Welcome

Thanks! But how in the heck did I get a welcome before I even made my first edit? Did clicking the preview button trigger some bot or something? -MagnaMopus 21:38, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I'll take this one for you; There is a log of new users and people like him or me read through each of them and give a warm welcome. Link9er 15:08, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandal

Thank you for reporting that vandal. I got through to his isp, but got an automated responce. I sent an email and am now waiting for a reply. Link9er 15:35, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Sao Jose dos Campos

Hello Adam,

I wrote most of the text of São José. Thank God you help me (with my lousy English!!!)

Sorry about the basic mistakes...That was really a nice job!!!

Cloretti 18:23, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello Sir,

I know what is happening concerning the population (1 million or 2 million)...Well, the current administrative name of Vale do Paraiba is Sao Jose dos Campos. That map (from citybrasil) is a microregion (with 8 municipalities) within the other macroregion (also named Sao Jose dos Campos) with encompasses Vale do Paraiba and the North Coast). check :http://www.investimentos.sp.gov.br/regioes/ Regards Cloretti 19:45, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia

This message is regarding the page Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia and your edit. I realize your intentions were good, but you have to be careful when using Lupin's navigation tools to reverse the work of a vandal. I fixed the problem and can tell by looking at your contribuions and talk page that you're against vandalism. Try to be more careful in the future.--– sampi (talk•contrib) 19:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hi. Can you point me to the bit I missed? Sorry I missed it! [[Sam Korn]] 14:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Sure, it just gets tricky to check every revert when you've done over a hundred in an hour. :-) Cheers, [[Sam Korn]] 15:02, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

No it doesn't. It's a very explicit statement:

This rule does not apply to:

• self-reverts
• correction of simple vandalism

I hope this helps. [[Sam Korn]] 15:15, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

attention maam

it is most unfortunate and sad that you should like to reverse scientific and social progress simply because you're on a massive ego trip. Randomly reverting wikipedia entries for the benifit of your own pompousness is simply childish. I hope you will take a less retarded approach in the future.

All your edits that I reverted were because you are vandalising. It's sir to you--Adam ^(talk) 20:16, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Explanation

Hi, somehow I do not believe it was your intendion to reintroduce conspiracy theory into Torah: [1]. Cheers. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 02:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, colleague. By the way, I almost did the same. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 04:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I'll go with your material and add the item on the 1947 UN resolution to what you have. --Bill

Updated South Carolina Userbox

I know you just created it yesterday, but I made some major modifications to make it more similar with the other state userboxes. Please see the talk page of the template for more details. Let me know if you have a problem :). --Dragon695 02:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Your warning to Pinktulip

Hi, Kungfuadam. I saw your warning to Pinktulip. If you're basing it on this, then at first glance, one might think that he vandalized the Mozart article. However, it's important to remember, when you look at two versions side by side, that something taken out by the second editor was not necessarily put in by the first. If you look at the diff for his edit, you'll see it was a perfectly appropriate one. If you look at the diff for the previous edit, you'll see that the addition to which you rightly objected was, in fact, made by 213.189.150.86 (talk · contribs). Cheers, AnnH ^(talk) 15:05, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

➨ ❝REDVERS❞ awards this Barnstar to Kungfuadam for reverting vandalism to my userpage.

info?

how u edit the info?

i have the references —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.207.226.85 (talk • contribs)

Main page info

Unless 'Charels I' was some kind of alternate spelling at the time? Guinnog 20:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

It has been fixed then by someone.--Adam ^(talk) 20:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Nope, not that i can see. Guinnog 21:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, searched the article and found no instances of Charels anywhere in the article. I suggest you clear your cache/delete temporary files.--Adam ^(talk) 21:09, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page still shows up with a link to Image:Charels I by Daniel Mytens in 1631.jpg Guinnog 21:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

it's not an advertisement it's a link to a funny site

I wanted to get people to go to the site so I put it there to advertise it but it's not an advertisement —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.120.190.101 (talk • contribs)

Even so, it does not belong on wikipedia- it does not have to do with the article. I don't understand- you said "I put it there to advertise but it's not an advertisement. That makes no sense...--Adam ^(talk) 14:57, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

SORRY SIR

I THOUGHT IT DIDN'T COUNT. SORRY I WILL BE MORE CAREFUL. PLEASE REPLY IN ASSURANCE.

SURESH —Preceding unsigned comment added by Genius1087 (talk • contribs)

No problem. I will place a welcome message on your talk page so you can familiarize yourself with Wikipedia. Cheers!--Adam ^(talk) 20:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Context

I wasn't using bitch obscenely. It was vandalism I cleared up ; bitch was an incidental double entendre. If you look back to my edit: 19:32, 6 February 2006 Bordello (Bitch), and the one previous, comparing the two, I have replaced Bitch with Ann after some research. I asked for simple corroboration on the talk page, bitch. (take a joke) Bordello 07:08, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Frenzy/Cargill...

