Template:Saleisha Hello Gwernol,

Can you please replace Saliesha's picture with a more appropriate one. Or at the very best just remove the old one. Keep it clean.

Thank You

Well technically it's not an actual "fan-film", considering that it's going to be a quite huge production, costing a great deal of money. It's an independent film, based off of descriptions of events that I found on this site, that also had no references. The weapon itself is loosely based off of a weapon that was briefly mentioned in a book that I read a long while back, which was only mentioned once as "A lightsaber, with a hilt of extraordinary length, and a short blade." Other than calling it, "The Mincris", there was no other mention of it after that. I just gave it a name since it's used in my film. But the part about the blue prints being found in a Sith tomb, along with a holocron was actually from that book.

But thank you for sending me what I had written.

[EDIT] Ah, I found some reference from official lucas arts published work that I can actually remember the name for.. Darth Nihl used a variation of this weapon. It was referred to as a "Lightsaber Cane", which I guess is why I forgot about him. The name "The Mincris" is what was on the holocron in the other book that I had read.

So... Yeah, Here's my visual proof of the weapon. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/6/68/Nihlprofile.jpg

What's this all about?

I just got sent two messages regarding vandalism for something I didn't write. You accused me of adding my birthday to the wiki entry for the date of Jan. 13. Seeing as how my birthday doesn't fall on that day, I suggest you and yours stop accusing me of something I clearly wasn't responsible for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.68.250.213 (talk • contribs)

If a posting on the world wide web, by whatever means, can be considered for libel it must therefore be considered as 'published'. I am not into the minutiae of wikipedia but denying work published on the www, anywhere, is the wiki ideal being corrupted. Any knowledge once published, anywhere must be considered as new knowledge and consequently fit for inclusion in any encyclopedia, otherwise what is the point?

I accept the point about publishing 'original work' but not work on a web site whose contents are available to the world.

OK, I accept the knuckle rap for vandalism, just trying it on.

Made my rant on the [verifiability] page.

Why

I want to know why you keep sending me messages about me vandalizing Wikipedia. Ok, so I DID do something wrong on ###### but I wasn't lying about the Prostitution in Los Angeles, California since I used to live there I would know about that stuff. So please, please do not get me for stuff that you don't have facts about. Personally, I think you're TRYING to get me banned. Please don't do it unless you have good reason. I DID NOT THREATEN YOU!!!! You threatened me. I'm using freedom of speech and you can't ban me for that. Do what you like but I can get you banned just as well for threatening but I didn't threaten you, do some background research and TRY AND FIND WHERE I THREATENED YOU!! You won't find it! -Poison12346

edits on CA service desk page

Greetings Gwernol,

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I am writing you regarding the Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CA_Unicenter_Service_Desk.

I have been the user adding the external link titled 4utechnologies.com. We also run the world’s largest free forum of Unicenter Service Desk users. Users can go there and find solutions free of charge.

While 4uTechnologies is a consulting company, we are partnered on many different levels with CA, inc. Of course CA, Inc. is aware that 4uTechnologies has partnered with them for many years. We have a strategic partnership with education, services and we are a distributor for this software called Unicenter Service Desk.

I understand there has been a report about us (4uTech), yet this is not from CA, Inc. it is from a past employee “gityerfix”. This employee has sought to remove all our important information on Wikipedia.

If CA, INC. would request us to remove our external link, we of course, as their partner would be more than happy to do so. I feel 4uTechnologies; Inc. has been a part of Unicenter Service Desk history.

Thank you in advance for your attention and understanding on this matter.

Skabo

Hey there!

You're a railroad expert so I thought I'd get your input on this. Škabo is an article about a Serbian rapper. One of the redirects listed in Special:WhatLinksHere/Škabo is Skabo to which several railroad related articles link. The articles themselves mention Skabo as the builder and I sincerely doubt the rapper had anything to do with building those trains. Should the Skabo redirect maybe be freed up for an appropriate article or should the articles on the individual trains be de-linked for now?

Wikipedia:Your first article

Hi Gwernol, with ref to your recent edit at the above, you are quite probably right that ASCII art is not a good idea. That came about because of the recent fork from Wikipedia:Starting an article for the entire noob's to the site, discussed on WT:CSD (I think). Subsequently, several (!) new editors have persisted in starting their own "first articles" on the above page. We have been discussing this a bit on the associated talk page, and the text-created "Stop" is just a further attempt at getting the message over, made in all good faith. Any input you can make on the associated pages would be most appreciated. I'd be willing to place a bet that the next edit to that page will be someone trying to create a new article :) One Can$ loony only, and I'll be happy to lose!

Your recent unconstructive edits and false accusations

Warnings have ZERO effectiveness on the pages you cite. Please ban the shared IP instead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.31.113 (talk) 02:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do you plan on warning one specific 5th grader out of over 15,000 students + hundreds of staffers and teachers? --Carterhawk (talk) 19:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. The material you have reverted as vanadalism was written in a good faith. The fervor to give a point of view not included in the article prompted me to write it. Wikipedia is chsen because it is easy to edit in it and reach people at large, without going into drudgery of following formats of scientific journals and/or waiting for publication.

As regards self promotion, not only the books mentioned, most of my books [over forty in Marathi and English] are available for free download on scribd.com and www.superliving.net. I have what so ever no intention and no interest to promote sale. However it is promotion; only in as much as it reaches more people and is read and pondered upon by them.

As regards using the citation template, I find it difficult as I am not a competent computer user.

