trying to show the difference. But, I agree, my edit was half-arsed and not really an improvement. Take care, Jono4174 (talk) 03:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

too biting?

Hi WBOSITG, regarding your reversion and vandalism templating, I wonder if this isn't too strong a response to this particular newbie edit. I don't think the user's edit was unconstructive (as the vandalism template says), but rather not in line with typical WP formatting -- a common newbie mistake. I had noticed this edit too, and had posted on his talk page hoping to work with him to fix it. Anyway, as a newbie myself not too long ago, I wonder if your message in response to my first edit would be rather discouraging of further edits. Food for thought as you continue fighting vandalism. Cheers, AndrewGNF (talk) 19:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps in this case, {{uw-mos1}} would be appropriate? Just to differentiate pure vandalism from cases like this where the content is actually pertinent and on-topic. Just a suggestion... AndrewGNF (talk) 20:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I had a question. User:IMatthew brought to my attention that many of the mottos in the 'awaiting decision' section are way older than 21 days, and many have been opposed and should probably be removed.

There is a very long discussion in the talk page. And there are people who are working in the articles for months. On the other hand there are others who have no contribution to Wikipedia and just create a new account and erase what the want and add what they want without giving any explanation. Do you support the strategy of the second? I don't believe that. So, before you do more, check the history of the article and the talk page.--Vassilis78 (talk) 17:54, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

a joke

Three explorers were hiking through a vast forest that would eventually become Canada.

"You know," said the first explorer, "we should name this vast forest we're hiking through."

"I know," said the second explorer. "We'll each pick a letter and then make a name out of that."

"Good idea," said the third explorer. "You go first."

"Okay," said the first explorer. "C, A."

"My turn," said the second explorer. "N, A."

Unfortunately, before the third explorer could choose a letter, a bear jumped out of the trees and killed and ate all three explorers. Eventually, some guy came along and named the country after his aunt.
You said "tell me a joke" in your sig. I searched "joke" on Google, clicked on the first link, and clicked "random joke". J.delanoy^gabs_adds 20:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I thought it was kind of funny, but I don't know for sure what it is supposed to mean. I just randomly chose a joke, whether or it made sense or not. I was bored, and I happened to see your "tell me a joke" thing, so it gave me something to do. Sorry. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 23:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, I didn't notice you were from Scotland, or I would have chosen a different subject. Let's see... (does incredibly exhausting search i.e. opens new tab in browser, searches for joke on Google, clicks on first link, clicks "random joke", copies/pastes here.) *panting with exertion* OK, here is try #2...

1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
3. Only in America......do drugstores make sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
4. Only in America......do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet Coke.
5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors to the vault open and then chain the pens to the counters.
6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
7. Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and hot dog buns in packages of eight.
9. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

Hopefully, that's better. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 23:14, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

removal of comment from West Bromwich Albion F.C.

The comment you removed from West Bromwich Albion F.C. was not vandalism but a valid comment to help editors. The article states that the club have competed in English football's top flight for the majority of their existence, however this is obviously something that could change in the future. The comment points out that they would have to remain out of the Premiership until 2042 before this would no longer hold true, hence there is no need to review or re-calculate this on an ongoing basis. I have reverted your change, however please let me know if you think this comment could be improved so as not to be deleted. Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 11:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

ASIMO I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which I'm very glad to say was successful at 81/7/0. Some of the very best that Wikipedia has to offer came out to support or oppose me and the kind words from all the editors has really given me confidence to be an admin and I can't wait to start. I will take the advice of the opposes and not jump into any content disputes immediately. As well, I will try to add more content myself. Anyways, in thanks for participating in my RfA, here's your very own personal humanoid robot. Enjoy! --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 13:51, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Cool

What a great way of irritating vandals. I went to check the source on you user page, and all I got was TO VANDALS. Sweet, you are an inspiration. How do you edit your user page tnhough? Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 00:40, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Mentoring

