What's vandalproof like? I'm thinking of using sometime in the future. (Reply at my talk page) Anonymous_anonymous_Have a Nice Day 10:12, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
(Personal attack removed) I didn't do anything, my server gives me a new IP address everytime I log on, stop bothering people who didn't do anything and are just looking up various recipes for caramel. Go back to your little Wiki world and try to figure out how to undo vandalism with these kinds of servers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.229.241.180 (talk • contribs)
I see, I was unaware that this was a violation. I was showing my friend, whose page this is, how to create user boxes, using two as examples. But if this is a violation, then I shall have to find some other way. Thankyou —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lofty (talk • contribs)
Shall remember that in future. Thanks, these rules and regulations! I never know where I am, especially with this copyright business! ;-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lofty (talk • contribs)
Right, I see. Thanks for that! Another piece in the wikipedia behavior jigsaw ;-] - Lofty 11:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
If the link I placed in there for the United Racing Company is inappropriate, then the links for all the other sprint car organizations should be removed as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.29.74 (talk • contribs)
Chris, Saw that you had changed my edit on Arnold Gehlen. The link to NSDAP I think is confusing to the average reader, although it is technically correct. I think that people who were Nazis or were sympathizers with them should be clearly identified. Why go with the acronym that confuses the issue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.238.137 (talk • contribs)
Thanks Chris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.238.137 (talk • contribs)
I'm impressed at your ability to not get miffed at being accused of racism, while still defending yourself and representing your position well. I am glad Wikipedia is professional enough to maintain standards without being scary and administrative. I actually placed those POV tags as a joke, commenting on the fact that they are often placed almost unnecissarily by people being too anxious to cover their own a**es. I'm glad you didn't get testy and were even willing to accomodate my recommendations as long as they were well founded. Wikipedia is one of the best things about the internet, and I spend hours researching random things (if you can track my IP you'll see I researched X-Men, Wal-Mart, and Howard Bellamy all within 24 hours of eachother) as a way to pass the time while educating myself. I got annoyed, however, at the willingness of administrators to place POV tags on articles which will obviously cause some controversy (notably the "criticisms of Wal-Mart" page. Most debate is even over semantics! (see the abortion talk page). Therefore, I thought it would be humourous to place POV tags on subjects that one could not possibly be not neutral on. You cannot tell me you didn't smile when seeing that the neutrality of an article on armadillos was being disputed. As if people are opinionated on the subject of armadillos! I wanted to test Wiki's reaction to someone accusing innocent articles of being non-neutral, and I found it to be satisfactory. Thanks for putting up with my mischief and I hope you maintained a good sense of humour. I also hope I'm my IP isn't banned for picking on you and playing an innocent joke, but examining Wiki's policy I can see that they are reluctant to resort to such draconian action unless someone is being blatantly disrespectful to the accepted rules. I'm glad a community like this was formed for the purpose of spreading information, and look forward to seeing it expanded. You can see to it that I will register and be productive as the joke has worn off, though I can't promise to give up a golden opportunity for genuine humour when I see it. I hope I didn't tick you off and ruin your day. Good luck at school (you and I are in the same year) and thanks for keeping it clean! 71.28.191.109 21:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)(aka Jarrod Lipshy soon to be user "J-Rod" if it is available)
Hi. I recently added some "commercial" links to a few pages but have since registered an account. I don't quite agree with the reasoning behind removing my links and thought I would bring that up for discussiion:
I added a link to the "Sparco" page, to a genuine resource for where customers anywhere in the world can purchase Sparco products. How this can be classes as non-relevant I don't know because people researching the Sparco brand would in most cases be very happy to be informed where they can purchase these products as they are not usually available in high-street stores.
The same applies to the BME E30 link. again the link I submitted was a direct link to Tuning products for that vehicle. Many of the other external links to "Clubs" or "Communities" contain lots of links to commercial sites, which in my opinion is no different to providing a direct link for those people that wish to purchase tuning products, or simply know what tuning products are out there.
Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by F.Rizzo (talk • contribs)
Thanks for your reply. I can see where you are coming from and I also realise there have to be some guidelines. However all in all I don't think you should promote some commercial businesses but not others. Sparco, for example, is a brand. They have products manufacturered for them and sell them on. This is no different to any other commercial business. —Preceding unsigned comment added by F.Rizzo (talk • contribs)
No problem. Sorry my second post was really just ranting on. I do understand your reasoning and thanks for your replies. All the best. --F.Rizzo (talk)
I'll removed the autoblock, but for testing I suggest you use test.wikipedia.org rather than here. --pgk(talk) 20:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
YTMND backlinks--since you seem interested, there's a zillion of these around Wikipedia. emk
Hey Chris -- I'm new to Wikipedia, I guess, so I'm not really sure how to "contact" you through this contraption, but I'll add this here.
