merge to Bioremediation

Hi,

please consider merging your article Bioremediation. into Bioremediation. Kpjas 08:41, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Say what?

To quote your edit on triphenylphosphine "DEAD) converts an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to an ester in carbon respiration." Vandalism or ridiculous or am I missing something?--Smokefoot 21:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Saw your note. I just couldnt figure out why anyone would insert a comment about respiration into an article on an organic reagent. It would be unfortunate if you ceased contributing just because of me, because you appear to have a lot to contribute. I am no administrator or anything official, just another person focused on inserting content for the common good. I also am still learning how to interact.--Smokefoot 15:33, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

You again?

Your unconstructive role on Athanasian Creed

Dude, if you have have any dispute about anything specific in that article, please question it SPECIFICALLY at an appropriate specific location, instead of adding a generic unspecific blanket "unsourced" template to an article which in fact is moderately well-sourced (certainly more so than hundreds of thousands of other articles on Misplaced Pages), or mechanically adding a "citation needed" marker to every single fricken section (including to the rubric of the text from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer!!!).

Unconstructive

It is very rude to shout like that, AnonMoos! However, I agreed that Timmy is being a bit of a pest and hope he can get a life elsewhere, soon.

If he just adds unspecific templates to the whole article (or indiscriminately to every single section thereof) -- when those who probably know a lot more about the Athanasian Creed then he does seem to be moderately well satisified with the current state of the article -- then he's not using the templates in a way that can reasonably be expected to result in useful improvement of the article. And if he can't tell the rubric of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer apart from the actual article text, then maybe he shouldn't be trying to edit the article in the first place...

I agree too that Timmy12 "is being a bit of a pest" and I too "hope he can get a life elsewhere, soon". His normal (or abnormal) modus operandi is to insert citation requests throughout an article, usually when they are quite unnecessary or, more childishly still, when they are already satisfied (cf the reference to the work of J.N.D. Kelly, for example)! He has similarly vandalised the article on Billy May, for example requesting a citation for the simple, factual statement that May was signed to Capitol Records. His actions are just puerile. (Sorry, Timmy, I suppose I need a citation for that) For the record, Misplaced Pages's own guidelines are that "Attribution is especially needed for direct quotes, information that is contentious or likely to be challenged, and superlatives and absolutes." Shouldn't need spelling out, really. I guess that Timmy's rather bitter and twisted comments on his User Page give the game away. Or does his user name indicate his age? Gervius

However, Timmy's interventions led me to improve Davies Gilbert and learn about Creeds from AnonMoos. Perhaps he/she will dialogue with us about his reasons for trying to wind us up.
