Your contributions history shows that you have been aggressively cross-posting. Although the Arbitration Committee has ruled that "The occasional light use of cross-posting to talk pages is part of Wikipedia's common practice."1, such cross-posting should adhere to specific guidelines. In the past, aggressively worded cross-posting has contributed towards an Arbitration Committee ruling of disruptive behavior that has resulted in blocks being issued. Additionally, canvassing in an attempt to draw condemnation of a particular editor from people with a known membership or affiliation is a breach of WP:HARASS, and editors have been blocked for this behaviour in the past. Please do not engage in it in future. Orderinchaos 17:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to the Red Sox WikiProject! We are a group of (mainly) Red Sox fans who help to improve coverage related to the Boston Red Sox on Wikipedia.
Looking for somewhere to start? Here are a few suggestions.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the project in general, feel free to leave a message on the talk page.
Can we stop the "bullshit", and get on with writing articles for the homeschooling project. Im willing to put all the stuff between you, me and OIC behind us and move on. Ill avoid the last edit you made to my talk page as an error of judgement. So lets move on. Thanks. Twenty Years 03:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Why would you or I get blocked? We did absolutely nothing wrong, and frankly, I'm slightly pissed that anyone that calls themself an admin would blatanly delete content off of another user's talk page (repeatedly) without even a warning. I'm not quite sure I understand why we would get blocked. elisatalk. 14:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes Twinkle has Rollback and if you were savvy enough any user could write a javascript. My concerns are about the way Rollback has been implemented. Flagged revisions where reader and editor and administrators decide on the content on the page totally destroys the whole wiki. Pages will be tiered in a way that a casual reader can't alter what he sees to be false. Rollback grants are the first stage of making editors drones without them being part of the community. Rollback is a way of sifting the good from the bad in my opinion. BpEps - t@lk 01:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, sorry I meant to tell you that I started an archive page for all the newsletters which would all be in the form of templates. Like so: Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Kansas City Chiefs subproject/Newsletter and then a subpage for volume one (2008). Sorry I meant to tell you this earlier, but I figured it would be a good place to house them all. Sorry if it's confusing with all the redirects.

Hey, how are you today? I appreciate your contribution to Iron Man (film) regarding the film rating. However, the general consensus is that film ratings do not contribute much to the encyclopedic nature of Wikipedia's film articles. Unless there is coverage from third-party, published sources about a film's rating, the rating would be better off being found at the official website or at MPAA's website. Like Alientraveller indicated, it is not neutral to add details of American ratings to film articles when this is the English Wikipedia, not the American Wikipedia. In addition, even a full list of ratings for one film would not provide any historical insight. There are exceptions, of course -- some films are noted because of their ratings, such as Midnight Cowboy being the first X-rated film to win Best Picture, or Live Free or Die Hard being PG-13 after its predecessors were R-rated. In the case of Iron Man, unless there is uniqueness established in the film having its current rating, there is not much else that can be said in an encyclopedic context. Let me know if you have any questions! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, RC (can I call you that? Or should I use RC-0722? Or something else.) I think I need to be adopted. Other than using Wikipedia as a first source of quick (wiki-wiki is Hawaiian for quick) first line information about obscure and often arcane information, this part of it looks like a blog site. I'm pretty naive about terminology, so correct me as I go, please. I would like you to adopt me. I have read a lot of the entries about you, but am still vague about who, in the abstract sense, you are. Out of context, I mean. And context = this site. So, in a sense, I know something about you. What do you want to know about me? (Is this the way it goes, or am I way off base?)--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 03:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
That was fast! Yes, I accept. Thank you. --BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 03:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the invitation to inquire. Please ignore anything you do not wish to answer here.
