If you need help, check out [[Wikipedia:Questions]], ask me on [[User_talk:HJ Mitchell|my talk page]], or put <code>{&#123;helpme}}</code> (and what you need help with) on your talk page and someone will show up very soon to answer your questions. You also might want to consider being "[[WP:AAU|adopted]]" by an experienced user who would show you how wikipedia works through a program called adopt-a-user. Again, welcome!

Yeah, you know your way around, but I thought I'd leave you a template to get rid of the red link! ;) Now to give you everything I would have given you months ago but which the software won;t let me give to IPs!

:We'll start with the easy bits: 
*You're confirmed, so no more CAPTCHA, you can move pages, edit semi-protected pages and I think there are a few other perks
*[[WP:RBK|Rollback]]: You'll now have a little button next to undo that says "[rollback]"—makes whacking vandals much quicker (only vandals, mind—stick with undo for everything else)
:You probably won't have much use for the other things I can give you, but if you ever have a burning desire to create vast numbers of articles or move images, I can help. :) [[User:HJ Mitchell|<span style="color:Teal; font-family:Tahoma;">'''HJ&nbsp;Mitchell'''</span>]] &#124; [[User talk:HJ Mitchell|<span style="color:Navy; font-family:Times New Roman;">Penny for your thoughts? </span>]]  00:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

==Bushwick==
Yeah, the contributor is trying to erase the bad, yet factual history, and then to make it worse is trying to distort reality. Often time when trying to edit this particular page I encounter people like this. Even if you try to offer a rational solution or compromise they lash out. Unfortunately much like the wikipage the neighborhood itself has an identity crises. I am from the neighborhood and I would love to edit but my view would be biased too. But I will try to see if we can get somewhere with this contributor.--[[User:El Mayimbe|El Mayimbe]] ([[User talk:El Mayimbe|talk]]) 22:34, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
:Additionally, i think this contributor is perhaps an ip that made a profile for him/herself. If you look at the discussion page it is riddled with the same nonsense.--[[User:El Mayimbe|El Mayimbe]] ([[User talk:El Mayimbe|talk]]) 22:55, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
::Thank you for your attention El Mayimbe. Indeed I saw some correlation between IP edits and the current situation. I was unsure about the value of the edits as, sometimes, apparently dubious edits such as these ''are'' removing vandalism/s or unsourced statements. AGF, but with your input, editors' failure to communicate, multiple section blanking, and as much of the deleted content ''was'' sourced this certainly seems ''not'' to be the case. <s>As you feel ' involved' I would think that a full revert might be in order?</s> But I see you have ''already'' boldly done so. I ''fully'' support your 'mega-revert' here. :) 
::I note that [[Bushwick, Brooklyn]] has nearly 300 page views per day, at least over the last 6 months. This seemed rather high to me,  but [[Queens]] gets about 2,000, so it seems normal for these types of articles.

Hello 220 of Borg.

:Thanks Typ932, I have been back there since, and reverted  an edit calling the company defunct. The general view, without actually discussing it on the articles talk page, seems to be is that this is a ''bit'' premature. Companies do trade out of bankruptcy/receivership or are bought by someone. Some IP editors seem to be very eager to bury the company (without sources!). You might want to cast your 'expoert' eye over the relevant section ([[Youngman#Saab]]) of the [[Youngman]] Page too. It seems more  than a little out of date.

== Christchurch 2011 Earthquake ==

Dear 220 of Borg,
Thankyou for your message and sorry for such a late reply.

- I have done some editing (also wrote what I have edited in the page) letting people know what I have done. I have also removed some information and made it my graph a simple one. 
- I had originally posted the earthquaks from September due to February actually being considered a Aftershock of the 2010 Earthquake, I have removed the September ones off the graph though,
as It does not apply to the 2011 Earthquake.
- All the facts and information that is on the page is from GNS Science, Earthquake programme "Geonet New Zealand" which is funded by the Earthquake commission in New Zealand.
I have gotten all information from and only them. I have not used information from other sources, as Geonet is the New Zealand earthquake seismology and the Information they get is much more accurate
then other places in the world.

