(Re: Talk:Ambition)

Please stop propogating/supporting hate-spam. It's an inappropriate use of Wikipedia and you ought to be mature enough to know it. Spoon345 18:45, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Again, hate-spam is an inappropriate use of Wikipedia. Supporting others who do it is likewise. Don't be a dick. Spoon345 18:56, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Old VfD, never closed

Hey Kev- just wanted to bring Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Simplified list of effects from drunkness this VfD to your attention. I had forgotten all about it until it popped up on my watchlist the other day. Then I forgot again, and it popped up again today. Close this thing out, will ya? It reached consensus in June and has been relegated to the dustbin. Thanks, Fernando Rizo T/C 20:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

States Visited

You have obviously visited Washington, D.C. (you took that excellent picture there), yet you do not have its flag in your "states and territories" visited... DC may be neither, but it's worth noting.  :) (preceding unsigned comment by 68.95.239.253 04:40, 17 August 2005 (UTC))

WP:MIND

Hello. Round four of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Thursday, December 1. This round will be drastically different from round three; part one will consist of a creative project, and part two will be developed from there. The full details will be released when the round opens. Time and speed should not be major factors in this round; thus, there is no exact opening time for the round as speed will not factor into the scoring. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:04, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Please add Wikipedia:Mind Benders/to do to your watchlist to receive further announcements; the NotificationBot is currently down and all notifications will be placed on that page. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Delfino

No he hasn't returned, but every last trace of him has been deleted except for Varian v. Delfino. Considering it was a case of interest to just him, I think it would be legitamente to delete it. Agree?

Hey Kevin! Thanks for all your kind comments - and I sure will consult you as I learn the ropes around here.... I've managed to avoid most common pitfalls so far [knock wood] but there will be more! Glad to know you feel my contributions on the list are useful and I'm trying to put good useful ones here as well. I doubt I'll become quite the wikipedian you are but who knows??? *G* Cheers!

Please discuss things on talk page instead of blindly reverting everything

Please discuss things on talk page instead of blindly reverting everything. And please read content and selectively revert. Don't revert everything. Try actually doing some work and editing. DyslexicEditor 01:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you said something in the paypal section. The ebay edits I did are varied, so I need you to be specific about each one to improve it. DyslexicEditor 02:11, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, basically for Paypal, Moneybookers, and Ebay, it's this

---

Ebay has previously stated that it is just a venue. After acquiring paypal it has become more than a venue by listing in auctions whether the buyer accepts paypal (no other payment options listed) and allowing buyers to sort by paypal. Next, sellers with Paypal accounts that have issues such as chargebacks or stolen cards from buyers result in their ebay accounts being closed as well. In August 2005, it required that sellers who take paypal not refuse credit card payments, which result in fees. Beginning in January 2006, ebay now prohibits any online payment system except Paypal, as stated here. Ebay only gives Bidpay.com as its alternative, a company that has already gone out of business before the policy. This singularly requires that online payments through ebay must use ebay's system, paypal. Questions of illegality and antitrust have been raised over this new rule. Ebay specifically prohibits E-gold, a legitimate competitor to Paypal. Ebay's new policy states that taking an online payment system other than paypal will result in their account being banned.

Would you mind highlighting sentences that need revising. It helps rather than just going over the entire thing. Thanks. DyslexicEditor 02:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Please don't stalk every edit. I noticed you've gone down 200 edits so far

You've violated the three revert rule. You've done 10 reverts today

Then you threatened me. Are you an admin. You certainly give them a bad name. DyslexicEditor 09:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Please don't lie in your edits. You've made dozens of reverts of me so far.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image%3ACowtippingroadsign.jpg&diff=33466981&oldid=33466827 You said you moved the text to the talk page. So far, it has not been moved. You claim to be an admin. Is it just so I don't report you for breaking all the wikipedia rules? DyslexicEditor 10:05, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

comment by Wandering Writer

I have spoken with the associate editor at Quest Magazine. They had allowed me to use their articles but because of the way they are being vandalized and Quest Magazine being removed as the source as well as accusations of advertising, Quest wants all articles removed with which it maintains copyright. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in removing all articles created by me. Wandering Writer 19:39, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