Yes, the hour is late, and I apologize for keeping you up thus far. Get to bed and read this in the AM. I am in the Midwest so am one hour behind your CT time. I don't have a user page developed yet, but will do so, as time allows. I gather that all the information about you on your user page is correct and true. It's impressive. You are a Sophomore. Non-traditional student? If you have declared one yet, what is your major? It's now my bedtime, too. Mucho gusto de conocerle as Usted. Hasta manana. --BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 04:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Background info: While researching the topic CVT, Continuously Variable Transmission, in Wikipedia, I read a translation, either autmoated or otherwise, of a language cited in editing marks (which I didn't recognize). I tried to find the article, which is probably in Japanese, but couldn't. The article as written is understandable, but rather in Japlish. I thought I could help make the article read better by revising the text into American English, but would like to see the original Japanese. Hence, I filled out the requisite information and here I am. Still haven't found the article, but have been getting my bearings around Wikiworld. And that's helpful.
My native language is American English. As a child, I heard and could speak some Swedish (my mother was third, in order, of her sibship, and first to be born in the USA, after her parents and two older brothers immigrated, in the early 1900's). Spanish is my second language, and Japanese is my third. Every once in a while here in the Midwest, I hear smatterings of Swedish from passersby, or from old folks in communities that boast the title of "Swedish Capitol". They think I can't understand them!
My profession, i.e., day job: physician, pediatrics and urgent care. My night job, artist. I paint and sculpt. I have a studio in downtown Omaha and a website, if you are interested.
The reason I want to know more about you than is on your user talk page is that it would help me to know your level of education--knowledge and experience. Some of that is obvious from the way you write. And anyone who can craft Star Wars costumes can't be all bad! So, in addition to what you write, I know that you have considerable artistic talent and are pretty street-wise. Most traditional College Sophomores do not possess that level of savvy.
Gotta go now. Hope this hasn't creeped you out.--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 12:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC) PS: sorry about the spelling error in last post. I wastired and missed it.--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 12:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Just added: attempt at a User Page. Dull, I'm fraid.--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 13:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. It's now almost 3PM in Omaha. It was a pleasure learning that you meant Sophomore in HS, not college! I feel real good about that. I hope it's OK with you, too, to adopt me, knowing that I'm not in high school. I have a few things to do this afternoon, but will be back later. Looking forward to this. --BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 20:04, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Education and experience: pretty much how you apply knowledge. In ans to your Q, I meant elsewhere. It's obvious you know your way around Wikiworld, but I meant the non-virtual reality kind of savvy. (I had a few minutes before leaving.) Laters,--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 20:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Not sure what you mean by that, the scholar thing, but maybe you can help me figure out where the original article is for that section of CVT that describes the CONE CVT. I was able to pull up the EDIT BOX but unable to locate the Japanese for it. As I re-consider, perhaps it's German--both languages end the sentence with the verb. So y' have to wait until the speaker is finished to know the punch line. Can't tell without looking at the original article. This project is not a major gotta do for me, and I don't intend to occupy lots of your time with it. If you could describe the SEARCH PROCESS, i.e, how do I find the original language, it'd help.
On a personal note, I have been to Bridgeport and Rowayton. It's cold here, too!--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 23:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for catching that blank on my userspace. I appreciate it :). FusionMix 01:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
OK. That makes sense. You do sound like a scholar! I will worry about the original Japanese later; I went ahead and edited the article anyway--got rid of the Japlish. Let's see what happens. No doubt you have many contacts in Wikiworld. Thanks for taking the time with me.--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 02:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC) PS: Budgie was the name of our parakeets. Plural, parakeetS five of them, one after the other. Rather than having to learn a new name, we just re-used the old one. The parakeets didn't seem to mind. The second Budgie, known officially as B-2, had the talking gene. He'd pick up a phrase or word after hearing it only a couple of times. Truly amazing. Chan is the Japanese familiar diminutive for the suffix -san, honorable person. We didn't use the word Bird, but in order to get a user name and log on to Wikipedia, I had to adjust the user name multiple times in order NOT to duplicate what someone else was using. Imagine that!--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 02:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I keep coming back to your User Page and re-reading, checking the layout. And wonder: How do you get such a cool User Page? Like, you have small red print, columns of colored boxes with outrageous (some) statements, and neat stuff packed away. Are the instructions to such a canvas intuitive, or did you just mix and match? (I am not busy tonight! If you are, no reply necessary.)--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 00:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
. . . er . . . OK. I will have to play around with it, I see. Thanks! And again TNX for advice about talk page. I posted a wherezitat? for the Japanese article.

