Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up the Midievia debate results for me. wasn't sure where to put it, my first one. Tearstar 20:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the fix in the talker bit too. I'm not sure why my edits got reverted. Having sample examples of MUSHes in an article that only vaguely links to MUSHes as a disambiguation is not neutral, and I think that they have to be removed. Asserting that the GOD/WIZ/USER idea is only for nuts-type talkers and doesn't apply to ew-too isn't neutral either. I was just a bit confused how to word that, since it'd be good to explain that. But the user levels vary talker to talker, not ew-too to nuts. Anyway, all my edits got reverted, so I am not bothering with it anymore. The article generally looks pretty good I think, but its a bit messy. The whole thing with providing examples over something like this is because people have loyalty to one place over another, and then you have fights over which one is best. That's why there were only the 11 examples given, each with a specific reason for their inclusion, notability wise, and in terms of the history. Including any more without referencing their historical status is biased. Anyway, thanks for your bit. I don't know anything about MUF so was just changing that to make things more readable. 59.167.131.8 17:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't really know much about talkers - I only noticed the article because it linked to MUSH. I'd guess that all the bits about software specifics (like the permission levels) would be better off in a separate article on the talker codebase in question - as many of the MUD codebases have. I also think the MUSH/MUCK/etc examples are unnecessary, especially since the actual MUSH article doesn't list specific games. I don't really feel strongly enough about it to revert someone else about it, though. Ehheh 17:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Removing Information

Please do not remove content from Misplaced Pages; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Not looking to get into any kind of Royal Rumble over the Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding (TnT) page.

I actually appreciate you’re looking out for it.

I reviewed the Rikki Lee Travolta files and I see where you’re coming from. His fans are about the most over zealous ever seen. It’s pretty common knowledge, that religious fever they have. That’s why he was hired as the first big guest star investment for TnT. There were fans traveling from state to state to see him as he moved from show to show. That’s why he was cast.

Understanding your concerns, rest assured that Rikki Lee was the first big time guest star (there was a minor guest star test with Meloa that went okay too, but he’s never been national). Please don’t take my word for it. Just look at the history of the entire article from day 1. Also look at the sources sited.

Also while there continues to be a nice relationship with John Mendoza (he no longer uses the Stuttering John moniker) he wasn’t one of the more major celebrities used over the year. That is not to downplay his value. Every guest star and every cast member is valued. He only did one night a week and was not yet on the Tonight Show, just a player on a radio show. We appreciate his place in history of TnT and his contributions, but it would be false to list him as one of our major celebrities much less our first.

Please, also, consider the source of the individual who tried to pass off John as the premier celebrity guest star for the show; it you look at the record - KevinMutt also tried to claim “the bagel boy” was the first big guest star. It’s vandalism. Goofy vandalsim.

Protocol says I have to tag a please don’t vandalize notation. I appreciate what you’re trying to do, though, Don’t take it personal. It’s simple a flag that we have to put up but we can disregard as we all progress together. Keep up the good work (just don’t remove information in the process of safeguarding). 70.217.125.154 05:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

My RfC

The editor and admin JoshuaZ (talk · contribs) has agreed with my assessment that he has not tried and failed to resolve the dispute. JoshuaZ also agreed that we should delete the RfC for that reason. Please view my talk page for the discussion. Vivaldi (talk) 16:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I hadn't seen that when I did the revert, but even so, I think it is inappropriate for you to decertify your own RFC. I suggest you ask JoshuaZ to revert me, with my blessings. :) Ehheh 16:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

My RfC again

I see you left this edit summary: "revert - Please don't remove other sections, and more importantly don't revert other people's endorsements of the statement of dispute" I did not intend to remove any other people's endorsements from the dispute. My own statements got reverted out while multiple users were editing at the same time. I tried to revert back and put in the relevent endorsements where they belonged. It was completely unintentional that this happened and I will try to be more careful in the future. Vivaldi (talk) 21:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I wish. Looks like a cut and paste error, though. -999 (Talk) 20:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Opuaut

Got an indefinite ban for being a sockpuppet and FFL's block was extended to 72h. The admin who did it recommends we ask for a community ban of FFL on ANI -999 (Talk) 20:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
