Motorola G5

Hi there! I see that you made an addition to the Motorola G5 project page regarding functional processors. I'd appreciate if you could corroborate that statement with a reference or two. I'm satisfied with the article, so it's no criticism, I'm just curious of personal reasons.. :) -- Henriok 18:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool.. I live little anecdotes like that. Sometimes I'd like that all executives would come clean and write about what really happened. There should be a limit on how long you have to keep your mouth shut. 10 years, and all things are forgiven.. :) -- Henriok

Stand Alone Complex

I don't think Ned Scott's actions are unreasonable. Although some discussion beforehand would have been good, there is nothing wrong with being bold. I've given my comments at Talk:Ghost in the Shell (philosophy)#My Mass Confusion about the merge. I suggest you discuss the appropriateness of the merge there. There's no reason to go for mediation unless you reach a stalemate - try to get some other neutral editors involved first. Cheers, Yomangani ^talk 11:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commons Picture of Year

Hello, I hope this is correct here. I am the same person as '148.100.223.69' who posted under the vote for picture of year. Commons: 148.100.223.69 I am MrMacMan and I have 100 edits with wiki. MrMacMan 23:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PJMN

The article should have been, in my opinion, classified as a7 because it was written in the form of a biography or autobio. In fact, the article stated that the subject is a "good friend and a stand up guy". If this was an attack article, it would more likely be a few sentences long directly stating how the subject is flawed. Similarily, if the subject saw the article and tried to change it to his liking, it would most likely be composed of a few sentences saying how perfect he is.

Bad_Luck_Schleprock

sincere thanks for reading and tagging it. It needs both. Still, I beleive it is low drag and at least faintly notable and, thus, fair game. 05:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I have dozens of sources, if you count secondary links; take 1972, for example: dozens of sources. Plenty of stuff happened in 1972. Seriously though, the term "sehleprock" is out there. Numskll 06:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Aaron Moore Jr.

Obviously Christopher Aaron Moore Jr. was non-notable, and no amount of effort wasted upon embellishing the article would have changed that underlying problem. It would be dishonest of us to suggest to people that they might merit articles when they don't. Melchoir 05:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Bobby Sue

I couldn't agree more with the deletion of Bobby Sue. It was definitely nonsense. You beat me to the SPEEDY tag, though; what tool are you using? Whatever it is, it must be great. — Tuvok[^T@lk/_{Improve me}] 06:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Contribs by User:Brocketologist

Hi, MrMacMan. Thanks for your post at AIV about the pages being contributed by User:Brocketologist; but I'm not sure that the pages are patent nonsense. They seem to be connected with the comedy album Brocket 99 (to which, you'll notice, Brocketologist made his first edits). Now, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the pages were copyright violations, or non-notable, or unworthy of Wikipedia in some other regard — but I don't think they're patent nonsense. (They might be — I've never heard of this album before tonight, but Brocket 99 has a substantial history, so it's presumably real, and the elements mentioned in the pages created by Brocketologist sound like they might be connected somehow to it.)

Anyway, I wanted to let you know why I removed your post from AIV without blocking Brocketologist. I don't think he's done anything that merits a block. If you have more concerns about his edits, let me know on my talk page or re-list him at AIV. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you go crazy doing this? Andyroost 21:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An Automated Message from HagermanBot

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 02:52, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I find your tone a tad aggressive and pompous. Just because I reached your default level of not quickly remembering my tildes enough for you doesn't mean I need the reminder. And yes I recognize you are a bot and don't matter. MrMacMan 03:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC) as well as MrMacMan 03:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC) agree about this matter.[reply]

Hi ... saw your message on my talk page about dealing with people who remove the speedy delete tags. I'm afraid I don't know the answer either, but if you find out, let me know, because I keep running across the same thing.

Hi Jeremiah!

I didn’t know you edit for Wikipedia too. I thought you didn’t like it. And you said some of it is not true. Of course there’s going to be things that aren’t true. Cause its people writing for it. And we’ll not perfect. That’s an interesting username. How did you come up with it? I don't take resource room this year. I have one extra period to take an extra elective. I don’t understand how people like resource room. All it does is takes up space. Therefore, they can’t take as many electives as most people can. Anyway, how do you know I'm jessica? This is an IP address, after all. (69.117.20.128 - Talk)

I also use this IP address to....this is the Great Neck library IP address. I am working on Inclusive classroom right now....you should read it...it's very interesting. I wish Great Neck South was an inclusive school. What articles have you been working on? I reverted your edit on Great Neck South High School. First your version sounded like Great Neck South is a competitive school. Why can't we make the article more friendly? Who cares if South does really well....my version describes every type of student...yours describe the success of only the overachievers.(209.177.21.6 - Talk)

Village school picture

Kyla is me.....and I know that I took it from the Village School site....I took the picture of the Village School from the site...The Village School was updated recently...so of course the picture is different now. (209.177.21.6 - Talk)

I don't see how you have a higher quality picture then is on the Village School site. It's not possible. MrMacMan 21:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stub sorting

Hello MrMacMan,

I noticed you marked an article as a stub using the {{stub}} template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the Wikipedia community because it helps various WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.

You can view the full list of stub types at WP:STUBS.

If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks! — jmorgan (talk) 04:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

question

"I think that the wikipedia picture was the original picture and the one on village school site was given to them, and then they made it smaller -- thusly wikipedia has the original and unstolen image."

How can Wikipedia have the orginial picture of Village School? The Village School has the original picture first since it's theres. Wikipedia doesn't own original pictures. The person who uploaded the image was from the Village School site. The Village School recently updated the site so it's different now.

Speaking of the Village School, I deleted most of it because it is copy violation.

