Don’t just type the word "Cockaygne" in the description of your edit if your not going to edit the article in anyway to show the familiarity between it & B.R.C.M., otherwise, its just spam. Secondly, don’t call my changes vandalism because I call you out on your little cockaygne. If I had'nt, you would have completely ignored my edit, thus your only reason for reverting it was just to get back at me. Please contribute to articles appropriately in the futer, Thank you. 69.250.130.215
We could post TfD and CfD notices for the templates and categories and link them to the central discussion at AfD. Massive effort there... ~ trialsanderrors 07:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
This AfD was amended to include Orca aircraft, a related fictional unit to the article in question. Please comment that you do or do not support the deletion of this article is as well, as your comments to the discussion were before this was added. Kevin_b_er 05:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
FYI, I still don't think you have it quite right on Les Horribles Cernettes. Between 1990-1992, I believe the httpd web server software did not have the capability to transmit binary images like gifs (only text/html); this capability did not come about until content-types based on MIME started being put into HTTP headers, the potential format of which was discussed on Usenet throughout 1992. It's hard to verify, but TBL's HTTP "daemon" software, as of approx June-September 1992, did not even attempt to serve binary files. If you look to the change log for the server and the libwww library, you will see that binary and MIME capabilities were officially released in March 1993, and the binary-serving code was buggy up through late 1993.
The images that TBL refers to in early versions of WorldWideWeb are files being downloaded via FTP links within the text, as the early web mixed-and-matched HTTP links (which were hypertext only) with FTP files and gopher links. Incidentally, the image files were not displayed in any sense with the browser but downloaded and opened by the NeXT operating system with the default image viewer.
So the bit you cite as debunking the claim, doesn't per se. de Gennaro's claim that it was the first "clicked on" in a browser may be his mistake in describing it. The likely truth is that, like it says in the Wired article, TBL was writing one of his first tries at the MIME and/or binary handling code in 1992, and one of the images used for test was the first binary image served directly over the HTTP protocol - which is indeed trivial. Hey, it's just fun. KWH 06:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bwithh, just wanted to let you know that The Inquirer has published a new article directly attacking you. Dionyseus 13:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey Bwithh, can you do me a favor and run a Factiva search on "economic totalitarianism"? Interesting AfD going on there and for some reason Berkeley doesn't subscribe to Factiva, so I can't check it. ~ trialsanderrors 22:04, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Can you please look at the Maureen Lipman talk page. Sources have been updated. If your satisfied, can you please update the article. Linesman 17:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
I think the best option would be to start a new one on the talk page. The current discussion has had no new contributions for a week. It is also narrow, as it only gave the option for moving it to "High technology industries of Bangalore". If you create a new discussion, then you can give all the options for a new name, and people can discuss that. Once the discussion has narrowed it down to one, then you can add it back to WP:RM. --liquidGhoul 05:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I have reversed your move of the Critical Mass article. I don't agree that the article needs disambiguated, but if it is to be the move needs to be preceded by discussion as to an appropriate disambiguation term. I have started such a discussion on the Critical Mass talk page. Thanks, --JeremyA 23:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I saw your comment on the baseball entrance music AFD page and would like to reassure you that I will, as one of the larger contributors to that page, do the necessary fact-checking should the article be kept. I'm only waiting for the thumbs-up from the larger Wiki community as I wouldn't want to do all that work just to see it deleted a few days afterwards. Like you had indicated in the comment, I hope you will vote to keep with this in mind. (Sorry for the below-the-line mixup.) SliceNYC 00:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bwithh, I note your recent addition of a {heaven} template to the article on Mictlan. Per some reasons I've sketched out at the article's talk pg, I don't really see that it is accurate to describe or categorise Mictlan in such a way. I think that Mesoamerican pre-columbian traditions and belief systems are rather different from those which have such a concept, and the idea is not really transferable. If you've some particular reasoning for including Mictlan in such a way, would be happy to see them at the article's talk pg- but otherwise, I think it should be removed. Regards, --cjllw | TALK 02:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Could you weight in at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Hipocrite? If you don't want to, I fully understand. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:34, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Ah, well, History21 has been proven to be a sockpuppet, so it's all moot anyway. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks...sort of. I was wikifying the article when you made the edit (and was going to add the tag after), so unfortunately, I had to start over with that (if I had just copied and pasted under your {NPOV} tag, someone's Bot would probably undo my edit)... Still, thanks. :) It's always nice to have someone backing you up. 66.229.160.94 01:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