offtopic chit chat

Okay, so Friday I got a FedEx delivery and they delivered to the wrong address (I was checking on their website tracking info and later called them up). The truck later got it back and put a note on my door. Well they wouldn't come back until the next Tuesday, but luckily I could sign the note and they would leave the package if I was not home. So I was angry at FedEx (mostly because I didn't find the note until latter and partly because of the 4 day added wait). So I printed up a paper that said "FedEx Sucks". It had a picture of a damaged FedEx box under it. On that paper, I taped the fedex note all signed. Last Tuesday they delivered. I didn't hear any knocking on my door, just the loud engine of their truck. So I went to my door and saw the truck pulling away. I saw my paper "FedEx Sucks + (picture of broken FedEx package)". On the note the driver wrote "Thank you" and a sticker with my signature was removed. The package was delivered.

okay, so what do you think of that story? DyslexicEditor 00:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

FOR SHAME!!!! You need to respond. A FedEx phone rep laughed at this story! DyslexicEditor 01:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've responded. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to say. kmccoy (talk) 01:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

St Stanislaus

Hello, I'm the mediator assigned to the articles St. Stanislaus Kostka Church (Saint Louis) and Raymond Leo Burke. You are receiving this message because you have been named as one of the users who have intensely participated in developing these articles. Over the past few days, there has been a dispute over the neutrality of the articles with numerous anonymous users making what have been characterised as biased edits. The obvious thing to do would be to make a compromise version, and User:Kenj0418 seems to think that versions Raymond Leo Burke 18:40, 4 January 2006 and St. Stanislaus Kostka Church (Saint Louis) 00:33, 4 January 2006 may be those versions. Could you please review them and let me know if you think they are OK. Thanks. Izehar 10:43, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello, could you please direct your attention in the St Stanislaus mediation case to its main page. Any comments should be made on the talk page. Thanks. Izehar 23:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Arbcom election vote

Since you referenced my vote I thought I should point out that I made a minor change, toning it down some [1]. I just don't want to foster a hostile environment in the voting... and although I believe I could substantiate my comment with difflinks and demonstrate that I'm trying to be factual and not nasty, it was easier to leave it out. It doesn't change anything substantial, so I doubt you'll wish to take any action as a result... If you reply, please reply here. --Gmaxwell 05:44, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the quote was what I was really agreeing with, anyway. Thanks for the heads up, though. :) kmccoy (talk) 05:53, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Articles For Deletion

Hi, a while ago you made some comments about the presence of bible-verse articles, and/or source texts of the bible, and you may therefore be interested in related new discussions:

• A discussion about 200 articles, one each for the first 200 verses of Matthew - Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/200 verses of Matthew
• A discussion about 18 articles, one each for the first 18 verses of John 20 - Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Verses of John 20
• A discussion about whether or not the entire text of a whole bible chapter should be contained in the 6 articles concerning those specific chapters - Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Whole bible chapter text.

Complaints from Mike Church

You tried to censor out my existence by blocking me for 72 hours after an edit (to Appalachian State University, linking to one of their more embarrassing promotional materials) that, while it may not have been in the best of judgment on my part, was not deserving of a block. It certainly wasn't "vandalism". You could have reverted my edit, and as I see, you did just that. I won't even comment on the Magic edit I made, because I was adding correct information: from an objective design-oriented perspective, the online version of the game is a disastrous failure, akin to E.T. for Atari. Almost certainly I know more about game design than you do.

You fail as an adminstrator of Wikipedia and you are not fit in that role. Please accept this. Mike Church 06:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: your latest hit on my User Page

It's not very hard to develop a sense of humor, and it's a pity that you don't have one. Ah well; it isn't my fault. Mike Church 01:56, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey Mike. I haven't talked to Kmccoy, but it isn't hard to see where he was coming from. I don't see you producing humor all I see is you being a dick. If you were buddies with Lotsofissues, then it would still be more confusing than funny... but since it appears that you are not, I'd like to echo Kmccoy's request that you cut it out. --Gmaxwell 05:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
