User talk:DreamGuy

I periodically go through and clean out the old comments... This is because they refer to old situations or that the discussions are otherwise no longer current. Those looking for archives are invited to refer to the history.

Note: If you are here to leave personal attacks, false accusations of vandalism, a long tirade about why your cat photo or article about yourself should be left alone as you and only you wanted, nonsensical rationalizations of why vampires, ancient astronauts, werewolves, "creation science" and so on should be treated as completely real and so forth, do not bother, as I'll either just remove them right away or simply point you to the appropriate Wikipedia policy which you should have read in the first place.

Otherwise please add new comments below (you can use the handy dandy + tab next to "edit this page" at the top of the screen).

Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections

The ideal, like many, is not unreachable. Lists are poor. So what is your objection here? / edg ☺ ★ 21:08, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree that lists are poor, but the wording as included there includes "ideal" as if it were something we would like to do and not be bothered if we can;t because it's just an ideal. I think we want the same thing, but the wording you are defending makes it less likely to happen, in my opinion. Trying something else if you like. DreamGuy

Reverting given name template

DreamGuy, I was going to revert the removal of the external links to the given name template just for the purposes of adding the debated template to the external links page so that the discussion would be illuminated by the current example. If you know of another way to do this without reverting the removal of the external links, feel free to do that instead. Remember 21:54, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Alright, that's fine. I can always remove it again later after the discussion says those links are inappropriate, though the "Given Name" part up top doesn't work and isn't part of this discussion. DreamGuy 23:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I have replied to your message on the Sudoku talk page

Here. I hope you will not ignore me because of my apparent lack of an account. --59.61.95.18 08:07, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I've not ignored it, but policy here says you're wrong, so I will go with what that says instead of what you say. DreamGuy 22:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Apology from the "IP vandal"

Hey, I'm sorry for all the harrassment and vandalism that's been going on here from a bunch of IPs I use (66.82.9.77, 66.82.9.54, 69.19.14.18, and probably others, all from HughesNet/DirecWay ISP). Apparently, my brother decided it'd be funny to get on my computer and vandalize things. He claimed he was on a vendetta against you, but I really have no clue why. Anyways, I'm really sorry for all of it. I've made sure it won't happen again. --69.19.14.44 08:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hatnotes re: Adobe Photoshop

Please to be reading Wikipedia:Hatnotes#Placement. Thank you, come again. Chris Cunningham 20:17, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Your user page shows that you are an adult and apparently speak English, stop talking like a child. And that page is just wrong, lots of pages are wrong like that, probably because the people making pages like that spend their time trying to think up rules and not enough time actually editing articles, seeing how things are actually done, or reading up on layout standards. Thanks for your concern (even though you were a WP:DICK about it, but go away now. DreamGuy 20:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Adobe Photoshop.3RR warning

For the record, you've had 3 reverts in that article today. Whether or not it's considered "edit warring", as the {{uw-3rr}} template specifies, a fourth revert within 24 hours is grounds for immediate blocking. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 21:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Try to assume good faith! :-)

Hi there, i just saw your comments from my watchlist on Dicklyon's page, and i just thought that it seemed you're taking this too far out of context. Dicklyon has himself noted that he has only added the vandalism tag on your page, as he was unable to find a more appropriate warning. Personally, i would have left you a brief message before leaving something as harsh as a vandalism notice, but it's just either a misconception on Dicklyon's part or a slight error. Don't worry about it -- just try to assume good faith, remain calm and give him a quick question as to his actions, and he'll explain himself.

He might seem stubborn, but he's really quite nice once you get to know him. ♥♥ ΜÏΠЄSΓRΘΠ€ ♥♥ ^{slurp me!} 22:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

It's OK, I found out that WP:AN/I is the better place to ask for intervention about DreamGuy, so I've done that now. I'm not expecting any civil response from him. Dicklyon 23:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
