Greetings from an Indian on India's 57th Republic Day. --Bhadani 09:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Umm ok, --Boothy443 | trácht ar 09:33, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-TV/DT

Why did you change all the articles about Nashville TV stations to eliminate -TV/DT? Those ARE the official call letters for each, are they not? --Zpb52 07:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't matter. Any station that broadcasts using the same call letters on both TV band and DT band MUST carry the -TV or -DT suffix. In the interim (that is, until analog TV is phased out and DT becomes the standard), stations carry both suffixes in the -TV/DT format. It is similar to the rule about FM or TV stations that use the same call letters as AM stations. Take WSB in Atlanta, for example. AM is the default band, so there is no such thing as an -AM suffix. However, channel 2 must carry the WSB-TV suffix and 98.5 must carry the -FM suffix in addition to the WSB call letters. When you go to the FCC's website, as you instructed me to do, it gives you information on all stations carrying those call letters, whether they be TV or DT. Because the same call letters are being used on both TV and DT bands, the suffixes must be added until one or the other goes away. --Zpb52 08:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Sigh...you're wrong. --Zpb52 06:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thought I'd weigh in on this topic. There are alot of U.S. TV stations that are licenced with a callsign ending with -TV, some with -LP, and some with -CA. Most are just the call lettters with no postfix. However there are currently only 9, yes nine, stations licenced by the FCC with a callsign ending with -DT. There are currently more stations with -DR callsigns (17) then that. I got these numbers by doing an FCC database search by state, for each state, and searched the results for the string '-D'. This gave me hits for both -DT and -DR stations. If all stations have call letters with -TV or -DT at the end, why are they not listed as such in the FCC database? Please show me a rule or law from an official government site stating what you claim. —A 09:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh forgot to include this, I have compiled the list of all stations that have a callsign ending in either -DT or -DR. If anyone finds anymore please add them to a list. If it ever gets over 20 or so stations I'll move it to a non-user page. User:А/-DT Television stations —A 09:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One last thing. Article names are to be the fcc assigned call letters of the station the article is about with very few exceptions. As I say in the template I use for renaming station articles: "Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station." If anyone doesn't like this, it should be discussed at one of those locations. As per the content of the page, I usualy only change the call letters in an infobox and leave the text how it is. However, I always remove the -DT unless the station is one of the sacred 9. Using this moniker with a callsign is just a marketing tool and not factual. This is an encyclopedia, so unless you are talking about how "this station uses the -DT at the end of their call sign even though it is not their call sign" or something along those lines, we should leave it off wikipedia. —A 09:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WXOW moved to WXOW-TV

I deleted the redirect and moved the article. Let me know if that isn't what you intended ;-) --TimPope 11:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania

Boothy, thanks for seprataing fact from "so called fact" when it comes to the history of Philadelphia city and county. I guess that one user (he/she will go nameless) is so obsessed about deleting facts and edits based on what he/she see's fit. I know we had this discussion in talk:Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, but it seems like the user wants to ignore the talk page discussion. Thanks for the support and KEEP FIGHTING!! :) --Moreau36; 2133, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Huh?

You're wrong on this issue. Don't you have a life? You're an idiot and a tool. I hope they ban you from wikipedia.South Philly 01:47, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow seems like a sock to me, cant you at least man and register or use your own user account to, "insult" me. And if you are questioning my life, what does it speak about you being here making a comment. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- That last edit of yours showed your lack of civility.South Philly 04:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - You can call me a sock all you like, but the truth is, you're a bully and you scare people away from wikipedia. South Philly 01:53, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ok, what ever. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 03:51, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Love you Boothy443, love your favorite sock puppet!

Protection of pages

I've protected 3 of the Philadelphia pages Evrik and you have been reverting for most of last month. I deliberately did not add protection tags to the pages because I do not want to see two productive editors actively monitor those pages only to revert each other. I will periodically lift the protection so that others can edit the page, but if the reversions continue without some significant dialog, I will be inclined to issue reciprocal blocks. The reversions have gone on long enough, and it is time that both of you initiate some generosity and graciousness towards the other party. --HappyCamper 06:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boothy, I just wrote this to Evrik, and I think it would apply to you as well. In the past month, have you tried to approach Evrik about those articles, either on his talk page, or on the article/category talk pages? It is clear that commenting in the edit summary during your reversions does not suffice to end the edit dispute between the two of you. I'm quite aware that at the moment, you and Evrik have no inclination to communicate with each other - but if you intend to revert those pages, it would not be an unreasonable request to make yourself approachable to others. --HappyCamper 04:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia lists Philadelphia as a consolidated city-county. Any article that doesn't belong directly in the Philadelphia Category and is related to the County, probably belongs elsewhere (like Philaelphia History Category).evrik 06:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know what your thoughts are then: what would help end the dispute? In the current situation, I am a neutral party between you and Evrik. If I participate on your RfAr, I may not be - I haven't looked at any of the material related to your RfAr yet. If I do this, I will have to step away from monitoring those 3 pages. Would this help resolve the dispute? --HappyCamper 05:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*I disagree with your interpretation of the Philadelphia Categroies, and am not happy with your personal style. That being said, I don't want to drag this dispute any farther and am offering an olive branch.evrik 19:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

deprecated {{fn}}

I tested my changes to {{fn}} and {{fnb}} before I made them. How did they break? You can see at this test page that they seem to work... ··gracefool |☺ 07:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lancaster PA infobox

