Re: Family Name not inportant

Thank you for the removal of the word, NONSENSE. We VELDERS' are a proud family, and WE are ROYALITY dating back to 1207. I am sure that the member of our family has paper proof of this. I was only sent a written letter, in Dutch as to its authenticity. As stated elsewhere, I have been working on my Family tree for over 15 years, and one place where I have spent many an hour each day, for weeks, is the LDS. I have posted post's all over the world seeking our name. Found there are Streets, etc, and plenty of VELDERS.

met a Professor in a university of Holland who had come over to hold a sermester for three day, in Athens Ga, University of Athens, and he brought with him his Family Tree. There is/was so much information that I had gathered on line, so I shall re-enter my family member as a Royal member of our VELDERS' FAMILY. What gave me the idea was, I was watching a T.V. station this morning, and saw that the reporters name was brought up on the screen, and it gave a little information about her. I feel that Pieter Velders, a desentant or ROYALITY has just as much, if not more reason to be listed.

thank you

Crossposting

Hi again, it seems to me that the last several comments at this AfD should possibly be moved to the talkpage for the article. I wanted to ask you about it because:

  1. that would mean moving a couple of your comments, which I wouldn't do without consulting you, and
  2. I'm not actually sure it's appropriate to move comments out of AfD, even if they do belong elsewhere.

Share your thoughts? --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 18:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm glad I asked! I didn't realise that it would be viewed so seriously, but now I can understand why. WP:BOLD is a fine policy, but sometimes it just makes sense to ask first...and now I'm glad I did. Thanks again for taking the time to answer and explain. --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 20:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • BTW - I have really enjoyed interacting with you throughout this debate. You are an excellent opponent and an admirable wikipedian - I salute you! I also look forward to being on the same side as you sometime; we would surely decimate the opposition :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 20:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

If I recall correctly, the three-revert rule does not apply to cases of vandalism. At first, this was a content dispute, but various other editors (as well as myself) have demanded the anonymous editor to provide sources for his edits, which he has not; he has not even attempted to discuss the issue. At this point it is simply vandalism. Yesterday he continued to vandalize, even after being warned 4 times. He was then blocked for 3 hours, after which he immediately began vandalizing again. I also submitted the vandalized pages to WP:RFP; my request was denied, with the suggestion to simply revert (see here).

Trust me, I thought about the 3RR before I started reverting, and if anyone blocks me, I will use that RFP response as my justification. 3RR was meant to prevent legitimate edit wars (over content); this is just vandalism. And I cannot be held guilty for making so many reverts if my request for page protection was denied. What am I supposed to do without page protection—let the guy keep vandalizing? --Larry V (talk | contribs) 18:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to sumbit another request for semi-protection for the affected pages. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 19:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, I gotcha; I'm going to start following some Wikipedia policy on this one (e.g., request for protection, request for block, etc.) =) --Larry V (talk | contribs) 19:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, check this out: User talk:162.84.213.11. This was the IP he was using yesterday. You'll note that he was given a final warning twice. Not only that, but he got another final warning after his block expired! --Larry V (talk | contribs) 20:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aeon needs you help

Hello Alphachimp I need your help in a matter. UCRGrad is telling other editors who I'm involved with that he has issue with me being in the AMA. I'm currently handling a case for the Mediation Cabal and feel that these actions could derail any progress I could make. Please see the following User talk:Triddle and User talk:JakGd1 (and my own talk page User talk:Aeon1006) they are the editors that are invloved in a mediation case that I'm Facilitating. Thanks Aeon Insane Ward 22:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Alphachimp, I hope that the matter will cease. Aeon Insane Ward 23:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry it will take more than an abusive editor to stop me from helping the Community (Whether it is Vandal Fighting, Helping membes through Esperanza, or Mediation Cabal) but will take your advice and leaving the computer for a while. A nice long walk will help a great deal. Thanks again Aeon Insane Ward 23:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UCRGrad has replied to our posts. He denies Stalking has is saying he has a 'Duty to Warn'. I have a feeling he is not going to stop. What do you recomend? Aeon Insane Ward 00:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He is still at it, I have notifed RyanGerbil and asked him to step in Aeon Insane Ward 01:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Litclass

I gave the user a very final warning. I chose not to block, mainly because the reverts have stopped, at least temporarily. Let me know if this user puts even one more toe over the line, because then I will block them. Cheers, RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 23:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Av H

I see your point. I'll put it back. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 02:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I would have if Pacific Coast Highway hadn't done it first. But it's the thought that counts, right? --Larry V (talk | contribs) 02:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NYCS simplebus

I was thinking that you should probably rename {{NYCS simplebus}} to something like {{NYC simplebus}}. My more complex template, {{NYCS bus}}, was never intended for use outside of "Bus connections" sections in articles about NYC subway stations. On the other hand, your template can be very useful to reference bus routes in contexts outside of subway articles; thus, I don't think that it should have "NYCS" in its name. What do you think? --Larry V (talk | contribs) 02:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think it would be just fine to rename it and then let the redirects do their job; I've done it quite often myself with NYCS service templates and such, and it works perfectly. In addition, I find the use of alpha in your signature to be quite clever, and I don't think that the Latin will stop anyone from finding your talk page—although, perhaps, not everyone who goes there will be wanting to praise you. =) --Larry V (talk | contribs) 13:32, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support in my RfA! Unfortunately, the request did not pass, with a vote of (43/16/7). But your support was appreciated and I'll just keep right on doing what I do. Maybe I'll see ya around -- I'll be here!