If there is anything else in which you are unhappy with I'll be happy to read and will reply a.s.a.p, Rifled.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Rifled|Rifled]] ([[User talk:Rifled|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rifled|contribs]]) 02:13, 26 December 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

# Thank you for replying {{user|Rifled}}, though it ''may'' have been better to reply on ''your'' talk page to keep the conversation together. Don't worry about that, it doesn't really matter.<br>
# I did also drop a {{diff2|467530689|message}} at  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Earthquakes]] on the  [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Earthquakes|talkpage]], asking for an editor more experienced in earthquakes to review your edits. I'm not sure anyone has even seen the message yet!<br>
# Thank you for the edit summaries. They don't have to be ''quite'' so long though! {{=)|grin}} Common words such as "remove/d can" be contracted to "rmv" or even a minus sign "-". See [[Wikipedia:Edit summary legend]] for more abbreviations. <br>
# As for sources, what I care about is that when you make a change, it is easy for other editors to see ''why'' the change is being made ie. sourced figure has been updated, ''where'' it came from, and even ''when'' it was obtained (as some figures change frequently). The problem we have is that some vandals (whether 'registered' or '[[IP address|IP]]' editors) delight in randomly changing figures. But if each  figure or chart/table has a [[Wikipedia:CITATION|citation]] for it, then they can be [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verified]] much easier. The tools to do this are in your [[Wikipedia:refToolbar 2.0|editing toolbar]], at the far right where it says {{blue|Cite}}. Click on that, go to the left side, click where it says '''Templates''', select a template (probably  '''cite web''' for your purposes, and then you merely need to fill in the various boxes. You can even "[[drag and drop]]" text from the sources page into the templates [[Field (computer science)|field boxes]]. 
#I have edited the source URL as it did ''not'' link to the actual page the data was on. I have also added a cite for the "Canterbury region long-term probabilities" charts.

# Signing your talkpage comment does not mean typing in ''"Rifled''". You either type in <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (which the software ''automatically'' converts to your signature when you save or preview it), or use the signature ''button'' on the editing toolbar above the editing window, which just enters the four [[tilde]]s anyway. - [[user:220 of Borg|'''220''']] [[User talk:220 of Borg|''<small>of</small>'']] <sup>[[Special:Contributions/220 of Borg| ''Borg'']]</sup> 09:56, 26 December 2011 (UTC)


Hi thanks for your messages, I must say I'm not a expert at wikipedia but I am experienced in Earthquakes, my only problem is im not 100% familiar with wikipedia, and thus I must apologise and your messages are helping me do it right.

:You are very welcome. I am glad that I have helped you. One of our 'behavioral guidelines' is "[[Wikipedia:BITE|Don't bite the newbies]]". I seem to have suceeded! {{=)|grin}}<br>
:'''•''' My best suggestion is to just look around the articles that interest you and look out for errors, or the need for updates. Also look out for [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] and learn how to [[Wikipedia:Reverting|revert]] it. You can pick pages to watch using your [[Wikipedia:Watchlist|watchlist]].<br>
:'''•''' When editing use an informative (not ''too'' long!) edit summary.
:'''•''' Don't be too eager to write a [[Wikipedia:New articles|new article]]. Many new editors do that as their first edit to WP and get a nasty shock when it is very quickly deleted. You have started learning what is needed for an article to be encyclopaedic. There is still more to learn!
:'''•''' If earthquakes are a special interest then I would suggest  joining [[WikiProject Earthquakes]]. 
:I hope you had a good Christmas. I am available to help you any time I am on-line. You can also get help at [[Wikipedia:New contributors' help page]].

== A Solid Knock  ==

Ok sir i am agree with you but problem with editing is that writing on wikipedia is too much controlled and regulated. I do not know why other users look for so much the extent of rightness in already right thing.There  tens of wiki are there which simply shows that they are not neutral, they directly so the user relation with that religion,place,person why do n't you neutralize them.I am reading them from long time.  First thing is that its too much difficult to decide which word will be better I do not know that "impressed" word was ok or not at place of "attracted" but what i can do, i think there is no else popular " young sufi singer" in india. And for that city that sentence was very very important. Secondly i do not understand if you know what is right and what is wrong why don't you made correction instead of deletion or reversion. I am on wikipedia since last one year but posting of such messages on user page and reversion is really bothering. Some one add text for information not for entertainment or publicity it should be understood by top users.

