Speedy deletion

Nice catch on Talk:Rated RKO Discussion Page. For future reference, you can just tag the talk page WP:CSD#G8 instead of create the article page with {{db-empty}}. -- KTC (talk) 07:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Catching The Point

Thanks for the catch on the WGA strike. I've very new to editing and I was somewhat confused on how to express my disapproval for a given article's content. Have a pleasent day! -Icarus'sNewBag

Randy Moss

Why did you remove Randy Moss's middle name? --Phbasketball6 (talk) 21:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the comment from the sockpuppet on my Talk page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for watching after my Talk page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up the (space) and 'is'/'as' change I made to 'Quiet Riot' (that had been subsequently reverted). I knew 'as' was correct, but also realized that the whole sentance was gramatically tedious. Your change makes it much clearer. --12.26.232.203 (talk) 23:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Hannity

I replaced the best-seller claim, with sources. - Crockspot (talk) 07:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I also added a reliable source about Olbermann to the talk page here. Crockspot (talk) 08:03, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again. Helper2008 (talk) 03:54, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I've made a proposal on the Olbermann talk page. - Crockspot (talk) 00:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Sapience/Sentience

Go look at the definitions for yourself, and if you still feel that your consensus is correct, then I respect your freedom to be wrong.

Sentience: Sentience refers to utilization of sensory organs, the ability to feel or perceive subjectively, not necessarily including the faculty of self-awareness.

Sapience: Sapience, usually defined as wisdom since it is the ability of an organism or entity to act with judgment.

I will act no further. Judge for yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.139.96.127 (talk) 02:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Man, I love it when newbies give me odd jobs. Civility, please. I've replied to your talk page. Snowfire51 (talk) 03:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Re:Writers Strike

Oh no, I wasn't offended at all! Thank you for your kind comments. ^_^ I'm sure my work needs improvement, anyway. I like feedback and constructive criticism; they help me improve as an editor. —Mirlen 07:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Practical advice

It's probably not worth it to edit war with an IP on its own talk page. See WP:DENY. - Jehochman 03:45, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I've given 75.32.190.138 (talk · contribs) a 24 hour break to cool down. Since this is a different IP than was persistent about this particular subject before, he (It appears to be Alex Constantine) may come back with yet another IP. If he comes back, give me a holler since I'm a little familiar with the situation or, if I'm not around, post about it to Admin noticeboard/Incidents or Admin intervention against vandalism. Also Administrators' noticeboard/3RR is a good one for this kind of behaviour. Cheers, Pigman☿ 06:16, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Bigotry against IP-only users

Please refrain from making unwarranted edits to this IP user's talk page with incorrect spellings of "sarcastic". It is neither necessary nor proper for you to be judge nor jury here, is it? Fortunately, we can wholly agree that the facts are what is ultimately important.. and in this case, the IP user got the __facts__ right and made the point very clear to the supposedly "seasoned" editor.. that is, DO NOT ASSUME, CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFOREHAND.

In good fun, I Thank you for your incredibly constructive reply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.34.98.154 (talk) 10:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I tried. Snowfire51 (talk) 10:34, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Snowfire, I deeply appreciate your involvement in this topic of discussion, and the article as a whole. True, I tend to be a bit speculative of non-registered users' edits, only due to the fact that, more than not, it's the IP users (not ALL of them, I get that, but a lot!) that tend to come in and commit the vandalism. So yes, IP edits get scruitinized more, but rightly so.

Once again, thank you. Edit Centric (talk) 03:52, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem, good working with you. Whether it's officially recognized or not, there is a natural bias against IP editors. I feel comfortable saying that, since probably 90% of the vandalism I correct is from anonymous editors.

When there's a problem with an IP editor, especially one that has been disruptive in the past and refuses to cooperate or be civil, there's a natural tendency to assume the worst. There's no logical reason not to have a wikipedia ID for anyone who's going to be here for longer than a few rounds of vandalism, so there is and should be a higher level of scrutiny there.

Anyway, don't worry about it for now. Anything else I can do to help, just drop me a line. Thanks! Snowfire51 (talk) 04:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not used to debating things on Misplaced Pages. However, I'm somewhat baffled by your reaction to the suicide thing. I always thought that making self-destruction sound like the hideous, painful mess it really is was a good thing. I'm contactable at billy_britain@hotmail.com.