Question

Is it normal for, for example, band pages to have external links to fan-based websites? Or is that not really appropriate? Thanks. Laura June 20:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unless it's a really notable band with a very informative fansite it probably shouldn't. --mboverload@ 20:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bots

Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I understand the usefulness and importance of bots. The reason I wrote that was, as you mentioned, I was finding an inordinate number of bot edits on my watchlist, most of which seemed at first glance to be trivial edits. Though large scale edits and cleanups would be impossible without bots. I'm glad to hear there is an approval process for them. Cheers JPotter 21:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Like here's one for instance, in this diff [[1]] this bot is going around removing the wikilink from the word metamorphosis. Why? It seems unneccessary. People watching that article may want to have that word linked and need to revert it. Not a huge deal in any case, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment on it. JPotter 21:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship

Hey. I read your userpage and it says you'd like to be an admin someday. I have seen you in AFDs and some RFAs and I think you're overdue for adminship. If it's OK with you, I'd like to nominate you for adminship. What do you think? --Tuspm(C | @) 22:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know I'm butting in here, but I'd heartily support you, as would many other users, I'm sure! HawkerTyphoon 22:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry about butting in, I do it all the time.
Thank you both for considering this. I think Yanksox already has dibbs, but I'll bet he'd let you conom if you're interested. I'm going to hold off for the time being, because I'd like to complete my editor review (I think the normal run time is 1 month, so around August 10), and I'd like to strive to improve myself a little bit more as an editor. In the meantime, I sincerely appreciate both of your sentiments. Reading them most definitely made my day =D. Regards, αChimp laudare 23:31, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Subway Infobox

Hey there. I noticed that in the infobox for the 175th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line) station, under "next south," it identifies the A, but not the C (or the 1, for that matter, but since the 1 is on the IRT B'way line, I wouldn't really expect it). Anyway, being new to the world of templates and such, I don't really see how I can correct this. If you do understand it, could you give me any pointers, etc? Thanks

BTW, I put up a picture for the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal. Really difficult to find a decent angle from the street level. I'm going to keep my eyes and ears open for someone with a high enough window near the terminal. But I suppose the one I took will have to do for now. -Seidenstud 23:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't fully understand your explanation of why the 175th St station's infobox doesn't include the C. When I look at the infobox for the 145th Street (IRT Lenox Avenue Line), where only the 3 train stops, for "next south," it includes the 2 train. What is the difference between the two stops?
Thanks for your nice words about my photos.
-Seidenstud 00:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Should I help with the comment on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Subway (section) or would the potential edit conflicts make it not worth it? -Seidenstud 00:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bot

I jsut got in the bag a last night, my orignal comment was out of the bag :) I'll extend the trial on there, but hold off on any more mass edits so there is a change for community input on your bot. — xaosflux Talk 01:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I happened into this page, I noticed you revereted edits - I think it needs serious fixing or possibly protection by an administrator, the date of his death is still listed as today and has for awhile. There is no current news about this guy on the web, I'm worried that this could be some sort of a hoax but can't keep following it this evening... Sirmob 04:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't revert his page. He is dead ans I would like you to unblock me because it was not vandelism. I never knew editing an article to post FACTS was vandelism. 68.83.181.217 04:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)User[reply]

The bible

Thank you for experimenting with the page Bible on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. αChimp laudare 04:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Bible. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me.

Um, thanks for the warnings. You do realize that you are POV pushing in a major article? αChimp laudare 05:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stop re-editing

Stop changing the page. Why do you keep editing my changes when I am simply adding valuable, relevant, factual information? Stop or i'll have you banned.

the vandalism or not bot

Yeah. Thanks for your sincere and illustrious comments on my page. They are actually appreciated and as far as the nitwit vandal thing..no problem. Most of my irritation was aimed at a nasty, but sort of funny, too, accusation that was placed on my page by a real niiwit, at or around the same time. But, in any case, you gave me a laugh and I sorta always like to do that. As far as the Germans solution of userboxes goes, I don't much give a shit what the Germans think about userboxes. As far as the pres goes, well he's the pres, what can I say? I don't personally agree with him and the controlling nature of his decision, but what I think is not a big deal anyway, so who cares? In the end the new official Wikipedia environmental userbox is more attractive but it doesn't say what I would like it to say. It says, "This user is interested in environmentalism." If I make my own it will say "This user is an environmentalist." Not exactly the same thing. Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to leave considerate and funny comments on my page. Later.
