Francisella revert?
Not sure why you reverted my Francisella edits - comments? MarcoTolo 01:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- You seemed to have taken out a large ammount of information that was relevant to the article. :D I apologize if the information wasn't necessary; I didn't study the article. Please, if you believe that the edit was necessary, revert it. GofG || Contribs 01:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Much of the information in the Francisella entry is specific to Francisella tularensis; I've simply broken down the main article to avoid confusion. Thanks for the quick reply - and, I see, the even faster re-vert <grin>. MarcoTolo 01:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- :D My only concern is that the main article is now a very short stub, and maybe it wouldn't suffer to have more information in it.
- ....And it's a valid one. I'm working on beefing-up the base article - give me a day or two and let me know if you think it's still too skimpy. MarcoTolo 02:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Please explain your revert on List of famous tall women
There's a consensus on the talk page that the list was overly broad in its criteria, and I acted according to that by removing women who were below two standard deviations from the norm. Please explain why you reverted my changes and acted against the consensus. Night Gyr 01:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- My bad. I saw huge ammounts of blanking, I reached for my revert tool too quickly. Please, my mistake. GofG || Contribs 01:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
CTSWyneken
Thanks for the eagle eye and the revert! It's not necessary, though. I'm in the process of archiving. I just got lazy and didn't mark the edit summary. See talk:CTSWyneken/Archive 1 --CTSWyneken 02:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- I apologize, as I did on your talk page. :D Thats like the third screwup i've had today...
Thanks
Thanks for the welcoming, but in truth I have been a member of wikipedia for a while. I have only recently become somewhat active.
weems 03:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- I know. I told you I'd give you the welcome message though, because it's happy :D GofG || Contribs 03:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Spam and GameRanger
Hi GofG,
If you read the article's deletion entry you will see that the community was fiercely opposed to the version of the article you reverted to. Not the least because it contains links promoting GameRanger's premium services. In this sense, it can be viewed as spam. I know you are a new member to Misplaced Pages so I will direct you to Misplaced Pages's policy on spam which can be found here. A warning on spam appears below.
Sincerely,
Cedars 05:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks.
Cedars 05:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, I apologize. When I came up on the Gameranger article yesterday and saw that not only had most of the information been deleted (what I mistakenly thought of as vandalism,) but a deletion notice, obviously I put the information back. My error. I'll go revert it, if you haven't done so already.
- That's cool. Sorry about the misunderstanding. Cedars 06:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
...
Sorry.. That Misplaced Pages Good Faith article....
The Ronin 21:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, what exactly was that about? GofG || Contribs 21:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Trying to add the image fo a userbox fo good faith, but did not work. I meant to try
.This user reserves the right to completely screw up their own edits.
Looks like I screwed it up!The Ronin 21:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Eh, It's alright. I didn't warn you because I thought it might have been a mistake. :D Although, I would have discussed putting that userbox on the page first on the talk page...No harm done so don't worry about it.
Vandalism Reverted
GofG, I thought I would just let you know that I reverted vandalism caused to your user page CharlesM 01:30, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. I believe I know the person who has been vandalising my page, and I will talk with them later.
Re: Helpme
Thanks for responding. (You forgot to sign!) I have 3 questions:
- I should put the {{helpme}} tag at the bottom of my talkpage, then?
- Is it kosher to delete discussions on one's own talk page, or is it required to archive?
- Should I be responding to you on YOUR talk page, or mine -- with these help requests?
- I tried to join a WikiProject, but it didn't recognize me as logged in anymore. And it couldn't find my username when I tried to login. Does WikiMeta (or WikiMedia or whatever it's called) have a different membership than Misplaced Pages? If so, why? I don't have the same history or userpage or anything over there. But isn't the point of WikiProjects that they concern Misplaced Pages entries? I wonder what the point of joining a WikiProject is if you're a totally different user over there as over here...?
Thanks! --Hyphen5 14:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I realized my error a bit to slowely. You were fast to catch it. Sorry for the delay by the way, I had just signed on to the channel and no one had handled you.
- Yes, under a new heading, usually == Help Me: == {{helpme}}
- Generally it is frowned upon. I'm not sure if it's required to archive, but I would. As you can see, I've made several mistakes that I would much rather have off my talk page. But I believe it would show bad character to take them off.
- Probably on your own talk page, but lets not take it there for this one. We already have a conversation going on over here :D.
- Yes, all the different Wikimedia branches have different accounts. For instance, I have an account on Misplaced Pages, Wiktionary, and WikiNews, but not WikiQuote or any of the others. WikiProjects concern all of the Wiki pages on Wikimedia, so they are on Wikimedia.org rather than Misplaced Pages. That way you have all the projects for all the branches together.
Did that help? Also, I forget the original question... I'll go look at your user page. GofG || Contribs 14:43, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Ah, the original question was stated on my usertalk page. Ok. So... Mind if I use your userpage as a template for my own? GofG || Contribs 14:47, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help! Of course I don't mind if you use my userpage. I just created it like an hour ago, though, so I'm surprised you like it! Do you have any suggestions for it? I've just been using WP for less than a week. --Hyphen5 14:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- It's better'n mine.. :) Thanks. GofG || Contribs 14:55, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. You can get the infobox by typing {{subst:user infobox}}, I think. --Hyphen5 18:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Bible Contradictions
Hey GofG,
I am ready to deal with every single one of the "contradictions" that you listed and the ones that were also on the website you pointed to. Would you mind picking the first "contradiction" to discuss?
Thanks, EChronicle 18:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- :) Sure, why not. I like the "Jesus' last words" one. Please, what's the answer to that? GofG || Contribs 21:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Sure - but I mine as well not reinvent the wheel: http://www.tektonics.org/af/crosswords.html. That clears it up :) - hope it helps. --EChronicle 23:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your Help
I'm dropping by to say thanks to a fellow atheist, mac user, gamer, and trekkie (all on one!).