As far as I am concerend, I have been teaching graduate and post graduate medical students for last 30 years and have been conducting stress management workshops for not only medical consultants but other professinals as well. But more importantly I have been conducting workshops for all strata of the society and in many instances without charging any fees.

I have worked with blind individuals as well as small villages in India.

I have also been a Foreign Faculty Fellow in Basic Medical Sciences in Medial University of South Carolina and lived in Charleston [SC] for 1 year [1986 to 1987] and was awarded a certificate of distinction and two awards.

Having said that if you find the content of my writing useless or vandalism you can revert it and/or block me permanently.

Thanking you and wishing all the best in your noble work of global unity and global welfare, Sincerely, Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shriniwaskashalikar (talk • contribs) 12:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Summaries

I just want to say I do add comments where necessary, and the WikieWikieWikie is really my tag for a minor edit, although these usually are in strings and constitue major edits. If I add references or drastically alter the facts within an article I say why. Usually it is necessary to use WikieWikieWikie on the introduction, for edits on the sections generate an automatic summary, and I usually use this. If I write Introduction if my edits are on the intro I am sure this will be a significant reduction in my use of WikieWikieWikie as an edit summary. I hope this is enough. Otherwise, if I use the minor edit tag along with WikieWikieWikie, will this be Ok??? WikieWikieWikie (talk) 12:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

y

y did you give me a harsh warning? what happened to don' t bite the newbs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.212.67 (talk) 13:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recent blockage

Patrolling my watchlist, i came across 219.89.212.67, an annon IP who had vandalised the Pavlova article. I noticed you had blocked them for vandalism, but wondered what constituted a block in this case. Seemed like some petty non-NPOV/minor vandalism there. I do not in any way support vandalism of any kind, but i do support wikipedia's core policy, and slogan, The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. I wonder if this was the appropriate adminsitorial action here, or if you blocked them to prove a point. They don't seem to have contested the block, but i think the warning you gave was appropriate enough. I also noted they attempted to blank their talk page, something which is within the rules and rights and shouldn't have been reverted.

I don't usually get so involved in blockings, but this one caught my attenton for being overly pushy. Feel free to respond or not, just as long as your aware of the situation (and i do not mean to come off sounding harsh, but wish the best for all parties involved.) Best wishes and happy editing, Metagraph comment 14:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that sounds okay. Also, note that Telecom shifts IP's around every fortnight so if anyone comes bothering you, it'll probably be them. (I used to have them as my ISP, so unreliable.) Best, Metagraph comment 14:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. All the best Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shriniwaskashalikar (talk • contribs) 15:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was alerted no to re-edit and article on Peter Daicos. I've tried to explain each further editing I have made, even adding citations. If you happen to read wich are my additions you will notice that what I am trying to do is to write an article that avoids people from editiong-undoing- re-editing. It seems that this subject is becoming a "sujet d' etat". I assume that my Greek username may hurt Macedonian users but I am trying to be neutral and objective. Please, revise if I have been in conflict before when editing, and if my "undoers" can say the same. Please I ask you to read also the Talk Page about this subject where I stressed my points of view.

Periptero

To be entirely honest, while his later edit was technically a revert, blocking the user (though it's only a day...) might be too strong a measure. The piece he added is pretty much a personal synthesis but I gave up on trying to revert it and just corrected some points. Do you think that an unblock would be possible? (Not to question your judgment or anything :). Thanks. Edit: Actually, I just noticed we're both waaay over 3rr (I won't comment on 3rr's deficiencies). Those reverts sure fly by. 3rdAlcove (talk) 20:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping me out with this user on Deal Or No Deal (UK game show)!

Vertigo315

I have been having problems with Vertigo315. He keeps deleting my constructive edits and tells me to tell why I am adding new info in the discussion page, so I did and now he has warned me of vandalism after providing a reason.

Promo images

Hey there, I notice you recently deleted a character image lifted from the ABC website citing their own terms of use. I have been replacing and discouraging such images myself based on the same argument, of which I became aware in some long-ago discussions on the topic. However, when asked not too long ago to defend my position with WP policy, I was unable to find anything concrete. Do you know of any precedents, policies or guidelines established on this specific topic somewhere, or are you just going on the merits of the sites' terms of use themselves? They obviously prohibit unauthorized use elsewhere, but any copyrighted material anywhere has the same inherent prohibitions which may be circumvented if fair use applies, so I'm not sure how defendable our position is. Thanks. — TAnthony^Talk 03:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lois Griffin and sex-ed

not everything that appears to be salacious vandalism necessarily is.there was an episode of 'family guy' in which lois was a sex-ed teacher.had i not known this, i would probably also have assumed such an entry to be vandalism. cymru am byth! Toyokuni3 (talk) 05:11, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bjaco18

Hi. I see that you blocked Bjaco18 for vandalism threats. You might also want to either keep an eye on or block Stop and stare14. This is allegedly his sister (and hasn't edited much since he set up her account). However, she might start "editing" now that he is blocked. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 20:57, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain something to a new user?

Hi

I don't understand why my edit is being repeatedly undone on the Kent Hovind page, when it is factual and I am providing an internal link for it to another wikipedia article. Is the sentence contentious, is it a matter of style, or something else?

Thanks for your feedback.

User:Santos25Q

If Santos returns from his block, do you think it would be possible to place him on sort of page move restriction or probation. He's moved pages about 80 times, and for the most part I see nothing helpful about any of them. In fact, for the most part they seem to be hyphenated versions of soap characters various married names regardless of whether or no the character even used the name.
