Thanks for telling me about the image tagging thing. I'm very new to Wikipedia. I'll put the information for those images as soon as I can. And would you please vote for "Maria Lionza" for Collaboration of the Week? It's a very interesting topic that I really need help with the research. I think the research would be a more challenging task but it would be worth it because this is something that many people outside of Venezuela have never heard about. I myself found out about it while researching Venezuela for a research paper and I thought "I should start a Wikipedia article about this". I would love if others could help. But sorry for going off-topic there, thank you for telling me about that. - Stancel 29:52 Apr 28 2005 (UTC)
... on the prior "editor"'s well-intentioned change to Niagara Falls. (former Bostonian/Winchesterite)Sfahey 05:56, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The template I used was the one listed under "Copyvio for new users: Text" on Wikipedia:Standard user greeting. There are a bunch of other templates on that page (mostly the copy and paste kind). Andrew pmk 02:47, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the vandalism of Seven Wonders of the World. I've now protected it.
You marked ValueFirst Messaging as a copyvio. It seems it was written/copied by an employee of the company User:Shantanu . --Henrygb 20:54, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm glad that you like it. :) – ClockworkSoul 22:51, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Some idiot put a "pending deletion" tag on your user page. I deleted it for you. Cheers. Jez 03:30, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Good job! Lupo 14:03, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I was hoping not too many people would yell at me about that Pakenham Line thing. Hope to make a useful difference here sometime. :-) AidanSteele
I urge you to reconsider your vote based on this clarification. Thanks --Cool Cat My Talk 08:45, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Sorry babe, I didn't realize this stuff was posted to everyone, what a strange idea.
I was away for an hour or so when you posted your message, but I have just blocked him. Thanks for reverting vandalism. Academic Challenger 22:01, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the followup edit there. I reworded to fix grammar and readability up a little, but I have no actual knowledge of the path! So your input was excellent! And the page ended up getting two edits for the price of one. Musser 22:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Article RURAL MARKETS under VfD. The article has been redone by me – would you please take a relook? Thanks. --Bhadani 07:57, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thanks for the move sorry about that.
I believe I can provide you with what you want if you give me some time. Thanks, SummerFR 23:48, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
on the Jeb article discussion page. However, FYI, I did post an email response there that I received today from Gov Bush's spokeswoman, and I hope that satisfies you for now. Also, for the reasons I stated in my last response on the discussion page -- my belief that any lawyer will want to see how the photos are being used -- I intend to restore all photos as I had them, to enable those lawyers next week to see them on the page. I am asking that you leave those photos up for that purpose, since getting an answer is what both you and I seek, and I feel we will get an answer if they know what we are talking about. They will not know if you keep deleting the photos. In addition, I will later write to you a longer response on the discussion page of the Jeb article, outlining the reasons for a complaint I have about every single political and historical biography entry I have thus far read on wikipedia, and my complaint is this: there are not enough photos on those pages. There should have been more, and I will make my case about this. Consequently, in my view, as an educator and someone who wants to support the goals of wikipedia, the real problem here is not that I have posted too many photos, but that not enough photos have been posted on other wiki entries. That is something we can perhaps discuss more after you consider my reasoning, to come. Thanks, SummerFR 00:57, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for carrying the flag of NPOV and civility for now, BaronLarf. Like you, I hope that SummerFR comes to understand the workings of Wikipedia better. Her reluctance to go over Wikipedia policies before yelling "harassment" is certainly a concern. I just don't have time to be in the thick of it right now, I'm sorry. But I think you have been trying very hard to be a good Wikicitizen and I'll support you in formal proceedings if necessary. (By the way, SummerFR is a "she.") Oh, I was just wondering: SummerFR has mentioned that your user page used to say something about "trying to make GWBush articles neutral makes me want to scream." She takes that to mean that you want them to be anti-GWB. It sounds to me like you want them to be neutral, but you're surrounded by zealots on all sides, and so it's screamworthily frustrating. Am I right? FreplySpang (talk) 21:25, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Now some zealous user has nominated the blanked {{pfd}} for deletion. I'd appreciate if you weighed in. Thank You! — Xiong熊talk 04:17, 2005 Apr 24 (UTC)
You made the comment you felt justified. When I ask for another's comment, I don't insist it come from my mouth. Thank you. That said, I think you might try to see that TfD right now is pretty much a stronghold of deletionists, railroading template after template, ignoring all the finer points of process -- trying to improve the nominated item; giving it a chance to see if it works; speaking (as you did) directly and politely.
A blanked {pfd} is nothing much to fight over, but anyplace is the right place to stand up for sanity. In the black-and-white world of the deletionist fanatic, any "delete" is a delete, and finer points are ignored. Will you uphold the route you took, and work toward a more congenial atmosphere on TfD? — Xiong熊talk 05:04, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)
You misjudge me, Sir -- especially if you feel I don't appreciate your ability to disagree civilly. The pleasure is mine.
I do not think templates are central to Wikipedia, not in the sense that the content they provide is key to mainspace content. Templates are part of the engine that pulls the train, but they are no more interesting than the boiler room of the RMS Titanic -- at least, until they break, and the ship starts to list. Even so, the work done by a template is never essential; any user with a clipboard can copy-and-paste to his heart's content. Templates merely make work easier on humans. Since I am a toolmaker by birth and by trade, I naturally gravitate toward template construction. But I never fool myself into believing they are important in themselves.
However, the way in which templates are managed is disgraceful, and this is as good a place as any to get out the mop and bucket. TfD is a deletionists' haven, and the process is corrupt on several levels ranging from pure technical foolishness right up to outright defiance of our foundation issues.
There is plenty of work to be done around here and if this is not your cup of tea, I respect that. But we need members able to pull out the "stiff academic-speak with a whiff of fuck-you-sir" -- we need them desperately, so long as they remain intellectually honest. I should not like to see you absent from a strong moral position on due process within TfD. — Xiong熊talk 07:28, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)
Just looked over your user page. I have no idea what your position is on such things, but I assure you my use of the honorific is entirely gender-neutral. — Xiong熊talk 07:32, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)
FreplySpang, to you, too, as I just wrote this Baronlarf:
Freply, what passage are you talking about? I'm a new user at wikipedia but I haven't been testing with the discussion page.
Fuck off you motherfucking douchebag. I bet you're a member of the Order of DeMolay like Lucifer and Adolf Eichmann!
