User talk:Daedalus969

Daedalus969 is taking an unexpected wikibreak due to computer problems, but hopes to be back soon in full ability. He is still able to edit, but only from that of other family members' computers, which he has sporadic access to.

Thanks for dealing with the vandalism at Troy Davis case

Just wanted to say thanks. Have a great Christmas. Josh Atkins ^{(talk - contribs)} has smiled at you!

Thanks

Thanks, but I meant a place were you can discuss a topic (not as a forum) request articles be written on a topic... Like a section on different topics. Mecha13 (talk) 21:36, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for sockpuppet investigation

How is this G6? It does not need "to be deleted to merge histories, reverse a redirect, or perform other non-controversial technical tasks". — neuro^(talk) 22:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thus, the change back to the norm may confuse. A redirect may be helpful for those looking for where the page they knew to be there has moved. — neuro^(talk) 22:41, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hi. Just saying thanks for your messages at User talk:Tarysky. Not that it's anything you'll probably want to waste time on, but a perusal through this user's Talk Page history will reveal some serious problems way before tonight's exchange. Anyway, again, thanks. - eo (talk) 07:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DY71 recent hand-puppet.

He makes is so obvious - just waited out the autoconfirmed thing then back to his old haunts - Peripitus (Talk) 08:05, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks

I would ask that you would understand that my edits were not personal attacks. I was calling the his edits stupid because he removes information that he knows is correct. Also, I don't care who owns my talk page, but I would ask Users like yourself to respect it. If you talk a look at User:Ericorbit's talk page or its history, you will see that he says "stay off my page". You must give him this rule Wikipedia:Ownership of articles instead me. I'm trying to correct someone who is wrong. The last I checked, that wasn't considered a personal attack! Tarysky (talk) 16:09, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"I am not..."

"I am not a conspiarcy theorist. I am a scientist and freedom fighter." [sic] [1] -- That's one of the most gorgeous quotables I've seen in years. Btw I looked at the ranges -- it's Telstra in Australia, the largest provider there, and while we could take parts of them down briefly, it would be a little like using Tsar Bomba to stop the neighbor's dog from barking. Probably just removing his rants from everywhere except his own talk page would be my suggestion (that's why I haven't blocked his one open IP).

Fodient

Hello Daedalus. I've updated Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations#71.246.98.72 with a suggestion to open a full SPI case. Take a look and see what you think. EdJohnston (talk) 03:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Tarysky

Hello Daedalus. Please don't concern yourself with the behavior of this blocked editor. It is traditional to grant some leeway to people who are blocked. If he removes your messages, just ignore it. If the edit summaries are not right, everyone can still see from the history what truly happened. It would be better if you would let it alone for now. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 22:18, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Roberto Reyes Barreiro

While there isn't much on Google pertaining to him, he is a figure both pre- and post- Mexican Revolution. Mexico has gone through quite a bit of trouble to exclude him from their history because of his socialist (i.e., communist) leanings and teachings. He was the leader of an uprising that has merit in today's environment - the Renter's Revolt of Veracruz. Then (as now), the economy of Mexico was getting worse, and people were without jobs -- all at a time when there wasn't unemployment insurance or welfare or any other social subsidy to help the average person.

Reyes Barreiro was a true hero than as he would be now, and an inspiration to those who knew of him. WHile I understand WPs policy toward "people of merit", certainly Reyes Barreiro is a person of merit in that he is inspirational and a figure of leadership in a time of upheaval.