Nice job. (Sorry, I tried to figure out a reason to want to ban you, but I couldn't come up with anything.) ClairSamoht 02:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Altoona, PA

You recently added an infobox to the Altoona page, including a map showing its location in the state. However the location shown is that of Easton, PA (in Northampton County), not Altoona. Altoona is located in Blair County, which is in western PA, closer to Johnstown. I'd fix this myself if I knew how to, but am ignorant in the ways of manipulating PNG files, so I'll leave it up to you. Sixtus LXVI 20:25, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have put a request on this user's talk page asking them to stop improperly renaming TV station articles. Please let me know if they contine.—A 05:52, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Saint Oliver Plunkett.jpg

Hi Boothy443, I noticed the nice image you have uploaded for Oliver Plunkett. I would like to use it for the corresponding article in the German language edition of the Wikipedia. Unfortunately, however, this image has not been uploaded to the Commons yet and I cannot do this myself as its copyright status remains unclear. Currently, it is just tagged public domain without giving a detailed qualification (because of its age, for example). I would appreciate a more detailed copyright status information or an upload to the Commons. In this context it would be helpful to note the name of the artist, the time when it was drawn (if known), and a reference from where it has been taken. Thanks for your help and kind regards, AFBorchert 17:30, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PATCO line template

This is in regard to the PATCO line template that you made on June 10, 2005. I have recently begun to create articles for the PATCO stations and would like to add the template but is terribly confusing to figure out. If you would be so kind, could you help me understand this template or if not, add it to Franklin Square (PATCO station)? Thank you in advance. American Patriot 1776 21:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to add an optional small text line below the station name because if that were so, then you could put for example:

To: Lindenwold City Hall Franklin Square (abandoned)

Thanks for your help though with figuring it out! American Patriot 1776 22:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I'm having trouble getting the template to work. This is what happens Template:Start PATCO box Template:PATCO line |} I don't know if I'm just leaving stuff out or what but if you could help it pould be greatly appreciated! And sorry if I'm being a pain with all this! American Patriot 1776 22:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Image:Naval Jack of Ireland.svg

That image will stand. The image you gave me on the Irish military website is not of a high-enough quality to vectorize, and image loading is very slow at the moment. Denelson 83 05:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're always welcome to improve on it. Just get yourself a copy of Inkscape and have at 'er. Denelson 83 05:39, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bustleton, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Just letting you know that I went ahead and moved Bustleton to the above article, as well as took care of any double-redirects. --LBMixPro ^<Sp ^e ^ak|on|it!> 06:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. It's more of a challenge for me than speeding articles. Next time you wanna move a page, you could get a better response at the requested moves page. --LBMixPro ^<Sp ^e ^ak|on|it!> 06:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pennsylvania Foods

Life is too short and the day is too long. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, and never miss an opportunity to grab something good to eat, an opportunity to love someone, an opportunity to take a nap, or an opportunity to laugh. Falling asleep while laughing over breakfast in bed with your lover would be the ultimate, eh? Yes, I engage in jest on Talk pages. It's hard enough avoiding it in the articles....

NI footy clubs edits

Hi there. I was wondering why you thought it was necessary to remove categories Category:Northern Irish football clubs and Category:Sport in Northern Ireland on the club pages. I can understand removing the euro-footy stubs, but I don't understand the category removals. I've no objection to it of course, if there is a reasonable explaination. :)

PS. Apologies for putting the warning in the wrong place. --Mal 22:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your Comment

Actually, I did a few months ago, but you wouldn't remember that considering your impressive record. I'm fairly honored, you've become legendary for your rudeness(you've become a meme on here), and you're saying i'm rude. Thank you, you just made me smile :-) Karmafist 23:25, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correction

Nope, i'm just rude to rude people. It's a slight weakness, but i've seen worse ;-) Have a nice day, bud. Karmafist 23:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, actually i'm following the spirit of Esperanza to the letter. We're about niceness, and I try my best to defend niceness from its' enemies, and with your reputation, i'd say you fit into that category, but it's not too late. You can always change. Anyone can change and become a better person. Karmafist 23:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well...

Just look above. I thanked you first off, then I wished you a nice day, then I offered to help you, and all of this from a statement of an accepted opinion -- you are renowned for being rude and obstinent on Wikipedia. And in return, you troll, and yet i'm still not angry at you. Hell, like I said before, if anything, i'm honored by your trolling, usually you don't talk to people at all. I must be worth your time since you keep on talking to me. Hold on, be right back. Karmafist 23:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Close, But No Cigar

I think responding to you stopped me just enough to prevent me from reaching my goal of 1,000 edits this wikiday(7:05 where I am), then again, I did have almost zero edits last night. However, since you enjoy making people feel bad, and I enjoy making people happy(which in your case would be making someone feel bad), you can take credit for me not reaching that plateau if you'd like. I personally think 819 edits in one day is fairly impressive regardless, and there'll always be more days, plus giving you credit for sabotaging me is a good deed in itself(per the above), so the karma's building up for me. The only way it could be better is if you opposed my re-rfa like you always do, then people would say "Well, if Boothy hates him, he can't be all that bad." Then again, there is a better way of going through live than the path you've taken, in my opinion. But to each their own. I'll be around if you want to try a different way of doing things.