I have no such pedigree, regrettably. However, my wife is Japanese, also MD, Ped Anesthesiologist, retired shortly after we married. Now works for Miki International. a language services company in Tokyo. They send the Japanese, she returns it in English. Mostly medical, research, technical papers, occasional bilingual conferences. My job: honorable editor-in-chief of American English Language. Knowing some Japanese helps, since there is much that does not translate, but must be made up to convey the meaning of the message . . . this situation occurs both ways, fr Eng to Jap and Jap to Eng. We lived in HI for 18 years and she participates in a language school site, nacosnagaya.org, which is interesting if you know Jap Lang or are bilingual.

Hi, I'm so glad you are interested in FAC reviewing!! The Dispatch article that I linked on the WP CF page has the basic instructions on reviewing. The list of articles to be reviewed is at WP:FAC. There aren't any college football articles nominated at the moment, but for a new reviewer I'd recommend that you just pick an article that sounds interesting, read it, and take a stab at reviewing (again, see the instructions). If you practice reviewing now, by the time a CF article is nominated again, you'll be pretty good at it and ready to support or oppose ;) If you have any questions, ask me or leave a message at the FAC talk page. Thanks for volunteering, and I hope you enjoy it! Karanacs (talk) 15:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

OK about answer time. Sometimes what I write doesn't need answering. Just figuring out my way around here. It's not intuitive. Seem to be lots of non-sequitors. Like, the issue of scolding for editing something, accusing one of malicious intent and saboage. The recent CNN article about abuse attests to what I mean.
As I peruse the various User Pages which I see regularly, it appears that the most active are young men. Like yourself. One wonders about education level and authority, knowledge, documentation, responsibility and so on. The oldest I've seen so far is 41. If your family were prolific, I could be your great-grandfather, age-wise! Initially, remember, you said you hoped that your bgeing a sophomore in high school would not be a problem. I hope that being four times older than you won't be, either!
As for educational opportunities, and advantage re access to knowledge, the Wikipedia concept can give one a tremendous advantage--so much information (must be authenticated and documented!) is available at such a rapid speed, that your generation has a distinct advantage. My geneartion worried about premature sophisticaion. Your generation lives it! Please understand that I am an advocate of this entire concept. And I support wholeheartedly the ventures that you are doing. I endorse is en toto, even with the usual caveats. You know, cum granis salis and stuff like that.
What seems to be beyond that (what I've already mentioned) is the multiple listing of traits attributable to each user on his page. That rather surprises me. Guess it's the "reality TV influence." Does this make any sense?--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 00:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I had to wait a day or two before gurch sent it to me, although I have never downloaded it. - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 16:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
I commented on your question here. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
It was lovely to see a 'hello' and cookies. I wondered if there was some sort of community out there noticing the odd noodlings of newbies.