Hello,

Why did you alter my updating of Joanna Cargill's biography? Nyssie 05:22, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

It looked like vandalism- sorry, I should be more careful next time. I reverted to your last change.--Adam ^(talk) 05:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Godmode Light

Glad you got it working, the original version has a conflict with popups that stops it working. Can I ask which browser you are using as it stoped working for me completely in late December when I upgraded to firefox 1.5. Haven't been able to get it to work since :-( --Cactus.man ✍ 08:10, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I am using latest version of Firefox. That must have been my problem too.--Adam ^(talk) 12:13, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

All very strange, based on what you said I tried it out again and it's working now ??? But I have a very odd behaviour when I check contributions pages - all last edit entries are appended with [User&token=88f0aa6317bf273db3d0b25f83a72e65">rollback] instead of the usual name and rollback links. Do you get this problem? Thanks. --Cactus.man ✍ 14:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't have any problems with that. Look at my contributions. --Adam ^(talk) 14:30, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Anselm Page

Please see discussion page and leave the Contemporary section intact for now.--Br Alexis Bugnolo 01:53, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I have left the page intact. I realized that I made a mistake so I reverted myself.--Adam ^(talk) 02:04, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I found the Contemporary Section missing, after your revert. But I could use some help coding the links I think. They still don't all look right.--Br Alexis Bugnolo 02:07, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

How about going here [2] and revert to that version? Just put in edit summary rervert per discussion with Kungfuadam.--Adam ^(talk) 02:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

How to you revert that? When I have RV I cut and paste from the previous version.--Br Alexis Bugnolo 02:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

You can click on that revision, and it will come up. Then click edit page. It will warn you that it is an older version. I can't revert anymore on the page because of 3RR. Just put something in the edit summary. I initally reverted someone else who blanked this, then I reverted myself. KarlBunker was the person who first removed this section.--Adam ^(talk) 02:18, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Br Alexis Bugnolo

Hi. After I noticed that Br Alexis Bugnolo is a newbie, I have reduced his block to 12 hours, which should be over by now. I also tried to explain him the policies, and my feeling/hope is that while he is not excited about the bock, he will stay on Wikipedia. (see User talk:Br Alexis Bugnolo for discussion). Hope this is OK with you. Happy editing -- Chris 73 | Talk 20:32, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Please read discussion page for United States of America concerning pejorative terms

The terms that you support using to describe Indigenous peoples are pejorative, demeaning, and undescriptive. Please read the discussion page for United States of America for more information. Thank you. -- VinnyCee 03:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Editing an Edit Summary

I replied to your question on the Help Desk. - ApolloCreed 21:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Alphabetizing interwiki

Hi Kung fu, I noticed that you have made a number of changes lately to the alphabetization of the interwiki. I believe the general consensus is that these should be alphabetized by name instead of by symbol. For example, eo=Esperanto which comes after es:Español. Likewise, fi=Suomi, ja=日本語=Nihongo and should be among the S's and N's repectively. I've reverted your edit to Beaver, but it looks as though you have made a number of these changes recently. --Aranae 01:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I didn't know that- I will be more careful next time.--Adam ^(talk) 03:14, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

There is no reason to delete American English userboxes at all.

Seriously, this crusade to delete userboxes is more polarising than the actual boxes themself. If you care about Wikipedia, and about contributors being happy, I suggest that you treat userboxes as a bit of fun, as that is all they are. --Rob McKay 03:31, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I was asking you why you deleted the userbox- I am not the one deleting here.--Adam ^(talk) 03:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary

Hi. I've recently found a number of edit summaries on my watchlist starting with "AWB assisted ...".

Starting your edit summary with a link promoting some software makes it slower for me to scan my watchlist. It's also frustrating because I can't even run Windows software on my computer, so it feels a bit like you are spamming my watchlist (no offence intended). Would you mind setting your AWB software so that it doesn't add the promotional link to the edit summary, or at least so it puts it at the end, like "... using AWB"?