UKPhoenix79 has cited several independently sourced product reviews in magazines, to demonstrate that the products satisfy the WP:CORP criteria for products and services. Please revisit the discussion with an eye to determining whether the WP:CORP criteria are satisfied by these published works (and any others that can be found), and thus whether fixing the article is a matter of cleaning it up using sources other than just the advertising and press releases put out by Bose itself, rather than deleting it. Uncle G 12:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I must confess to being stumped. Why is Auf Wiedersehen, Pet linked as a "see also" article to this song? BigHaz 23:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Given that it happened two months ago, I don't think that it's wirth really pursuing. I wanted to clear up that User:Aloffermn wasn't really involved in what HighwayCello thought. I'm kind of sorry that it snowballed from there. — TKD::Talk 22:58, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Ethnic stereotypes in American media has been renominated for deletion here. Since you originally voted on the article's AFD, please vote again on its second AFD page.--Dark Tichondrias 05:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Apologies for the time taken to reply...I've taken a look at the debate again. IMO the source is fine with me at its size, and I do not think it needs to be exceptionally hype for its inclusion into Wikipedia. Furthermore, the 50,000 circulation in the original argument for deletion to be honest is a bit flimsy to me, so my local's tabloid (of 5 million people) is only 100,000 and the largest bussiness paper in my country a mere 30,000. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 11:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you. As editor who has probably done the most on that article, I really do appreciate the totally unexpected GA nom (especially because I do have hopes for it as an FA one day. But not now, I still consider it incomplete, in need of some more images and research). Daniel Case 06:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm responding to a comment you left in an edit summary. You wrote: "Taking out "booming" for NPOV balance. if the city is hit by recession, would we be introducing it as a "small city in economic decline"?)" I agree with your edit, but I also feel that the answer to your question would be "Yes." Since all city articles, in my opinion, are in part current event articles, then the current state of the city is a completely valid issue to be addressed. I do also feel that if the city is experiencing considerable economic growth, that a statement regarding that growth is also valid. - Zepheus <ツィフィアス> 16:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I tried to rewrite the article and actually include information about the research he's done that makes him noteworth. In addition I took out all the Beavercruft that doesn't really belong in Wikipedia. Never took my HASS classes too seriously, so there may still be writing issues, but I think it's much closer to a worthwhile Wiki page now. --- The Bethling(Talk) 02:13, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

My heartfelt thanks for your diligence and sharp eyes. You put them to great use investigating and cleaning up the fraud on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Nguyen (Second Nomination) and the related article. William Pietri 02:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC) |
I'm going to remove the DRV later today since there is already a new AfD up and running (see link above). Since you commented on the DRV you might want to move your comment to the AfD. Oh the beauty of Wikipedia process... ~ trialsanderrors 18:45, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
The injustice of it all! As a 3rd year I was 4th in the ballot so had a great room in Nevile's Court. The damned scholars are taking over ;-) Thanks for correcting the ramblings on an old(ish) man. edit summary Alunwyn 17:40, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
What do you think? The nominator has a track record, but the other Relist voters (other than TexasDex who seems legit) all start with Relist. with a period but without the bullet point, and all have sketchy contribution records. Enough for a checkuser? ~ trialsanderrors 20:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I was glancing at deletion review, and saw you pondering if you're the only person who treats "no-consensus" closes as an automatic re-list flag. You aren't. I treat them that way too. Or at least I did back when I was active. 'Course, I'll relist things after keep closes I thought were kept for flat-out wrong reasons, too. The Literate Engineer 06:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
I am torn on the subject of an RfC over the incident. I have been happy to see the response to the DRV, and it appears that there is broad consensus that the closure was wrong. I don't feel any need for revenge. At the same time, I am disturbed by the same pattern of responses that you have commented upon. I'm particularly disturbed by the behavior over the DRV notice I left per instructions. I think I'll continue to mull the issue, but I will definitely let you know if I decide to pursue an RFC. I will point out that it is not entirely my decision -- anyone is welcome to start an RFC on the matter whether or not I decide it's worthwhile to do so. If asked to participate, I would do so. Any offense is an offense against the community moreso than it is an offense against me. Erechtheus 23:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
I am the artist that this article addresses. I don't care whether I have an article on this site or not, but apparently at least one fanatic does. I don't challenge deleting the article so much as I suggest blocking the account of the user. After actually reading the article, however, I propose that it be changed. There are some things that Qabbalah wrote about me that are not completely true and some notable things that were left out. Also, there's some personal information posted there that I prefer not to be accessable to the public. How did he get my wedding photo? I certainly agree that the pages dedicated to my albums ought to be removed or merged. The same with Cafe Graffiti which was not notable except, perhaps, as a side note. I will be happy to change it myself, but I don't know how so you'll have to bear with me as I learn.
