I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --File:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 03:05, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh, well I hope you enjoy your time here, yes it can be very time consuming. --File:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 02:25, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Err, and sorry about reading the instruction after I posted... --Waterspyder 02:45, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, please make sure that you warn the vandal before listing them using {{test1}}, {{test2}} ect ok. If they persist, then you can list them at the Admin intervention against Vandalism. Oran e (t) (c) (@) 17:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Is that still necessary if someone else has warned them within the last week? I saw that another user had warned them up to test4 and they still had not desisted. --Waterspyder 17:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Its better to warn them again. At times, more than one users use a computer, so the other user may heed the warning and decist. Also, for AOL accounts, one IP address is shared by multiple users, so it may be a completely different person. Oran e (t) (c) (@) 17:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

This is something I was not aware of. Maybe an addition should be made to the instructions in that case. I took the time to make sure I checked the IPblocklist and follow all the directions. If the directions don't produce desired results, then maybe the directions need a tweak? --Waterspyder 21:24, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm deeply sorry about my mistake. I think I've restored all your changes (I hope) -- ( drini's _vandalproof page ☎ ) 19:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

It's okay, it happens. Just with the eidts you're doing in the section, be cautious about the information repitition that I was trying to sort out. Some things do not need the paragraph-long explanation it had before, and some things are just better suited under different headings.

Hey, Waterspyder. The article is looking good. I posted a couple comments on the talk page. Let me know what you think.  :-) --RobbyPrather 15:44, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Lupus contribs

Nice work! I see you are living with Lupus. We (my wife and I) feel your pain. I would like to discuss this with you. Do you have AIM, Yahoo or another chat service? Or you can send me an e-mail at mystar@chartermi.net --Mystar 16:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

Spent a lot of time re-working the Lupus erythematosus article, no-one else seems to be updating it much. Wondering if I could get an opinion and possibly some editing or proofreading.

WLU 14:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

WLU

G'day,

I think I'm about tapped out for Lupus work, I've reached the limt of my knowledge and anything more would probably require a significant investment in time just learning about it. I only started editing 'cause of House, then couldn't stop myself when I started cleaning it up. It's a drug, I'm addicted. That being said, I hear the siren call of more contributions bumping my edit count up, so if I'm looking for something to do I'll try looking it up. Thank's for the suggestions and I'm glad you approve.

Article on Matrixism: an Entheogenic Religion

There is an article on a entheogenic new religious movement called Matrixism being created at User:Xoloz/Matrixism. There are numerous sources for this article yet it has because contentious because it deals with the subject of entheogens. Thought you might like to look at it and perhaps contribute. 206.124.144.3 05:31, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Blac Chyna. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:10, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

I read the NinjaRobotPirate talk page correcting you about birthdates. Three years ago I was slapped down for adding a correct birthday to an actor article. I learned that truth and accuracy are not as important as verifiability. The Wiki world is so proud of its knowledge to the world but IMDb is a bad source. The one that really kills me is public records like birth and death certificates not allowed. Changing the acceptable rules is an impossibility. If you want to play the game you must follow the rules. Just so you know. Eschoryii (talk) 09