[[User:Dharam00000007|A man from Matrix]] ([[User talk:Dharam00000007|talk]]) 21:09, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

:Hello Dharam00000007 (aka A man from Matrix}<br>
:When you reply to  a note on your talkpage it is a good idea to make it clear what you are talking about, by [[Wikipedia:Linking|linking]] to the article concerned, which in this case appears to be [[Punahana]]. I have tried to answer your questions (numbered) below.
# Wikipedia is an [[Encyclopædia]] not just a '[[wiki]]', that is why it is "much controlled and regulated".
# I do not want to dissuade you from contributing to English Wikipedia (enWP), but if you have trouble editing WP in English, then perhaps there is a WP in your native language that you may find more suitable? You say elsewhere you have only been studying English for 2 years, so that is a barrier to your editing here. On the other hand you have knowledge that India related articles need that I will never have. So that is an area that you can almost certainly help En:WP with.
# It is irrelevant that "for that city that sentence was very very important". What is important is [[wp:verifiability]] and [[wp:notability]]. If you cannot find a source to show a persons notability then it seems that they are ''not'' notable, and therefore should ''not'' be on WP. When such text about a living person is added to a page it MUST have a reliable source. You may ''know'' it is true, but you have to be able to verify your knowledge. Far too much complete rubbish ie. untrue, defamatory, badly biased and nearly impossible to understand text is added to ''many'' articles.
# I am a fairly normal (possibly 'middle' ranking) user as I have been editing regularly on Wikipedia since September 2009. I started by just wandering around articles that seemed of interest and either correcting minor mistakes, or updating out of date text. I then spent a lot of time fixing references and then got more involved in current events. You have relatively few edits, so I ''suggest'' that you look around WP and do as I did. This is very important work. 
# I have not even, on my own created an entirely new article, though I have a few drafts floating around. But because of the time I have waited I know how to do it correctly. I see that you created a new article on your 4th edit. Nothing to stop you doing that, though it has been discussed and ''I'' think it is a bad idea because many new editors have no idea how to do it 'properly'.
:* On an unrelated matter your username  is problematic. I think it is far too long, why so many (seven)zeros? Dharam seems to be a fairly common part of many usernames but '''[[user:Dharam 7|Dharam 7]]''' ''is'' available. You can get a user name change, if you like. See [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] (I see from your edits you already know this, and have also been advised by another editor to alter your username)
:* Secondly your signature is slightly deceptive. I assume [[Wikipedia:Good faith|good faith]] here, but your sig. says "{{green|A man from Matrix}}". If it said "{{green|Dharam from Matrix}}" so it ''slightly'' resembled your username it would be better. Please see [[wp:Signature]] for more details. The relevant section says '' "Signatures which include no reference to the user's username (for example by signing with a nickname, as in [[User:Example|User:Nickname]]) are strongly discouraged, as it can be confusing for editors (particularly newcomers). The actual username always appears in the page history, so using just the nickname on the relevant talk page can make it appear to be a different person." '' which is at [[Wikipedia:Signatures#Dealing with signatures' behaviour issues]].
:* Finally, It is not necessary to refer to any editor by the honorific title "Sir". {{=)|smile}}

== Thank you ==

You wrote a long paragraph to make me understand, thanks for that.I was having many queries and I asked few question from two three users but they are like robots. They behave like very professional persons. I don't know what's wrong in sharing information with others ;because they are approved good users.I am thankful to you that you replied in really good descriptive manner. I have many constraints.Everything is achievable but it just need time and lot of practice I was trying them in short time that is my mistake.But whatever I am writing on WP is just for information, knowledge and convenience. Because the area I have covered in my edits is the most backward area of India so I was trying to highlight these areas because I don't think it will be done by someone in the future. People here don't believe in study and area is full of illiterate people, no bus services,inferior roads, no power supply. But this area is part of India's most developed state.The information I am sharing hardly have any reference because no one bothers about these people and area so without reference information is useless (a/c to WP). But that sufi singer definitely having many references. As far as my name is concerned ,there is no need to worry about that because I will be no longer here on WP for edits to disturb the status of elite panel of WP. And I am sorry for my poor command over English language. It's not my tongue language and I started learning it few years ago.

Thank You Very Much.

I also strongly suggested that they should listen to experienced editors (mentioning your and Bar Code Symmetrys' edit counts, hope that was ok :-/ ). I may now be trouted for biteing a noob!  :-o

== Warning levels ==
Hi 220_of_Borg. May I rustle your pines?
Thanks for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:108.72.203.247&diff=prev&oldid=471327196 this revert], but if you check the [[wp:diff|diff]], you'll see you used Template:uw-unsourced2. The 2 means it's a warning at level 2 on the 1-4 warning scale. Is there a reason why you chose level 2? Normally, first warning would be level 1, next=2, next=3, next=4, next=blocked. Please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_user_warnings/Usage_and_layout#Levels]] if you've not read it lately. 

