Please stop deleting pictures from user pages.

You have no right deleting images from my user page. You should refrain from it in the future and stop vandalizing my user page.DarthZantetsuken 16:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

For reference, DarthZantetsuken is referring to my removing copyrighted images that were on his user page. 'Fair use' images on user pages are explicitly prohibited, so they had to be removed. Edit summary explained the reasoning for removing them. In response, he made this accusation against me, and then decided to intentionally vandalize my own user page. Bladestorm 19:46, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you prove these false accusations. To quote you:

Okay, so you clearly need to know how things work here:

1. You are not allowed to have copyrighted (fair use) images on your user page. Take a look here, and look at the section, "Images on user pages". It explicitly, in entirely unambiguous terms, declares that you can NOT use them in that capacity. That's strict policy. You can also look here where that rule is restated.
2. Do not accuse me of vandalism just because I'm enforcing wikipedia's policies. False accusations are not taken lightly.
3. Do not dare to ever vandalize my user page ever again. There is no policy saying that you can't use the words "playstation", "wii", etc. You can mention products on user pages if you like.
4. Do not ever again disrupt wikipedia just to make a point.

I provided in my edit summaries an explanation that copyrighted images can't be used on your userpage. If you didn't believe me, then you should've looked it up for yourself rather than accusing me of vandalism and vandalizing my own page. DarthZantetsuken 23:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

BTW, you've already vandalized my user page, and made false accusations.

Nice, don't sign it or anything. You cannot prove this. Also, you have violated my user page so, an eye for an eye.DarthZantetsuken 17:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Work in Progress

Okay... so one of the article I've been monitoring has been so horribly butchered and twisted by extreme POV disputes, that I'd like to just redo the whole thing. However, I don't want to rewrite the original article, in case people don't like the rewrite... I know there's some way to do this in a sandbox-y style... but still don't know how. Any suggestions?

That is, any suggestions on how I can write... I guess you'd call it a temporary article that I could let other people read?

(and, if they go for it, is there a really easy way to just transpose my rewrite overtop the original article?)

Ok. best place for a rewrite is in ].

When and if they agree to put your version up, just copy, paste the contents from your userpage to the article, and request deletation of your user sub-page. Eagle talk 05:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay... so I'm sure this is the right answer, but... what exactly is the link, or method of setting that up? :)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 18:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

USD conversion template

Looks great! Very clever idea, now just put it in some articles :D Scepia 17:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

PS3 USD conversion

Amazing template and implementation! You deserve a fricking award or something. Cmsjustin 21:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Waste of Time

A rather long and pointless waste of both time and space can be found here. Anyone wishing to further comment there is free to do so, but don't expect me to check up on it very often. Either way, too much space for my main talk page. Bladestorm 04:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

archiving page

You can really do it both ways. If you wish to keep the edit history intact, you can move the page and put important things back on the talk page. I don't care about the edit history, as any questions of ownership would be solved by the signature - ~~~~, and the original talk page would have the complete history of discussion on my account. I just copy and paste, but it works both ways. Scepia 04:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Threat? Hardly.

It was not a threat. It was a natural consequence of his actions. He had not made a single civil comment in his history on Misplaced Pages, and I called him out on it. When I did so, he threatened me with blocking, and I simply showed him the futile hilarity of his statement. --Golbez 23:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Stay away from my talk page

Any comments by you on my talk page will be summarily removed. --Ideogram 06:46, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I take it back. I am willing to converse with you on my talk page, although I remind you the invitation can be revoked at any time. --Ideogram 07:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Um, okay... But, before I do, what were you still interested in discussing? Removing comments from talk pages? Because I doubt there's going to be much disagreement on that front anyways. (Just for the sake of people who universally oppose it, I think I might just strike it out next time it's really bad, instead of actually removing it) Bladestorm 14:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't watchlist your talk page so missed this for a while.

It's not that I have anything I particularly wanted to discuss with you, but if there is anything you want to say to me or want to discuss with me I am willing to listen. Striking out is okay, I guess, although I still prefer that you just not mess with other people's comments. Anyway, I'm not really going to argue with you. Happy editing. --Ideogram 09:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
