Spoken Languages, English is being horribly underrated

I think that the english language is being short handed in the most spoken languags around the world article... Ok, if English is the primary language in Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia (Australian English), the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Belize, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the British Virgin Islands, Canada (Canadian English), the Cayman Islands, Dominica, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guernsey, Guyana, Isle of Man, Jamaica (Jamaican English), Jersey, Montserrat, Nauru, New Zealand (New Zealand English), Ireland (Hiberno-English), Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the United Kingdom (various forms of British English), the U.S. Virgin Islands the United States (various forms of American English), and Zimbabwe.. then we should probably up the number of primary speakers of English by..... ALOT...... If the US is going on 300 million people, the united kingdom 60 million, australia 50 million... that passed the 400 million mark already and that's not including the other heap of countries that were just listed. I'm not saying that everyone in these countries only speak english or that it's their primary language, but the overwhelming majority of people in each one of these countries speak english as their main language..... And even if someone started with a particular language as a child, the goal is to identify their primary language, as in the most used and applied language to daily life. If you speak spanish to a handful of relatives, and speak english just as well to the rest of the world... I think it's safe to say that English is a primary language, or maybe a person could have 2 primary languages.... You can check wikipedia.com or other census verifying websites to any of the info I've displayed. Another intersting topic would probably be the influence of the enlgish language throughout the world and how english television, music, the internet, and other mediums greatly expand the engish language's territory.


WikiProject North Dakota

I just thought I should point out that you have never added your name to the list of WPND participants. I would encourage you to list yourself so we can know just who is a part of the project. Have a nice day! --MatthewUND(talk) 07:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding that list of "ghost towns" and other unincorporated communities to the Ward County page. I think lists like that are fascinating and very informative. Hopefully we can get stuff like that going for other counties too. --MatthewUND(talk) 23:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On further consideration, I'm a little worried about adding all of these ghost towns and unicorporated communities to county articles. I mean, a few are ok, but I'm worried that this could really snowball. It seems like anybody could edit a county article and add a made up town of some sort and we might not be able to catch it. I would hate to see people start populating county articles with communities that really don't exist...that would be a bad practice. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but it would great if we could get some type of citations for some of these towns so we would have some proof that they actually exist (or existed). Otherwise, adding all of the undocumentable places are a little iffy, in my opinion. --MatthewUND(talk) 07:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't overuse the v-word

Per this edit, please read WP:VAND. This was not vandalism, and overusing of such term is as offensive as calling other editors trolls, idiots and such. Per WP:CIV and WP:NPA, please think carefuly before using such words again. Thank you, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  18:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is your second warning: if you abuse the term 'vandalism' (like here), you may be reported to WP:PAIN and blocked for incivility.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  00:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ask LUCPOL, not me. It is obvious he is not changing those words in bad faith, thus it is not vandalism.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  01:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

common translations

I just noticed that you fixed some of my common translations! Thanks alot, it was much appreciated. For these actions, i hereby award you this barnstar.

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
I, Chrislk02, award you this random acts of kindness barnstar for fixing some messed up translations I had on my user page! Thanks you, it was much appreciated. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly is it that you reverted? What you did was edit the article. The "revert" didn't even undo the changes I made (which were legit by the way). I can see others have mentioned that you shouldn't be using the word vandalism as liberally as you do. You should probably listen. Thernlund (Talk | Contribs) 03:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. You did undo my change (GLOCK to Glock). It was legit. I won't change it back as I don't really care how right or wrong video game articles are. I'd recommend putting it back though. As I said, it was legit as per Talk:Glock. Thernlund (Talk | Contribs) 03:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see you did put it back. Nice. Games aren't really my area of interest so it wasn't that important to me personally, but I do appreciate the acknowledgement. Thanks. Thernlund (Talk | Contribs) 17:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(Northern) Kosovo

Serbian North Kosovo is to Pristina the same thing that Kosovo is to Belgrade. Only recently the bridge connecting Kosovan Mitrovica with its northern part was re-opened, but civil unrest erupted again as some Albanians attacked the north. North Kosovo is separated from the rest.

