Hello

Hi Sparrow. I was just looking at your Evolution vs. Creationism page. I think it's really cool that you started something like that. It appears things have died down for a few days now, but if things get heated again, I'll gladly jump in and help support you. I'm a long time anti-evolutionist/mega-creationist. I know what it feels like to have lots of editors opposing you at once, as you'll see on my talk page. I'll be watching your Evolution vs. Creationism, if you don't mind, and I think it's a cool thing you're doing with that page. =)Christknight 22:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

Whoops! I thought the infobox colors were for asthetic reasons. I didn't know they were color code. TNTfan101 01:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

HASHAHAHAHAH

it was funny!Planb11 01:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Well think of it this way

Everyone on the internet has seen that picture of the Ugly Girl face. Why not put it up there? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Planb11 (talk • contribs) 01:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

The discussion at talk:Face was intended to instigate a response and attempt to insert patently idiotic content to Wikipedia, please do not feed the troll. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 03:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. It was very nice of you to attempt to reason with him, but I'm afraid that any such attempts are wasted on this user. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 03:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

You are right. Bears are not "Godless Killing Machines"

Thanks for catching the "Bear" additions, my rebellious daughter created on my machine. She was having a bit of fun without knowing the value wikipedia has for all of us. I have discussed this "fun" with her and took your lead and directed her to the appropriate commenting sections.

Christianity (Nicene Creed)

I noticed you took part in the straw poll. Please visit the talk page to engage in the discussion, so we may build consensus. Vassyana 00:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Wrong template

The nn-warn template you added to speedy delete an article was the wrong one.. that one is used to warn a contributor that their article is up for deletion... it goes on a user talk page. The right one to use is {{db-bio}}, which uses messagebox style, and adds the proper csd category to the article. Jerry lavoie 03:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

nevermind... the user did it when he added the hangon... sorry. Jerry lavoie 03:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Cool, no worries. SparrowsWing _(talk) 19:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Last edit key

When you revert an edit, where is the last edit link that you click and then click undo from there? Wikipedian27 23:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

HotUKDeals article

Can you help me make this Wiki-Worthy? See the talk page. ;-) I can send you a scan of the computer active article if necessary...

Well the links in the "Media Attention" section are all links to the articles on the newspaper's websites where it was mentioned. I wasnt sure how to use the references Tags properly so I tried to just link to them that way...

Re: Removing a speedy deletion tag

I don't recall the exact guidelines about when you can/can't remove them (I prefer WP:IAR and WP:COMMON anyway), but in this case it looks like you added the tags, in which case I'd sure hope you're just as free to remove them. ;) {{hangon}} rarely actually saves a page, but when it does, I'm very glad we keep it around. – Luna Santin (talk) 00:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Surely you realize that the entire hybrids section of this article is unsourced. Ofcourse i know my own research into the matter shouldnt be added to wikipedia. But that definitive statement that the ridge gene is carried down needs a counter example. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by HawkShark (talk • contribs) 04:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC).

Userpage

You may want to keep an eye out. A certain fellow had a liking to abusing your page. Willie Stark 20:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know - will keep watch. SparrowsWing _(talk) 21:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

the page brandon schmitter was deleted and i was simply stating that someone vadalized and deleted it MCmustang51 03:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

It was deleted for a reason. Look at the deletion log. SparrowsWing _(talk) 03:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Ronald Reagan info removal

Sorry I just did that. A user added a picture, but it looked bad where he put it, and it was too large. I just narrowed it down, and moved it. In the process, I deleted a photo. I was just going to put it back before you notified me. Again, sorry for that. Happyme22 04:07, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

No worries - I didn't realise you were moving the pic. SparrowsWing _(talk) 04:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Proposal Pack

Why did you remove a page I was in the middle of working on for Proposal Pack? It's listed under business software. I also left a talk message on the page I was working on and didn't even get a chance to review it or finish working on the entry.

I did not delete your page. Check the deletion log. 00:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Personal attack

I'm sorry, but i have never even been to the mona lisa page-

i did not make those changes- but i suppose someone else did it on my computer! (i don't even have an anti virus program)

thank you anyway for taking the time to tell me i did something wrong (even if i didn't really) which shows you are a tireless contributor.
