Laser Quest

I have seen many of these terms used in Laser Quest/other laser tag circles. The problem is the most reliable sources are discussions from lqarena.com and Usenet (and some of the Usenet info cannot be trusted). Would that be good enough? --Shawn K. Quinn (talk) 02:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Dutch surnames

Hi, hope you can help me out here regarding Dutch surnames. I was wondering if, with regard to Daniel de Ridder specifically, how his surname should be written when used without the first name - should it remain as de Ridder with a small d, or should it be De Ridder with a capital D? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Great, thanks, Struway2 (talk) 20:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I think that you've made the edit code harder to read by unformating the inline citation templates and blurring the distinction between text and code. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 00:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Actionist article

I appreciate that The article I submitted on actionism was far form polished and lacking with proper context for its development as a useful part of the fabric of wikipedia. And I would still like to protest that it was deleted without notification on my talk page.

I understand you have taken it upon yourself to keep wikipedia free of superfluous articles, and I salute you. I will work hard to create a better article, perhaps starting form the begining of the story and not the middle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Grog (talk • contribs) 23:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

JP1000 & Friends (comic)

I've added the {{Comicsproj}} template to the Discussion/Talk page. I believe this webcomic has as much significance as others such as Shortpacked!

I am new to the process so let me know what else I need to do to publish an entry on this topic. Fans are requesting a wiki resource.

Re: United Kingdom

It was that you had added a T in the anthem, I know that Titantic was a US film. I know you where doing the right thing, but couldn't work out how that T got to be there. --AxG 12:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

R3

Hi. I'll be more careful in the future but notice that the definition of "recently created" varies for each person. The vast majority of administrators won't agree that a redirect created in 2007 is very old. In fact you are just the third administrator that complains that. For really old redirects I already have nominated many of them. I'll try to really reduce my limit from now on.

Btw, I would like to inform you that, I have requested that "recently created is removed from R3b criterion (check Misplaced Pages talk:Criteria for speedy deletion) and that many cases that were nominated in January 8th (12-13 days ago) are, for some reason, still open. (check Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2008 January 8).

Again, thanks for your advice. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 18:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

If a personal attack falls in the woods does it make a noise?

WP policy is best when interpreted as a general guideline. Someone creates a onetime article in a foreign language and runs away. My summary was a question, a question with an answer definite yes, but not a personal attack. Maybe an impersonal attack, perhaps. If you don't know who you're talking about how personal can a statement be? Example: "Those idiots in Washington are driving this economy into the ground." Not really personal. or I could take the Niel Cavuto question approach. Is Senator Harry Reid's stance on the Foreign Survaliance Act a sounding board for Islamic terrorists? Technically and legally it's only a question, not a defamatory statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitrebox (talk • contribs) 01:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain from accusing your fellow Wikipedians of Wikilawyering. It is a instigative trolling statement and may be considered a personal attack.--mitrebox (talk) 15:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
