Vandalism - and signing my name

Please look at these. The user not only vandalized the discussion page, he falsified my signature. --Pete K 20:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Yesterday, his name started with an "A" - I hope he doesn't plan on going through the entire alphabet with aliases. Pete K 15:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Advice for a newbie...

Longhair, can you tell me either how to make subsidiary pages within a page (i.e. in a discussion page, creating an archive page; or in a user page, making sub-pages) or where I can find this info? Tried with no luck User:MojoTas

Hot discussion

Hello. You welcomed me on June 20, 2005 . I think that, since you are an Australian admin you could help a bit in the issue in Talk:Hippolyte de Bouchard. Bouchard was an argentine corsair who, among may other things, conqueres California and as he was a corsair and not a conqueror he left and continued capturing Spanish ships. Now, User:Lordkinbote (Californian) and User:Mdhennessey (< 50 edits) want to put in the opening section a paragraph saying the Californian-Spanish of the XIX Century say he was a pirate because...

I deleted it because it was an oppinion "held by an extremely small (or vastly limited) minority" and so "it does not belong in Misplaced Pages regardless of whether it is true or not; and regardless of whether you can prove it or not. — WP:NPOV

And now they want a request for comment and possibly are probably not going to stop until the cruel murderer pirate has a very insulting article in WP. Please, if you have time, would you give us your oppinion? —Argentino (talk/cont.) 12:54, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

"Medatition"

Thanks for the encouragement. I suspect that this is Nathan. I think he means well, but needs to learn more about working with other people. On the brighter side, I think he's helped WikiCats and I to find some common ground :-) --Scott Davis 14:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

My administratorship candidacy succeeded with a final tally of 81/0/1. I appreciate your support, especially in light of the developing situation with an anonymous editor. I hope all goes well between us in the future. Thank you for your trust. Results of the candidacy are at Misplaced Pages:Recently_created_admins#Durova. Warmly, Durova 14:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Foreign language citation

Could you give us a hand in a discussion about whether citations to original texts in German need to be translated for editors who cannot read German? Hgilbert 15:33, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
