Thanks for your message. I really hope you will be able to stay this time. We need good admins like yourself here. I was thinking of you today as I was flying around NYC in a light plane. It's a beautiful city. Take care and enjoy the holidays. --John (talk) 03:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Michael Jackson

Sorry about adding that without your permission. I have added a discussion in the discussion area. Many people wonder about Jackson's sexuality, and since there is nothing in there about his sexuality, I thought it would be a good idea to add that. With the exception of one sentence, I feel it is total neutral. The one sentence about his "feminine characteristics" can be debated however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enorton (talk • contribs) 01:39, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GreatNonProfits.org has been flagged as a promotional website when in fact they are a great non profit organization like none out there gathering non profit organizations with reviews and summaries for people to volunteer and help. I believe it should be added. Please help me with this —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iastudilloi (talk • contribs)

How exactly did you find that image? diff.
Reply here, thank you.--Tasc0 ^{It's a zero!} 04:55, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Google Image Search it's right there on the first page. Gwernol 04:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, assuming that Flickr user is uploading copyvio images, this one may be another: Eminem warrior.--Tasc0 ^{It's a zero!} 05:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, it even has a shady-unit.com watermark on it: clearly a publicity still and a blatant copyright violation, I'm afraid. Gwernol 05:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please tell me how is this possible? For Pete's sake. Ok; the license is a free one but it's a copyvio!

Would you mind adding the proper speedy deletion template to the image?--Tasc0 ^{It's a zero!} 05:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Edit summaries

Did you interpret that as a personal attack towards a user? ♣ Klptyzm ^{Chat wit' me § Contributions} ♣ 06:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship by Google

Please restore what I wrote about Censorship of Gmail on the article about Censorship by Google and what I wrote on Talk:Shabak. I'm the source and I put evidence on Talk:Censorship by Google and Talk:Shabak (deleted). Are you related to any government or secret agency and specifically the United States of America or Israel? Wikipedia should be edited by individual people, the evidence I wrote is concrete and should not be deleted. Citizen of the state (talk) 11:00, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Narrow gauge railway

Re: the layout of this article. You wrote "I believe that moving the images so that the section text wraps around them leaves us with inconsistent and messy layout of the sections, and that having the images below the text is better. Let me know what you think.".

The article was recently edited and as a result there is a picture under the text for most country sections. I think this looks ugly because:

There is a chunk of unused white-space to the right of each picture.
The article is physically longer than it need be, because of all this white space.

I think the thumbnail pictures should be integrated with the text, as is normal in Wikipedia. I would also suggest putting them on the right, which appears to be the Wiki standard, but I don't really mind which side.

A train at Bad Bubendorf station on the 750 mm gauge Waldenburgerbahn between Liestal and Waldenburg in Switzerland[1].

P.S. I was the person who put the Waldenburgerbahn photo at the top of the article. I did so because I think the article gave/gives too much emphasis to old and preserved lines, and gave the impression narrow-gauge is "has been" technology. This may be the case in GB and USA, but is not elsewhere. I wanted to put a modern narrow-gauge line first in the article. I regularly use this line, though it isn't my photo, it is the one used in Waldenburgerbahn.

P.P.S. I didn't realise I wasn't logged in when I was doing the edits. TiffaF (talk) 16:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Check Point page edits

Why are you removing truthful data from the Check Point page? I see similar information on the Cisco, Netscreen and other company pages. Why is Check point being singled out by Wiki? If you want to edit the page, why not remove the inaccuracies instead? Please restore the edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.226.122 (talk • contribs)

3rr filing related to Mac OS X v10.5

Hello, I filed this 3rr on User:Huwjones7. -/- Warren 20:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gwernol, it's always a shame when people choose not to discuss the edits they want to make. Have a nice day. :) -/- Warren 20:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lobojo attacked me

I did not attack anybody. I was just using a popular expression. Lobojo attacked me when he made fun of my name when he undid my changes! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanSokandro (talk • contribs)

Sock?

Thanks for you help.

Single purpose actcount created 10 miutes ago, knows how to use wikimark up already and how to look legit by writing some random crap on the user page. Almost certainly an abusive sock, trying to get around 3rr, or cause others to do so. Checkuser will be enlightening I am quite sure of that. Lobojo (talk) 02:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Crated a user page and wrote someting on the talk page (to avaoid red links) within one minute, then made the edit they wanted to. Almost certainly the scokputter of an established user. Lobojo (talk) 02:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was just deleted, this user knows exactly what he is doing after only 5 minutes. His edit was designed to tempt me into violating 3rr, and to make it imposible to keep the appropriate tags on the article. I think I know who this is. Either a sock or meatpuppet of established user who is very involved in editing this article. Lobojo (talk) 02:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note the comment above too, he knows the game inside out. Lobojo (talk) 02:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE MAKE LOBOJO STOP MAKING UP STORIES ABOUT ME. I NEVER EVEN MET HIM BEFORE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanSokandro (talk • contribs) 02:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Putting on a child-like innocent voice "stop being mean to me" etc, are classic ideas too. Lobojo (talk) 02:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"User:Krypto the Superdog"

Hello, I was trying to rename the userbox I created "User:Wolfdog1/Krypto the Superdog" to "User:Krypto the Superdog". I am not vandalizing and would appreciate it if you would undelete User:Krypto the Superdog!

Thanks!

You might consider protecting the page again. I don't see too many anonymous edits that are not being reverted. I was considering doing it but you seem to watching the article right now. --NrDg 02:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thanks for the thoughtful warning concerning my edit on Tobacco Smoking. That will not happen again.--200.251.234.247 (talk) 17:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion from Bruce Lee as OR

I just noticed that you deleted the most recent entry to the list of anime and video game characters modeled on Bruce Lee from that article, specifying that it was original research. Why didn't you delete all of them, as I see no difference in that respect (that is not one of them is reference-cited)? This, BTW, was not my work, nor are any of the others. My interest is purely academic, and hope that you can point out a distinction that I have failed to pick up on. Ted Watson (talk) 19:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SPIEGEL: Should there be an international peacekeeping force along the Lebanese-Israeli border?

Carter: Yes.

SPIEGEL: And can you imagine Germans soldiers taking part?

Carter: Yes, I can imagine Germans taking part.

SPIEGEL: ... even with their history?

Carter: Yes. That would be certainly satisfactory to me personally, and I think most people believe that [b]enough time has passed so that historical facts can be ignored.[/b] Xulong (talk) 00:33, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
