Hi, your bot was vandalazing contents of the aspartame table, changing (CC()=O)C(N(CC1=CC=CC=C1)C(OC)=O)=O into (CC()=O)C(N(CC1=CC=CC=C1)C(OC)="O)="O. Cacycle 23:21, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I'll look at the code before running it again. Guanaco 23:24, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I disabled the code that inserts quotes, since it really isn't necessary. That fixed the problem. Guanaco 23:36, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Guanabot on nn:

Guanabot created a bit of havoc on the page nn:Eple -- please review its user discussion page on Nynorsk Misplaced Pages (esp. concerning the skanwiki section, which Guanabot emptied) and after-edits on the article nn:Eple before continuing any work on nn:. Also, please provide a link from Guanabot on nn: to a user page (like, e.g., this one) where you can be reached if other problems arise. Thanks :-) -- Olve 03:39, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks, Guanaco, for your confidence in me. Your support vote on my adminship nomination is appreciated. — mark ✎ 22:40, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Mike Garcia

Evening. I noticed from User:Mike Garcia's userpage that you were one of two users to whom he was entrusted as attempts were made to rehabilitate him into the community following his ban. As this is so, and as he constitutes an exception to normal procedure I thought I should alert you first that in the past week the AMA has received two requests for assistance regarding him: the first regarding the Ned's Atomic Dustbin page, and the second regarding the a pair of System of a Down albums. I referred the user to you regarding the former case, with the hope that you might be able to intervene and settle the matter such that dispute resolution was not necessary. I will do the same for the latter; however, if another request for assistance comes in I'll have to ask for an injunction from the ArbCom. Please get back to me as soon as possible on this matter.

Mr. Garcia appears to be making trouble yet again, this time on the page for Mezmerize, where he is presently on a temporary ban for violating the three-revert rule in an edit war with an anonymous user over chart positions of that album (the anonymous user is also on a temporary ban for violating the 3RR rule as well). Garcia's position appears to be that the only valid source for chart info is allmusic.com, where you need to be a member to see that information (so nobody else can check its validity). The other user was posting information taken directly from billboard.com (where current charts, or at least the top portions thereof, can be viewed without being a subscriber). I know of no Misplaced Pages rule that says that allmusic.com is the only official source, but Garcia is acting like such a rule exists, and carrying on in a highly obnoxious and arrogant manner against all who take opposing views. I have to say that the experiment of rehabilitating Mr. Garcia seems to have failed, and a lifetime ban may be in order. *Dan* 15:19, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

Fictional Character edit

Just reverted your edit to Fictional Character & wanted to explain why. Any person in a fictional work acts as a fictional character, even if they are a real person (see the talk page for a previous discussion of this). I also reverted "any person in one or more works of fiction" to "any person in a work of fiction" since they mean the same thing and the second is more crisp. As a general rule, I try to avoid putting too many technicalities into the openings of articles as they can lead to sentences growing out of control (imagine: A fictional character any person, animal, robot, or other conscious entity existing in a play, story, poem, movie or other work of fiction...). Anyway, I forgot to put this in the edit summary and wanted to explain! Tom

User:Michael/Dispute

I'm cleaning out Misplaced Pages:Cleanup/Leftovers, and I noticed a few articles that transclude this page. I'm changing it to make the nature of the factual dispute clearer, as I understand it. If you can shed any light on these three pages or know if they can be declared resolved, any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Beland 20:45, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Red link recovery project

Howdy, Topbanana here, back after an extended absence. I've decided to round up a few of my more useful reports into a project with the goal of converting as many "red links" (links to non-existant articles) into "blue links" (links to real articles). As you've been active in fixing similar things in the past, I thought I'd let you know in case you're interested in joining up. If not, I won't be offended - we've all got lots todo here :) - TB 11:37, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)

Monty Hall images

Hi - About a year ago (!) you did some stuff with the first image in the Monty Hall problem article. I nominated the article for FAC status and along the way swapped out an image used later in the article for two images based on the one you tweaked. Can I talk you into looking at the two new images and tweaking them in similar fashion? In particular, I couldn't figure out how to preserve the transparency with the image editor I was using (and one of them should probably be cropped a bit as well). The article made it to featured status without this, but I'd appreciate it if you could do this. Thanks -- Rick Block (talk) July 8, 2005 04:19 (UTC)

Expanding and improving the Pokémon articles

I saw your name on the WikiProject Pokédex rollcall. The Pokémon Adoption Center is improving, expanding, cleaning up, and reorganizing the Pokémon-related articles, and I wanted to invite you back to help. Some of the Pokémon species stubs still need to be adopted, and we're still building consensus on how to structure tools like categories and lists, designing new infoboxes, and writing a new Pokémon article style guide. If you're interested, take a look at our new Wikiportal, and come and contribute to the discussion at WP:PAC. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 23:10, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi,

Please notice the above project. As a wikipedian interested in physics, you might be especially interested in List of publications in physics

I’ll appreciate any help. Thank, APH 09:59, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Mike Garcia RfAr

I'm not entirely happy with the way Mike Garcia has been acting lately, and I'm afraid your mentorship hasn't been sufficient to stop the less than pleasant parts of his behaviour. I've requested arbitration on him here, your views on the matter would be welcomed. --fvw* 01:10, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