My History teacher likes to get his info from Wikipedia. No matter how many morally upstanding crusades patrol the grounds, no-one can keep Wikipedia safe as long as it is free to edit by anyone. So it's not really right of him to get stuff from an unstable site like this, right? Yeah, I thought I would let him know by popping in a little thing saying hello.
I don't know.

Hey Crazycomputers, your tool looks quite impressive; however, I'm concerned that some features of it do not conform to the bot policy. I'm gueussing this is your "sniper" feature:
Typically anyone editing at a rate faster than on edit per 30-60 seconds is deemed in violation of this bot policy, so I think you may want to consider setting a delay timer when you edit in this fashion, lest you or any of your users be blocked for violating the policy. (I've had to take similar precautions with VandalProof.) Thanks. AmiDaniel (talk) 09:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Crazycomputers! Thanks for your message. I think that you should not have reverted my change in the page List of guitar-related topics. There is several lists of guitarists with the same names on different pages (at list 5 or 6 lists…) I am trying to reorganize the lists. I am also building the guitar portal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Guitar and the guitar template http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Guitar.
Here's some stuff I don't feel qualified to make a judgement on:
Band members: The Ethel Captain Dan Splashback 3Hats Band: Visually Impaired Placenta
This appears to be some sort of surrealist band with a site in free web space. Samples:
Google hits for "Visually Impaired Placenta"
This looks like a case of db-band (combined with a touch of nonsense), but I don't feel really feel comfortable applying that standard myself. emk 12:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I thought what I posted on the Stormfront article was true. I can post my sources. Everybody knows white nationalists like playing the game "Who's in my mouth?" I'm not lying, one of them told me. Please tell me why you removed a post that stated basic fact? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.172.175 (talk • contribs)
What mischief? I'm a respected contributor, just look at some of my edits to Thomas Robb. I'm a certified expert on White nationalism. Just search "Who's in my mouth?" and stormfront.org on google and you'll find at least a hundred matches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.172.175 (talk • contribs)
Thanks for catching that vandalism on "High Council of B'nei Noah." Hanoachide
On second thoughts, yes, I agree. At first glance it looked to me like multiple ips. Thanks for the heads up. -- Longhair 16:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Dear Crazycomputers
I would like an explanation as to why you think the edit on Noor Leghari is unhelpful. If the content provided by the contributer of the article is incorrect then as per Wikipedia rules anyone can get the record straight. By constantly editing the edit does not make the matter in the article correct or up to date. If you notice the conversation with the previous editor a colleague of yours and myself and then further between the contributor and myself you will note the reasons given for my edits and also proof to the contrary was requested. To date no such proof or valid argument has been brought to light. So before you play in to the hands of the contributor or anyone else it is vital that you get to the bottom of this. I assume you have had complaints from sources on the content but there is no valid reason to keep reverting the said article. I am assuming of course that there is fairplay on Wikipedia.
I would be grateful if you would kindly dig a bit deeper in to the numerous conversations and the history of this article before editing again.
thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.92.54.102 (talk • contribs)
In Spain there is the offial name translation into 2 languages which actually are not languages of Spain (i.e. occitan and asturianu). It doesn't make sense that info in the article... why don't write translations into arabic or german? There is many ppl who speaks that languages in Spain (Andalusia and Balearics), but are not offical languages. That's the reason why I deleted'em. --83.44.102.110 21:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I'd love to see what you've done so far with VandalSniper, as one of my favorite languages is C#. I was actually kicking around something like this in my head a while back, but looks like you got to it first :). I've got a couple ideas I might be able to implement. You wouldn't have to make the source public; you could just use the Special:Emailuser/Supadawg feature. I was approved to use VandalProof, but I ended up using popups instead, since it didn't work quite right under WINE. Supadawg (talk • contribs) 15:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
As of my edit regarding the simpsons, I believe it was correct. In the movie trainspotting, as the main character was going through withdrawals from heroin, he saw the baby who died crawling on the ceiling, and turning its head 180 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.82.60.117 (talk • contribs)