While I've got you, I'd like to ask, am I adding external links correctly? I added an external link to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_K._Van_Riper#Views_on_the_Iraq_War and I got a very nice superscript 1 and an icon and a working link. But nothing got added to the list of "external links" at the bottom of the page. Sherrold (talk) 04:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad you've joined. The team is still quite busy with its first mission, but we should be moving on to a new mission soon. Geometry guy 18:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I would like to invite you to consider taking part in the AGF Challenge which has been proposed for use in the RfA process by User: Kim Bruning. You can answer in multiple choice format, or using essay answers, or anonymously. You can of course skip any parts of the Challenge you find objectionable or inadvisable.--Filll (talk) 20:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Luis Gonzalez inspired the "Gonzo" part, I am a huge "fan" of his, and I graduated in "2007." Thus we have Gonzo fan2007. I personally like it ;-) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 02:43, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
This is an encyclopedia, thats a thing for storing knowledge. ID is the exact opposite of that being a lie designed to promote (christian) creationism. Thats the "opinion" of every expert in evolution not mine. (Hypnosadist) 22:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
---G.T.N. (talk) 00:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)== Philosophy ==
I've decided to stop talking with Filll, as it is just provoking him and won't do any good. But if you feel you must, I'm not gonna let you get the worst of this debate. Here's a few points: 1. Don't let him get on this whole preacher-told-you thing, I'm thinking you're not so stupid that all you know about philosophy/Christianity/creationism is what your preacher told you. 2. We disagree with the dating methods darwinists use in the first place, so ask him for non-c14-dating evidence (such as historical sequence-of events) if he wants to prove Hammurabi was older. 3. We don't have a problem with other similiar moralities, we see that as proof that there is one ultimate morality, something he has denied by saying that morality changes, but then he said how a lot of them are so similiar. 4. We think ours is oldest (although not in its fully revealed form), so other similiar religions ultimately have the same origin. 5. We disagree with his evolutionist ideas on a scientific basis, so don't let him try and say "science says this" unless he gives you scientific data that can lead to no other conclusion. 6. If we're all just products of evolution, how can we rely on our "rational" minds? 7. How is evolution not random? There is nothing behind to order it? 8. The human mind is unique in the first place. A mere advanced computer doesn't really recognize or contemplate itself as separate from anything. That's a leap evolution can't explain. 9. How did life start in the first place? Evolution can't account for that. 10. Don't say anything like "the Bible says so," or "everyone knows that." But my best advice is to just leave him alone. None of this is really going to change his mind or make him stop. In fact, it will probably just keep him like this for a much longer time. Once they get like this there's no stopping them by human means. Just let it die, and maybe something will happen to make him change his mind. If not, oh well. It's out of our hands. Besides, as long as we sit and argue, editing's not getting done. Well that's my long-winded advice on that. Hope everything goes well, and I'm praying for ya'll.---G.T.N.

Does 'semper fi' have anything to do with 'pick away'... per chance? Basketball110 03:46, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Is it OK to leave changes with VGChartz as a Ref.? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JNESS22 (talk • contribs) 21:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I have already. I have not seen any interesting counter arguments. There are others who do this at many other websites. I do not want to waste more time on this sort of silly and vain pursuit.--Filll (talk) 15:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I was trying to send you something, but Hotmail has gone wonky and keeps blanking my messages. I did type in the text box! Heh. To answer your question, not quite yet. Enigma message 16:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
You think you can take over writing the WikiProject homeschooling newsletter? - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 21:11, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't think McFadden will be too much of a problem if we stock up on defensive players like Dorsey and Flowers. We're definitely the story of the day for the Draft. Much excitement here in KC. This is the first day of our championship reign! conman33 (. . .talk) 23:01, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Can you re-add the category of Baltimore Ravens players, because if you look at the actual Baltimore Ravens players category he is not there, I would do it myself but I would most likely be blocked--Yankees10 19:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah but its not in the actual Category:Baltimore Ravens players, if you check--Yankees10 20:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Without sounding too cocky, I know I was right. The whole thing got way out of hand, and I'm trying to wash my hands of it. It's best for me to not stick my nose where it's clearly not welcome. Thanks, though. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 20:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, I'm doing fine. I usually tend to work on music and sport articles, at times also biographies. Pretty much, my main works goes into pointless stuff. Something I'd like to improve is my editing skills: I usually tend to take at least 3-4 edits for things that others may do in 1. Oh, another thing I like doing is voting for Afd (it's so much easier to remove than create :) ). I'm heading there now! Udonknome (talk) 20:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to, but I'm actually really busy with stuff most of the time. My college finals are this week, and once the school year is over, I'll be working full time. Maybe I can contribute every once in a while, but not a lot. Thanks for the offer! conman33 (. . .talk) 00:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I am aware of WP:HELP, that's where I'd like to link to this page. The problem with WP:HELP, is that new editors don't want to navigate through a bunch of pages to find something, and the Help Desk usually takes a while to answer a question (the Reference Desk is even worse). The point of this list is to be able to find some one quickly who is editing at the present time to allow for faster communication so the new editors don't get frustrated and give up and leave.