If you don't mind, would you also leave a note for the developers whether you agree with me or not, at talk:AutoWikiBrowser? Thanks, Michael Z. 2006-02-20 05:32 Z

Unsigned template

I noticed that you added {{unsigned|IP Address}} to a user comment on AfD and I was just wondering if you added that by hand or if there is a utility that does it. I've seen the "Unsigned" designation added before, but just realized that it was a template. Now I think I'd like to start using it when needed, and automagical is better than by hand. Which is it?
— Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib)  –  February 20, 2006, 18:52 (UTC)

You first have to go to the history to see the IP address, copy it and put it into the template- {{unsigned|IP address that you copied}}--Adam ^(talk) 18:54, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Cool, that's what I thought. Though an automated process would be cool. Like with Popups or AWB. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib)  –  February 20, 2006, 19:05 (UTC)

Sorry Adam

I was on wikipedia but then i went to eat dinner and my little brother got on the computer and deleted sum entries, wont happen again.

thank you.

thank you for the userbox substitution! Sct72 03:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

no problem. This is good because of all the deletions that have been going on!--Adam ^(talk) 12:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Agarttha

Hi,

I appreciate that copyrighted material is unacceptable. What I wrote about "Agarttha" was just a gambit to get an article rolling. One "throws one’s own little bolt which fell short obviously and left the others to carry it on."

Ulrich.

Blue MetroCard

I think this should be a separte article, please read it. -- Eddie, Sunday March 12 2006 at 05:54

Ok that's fine.--Adam ^(talk) 05:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, it's always a good idea to wait a few minutes while I feed in the necessary information. Hasty deletion is certainly not a good idea. -- Eddie, Sunday March 12 2006 at 05:57

SPOKEN WIKI

Please say a few words about uploading an audio recording illustrating the issues of an already existing Article; much like a photo, only audio. Apparently this is not what wiki means by spoken-wiki. ---060322--plumalley--

I am not sure what you are asking. The spoken wiki files must be in the .ogg format, but they are uploaded to the image namespace.--Adam ^(talk) 15:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

My Good Charlotte Edit

You obviously mistook that edit for something it was not. I believe that one sided reviews of bands or anything for that matter aren't fair to people with different beliefs, and I have thouroughly consulted a large majority of my friends before deciding to add to the description of the good charlotte band page. We all agree that they do, truly, suck balls.

Please check Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View Policy--Adam ^(talk) 01:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

School vs. school

In the case of a generic school, lower case is appropriate. But when it is part of the neme, it's upper case (see Midland High School (Midland, Louisiana)). In the case of Bath Consolidated School, the "consolidated" part meant that grades 1 to 12 were in the school, so any time the full name is spelled out, school should be capitalized. If it were "Bath High School" being bombed, this would be obvious. I would appreciate it if you would revert your edits on this. Jtmichcock 18:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I did not make captialization edits on this. I captialized a name of a product- Pyrotol. Here is my edit:

Hey Adam

Hey, Adam, guess what. This IP belongs to a zillion AOL users, so the vandal probably didn't hear your message. If you don't like AOL edits, I suggest you petition Wiki to disallow all anonymous edits. 207.200.116.196 18:49, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary on Frog

That's a feature in my godmode that allows me to make custom edit summaries. I was typing in IRC, so when the box came up to type in, I accidentally put an "r" in there, which made that edit summary. --Rory096 19:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Revert

Why did you revert my edits on Ante Starcevic??? I made it more neutral, instead of all the other users who were just reverting each other! Your actions are not justifiable at all, you probably didn't read my edits at all, just reverted them one minute after I made them. I demand you apologize! --Boris Malagurski ₪ 03:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me? I did NOT revert anything, and if you had read the edit, you would've seen that! How dare you accuse me of something I didn't do! I try to help with the dispute, and you threaten me with being blocked?? What do you have against me? Read the edits I made! --Boris Malagurski ₪ 03:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I read your edits and they are defintely POV and seem racist to me. Other editors have similar view because they reverted it as well. I don't do reverts more than one time, so rest assured, I won't revert your edits anymore.--Adam ^(talk) 03:48, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Thats not the point. Those are not my views, those are the views of Historians and Ante himself. The fact of the matter is, this guy really hated Jews and Serbs - he wrote books about it!!! Don't take my word for it, go to any library and read about him. And you're accusing me of being racist? I will not rest untill you apologize to me for accusing me of something I didn't do. --Boris Malagurski ₪ 03:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for my comment on the edit seeming racist. However, I am not an admin, and cannot block you. I just wanted you to know about the revert war, giving you a friendly warning in case an admin sees your edit history. No matter the circumstances, exceeding 3 reverts could merit a block. I would just allow some to allow other edits comment on the page's talk page.--Adam ^(talk) 03:58, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Andrew Evans

Hi,

My name is Andrew Evans, I am a comedian. I visited a page dedicated to comedians and added my name, when I clicked on the link it took me to Pastor Andrew Evans. I then tried to edit the page so that it would reflect me, when I did so, it told me I was making unreasonable edits. I was simply looking to differentiate myself, from the OTHER Andrew Evans. How might I do that?

Thanks, Andrew

First of all, the community might delete the page because of non-notablity. Second, it is not good to write an article about yourself, it will probably be biased You may create a disambiguation page however. --Adam ^(talk) 23:47, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
