A City Warning

why'd you delete A City Warning? They meet WP:BAND. They have a RECORDING CONTRACT therefore they are notable. Afd if you must. City warming (talk) 12:36, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Menu thing...

Thanks. I assume anything we find on Wiki is ok to use on Wiki given the licensing. I thought you had something pretty cool, especially the links to the statistics. I'm still not sure how it all works. The bottom three icons are a mystery to me. Thanks again for fixing it. Readin (talk) 14:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Jeffpw issue

Noting that you had blocked him for civility issues arising out of edit-warring, I thought maybe you might want to take a gander at some rather uncivil statements made in both article edit summaries (1), article discussions (2) and his user talk page (3, 4) before accusing me of harassment (5, 6, 7, 8) . I think maybe he's just having a 'wrong side of the bed week', but the comments seem to have moved beyond simple dissent and straight on the uncivil and personal attack side. Your thoughts? - Arcayne () 17:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Tyndale University College & Seminary

I reverted your edits in regards to this organization. It's not a full University, and thus doesn't qualify for inclusion where you've tried to place it. That's why places likes University College of the Fraser Valley aren't listed for example. GJ (talk) 05:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

That doesn't matter. It's a purely religious institution and has the name "College" as well. GJ (talk) 05:59, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Still not a University. Saying so doesn't make it one. GJ (talk) 05:17, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Your evidence doesn't mean anything. It's just peacockery. Tyndale and the other one are only religious seminaries. Nothing more. GJ (talk) 05:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Your insistence that they are Universities is clouding your judgment. You cannot turn a rabbit into a hen. GJ (talk) 05:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not listed here. GJ (talk) 06:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I can't access that article. You should know that a site that requires registration isn't acceptable as a source. You're an admin. You should know better. GJ (talk) 06:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

The brief part I did read said "university college status" meaning... NOT A FULL UNIVERSITY. GJ (talk) 06:17, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Granting a degree != University. Ontario Colleges too award degrees. GJ (talk) 06:19, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I mean this in the nicest, best possible good faith way. The page wouldn't load. GJ (talk) 06:32, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I got it to load. We have conflicting reports. One link says "university status" another says "university college status." I suggest we take this discussion to the List of Uni in Canada talk page so we can invite others to talk about it with us. GJ (talk) 06:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

What constitutes an edit vs. a revert

Just a question about 3RR.
1) If I edit text (not an undo) that had been stable for days, on a page and
2) another editor reverts my edit. (that editor had not made any edits to the page in several days)
3) I later revert his edit.

Is my first edit considered a revert? (#1 above)

Main Page

Could you please change the main article's featured article image to Image:Tikse monastery.jpg since this image is clearer, less blurry, more appealing and shows the same subject. Thanks. Nikkul (talk) 04:08, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Jesus

Hello, the edit-warring has resumed. FYI. Avruchtalk 23:30, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh well, just remember, no good deed ever goes unpunished ;) --B (talk) 04:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello- thank you for protecting the page. However, you've done so on a bad version- Juanholanda had recently added some OR material which, while being a valid assessment, is sourced only to scripture (and therefore can be considered to be unsourced in the manner presented). This isn't pressing, but Juanholanda is endorsing only one viewpoint (as you could probably see, he continues to deny the ambiguity of the word commonly translated as "brother"- a word which, even in English, has several possible meanings.--C.Logan (talk) 06:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

China

I see. Sorry for not informing you. If you see fit to protect it again, please do. bibliomaniac 1 5 19:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Unprotection request

Since you protected the page, I thought you should be aware that I have requested unprotection for Jesus. Thanks! Vassyana (talk) 06:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

05kinjac

Hi. You offered him a conditional unblock. Since then I have been in discussion with this user, mainly on his talk page. I wondered if you could come and leave a message clarifying some things. The user appears to think that as he has moved house, he is allowed to create a new account, I have explained that this is block evasion, but the user disagrees. I am not sure what course of action should be taken on the new account, or existing. Thank you. Tiddly-Tom 15:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

User:07kinjac - nuff said ;) Tiddly-Tom 19:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. A if he hadn't put the helpme tags on his page, probably would have not noticed ;) Tiddly-Tom 20:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

The user appear to have comply changed. He has been spending quite a bit of time expanding the article as requested by yourself. He is very civil and thrives on the advise I have given him for improvement for the article. He has placed another unblock request on his talk page. Please could you look over the changes and review his block. Thank you. Tiddly-Tom 19:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for you time and understanding! pedro gonnet - talk - 04.01.2008 09:39

Regarding Republic of China article

Hi,

I made some changes to the article called "The Republic of China" to make it more politically neutral. I understand that trying to call Taiwan a country is your poilitical position, but according to the rules of The Misplaced Pages, the articles here should be neutral and impersonal. Most of the countries (at least 170 out of 190) recognize Taiwan as a part of PRC and the Republic of China as history. So please, respect the opinion of International community and my time also.

Thank you, Anmiol (talk) 14:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent unblock

Nat:

Please know that I’m not trying to antagonize you in any way, but I am concerned about your recent lifting of the block of Pedro Gonnet, especially the edit summary where you wrote that admin B had used “a punitive measure rather than a preventive measure”. I’ve looked at it, and I can’t see how you’ve come to that conclusion, or why it is that you unblocked Pedro (and please note, I am not asking for you to overturn your unblock). Pedro has been here over a year, and just recently filed a 3RR report himself , so it isn’t that he’s unaware of the policy.

Sometimes I’ve seen people unblocked from a 3rr block with a summary along the lines of “User promised to be good”, but I don’t see him doing that here at all. Oh, in fact, as I’m in the middle of composing this note, I see that Pedro has gone right back to edit-warring on the page, making the same edit he was blocked for reinserting: .

I wouldn’t even bother you with this, but I’m concerned that in the area of Israel/Palestine edits, both sides need to be treated equally, otherwise it just ratchets up the tension. Thanks for your attention. IronDuke 16:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