Not that this matters, but.. RE: WP:MUSIC, There are two "notable" credits - 1. I toured South America and Mexico with Elegant Machinery - 2. I have been played on "Alternative" stations owned by Clearchannel (Something I regret, but it qualifies) Also - It is important to note that I have sold enough copies of my first two albums to earn a gold record, but I refuse to join the pathetic agencies that masquerade as unions, so I don't qualify.User:TonySReed
I saw your "shout-out to another verbose nominator" at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/B. Volkan Yucel, but I'm not sure whether I should feel flattered or chastised. ☺ "Shout-out" is usually praise, but "verbose" is usually criticism. Maybe my penchant for making robust cases for unpleasant actions (like deletion) earns both? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
What is your basis for declaring WP:NFT an established guideline? Looking at the talk page, I see at least four editors in recent discussions who say it should remain an essay (an opinion I share), and only one or two who think it should be considered a guideline. I don't really see consensus either way. Just curious about your thoughts. Kafziel Talk 15:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for leaving your comment. In hindsight, perhaps WP:SNOW was not proper to cite (I suppose I was avoiding the inevitable snowballing argument between people who already voted in a recent AfD). I cannot say I think there is a specific time that should be waited between AfDs, but my instinct tells me anywhere from 90-180 days seems more appropriate to wait then a mere 30.

Just for your own interest, there are differences between mecha and powered armor. Mecha is a machine with legs that is driven or piloted by someone (similar to driving a car or piloting an aircraft) while a powered exoskelleton (aka Power Armor) is worn. Lengis 22:02, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to the article for Marko Norac. For what it's worth, I'm not the one who removed the AFD tags from previous. I didn't even know they'd been there before. My edit and attempt to make the article neutral was in hopes of not seeing it deleted again completely, but to encourage others to keep the article neutral so wouldn't be deleted in the first place. In all due respect, how do you still see it unneutral or having weasel words? It would be my pleasure to make the article what it should be and I encourage others including yourself to do so.
Thanks again and please feel free to check out my contributions to the article for public access television. DavidWJohnson 19:12, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm not laughing. I'm just calling things as I see them. I've studied the precedents for the various sex moves, and I'm just applying precedent. I'm new here, so if I'm wrong, then so are the precedents. I don't understand what's so funny. I also work on new pages patrol, and I apply the rules as I understand them. I've also been working heavily on Mindy Kaling. Maybe I'm not as savvy as you are, having not been here as long, so if you would like to give me advice, I'm open to that.

Just a heads-up, User:Serpent's Choice did an extensive rewrite of Transformation Story Archive after you voted on the AfD for it. Does it satisfy your concerns? Bryan 18:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
You don't have to agree with me. But I wasn't trying to fool you. I have already told you that, so no more accusations, ok? PT (s-s-s-s) 23:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't think Parsssseltongue deliberately misled you - there is a clear statement further down in the conversation you started here. I should point out I'm not an admin either as you seem to have assumed this here. Cheers, Yomanganitalk 00:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