I need help getting my mainspace edits up to a respectable level, I was wondering if you would be able to help me to do that, if not, thanks anyway. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 10:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe not adoption, a term that I think is an innapropriate use of the word in this context, and I have an adopter anyway. I had more in mind a sort of think tank, where you and I try and help each other's exploits into wikipedia, maybe diversifying each other's interests etc. I hate football for instance, perhaps I could learn to appreciate the need for a sport that brings people together. I need, I want, to get my namespace edits up, which I think you could help with. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 10:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps our first point of call should be to discern each other's interests? Shall we? Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 11:10, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

your page in IE vs, FF

While I enthusiastically agree that FF is infinitely better than IE, I am afraid that your userpage looks almost identical in both. This is your page in IE7. This is your page in Firefox. You may want to change the little notice thingy on your main userpage. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

haha sorry. I was too lazy to notice that... J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

yup. I was waiting for my brother to get himself off his computer so we could go to McDonalds. It wasn't worth it to log into huggle for like 5 minutes, so instead I wasted that time by actually finding the IE .exe file in the depths of c:\program_files and firing it up, taking two screenshots, uploading them to Flickr, and even taking the time to change the copyright status to CC rather than all rights reserved. All this instead of fighting vandalism. I really need to get my priorities straight.... J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:41, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Interests

Reading, English language, guitar based bands of the sixties, and playing guitar are m main interests. Probably guitar and English are the ones I tend to focus on outside of Wikipedia, I am in a band and I want to be an English teacher. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 00:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Editor Review

Hey man, thanks for the editor review, and thanks for the suggestions on article improvment, I will do those. I am not entirely certain what you mean by "talk to others like an administrator" I am reasonably certain that that is a complement, and I thank you for it, but I want to know what it means to "talk to others like an administrator" I assume that it will affect any future attempts at admin that I may have? Thanks, Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 06:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I have already started to edit Hendrix, nothing major, a footnote here or there, I have submitted it for peer review. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 07:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Middlesex#GA_Review:_On_hold

Hey, thanks for your GAN help. I know this one failed a GAN before, but still, if you could list out more specifically any other issues with the article when reviewing it'd be really great. If you usually do this and this was just a one off because the article had already been reviewed in the past, than feel free to ignore me! Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 09:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh wow, I thought I had seen you around there before. In that case, thanks for helping out! Very much appreciated. Hopefully my guide helps :) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 09:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Help

I just switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla, I am not entirely impressed. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 09:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

With firefox of course, what skin do you use? I got used to the modern skin, now everything looks strange. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 09:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

It does work, but it still will be good to be able to use other skins that have been provided, which is why I have left the template there. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 09:37, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Note left on user's talk page, thanks man. Perhaps I was somewhat ambiguous when I said that one of my main interests is the English Language. Forgive me, that is one of the main problems with the language. I meant that my passion was for the subject that I am sure you study at school, literacy I think they call it in Scotland, I love poetry and Shakespeare etc. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 09:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Shakespearian articles on wikipedia generally are pretty good. Doctor Will Thompson (talk) 09:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Aberdeen

No worries at all, and thanks for the award. I might end up reviewing it for GA myself. I don't like to have more than one on the go at the same time. My first suggestion would be to remove the notable players section - they've often been removed from football teams and instead lists of former players articles done instead, e.g. List of Aberdeen F.C. players. Otherwise that section is too much POV. Peanut4 (talk) 11:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Have a look at Category:Lists of footballers by club to look at other such lists. A lot of them have players who played over a certain amount of games. Peanut4 (talk) 19:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

It's not necessary to only have more than 100 games. I've personally done the List of Bradford City A.F.C. players, which has all players ever at Bradford City. But I reckon there must be more than that list who have played more than 100 games for Aberdeen. Peanut4 (talk) 20:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Just do what you can. It's a good start. I'm sure you'll find some more sources, or someone else will help fill in the gaps. Peanut4 (talk) 20:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
