Suggestion

If I were you, I would remove the first sentence on the front of your profile page. It isn't very polite and puts-down a fellow Wikipedian. --Hollow Wilerding 01:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

What a strange comment. What are you talking about? William M. Connolley 19:45, 18 November 2005 (UTC).

Your userpage

Well unless I am terribly mistaken—in which I offer you an utter-most apology—are you not referring to another individual on Wikipedia? That is I believe the front of your userpage suggests: I have been "attacked" as Guettarda - Liberal Admin, and criticised for editing topics I know about. I don't think there is any better compliment here in Wikipedia. Maybe I'll add that to my sig. I am truly sorry if what I read was miscommunicated to me. --Hollow Wilerding 13:54, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I am generously sorry for misunderstanding. --Hollow Wilerding 16:40, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

It's preferrable. Thanks muchly. --Hollow Wilerding 16:54, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Rollback

It doesn't matter if it's policy, policy is just a means of codifying good practice. I don't think anyone would argue it is not good practice refrain from using the rollback in edit wars. Saying it's not policy sounds a little like lawyering. Perhaps you should read tha page I pointed Dunc to, Wikipedia:Revert#Admins, I think it's some pretty good advice, even if it is just a "guideline." And if you are suggesting that there isn't consensus that the rollback shouldn't be used in edit wars, I think that would be quite mistaken. Dmcdevit·t 03:36, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Religious Attacks against you

Please explain to me why you feel you have the right to attack my religious beliefs/call me a liar. This is exceedinly offensive, even for you. Guettarda 01:06, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Guettarda I don't understand what offended you. I am sorry if I caused you offense. I don't think I called you a liar. Either way I did not mean to and I apologize. If there is a specific attack against you that you would like me to remove from the page I will do it.--Ben 01:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm not taking a side in all this, but you've just removed what turned out to be a productive discussion from the talk page, which a lot of editors took part in. It's really not appropriate to delete everyones opinions and ideas, the best way to respond would be through a well considered response, and leave it at that. Or alternatively, take Ben up on his offer of removing the offensive parts. --Brendanfox 01:43, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Anything productive could be refactored. Ben's posting is nothing but a gratuitous personal attack that I find intolerable. Guettarda 01:58, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

RFA

Hi there, I fully understand that you have removed my RFA and I thank you very much for doing so. I will try harder next time, and hope to get my edit count up to as high as I possibly can! Thank you very much again. --Hillhead15 15:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Tag on Image:UWI Logo.jpg

It seems the fair use tags are some continually shifting sands. After looking into it further, I find that recently an distinction was introduced between general representations of heraldry vs. governmental/institutional seals, etc. For the former, apparently there is creative work in rendering the blazon in a particular illustration, thus these should be replaced with free images drawn from the blazon. Evidently, a new tag, {{symbol}}, was introduced to cover the case of governmental/institutional seals. I have retagged it at {{symbol}}, which gives appropriate text. (Going now to look over the others I did recently). Thanks for the feedback. --Tabor 23:21, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Signal Hill

Since one of your primary interests is in all things Trinidad and Tobago, could you look at the Signal Hill disambiguation page and make sure that the information that I added on Signal Hill, Tobago is accurate. ^BlankVerse 21:03, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

CLR James

I just thought that it'd be better to have as much detail as possible - do you know where on the island he was born, as this would clearly be much more useful than just the island name. Warofdreams talk 19:36, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

PAs

Actually, the Wikipedia:Remove_personal_attacks#Who_should_refactor.3F suggested policy says that the victim should not refactor or remove the personal attacks. However, in the discussed instance, I fail to see how ant's commenting on FM's editing patterns constitutes a personal attack, anyway. David Bergan 20:09, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Admin assistance request

Hi Guettarda - User:Chaosfeary has moved Poison-ivy to Poison-ivy (plant) and then made Poison-ivy a redirect to a disambig page Poison ivy - all totally un-necessary and over-cumbersome. Any chance you could move it back, please? - thanks, MPF 20:40, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Multiracial

Thanks for supporting me in the mini-edit war on List of multiracial people. Much appreciated. discospinster 15:49, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Dreadlocks

Hey, Guettarda. If/when you have an opportunity, would you please drop by dreadlocks? User Coyep is intent on using a photo which does not, unfortunately, illustrate the subject at hand. Further, he insists on deleting some text I wrote about the possible connection between Egyptian dreadlocks and the phenomenon in India. I'd like your take on the disputes. Thanks. I've also asked for User:Jmabel's input.

I didn't know you were a cat person. Know anything about ragdolls? deeceevoice 21:21, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