Do you want to write the homeschooling newsletter? - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 19:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Greetings RC-0722! I noted that you removed a category from this article, and upon checking the talk Page, found that there is no consensus as discussion is continuing, despite the presence of what appears to be third party sources in supporting this category.
Please do not remove this category until a consensus has been reached. Such deletions could be at least an attempt to push a POV, or could also be considered an attempt to vandalize.
Best of luck and happy editing! LonelyBeacon (talk) 20:42, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
A mediation case has been started on a topic you had commented on. Please see Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-05-05 Tyrell Johnson (American football) for more discussion on this subject. 67.137.0.28 (talk) 00:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about my edit to Texas, I was trying to fix vandalism. Samurai Cerberus (talk) 00:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi RC -- I don't know how carefully you read my last comment, or if I'm misreading yours; I just want to clarify you saw I was agreeing with you? My comment was also a response to Filll. You might want to clarify who you were responding to. Regards, Mackan79 (talk) 02:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Howdy, my adopter. Not sure why blocked is crucial but will go along with anything you suggest. I will accept co-adoption from Diligent Terrier, as long as that's OK with you.--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 17:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I was wondering if you would just consider leaving Filll alone for awhile. The pointless back-and-forth accomplishes nothing, and only leads to further animosity. For the encyclopedia to flourish, we need a community that can respect each other and work colloratively. It does not matter who is right or wrong. Fighting like that does not help foster that sort of environment. Mahalo, RC. --Ali'i 16:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I hope I didn't seem to imply that you were. -GTBacchus(talk) 03:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, long time no talk. How's burner? Is he going to come editing activly any time soon? Oh, and he said he's in high school, not college. -- RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 04:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Diligent Terrier has co-adopted me. Q for you: what is the conceptual relationship between adoption and being blocked? --BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 15:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the fixes. Do you have any comments on the FLC? Thanks, « Milk's Favorite Cookie ( talk / contribs) 19:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
RC, I understand the part about attacking someone on the basis of their affiliations constitutes a personal attack; I've seen that before. But I am not sure how that applies to this situation; could you clarify? And while you expressed a desire to end this discussion, it would seem to me that you would not want to leave me lost and confused, which I most certainly am now. It appears that you are saying that I attacked DT based upon her affiliations. Which affiliation, and where? I appreciate your guidance in this matter. Unschool (talk) 15:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Received, and I will action this for you, however it will be mid afternoon tomorrow Wikipedia time before I can review properly. Pedro : Chat 19:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you editing it quite a lot now. Do you mind helping me with the lead? I need one more paragragh so that I can get it closer to GAN..--RyRy5 (talk ♠ Review) 00:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you, RC, I now see a litle more through the confusion. Appreciate your forthrightness.--BudgieBirdChan0211 (talk) 01:12, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi RC; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 22:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I've been doing some work on this article, could you take another look at it and the AfD discussion? Thanks. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

In the adventure that many call life, one will meet many. Some of these will be like him, some will not. One must learn how to deal with the differences between he and the other. This is what makes people inferior to others: not intelligence, not race, not religion.

Keep WP:COOL - where have you been accused of trolling? Pedro : Chat 20:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Not at the moment, no. Maybe reading some other articles and seeing how they did their lead will get that lightbulb in your noggin to light up. :) I'll try to think of some myself in the meantime.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 02:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I saw some of your EL edits to Damon Huard and Tyler Thigpen and I wanted to let you know about Template:Footballstats. With this, you can add links to profiles and stuff on sites like ESPN a lot more easily. This is already in use at Peyton Manning#External links. You can add as many or as few as you'd like, but it's a nice way of linking multiple sites without having to write them all out in a player's EL section.►Chris NelsonHolla! 00:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
