User:Schuminweb/Talk template Please leave any Misplaced Pages messages to me on this page. Please do not contact me via The Schumin Web, Email, instant messenger, or any other private communication venues for matters regarding Misplaced Pages. I will be happy to discuss issues related to Misplaced Pages with you on my Misplaced Pages talk page, or any other Misplaced Pages venue. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Fresh Prince Style

Um, headings and titles in articles have All the Major Words Capitalized...why waste your time going around un-capitalizing words in titles and headings (as in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air article?) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Heliocracy (talk • contribs) .

Uncapitalizing like I did on the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air article is in keeping with Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style. Also, please don't forget to sign your posts. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:36, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

En dash

You've removed the en dash (–) twice from the VaultKicks.org link in the Vault article, calling it "unnecessary." The en dash separates the site from its description. Yes, you could probably use a comma there, too, but you put nothing. I see no reason why there shouldn't be something to set off the site from its description.—thegreentrilby 00:02, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

There is a separator - the blue text ends, plus there's a little link graphic (see?). I see that as sufficient, and the dash becomes superfluous. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:04, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Dead malls

I'm old enough that I can remember the Saturday Night Live "old mall" skits, which had the "Tape Store" as one if its dreary specialty boutiques, skits that I found darkly hilarious. I've also watched the evolution of several notable real shopping centers, and now I watch their articles. However I can't join another project, I belong to a couple and am semi-involved in several more. Best of luck, and if I see a problem I'll bring it to the project. -Will Beback 11:21, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

What's your problem

Are you suppressing history because of a copy violation or because you believe the lies your government tells you???? Please restore this page or face the consequences of a SAM7 up your buttEthnopunk 14:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

The text in Angolan War was copied directly from the URL cited. Also, please check out Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks, Misplaced Pages:Civility, and Misplaced Pages:Copyrights when you get a chance. Thanks. SchuminWeb (Talk) 21:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Apoligies for the Ad Hominem attack, but the text was not copied directly from that site. It was saved and then edited online. The result was substantially different and in no way a copyright infringement. Schuminweb is behaving like a boy scout who knows he is in the wrong, the copy should have been moved to the discussion page before being deleted.

Should I report you both as a "Vietnam War" deniers? Are you saying there was no opposition to the Vietnam War? Same thing isn't it? Template:Civil2

Ethnopunk 11:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

An only slightly more rational version of this discussion continues on Talk:Angolan War. The discussion continues at that location. SchuminWeb (Talk) 21:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Renaming DC World War Memorial

I would like to rename the "DC World War Memorial" article (which you started) to "District of Columbia War Memorial". I came across this memorial while seaching the HABS/HAER database at the Library of Congress. The latter name is used by the Historic American Buildings Survey in their recent recording project on the structure, and HABS is usually very thorough with their research. Let me know if you have any problems with this. (As you may notice, I just expanded the current article.) — Eoghanacht 18:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I have been working on some lesser known D.C. sites myself. My latest: Jefferson Pier. — Eoghanacht 18:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Troll

Kid,

I will try to not make this to personal, but you appear to be a lonely troll. You are going around and trying to cleanup people's entries with your own self style of edit. I agree with one on the earlier posters here on your "talk" page in regards to capitalizing major words in a title. It is improper (regardless of how you interpet wiki) only to capitalize first words on section headings. Also some of your edit attempts leave a lot to be desired. Take some time off and look for a job or get a hobby. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.37.113.34 (talk • contribs) .

Barnstar

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar In recognition of your expansion of Washington DC and Virginia related content on Misplaced Pages. ßlηguγΣη

Reverse takeover.

No problem. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 03:09, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Angolan War

Just letting you know that I put this article up for speedy deletion. I did this because of the copyvio but more importantly because a good article already exists on the same topic at Angolan Civil War. Have a nice day :). --Strothra 21:04, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok I've closed the AFD. Took a while though it's been ages since I last delt with the process for closeing them.Geni 04:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Norfork Dam

I have replaced the image you deleted in the norfork dam article. It is not a duplicate. While you clearly did identify a misspelling you were the only one to do so. Furthermore, it was obviously a typo and by no means justified your following statement.

"Oh, why don't you creat an alternate reality where you don't have to spell correctly? And I talk like this! And your name is 'Watered Down'!" (fixed spelling of "create" and gave a Strong Bad ref).

As this was my first wikipedia article I do appreciate you fixing a few of the numerous formatting errors. However, there were many editors who did significantly more than you and were much more polite.

I gather from this page that your attitude is an ongoing problem in this community. Please remember this is not a place for power trips or childish superiority complexes, and your work is only apprecitated as long as it is constructive.

