Enterprise cleanup

Hi there. I haven' heard anything on my talk page about my proposed Enterprise continuity cleanup and your opinion? thanks. Magic Pickle 15:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I was waiting for your comments! The version I have presented to you is the cleaned up version. Do you want to start the ball rolling with any comments? Thanks. Magic Pickle 11:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Furry fandom editors

Thought I'd respond here, to maybe remove some drama from the page over there. I have nothing firm about the editors I mentioned, but this is what I see: 68.69.194.125 is a regular visitor who focuses almost exclusively on this and "related" articles, and who has gathered a number of NPA warnings. User:CruiseFuton has four edits, an insult on ContiE's page , followed by editing a comment by the above anon on User:Perri Rhoades' talk page . User:Dr. Righteous has a single edit outside of this article and its discussion . And 81.178.225.214 has edits solely to this article and the discussions, including replacing sections added by Dr. Righteous. It just seems like we've got a lot of activity focused on those four users (with the occasional other IP throwing in a comment now and again). *shrugs* Seems curious, is all.

I think I summoned 68.69.194.125. Sigh. Tony Fox (speak) 05:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I see a loose trend at the moment, is all. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the second set of eyes, though, and the general support at the article. Tony Fox (speak) 05:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the additional similarities. If things go crazy, I may try to put together a CheckUser case and see what turns up. Tony Fox (speak) 20:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Revert on Sims2

Sorry, I guess it was a misunderstanding. I was monitoring RC and thought the editor was deleting Sims 2:University from the list of Expansion Packs - it's my favorite Sims2 expansion so I definitely know it exists - and I reverted it based on that. Fabricationary 04:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about sims2

Thanks for correcting me about sims 2. It looked liked that some reverted the article to an older it ecpially because it said 2005 instead of 2006. I'll try deleting my message.--Scott3 17:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

User Prof Johnson

whom you recently scolded, is a General Tojo sockpuppet. That's why he's stalking. He's on file here --Dan 19:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

My Reply to "Your Claim"

I find your accusation that I'm abusing the rules a bit of a personal attack. Just because you want to include material you can't source properly is no reason to start accusing me of abusing the rules. Perhaps you need to re-read WP:OR, WP:V and several of the other policies on including content in wikipedia again, but we don't relax the rules just because you think the content should be included, especially on policies that are the cornerstone of wikipedia. Schmucky was able to go out and find sources for the breastfeeding material, as such, it remains. Its not a complicated process. If you want to include a theory, put forth an original idea, define a term, introduce an argument (like a criticism), or several of the other things on this list WP:OR#What_is_excluded.3F You need to bring a citation. If you cannot, its original research and cannot be kept in the article. The policy cannot be misinterpreted as it clearly states These three policies are non-negotiable and cannot be superseded by other policies or guidelines, or by editors' consensus. So while you, or I, or a dozen of us may agree that some term means something, without a citation it fails the original research test and must be excluded. The complimentary policy Misplaced Pages:Verifiability#Verifiability.2C_not_truth also has a very clear definition of what may be included. This is also a non-negotiable policy. The first paragraph very clearly defines the goal of this encyclopedia and what you wanted to include flew in the face of that. This spells it out very clearly The threshold for inclusion in Misplaced Pages is thus verifiability, not truth. These are not just good ideas, these are binding policies for inclusion of content.--Crossmr 00:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I would be more inclined to believe you if these policies were enforced as stringently elsewhere as you enforce them in this one particular article, and if it didn't appear that your pattern of these deletions enforce a particular point of view.

Rather than make the mistake of claiming my perception is an objective fact, I have asked for an Administrator's review.

If you want to personalize this review request into a personal attack upon you I cannot stop you from doing so, but that is not my intent. My intent is that facts not be disincluded for capricious, arbitrary, or rules-abusive reasons. An unbiased administrative review will help in this regard, I believe.

I also request that you please cease making unverifiable accusations in my User Talk page.

I don't think User:Eep² is a vandal (per WP:LTA)

I don't know what he's been doing lately, but unless he's been blocked at LEAST once he probably shouldn't be listed on LTA as that's for severe vandals who've sockpuppeted, etc. 68.39.174.238 11:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

he conducted sneaky vandalism that went undetected over a long-period of time. It doesn't particularly matter since no one paid any attention to it.--Crossmr 15:46, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Archive

Umm, I never reverted the archive. In fact, I'm the one who suggested it be done and supported it. If I did it by accident, sorry. Didn't mean to. All I did was reply to another user's comment on the talk for an unrelated discussion. I really have no idea how what I did could have warranted this false accusation and a suggestion that what I did may have constituted vandalism. --Arch26 17:57, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I just looked at the history, and it would appear that yes, I somehow reverted the archive. I have absolutely know idea why. I only added one comment to the section on head offices as a reply to another user's recent comment. --Arch26 18:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

No worries. Like I said, I felt the page should have been archived and I'm glad it's done. I think the way you've set it up is fine. --Arch26 21:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

WWE Title Changes

Can you wait until the page is finished to nominate for deletion please? You may notice that it is a work in progress, so please retract your nomination until the sentence "This page is Under construction" is deleted.

Deleted Page

Please stop targeting my pages. I only posted the partial info on that site, requested more time and you deleted it. With several other job boards listed on thie wikipedia I can't understand why I am being targeted. Please allow me the time to post a site that will show the relevance of my subject matter and I believe the communiy as awhole will be pleased with the content.--Tkaul1224 07:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

How do I contest the deletion. This was my first submission (if you hadn't already figured it out)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkaul1224 (talk • contribs) 07:15, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Spelling and templates

I only sought to help by correcting a spelling error that I happened upon. Others, such as myself, appreciate such corrections, except perhaps in linguistic discussions or when mentioning a word as word, where a precise syntax is intended. The template you added to User talk:Centrx was general and vague and refered to "someone else's edits". It was not a personal message initiating a conversation, and seemed more like a message from a roaming, monitoring editor automatically and impersonally using user-templates than it seemed like it was a person irritated by edits to his comments. —Centrx→talk • 07:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I did not mean to irritate you. Sorry. —Centrx→talk • 07:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

More care with correction

- Please base your notes and corrections on fact not opinion. While you may have no interest or understanding of the subject does not mitigate its relevance to the community. As is seen above this seems to be a consistent problem. Hopefully you wil take this undr advisement or it will be hard for the wikipedia to continue to enjoy its growth.--Tkaul1224 07:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

What makes growth hard is people who refuse to follow the rules and continually ad content and create articles that shouldn't be.--Crossmr 07:42, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

CoolKatt number 99999 at it again!

CoolKatt's latest needless merger idea seems to be TVX Broadcast Group and Paramount Stations Group. It seems almost as if he is writing some sort of fictonal alternate broadcast history. Kramden4700 14:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

On a side note...

"It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks!"

I must congratulate you on your civility with that comment you left for CK. Perhaps he'll respond to it with civility on his part. But, somehow, I doubt it. But he can never say we never tried! Rollosmokes 08:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Presented as fact

Sorry, I don't understand your message. I'm not citing anything. Tyrenius 17:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I've said my piece on AfD. Tyrenius 18:23, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I've made an edit and now consider the article acceptable. Tyrenius 18:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

"my typos are my own"

Just curious, but why did you revert the correction of "rights" to "writes" on WT:CSD? -- nae'blis _(talk) 18:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

"Thanks for the suggestion"

I appreciate your explaining the redirect button. I thought there would be something like that. Thanks for the suggestion. David G 01:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
