Just wanted to give you something to mark your hard work and to balance all the personal attacks. Thanks for all the hard work. Feel free to fiddle with the format and display it with pride. Guettarda 17:16, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

List of notable cardinals
There is absolutely no reason for the only list of cardinals on Wikipedia to be of living cardinals,or for there not to be a list of distinguished past cardinals.--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 18:40, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
OK,better have List of deceased cardinals than nothing.However,I don't think it should include every deceased cardinal,only particularly important ones...not sure how best to convey that.The place for a listing of every cardinal ever is in the Cardinals Category,assuming it's added to every cardinal's bio.--Louis E./12.144.5.2 01:59, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Abortion
Sigh. Maybe it's time to get the admins involved. - Jersyko 01:19, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Not that you were particularly worried about it, but Agwiii's claim that you are guilty of any crime is patently ridiculous. I know he (dubiously) claims to be some kind of law student or professor or such, but I'm the real deal, and you certainly haven't done anything illegal. I recommend ignoring his claims as there is no possible way he can substantiate anything. - Jersyko 15:21, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
I've never heard of the group, but they appear to be somewhat legitimate. It is difficult to say they are a fully legit organization, however, when half of their leadership team is made up of 20 something "freelance writers." He appears to be one of the group's main leaders. Anyway, it seems our friend has been using Wikipedia not only to advance his abortion agenda, but also to advance the cause of his organization by raising awareness (to put it mildly) of "cyberstalking." - Jersyko 04:20, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
Agwiii
Why does none of this surprise me? It was also pretty obvious that few if any of the claims he made about himself on his User page were true. He seems to have disappeared now, at least in that guise. It shouldn't be too difficult to spot him again... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:39, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, almost no doubt at all. Peculiar that he should use a pseudonym here, then use it on the Net in such a way as to give away his identity. But then he didn't seem any brighter than he was self-controlled. I'm astonished that his qualifications are what he claimed, though — and his employers should be even more worried... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:07, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
RfC page move
I took the liberty of moving Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User:RexJudicata to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/RexJudicata, since the later follows the naming convention of the other pages on RFC (and this also turned the red link you added on WP:RFC into a blue link). --cesarb 21:45, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Who is trying to intimidate you? Arbitration is a diplomatic approach, something you obviously could care less about. I put that in because I know I'm not going to be able reach a compromise with someone like you. I've given you my sources, lets's see yours. You don't have a right to take out facts that you don't want. Would you like it if someone just randomly deleted information you researched, and adds relevance to the article? probably not, so think about it. LibraryLion
I have not been vandalizing your page. I never engage in that sort of thing, so please don't accuse me of it. Back to the article, what I want is one paragraph that lists specific documented crimes. The MS-13 members were convicted of the rapes, so this isn't some 'word-of-mouth' type crime. The other crimes in the article are police documented. Now if you want to counterbalance the article, you find information perhaps on MS-13 members who say there is bad in every group, and these crimes are indicitive of what MS-13 is about. But you don't delete what is factual. Yes not every little fact of everything needs to be in every article written, sometimes you can be deluged with facts, but I feel these specific crimes give an indication to the reader of how dangerous some (stressing some, not all) MS-13 members can be. So this paragraph I want kept in. I should specify it's the one paragraph that begins "The gang is quite brutal....", (this perhaps should be reworded to "A few gang members are quite brutal....) The paragraph before this I did not write, so I don't know of its accuracy, so it can be left out. On a side note regarding the vandalism of your page, which vandalism is always inexcusable, you need be real careful what you delete, because some people rather than discuss and talk it over, will resort to this. For some, deleting their material is real personal and there is no common ground when dealing with them. I don't have this problem, because I generally want as much information as possible, and I always cite a source if correction something, but you on the other philosophical side, need to be cautious of this. Didn't mean to write this much on your home page, but in short, we can end it here if you agree to the one paragraph I cited to stay in. LibraryLi
My mistake, I meant to put my comments on this page originally. But calling what I wrote by mistake on wrong page "vandalism" is quite hyperbolic. Claims that I'm a vandal are about as reliable as finding WMD's in Iraq. Anyway, back to article, it's the paragraph that includes the rapes of the two teen girls. the bus shootings, and antother crime was listed I believe. I don't think it matters where these crimes were committed per se, and really I don't think further documented crimes are necessary unless one is going to greatly expand this article. I've noticed in your comments you seem to have a real anti-American slant that really shows through. Why does it matter that the crimes were committed in the U.S.?, crime is crime. Not sure what this is about, but it certainly diminishes your viewpoints, and makes your editing have questionable motives. LibraryLion
Stray Dog War
You might enjoy the article on The Dog Tax War, it's true also. ping 10:50, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
rv personal attack
I am trying to find users who will help me determine a NPOV aproach in the article. Lots of users I asked to join in refused because article was "too contraversial". I alone cannot declare what is POV and what isnt. I need an objective view. --Cool Cat My Talk 05:24, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Copyvio images
Done. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:49, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Solana/Cumbey et. al.
