Hi chris...

I think you should ask her. Goodshoped35110s 04:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And I was visiting your userpage two months ago and said that you are anti-gun. I am currently creating a userbox for that. Do you want the template? If so, visit my userpage and pick it up, soon. -Goodshoped 00:59, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Here you go:

Re: Woods Division

I don't really care. Go right ahead and delete it, I don't even really know why I even created the article, I mean the title is wrong, and stuff, but some of the California and PH/PM cable cars were built in its carpentry division. -Goodshoped 02:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And two other users have made edits to that article. -Goodshoped 02:35, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: 38 Geary

The article was nominated for deletion once by User:Kurykh. It was withdrawn when it was convinced that the route was notable. If possible, you might as well redirect the page to B Geary. -Goodshoped 01:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Adopt-An-Alleyway Youth Empowerment Project

This organization is actually notable. I happen to know because I happen to be a member of this organization, which has been featured as a community hero over at Crissy Field (I think it's still there...), but, you probably never heard of it. It's been featured in the Chronicle (I think) twice, so people know about this youth organization, and it is a good club that can get people into college. I am not starting that article just for the spam thing, in fact, I do not intend to spam anyone here in Wikipedia, because that's what I do not do. So, anyway, I would like to tell you in a lengthy reply on how the AAA is notable, but, you probably know that Norman Fong started it in the 1990s as a recruitment for High School students (there's even a video of that in Youtube!), because back then people simply didn't give a care about the alleyways in Chinatown, nor were they even officially recognized as city streets. So, that's how it started, and we usually clean up every 2nd Saturday of the month, and they even run the Chinatown Alleyway Tours, which is a hit to tourists, and has been featured in Bay Area Backroads one time. That's how notable it is. I'm just saying. :) Cheers, -Goodshoped 04:30, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And can you please give me a more detailed reason why other than the fact that it is "non notable". -Goodshoped 05:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment

It says here that "I dislike people who destroy other's work." Well, I have a question, and it is not a personal attack, just to let you know. You've nominated three of my articles for deletion in the past two weeks! The first article was Woods Division, which I went ahead with, and the second article is the 38 Geary, which I convinced you to redirect it to the B Geary page. Now, you're on Adopt-An-Alleyway Youth Empowerment Project, which I created. Now I want to know, are you doing this because of its notability, or are you trying to personally attack me? The comment I made is nothing personal, and it should not be mistaken for a personal attack. Thank you very much and have a great evening. -Goodshoped 02:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi chris (Justin Doerr)...

I have been looking around Wikipedia and I have been getting information and re-editing it. The thing is I was reported for vandalizing an article by you when I was actually providing real information. it says in the San Jose article that the metro area has 1.8 million people but when I looked around and typed in San Francisco Bay Area which is considered a metropolitan area it says that there are 7.2 million people. you may be using sources from the U.S. census bureau but I happen to live in the Bay area and its universally agreed here that San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose metropolitan area is considered to be a whole consolidated area. therefore it is a FACT that San Jose is actually considered to be part of the San Francisco Bay Area —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.204.29.14 (talk) 03:46, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to thank you for your participation in my successful RfA, which passed with a tally of (44/10/5)[1]. Whether you supported, opposed or were neutral in my RfA, I appreciate your participation and I hope that we can continue to work together to build a stronger and better Wikipedia.

Hi Chrishomingtang. Thanks for you contributions. Unfortunately, I'd like to alert you to the following point from the AWB rules:

  • Avoid making insignificant or inconsequential edits such as only adding or removing some white space, moving a stub tag, converting some HTML to Unicode, removing underscores from links (unless they are bad links), or something equally trivial. This is because it wastes resources and clogs up watch lists.

Thanks. —METS501 (talk) 03:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs

Chris, I'm kind of concerned that you jumped the gun with setting up multiple AfDs with such a short explanation in "per WP:OR". I don't believe that WP:OR stands alone as an argument because it can be considered proper to write neutrally while drawing from primary sources, such as implementing plot summaries. You can see my extensive argument here, which was necessary to basically cover all the bases from the beginning. At this, one editor even says, "Even the nominator doesn't offer a good reason to delete it." I won't be providing recommendations at these AfDs -- based on their outcome, I will revisit these articles in 6 months and make a more detailed argument. You have to present such AfDs in a manner in which people find it hard to submit a keep vote. I hope you understand. —Erik (talkcontrib) - 05:25, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is adding my blog considerd vandalism?

