RFA forum

I wonder if you were offended by me posting a vote on the RFA. I made some more edits, if you don't mind. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reggae Sanderz (talk • contribs) 01:49, July 13, 2006 (UTC)

Lol, Habbo

Haha, I see what you did there. Fight on, /b/rother.

California State Normal School article

Thanks for your support of this article, or at least nuetrality. It has been redirected by NeoChaosX. How can I find out if this was done with proper authority?

Also, you said you had saved the article for integration with the San Jose State University article. Can you do that? Thank You.

Orwell

All those pictures, which were entitled "...for non-profit, and/or educational purposes" have no actual copyright. I just labeled them so because i didn't want those pictures to be stripped of their source. Those images are scanned from The Road to 1984 by Peter Lewis—a comprehensive biography—and though the text was under copyright of the publisher, all the images were from the Orwell archive, which gives free license for those images.

Please save them, I believe them to be quite important to Orwell's life.

Tom Knapp of Lancaster Newspapers

Kevin,

I would like any additional encounters you've had with Mr. Tom Knapp for a matter of record. Please forward it to thebrandnewcrow@yahoo.com.

Thank you very much.

Speedy deletion of Operation Cactus-Lilly, explanation for contesting

Hi Kev, I don't think you noticed that Helibridge over Meghna redirects to Operation Cactus-Lilly anyway. They are the same operation, the latter page only gives the name of the operation. The contents were the same, so I redirected that page to Operation Cactus-Lilly. You can't merge it with the helibridge page since it doesn't actually exist anymore under that name.User:rueben_lys.

what?

- Looks good to me. "Actual Reality" is mentioned VERY breifly an almost inconsequentially in the article. The link that was readded was to a site with what appears to be a particular company's laser sensor (and possibly equipment). Its almost useless to the reader of the article. Also one of the diffs I checked with a brief arguement by the anon is a straw man arguement ("the other links are still there" and its relatives). Last, the other diff I saw with 5 or so links added is clearly not a good idea.

i'ven been called many things.. but thats a new one. really i gotta know

~whatever~  

look i'm meeting you hippies halfway. --whatever 17:07, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Universe Spam

Thanks for the heads-up, I hadn't encountered him/her before but I'll keep my eyes open. Cheers. Canadian-Bacon 03:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Border & Background

Could you please add a red border and a green background to my userpage, I can't do it. And yesterday I asked User: Master of Puppets to do it for me, he did it, but my text was shrunk and the border was not joined in places, and in some places was not even there, he said it displayed fine on his PC, could you do it? PS you can have a look at it, by clicking on the Master of Puppets version, it does not look good --Lego@lost 03:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

King of Thailand

It's a framed photo, not a painting. Adam 04:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

It's on public display in Bangkok. The photo is probably of official origin. But the photo uploaded to Misplaced Pages was taken by me and is tagged accordingly. Adam 09:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

'Ello

I'm sorry, but what's a null edit en masse? I'm new here, so please forgive me. ^_^;

Stephen Colbert

I really do apologize: I meant to make one modest change in the introductory paragraph and somehow stupidly ended up reverting to an entire earlier version, complete with a multitude of differences I didn't mean to include. Sorry for the confusion.Hal Raglan 21:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok...

I don't see anything wrong with what I did. But that's just me.

VandalSniper

You've been approved to use VandalSniper. Please let me know if you have any problems getting it working. --Chris (talk) 23:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Your revert of Artwp's vandalism

How come the summary says "Reverted edits by $2..." instead of "Reverted edits by Artwp..."?? Georgia guy 01:41, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Beat me to it

Flagged OpenOnline as a copyvio two seconds before I was about to. Sure wish the advertisers would go elsewhere. VoiceOfReason 03:41, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

User:Dinohunter

Hi Kevin,

I don't see a link between Dinohunter (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) and Universe Daily (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log). Could you please fill me in? --  Netsnipe    07:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for the vandal revert on my page. Those silly vandals. :) --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 02:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks,,,,

Dang. Thanks for catching that. Herostratus 06:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Wiki/CC Image Copyright Questions

Would you please have a look at the CC image copyright question question posed at Misplaced Pages:Featured_article_candidates#Wiki.2FCC_Image_Copyright_Questions and chime in on the correct answer? Thanks -- Frothy 15:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

US housing bubble for featured article?

