| Hello Will, I very much appreciate your effort to keep Misplaced Pages free from libellous content. OTOH I don't think, that someone who states, that Islams ''"tenets are more along the lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad'"'' could feel offened by stating that he/she ''"expressed sentiments opposed to the religion of Islam"''. I tried myself to remove defamatory and libellous content (such as the cartoons) from the ] article until I've been banned from editing this article. It seems, that even though WP is not a democracy, defamatory and libellous content is welcome as long as a majority supports its inclusion. ] 17:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC) | Hello Will, I very much appreciate your effort to keep Misplaced Pages free from libellous content.

Thanks for the welcome
Thank you. I came to post this Dakshaaayani 08:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey Will. Thanks for the intro to Misplaced Pages. Acid0057 04:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Vandalism accusation
Hello, My bot was accused of vandalism, because it removed an interwiki-link to a non-existing page on the Indonesian wikipedia. The link is therefore, obviously, erroneous, so should be removed, either by a bot or a human. Please reply at nl:Overleg gebruiker:Thijs!. Thijs! 10:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Bot status
At the time I started using the bot a bot status was not necessary on this wikipedia. Apparently, as I look it up now, a bot status IS necessary, but I did not notice the change in the policy. I will request a bot flag soon. Thanks! Thijs! 10:52, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Please don't don't tell me that my article is nonesense, I agree that it is very silly and I don't mind If you delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bailey Cooke (talk • contribs)
Sorry

Ronnie Maszk page
What makes the page on Ronnie Maszk non-usable. I would really like to know because I worked on it for quite awhile. Please don't delete it until you let me know so I may fix it immediately, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronnie_davis (talk • contribs)
ArenaBowl XXI
Hello,
I am attempting to understand why you have questioned the notability of the ArenaBowl XXI article. Having read the criteria for notability, I am unsure what part of the guidelines the page does not fulfill. Please let me know what you think the page requires to become "notable" and I will address your concerns. Thank you. Dhmachine31 22:41, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
The page is not gone. ArenaBowl XXI is your link. Dhmachine31 08:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
It's the championship game of a fairly popular national professional sports league, isn't that notable enough? I would say the millions of fans that attend AFL games each year have deemed it "notable" more than adequately. However, as governed by Misplaced Pages's notability standards, I believe the addition of ABC to the page as the televising network (the new AFL television contract was still under negotiation at the time you tagged the page and thus no network was listed) satisfies the criterion for notability as "published works". But in any case, it appears the tag has been removed by another user. Unless you object, I think we can consider that a resolution to our discussion. Dhmachine31 22:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
British, American, and universal English usage
Good morning Will. I still think my edit to Denver International Airport changing "pavement" to "paved area" was justified. However, the edit comment that I provided was somewhat substandard. My intent was NOT to change an American usage to a British one; it was to change an American usage to one which would be universal among English speakers.
I am an American, but according to John Cletheroe, who is a Brit who writes travel advice for people visiting the United States and Canada, the British usage of "pavement" is equivalent to our American word "sidewalk", i.e. it only applies to paved pedestrian paths.
(Cletheroe goes on to say that in America the word "pavement" refers to the roadway instead of the sidewalk, which of course is not correct -- in America, "pavement" refers to any and all areas that are paved, regardless of their use -- but Cletheroe is an Englishman and can therefore be excused if he doesn't exactly understand the American usage. I am relying on him for the British usage.)
When I referred to the "paved area", I was attempting to refer, briefly, to runways, taxiways, and automobile roadways (and I guess sidewalks also -- why not) in an unambiguous fashion.
May I reinstate this edit?

RE: Please require users to read WP:BLP
Thank you for recommending that template however I must differ with you in the cases of the Bill O'Reilly vandals. The very first one was obvious vandalism in my opinion if you take a look at the diff. The second one was still in my opinion blatant vandalism but I guess you could argue it to be in within the lines of the template you provided. I rarily revert information which is not indisputable vandalism (with the exceptions of RC patrol mistakes), I do however appreciate you signifying a template that might come in handy though.

re:welcome
welcome links should now appear on history pages too. GeorgeMoney (talk) 23:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome (and offer of help!)
Hi Will! I signed on to Misplaced Pages in order to add something to a paragraph on "language games" for the benefit of the 4th graders that I work with. In attempting this, I've realized that even with Misplaced Pages instructions, I am having trouble figuring out how it works. Are you available to walk someone like me through the process? Thanks for getting back to me when you are able. Alphadalpha 06:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Will, I very much appreciate your effort to keep Misplaced Pages free from libellous content. OTOH I don't think, that someone who states, that Islams "tenets are more along the lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad'" could feel offened by stating that he/she "expressed sentiments opposed to the religion of Islam". I tried myself to remove defamatory and libellous content (such as the cartoons) from the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy article until I've been banned from editing this article. It seems, that even though WP is not a democracy, defamatory and libellous content is welcome as long as a majority supports its inclusion. Raphael1 17:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
