Hi. I appreciate your comments, and would point out merely that almost all of the edits I've applied to this article over the past several months (aside from reversions necessary to protect the work of other contributors from targeted vandalism) relate to formatting or improved paragraph layout and/or sentence structure - and not to the content itself. I will be happy to remove my warning concerning ] when I see evidence of a change in this user's attitude towards Misplaced Pages's community standards. One hopes this will occur sooner rather than later. --] 06:24, 3 May 2004 (UTC) Hi.

Hello there. Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Looking forward to reading your contributions, though you may find some exist already: the naming convention is to use lowercase within titles:

Hmm. 2 out of 4. cheers. -- Tarquin 11:54 Jan 15, 2003 (UTC)

Howdy. Thanks. Seeya 'round!

Hi, please don't just blank the page. If you feel the redirect is misleading, please list it on Misplaced Pages:Redirects for deletion. Thanks. Angela. 18:37, Feb 9, 2004 (UTC)

Ambient music

Hey, Gene Poole, nice name! Would you take a look at the Ambient music article, where I added a section on isolationist ambient? Maybe you have something to add. Thanks! heidimo 20:25, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Revert warning

Please do not revert an article more than three times within 24 hours. It is advisable to talk differences out, request for page protection, or seek mediation/arbitration instead of reverting. You have already done so on Decimal calendar. If you continue to revert, a Quickpoll may be started and you may be blocked for 24 hours. The relevant policies and guidelines are at Misplaced Pages:Quickpolls policy, Misplaced Pages:How to revert a page to an earlier version, Misplaced Pages:Mediation. Thanks, Dori | Talk 02:18, Apr 8, 2004 (UTC)

If people continue to vandalise articles without responding to repeated requests not to do so, or who repeatedly fail to provide documented evidence to support their assertions, or who deliberately revert articles on the basis of specious, subjective reasoning, then I will continue to restore them to a factual, NPOV state. You would be better served directing your warnings at those whose actions necessitate my response. Gene_Poole

Sir, if you disagree with a policy please discuss it at the relevant talk page. Otherwise, you should at least attempt to comply with the policy, rather than simply ignore it because you believe that your engaging in actions prohibited by policies is justifiable. Policies exist to be followed and implemented. If you are truly concerned with the integrity of the article, please, request mediation, which is a better way to effect this and one which is permissible under current policies, unlike the application of frequent reversions, which is likely to get you censured and/or banned temporarily, regardless of the POV or factual accuracy of the edits involved. (Only simple vandalism, such as the blanking of a page with nonsense, is likely to be excluded in this regard). Thank you for your concern in this matter. - Fennec 05:18, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Are the people removing the content Gene is repeatedly restoring being warned about these repetitive reverts? Because the content was present in the original article on 17 Jan 2003. People keep removing it repeatedly, reverting the change that originally added it. Are they being warned about not following Misplaced Pages policies? Jdavidb 18:41, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I am fully compliant with Misplaced Pages policies. In the case in question you will note that page protection was repeatedly requested - but nothing was done about it. Gene_Poole

vfd listings

Keep the micronation listings coming on vfd! Incidentally, the last two listings you've made you haven't signed them and I've had to look in the edit history to see who it is and sign on your behalf. Could you please sign your own listings in future? Cheers. -- Graham  :) | Talk 01:16, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I think I've listed all the ones that don't belong on Misplaced Pages. Apologies for forgetting my sig. --Gene_poole 01:20, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

No probs. -- Graham  :) | Talk 01:23, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Wik

Hello, you and I have something in common. We are both on Wik's list.

Hi. Yes, I'd noticed. It's always gratifing to know that you've succeeded in enraging a crackpot/troll/content perverter - using nothing more than facts and consistent, rational reasoning - to the point where they view you as a threat worthy of hysterical co-ordinated ad hominem attacks. Still, I can't help feeling a little pity for someone so obviously thoroughly screwed up. It can't be easy having to live with that level of festering anger chewing away at your insides. --Gene_poole 01:54, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)


Empire of Atlantium

I kindly ask you consider not editing Empire of Atlantium (or any Atlantium related article) because Misplaced Pages generally frowns upon using primary sources. Please also consider removing your anti-Wik message from your user page, and please assume good faith with Wik and all other users. --"DICK" CHENEY 05:04, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