I would be interested in assisting you with your RfC in this matter. Please contact me as shown at my talk page. KC9CQJ 10:50, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- No, Cumbey didn't request a reversion. I did because it was premature of me to work on your RfC without your knowledge and I didn't have a grasp of the evidence at hand. Now I do have an accurate picture of what's going on, and your permission, and now I'm willing to help out :-) KC9CQJ 09:03, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- In addition, should the RfC fail to gain attention or solve the problem, I'm willing to bet that ArbCom should be our next step. You might want to withdraw the request for mediation at this point in time, until we see what happens. KC9CQJ 09:30, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I trust the above explanation is satisfactory. I was reverting the edits by User:Kc9cqj at User:Kc9cqj's request. I have since explained to that user how to make reversions themselves. - Mark 14:58, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Upon reflection, my edit summary wasn't very good at explaining what I was doing. In future, I'll try to be clearer to avoid such confusion. - Mark 15:06, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Do you have IRC or AOL IM? We need to talk 'face to face'. KC9CQJ 20:45, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- You have e-mail at your hotmail(dot)com address. KC9CQJ 21:04, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Please review the RfC. Cumbey has been blocked for 24 hours following her posted comments for personal attacks on you and legal threats. If you have questions, please contact me ASAP. KC9CQJ 06:19, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Let's de-esclate this for the moment. I feel that we are on the brink of solving all issues at hand; ending all the vandalism, the anonymous IP's editing Solana, and the bad blood. Take a break for a few days from worrying about this - my real gut feeling is that this is all a huge misunderstanding, and I need a day or so to follow up on every angle that I've worked in the last 24 hours. KC9CQJ 08:36, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Um, yeah. Well. No real following up on every angle since someone hasn't responded to my queries for information as of yet. How's it going? I was on wikivacation for a few days. KC9CQJ 07:58, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Saudi Arabia
You reverted a vandal recently. When doing so please don't forget to look at other contributions of the editor. This one turned out to be quite prolific. In addition to vandalizing, he created a bunch of nonsense pages as well (I deleted them already). Mikkalai 18:11, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
War of the Stray Dog
A little to coincidental for my reckoning. You were looking at my past contributions and trying to discredit what else I wrote. Your own words for recommending the article for deletion "is this true?" imply that I somehow made up this article, and didn't do any research on it. This is quite an insult to anyone contributing information. If you would have just taken some time to yourself to verify it yourself, then you wouldn't have recklessly recommended it for deletion, especially given the fact it is a true. If you think it needs deletion because of a lack of information, I can accept, but that wasn't your stated reason. LibraryLion Yes your comments make sense but I think people would have come upon it anyway and made improvements. I don't claim to be good technical writer, I'm just a researcher, so I don't mind how anyone eidts information I add. My impression, maybe incorrect, was the vfd process is more for aricles with dubious facts, or facts that can't be verifed. I actually stumbled on this article reading a book on word and phrase origins. I have no idea why the author of the book put this obscure little piece of history in this type book, because he makes no reference to any new word or phrase that came out of this war. LibraryLion
Don't understand

Allende
Well, he's gone now. Because I'd been reverting him y'day -- thus an involved party -- I wasn't sure whether I could block him or not. I need to read up on my 3RR protocols. –Hajor 21:49, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Javier Solana vandal
I think he'll get tired before I do. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:25, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Javier Madariaga
What's the deal with that name? You refer to it as "fictional". --Tony Sidaway|Talk 10:58, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Boddhi
Minor edit. Changed "vandalsie" into "vandalise". Like your dogs. My dog was poisoned in Santa Fe, near Granada, Spain. He too liked living in a van. Keep up the good work.--El.tula 17:31, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Salamanca, Madrid and Universities
Hi! Somewhere in the Madrid article, you said "Madrid is the largest hub in Spain for university life, though the academic centre is in Salamanca". I have been living in Madrid for all my life (and going to a Madrilenian university for 6 years) and I've never heard about Salamanca being the academic centre of Spanish universities. Are you sure about that? Perhaps I'm wrong and I'm just a bit unculturate :) Sarg 15:45, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I think Salamanca is by far the oldest in Spain. It is also one of the oldest of Europe. I have heard several times that Salamanca was the academic centre of Spanish universities when they were controlled by the Church, but nowadays each university has its own politics and rules. As far as I know, there is no organism with power over all of them (well, barring the government!). But, again, I might be utterly wrong :) Let's see if someone with more data posts at the talk page! Sarg 16:51, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Cumbey Returns
Hi. I just went onto hierarchypedia and checked the recent changes. To my surprise there were a few (there are usualy none). It says that it is User:SqueakBox, but I believe it to be none other than Mrs. Cumbey. On your user page it says "Englishman living in Honduras. 42." On one of the IP's it says "Love that pot" and on another it simply says "Fuck".