The north is managed by political parties which boycott all Kosovar elections (also the population of northern Kosovo) - the same thing Kosovo's Albanians do when there are Serbian elections and censuses. The region is unitary governed by a parallel government of the "Autonomous Province of Kosovo-Metohija" which is recognized by Belgrade as the the only legitimate KosMet's governing body. The Serbian flags are only present on institutions in northern Kosovo. And in the end, that's the only part that officially uses the Serbian Dinar, and that is still de facto a part of Serbia (unlike the rest of Kosovo which is only de jure). --PaxEquilibrium 10:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Also, please see WP:VAND to find out and finally understand what is vandalism. As I see you have been several times directed at this policy, so that's why I say "finally" (nothing in bad faith). Cheers. --PaxEquilibrium 11:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of Hungarians

I notice you have twice removed uncited material. As around half the page is uncited and you keep removing the same couple people, what is the motivation for removing those people? Please don't remove things without mentioning it on the talk page. These people are hungarian and there are sources to prove it. sometimes it just takes awhile for people to get around to sourcing things. Acornwithwings 06:12, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

I would ask you to clarify what you meant, when you said "vandalism by numerous users" in your last edit summary for this article. Only one editor added the information that you removed from the infobox, and my first edit to this article today removed a part of that information by mistake. Since some of the information was available at the Playstation.com source [1], I assumed that it was added to the article in good faith, so I re-inserted the part that I removed. Whether you were including me in your assessment of "vandalism by numerous users" or not, perhaps you should read through this section of Wikipedia policy before you make such an allegation in the future. RobWill80 21:07, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your term amper for ampere seemed a bit out of left field, so I reverted it. What are you thinking? Dicklyon 05:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Servian (disambiguation)

I assume you would be interested in the AfD for the article Servian (disambiguation). Duja 09:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't rush ahead so much with page moves. I appreciate your boldness, but you aren't helping: it took me an hour to clean up the whole Servia/Servian thing: fix multiple mis-links and links to dab page, sort out page histories, move the place articles in line with naming conventions, fix double redirects, format the dab page per WP:MOSDAB etc. Duja 09:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't Have To Rub It In

On the List of The Colbert Report episodes (2007). I admitted I don't have very good grammer by correcting myself. But you didn't have to rub it in, by calling it childish. Now correct this, teacher! Lugnut215 23:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mühlhausen

I noticed you moved Mühlhausen to Mühlhausen (Thuringia) and made Mühlhausen redirect to Mulhouse. I disagree with this for several reasons. Your rationale that Mulhouse is more recognizable is disputable; I would argue that Mühlhausen is more recognizable because of its importance during the Reformation and the Thirty Years War. Secondly, Mulhouse is primarily known in English as "Mulhouse", not as Mülhausen. Thirdly, Mühlhausen (disambiguation) and Mulhausen have already existed to disambiguate between the cities. While some of the descriptions and links could be clarified, I do not see the need to have Mulhouse be the primary topic, especially when "Mühlhausen" and "Mülhausen" are spelled differently. Mühlhausen should be moved back to its original location; if you would like to move it to a different title, please initiate a move request. Cheers, Olessi 19:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Misinterpretation

Thanks for getting that right. I had actually thought that the user I tagged committed the vandalism that user:Dan500 committed, which is why I used a third level warning. The "Vice City rocks" vandalism would've just been a first level warning, unless that user has a history. Anyway, thanks again. Croctotheface 18:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kalm and German

I ask you again, what does German has to do with the trivia in Død Kalm? The episode is situated in Norway, and doesn't, as far as I know, have any references to Germany whatsoever. And could you please explain what "Kalm" means in German, since I can't look it up in my German-Danish dictionary or on Wiktionary. --Emilsj 14:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, sorry, i mixed it up with de:Kalmen
Kalmen (Windstillen, von franz. calme = Flaute)
Searching for Flaute on Wikipedia gave me this:
List of compositions by Juan María Solare

First of all, please keep all discussion in the place that it originated, else it will be pretty hard for other people to follow it. Second, I ask you now for the third time, what does the German word has to do with the article? --Emilsj 17:20, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mind answering me any time soon? --Emilsj 20:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Categorizing german dogs

I see that you're busily putting dog breeds into the Category:German dogs but I'm not quite sure why some of them would go there. I put the Plotthound back to a U.S. breed as it was clearly developed in the U.S., even though it had some german dogs in its ancestry. And not sure why the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog classifies as a german dog when it is, in fact, swiss?? Elf | Talk 04:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Sources for Proto-Germanic

Hi. Regarding your amendments to the article Robert, I have provided sources for all the versions I added, and you really should be able to provide a source for your "Proto-germanic" version. Doubtless what you have added is correct - but without a source, who is to say? I have changed it back until you can do the necessary. Best,HeartofaDog 00:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder to cite sources

