A response by IP 159.101.11.175 to a recent message from Will
I cannot find any indication that the NPOV policy prohibits descriptions of views about the probability of an event happening in the next 24 hours. the claim that people tend to make one prediction may need a citation, but I have never encountered any description of neutrality to which it runs contrary. Feel free to direct me to the text of the policy that you are basing your interpretation on. However, I find it particularly curious that I be accused of not being neutral, given that I almost rewrote the article on the No free lunch theorems to get rid of the creationist prejudice in it, so as to make sure real maths was involved instead. Of course, to be fair, you wouldn't know about that - I just wanted to bring up how odd a message yours came across as. 159.101.11.175 20:31, 13 April 2007
- Well, like I said, that's a matter of being in need of citation, not being biased. Either more than 50 % of the relevant people feel that way, or they don't. I'd rather delete all this in an hour's time without you restoring it on grounds of vandalism. Not much chance, though. Funny game, yes. That's why I'm worried about Gridlock. Every time football has ever had an opportunity to get in the way of a show of mine it has done just that.
- Addendum: Actually, let me put it another way. No matter how many times I check this page, an orange bar on every Wikipedia page tells me there's been a new message even when there hasn't. It is that, rather than this potential flame war, that's upsetting me. You don't happen to know to stop that, do you? I wouldn't be able to use Wikipedia again on this computer if I had to put up with it. I'd rather rely on its clone at Answers.com, then slowly adapt to its awful graphics. 159.101.11.175 21:51, 13 April 2007

Re:Admin coaching
Hullo, Sceptre. You are a coach on Admin Coaching, am I correct? Well, I was wondering if you would be so kind as to be my coach..I'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance! Cheers! Zacharycrimsonwolf 13:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC) 05:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

The Evil of the Daleks
If you like Dalek stories, you should buy the soundtrack of this one. It's one of the best Doctor Who stories ever made. GusF 15:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Hazmats
I know what it's getting at, but not only are those costumes "hazmat suits", but the word hazmat is just speculation: it could equally be a gas mask or a spacesuit. Unless the BBC have used the word, it shouldn't be there. Regards,--Rambutan (talk) 15:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Re:Mail
I get notifications when I receive mail and I check it frequently, like most people do. I will see it in time and I don't need updates on my talk page, thank you. It gives me unnecessary orange bars and interrupts what I am doing. — Editor at Large(speak) 22:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Userpage
Hey Will, just to let you know I decided to delet the userpage you created for me. Thanks for the thought, and its nothing personal, I just really like the red link! Man, not havein' it was killing me! But I really liked the image you found, and I'm using it on my new redesigned minimalist talk page. Check it out if you want - I'd love to hear what you think of it. Thank you! Think outside the box 11:46, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Dating of Smith and Jones
I can see where you are coming and will agree to leave it for now, although 'if' by the end of the series it still fits in cannon with every other date given then i'd like to put it back, although a good test for it would be to wait until the last two episodes (which are suppost to be set after the Christmas episode) and see what date it says on the blog, or even if there is one at all. Thanks--Wiggstar69 14:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Have you ever considered putting {{User:Sceptre/music}} on Sharon's Soundtrack instead of [[User:Sceptre/music]]? — $PЯINGrαgђ 14:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Phaedriel/Soundtrack of Wikipedians div change
Sceptre, regarding that change... looks good, having divs in the headers struck me as not so good but I never bothered to fix it when I copied from the first page to make the next, and I suspect others did not as well. Would you consider doing the same to the rest of the pages (the books, tv, movies, etc)?? Thanks!

{{afc not}}
Please don't use this template for declining articles without further explanation. I've outlined my reasons at WT:AFC. Also {{afc attack}} and {{afc nonsense}} have been deleted at WP:TFD, in favor of simply removing the item from the page. Thanks. Part Deux 14:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Can you tell me what script that is? I'd like to use it - I recently had to remove most scripts from my monobooks because they stopped working. I can't even use Lupin's antivandal script anymore, and I have to revert manually. Part Deux 14:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

thanks
Hi Will, thanks for the well wishes. The wikibreak is actually due to medical reasons, though my declining wiki-activity beforehand is definitely stress-related. Thanks again. --Kyoko 15:59, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
you won't like hearing this
Will, you won't like hearing this, and you may not realise it, but your e-mails and messages are frequently hurtful, because they just add to the stress of people who have far bigger problems than you.
You may not have noticed, but a large proportion of your talk page messages and e-mails consist of complaints about things in your personal life. Venting once in a while is fine, and seeking a sympathetic ear is fine, but when it gets to be chronic, and continues despite repeated requests to give some space, it's no longer acceptable.
I've tried to dance around the issue in the past, but now I feel that I have to be blunt, because you don't seem to get it. I would prefer that you not leave messages on my page again, and if necessary, I will seek administrative action to enforce that. I would completely understand if you remove me from your friends list. I know that reading this is painful for you, and for that I'm sorry, but I have to protect myself too. --Kyoko 16:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
"personal attack"
Pointing out vote stacking is not considered a personal attack. Removing my messages from those talk pages is inappropriate. If you don't like the messages then bring it to the attention of an admin or the community at large, but do not remove them. -- Ned Scott 00:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Misc.
Interesting that last night Sharon and I went to bed at the same time but she went to bed later than I did. :P I guess that's what happens when you have friends scattered all over the whole world. ;)
When I acces your talk page, there are no edit buttons over the headings, and I have to edit the whole page from the top to say something. Is this a glitch in you header? — $PЯINGrαgђ 16:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

The thought never crossed my mind... ;-) SteveO 20:52, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- I can't have any complaints with the result. Liverpool weren't great (although Carragher was excellent), but we were average. And even worse at penalties. Surely the culmination of an exhausting season challenging on four fronts. SteveO 21:09, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- I bet you'd settle for a penalty shoot-out if Liverpool are 3-0 down at half time. Now that rings a bell... SteveO 21:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Now you've definitely jinxed it! SteveO 21:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- But surely not as long on the odds on Chelsea to beat Liverpool in a semi-final? SteveO 21:43, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Chelsea have beaten Liverpool in the cups fairly recently, but I don't recall any semi-finals. You even beat us in the semis back in 1965! We were going for the treble that year but ended up with just the League Cup. Now that rings a bell, too. SteveO 21:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Holding up
Good; very well. I'm preparing to take a wikibreak until the very early beginning of June (as in probably returning no later than June 5 or so), since I will be traveling a bit and when I'm home I won't be on for that long before I'm off again. I'm also contemplating coming to England for a little while ;) but it won't be for a long while. And if I wait long enough, I might be able to add some travel on the Continent and bring my daughter with me! That would not be for a few years of course. So I'll be stocking up on calendars. ;) — $PЯINGrαgђ 22:20, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
