Your request re Jesus

Hi Miri,

just in relation to your request on my talk page, I was slightly surprised to see that you appear to believe that I am a Muslim. I don't particularly want to go into my convictions regarding matters of religion, so I will only point out that I have never stated myself to be a Muslim.

I hope all is well with you; you will be in my thoughts. Palmiro | Talk 13:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem, and I certainly don't object to people thinking I am knowledgeable about Islam, though whether that is true or not is another question! Palmiro | Talk 15:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I've just read the last section of your userpage, and found it very ... thought-provoking, I suppose, and beautiful. Palmiro | Talk 12:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Oberlin College and references

Thank you for changing these, even if it was automated. I'm very glad to know that there is a simpler way of doing that now.—WAvegetarian•_{CONTRIBUTIONS}• • 00:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Overuse of refconverter

Unreflective use of refconverter is causing many problems, and in many cases actively harming Misplaced Pages. The tool is nice to have—in fact, it's the impetus for me creating my own "Citation Tool" (still alpha). But it is nice to have to aid editors who are actually involved in editing a specific article, and who have reached consensus about making a given type of change to an existing article. Unfortunately, the semi-bot is largely being used to make "drive by 'improvements'" to articles where editors either have not considered the citation style, or where they have actively decided on something different from what the tool produces. This is extremely disrespectful to other Misplaced Pages editors, and a gross violation of process.

I have not looked at your specific changes made using the semi-bot, but I strongly recommend that you follow a guideline along the lines of: "Use this tool only after consensus for a change has been reached on the talk page of the article to which it is applied!"

You may also want to take a look at User:Evilphoenix/ref conversion. This is a sketch of an RfC that may be filed to try to resolve this problem (I see no reason you might not opine there, even while it lives in userspace). Ideally, Cyde will back off his insistence on changing all articles, even where against editor consensus. But unfortunately, his attitude has only become more belligerent when I have repeated requests in this regard. I think a positive involvment of well-meaning users of the semi-bot might help matters resolve amicably. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 02:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Ref converter RFC

You are receiving this message because you are on the Ref converter spamlist.

Hello there, I'd just like to make you aware that Lulu has filed an RfC against me and "other users of Ref converter". Since Lulu has previously contacted you regarding Ref converter I think it is safe to assume that you are one of the people named in the "other users of Ref converter" bit, so you may want to get involved. Just a heads-up, Cyde Weys 18:22, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

A little something for you

Just another RFA thank you note

Dear MPerel, I appreciate your vote, your support and your kind words in my RFA. It has passed with an unexpected 114/2/2 and I feel honored by this show of confidence in me. Cheers! ←Humus sapiens 02:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Wanted You to Have First Formal Thank You

Thank you nominating me and for voting for me at my RFA. I am thankful for your kind words and confidence in me. Even though it failed, constructive criticism was received. In the next few months, I intend to work on expanding my involvement in other namespaces and try a few different subjects than in the past. - CTSWyneken

Movement of Sociopath Terrorists

The "landless workers something" is nothing more than a communist terrorist group. They sing the International Socialist Antheem, burn crops, kill animals and people, with disregard for everything. And they do everything they do without a reason! The government gives them money and they just keep killing people and burning crops, don't tell me they aren't terrorists because they are! Cuzandor 04:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes I understand, even though everyone knows they are terrorists Cuzandor 16:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
