Sorry for the late reply, but thank you. I'll try to help out whenever I can. RaptorR3d 17:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

In your recent edit summary on Sukhoi PAK FA you were getting annoyed with another editor, please note the requirements of WP:CIVIL. I realise you are trying to be helpful, but if users keep adding information you feel is wrong dont keep reverting but please bring it up on the talk page for discussion. Thanks MilborneOne (talk) 19:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I do apologize, but I can't help it, that some hopeless PAK-FA fan boys won't see to reason. RaptorR3d (talk) 21:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

Regarding your comments on User:82.131.210.162: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. the_ed17 23:56, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, I can't help the fact that the user is a hopelessly ignorant fool. So if you have a problem with it; deal with him instead. RaptorR3d (talk) 16:40, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Hey, I've noticed that some of your more recent edits have been very hostile toward other editors. You've been editing for a while, and you probably know by now that Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. I just wanted to remind you that people do see your history of incivility. I'm not the kind of guy to raise a big issue of it (I have a thicker skin than most editors), but you could find yourself in the middle of some drama fast. I'm no admin, but I've seen people banned for less, and all it takes is one person to notice and post in WP:RfC, ANB/3RR, or Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts to find youself getting hassled by a bunch of them.

Please excuse my burst of emotion. Also, someone tell that user 82.131.210.162, that wikipedia is a center for learning; not ignorance and racist tones. --RaptorR3d (talk) 22:40, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

We could try, but the IP address "is registered to 2F 2000 Kft., an Internet service provider through which numerous individual users may connect to the Internet via proxy. This IP address may be reassigned to a different person when the current user disconnects." So someone could leave a message for one person and it would suddenly be seen by someone else!! the_ed17 23:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Removal of messages and warnings.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. the_ed17 02:37, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Please don't remove messages, even if they are warnings. I've gotten one before, too, for removing warnings; see User_talk:The_ed17/Archive_1#My_Warning.... Cheers, the_ed17 02:37, 29 July 2008 (UTC) see below

I swear to....

Fine, whatever. Just don't go and think that you can just fill my entire talk page with 'warnings'. I have better things to discuss. RaptorR3d (talk) 16:41, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#User talk pages mentions that "Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred. They may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. This specifically includes both registered and anonymous users."

So technically, you were within your own rights as a user to remove those notices, though I must agree, it seems a bit impolite. You also may wish to read Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments because there are exceptions.

Also, based on your contributions, it seems you have an interest in military technology, especially aircraft. Perhaps you'd be interested in joining WikiProject Military history or WikiProject Aviation? WPMILHIST also has subprojects (called task forces) in things like Military aviation, land vehicles, and military technology and engineering. Seems like you'd have a lot to offer. Cheers! bahamut0013♠♣ 21:59, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

My apologies. It seems as though I was completely wrong...It was my belief that you were not allowed to do that due to the warning I got for removing warnings. I didn't check up on that at all before warning you...I am very sorry. the_ed17 22:45, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

It's alright, I aknowledge the fact that I may have flown off the handle a bit; regarding a certain user, but I assure you and other well-to-do members of Wikipedia that I'll try to keep a cool head from now on, no matter what outrageous comments some users may make. As for the offer on the Military aviation, land vehicles, and military technology and engineering. I'll have to give it some thought; although it does seem very interesting.

Now all I have to do is to find a way to spruce up my user page. RaptorR3d (talk) 02:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Being civil is always good thing. =) (Reformed! :D lol) Also, if you want to be a kleptomaniac and steal stuff from my userpage, feel free. the_ed17 02:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