Inclusive classroom needs help...why don't you help by adding sources on it? that would be great. i luv that article....do you think that i can go to the board of education and ask them if the school district can change all of its schools to inclusive. Great Neck South, North, Village..aren't inclusive...i'm going to do it...what do you think? I felt isolated in special education...therefore i'm going to do it...i'm going to protest this unfairness. (209.177.21.6 - Talk)

You are correct, wikipedia doesn't own the picture -- however what I meant to say was that the person who took the picture originally uploaded it to wikipedia. After sometime the Village school was looking for a good picture of the school and found it on wikipedia. They downloaded the image, made it significantly smaller and put it up on their website. MrMacMan 22:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'They updated the site so it's different now.' so how am I supposed to know it was actually their picture instead of ours? Anyway isn't the school a public entity? Even if the image was owned by the school I could easily request that it be made open to the public. MrMacMan 23:03, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:All of the Great Neck Elementary Schools?

Why can't I create articles for the elementary schools in the Great Neck School District? All of the secondary schools in the Great Neck School District is listed. I don't understand why I can't create elementary schools too. If elementary schools are not important, then secondary schools shouldn't be listed either. right? I also added another image for the Great Neck South High School article. And I changed the heading to academic excellence. Go check it out and tell me if it's okay. I hope it's okay. Do you like the image I took? I love taking pictures. What other pictures should I take of the school? (RainingmySoul 20:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Re:A continuing problem

Well you can just remove the edits made by the IP on your user subpage. After you get evidence of possible socks, you can go for an RFCU case again to confirm whether or not they are actually sockpuppets. If confirmed, they can be blocked afterwards. Nishkid 64 23:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:RFCU. Read everything carefully, and when you make the report, please do so in an appropriate manner. You can contact other admins if you wish. I don't see it as being entirely productive, but they might offer some advice that might be worthwhile. Nishkid 64 23:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thanks for the cleanup

Of course. :) The goal, in my mind, is to be as user-friendly as possible. The meat of the request is up to you, the finicky formatting and ohno which template is best here issues are less important. Always nice to see somebody adding their request onto /Pending, too! Good luck. – Luna Santin (talk) 08:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zeus

There were 2 edits in a row. I may have been a bit over zealous with the final warning notice considering it was only their 2nd vandalism of the page. I normally give many, many warnings before resorting to such things. --BlindEagle^talk 16:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot show you the changes. I suppose I could dig for the vandalism around the time I placed the warning. But, by the time I got done writing the vandalism warning, someone else reverted the edits. This has happened to me several times in the last few days. Those bots are fast. --BlindEagle^talk 18:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I did some digging and I think I found it. You may look at this [[1]] to see the differences that I reverted from this vandal. --BlindEagle^talk 18:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose I could have put the notice on the wrong page. I'm human like everyone else. --BlindEagle^talk 19:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CU request

Just to clear up the sitaution: You believe those accounts are socks of Jessica Liao? Correct? If they are, then I suggest you bring it up at WP:AN/I and ask others if the accounts can be blocked as sockpuppets of the user. I know her previous socks were blocked, and I'll check into the RFCU request that you made earlier. Nishkid 64 23:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do I know you?

I am a 2006 graduate of Great Neck South High School who now attends Carnegie Mellon University (due to privacy reasons I cannot give my real name here), and after observing this edit, it would seem that we might know each other in real life. Can you please send me an e-Mail (using the "E-mail this user" link) to check whether my suspicion is correct or not? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TML (talk • contribs) 22:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Tom, meet my best friend in the whole world Jeremiah! Yes you guys both all go to the same school. Wow...what a coincidence...i knew you guys would meet someday...this is so romantic! (sarcastic)(69.117.20.128 - talk)

Thanks a lot Jessica. You really seem to have some weird ideas about about my non-relation to Tom here. We all went through the same schools... so what? MrMacMan 04:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Possible admin assistance?

For this issue, and for future relevant issues, I would suggest reporting this at the administrator's incidents noticeboard. User:Jessica Liao's block was lifted last July by another admin, and the recent edit is her only edit since then, though her IP seems active. IP addresses are harder to handle, and are rarely permanently blocked due to possible collateral damage to other editors. --Tom (talk - email) 13:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I hope everything goes smoothly. =) Nishkid 64 13:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not troll...

Please comment on the vote, not the voter. Your edit has been reverted. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 10:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And to answer your question, which should have been asked in the appropriate place (my talk page), I am under no obligation to archive anything. And right at the top of my talk page I say "be aware that I ... reserve the right to revert and refactor at will." Comments such as your's or your buddies' that are made solely to get a specific rise get the vandalism treatment. Comments put in wholly inappropriate places under the same goal is trolling. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 10:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3rd Opinion

People are pretty free with reasonable limits on their user pages to remove content. Feel free to review the user page guidelines. Also, as a matter of community consensus, established and productive users are generally allowed a bit more leeway, especially in regards to subpages. With user talk pages, it's considered nice to archive. However, as long as they aren't changing words to make it seem like something differant was said, its acceptable for them to refactor and delete. How that helps. If you have any questions, please hit my talk page. Be well! Vassyana 09:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If someone deletes your comments on their talk page, it doesn't mean that you're trolling or anything of the like. Some people just delete comments after they are read. WP:TALK is for general talk page guidelines. User space operates under a differant set of rules. WP:USER is the guideline for all user space pages, including an editor's main user page, their user talk page and any user subpages they might have. If you have questions about how it works out, or just questions in general, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page. Vassyana 19:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite welcome. It's no problem at all. If you have any other questions regarding Wikipedia, always feel free to drop a line on my talk page. I'm glad I could help. Vassyana 00:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Vandalism warning

Yep - my bad there, WP:TW is massively useful but the whole warning system is put down to a few buttons. I hit the "AFG" option rather that the "ok, stop it now its annoying".