Actually there's no harm done, as the user again misbehaved, so I gave him a lvl2 also!

Anyway, I see you've taken to WP very quickly, and it's great you use [[wp:TW|TW]] to revert vandalism.

Happy editing, [[User:Trafford09|Trafford09]] ([[User talk:Trafford09|talk]]) 16:30, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
:That's a common misconception, and precisely why I hate the current 1-4 scale. There's no obligation to start at level one or finish at level four. I've been known to start at level three and then block without further warning. I'm of the opinion that nobody should ever receive all four warnings before being reported/blocked, because they all have a slightly different purpose and tone. Level one is an assumption of good faith ("it might not have been your intention..."), while level 2 makes no assumption of faith ("please refrain..."), three is a cease and desist ("please stop..."), and four is a last warning ("If you continue ... you will be blocked"). You should start with the message most appropriate to the edit, and if the edit is obviously not just a test and not intended to improve Wikipedia, then start with a level two or even level three. The reason automated tools and bots increment by one each time is that they can't make a judgement on the severity of the vandalism or the user's history. Humans can, and therefore should.

:: Point noted - thanks. [[User:Trafford09|Trafford09]] ([[User talk:Trafford09|talk]]) 16:53, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

@ Trafford09. <br>Hi, Trafford09, thank you for your POV. I class the welcome template I used as ''roughly'' equivalent to a '''level 1 warning'''. I think this is better than a immediate level 1 (agf) warning-''only'' template as I; welcome the noob, 'chastise' them (without 'biting'), ''and'' point them in the right direction with links in case they are just a little misguided. They can't complain they weren't warned! So I would suggest upgrading ''yours'' to a level 3 warning.

In fact, having another look at their edit history (Esp. since your post) they have added un-sourced information to Costa Concordia '''7 times''' across 3 hours, 5 times after first warning (and 3 more since your post here). They <s>should be</s> '''<u>are</u>''' blocked now! The last 5 edits was also the ''same'' text so edit warring and 3RR violation too. And that {{diff2|471356242|'''text'''}} was rather un-encyclopedic and, potentially, needlessly distressing for any readers who knew passengers aboard that ship. On the other hand if it ''was'' true, not particularly relevant unless a RS mentioned it or a passenger ''was'' attacked by a predator. <br> 

<big>'''{{blue|•}}'''</big> As a matter of procedure I have therefore added a {{tlb|uw-ew}} [[Edit warring]] Template to the editors collection. <br>And I agree with HJ, the warning level depends on the nature of the edit in question. A particularly bad, blatant and badly sourced or un-sourced BLP vio could and ''should'' result in an immediate higher lvl warning or even an immediate preventative block.

== Request for Keit to "assimilate" ==

Thank you for your request to me via the Reference Desk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Science#Why_do_consumer_electronics_use_DC.3F) to register.

I have been much discouraged from registering by peanut admin folk discussing whether to block me on their (publicly accesible!) Admin noticeboard, admin discussions on whether I'm a troll, or someone else quite unlikely, and by their occaisional bizare discussion on blocking others.  (notwithstanding that certain nuisances I could name popping up with impunity when they are bored - they will know who they are).  As my IP address changes each time I boot up the PC, I can come and go as I wish.  Registering would only make it easier from them to block me. 
 
I always, unless it is obviously otherwise, assume OP's have posted their questions with genuine need to know.understand, or a genuine desire to know/understand, and I only post if the subject falls within my competence and I believe I am being helpful. I do challenge folk who have posted things incorrect. So it's a bit mystifying why Admin folk think I'm a threat - perhaps they have either too much or too litle to do.

:Well if they annoy you on the Admin board, imagine what thay say when they talk privately (e-mail etc) to each other!  (just kidding ;-). 
:Re Ref desk, yes some of the answers on the DC query were made in good faith, but were just ''not'' correct. 
:It's naturally up to you if you want to register. I myself spent over 2 years as an IP editor ([[static IP]]) and did over 12,000 edits. But registering made many tools (like [[wp:twinkle|Twinkle]]) available that  help me a lot, so I wish I had registered earlier, though I am not editing as much as I used to. The trick to being block-free is not to get into hassles with anyone. (and not edit warring!)  The only threat of blocking I got was from an editor (IP) whose vandalism I reverted. AFAIR ''they'' were later blocked, very amusing!