The unsourced material you recently replaced was not removed by vandals, but rather the result of discussion on the talk page. Please do not reinstate this original research without reliable sources for validation purposes. Sorry for any inconvenience or confusion. Thanks, (jarbarf) 23:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason you are cleaing this from your talk page? [2] It's no big deal, but a simple acknowledgement would be nice. (jarbarf) 23:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flags in metropolis article

I was wondering why are you repitedly changing the flags of Kazan and and ufa from the Russian national flag to the regional flags of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan? All other cities have their national flags posted next to them, so why not these two? Should we change the USA flag next to Denver to Colorado's flag? Db1944 19:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? These arent regions at all... they are Republics. See Republics of Russia, Federal subjects of Russia -- Hrödberäht (talk) 19:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's exactly my point! They are sub-national entities! All other cities have their NATIONAL flags posted next to them, but only these two have sub-national flags. Is there a reason why you insist on this? Db1944 22:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: “A little left out”

Sorry, I guess the tag requesting that noöne edit the article whilst the flags were being added grabbed mine attention; I had not realised that others had started the work priorly. Unto the extent that you contributed to the work of adding the flags, then you are entitled unto a just proportion of the credit therefor. If you would like a barnstar, as an explicit acknowledgement of the work you put into the metropolis article, then I would gladly give you one, and would not begrudge the request. It would be indefensibly inconsistent of me not to grant such a request. Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 22:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Culture of Saint Lucia

I noticed that you classified the Culture of Saint Lucia category under the category Category:Germanic culture. Please could you clarify why you have done this. Many thanks. --Vivenot 15:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ask for a favor

Hi! Since you are an experienced wikipedian and an English native speaker:

I am going to nominate film director Abbas Kiarostami for GA/FA soon. It is now under peer review. It would be great if you could take a look at it and comment on it. Thanks and have a nice day. Sangak 16:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Early modern english

Hi,I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit to Early Modern English, because it doesn't make sense: Early Modern English is not a form of Middle English. If anything, it's a form of Modern English.

RuakhTALK 21:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LUCPOL

perhaps if he does it again you should report him, but at the least you should try to help this editor in realizing what he has been doing wrong. but then again, it looks like he is relatively experienced, has he been blocked before?

--Jadger 21:07, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would report him to admin then, he seems to be very disruptive.

--Jadger 01:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would report it here or wherever it is best suited from the list of noticeboards at the top of that link I just gave you. Also, you have not been breaking the 3RR as you were reverting vandalism, although you rarely hear anyone get away with that excuse anymore.

--Jadger 01:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did you ever make a report about any of this incident anywhere. I'm looking at this and thinking that you may be clear of wrong doing. As you only have 3 revers on Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union where as LUCPOL has 4. If you report anywhere report at WP:AN/3RR. --Wildnox(talk) 02:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you can make a seperate report, and I suggest doing so. Please use the template at the bottom of the page though instead of making a random jumble of information as LUCPOL did. --Wildnox(talk) 02:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been looking through his contribs and I see no abusive history. I have notified him of your report. JFBurton 20:07, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And have you been through his entire block log? JFBurton 20:25, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted a message on his page that he has been accused of sockpuppetry. I'll be willing to help in this situation. Retiono Virginian 17:49, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the user has violated WP:SOCK why hasn't he been indefblocked? yet his userpage makes him look as a legitimate user. Retiono Virginian 17:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guess what. I think multiple 3RR'S and Sock violations which has gone on for months is not needed. I'm starting a request for Arbcom. Just to inform you. Retiono Virginian 18:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have opened the case for Arbcom. See here [3]. Retiono Virginian 18:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please state your view on the arbcom. As you are a key user involved in the case. You need to support my case on his socks, disruption, and other incidents. Retiono Virginian 18:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moin! I received your message about your troubles with LUCPOL. I haven't much experience with that particular editor, but it seems to be more of a content dispute than disruptive vandalism. My edit to Silesia was done to mediate between the two of you, not to pick one side over the other; sovereign lands can indeed be referred to as states, although "country" is the most common designation. Instead of going through Wikipedia:Requests for investigation, I would advise you to use Wikipedia:Requests for comment or contact the Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal. Cheers, Olessi 17:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at both sides and I find it difficult to see who is right, AFAICT you both broke the same policies (CIV) and are having a content dispute. I translated LUCPOL's entry, and in this particular case I would advice mediation cabal - if you can find a mediator with knowledge of Polish language to trasnlate to and for LUCPOL (I most certainly will not have time to do that, I am afraid).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  18:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is Answer: (translating for Piotrus)
My English is poor, indeed, I had much difficulty understanding R9tgokunks. So:

  1. Case: Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union - Name Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union (polish: Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny) it's an old, now unused name retired by the new government (after elections of autumn 2006). "Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny" was replaced by "Silesia". Examples: [4] in [5]: [6], [7], [8] in [9], [10], [11], [12] (etc...) and pl.Wikinews. Polish Wikipedia for long months had article pl:Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny, and were politicians changed the name to "Silesia" than Polish wiki gained a new article pl:Silesia (miasto) (english: "Silesia city"). They both described the same thing after some discussions I created a redirect [13], but we delayed renaming "Silesia (miasto)" as it is a current process and we want to see what happens. But Polish wki article states: "Silesia (dawniej Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny)" - english: Silesia city (long ago Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union") [14]. So you see: R9tgokunks inserted wrong info into the article and engaged in revert wars [15], without any knowledge of the "Silesia (miasto)" issue - and he accusses me of vandalism. Further, he removed the name "Silesia" from article which seems to me to be clear vandalism: [16].
  2. Case Frankfurt am Main - Simply, I never edited that article and have no idea why I am accused of editing it.I never accused you of editing it....
  3. Other accounts. I am an experienced Wikipedian - Ihave 15 000 edits on pl.wikipedia [17], 2000 on en.wikipedia [18], and I decided to have an account on other Wikis for interwiki additions, so they appear under my account and not anon's IP. I don't understand what's wrong with that.
  4. IP (ex: 91.120.107.93, 168.213.1.132, 207.245.84.70, 131.104.218.46, 216.171.96.18) are not mine and checkuser will verify this.
  5. Case Template:Infobox City Poland - As for my revert [19] it's easy to explain: User:Fujicolor changes completly revamped the infobox, and I think it damaged the layout on en.wiki. I disagree with this change, thus I revert it. As simple as that.
  6. Case Silesian - There is no such entity as "Polish Silesia", there is just Silesia region on the territory of 3 countries. Thus I reverted R9tgokunks' edit [20].
  7. Case Silesia - Old version of the article had "Nation" and my dictionary tells me it translates to Polish "naród" (people); I think "State" is more correct. User:Olessi change to "Country" is fine with me and I consider the matter closed.Yes, User:Olessi solved the problem, and the matter is not problematic anymore.
  8. Case Katowice - I reverted R9tgokunks' edit [21] as it damaged the layout of article (see for yourselves). Panoramas should go at the top, I think it's a common policy.

I did not execute no vandalism. LUCPOL 16:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My new answer [22]. I want to reach a compromise with you. This depends from you if to finish matter. LUCPOL 10:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:User page content - delete ic

So instead of justifying your attempt to edit war something on to LUCPOL's user page you quote WP:USER, a policy with which I am very familiar, as a whole with no comments as to how you are trying to apply the policy. Here are a some points.

Wikipedia offers wide latitude to users to manage their user space as they see fit

So, it's generally up to him to decide what is there and what isn't.

In general it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing another's user page without their permission. Some users are fine with their user pages being edited, and may even have a note to that effect. Other users may object and ask you not to edit their user pages, and it is probably sensible to respect their requests. The best option is to draw their attention to the matter on their talk page and let them edit their user page themselves if they agree on a need to do so. In some cases a more experienced editor may make a non-trivial edit to your userpage, in which case that editor should leave a note on your talk page explaining why this was done. This should not be done for trivial reasons.

So in short, don't edit another user's page unless you have a good non-trivial reason which you've discussed with the user.

Now, to give a brief summary of the point of the entire "Ownership and editing of pages in the user space" section. Generally it is not considered a good idea to edit another user's space, especially when they resist you doing so. This does not mean that he has total control, but most of the control is afforded to him. The section is more pointed at the fact that the users cannot override the community as a whole in regard to the content in their userspaces. These community decisions are usually made in XFD discussions or on noticedboards such as AN/I.

