User talk:Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri

It's really pretty simple: - Make a free encyclopedia - - Don't be evil - - Ignore all rules - C'est très démotivant d'écoper.

ابو فول دانيال ابن امير المهكرى My name is Daniel Earle Mehkeri. I also go by Fool so as not to be taken too seriously. Please feel free to drop me a note. Please also feel free to simply undo any of my actions if you disagree with them.

ar-0 I don't actually know very much arabic at all. I just like saying "Abu-Fool".

Recent changes patrol

Hi, thanks for your assistance with removing vandalism, you're doing a great job!

Perhaps you'll also consider warning the editors who introduce the vandalism. The Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol article give a number of tips, especially the section explaining about warning editors.

Once again, thanks for the good work. If you have any questions then please don't hesitate to ask. Regards LittleOldMe 17:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I do, sometimes. Mostly they go away on their own though. Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 17:38, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Your user page

I was dismayed, when I reverted what I thought was vandalism, to see the oddest user page. It seems from the edit history that you created it yourself. Am I correct in this assumption, or have I somehow re-introduced vandalism? Regards LittleOldMe 17:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. It's mine, yes. Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 17:46, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA. It makes me happy when someone supports me as a candidate.--Berig 16:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I've briefly run into you as an IP, I'm pretty sure you'd do well as an admin, and I am surprised at the reaction. Oh well. As you say, there are worse things than being rejected at RfA. Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 18:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

3RR warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 21:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

What, this? You're kidding. Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 21:19, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Vi

I still haven't gotten wikipediafs working smoothly, else I seriously would, yes. I'm a HUGE KISS fan ;-).

Hmm, though, in reality vi(m) -with its several hundred help pages- is not very minimalistic, of course. Now if you had said nano, maybe you'd be on to something. <innocent look>

--Kim Bruning 16:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC) Oh feep, even nano is starting to syn!

Oh and I did see your personal trifecta page. Being able to play with "the rules" like that is one of my admin requirements (all other things being equal, of course). Drop me a line and remind me anytime you get nominated! :-) --Kim Bruning 17:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't meet your other requirements, specifically I don't know how to hexedit the raw database dump file. Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 20:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Meh, that's a requirement for devs. My admin requirements are somewhat more relaxed. ;-) --Kim Bruning 22:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Corrie ten Boom

The Corrie ten Boom page has some wierd comment about her dying without children cause she was an old bat? I've never encountered vandelism on Wiki before but I would guess that is what that is. It looked like you changed things for the better on that page at least once and I haven't the faintest clue how to go about editing a wiki page. Just thought I'd bring it up with someone who might care & know what to do.

Some folks ought to learn one of those wierd hobbies where you can balance couches on your nose or pull 250 lbs with your right earlobe. People have too much time on there hands if that is how they get their entertainment. Looloomama 05:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Too much time is one theory. Or could be they're just drunk. Anyway thanks for pointing this out. Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 15:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Tyrant

Hello:

Please do not change my edits to tyrant.

It is extremely important that people get a proper indication about the nature of a tyrant and tyranny.

Absoulute power gained is simply not a necessary prerequisite to identify a tyrant or tyranny.

Tyrant and tyranny are as much descriptive of intent, as action and status.

To say that only a person who has gained ABSOLUTE power is a tyrant, is a misrepresentation of the traditional and common

syntax of this English language word. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.188.138.214 (talk) 18:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC).

Tyrant

Hello

Please do not edit my changes to Tyrant as I am attempting to help others to better understand those who are considered "leaders". It is so important that this word be properly understood. Tyrant and tyranny are words that reference intent as well as action and status.

Thank you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.188.138.214 (talk) 18:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC).

• Hi there. You're right that ABSOLUTE is too strict, sure. But it is about power, isn't it? Regards, --Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 19:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

List of VC firms

Still don't think it should be deleted. :-) (Even if it is very random!) But thanks very much for the heads-up that you had prodded it, letting me know was impressively community spirited. Jheald 18:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

contested prods

1913 advertisement for Encyclopædia Britannica, the oldest and one of the largest contemporary English encyclopedias.

Well there are rules that state no original research. but there is also a rule that states if a source can be referenced, it should not be deleted. so I will vote no for delete. Remember we are trying to create an encyclopedia i.e. the sum of all human knowledge. --Parker007 18:45, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