== 2012 Aurora shooting ==
there must be some sort of error.the only change i have made to this account is changing the infobox title to "2012 aurora massacre" other than that i don't recall any other edits.[[User talk:videogamesbeast|talk]]) 21:13, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

:I think that I was referring to the message at the top of your page ""i pray to god ...". Such things are probably, technically, by strict enforcement of the rules, ''not'' allowed on Wikipedia(WP) but ''if'' you make a lot of good edits it is likely it will be ignored. (And I did say "''I share your feelings about the Aurora shooting"''.) Some people, for instance, have very strange theories and ideas that they try to use WP, especially their user page, to promote. This is called [[wp:SOAPBOX|'soapboxing']]. These editors are likely to be [[wp:Template messages/User talk namespace|warned]] first and if they continue they are probably [[wp:blocked|blocked]] from editing  and eventually [[wp:ban|banned]] from editing if they continue to infringe [[WP:policy]].  

:As for your edit, The title of the page was [[2012 Aurora Shooting]] ''not'' [[massacre]]. 
:1) The infobox title should match the page title. Your edit was made in [[wp:Good Faith Edits|good faith]], but be wary of doing similar edits.<br>
::- If you had a good reason for changing Shooting to Massacre than you should have said so in an [[Help:Edit summary |edit summary]].

:2) If it was only your opinion or [[point of view]] it is contrary to the [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]] policy which says "''Editing from a neutral point of view (NPOV) means representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|reliable sources]].''" 

:3) As Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, we try to keep our personal opinions out of it. For example WP is [[wp:not censored|not censored]]. I have seen things here that made me feel uncomfortable, but that is the way it is. To be '[[encyclopaedic]]', WP must cover subjects that we find distateful and ideas that we strongly disagree with or even find extremely offensive. 

:4) I see that you have 115 edits on WP, (see [http://toolserver.org/~tparis/pcount/index.php?name=Videogamesbeast&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia here]) but 75 of those are edits to your userpage. Remember thet WP is [[WP:NOTMYSPACE|not MySpace]] or FaceBook. See [[Wikipedia:User pages]] for more information.

:5)  You have made only [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=100&tagfilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Videogamesbeast&namespace=0&tagfilter=&year=&month=-1 3 edits] to a WP article page. I suggest that you find some pages on subjects that interest you, and try to expand/correct/improve them or find a [[wp:notable|notable]] subject to write a [[wp:new page|new page]] about. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games]] may be of interest.

:Glad to hear you take WP seriously videogamesbeast. I do not think that you are 'abusing' your account in any way. Just that if you ''are'' serious, then having a much higher usepage edit count than article edit count is not an ideal situation.

== Response to your comment on my talk page about [[Gas flare]] and [[Blowdown stack]] ==

First of all, a "Flare stack", a "Gas flare" and a "Blowdown stack" are all one and the same thing. In my 50 years of designing refineries and natural gas plants and operating them, the most common usage is "Flare stack". [[Flare stack]] exists now, but it redirects to [[Gas flare]].

* The [[Gas flare]] article needs to be re-named as [[Flare stack]] and the current [[Blowdown stack]] needs to be merged into the [[Flare stack]] article.
* "Gas flare" and "Blowdown stack" need to be redirected to [[Flare stack]].
* The first sentence of the renamed article should be revised to read: 
::A '''flare stack''', alternatively known as a '''gas flare''' or as a '''blowdown stack,''' is a gas combustion device ......

Merging [[Blowdown stack]] into [[Flare stack]] would require little if any actual merging. Perhaps your added reference to the BP explosion is all that is needed. 