I propose that we use this as evidence for another longer ban of Cumbey from Wikipedia if possible, and I will also permenantly ban her from Hierarchypedia. You can view the pages in question here: http://www.hierarchypedia.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Recentchanges
She is obviously a crazy mofo. One of those people who go crazy if you don't agree with them.
--Hierarchypedia 21:38, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for signing up. The article is fine. I will upload the wikified one at some point though. The IP is from the US, and since it included the usual accusation of you being a pot lover I think we know who it is. Where should I go to post about continuing Cumbey vandalism and abuse? --Hierarchypedia 21:48, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Reply
I think it is best to leave her alone, as you suggested. I have been accused of being a member of Bohemian Grove (she really means Bohemian Club). This is ridiculous, as I have never been to California. --Hierarchypedia 22:55, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ok. Constance says on her blog that she would like to end the fiasco. I think it would be a good idea not to contact her any more. Here's an interesting connection I just found:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f3/Dalyell.jpg
Harry Truman to Tam Dalyell. I have never seen such a close relation between an "American" and a Brit, 6th cousins. The nearest is Bush to Churchill - 9th cousins that I know of. I am also going to look at the Central American Presidents a bit more as well. There is one who has ancestor from America, which may have interesting connections. I would like to look at the Sandistas too, and maybe some drug kingpins, but that would be difficult. What country is it you live in? --Hierarchypedia 01:12, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Per your request
In addition to contacting me, please cease and desist all editing within the following articles: Javier Solana, Javier Solana Antichrist allegations, Constance E. Cumbey, and any other articles that center around this dispute until you have contacted me and I have given you further instructions and information.
- Ok, well, let's see here. I asked you not to post to her blog, you didn't listen to me, I asked you to wait a few days to see what worked out, you didn't listen to me. Are you going to listen? You want to edit the article, and I'm asking for you to stop running around rampant, placing comments here and there, and allow this to cool off for a few days or so. If you're going to run around and accuse me of making the situation worse, that's fine, and I will withdraw. I asked BOTH users, you and Cumbey, to stop editing and baiting each other into arguments, because that's what you're doing right now. You are both right - and you are both wrong. I've generated an entire timeline of this dispute, I've had outside parties read the entire history, and they all mainly agree that this is the case. Will you please just stop long enough for me to explain???? KC9CQJ 15:46, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Abortion 2
Why do you keep deleting what the Bible says on abortion? User:Big Hurt
Hi SqueakBox, I have left a message at Talk:Abortion relating to the dispute there. Rje 22:29, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
Flaky Wiki
In your defense, I see you removed the rude message from my User:talk page. I think Wikipedia is being flakey, and it may have appeared like I added that obnoxious "Wikipedia is Communism" line that vandal's seem fond of. I have nothing to do with than, but the page history seemed corrupted recently. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 22:17, 2005 Apr 29 (UTC)
There is no Pope Benedict XVI. urgent attention please, --SqueakBox 22:21, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Um, he's Pope John Paul II's successor... so he is real... or is that not the point of your statement? Master Thief Garrett 23:49, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Squeak, I see you've been vacationing for the last ten days or so. :) - Lucky 6.9 23:54, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- What i meant is that the article had disappeared completely; the work of WC. See my User page. --SqueakBox 23:57, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC) (from Wikipedia:Vandalism in Progress)
(Re: your comments on entry on User:Wikipedia Is Communism! in Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress). There is a Pope Benedict XVI, whose papacy began on Tuesday, April 19, 2005. Pope Benedict XVI is his regnal name; his name is Joseph Ratzinger. Elected by the Papal conclave, 2005, he replaced the late Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla) who died on April 2, 2005. Andrew pmk 23:36, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Your reverts on Alleged Bible discrepancies entry
Why do you keep removing a link to the post-resurrection chronology? It's VERY relevant. Are you just pushing your POV, again?