Thanks again for making the effort to provide comments and feedback on the US housing bubble article. As summarized at the page Misplaced Pages:Featured_article_candidates#Response_to_objections_raised_above, I believe that all the objections and issues raised have been addressed. Would you please have a look and consider supporting this for "featured article" status? Especially given the (unfortunate) recent news (see, e.g., today's New York Times "most-emailed" Op-Ed "Housing Gets Ugly" here), this would be an especially timely featured article, and help "Wiki" live up to its speedy name.

Personal page image idea

Hello again KB, I wonder if you could find me an image that is available to be displayed on my page, perhaps of WWE's Kane with his mask & old costume worn? Thanks :).

dublin region

hey thanks for the template help. Yeah, its actually better not to say the dublin region part (because nobody does that). Can you help me do the trick you were talking about?

thanks again --RCSIRCSIRCSI 03:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

sorry for my changes to Welcome page Kevin. I am creating my own Wiki, and am using Misplaced Pages as a guide... and accidently edited in wrong window (doh!). I was about to revert back my edits but you beat me - will be more carefulnext time! thanksJimmyem 04:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Userpage revert

Thanks for reverting my userpage. I thought a 48-hour block would cool him off but I guess I was wrong. Oh well. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 05:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

thanks

thanks for the fix --RCSIRCSIRCSI 14:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Sports journalism, List of sports writers, redirects of sportswriting

To Kevin Brietenstein: I restructured the Sports journalism page, created the List of sports writers page, and restructured the redirects of sportswriting and sports writing to help these pages fit better into the mix of journalism articles. Please don't revert to the previous version without discussing it on the talk pages first. Gladmax 23:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

No, you redirected a page with a huge edit history to a redirect page. I mearly cut in moved the page because of a cut and paste move in progress. Kevin_b_er 23:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Maps

Yes, I made all those maps. -- Earl Andrew - talk 23:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops. Sorry about that. I did reply here, but I guess Misplaced Pages wasn't working at the time. Thanks for asking again. I got the base map from Statistics Canada's website. -- Earl Andrew - talk 06:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Defcon

Doc originally moved it per GUS. I'm adopting it for now, I won't be online for a little bit, so I recommend talking to him for now. Yanksox 16:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you about my cut-offs

Thank you for your advice/reassurance on my cut-off problem with carborane. I cut and paste data from technical sources, and these actions cause trouble because of some hidden embedden stuff that I have yet to figure out how to reveal. I am totally about content, but I apparently need to absorb more about methods if I want to go hard core WE. --Smokefoot 01:56, 1 September 2006 (UTC) Gulp, yes I have cut and pasted numbers (like a boiling point or a MW) but maybe I cannot do this. My sense was that numbers imply no creative content vs words from text (which should be strictly forbidden, as I observe). Specifically, where I was having troubles in carborane was cutting an 8-digit CAS reg # from a ChemAbs query and attempting to paste it into the article, since it is nice to have CAS # for each cmpd.

Oh, I do cut and paste journal references verbatim from searches, my own bibliographic database, and from journals tables of contents, i.e. page numbers. author lists. and titles. Usually such pastes require lots of cosmetic work by me. I suspect that if such actions were forbidden we would go back to the dark ages in WE-Chem where those without access to scholarly sources would rule content. But if what I am doing is incorrect or unethical, then let me know.--Smokefoot 02:36, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Drini and the CVU deletion

You, like so many other Wikipedians, seem to have felt that Drini's actions in the CVU deletion proccess were wholly inappropriate. As a result, I'm forming an ad-hoc group of sorts composed of people interested in removing Drini. If you'd like to be involved, just drop me a note. ShortJason 19:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll admit his deletion of the page was out of process, but such actions are not worth it. Kevin_b_er 20:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