I have been trying to add my blog as an external link for the Golden State Warriors but you have removed and flagged it as vandalism. Can you please provide me with an explanation as to why you consider my blog to be vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vito.Delucchi (talkcontribs) 22:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please tell me why my addition to the external links was removed and what I can do to legally add the link I have been trying to add. I would like to follow the rules but I would also like the same rights to exists that the other blogs have seemed to have been granted but I for some reason unexplained to me have been denied. I look forward to hearing back from you.

You have no right now to keep removing the external link to the Blog. I have read the rules and will cite them if need be. You cited the rule:

"Sites that violate the copyrights of others per contributors' rights and obligations should not be linked. "

So I followed the terms and fixed the Blog. Even though both the other external links have violated the same exact rule you cited. This is unjust I ask you show some compassion as I have continued to try and appease your relentless effort to remove my additions. I only wonder what your motive is for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.217.237 (talk) 01:39, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to continue this stubborn behavior at least let me know why? I have met the guidlines you have no basis. Please explain your intentions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.217.237 (talk) 02:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chris (from Godisender)

Thanks for evening out the Ocean Park page, and sorry for over criticizing it. But I think we should still leave the price increase in, because to Hong Kongers it was pretty big news as it made its tickets almost as much as HKDL. The reason why I put the 14 rides thing on the criticism page was because Ocean Park claims it has 30+ attractions when it only has 14. DO you think it's possible to somehow say that without harming the neutrality of the page? Thanks a lot, Godisender —Preceding unsigned comment added by Godisender (talkcontribs) 14:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your hollow threats regarding the edit war there is not solving anything. Please try to actually resolve the problem instead of linking to WP:3RR wherever you go. Happy editing! --Agüeybaná 21:21, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Al Gore's Nobel Prize and Oscar Award

To: User talk:Chrishomingtang and User talk:JackofOz

From: User talk:Joseph A. Spadaro

Re: Academy Award#Miscellaneous records

Hi. I noticed your edits to the Miscellaneous Records section of the Academy Awards article, in which you indicate that "Al Gore really did not win an Oscar" in your edit summary box. Nonetheless, the substantive edit in the article states: "George Bernard Shaw is the only person to have been awarded both an Oscar and a Nobel Prize. Al Gore is arguably the second person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize (the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 shared with Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and an Oscar (presented by Davis Guggenheim, director of the Academy Award winning An Inconvenient Truth, in 2007)." I am pretty confused about this situation ... and this wording in the article is even more confusing. Did Gore win an Oscar or not? If he did ... or even if he did not ... why is his status "arguable"? Please reply at my Talk Page and clear this up for me. Please reply -----> User talk:Joseph A. Spadaro. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro 04:37, 17 October 2007 (UTC))[reply]

May I comment here? I was also under the impression that Gore won an Oscar, and that last week he joined the exclusive GBS club of Oscar/Nobel winners. I even made edits to both Gore's and GBS's articles saying this. But I was reverted and informed that Gore did not win an Oscar. The Oscar was awarded to the director of An Inconvenient Truth (whatever his name is), not to Gore. Gore got all the attention and the limelight, and he joined the production team on the stage at the Oscars ceremony, and it was widely reported that "Al Gore's film AIT has won the Oscar for Best Documentary" - so it's perhaps understandable why he was often referred to as an "Oscar-winner", but that is simply not the case. Either he was awarded an Oscar, or he wasn't - there's no middle ground with "arguably" etc. He wasn't awarded an Oscar. The Oscar-winning director (whatever his name is) must be fuming - could 1 person out of 1000 name him?
This reminds me of another case where misinformation was perpetuated for years. When I was at school, I was told, many times, that Australia's first Oscar winner was the photographer Damien Parer, who supposedly won the 1942 Best Documentary Oscar for Kokoda Front Line. This was something that every Aussie kid knew, because Parer was an icon in 1950s Australia, having been killed on duty in the Pacific while filming our boys in action against the enemy (he's a lot less remembered these days). But it was never true. The film that won that Oscar was produced by Ken G. Hall, and Hall was the one who was awarded the Oscar. When I first heard this, I said "Ken G who?". But it's true. -- JackofOz 05:11, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Jack of Oz. Sorry that it has taken so long for me to reply back to you -- but lately I have been pretty busy with "real life" (i.e., non-Wiki life). Yes, you may comment here ... your comments are appreciated ... and, in fact, I was glad to get some input on this very issue. I had suspected all along exactly the scenario that you described. That is, Gore never really won that Oscar -- it was just sort of hyped up that way in the media. And, I agree -- no middle ground -- no "arguably" -- Gore either did or did not ... and, in this case, he did not. But, I wanted to give the original poster the benefit of the doubt, and -- as such -- I asked them to clarify this point for me ... just in case there was something that I was missing / unaware of. At this point, I am going to revert and/or edit the Academy Award article to reflect the actual scenario ... that is, George Bernard Shaw is the only winner of both an Oscar and a Pulitzer ... and Gore is not. Thanks for your input -- it is appreciated. Thanks! (Joseph A. Spadaro 19:04, 21 October 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for the heads up

