| Hi David! I hope you don't mind, but I rewrote and expanded the article ], which you began last September. Check it out. ] 18:47, 11 November 2005 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks for your kind words. I am actually doing some research on ], and I found some contradictory details on her year of death; one source says that she died shortly after release, one source says it's 1969, another source 1973. The picture you mentioned would be a great addition to the article. By the way, I found out one thing about Anna Wolkoff. When she was arrested on ], ], her arrest was witnessed and made an impression on a young boy named ]. How about that for a DYK? ] 23:58, 11 November 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :: Thanks for the info on her year of death. That's all I need to know. I'm gonna write the article on Anna Wolkoff. Again thanks. ] 00:17, 12 November 2005 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks again for the clarification on Anna Wolkoff's death. I'm actually perplexed as to the various dates associated with her death. One thing puzzles me: what is her actual year of birth? As far as I have gleaned from my sources most of them gave it as ] although a source gives it as ]. Also in the midst of my research an interesting name cropped up: the German-born actor Ferdinand "Ferdy" Mayne, who was known to be typecast as a villain in many film and TV appearances. | |||
| : He was actually a German ] who immigrated to ] in the ] and worked as an undercover agent for ] and likewise infiltrated the Right Club. His cover was "blown" only after Joan Miller, another undercover agent, testified during the trial of Tyler Kent. ] 21:05, 15 November 2005 (UTC) | |||

| *Put {{t|WikiProject Macintosh}} on the talk pages of articles involving Macintosh and Apple. This helps to categorize articles! | |||
| Casualty: Sorry, but I disagree. The fact the the programme 'Casualty' (which I love) seems to have been hijacked by a 'gay pressure group' is well-known to the gay community (of which I am part). Even we find this ridiculous. True, the there are perhaps many more gays amongst the male nurses than among the general population, but nothing like the prevalence that is depicted in Casualty. It is OK to be gay, but not ram it down people's throats in this way. It's like 'GayTV', and we don't like it!. <small>(unsigned comment from ] moved from User page)</small> | |||
| *Write, cleanup, or expand an article about Macintosh/Apple | |||
| *Source a Biography of a living person living in, born in, or otherwise affiliated with Macintosh/Apple | |||

| If you know anyone who might be interested in Macintosh/Apple , please pass this message along to them! If you are still interested in the project but aren't currently active, please add yourself to the list of inactive participants at the bottom of this list. Thanks! | |||
| :What I think is neither here nor there, although Casualty has had gay themes in episodes ever since it started. The point is that the article is not there for you to put in any opinions you might have about the programme. It's an encyclopaedia article which has to reflect every point of view. ] | ] 00:27, 13 November 2005 (UTC) | |||

| I finally got back to the talk page where you left the comment on the Berlin Wall. While I agree that it is better than the previous wording, I fail to see what is wrong with Stalinism/Soviet Stalinism - no one can reasonably contest that Stalin was not present in the USSR, few would question the notion that he was important (if not catastrophic), and most who think it was the fall of communism consider Stalinism to be equivalent to or a subset of communism (which existed in the USSR) anyway. | |||

You are "gaming the system", contrary to policy. Your block of whatever IP it was is also contrary to policy. Please explain and justify the reasons for the block. This is a content dispute, you are an involved "admin", you should not be blocking. You have violated 3RR several times. You have attempted to avoid this by "gaming the system".

| :It's not vandalism. It's being bold. The policy (which is disputed) is that an article should keep in the same version of English as it started, but that is disputed by some people as a bias towards American spelling given that most non-British specific articles are likely to have been started by Americans. It's possible ] could engage in disruptive editing or violate the 3RR but it's not simple vandalism. ] | ] 22:24, 9 December 2005 (UTC) | |||

| == Homophobic Wikipedians/disputed user conduct section == | |||
| Dear David: I observe that you added back the "homophobic Wikipedians" sections, retitled "disputed user conduct", at ]. I strongly feel that this section should be removed, due to issues of potential witch-hunting and the appearance of a black-list of users arbitrarily viewed to fall within the category of having behaved in a homophobic manner. In particular, it gives a "cabal" appearance of a list of users whom retaliation may be sought. Should any cases of homophobic conduct occur on Misplaced Pages, I am sure that you would agree the best way for it to be dealt with would be via the dispute resolution channels listed at ] promptly (most probably, to the Arbitration Committee) and thus this section is not only on dangerous ground but also superfluous and potentially detrimental to an expeditious handling of the matter. I will not edit war with you over this, but I would greatly appreciate it if you would remove the section based on these reasons. Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to working with you in the future. Best regards, --] | ] 23:51, 28 December 2005 (UTC) | |||

| == LGBT interest userbox == | |||
| Hi! After participating in some ], I've decided to create a userbox specifically for people who are ''interested'' in LGBT issues. I like this userbox a lot because it doesn't force people to take a stand on LGBT-related political issues or declare a particular identity, but just expresses a common interest in editing LGBT-related articles on Misplaced Pages. I saw your name on the list of people who are interested in this kind of thing at the ], and I am inferring from your userpage that this is a type of userbox you might support, so I thought I'd let you know about this one in case you want to list it on your user page. I am hoping that people will see it, click the link to the notice board, and become more involved in editing LGBT-related articles on Misplaced Pages.

| You are voting to delete a user box you have (atheist). This is hypocrisy. I realize that you subst:ed yours or copied the code, but that still means that you were dependent on the original box for your code. While you may have the technical know how to create boxes yourself, many others do not. Your vote is essentially a vote to create two classes of Wikipedians with different rights: those who can write their own code to create boxes and those who are denied the pleasure of user boxes by their lack of fluency in code. ] ] <small>]</small> ] 03:21, 5 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