Personal attacks on other editors will not be tolerated and further violations will be reffered to the Misplaced Pages:Association of Members' Advocates. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Antares573 (talk • contribs) .

Oh, please - it was meant as a joke. Have a sense of humor. See Strong Bad Email #117 for the original use of the phrase. I even subtly indicated it was a joke in the edit summary. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:39, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

FIY

Hey, you might want to keep your eye on, Nugneant (talk • contribs), it as if he has a bone to pick with metro or something, aney away he put in this statement, i taged it with the fact, and then he gave me his source, I have since removed it on the basis of POV/NPOV and OR tought i suspect that it will just be readded later. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 03:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

See you have had your delaings with him as well, what did i tell you, btw he left an intresting comment on my page, if you care to look. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 03:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Skyview High School

I appreicate your help with cleanup and orginazation fot eh skyview page, but I would aks you to leave the pictures and trivia alone. I would also ask you to please refrain from editing the page for at least three days. I am not finished writing it up yet, and edits made while I am still working cause probelms for me. Please wait three days for my final version to be up, then feel free to edit as you see fit, ok? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ThNik (talk • contribs) .

No, no, and no. It says at the bottom of every edit screen, "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it." SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:19, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I fdont think i made it clear enough. It's just not done yet. Picture it like this. How easy do you think it would be to write a book if soembody kept erasing the first three chapters? Wait for ti to be gfinished, then you can do as you see fit. Perosnally, I don't think you really have the right to edit this particular page, as it is of no personal relevance to you. Leave it in the hadns of the people that know what they're dealing with. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ThNik (talk • contribs) .

Everybody has the right to edit any page at any time. Such is one of the key tenets of the Wiki format. SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

ok look. I know what this is. your life is in the gutter, with no decent job. Your high school life wqas undoubtedly one full of ridicule for your weight and nearsightedness, and you love the feeling of being in control and in a position of power that doing this gives you. I'm jsut asking you to be a little understanding. I knwow hat the letter of the ruels say. I am jsut asking you to do me a favor. Is it so hard to do that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ThNik (talk • contribs) .

See WP:NPA. SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:35, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

look, buddy, i didnt mean any perosnal attacks. I went through a lot of that shit, ok? I'm a skinny blind fucker too, ok? I'm just trying to relate, and talk. I know how your mind is working about this, as my mind used to work the same way.

i'm not making a persoanl attack, friend. I'm jsut trying to nopen up a discussion with you. Is it so hard to do that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ThNik (talk • contribs) .

The moment you start talking about my personal life, that's a personal attack, and it falls under WP:NPA. SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:56, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Everybody has the right to edit any page at any time. Such is one of the key tenets of the Wiki format. SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:29, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Are those nto your exact words? I onyl did that to illustrate my point. I am a skyview student, and I know all abotu Skyview. I am working to tell people all about ym school. This is my perosnal life. I am as qualified to edit your page, as you are to edit mine. remember, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. I hope you can see just how offputting such behavior can be. Now pleae let me ask you again. Would it be too much to ask for you to do me a favor and leave me to work with what I know? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ThNik (talk • contribs) .

Correct me if I'm missing something here: You've cited my comment earlier stating that anyone has the right to edit any page, while you ask me not to edit? Seems not to make sense... SchuminWeb (Talk) 09:14, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Washington Metro Fluff

Ben - this is ridiculous. I have no problem with you and some other person taking my Metro - critical comments off in the name of POV, but then why should Metro - supportive PR be kept on? --Nugneant 16:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Maryland

I know you from the district area but was wondering if you not mind glancing over the the Maryland article especially the cultural identity section, and maybe give your opinion, it seems to be getting out of hand. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 03:46, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I got you now, well i figure that i at least put out a feeler to a "trusted" editor who has some perception of the area, at least you come in with a fresh perspective, i see that you have also noticed our friend that i noted you on above, he also has taken an intrest on the same article. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 05:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Concensus voting

Hey Ben, Do you think it's possible to do some sort of consesus vote on whether to include rankings in the James Madison University article? I just don't think that they are ever really academic studies as they are commercial and cannot possibly be comprehensive. I'd like to be able to see if there's a way to vote are argue the point so that there can be a decision made on whether or not we just leave them out of the article altogether. --Strothra 17:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

you fat asshole, why don't you leave my page alone. what, it's not enoguh for you to stick your nosey nerd-ass troll figners on the page for my personal high school, you have to decide what belongs on ym persoanl user pagfes too. keep it up, mother fucker, and youll get yours, i swear to fucking christ. see WP:TOUCHMYSHITAGAINANDYOULLLEARNWAHTITMEANSTOTOSSASALADFATNERDFUCKINGTROLLPIECEOFSHITASSWIPE