I would urge you to make those changes because I simply don't want to get involved in what may turn into a hassle. [[User:Mbeychok|mbeychok]] ([[User talk:Mbeychok|talk]]) 15:53, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

:Thanks for your response {{user0|Mbeychok}}.
:'''•''' If it's of any interest my edits followed seeing a TV documentary [[BP: Profits and Disaster]], which was all about BP's supposedly lackadaisical attitude to safety,"''Long before the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, BP was widely viewed as a company that valued deal-making and savvy marketing over safety, ..''" etc, (Blurb from a TV guide [http://www.yourtv.com.au/guide/event.aspx?program_id=267800&event_id=48604280&region_id=73 '''here'''])
:'''•''' In view of the fact that the ''Gas flare'' page apparently needs to be moved to the ''existing'' re-direct ''Flare stack'', I ''think'' that an Admin is needed to perform to move. A source to support your assertion about the common usage of 'flare stack'  (Which I do not doubt! - "50 years of designing refineries and natural gas plants" {{P|6}}) would be good. {{P|lightbulb}}
:'''•''' Interestingly the TV docu. segments on the BP [[Texas City Refinery explosion]] seem to imply, if not actually say IIRC, that a "Flare stack" and a "Blowdown stack" (they also say "Blowdown ''drum''") are ''not'' the same. The main difference being the absence of a 'flare' to burn off the 'vented' gases perhaps? Variations of the same device? I'll have to re-watch the program.

::If you look at the schematic flow diagram that I drew for the current [[Gas flare]] article, you will see a "liquid knockout drum" which is part of a well-designed flare system. The drum is often referred to as a "blowdown drum".

::I don't think that an admin is needed to move articles to new names. I've done it many times. But now that I am 89 years old, I just don't want to get too involved.

:: As for a reference source for my saying that flare stacks and blowdown stacks are one and the same, I seriously doubt that anyone has ever written article on that subject.

:::Nice diagram. ([http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FlareStack_System.png FlareStack System.png]). The problem with the name 'move' is that there is an ''existing'' page (re-direct) at that name. If the re-direct was ''not'' there, then it would indeed be a simple matter to 'move' [[Gas flare]] to [[Flare stack]]. I believe that the 'Flare stack' re-direct will need to be deleted ''first'' to 'free' the name for use, hence an Admin function.

''I Goofed''

I am sorry I lost the citation and could not find the documentation again. I am not very good on the computer. I tried and gave up.
"Petraeus stated "Clearly, she (Broadwell) connived her way into my pants to destroy the good name of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.” Was from a news article that I did not cite because I lost it. I did not think it was tripe. I was surprised at Petraeus' statement and suspicion of Broadwell's motives. I thought the quote had value. The statement was copied and pasted. I did not make it up. I am not that creative. It is on a news bulletin on line somewhere. Sorry, I goofed. It was not an attempt to vandalize. I keep forgetting every  word I add on the Wikipedia without a citation has no value and is looked on with suspicion by others. I have also found citing from a published book that is somewhat obscure has no value. Even if the just of the material can immediately be found elsewhere. The curiosity of others is not at the same level as mine. I imagine you will never do a search for the quote and document it yourself, since you think it is tripe. We have different values and perceptions. To me a quote is only a quote. It has historical value.

== Just a thought ==

Have you considered archiving this page? You can get a bot to do it if you want (there's some code at the top of my talk page you can copy and change my username to yours), but manual editing is easy enough when you don't have a very busy talk page. It just makes current discussions easier to find and reduces the page load time.

Hi, The Magnificent Clean-keeper<br>
The silliness at [[Lech Kaczyński]] continues, {{user|212.14.57.130}} (at [[West Pomeranian University of Technology]] by the way) has re-added their unsourced fringe theories at least twice since you reverted them last.

== Username patrolling ==

I was going through [[CAT:UAA]] when I noticed that you had made a username-policy notification at [[User talk:Angliss]]. Although it's not that important, and there's no real harm done, we usually ignore any improper usernames that haven't edited in a while, since they're likely to not edit again. In this case, the user last edited in October 2011, so that issue could have been ignored. But, like I said, no real harm done.

== Deletion of [[2012 New Zealand primetime television schedule]] ==

I have declined your request to speedy delete [[2012 New Zealand primetime television schedule]]. I did this because [[WP:NOT]] is not a reason for speedy deleting a page - see the first example at [[WP:NOTCSD]].

:Ok Od Mishehu (till now I thought it was ''Old'' Mishehu {{P|4}}). I missed that criteria, but I can see your point. I looked around and found a few interesting discussions at the Village Pump, AFDs etc, on the subject of these types of articles. (IIRC I once came across someone putting an un-encyclopaedic list of bus routes [or was it a timetable?] on WP.) 
:I have no experience in AfD, a hangover from my IP editing days when CSD was much easier to do than AfD (couldn't create the AfD page as an IP!).