Trying to force something trivial onto a user's userpage. despite his/her wishes. could possibly result in blocks for violations including, but not limited to, disruption and harrassment. I most seriously suggest that you avoid editing LUCPOL's userpage, and this goes even more so for trying to edit war in LUCPOL's userspace. --Wildnox(talk) 20:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per my previous comments, please take the matter to WP:MEDIATION.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  21:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Germanic culture

The Germanic culture refers to the culture of people speaking the German language. From that, we can assume that Category:Germanic culture should match. I have removed the inappropriate subcategories from the category. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I had a think about what to call Germanic culture. I mean there has to be a clear, precise name for it. Absolutely no ideas here! But I'll keep thinking, and if I come up with something that seems to be better, I'll let you know. Culture of German-speaking Europe is precise, but ugly! All the best, Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal report

Hi. You asked me to comment the case since my name was mentioned. I checked what it was about and found out that I only reverted an edit of yours once, since it was not according to the style of the article (it was from Slovenian language, changed Slovene to Slovenian as the guideline says). So, no edit warring with me. I hope you guys find a peaceful solution to the conflict. Regards. --Tone 15:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think we've been through a couple of revert wars in the past but I do not consider you a vandal because of that. I think LUCPOL complains that you are stalking him. Are you ? --Lysytalk 17:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I could only recommend that both of you stop fighting each other and turn to something more useful instead. --Lysytalk 07:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hrödberäht. You asked me to comment too. I think you like Wikipedia very much, but unfortunately a great part of your edits make Wikipedia worse, because they have a strong bias (POV). I kindly ask you to stop adding such edits, which includes any edit related to Germany. Wikipedia does a great job at carefully balancing the articles to be NPOV. Changing this makes the content more like an advertisement and Wikipedia becomes less liked. It also damages Wikipedia by taking much time from contributors to revert such edits, which they could otherwise use to add new content. What concerns edit wars, they are banned for a good reason. Most of your edit wars started because you gave an article a POV (sometimes be it only to make it sound more sympathetic to your ideas). So I support the administrators that combat your behaviour. Please take this as no offense and feel free to contact me. --Danh 17:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, I removed the sock tag from your page. Neither you or LUCPOL should go anywhere near eachother's userspace at the moment, espcially not to place sock tags like he just did. I totally agree with the above statement that you are a good faith editor, but have a POV problem. I think the same of LUCPOL for the most part, despite his disruptive use of sockpuppets in past dealings with me. I definitely don't consider you or him to be vandals, because both of you make your edits in good faith. --Wildnox(talk) 18:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I stated once (or more) that both of you are overusing (if not abusing) the word 'vandal' in relation to each other. Both of you are acting in good faith, neither of you is a vandal - yet you accuse each another of it. What you need is a mediation (again, I recommened this many times) where you and LUCPOL would (among other things) agree not to call each other names.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  18:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

that whole page is a huge personal attack, and I would report him to admin. He even claims you are a anon IP which is proven to be a sockpuppet of another user. I pointed that out, and he reverted it. that whole page is a personal attack, like a black book that are banned on wikipedia. I would report that page to admin

Really? See: [23]. LUCPOL 22:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

it is a "black book" which will get you in trouble on wikipedia, they are not allowed, ask user:halibutt he used to have one.

--Jadger 23:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the issue is that R9tgokunks is also maintaining a "black book", a much larger one. --Wildnox(talk) 04:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the one who said they were not allowed, I'm unsure about whether or not they are, I just said that you had one too. --Wildnox(talk) 05:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict resolution

It's been brought to my atention that you have a page devoted to cataloging the problems with an active user. Such pages are strongly discouraged as they appear to be attacks. I recommend that you make use of the standard dispute resolution techniques afforded by Wikipedia, such as RfC, mediation, Arbitration, etc. If you're not in the process of resolving disputes with the other user the page devoted to him serves no purpose and should be removed. -Will Beback · · 06:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent request for Checkuser

You recently compiled and listed a case at requests for checkuser. A checkuser or clerk has requested you supply one or more diffs to justify the use of the checkuser procedure in the case, in accordance with the procedures listed in the table at the top of the requests for checkuser page. For an outcome to be achieved, we require that you provide these diffs as soon as possible. This has been implemented to reduce difficulties for checkusers, and is essential for your case to be processed. A link to your recently-created case which has this information missing is here. Thanks for your co-operation. Daniel.Bryant 06:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC), checkuser clerk.[reply]

Name calling

Regarding the edit summary of your recent revert [24] I'd suggest that you reconsider your attitude towards other editors. Calling the editors that do not support your POV vandals does not help your case. --Lysytalk 07:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
