I'm moving house, don't expect an answer before Monday :-) Just zis Guy you know? 22:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re:afds

Yea, usually I do redirect unless it is under and AFD because the community might decide to keep it or not to redirect it at all. I usually don't like to close AFDs early, especially if I'm the only one who has voted. Dinosaur puppy 00:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can if you like, though, I won't object. Just zis Guy you know? 06:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diana Irey

A new user (MRMKJason (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) has taken it upon himself to remove your semi-protection, and say it wasn't controversial. MRMKJason (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is probably the IP that has been hitting it, both focus on only one article. There are two sources from the political spectrum offered that it is a big deal. C56C 04:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MRMKJason has been involved with that article on-and-off for a very long time; his involvement predated both yours and mine. Before you ever started trying to inject a pro-Democrat POV in the Irey article, I was struggling against him over wording that I regard as pro-Republican. And, since you have attacked three of the articles on which I work (and made reference to the other two (on Madge Oberholtzer and on D. C. Stephenson) in lodging a bogus complaint), you are plainly lying when you claim that I edit only one. —12.72.119.224 23:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"I have a dream ..."

Note that MarkGallagher does this every so often. I try to do it, too. See also Wikipedia:AfD Patrol. Uncle G 09:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here are two that you can help with:

Please double-check my reasoning that it is not a sound application of our verifiability policy (given Aladin (AfD discussion), Jamie Kane (AfD discussion), and many other past examples) to take a band's own web site at face value and not to look for sources other than what a band says about itself, and that it is not an application of our verifiability policy at all to accept as a source a book that is not only an autobiography but that hasn't even been published.

Evolutionary musicology merger

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Musilanguage

I'm happy to do the merger, by the way. Uncle G 10:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually...

...I probably would, haha. Yes, I disagree with the reasoning and your snow close onn the silly Backstreet thing (at least stop linking the thing, sheesh, heh), and I actually think that it might have been the second AfD pertaining to this meme, and that the first one was under a different name, but I can't find it. Also, with Learn about Easter, I'm pretty sure term papers aren't speedyable yet. Either way, do as you must. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a question of what is better for the editor and the encyclopaedia: a week of people poking fun at their article, or quietly deleting it. On the other hand, I am a wicked rouge admin... Just zis Guy you know? 17:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Robertson article

Tyro nominated Chris Robertson for deletion and it was then speedy userfied by you (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Robertson). I was the orignial creator of the Chris Robertson article - and the article I wrote was about the sqaush player Chris Robertson, a former professional player who was once the world junior champion and ranked No. 3 in the world. I suspect that what happened is that Urbanaddict then changed the article to one about a different Chris Robertson (who may well be himself). I've now recreated the Chris Robertson article in a similar format to when I orginally wrote it. I think it should stay as the squash player is, in my opinion, encyclopedicly notable. But the page may need monitoring to stop Urbanaddict tinkering with it. Zaxem 03:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:There is no deadline

I am proposing a merging with this article and WP:GREAT due to the similarity in content. Agree? Please reply on my talk page.

RFA thanks

Thanks so much for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (64/3/3). I will be stepping lightly at first trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust!

Redirects

Is there any way to speedy the school and state redirects at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2006 August 19? CaliEd 21:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I applied a little rouge. It came as no surprise to find that this user's other work includes creating a disparaging category just for Michael Moore, and work on Hyles-Anderson College. Just zis Guy you know? 22:12, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made the above redirects, but I never made any "disparaging category just for Michael Moore". Quit making things up about me. You really appear to be acting like a bully. What does Hyles-Anderson College have to do with my redirects? And why do you bring it up? I notice that you have made many edits to that article.

You have also deleted other edits of mine without giving any explanation. --Kalmia 06:56, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OIC, so you made up a disparaging category and purely by coincidence put only Michael Moore in it. That makes all the difference... Just zis Guy you know? 17:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You may call it a "disparaging category", but it was really factual whether you liked it or not. I guess you think this is a disparaging article. And it wasn't "just" for Michael Moore. I put many others in there including Jerry Falwell, Dennis Hastert, King Henry VIII, Walter_Hudson and William Howard Taft. Michael Moore wasn't even one of the first to be added, but I guess that is the only one you could read. Why don't you use your admin. tools to go back and look it up. Log is here. --Kalmia 19:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And what about Category:Overweight people? And what was the reliable secondary source for Moore being obese? Just zis Guy you know? 07:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made Category:Overweight people then figured that Category:Obese people would be a better category, so I made that one and left the other alone. As for sources, I googled for a list and put some people in there and left it for others to finish. --Kalmia 19:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ackoz

Hello,

An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ackoz. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ackoz/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ackoz/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, --Tony Sidaway 11:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bowser

Remember the bad Bowser move you made a few days ago?? Please note that the Nintendo character, not the tanker truck, is the primary meaning. Georgia guy 13:40, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

False. The fuel tanker meaning predates the Nintendo character by several decades and is probably the predominant meaning worldwide, whatever Nintendo fans may think. Bowser currently redirects to the dab page which is fine. Just zis Guy you know? 07:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. --kingboyk 08:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support

I just came across the Arbcom case concerning ParalelUni and I would like to offer you my support. Comments like the ones he made have no place in Wikipedia, or in real life and I hope his ban will be endorsed by the Arbcom. Anyway, I hope this won't stop you from editing. If you ever need any help to get through a rough patch let me know. I'd be happy to share my recent Esperanza-ness with you. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:37, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Irony

The irony is that if our thousands of investors knew how much time I spent here, I'd probably get the sack. Stephen B Streater 18:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

bolt-free fitting?

Hi. If you're triaging your messages, put this one on the bottom of the pile. I was revising the cage nut article and the phrase "Although most modern rack-mount servers have bolt-free fitting", which first appeared in your revision of 23:09, 14 March 2006, caught my attention. I have never seen, or before now even heard of, any such servers. Before editing it I wanted to check with you and see why you think something is commonplace that I've never heard of. Presumably it has to do with our working in different parts of the business an ocean away from each other, but I'm curious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xela (talk • contribs) 04:40, August 30, 2006 (UTC)

Compaq, Dell and IBM all now supply snap-in rack mount rails which require no bolts for at least some products in their range. Some which do require bolts have the threads attached to the rails. I find that when I build racks these days the only things which require cagenuts are switches and UPS. Just zis Guy you know? 10:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disclaimer pages

Hey; thanks plenty for filling the editprotected on the disclaimer; if you could do the same for the risk, medical, legal and content I'd appreciate it quite much (also remember to repoint the header template and remove the first colon from the category upon each copy; take a glance back at my original post if you forget exactly what they're supposed to be). Thanks again. ~ PseudoSudo 13:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