I remember when I first got AWB, I know it specified not to just do it if it was blank spaces, but I didn't remember it being quite this specific. If you'll notice my history, I don't edit often anymore, and it's partially rules like this (or stuff like the discouraging of trivia sections or the many deletionists) that make me choose not to. This site is really good for information, but it's also by far one of the worst websites as far as discouraging information and improving web pages. Things shouldn't be taken nearly as seriously as people do (it's the Internet, after all), but clearly this is only getting worse. I sorta expected I might get a response about this, but figured I might not since no one's mentioned it before. Thought if I did, I'd just go on and give up editing anything else, so there it ends.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:24617f.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:24617f.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of RfC on Ghosttown talk page

Just thought you might want to know that Alansohn removed the RfC you put up, in this edit. Since I'm apparently being quarantined there, maybe it's better if you put it back up (and perhaps warn him about such behavior while you're at it). +ILike2BeAnonymous 06:21, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of possible interest

This, since you too were a target of that link. Thank you, by the way, for making an eloquent case on that rather dispiriting discussion. Biruitorul 01:24, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two things: one, that's a meta.wikipedia essay, so we don't have the power to do that over here. Two, even though I'm not a big fan of it either, it's regarded as a basic guideline and is much better known, making deletion far more difficult. So I would support an eventual deletion or at least discussion, but I suggest sticking to smaller, more winnable battles for the time being. Biruitorul 03:09, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of how the average Wikipedia reader is currently moving

I just wanted to say that I thought your comment that my science article was: "an unencyclopedic piece of garbage. I can't believe we are discussing this." was totally out-of-line and rude. I would hope that if you have such strong feeling you could specifically add comments on what was "unencyclopedic" about it. That statement is not helpful and undermines the "consensus" process upon which Wikipedia is built. Wikipedia is such a broad project that what might seem obviously strange and unencyclopedic to an editor of the type of articles that you edit, might be very ordinary and obviously encyclopedic to people with other interests and backgrounds.

A while back you made an edit that stated Kerr was a commentator for TNT and that he had retired. Do you think it would be appropriate you change this because he is so far still commentating.

Banned user TyrusThomas4lyf

Sorry! — I didn't get your message until just a little while ago, and by then you had already cleaned up most of the sock-puppetry. Thanks for catching this and dealing with it. Unfortunately, I'm sure we'll be at it again before too long. Myasuda (talk) 01:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, a determined person who commits sock-puppetry using an anonymous IP account is pretty hard keep off wikipedia. For example, see the comment from Fut.Perf. in the Conclusions area Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (4th). For what it's worth, I've tried a number of routes:
I've listed these in decreasing order of overall effectiveness, from my own personal experience. The first one tends to get a very quick response, while the second one is relatively labor intensive (although one can do a lot of copying and pasting — btw, the latest incarnation of this series of cases is Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (7th)). Another alternative is to contact an admin (such as KnowledgeOfSelf or Daniel Case) who is knowledgeable of the User:TyrusThomas4lyf case history as soon as sock-puppetry is detected. Still, if you can find a better long-term solution, by all means utilize it! I do appreciate your vigilance — allowing a banned user such as User:TyrusThomas4lyf to circumvent a block rewards persistence and deception, and so I feel that it's important to discourage further editing from this user.

Thickness of computers...

Hello! You edited the Pedion and Actius MM10 Muramasas pages. I think there are some small errors:

  • "official data by Sharp, the minimum height of the Actius MM10 Muramasas was 80 millimetres (3.15 in)". I think it should be "0.54" (min.)/0.78" (max.)" not 3.15 inch in height.
  • "minimum height (thickness) measured at" should read maximum height (in both articles).

Hi, Chris.

The reason I added the mentioned link was because it did not contain any advertising links within in it. I had that come up with others I did, so I think it would be okay to include it since it has to do with part of Florida's history, and there's nothing to distract from the link's main objective.
