I'm concerned that South Park, while formerly quite badass, has been jumping the shark as of late. Post your thoughts.

Chilean coup of 1973

Please see my question at Talk:Chilean coup of 1973. You left one sentence in a weird state, I'm not sure what you meant it to be. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:59, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)

Good edits to this article. VeryVerily 10:11, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I liked your discussion on Anti-Americanism, even though I utterly disagree with you on most points. You are an American, and you have the luxury of all the benifits that implys. The disadvantages include never really understanding another point of view, especially those of small people, and small nations, caught up in conflicts between the Big Boys such as yourself. You have that luxury, and the luxury to indulge in it. We do not. Fergananim

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Misplaced Pages's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Page move

Trey, when moving pages, please don't forget to fix redirects. The instruction is usually right before your eyes when a move is completed. Just click the button. Mikkalai 05:33, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Trey, we generally do not move the articles from one correct version to the other just because someone doesn't like the British English. Before you yet again try to move the Collectivisation in the USSR article, please read the Misplaced Pages:Style#Usage_and_spelling guideline.

Reverting

Trey, when you are going to revert a page, please check the version difference and scroll down to the end of comparison in order to check the whole text, so that you will not kill other edits, irrelevant to conflict. In the middle of edit wars some other innocent editors fix typos and do other useful job, often lost amid the reverts and re-reverts. 17:56, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Khmer Rouge

Your recent edit was quite a big one, really.

It said: "There have been allegations that the U.S. and the United Kingdom supported the Khmer Rouge after their downfall because of the recent Cold War battle in Vietnam. Australian journalist John Pilger has accused the Reagan and Thatcher administrations of propping up the Khmer Rouge in Thailand. U.S. President Reagan had publicly condemned the Khmer Rouge as having caused the death of one-third of Cambodia's population, and opposition to the new regime was not limited to the Khmer Rouge; however, the organization did play a significant role in resistance against the Vietnamese-backed Heng Samrin government."

Now it says: "There have been allegations that the U.S. and the United Kingdom supported the Khmer Rouge after their downfall because of the recent Cold War battle in Vietnam. Australian journalist John Pilger has accused the Reagan and Thatcher administrations of propping up the Khmer Rouge in Thailand. It should be noted that U.S. President Ronald Reagan had publicly condemned the Khmer Rouge, and that opposition to the new regime was not limited to the organization. However, the Khmer Rouge did play a significant role in resistance against the Vietnamese-installed Heng Samrin government."

I don't think phrases like "it should be noted that" are good in an encyclopedia. But more important, you have omitted the context in which Reagan condemned the Khmer Rouge. Could you please restore that? --] 00:55, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I was tentative over whether the issue of possible U.S. support should be added in the first place, but it's fine if that gets restored for now. J. Parker Stone 02:38, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

TDC Email

TDC <at> dodgeit <dot> com that is my email TDC 04:29, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)

I deformatted the email adress so that the evil spammers won't find it. Hope you don't mind. BrokenSegue 04:55, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Stand tall

Stand tall against leftist bullying. Ollieplatt 06:58, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Personal attack

Please do not engage in personal attacks. After taking a quick glance at what you reverted, I definitely see where you're coming from, but please try and make your point without insulting other users (eg. calling them jackasses). Thanks for your understanding and anticipated cooperation. You'll get your point across a lot better if you just state the facts. See you around! -Frazzydee|✍ 03:08, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Well I appreciate your sympathy. If you ever have the spare time, feel free to help me in this anti-Castrosanitization campaign. J. Parker Stone 03:09, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