Link: Some advocates of Biblical inerrancy have gone to great lengths to harmonize the four accounts [1],
-- Big Hurt
Reported YOU for 3 Revert Violation
You don't seem to understand the 3 Revert Violation. Read the Abortion entry carefully. YOU have broken the 3 revert violation!!!! Not me. -- Big Hurt
23-F
The dispute tag was there because there was a dispute, and remains a dispute over content. Someone moved part of the text and in the process either removed or moved elsewhere the reason for the dispute. But the article is littered with unsubstantiated POVs. FearÉIREANN 00:11, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Hey Squeek,
never suggested that you acted in bad faith. Just that you did not know that there was a serious issue with that page. I had left a detailed note explaining the POV issues previously on the page. Basically the page tried to do two things: cover the attempted coup and do it in a page on one of the coup leaders. I pointed out that the page was POV and it was meant to be a biographical page but had two paragraphs on the person and the rest a POV account of the coup. Whomever responded moved the 23F still en bloc to a new page, with the dispute tag, but didn't bring along the talk page stuff outlining the problems. That was their error, not mine. I was rushing out the door when I saw your change and had not time to trace back the talk page stuff at that stage but there was a serious POV error with the page. It was far from the encyclopaedic standard one could expect in an encyclopaedia. FearÉIREANN 03:02, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Good work, mate. FearÉIREANN 03:26, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Confusing signature
Hi. It seems the entire page is somehow fubar. I'm going to delete the duplicate violations section. - Tεxτurε 17:40, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

why do you keep deleteing what I put in for discussion on kofi "oil for food" annan?

I like dogs but I think cats are only good for dogs to chase!
- My girlfriend agrees with you, otherwise we would have one, --SqueakBox 03:13, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
Fidel Castro
Any reason to keep editing my Fidel Castro remarks? You a Castro accolyte? Tell me how Forbes saying he has 500 million dollars is not factual information worthy of being on the guy's bio? Give me a good reason why you keep reverting my xxxx, if you can't do that just please leave it the xxxx alone. Already asked once in the Fidel Castro talk page and nobody had the decency to answer why they keep reverting to that biased bull. Kapil 05:48, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
KapilTagore and obscenities
I have also asked KapilTagore to apologize, however don't you think that Who do you think you are? might not be the best thing to attach to a comment asking someone who has wronged you for an apology. Its certainly not on the scale of what was said to you, but still. Also what are your objections to the Castro wealth ref? -JCarriker 17:06, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Let's try to continue to assume good faith until KapilTagore responds, he's apologized for using such language before and I know he responded postiviely to my request after I reverted his assretion that South America was a subcontinent rather than a continent. This may be as simple as case of wikistress and mistaken identiy combined, of course it may not. Either way it's I think it's best to wait for his response before drawing conclusions. -JCarriker 17:50, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
Zapatero
Yep, you certainly do attract interesting characters. Guettarda 20:26, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Seconded! No problem, by the way, and yes, I have a cocker spaniel, called Jarvis. It made me laugh anyway :) Cheers. Anilocra 20:30, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Fidel Castro
I apologise Kapil 00:42, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
Fidel Castro editing
How is "intense and sometimes brutal political repression" a sentence that doesn't fit? Stop editing other people's stuff, it's an universal truth that Castro's Communist Cuba is politically repressive, and that this is where tensions with the US stem from. So you shouldn't remove it again, rather, explain why you're removing it before doing so. This is exactly the kinda thing I was talking about. Kapil 01:06, 6 May 2005 (UTC) Also, the word "shit" appears below your cat's picture. Don't fret as much about the word cunt, they're both Wikipedia articles.
Alright, sorry about calling you a Castro accolyte. Kapil 03:00, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
Vacation
I'm out on wikivacation for a few days. If you need anything drop me a line through my g-mail account. Should be back around May 10 or 11. KC9CQJ 05:34, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
Naming convention
You seem like a pretty knowledgeable user (and have provided some objective edits on Cold War figures I might add -- good job) so I thought I'd point you to the question I asked on Ramon/Ramón Grau. J. Parker Stone 07:50, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