I add in my thanks for the help that he also gave me... --EChronicle 15:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
P.S. What "contradiction" do you want to go through next?

When you use the popups tool to revert, be careful in cases where a vandal has made consecutive edits... you need to fully revert all of the vandal's edits (back to the previous user), not just one edit. -- Curps 06:17, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Right. I thought I had hit "Former Version" or whatever until there was a suitable version, but I guess something got screwed up. GofG || Contribs 06:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Blocked
Hello. The IP address of my school has recently been blocked for blanking a page on Glaciers. The block was justified. However, I was aware of the vandalism, and I had explained to the perpatrator just hours ago why vandalisation is bad, and I came on to fix it to find that I was blocked. I ask that the IP address not be blocked for Ravenscroft School, 68.156.179.102, for more than an hour or so. GofG || Contribs 20:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Unblocked, yea! Thanks for telling the kid that Vandalism is bad! -- Tawker 21:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Again, the IP address 68.156.179.102 Talk Contribs was blocked again. Could I get a relieve? This is the last time. I'm trying to get people here to stop vandalizing. GofG || Contribs 15:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

A Thousand Thanks
Many, many thanks for the help on Filmography of Broncho Billy Anderson, GofG. I've been beating my head against the wall trying to get those columns aligned. Thanks for the compliments also. Rizzleboffin 04:04, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
helpme
Thanks, for the help, should I respond on your talk page or mine? I'll just leave it at your page for now if you don't mind. I have an other question, if you would like to tell me if what I've done is alright I would be most thankful. I've uploaded a few album cover images. I read that they should be low resolution, I'm wondering if they are of a low enough quality, or if they are too low of quality? The images can be found at Mobstability, and Adrenaline Rush.

Your comments on Lou's page
I respect your opinion if you feel that we are treating him unfairly, but have you looked at the talk page archives for that article and at his contributions? The majority of what he's done has been to repeatedly insert things that are against consensus and to accuse other editors of being part of a gay cabal and/or being unwilling to actually make the article neutral. He's currently the subject of an arbitration case for disruption and unwillingness to respect consensus, among other things. After several months of this, and several months of our trying to deal with his unwillingness to substantially respond to our arguments on the talk page or otherwise make any concessions at all in his demands until he's been blocked several times for 3RR on any given "improvement" that he insists on making against consensus, I think that our response is reasonable.
I don't mean to be antagonistic (I hope that this doesn't come off that way). If you'd like to discuss this further with me, I'd be happy to do so, and if you think that there's a way that the situation can be improved, I for one would love to hear it. If you're willing to get more involved, I think that other editors of the article might also be interested to hear what you have to say on the article's talk page, even if we end up disagreeing with you.
Hbackman 07:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
...well, I hadn't seen your edits to the article talk page yet. I guess you are "more involved" already. ;) Welcome to the craziness. Hbackman 07:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- :) Indeed. As per what I said to him, I'm not on his side for the blocks etc, but rather that he wasn't being treated in good faith. What he is saying now on the talk page, it seems that he is honestly wanting to improve the article, even if he's not going about it in the right way. GofG || Contribs 11:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, you're coming up to speed quickly... it's just more of the same of what we've been putting up with so far. I appreciate your contributions, please don't allow yourself to be driven away. Cleduc 02:23, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I already made the point about Greek culture and acceptance of homosexuality -- refs here. Cleduc 02:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I would never be driven away. I finally have found an article in which I can be useful, which is a rather large accomplishment, considering I'm only 12. So far I've been doing anti-vandalism work with the CVU, but if I ever want to be an admin, I'll have to have some actual editing behind me :D. GofG || Contribs 02:42, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I wouldn't have known about your age. I was assuming you had to go to grad school. Keep up the good work, and don't stop assuming good faith (even though it's hard sometimes). Cleduc 03:03, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi GofG. I was getting ready to archive but got sidetracked by a lot of other things that I felt were more important, etc. I was blocked twice yesterday and if I had archived then, which is what I was planning to when I got blocked with no warning or explanation (2nd time), I would have been accused of trying to hide evidence. I will try to archive some time today, however. Maggiethewolfstar 19:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Marijuana Wiki
Hi there,
I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.
I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Misplaced Pages, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.
To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.
I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki
Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

My Talk Page
I am not really sure what led you to my talk page, however I would like to know how much of mine and Anoranza's dealings have you looked up? Since the comment I made toward that user, was directed at them, I did not need to cite examples, I was not filnig a complaint. The user who I was in direct talk with knows their prior dealings with me. I have previously told them that I will cease any direct talk with them and hence why I replied with simple policy links. I hope you do not going around calling your colleages work "lame" and tell them their contributions may get them blocked again. Perhaps you would have replied with isntances of how they haven't been civil. I do not feel the need to justify myself on my talk page as the user is already aware of things they have said. If I was filing a complaint however I would. Also considering you seem to not have been aware of most of my dealings with that particular user I find it very odd you would then comment to state I am being rude. --Zer0faults 20:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
